Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bowens
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“This was Scarlet's second time staying with Denise and her tail was wagging so hard when we arrived so I knew she was excited to be back. They sent photos every day and Scarlet came home happy and tired.”
“Liz took great care of my whippet, Aster. Liz communicated and sent pictures regularly. My dog will be going back to Liz's for a 2 week stay in March. I highly recommend Liz!”
“This was my first time using a boarding place for my 5 month old mini poodle who wasn't completely potty trained. My Dutch was really taken care. I will be using Anika again anytime I need a boarding place for him. Thanks”
“I cannot express enough gratitude towards La Tasha for her exceptional puppy sitting services for my beloved Ace. From the moment I handed over Ace to her, La Tasha went above and beyond to alleviate all my stress and worries. Her consistent updates, filled with adorable pics and videos of Ace, were not just reassuring but a testament to her dedication and care. Throughout the day, her messages kept me informed about Ace's well-being, which was incredibly comforting, especially since I was concerned about his eating and sleeping habits in my absence. La Tasha didn't just look after Ace; she treated him with the same love and attention as if he were her own, which speaks volumes about her character and passion for animals. I am immensely grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the peace of mind she provided me. Without a doubt, I will be turning to La Tasha's services again in the future. A heartfelt thank you, La Tasha, for everything.”
“Bobbi and her husband were FANTASTIC! I received many pictures & updates of my happy puppy during her stay there. She got lots of time playing outside in the park, and made great friends with Bobbi's dogs. I know she had a fun weekend. Peroni is only 4 months, so I was nervous she would be too much for someone else to handle right now, but she did great with Bobbi! Bobbi was very flexible and understanding with our pickup time too as we were delayed in heavy traffic getting back into Orlando. I highly recommend Bobbi & her husband.”
“Lori was amazing! Plenty of communication while Jake was there! Multiple pictures and videos daily! Jake was well cared for and got plenty of exercise! Will definitely be booking Jake with Lori for all our future travel!”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Lily was phenomenal! We felt so at ease throughout the entire process from meet-and-greet to pick-up. Her house is a dog’s dream vacation destination. She truly centers dogs’ well-being in everything she does, from the daily schedule to the layout of her home, you can tell she has dogsitting down to a science! Not to mention, she kept us updated throughout the day on how Stuart was doing, with both pictures & videos! Her attention to detail and organization is truly impeccable. I was so impressed throughout the week. We are so thankful to have such a trusted and reliable place for our dog Stuart to have the best time and most care whenever we’re away. Thank you 1 million, Lily! Would give you six stars if I could!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“Great communication the entire week we were out of town. Sent pictures & helped get our mostly unsocialized pup more comfortable around other dogs! Felt way more comfortable boarding our dog on a small scale like this versus a large company. Will definitely use Kelly again for any future boarding needs!”
“They were awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving our little pup! He had lots of friends to play with and they sent lots of great daily updates! 10/10!!!”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Tanita and Terrance were the best! My dog loved every moment he spent with them. They fostered a very safe environment and always communicated about my dog's well-being. I would definitely use them again ❤️”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received while staying with Monica. Having a virtual meeting was ideal for us to get to know Monica and for her to learn more about Bentley. This helped solidify that I made the right decision. From the moment I dropped Bentley off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. Throughout Bentley’s stay, I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear he were getting plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. When I picked him up, he was happy and had obviously been well cared for. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a reliable and loving place to board their dog. I will definitely be bringing Bentley back in the future!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”

“Thank you Vanessa for taking such great care of all of our kitties! I’m sure they will miss you. Great with the cats and made sure they were taken care of while we were away. Prompt with visits and sent lots of pics to us. ♥️ Definitely will use again!”
“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter for our 3 cats. She quickly learned what each one liked and appealed to each one's sensibilities. Ashley also shared many great photos, and generally went an extra step in every regard to make sure our pets were taking care of and our home remained tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was great with our two cats when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She took tons of photos and the cats really seemed to like her. We would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone! 😊”
About: I’ve lived in a multi-cat household for over 25 years and have cared for cats from a wide range of backgrounds, including shelter adoptions, strays, and cats who needed to be rehomed after losing their owners. I’m experienced with shy and senior cats, and I understand the patience and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter box habits—because small changes can matter with cats.
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, I’ve had them for as long as I can remember and currently care for five of my own. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of feline personalities, from social and playful to shy, independent, or anxious. I understand that cats need a different kind of care than dogs. I pay close attention to their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime/enrichment, and making sure their environment stays clean and low-stress. I’m also used to multi-cat households, so I understand dynamics like separate feeding, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers space, I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel secure while you’re away.
About: I've owned cats since I was 6 years old. Now as a vet assistant and cat mom of a furry friend with multiple health issues, I have learned how to truly speak cat, meet their needs in the least stressful way possible, and help them to feel the most comfortable they can be.
“Amanda was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was very attentive to all kitties, providing extra attention to a senior kitty. Followed feeding and cleaning instructions carefully. Very trustworthy and reliable.”
“Kendal was very prompt and made sure to give my animals plenty of attention. She also communicated with me of there were any issues. Highly recommend and will be requesting her services in the future.”

