“Highly recommend! Michael is very professional and easy to work with. Our labradoodle enjoyed his time at Caesar’s Home and came home calm/happy after playing with his new friends all week. We will definitely stay again!”

“Melissa was great - frequent communication and clearly very happy pups in her care. This was our first Rover experience and we were so pleased. A happy, tired dog at the end of a long weekend is the best”

“I went through 4 pet sitters, and Sue is the best pet sitter out of those 4, she send pics to us every day while we on vacation so we don’t feel like missing our pet at the same time make us worryless, we definitely come back to her when we are on vacation again”

“Would highly recommend her. I left my dog with her for 10 days initially than extended to 12 days. She is prompt on responses and accommodating any special request. I am definitely going back to her”

“We had a wonderful experience with Vignesh from the start. He took excellent care of Olive and was very attentive to her needs. When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”

“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”

“Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.”

“Roxy had a wonderful stay with Jacquie and her family and pups! She clearly got a lot of attention and snuggles, walks in the woods, and yummy treats. Jacquie had clear and frequent communication and sent us pics. We would absolutely stay again :)”

“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”

“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”

“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”

“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”

“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”

“Svetlana was really great with my 4year old cockerpoo. She was responsive to my inquiry, met up with us for a meet & greet, and seemed to really enjoy hosting my pooch. We’re all in for our next visit ! 🐾🐾”

“Ann was awesome! Even with a tricky apartment situation, she was a great sport and very positive. She gave updates of Bean while we were gone (our first trip without her), and was very communicative over text if I wanted updates during her visit. Will definitely be booking her again!! Thank you so much Ann!!!”


“We have an eldery cat that needs a lot of tlc and maintenance. Tina did an excellent job of taking care of him and a few small aquarium pets for a week while we were away she sent us daily updates and went above and beyond for him. It was a great stress relief knowing he was being well taken care of. We are very appreciative of her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services and we will most certainly hire her again when the need arises.”

“Pat has been incredibly flexible, nice and patient!! My cat absolutely loved her stay and the love she got from Pat! I was so worried at first about her adjusting to a new place but she ended up loving being with Pat so much that when i picked her up she was treating her house as it if it was her own😂 She also became super comfortable around Pat in an incredibly fast period, which tells me she really trusted her!!”

“We were very happy with Kayla’s service of our two cats while we were away for four days in San Diego. She arrived on the agreed upon times on the dot, she was very communicative with us throughout the duration of our trip—including sending pictures which put us at ease—and she was extremely flexible and accommodating to one of our cats who tends hide from unknown people who come into the house. Kayla is extremely warm and cheerful. We hope to work with her again to check in on our two boys. Kayla made it possible for us to relax and enjoy our trip while we were away.”


About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic and owned some pets, so I'm genuinely comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own.

“Rebecka was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and attentive to my cat while we were out of town - she gave her so much love and playtime, gave really awesome update notes, and checked in about her bathroom habits when some anxiety kept her from using her litter box the first day (just a show of how considerate and thorough she is). She also vacuumed when my cat made a mess in the litter box- so not necessary, but really sweet! I would absolutely recommend Rebecka to anyone looking for a Rover sitter and will definitely be contacting her again for future cat sitting. Thank you!!”


“Michelle went above and beyond during her drop-ins, not just making sure my fur babies were fed and spoiled for atrention, but also helping me out with situations in the apartment where I was not there to handle it on my own. Thank you so much!!”

“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”


“Eko and Sarah were amazing! We have very shy kitties and by the end of two weeks they had the kitties eating out of their hands and totally comfortable. Eko and Sarah were communicative and gave great updates on the cats while we were away. We will absolutely trust our kitties with them again the next time we go away!”

“John did a great job house sitting and caring for our two cats, Cleo and Pico. He kept us updated with messages and photos, and we came home to happy cats and a spotless house. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thanks John!”


“Amanda was great! Our cats were well looked after and our house was left in good condition. She sent photos and updates to let us know how things were going. Looking forward to having her take care of our kitties again.”


About: As a lifelong cat owner, I understand that cats are creatures of habit and thrive on consistency. I know how to read feline body language, whether they want a dedicated play session, some quiet companionship, or just prefer their independence and space respected. I am highly attentive to the details that matter to cat parents: keeping a strict feeding routine, ensuring water bowls are fresh, and maintaining a completely pristine litter box. I am incredibly reliable and will always provide thorough text updates and photos during my visits so you can rest easy knowing your cat is happy and comfortable.

