“Debra is fantastic with our baby! He loves staying with her, and we never have to worry when he’s in her care. She treats him like family, and we feel so comfortable knowing he’s with Auntie Debrah. Highly recommend her!”
“King had the best sleepover party with Mika and her family. I appreciate you! I was able to travel for work and not worry about my puppy love. He acted like he didn’t want to leave. A good sign of a good time. Thank you!”
“We are so pleased with Rebekah and the care she gave Kylo. She answered all text promptly and Kylo felt at home during his stay. I would highly recommend her for the boarding of your pet.”
“It was my first time boarding my pup so I was super nervous especially considering she is fully blind. I chose Deborah because she had great reviews and I’m so glad I did!! She treated Lucy like she was one of her own and went out of her way to make sure my pup and her special needs were accommodated. I received daily photos and a full report on how she did when I came to pick her up. She even left with an adorable new charm on her collar! I have already booked her for an additional stay. Thanks for everything, Deborah!!”
“Valeria was able to come in and takeover another booking on emergency short notice and went above and beyond, I felt my son was in safe hands as Valeria was able to do pickup and drop-off. She was very prompt and provided me updates and photos without me asking. She was GREAT in every way for me and Pluto and I will most definitely be looking to book with her again. FIVE STARS!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: "Can I pet your dog?" If you've ever walked past us on the street, you've probably heard my daughter, Lorelai, ask that question. She has never met a dog (or cat) she didn't want to love. The truth is, she's not the only one. Our family has always believed pets are family. Our beloved dog, Cinnamon Roll, was so special that he became the star of my children's book. When your pet stays with us, they'll be welcomed into a joyful, loving home where they'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and photo updates. Whether your dog loves to play fetch or prefers curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. As a mom, I know how hard it is to leave someone you love in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a little vacation of their own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member. (And yes... Lorelai will probably ask if she can pet them. ❤️🐾) Pets fit naturally into our daily routine! I work from home most days, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods. Morning walks, playtime in our fenced yard, cuddle breaks, and plenty of potty breaks are all part of the day. I keep my schedule flexible to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. Weekend stays are always welcome, and I can accommodate many holiday bookings as well. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, and a clean, smoke-free home where they can relax just like they would at home. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time so I can give each one the attention they deserve. I'll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine as closely as possible, and I'll send plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and having fun.

Long walks. We have plenty of time on our hands.
“Linda is a wonderful Rover sitter! She has a great set up - a big fenced in yard with lots of sights and smells that dogs love. She communicated with us via text to let us know how Willow was doing, sent us photos and even a video update which we really appreciated. Linda clearly loves all the dogs that come to stay with her and takes care of them like they are her own. If you are looking for a caring, dedicated, friendly pet sitter, Linda is a great choice. We are booking another stay with her soon!”
“James and his wife took incredible care of Lacy & Gizmo during their stay. Lacy has severe storm anxiety and James and his wife made sure she stayed comfortable. They went above and beyond taking care of my pups. He was great in sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them.”
“Josh and Kerith B. provide a safe and incredibly fun atmosphere for my dogs. Josh has allowed me to book a trip same day when I was in a bind and desperately needed someone to watch the pups last second. They are great people and treat my dogs like family.”
“The whole Family was wonderful with Biscuit. Not only did they watch Biscuit with only 2 days notice but they also sent pictures and were very responsive every time I texted!!! Biscuit enjoyed his visit and I would highly recommend them for dog sitting in the future! I also will ask them to watch Biscuit again in the future!!”
“Thank you, Jordyn, for your incredible help with Poncho. I truly appreciate how you kept us updated on Poncho's stay and well-being. I highly recommend Jordyn for anyone needing pet care.”
“After reading bio and meeting Andrea, we felt really great about leaving Milo with Andrea. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! The care and attention given to our pup was excellent. We received regular photo and video updates that kept us connected while we were away. It’s clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality, reliable pet care! 🥰”
“Trinise was great! Her communication was amazing it was our first time using a sitter and she made us feel comfortable and she is very nice. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Daphne is a great sitter! This is my 5th time using her, and she always remains professional, reliable, and caring. I receive daily photos and she is responsive. Bella is always excited to see her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Mateo was so wonderful with our dogs! He handled all 4 like a pro, even the little one that is blind and requires insulin injections after each meal. We will definitely be calling him back for all our petsitting needs!”
