“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Sky was the absolute bestttt with my dog while she spent the week with her. Great communicator and very understanding. My dog had so much fun, she came back home so worn out. Definitely booking her again soon!”

“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”

“Sophie & Sean were extremely caring and considerate sitters for our 14 year old, cockapoo, Dunkin’. They were incredibly patient and loving to our boy and his special needs while we were away. They treated him as though he was their own! Throughout the stay, they kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which really put us at ease. It was clear that Sophie & Sean went above and beyond to make sure Dunkin’ was comfortable and well-cared for. Very grateful to have found them 🐾💗”

“Julia was absolutely amazing! She took my girl Luna on a last minute notice, and treated my dog like her own. She sent me several updates and made sure my dog was having a great stay. She also gifted Luna with a ball which was really nice. So thankful to have found a great sitter. Thank you julia!”

“When Noodles is with Doug and Deb, we rest easy on our trips knowing he is well cared for and entertained. We’ve experienced short stays and a longer stay recently for one week. I love to see how responsive he is with them, telling me he enjoys spending time in their home. The pictures we receive from Doug & Deb show Noodles around their home, happy and content. Doug & Deb are truly amazing and a stay with them feels like being at home!”

“Michelle took Macy into her home and was so sweet to accommodate me with a last minute work trip that I had out of town. I could tell Macy was so well taken care of while I was gone, and felt right at home! I'll definitely be using Michelle for boarding my pup with future trips :)”

“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”


“Our dog stayed for a week with Jennifer and it was great. She was prompt in communicating, sent frequent updates, and our little guy had a fine time with her and Tiny. We will use Jennifer again the next time we travel.”

“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”

“Cary was great with my dog! Very friendly, calm and accommodating! I was nervous about finding someone to watch my dog for me, she has strong opinions about people and doesn't like everyone, but she warmed right up to Cary, we had no issues at all!”

“Sensational!!!! My Nessie was immediately accepted into John and Ryan's healthy and happy home and I am beyond grateful as at the last minute I needed boarding for her with a minor complication. John and Ryan truly are the best and pure animal lovers. THANK YOU TWO!!! Can't say enough~”

“Ian took SUCH good care of my 1.5 year old bernedoodle for 3 weeks when I was traveling for work. I had so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting lots of care, play time and super long, scenic walks every day! Ian was super communicative and sent pictures of Banksy multiple times a day, which I very much appreciated. He told me about the couple of other dogs that he watched as well and how Banksy got along with each. Ian really is thoughtful about how the dogs interact together and makes sure they have safe, supervised play and will give them space, if needed. I know Banks absolutely LOVED being there and was sad to leave! I will 100% be reaching out to Ian the next time I go out of town.”

“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”

“thanks for taking care of my babies! i literally couldn’t have asked for more; great communicator, lots of pictures, and went above and beyond in terms of caring for them.”

“Victoria was communicative, kind, flexible, and understanding. She really listened to specific instructions/circumstances, and based on the relationship she created with my normally-aloof animal, I could tell that she was exactly the perfect person for the job.”

“Our boys were well taken care of and happy when we returned. Elias was prompt in his responses and has a wonderful disposition. I will definitely book with him again.”

“I'm so glad I found Lee! She's the perfect cat caretaker for my 18 year old orange tabby Neo. She was very attentive and not rushed during our initial meeting, and she had no problems with a few quirks in my routine, such as blending the wet food with added water in a food processor, and disposing of the unused food in a garbage container I keep in my freezer. She cheerfully did everything just right, and gave Neenie the affection and attention he craves in my absence. I 100% recommend Lee and will use her services again if she's available!”
“Shante was very understanding of Dexter’s situation and was very informative & knowledgeable on how to care for him. Definitely recommend using Shante to care for your cats! I’m so happy Dexter has a new friend!”

“Morgan did a great job watching my cats while I was on vacation. All their needs were taken care of, and they had lots of play time and pets! Communication was good with pictures each day. I would definitely ask her to watch them again!”


“Emily was a great communicator and I appreciated her updates on how my cat Ruthie was doing while I was out of town. I could tell from the photos that Emily connects well with animals and that Ruthie enjoyed her drop in visits! Thanks Emily :)”


“Luna is absolutely the best! She is so kind and has such a peaceful presence which was put to the test with my prima donna Kitty hissing and growling. Undaunted, she watched Kitty for 3 weeks and gave her the absolute best love and care I could have ever hoped for. Even with Kitty's cranky behavior she won her over and I feel so blessed to have her. She is very knowledgeable in cat behavior. She had no problem working with Kitty's special diet and giving her oral medication. She put up with Kitty's tummy issues. Her home is very cat friendly. I wouldn't use anyone else.”

