“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Rita and her fur-fam gave my boy the most wonderful vacation. She is not paid what she is worth - she knows dogs at an expert level, she loves them, her place is set up perfectly for a dog vacation. I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“We were a little nervous to leave Indy for a week, but our fears were immediately put to rest when we saw how wonderfully he was treated by Stacey and her family! Indy loved her fenced-in backyard and playing in the kiddie pool on the hot days! Indy and Stacey bonded quickly and we enjoyed the frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Most importantly, he was safe and happy and treated like family. Stacey is our new go-to pup sitter!”
“Bo and Aida were well cared for and seemed happy at pickup. Donnie sent pictures over the weekend so we could see how they were doing. Will definitely have our pups stay with Donnie in the future!”
“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is very anxious and has never stayed with anyone over night except for family. Rebecca let us visit twice before leaving Archie overnight so that he was able to meet not only Rebecca, but her husband and two children as well. This made all the difference for his and our comfort level! From the moment we connected, Rebecca and her family made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. Their home is warm, welcoming, and truly feels like a second home for pets. They treated our dog, Archie, like one of their own — with so much love, patience, and attention. We received thoughtful updates and photos daily that showed how happy and comfortable our dog was, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. What really sets Rebecca apart is how genuinely invested she is in the well-being of the dogs she cares for. She and her family paid attention to routines, personality quirks, and little details that made all the difference. It’s clear this isn’t just a service to them — it’s something they truly enjoy and take pride in. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for loving, responsible, and exceptional care. Five stars isn’t enough — they’re absolutely amazing!”
“We felt really comfortable leaving our skittish boy, Dingo, with Mike and Linda once we met them and saw that he was going to be doted on! We got almost daily pics and didn’t worry about a thing while we were on vacation. Dingo was reportedly loved by their grandchildren too over their Easter Sunday dinner so we weren’t too sure he’d even want to come back home with us but he did!! Highly recommend Mike & Linda! 🩷”
“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Salish was wonderful with our dogs and gave us constant updates. I was particularly worried about my younger dog who can be troublesome, but it ended up working out so well! They were so well taken care of, and my younger dog was the calmest I have seen her in a long time. Thanks, Salish!”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Julie took great care of Daisy for us while we went away on a trip over Thanksgiving. She kept us updated daily with photos and how she was doing. We would highly recommend Julie. She cared for Daisy exceptionally well :)”
“Mercis was fantastic! Very responsible and communicative—she took amazing care of our dog and sent awesome photos! We will definitely be sending our dog to board with her again!”
“Olympia had a great time as always! We really appreciate their attention to her allergies - when we told the she needed filtered water they said no problem and offered to take the shared water up, which was really considerate.”
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“Billy & Lori were wonderful! Their relaxed and welcoming home is a perfect place for pets- with the bonus of a lakefront location for dogs who like to swim (or just walk/wade- as our Danny Boy prefers). We will definitely try to book future vacays with them.”
“This was our second stay with Paul & Megan and I feel ever more grateful for them and the love they provide for our girl Nala. They take such great care of our girl, so extremely thoughtful. We got lots of pictures and videos of her days, which are full of enrichment activities and being around others and family. I felt fully informed of everything that was going on in such a positive and reassuring manner. We can really tell Nala loves spending her time here.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Left my 6-year-old golden retriever with Peter and family while on a 10-day vacation. Since I was going to be out of the country, wanted to make sure I found Cooper a safe and stable home. Cooper had a great stay and we were very happy with everything. Received lots of updates and pictures from Peter throughout the stay which was great. Peter has a nice backyard that also has a trail for walks so Cooper could get his exercise. I could tell when I picked the dog up that the whole family was involved in his care, which was great.”