“This amazing woman took care of my cats while I was on vacation, had to take a last minute work trip, and while I had to quickly make it to a funeral. She not only takes care of your fur babies as if they were her own, she updates you with everything, takes cute pictures, and keeps your place tidy and running smoothly. Absolutely would recommend Karen to anyone who is nervous about leaving their pets alone.”
“Kayleigh did an overnight stay for us so that our cat, Hitch, would have someone to interact with while we were gone. Hitch gave her Two Paws Up, so we definitely plan to use her again. Kayleigh was very prompt in responding during the vetting process and while we were on our trip. We felt very comfortable having her in our home”
“Naomi took great care of my two babies (cats) while I was out of town and went above and beyond to bring in my mail and packages. She updated me daily with pics of them and stayed with them while they ate. Definitely recommend!”
“Kira was amazing and the peace of mind we needed for our time away from home! She was so amenable to all the craziness of our cat-filled home, and was so kind, friendly, and respectful! Our multiple cat home was in great hands! We came back to a clean home, and five happy kitties! We will definitely book with Kira again for our next trip!”
“Marilyn was such an amazing pet sitter! She sent me the sweetest pictures of my cat while we were away and I could tell my cat really enjoyed her visits! My cat is very shy, so it was nice to see how Marilyn made an effort to connect with her and my cat bonded with her. She also checked in on my cat another day after our flight got delayed. I would definately recommend!!”
“Rebekah provided drop in service for my two cats for a week. I couldn’t ask for anything more. She even put the used dishes in the dishwasher. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.”

She was respectful of my home, communicated with me often and sent pictures while I was away. Thank you so much Tara!”
“Meredyth was amazing and I would absolutely use her again. Sent lots of pictures and spent time with my animals! I felt incredibly comfortable while I was away knowing that Meredyth was caring for my babies.”

“Absolutely love Tara! She treats my sweet baby like one of her own! We will definitely be back and I would recommend her to ANYONE that needs any type of care for their pets. Jameson went to doggy day care and has been more worn out and happy than he ever has been at home!”
“Deaborah was very nice. When I arrived she talked to Coco and petted, also let Coco smell her. This gave Coco time to get to know her. This was my first time to leave Coco with someone I did not know at all. She sent me 3 pics of her. When I picked Coco up she was not shaking or trying to get out of Deaborah’s arms. That was a good sign for me. When I am back in this area again I will get Deaborah to babysit my fur baby again.”
“I had the pleasure of having Valeria watch my fur baby, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pup was well cared for, happy, and calm when I got back which tells me everything I need to know. Thank You again”

About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.

I work from home, my wife is a stay at home Mom, and all 4 of our kids are home schooled! We live in a great neighborhood for walks! We will give your dog loving care! We will take him or her on walks and play with them daily. We also love trips to the park! I work from home and my wife homeschools the kids so we're all home all the time. This ensures we can take great care of your precious pet! We love to go for walks with dogs! We love to snuggle on the couch and play fetch in the house with them as well.
About: As far back as I can remember I’ve owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters you name it and I’ve probably cared for it. I love dogs the most and currently own three. Training them, caring for them, playing with them are my passions. I can bathe, trim nails, give medications, train them, walk them properly, and integrate them into packs when requested. I work from home M-F and have flexibility with my hours. I like to travel and I know the cost of putting my dogs up in boarding or day care facilities. We've decided to reduce our travel for now to save up money. I am happy to help out where needed. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. We have a fenced in yard the dogs can run and play in. We also have 2 large dog crates and one small dog crate we keep in case the dogs want/need to be isolated. When we are home our dogs are able to play inside and outside. We have parks close by and take our dogs on walks 2-3 times a day. Your pet would either walk with them or separately depending on his/her ability. We play fetch, we do commands, we can run them or play in water if it’s hot. We love dog parks and shaded walking trails as well. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home.. I work from home and can watch them inside while I work. I let them play outside several times a day as wells. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home. We have dog beds for them to lie on. We have a big yard and a pool.