“Brenda was a fantastic sitter for my cat, Moomin. She sent me lovely pictures and updates throughout the stay. She took fantastic care of my cat and my apartment during a week and half long stay. Highly recommend Brenda for your pet sitting needs.”


“Afya did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of them takes medication and we were also having issues with bullying and resource guarding so she had to be particular attentive. She worked hard at bonding with them and kept them busy with playing and enrichment. We came home to two very relaxed and happy kitties which has not always been the case with other sitters. Her experience fostering kittens at Paws and Claws that I saw on her Rover profile gave me confidence in her skills as they have a high standard of care for their cats. She’s a cat whisperer! Thanks so much Afya!”

“There’s a reason I’ve only had one pet sitter since adopting Grover and Susan 14 months ago — Megan is the best. Her love for cats makes her attentive and caring, and more generally she’s amazingly diligent and responsible (I’ve never sent her a text that she didn’t respond to within a minute). Sometimes I think she knows my cats’ souls better than I do!”

“Ellie took fantastic care of my cat Rufus. Her updates were very detailed and she took plenty of great pictures. I have already booked with her twice and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her to any of my friends with pet sitting needs!”

“Ingrid was AMAZING! This was the first time I had to leave Mira for a trip and her attentiveness made me feel less anxious. She always updated me and sent the cutest photos of her cuddling or playing with Mira so I knew Mira was well taken care of. She also gave me one of her carpet cleaners so I know she made sure my house was in good order. When I got back from the trip, Mira was very calm and content as well. I highly recommend Ingrid and will be contacting her again if I ever take a trip!”

“This was my first time leaving my girl, Aquavit, and leaving her with Liz soothed all my nerves. She’s attentive and patient, and treats your pet like they’re her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and you won’t find a better pet sitter than her.”

“Athena took great care of our pup for daycare. She provided updates, was very caring and attentive for our pup. Athena was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions prior to taking care of our dog, which helped make the process very easy and gave us peace of mind. We recommend her!”

“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

“Myriam is kind, prompt, and super attentive/confident/responsible with dogs! I needed someone last minute and Myriam was super helpful and kept Zo for me all afternoon, as well as kept me updated with pictures! Absolutely great!”

“2nd daycare stay and it went great! Our guy was fearful at first but relaxed enough to allow Joerg to pick him up (which is a big deal), plus he got friendly with their dog Lizzie. Really appreciate Joerg & Lake openness to working with us on his anxiety response.”

“Whitney was super responsive when I was trying to complete my booking with her. Leo had a blast at her place. Whitney took him to the dog park, he played with her dog and kid as well. He had so much fun, he was completely knocked out after coming out for the rest of the evening! Will definitely be taking Leo back to Whitney!”

“I almost wanted to gatekeep Nicky because he’s that good! He takes amazing care of my dog, Juno, and I never have to worry when he's with him. He’s reliable, caring, communicative, and it’s obvious he genuinely loves animals. Juno is always happy, relaxed, and excited to see him, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I can’t recommend Nicky enough”

“Cynthia did a great job caring for our dog. She was flexible and accommodating and went above and beyond. We were traveling thru town for 3 days and needed a dog sitter. We highly recommend her.”

“Bridget was great and responsive! Our dog was very nervous getting dropped off but Bridget made sure she was calm and comfortable and sent us many updates. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.
“Sophie was great. She sent photos throughout the evening and Kevin seemed to be having a great time. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Kevin with her again.”


About: To me, pet sitting is about so much more than feeding pets and letting them outside—it’s about making them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their favorite people are away. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable and at home. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play, enjoys long walks, or is a senior who just wants a calm companion, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, can administer medications if needed, and always keep an eye out for any changes in their behavior or health. I also believe communication is just as important as great pet care. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in loving hands. My goal is for you to come home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pet who has been treated like family every step of the way. As a college student, my schedule is flexible, which means your dog will never be left alone for long. The only time I’m away is for a few hours each day while I’m in class, and the rest of my time is spent at home giving your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a home away from home where your furry family member gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where your pup can safely run, play, and explore. I also have a small, friendly dog who loves having new friends to play with and can provide great companionship for social dogs. If your dog prefers to be the only pet or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, that’s absolutely okay! My home has a separate basement area that allows me to keep the dogs completely separated that I sleep at, ensuring every pet has a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. I’ll always care for your dog based on their individual personality, needs, and comfort level so they feel right at home.

About: I believe that animals aren't just something meant to make our lives better, but that we're meant to do the same for them. These little homies deserve the best we can provide so the love and affection can be mutually beneficial I'm a person with a love of routine, so many things about pet care come easily to me (feeding, walking, cleaning up) but can roll with the punches if things come as a surprise or go awry In either location I'll be attentive and loving. I believe that whatever systems are in place with the owner should stay in place with my like routines and how certain behaviors are addressed

Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