“Leslie was amazing as always! This is our third time booking with her, and we will continue to do so in the future! She is very caring and attentive, so we know our cats are in good hands every time 😸”
“Michael took excellent care of our kitties as always! It gives us peace of mind knowing that we can rely on someone we trust to call on when going out of town and need pet care! We highly recommend Michael!”
“Chelsea took great care of our cat! She was kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. We loved the pictures she shared and felt that she did a great job. Thanks Chelsea!”
“Tawny provided great care to our senior cat, Katniss, while we were away! She was punctual and communication was always super easy. She even helped to bring in mail and water our house plants. But most importantly, Katniss seemed to really love her and we knew she appreciated the visits very much!”
“Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Jennifer! She took care of our cat, Hudson, while we were away, and she was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute changes. Her thoughtful updates were adorable and reassured us that Hudson was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make Hudson feel comfortable and at ease during our absence. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Rylee was very communicative. She sent photos of every visit with our cat. She also went above and beyond by doing things like bringing in packages and moving our garbage barrel after trash pickup days.”
“This is the second time we have relied on Michaela to take care of our two cats. They have really warmed up to her in such a short time. This allows us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they are in such good hands.”
About: I have experience caring for cats through various house-sitting jobs, as well as growing up with a couple of my own. I really enjoy their personalities—they’re independent, a little sassy, and tend to do their own thing, but still appreciate attention on their terms. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”
“Grace was amazing! My cat Samosa can be tough to love as she doesn't like people other than me but Samosa was in such good spirits when I got home. I got a photo every day, including where the key was left, and it was great knowing she was doing well while I was away. It made visiting Island stress free!”
About: I provide a calming, loving, playful and supportive experience for your fur-baby. Any special desires you have can be accommodated. Cats have been a staple in my house since I was child, sometimes many at once. They are more than just a pet, they are a family member!
“Catherine was amazing! On the meet and greet, my cats who are usually a bit shy went right up to her and wanted attention. Her check-ins were on time and she sent photos every time. I will definitely have her again.”

“Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!”
“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“This is our second time using Rover and it was such an awesome experience. We're looking for an in-home daycare and my puppy Houston had an absolute blast with Weihai, and the pups Igo and Kiwi. Houston can't wait to return - thank you!”
“Fae and Joseph were amazing. We had a meet and greet a few days before Cody went for daycare with them. Their facility is beautiful! Very accommodating for all kinds of dogs. Faye and Joseph are very warm and loving toward all the dogs that are there. Faye and Joseph were great about sending pictures and videos to update me on how Cody was doing for his first time stay with them. He loved it!”
“Jodi took great care of our 3-month-old Japanese Spitz puppy. She made sure not to put him together with dogs that may hurt him. He enjoyed playing with other dogs in her large fenced backyard.”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
About: I love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.
“Belinda took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates and pictures. Ollie is an anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely have him stay with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of various sizes/breeds and walks of life for 16 years now. I’m a caring individual and get along very well with animals! I’m currently self employed part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually make most days and times work well! Let me know and we can find something that works. I give lots of attention, care, and play time. I always make sure they go out as often as needed for the bathroom and walks!
“We have now left our boy with Jade a few times and Jade has been absolutely amazing with our pup! She is so caring and we know our boy is not the easiest, as loving as he is, and Jade always has good things to say which is all we can hope for! Thank you Jade. Looking forward to the next visit!”
“My dog has separation anxiety and Julia gives him the attention and love he needs to feel comfortable while I'm gone. I love that she has a fenced in yard so my dog can sniff around safely and enjoy the sunshine!”
“Dolev was very sweet with my anxious puppy. She asked a lot of good questions at the meet and greet- being thorough so both of our expectations could be met. The updates during his stay set my mind at ease.”
“Mirellys took wonderful care of Rosa and went above and beyond to make sure Rosa was comfortable during her stay. Mirellys also kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I'd definitely use her again in the future.”
“Donnie is amazing. Not only is he beyond accommodating with pick up and drop off times but more importantly he clearly has a passion for dogs and treats our pup like his own. He is gentle with the dogs, interactive, and helps out with any training questions we have. 110% recommend him to anybody looking for a sitter, or trainer.”
“Kristin and Bobby watched our dog with a last minute call when we were vacationing in the Boston area. When we took our dog in the morning they came out to meet us and made sure that our dog was comfortable with them and their home. Our dog took right to both them and their dog. During the day my dog was exercised, fed and played with. I was very happy with our experience and would highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Lindsay was great! She arrived on time, sent pictures during her visit and took great care of our puppy. We will definitely book again!”
“Ann Marie is the absolute best. She’s on time, completely reliable, and wonderful with our nervous Bernese Mountain Dog. She handles a big dog who pulls with ease and sticks to his routines. She sends updates and photos every walk, and has even worked on training with him above and beyond what we asked. HIGHLY recommend!”
“I just started with Laura a week ago. So far Laura and my dog are creating a wonderful bond. Laura is terrific! She is trustworthy, she has a key to my home. I love all the footage I receive whilst she’s with my large dog. I’m very impressed with Laura’s depth of knowledge in dog care. Also she is very humble in her personal accomplishments relating to human and animal communication and skills. I highly recommend Laura.”
“Kristen & Bobby are wonderful dog walkers, and human beings. Communication was great, especially with me being out of town for the duration of the time we had them walk Gary. They really love Gary and it showed: they spent lots of time with him and recorded all his poops and pees so we knew when he would need to go next. They even sent pictures to confirm the walk (and Gary was happy in all of them!). They were kind, and even made our six month old daughter laugh and smile. Very professional, on time, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommended to anyone.”
“I reached out to Hannah 24 hours before needing a dog walk and she stopped by to meet my dog Luna the day of. She was great with Luna and was timely and communicative on the day of the way. We will 100% use Hannah’s services again!”
“Jeanne is dependable and easy to work with. She is great a communicating through the app. When she is walking our puppy, we know he is in great hands! I highly reccomend her 🐾”
About: I have always had pets growing up. I currently have three cats and four dogs. I have experience watching both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets too! I am currently available most days of the week. I work part time nights at a restaurant. On the days I work I am still available to watch/walk your pets before and after my shift. I can watch your cats or dogs whenever I am needed. I have done lots of dog walking in the past and am comfortable with any kind of dog. I would be happy to play with your dogs outside, take them for walks, and even just keep them company.
“Alexandra is the best! Our excitable Havapoo is always very excited to see her. She calmly lets him do all his jumpy wiggles, and shortly he calms down and walks along with her. She shows up on time and keeps us posted about her schedule.”
“Jessica is great with our dogs!! She is always on time and gives our dogs the attention they need! I am very happy with Jessica and the care she gives our dogs!!”
“Sharon was amazing! She came over before we needed help with Fitz to meet him, and he loved her at first sight. She was communicative, quick to respond, and timely. I highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is so wonderful with my boys. She is great with communicating. Plus it’s all the little extra added care that she gives, treats when she comes in, wipes them down when wet, evening going as far as covering the couch so they wouldn’t make a mess. Couldn’t recommend more”
“So glad I found Michael he's an excellent dog walker - prompt, reliable, caring and great communicator. My dog who doesn't warm up to new people well warmed up to him immediately.”
“You can tell that Irene enjoys being around dogs, and she treats my dog like he was her own. If I go anywhere out of town or get tied up at work, she is the first one I will call.”
“So so happy to have stumbled upon Kamillye’s profile! She was so incredibly easy to work with and I love that she makes future bookings so easy with her website. She was very responsive, timely, and responsible. My puppy, Juneau, enjoyed his walk and his time with her. I’m pretty picky with who I allow around Juneau, just because he’s still a puppy and needs some training. But, I trust Kamillye. I already have my future walks booked with her, that’s how much I liked my experience with her thus far. Book it, you won’t be disappointed!”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.
“Catherine has been great with our 2 black labs the last couple of months. They get excited every time she comes to the door, because they know they're going for a nice walk. We are scheduled for 3 walks a week but with the holidays, snow days,and work from home days the schedule has fluctuated drastically. Catherine has been very accommodating. I highly recommend her services.”