About: I had a dog most of my childhood and when my daughter was younger. I’ve had a dog in my house when my daughter moved back. I’m available 7 days a week currently. We take walks three times a day. A cage is not necessary but is recommended in case their first night in new surroundings is hard. Doggy beds are a must and poop bags also. We try to keep a clean neighborhood. Very safe neighborhood and walking trails nearby. No stray animals or loose pets to worry about. We do not take walks after dark. If you bring a cage, you pet will not be locked inside I do have a spare room for your pet to occupy if I need to step out.
About: At 28 Years Old, I have nearly always had a dog living with me. 8 dogs have been apart of my life in the past and currently 4 reside in our large loving home. Nearly every single one of my dogs have been rescued and cared for, where I try my best to change my own routine to better fit their needs rather than trying to change them to fit my own. In the past years I have boarded relatives' dogs at my own home and would like to continue helping dog parents with any dog care they might need. Because I've had so many dogs in my life, I have had to experience both the beginning and end of their lives. I especially enjoy giving extra care to senior dogs to make sure they are most comfortable in the golden age of their lives. I am working only part time so I have plenty of time to give your dogs as little or as much attention as you need. My schedule is extremely flexible. Weekends or Weekdays are perfect for me. My home sits on a hilly and forested 3 acres, with fenced in portions as well as a long circular driveway perfect for walks! In the fenced area, there is a pool perfect for any water loving dog in the summer! There is also an enclosed run of chickens that are unbothered by any rambunctious and curious dogs. Currently we have 4 dogs, one an outdoor Rottweiler dog that is all too happy to play with another dog, but with her own separated fenced in area. We have 4 indoor dogs, 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Chihuahua. All of them have shown friendly tendencies to unfamiliar dogs of similar size. They have had mixed feelings over larger dogs and I know that not all dogs enjoy the company of others. Should your own dog be more comfortable being alone and dislike other dogs, our house is set up in a way that your own dog can have their own private space away from my dogs and still get whatever attention is needed while still allowing my own dogs ample space.
About: Hi, we’re Frank and Leticia. Oh, the joy of finding someone to watch your dog when you have to go out of town. NOT! At least for me, this was always so stressful. We tend to think anyone can watch a dog, but no... not really. Some people just don’t care that much. To them, it’s just a dog. And unfortunately, there is really no way to know that beforehand. And I’m not even talking about someone treating and caring for your dog exactly the way you would. I mean the basics — feeding them, taking them out to do their business, getting them some exercise and, hopefully, giving them a little attention. You would think that part would be easy to find, whether it’s a friend or a sitter. It isn’t always. Maybe I’ve just had particularly bad luck, but I had a few horrible experiences that made me much more anxious about leaving my dog with anyone. Once, I came home after being away for a week and found the TV room covered in poop and the blinds chewed up. This was a dog who had never once gone to the bathroom inside the house and had never been a chewer. He didn’t even destroy his own toys. Not one. It was pretty obvious he had been left in that room for far too long. Long enough that he had no choice but to relieve himself inside and became stressed enough to chew the blinds. Another time, someone I knew and trusted kept him confined to a bathroom because she said his fur was bothering her allergies. He basically spent the week in there. And then, out of desperation, I once looked into boarding him at a well-known facility. I was already not a huge fan of that kind of environment for anything longer than a day, but while setting up his stay I was asked whether I wanted to add daily walks. As an optional extra. What? The additional charge wasn’t what bothered me. It was the fact that walking the dog was optional in the first place. The idea that leaving a dog in a kennel-type environment for a week without regular walks could even be an option just did not sit well with me. So trust me, I get it. You go through a few experiences like that and you can’t help but worry about everything. At the same time, I was also very lucky to have friends who cared for Louie with so much love, and I will always be thankful for them. Once you finally find someone you genuinely trust with your dog, what a relief. It honestly feels like you found a pot of gold. My own experience with all of this is a big part of how we approach pet sitting today. We lost our little guy Louie during the pandemic, and we still miss having a dog around more than I can explain. We’re not quite ready to adopt again, so we found that pet sitting gives us some of that companionship back. I joke sometimes that I’m not really sure whether we’re keeping the dog company or the dog is keeping us company. Both Leticia and I work from home, so we are around a lot. And the way we care