“Katerina and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Bocce, over labor day weekend. She kept in touch, sent pictures and even a short video clip, and was very accommodating schedule-wise. Bocce looked comfortable and seemed like he felt right at home during his stay. Thanks Katerina!”
“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”
“Christine is so good with Sparky. He is an older dog and we never worry about him while he is with Christine. She takes care of all of his needs and we can tell that he loves going there. I would highly recommend Christine.”
“Hannah is fantastic. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgable about dogs. She sees each dog as an individual and responds to their unique needs. Nothing fazes her. She is super responsive and communicative. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“This is the second time I've used June and Wade. We had to add an additional day and thank goodness they were available! Another wonderful stay. Several pictures were sent. He really makes himself at home with them. Will definitely use them again!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Ewa was amazing! Our dog got comfortable quickly in her home. She sent us pictures and videos of the dog having fun in her amazing yard, which is a dog heaven setting. We’ll definitely go back.”
“Tina was very nice, friendly and professional. We couldn't find a better sitter for our fur son, Donner, who had a great time during her stay. Thank you Tina and we'll be getting back to you again in the future as needed.”
“Dickson was absolutely wonderful with Zeus and our puppy, Gaia. We received pictures and videos throughout out vacay and we did not worry about the doggies at all. The big back yard was wonderful for them to run around. We will definitely be using Dickson again.”
“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”
“Carolyn was fantastic! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Cheryl and Jim were fantastic!! They took great care of our old girl, and treated her like family. She has some specific dietary requirements that they handled perfectly, sharing updates and pictures the whole time we were gone. Great communication, made us feel at ease, and we would not hesitate calling on them again. Highly recommended!!”
“As usual, my dog was taken care of well and allowed me to have confidence that he was okay while I was away. D'artagnan has such great skills with dealing with and handling canines, I'll continue to be a repeat customer because of the great service that he provides. 5 stars, will recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience! Rachael cared for our two cats while we were away and was patient with their very different personalities. Rachael took the time to give attention to both cats, kept us updated, and even helped out with a package and a couple kitty messes. We will definitely book again and highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!!”
“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“I strongly recommend Kati to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their fur babies. Appreciated the daily photos and notes she communicated for my review. I returned home to two happy fur babies. A BIG THANK YOU !!”
“Taylor was great with our cat while we were gone on a long trip. Lots of updates, pictures & videos and love for our kitty. Lovely person - we would def book with her again.”

“Deepthi was great at watching my cat! She did everything I asked and had great communication. Cat seemed very happy and healthy when I returned home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“I’ve had a few sitters in the past when I’ve been out of town since 2023. I believe Jennifer, by far, has been the best sitter I’ve had. She is willing to go the extra mile (literally) to take care of my cat. Jennifer called an Uber when her car had issues to make sure she was able to provide medication to my cat. Jennifer was always updating me on the situation, and was in constant communication with me. She made sure that the surrounding cat-related common areas (fountains, litter, feeder) were clean and ready for both cats that we have. I would, with no reservations, hire Jennifer again should the opportunity be available.”
“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”
About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.
“Alex did amazing job at taking care of my pet chinchilla!! She spent time playing with him and made sure my chinchilla’s cage was stock up in fresh hay, food, water and toys. 😊”

“My dog loves Kelli and her dogs! Kelli takes great care of him like her own pet. She updates me well and sends lots of fun pictures and videos. I know my puppy is in great hands!”
“June came to our rescue as we had an emergency and needed her last minute and saved us with watching pablo and her new fur friend Veloui! Thank you so much! SHE IS THE BEST!!!”

“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon. It was clear to us that she wanted Cinnamon to feel at home, and she eased Cinnamon very gently into an unfamiliar situation. Erena also shared pictures of Cinnamon with us during the day. We would gladly use Erena again!”
“Rhondarose is my “not so secret weapon” in navigating my day to day! She is flexible, responsible, caring, and an absolute gem. Clover loves being there with her and the pups, and it warms my heart to know that she is very well taken care of.”
About: I've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!
“Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!”
“Elina saved the day with a last minute daycare request while I was visiting my family for the Thanksgiving holiday. She is a very caring and responsible, even asking for updated vaccination records to ensure all dogs she watches are safe and healthy. She sent many pictures and videos throughout the day and Verzy really enjoyed playing with Chas. We'll definitely call again next time we're in town.”
“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”
“Maple absolutely loves staying with Carolyn. Coco ( a precious little Cockapoo) being there was a real bonus. They took several walks, and the two happy dogs played together all afternoon. Carolyn sent numerous pictures during Maple's stay with her. Thank you Carolyn we will definitely see you again!”
“Sana was the best sitter anyone can ask for their furbaby. She kept me informed throughout the day how my Simba was doing with videos and messages. I am beyond grateful for her attention to my Simba.”
“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

“We interviewed a few walkers on Rover, and Taylor was the one who stood out above the rest. She was much more clear and descriptive about her approach, her style of managing dogs, and her specific techniques. She is very organized, highly responsive, and I highly recommend her for your pets!”
“Natalie was great! She walked Robbie for one hour when I had a long day at work and took pictures and gave him water. Highly recommend Natalie! She is very easy to work with and took good care of my pup”
“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”
About: I’ve helped raise 5 different dogs since my childhood, caring for them from their challenging puppy stage into their senior years and every sweet moment between. I’ve also lived with a cat, and love the feline spirit too. I’m currently freelancing as a photographer, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am available throughout the work week and on weekends for walks or house sitting. I have a large back yard that is not fenced but I can go out with your dog and/or take them for walks for bathroom/enrichment time. The animal’s safety is my top priority, as is with my own dogs.
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.
“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”
“Chris is a dog lover! He is very caring, respectful, always prompt and helpful. My dogs love him. Mostly he just walks them, but on occasion has fed and walked them while I was away for the afternoon. Great communication about visits, dog behaviors etc. Great guy!”
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”
“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”

“Sheryl is amazing!!! We have a 90 lb lab, and she handled him beautifully! Browser had such an instant positive reaction to Sheryl that we knew she was the right person. Sheryl came same day with almost no notice - I had just gotten out of the hospital and needed someone to walk Browser. She is used to handling large dogs and it showed. Great communication skills, very personable. We will definitely continue to use Sheryl - what a great find!!”