“This is the second time I've used Michael to watch my two pups, Kyro and Champ. He was always available and consistently sent me pictures and videos. He took great care of them and kept me updated with everything!”

“Another great day for Nina with Melissa. I recommend her to all my friends and family. Our dog comes home so happy and tired. Thank you Melissa! We think you’re the best!”

“Andreana was very kind and easy to communicate with. She made sure my dog was comfortable and that everything about the experience was to my convenience. I would definitely come to her again and recommend her to others!”

“Jacky took very good care of our puppy Tucker! He is 3 months old and she was so kind, patient, loving. We are so appreciative that he was able to hangout with her dogs, roam around the yard, and have a nap time buddy! Jacky was great with food, walks, communication. We are so appreciative to have found her!!”

About: I have been taking care of the dogs and cats since I was a very young, the age of 14 and I absolutely love animals. I’m home full-time. So taking care of your pet with love cuddles is no problem i have a large yard and part of it fully fenced in. I do have security cameras inside and outside to protect all animals in my home. I am very good about sending lots of updates so you can see your pet having lots of fun. I pride myself on being a home away from home! I’m full time at home so i have nothing but time to spend hanging out, playing and spoiling your pet when you are away! I love being outside I have a big house they can come in to cool off or warm up depending on weather. I have a large yard mostly fenced and a smaller area fully fenced.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!”

“Our new puppy had a fantastic day with Amy and her other dogs as well!! He came home happy and exhausted!! I was lucky to find her so quickly and for her to be so quick to respond to my last minute need for her!! We will continue with Amy and I know just from day one Jack was wicked happy!! So that means we are!! Woot Woot!!”

“My 6 month old puppy seemed to have a very good day with Erinn and her dog. He was nicely tired out from walks and playtime. Erinn is kind and flexible with you or your dogs needs. And I love that she works with a vet. That says a lot about her knowledge of and love for pets.”
“Molly is so great with our standard poodle puppy! He’s always super excited to get to her house and tired and happy when he gets back home. Molly is very communicative — sharing pictures and updates during the day and letting us know how everything went when we pick him up. We’re so glad to have found Molly and would absolutely recommend her to other dog owners!”

“My puppy has been traveling with me a few months now and after using several sitters here on Rover, i can confidently say Katheryn is absolutely amazing and among the best of the best. She was a pleasure communicating with and once your pup is in her care, she goes above and beyond keeping you informed on literally EVERYTHING via text, photos and videos. She asked questions when she needed clarification on feeding schedules and supplied a harness after I forgot to pack one in Myla's bag. She even offered the harness for Myla to keep when she thought she didn't have one. If you want absolute peace of mind in knowing your dog is being cared after, exercised and in competent and loving hands, Katheryn is it. Myla is a 7 Ib., 4 month old puppy and I left her with Katheryn and her very sweet, significantly larger 20 lb. dog and found them both to be the best company for her the entire day while I was skiing in Massachusetts. I cannot say enough here, but Katheryn's level of care and attention here on Rover is bar none and I would absolutely use her services again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”

About: In my house or yours! What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop-off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I work from home most days of the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for regular care as well as occasional bookings and will always do my best to work around your pet’s routine. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’m respectful of your home and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications if needed, and any other specific needs your pet has.
“Brenda clearly loves dogs! She was very attentive to Bailey throughout the day. We received several photos and notes about their activity. And Bailey clearly enjoyed his time with Brenda.”

“Ann was super flexible and responded right away. She took my boy out for an evening walk and sent pics when she was out. It was just the help I needed after having surgery on my foot so I am so grateful to her! Will use her again for sure!”

“Leia had a wonderful walk with Pat. Pat showed up promptly and checked in to make sure everything was okay before the walk. Pat walked her down the road and gave Leia some much needed exercise. Leia had met her previously a while back and took to her immediately again on the adventure of her walk exploring all the scents and sights along the way. It was a cold afternoon but Leia's favorite type of weather with dry ground and flurries in the air and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to get out on a Sunday afternoon after she had been alone all morning. Pat Tolerated Leia's little quirks of being anxious with new experiences and it all worked out beautifully. Leia and I are both looking forward to another walk for her in the future.”