for your dog is pretty simple: we treat them the way we would have wanted someone to treat Louie. Pet sitting is obviously not the same as having your own dog, but a lot of the time it actually requires even more attention and patience. And that makes sense too. They don’t understand that you went on vacation and will be back Sunday night. All they know is that their person left. Some dogs adjust very quickly and make themselves at home almost immediately. Others are a process. They’re nervous. They’re still trying to figure out who you are and whether they can trust you. Some don’t eat normally at first. Some follow you everywhere. Some need more walks, more interaction and lots and lots of reassurance for the first day or two. That is the part of pet sitting I think people sometimes underestimate. It really isn’t just listing a service and having a dog stay at your house, or going over to theirs. They need real company. They need interaction. They need walks. They need play. And sometimes they just need to be able to stay next to you as much as possible while they figure everything out. We try to keep their normal routine as much as we can — meals, walks, bedtime, commands, treats, medication, where they like to sleep, and whatever little habits they are used to at home. Senior dogs especially need a different kind of patience, and we love them. Slower walks. Medication schedules. More frequent bathroom breaks. Helping them get comfortable. Going up and down the stairs with them every single time because, of course, they have to follow you everywhere haha. Sometimes we may need to cook them something like a little rice and chicken, if their owner allows it, just to get them interested in eating. Sometimes they need to be hand-fed for a bit. You name it. Whatever helps them get through that initial separation anxiety and start feeling like themselves again. Usually, after a couple of days, they settle in and their personality really starts coming out. And of course, right when they get completely comfortable with us, it’s almost time for them to go home. But that’s okay. We had a good time too. As far as having a fenced backyard, either ours or yours, it honestly doesn’t make a big difference to us. I wouldn’t leave a dog outside unattended anyway, and to me, opening a back door isn’t a substitute for exercise or interaction. When we go outside, we go do something. Sometimes it’s a short walk. Sometimes it’s a long one. Maybe some exploring, playing, or time at the fenced dog area in our subdivision if that is something your dog enjoys and you’re comfortable with. Louie was never the kind of dog who would just hang out outside and entertain himself anyway. If your dog genuinely loves hanging out in the yard, absolutely tell us. Every dog is different. But enough about us. There really isn’t anything I can write here that will completely take the worry away. I totally understand that. Anyone can write a nice profile. Anyone offering a service can say all the right things and sound wonderful. Unfortunately, that is what makes choosing someone so difficult. So more than anything, I just hope you find someone you genuinely trust to take care of your best buddy while you’re away — whether that ends up being a friend, a family member, us, or another sitter. You will find them. Don’t settle for anything less. Best, Frank & Leticia We both work from home, so we’re around most of the day. Your dog will usually have company throughout the day, with regular breaks for walks, potty time, play, attention, or just hanging out with us. We follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and respect whatever rules you have at home. We’re comfortable with medications, senior dogs, special feeding routines, and dogs that need a little extra patience or reassurance. We do not leave dogs outside unattended, and we never treat a backyard as a replacement for walks or interaction.

“Catecha really stepped in for us while in a bind due to last minute work trips and my overnight work schedule. Diesel loves walks, so I know he was excited for a morning one. Thanks again!”
About: I work in a rescue clinic where I have developed skills like administering medication, working with all ages from newborns to seniors, and working with animals of all sizes! I have owned a variety of pets over the years, and have had them from newborns up to 20 yrs old. My years of caring for animals includes everything from daily care, medications, subcutaneous fluids, special needs animals, fostering cats & dogs, and just about everything in between. My current role with a group I work with is TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) of feral & community cats, as well as working in the vet clinic. The spicy kitties and scared doggies are some of my favorites because they need patience, compassion, and a different approach than a typical pet. From the furry & fuzzy animals to the scaly & slithering, they are all welcome in my life! I would love to meet your babies and help you feel good knowing they are loved and cared for during your time away. I am not available on Tuesdays since that is the day I work in a rescue vet clinic. Every day I care for my personal pets, and would love to add your fur babies to my days. At this time, I'm not available to care for your pets in my home but I would be happy to recommend facilities that can care for your pets.