About: Hello there! My name is LeeAnn and I've been working with and caring for pets since I was about 11 years old. I had a small but regular set of house sitting clients through college but took a break with moving back and forth. I have worked in both pet retail and at a dog resort. I've worked alongside many groomers, trainers, and other wonderful people. My job is to make sure that your pets are well cared for, emotionally and physically, when you are not able to do so. I have no issues caring for any species of pet. Having two high-energy field Goldens I fully understand the importance of animals needing exercise. I'm working part time mornings so afternoon is my main playtime. I can come early for potty and breakfast and come back later for exercise/dinner/evening potties.

About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own!

I’m currently working part time due to school this upcoming semester. Most of my classes are online so I spend a lot of time at home. I make frequent stops at home during the work day as I’m only 10 minutes from home to let my dogs out of my parents aren’t home. I have an electric fence however dogs would be put on leash. My cats have all their necessities in my room so the pet I would be pet sitting for would stay in the guest bedroom in the basement with me to avoid troubles.
About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! Pet care fits beautifully into my current schedule. I’m seeking flexible work that keeps me close to home so I can care for my four cats and continue pursuing my passion for baking. My days are open and adaptable, and I love spending time with animals. I’m currently available most days and times, and I genuinely enjoy being outside for walks or tending to pets’ unique needs. This work is a natural extension of my lifestyle. I treat all pets like family, tuning into their needs with care and calm energy. Whether in my home or yours, I create a peaceful, loving environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, maintain clean spaces, and follow feeding or medication routines exactly. My four cats are well-loved and cared for, and I bring that same intention and presence to every animal I care for.
About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.
About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️
“Haley is great! She’s been walking my old Boxer boy every week for months now. She’s responsive, reliable, flexible. Most importantly, based on the adorable photos she sends, my dog adores her.”
“Hades loves Linda and he is very picky about people. Great communication and care with this silly boy. I feel at peace knowing Linda can handle my big boy. Looking forward to the next walk!”
About: Hi! As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone who will love your fur baby like their own. I’d love to spend time with your pups, give them lots of attention, belly rubs, walks, and all the love they deserve💗 I have a wonderful job working for the government & I am a mom to 3 amazing boys! Baseball season is coming to an end so I would love to fill some of my extra time on my lunch break or after school caring for your sweet fur babies 🐶 I have a friendly one year old lab that just adores other dogs and a extra large crate with blankets and a bed with plenty of toys and stuffed animals if need be
“Jake is conscientious, kind and obviously loves dogs. His detailed reports and photos kept me informed and I think the dogs really enjoyed his company. He’s a busy guy and I appreciate that he could fit us in this week! Will request him again in the future.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“This was Scarlet's second time staying with Denise and her tail was wagging so hard when we arrived so I knew she was excited to be back. They sent photos every day and Scarlet came home happy and tired.”
“Liz took great care of my whippet, Aster. Liz communicated and sent pictures regularly. My dog will be going back to Liz's for a 2 week stay in March. I highly recommend Liz!”
“Bobbi and her husband were FANTASTIC! I received many pictures & updates of my happy puppy during her stay there. She got lots of time playing outside in the park, and made great friends with Bobbi's dogs. I know she had a fun weekend. Peroni is only 4 months, so I was nervous she would be too much for someone else to handle right now, but she did great with Bobbi! Bobbi was very flexible and understanding with our pickup time too as we were delayed in heavy traffic getting back into Orlando. I highly recommend Bobbi & her husband.”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Lily was phenomenal! We felt so at ease throughout the entire process from meet-and-greet to pick-up. Her house is a dog’s dream vacation destination. She truly centers dogs’ well-being in everything she does, from the daily schedule to the layout of her home, you can tell she has dogsitting down to a science! Not to mention, she kept us updated throughout the day on how Stuart was doing, with both pictures & videos! Her attention to detail and organization is truly impeccable. I was so impressed throughout the week. We are so thankful to have such a trusted and reliable place for our dog Stuart to have the best time and most care whenever we’re away. Thank you 1 million, Lily! Would give you six stars if I could!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“Great communication the entire week we were out of town. Sent pictures & helped get our mostly unsocialized pup more comfortable around other dogs! Felt way more comfortable boarding our dog on a small scale like this versus a large company. Will definitely use Kelly again for any future boarding needs!”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Tanita and Terrance were the best! My dog loved every moment he spent with them. They fostered a very safe environment and always communicated about my dog's well-being. I would definitely use them again ❤️”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Bianca is very great with my doge and they are so comfortable with her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great sitter. I have used her on several occasions and never had a problem.”
“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“CiCi and Nick took such good care of my pup while we were traveling. They were very flexible and made sure everything went extremely smoothly. He instantly seemed right at home with them. They sent updates and photos everyday and from the goofy smile on his face it looked like he was having the time of his life. They had plenty of space for him to run around and he very quickly made friends with their adorable Dalmatian. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“This was our first visit with Stephanie and Blaze and it was great! Stephanie is quite welcoming and she has a very comfortable home, which Henry seemed to fit right in! I love it that she sent me photos, which reassured me that Henry was settling in well. We are already scheduled for 2 more visits!”
“Aleah was great with our senior pup. She sent photos and communicated wonderfully. The house is clean and dogs are super friendly! We will be booking again! Thanks again!”