About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”

About: I’ve had several pets all growing up, ranging from turtles, to birds, to dogs! I have had 5+ dogs that I’ve owned throughout my life! My friends and family go to me to walk/take care of their pets and/or give them advice about them. I am currently free during all time of the day! I have open availability for all week days, and could potentially be available some weekends as well. I will walk your dog for however long you need me to. I have no problem with long walks and lots of exercise as I’m usually in the gym about 5 days a week, leading me to be pretty fit and diligent for things like that. I will make sure your pet uses the bathroom, gets all its energy out, and is happy!
“Gabriela was excellent! She was very responsive and our pup was in great hands with her! Our 7 month old puppy had a blast on her walk and we will certainly reach out to Gabriela in the future”

About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.
About: From social to skiddish, cuddly to aggressive, I really have a soft spot for any kitty I’ve gotten to know and taking care of them is second nature to me. Most recently, I’ve lived with a very sweet and very spicy cat Sasha, so patience has been key! For the past few years, I have taken care of an incredible golden retriever named Frieda in Southern Vermont. She is nearly 13— we go on twice-daily walks, I brush and trim her long fur, and I make sure she's comfortable around her two kitty relatives in the house. I will be happy to provide this care for your dogs as well, meeting them where they are at in terms of walking, socializing, and other kinds of care I can provide. I am new to Worcester and beginning a graduate school program at MCPHS. I have both remote and in-person classes, but will have ample time everyday to make room for cat care! I am extremely patient when it comes to pet care and I know that it may take time for your pets to warm up to me. I have a warm and gentle presence that will make your kitties and pups and other pets feel safe and comfortable. Much of my pet-sitting in past years has included house-sitting as well, so rest assured that your home is in good hands.

About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic, owned some pets, so I'm comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can build my day around a pet's routine: walks, feeding, and medication times, rather than fitting them around mine. Consistency and presence are important to me, especially for animals who do best with a steady routine. I adjust care to each pet's comfort and energy level, including 30 minutes of fetch in a fenced yard, 30- to 45-minute leashed walks, or a leashed hike if they're up for it (if the weather permits). I stay attentive to their routine and needs throughout our time together, and I also offer baths or nail trims for an additional $20 if you'd like.

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast.

From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets.

Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes.

With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves.

“Justin is the best dog walker I’ve had for my little Gia. She is American Pitbull Terrior who is so playful happy and sweet he helps get her energy out during the day while I’m at work. She does pull a little on the leash but Justin is really good about working with her on not pulling and a plus, he teaches her cool little tricks!! I would def recommend him to walk your dog!!”

“Highly recommend! Michael is very professional and easy to work with. Our labradoodle enjoyed his time at Caesar’s Home and came home calm/happy after playing with his new friends all week. We will definitely stay again!”

“Andreana is very personable and clearly loves dogs. My Pippa enjoyed the time spent going for walks and playing with her new bestie, Milo. Andreanna has the energy and outlook to keep up with these active pups! I know my girl was well cared for while I was away.”

“Melissa was great - frequent communication and clearly very happy pups in her care. This was our first Rover experience and we were so pleased. A happy, tired dog at the end of a long weekend is the best”

“Would highly recommend her. I left my dog with her for 10 days initially than extended to 12 days. She is prompt on responses and accommodating any special request. I am definitely going back to her”

“We are SO thankful to have found Briana and her family! Winston has played at her house for daycare and just recently stayed with her for a week. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent everyday and have no doubt he had lots of fun playing with his doggy friends and being loved by Briana and her family! If you need a loving home away from home for your doggy, don’t hesitate to contact Briana!”

“Pat was kind, communicative, and was easy to work with. We have a timid rescue with peculiar needs and triggers, and she put in the effort to put our dog and us at ease. We appreciated the pictures with updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Vignesh from the start. He took excellent care of Olive and was very attentive to her needs. When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”

“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”

“Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.”

“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to birds, guinea pigs, and more—so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. In my home, every pet is treated like family, with lots of love, attention, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I also keep owners updated by sending photos throughout the day, so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, comfortable, and truly at home. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, attention, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need while staying with me. I provide a safe, clean, loving, and comfortable home where every pet is treated like part of my family. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to play and explore. I always supervise the pets, provide a calm environment, and follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions from their owner.
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”

“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”


“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”

“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