“Kayleigh is kind, friendly a was gentle with my FurKids, they were a little nervous meeting her at first but she was patient until they was ready. I would recommend her and would use her in the near future.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and their innocence. I am reliable and sweet to them at all times! I am currently working a part time job and my hours fluctuate, but I still have a flexible schedule to dog walk either when I get off or before work! I have a shih tzu at home who is a very calm dog. I feed her twice a day with blood pressure meds. She might already be tired of how much love I show her every second of the day!

“I’m always a little anxious when I need to leave my pup, but I’m so glad that this awesome family were willing to take my dog on several walks and play with her this weekend while I was gone (also on short notice!). It really helped my stress go down knowing that she was in capable and caring hands!”
About: I’ve dog sit for many family friends, old teachers, neighbors through my life and it’s safe to say I do a good job if they come asking for more. I’ve sit senior dogs before so I know all the things that go into keeping them happy and healthy. I have a cat and dog of my own and have raised them from a puppy and kitten until now and only provide best possible care for my babies because they deserve it! I currently am unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of any pets who need it. I need something to keep me busy during the day and this is it I make sure I have a clean environment for the pet to be while i’m watching and make sure they have all the things they need to be happy.

“Naomi was great. My baby loved her. At an extremely last minute notice, she saved the day while I was out of town on an emergency. I could she my baby girl smiling as Naomi had her by my remote door camera. We will definitely use her again.”
About: Hey fur parents, I just wanted to come on here and provide a 5 star service to you and your fur baby! Here’s a little bit about me… I’ve pet sat, walked pets, administered medication to many pets that require it on a day to day basis (via orally and injection), and many drop-in visits for a little over 5 years now to highly anxious, aggressive, and elderly animals. I’ve also worked it the veterinary field assisting doctors to provide hands on care to your fur baby for a little over a year now. I’m also in with the AKC. I compete with dogs in conformation, agility, dock diving, scent work, and barn hunt etc. and have been doing that for about a year with all types of breeds and sizes. I have always had a special connection with dogs and all animals for that matter and enjoy every second I can get with any of them. I look forward to doing some pet sitting or walking for you and your fur baby! I work part-time at the veterinary clinic (2 times a week for 5 hours a day) which gives me plenty of time during the week to play with your precious fur baby! I’m also a college student who has recently switched to online classes giving me even more time with your pet! I have a fenced in yard for endless potty breaks and plenty of play area! I have two loving Labrador retriever’s dogs to bring your pet a buddy to play endless tug of war with or if your pet isn’t on the energetic side just a good ole snuggle buddy! 😁
About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! I have also cared for cats all my life! I currently own 1 dog and 1 cat! Book with me today! I only work part time and I am in school in the mornings only monday- thursday!! I plan to fit your animals needs into my schedule!! I make sure that the animals in my care are always cared for to the best of my ability. Safety and comfort are my top priorities.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 from friends and family, I’ve always loved dogs, but my parents weren’t really a fan of them, now that I move in to my own house, that has plenty of space for dogs to run and play I’d love to take care of your pets as if they were my own I’m a stay at home mom of 2 girls and 1 baby boy, I’m all day at home almost every single day of the week I have a fenced yard, my backyard it’s kind of unusual, it’s like a double fenced yard, one for my house and behind that is another fenced yard for my husbands horses, so if you’d like your dog to have some kind of farm experience they can be on both yards, but if you preferred for your dog to stay away from the horses that can be too
About: I love showing affection and learning new things and also being able to teach your dog new things. I’ve always been around dogs as a little girl and you understood that dogs have feelings needs just as much as humans do. I make sure I provide dogs with as much care as possible. I like taking walks, runs, and playing.. I’m usually available person.. I would want a bond with your dog and be able to be there for your animal anytime you’re not available to.. I will nurture your dog make them feel safe and be able to trust me.. I don’t have much of a special kills as far as teaching your dog how to do tricks lol but I can at least try. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I have schooling on weekends but I’m pretty much available anytime during the week days I will make sure when I care for your pets at your home, their safety is first and I will be very attentive to your pet
About: Hey everyone I’ve had 10 cats and 5 dogs ! Lol I love love love animals ! My 10 month old is still too little for me to bring one to keep but we’d love to see friendly animals daily. Especially my 6 year old princess Payton I’m currently working from home on my own schedule baking custom cakes so I have all the time in the world to put my love into animals ! I have all the time in the world to play and watch your fur babies ! My kids will also play with them to keep them happy and busy ! And If you want them crated I can make that happen.