“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is very anxious and has never stayed with anyone over night except for family. Rebecca let us visit twice before leaving Archie overnight so that he was able to meet not only Rebecca, but her husband and two children as well. This made all the difference for his and our comfort level! From the moment we connected, Rebecca and her family made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. Their home is warm, welcoming, and truly feels like a second home for pets. They treated our dog, Archie, like one of their own — with so much love, patience, and attention.

Five stars isn’t enough — they’re absolutely amazing!”
“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”

Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Left my 6-year-old golden retriever with Peter and family while on a 10-day vacation. Since I was going to be out of the country, wanted to make sure I found Cooper a safe and stable home. Cooper had a great stay and we were very happy with everything. Received lots of updates and pictures from Peter throughout the stay which was great. Peter has a nice backyard that also has a trail for walks so Cooper could get his exercise. I could tell when I picked the dog up that the whole family was involved in his care, which was great.”
“Michael and his family were great!! Our Golden Jaxson came home super happy!! He sent multiple update pics and was very responsive!! Felt so at ease Knowing Michael was caring for Jaxson! 🐾”
“Daniela took amazing care of Dobby while we were away. She sent great updates and from each picture and video it was easy to tell that Dobby was having a great time playing in the yard and hanging out with Daniela and her family. Glad Dobby was able to be with a safe and caring family while we were gone!”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Alyssa is amazing. She was literally a life saver on being so accommodative after one of our sitters canceling on us last minute. Definitely will be booking with her again”
“Thank you Irene for taking such care of my dog Bentley! She was very responsive, sent updates, and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. She was very thoughtful and put me at complete ease while I had plans! Thank you so much and look forward to booking with Irene again.”
“Holly spent a very fun week with Rob and his family during our vacation. Being able to play and socialize with other dogs for a week made it a vacation for her as well! I felt completely comfortable knowing that Holly was safe and well cared for.”
“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”