About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.
About: They can play weigh Benji, my yorkie. We go for 3 walks a day to mcMichael park. We love finding new routes to and from there I work from home Monday through Friday and off the weekends I have a little Yorky named Benjamin he doesn’t bark or anything but he’s looking to make friends with other dogs and he loves sniffing and cuddles I wipe paws after walk and for small dogs wipe bums after bathroom time.

“Catecha took amazing care of my pup while I took a small getaway. She was absolutely amazing and had all positivity and kindness towards both my little guy and myself. Highly recommend and would use her again!!!”
“We are so pleased with Rebekah and the care she gave Kylo. She answered all text promptly and Kylo felt at home during his stay. I would highly recommend her for the boarding of your pet.”
“It was my first time boarding my pup so I was super nervous especially considering she is fully blind. I chose Deborah because she had great reviews and I’m so glad I did!! She treated Lucy like she was one of her own and went out of her way to make sure my pup and her special needs were accommodated. I received daily photos and a full report on how she did when I came to pick her up. She even left with an adorable new charm on her collar! I have already booked her for an additional stay. Thanks for everything, Deborah!!”
“Valeria was able to come in and takeover another booking on emergency short notice and went above and beyond, I felt my son was in safe hands as Valeria was able to do pickup and drop-off. She was very prompt and provided me updates and photos without me asking. She was GREAT in every way for me and Pluto and I will most definitely be looking to book with her again. FIVE STARS!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: "Can I pet your dog?" If you've ever walked past us on the street, you've probably heard my daughter, Lorelai, ask that question. She has never met a dog (or cat) she didn't want to love. The truth is, she's not the only one. Our family has always believed pets are family. Our beloved dog, Cinnamon Roll, was so special that he became the star of my children's book. When your pet stays with us, they'll be welcomed into a joyful, loving home where they'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and photo updates. Whether your dog loves to play fetch or prefers curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. As a mom, I know how hard it is to leave someone you love in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a little vacation of their own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member. (And yes... Lorelai will probably ask if she can pet them. ❤️🐾) Pets fit naturally into our daily routine! I work from home most days, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods. Morning walks, playtime in our fenced yard, cuddle breaks, and plenty of potty breaks are all part of the day. I keep my schedule flexible to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. Weekend stays are always welcome, and I can accommodate many holiday bookings as well. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, and a clean, smoke-free home where they can relax just like they would at home. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time so I can give each one the attention they deserve. I'll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine as closely as possible, and I'll send plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and having fun.
“Linda is a wonderful Rover sitter! She has a great set up - a big fenced in yard with lots of sights and smells that dogs love. She communicated with us via text to let us know how Willow was doing, sent us photos and even a video update which we really appreciated. Linda clearly loves all the dogs that come to stay with her and takes care of them like they are her own. If you are looking for a caring, dedicated, friendly pet sitter, Linda is a great choice. We are booking another stay with her soon!”
“Josh and Kerith B. provide a safe and incredibly fun atmosphere for my dogs. Josh has allowed me to book a trip same day when I was in a bind and desperately needed someone to watch the pups last second. They are great people and treat my dogs like family.”

“After reading bio and meeting Andrea, we felt really great about leaving Milo with Andrea. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! The care and attention given to our pup was excellent. We received regular photo and video updates that kept us connected while we were away. It’s clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality, reliable pet care! 🥰”
