“Sofia has a very energy that made my dog Gigi feel comfortable right away. She sent photo updates everyday which was great. I think Gigi also benefited from getting to spend some extended time with other dogs, which she rarely gets. So happy to find someone in the area that I can trust with my dog.”
“Kallie didn't want to come home! She was pampered beyond a doggie spa vacation. Tracey, Kevin, and family took amazing care of our sweet puppy. I highly recommend them for attentive and loving care of your dog. They were so amazing that we already requested two more future bookings.”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Ivan was the perfect pet sitter for our small 2 year old shichon, Kona. I was nervous, it being the first time we left him (over a full week!) Ivan was patient with my list of care and also set me at ease with a ton of pictures and updates. His home is lovely and his care is exceptional. I am surprised Kona was willing to come home!! I would use his services again anytime. Thank you!!”
“Wendy is our go-to every time when Leo needs to be taken care of. She’s responsive and trustworthy. Leo was happy and taken good care of every single time! Thank you Wendy!”
“Eveery is my Angel! She is one of the kindest people I Know. Booboo is t shy and not sociable dog, but when he stays with her, he is happy and enjoys. Thanks for everything you did for Booboo🙏”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dawn! She took such amazing care of my dog while I was away. From the updates with videos and photos she sent, I could tell my dog felt completely comfortable and loved. She was attentive, responsible, and truly treated my pup like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog — which says everything. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Xiao took very good care of Oso. Oso immediately became close with her, even during the meet and greet. Oso looked so excited to explore her home and backyard. lt was very clear Oso was loved and had a lot of fun. I will certainly book with Xiao in the future.”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“Chash, we can’t thank you enough for the attention and care you gave our pup this week! Tons of walks, play time and cuddles.. we couldn’t ask for anything more! We would HIGHLY recommend Chash to anyone that wants their fur baby to be well loved. We so appreciated all the daily updates and photos. And even sending our pup home with some sweet new treats, so thoughtful! Our dog Birdie can’t wait to stay with Chash again 💕”
“Jill and Sean were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gideon. They graciously agreed to a day trial run, which meant so much to us as we navigate some changes in his life. Since the passing of our older dog, Dino, Gideon has struggled with being separated from us and can become quite anxious at drop-off. Jill and Sean were incredibly patient, flexible, and comforting when Gideon became upset. They took the time to help him settle in and made him feel safe and cared for. Throughout his 7-hour stay, they sent thoughtful updates and photos that reassured us he was adjusting well and receiving lots of attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Gideon’s well-being and understood that every dog has unique needs. Their kindness and compassion gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you, Jill and Sean, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️”
“Another fun stay with Gail and Kris. They really took their time and put in great effort to give our dog a fun time despite the record heat. It shows how wonderful they are as hosts!”
“THANKS SO MUCH FOR CARING FOR LILO LIKE SHE WAS YOURS. You are so kind and professional. LILO enjoyed the long walks and late cuddles. She can’t wait to see you again 😏You have a gift with animals 👏”
“Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)”
“Carolina was fantastic with communicating updates and taking great care of Henry! He had a blast running around and playing with her dogs. Will definitely have him stay with her again in the future!”
“Pam and her daughter were so great with Pancho. They sent me many pictures and updates, it was obvious he was getting lots of love, attention and fun active time. Highly recommend and hopefully Pancho will get to pay another visit to their place!”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”

“Lauren was so sweet and took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. My cat is a bit standoffish to strangers, but when Lauren came over to meet her and get the house key my cat immediately walked over to her. My cat seemed happy and relaxed when we came home so I know she had a great time with Lauren. We will definitely be booking with her again if she is available!”
“Catherine was a great sitter with an abiding love for pets...having 2 cats and 2 dogs (plus a parrots!) were important factors for me. Sharing photos of my cat helped provide me with peace of mind while I was away on vacation!”
“Candice is top notch! If I could give her ten stars I would!!!! 💚 We always recommend her to people requiring their need of a pet sitter. She was very sincere and understanding about my concerns about leaving our furbabies/family members, in general. I am a pretty spastic cat mom, and Candice not only understood that, she put up with my lists I left for her. If you need a sitter please contact her, she has extensive experience dealing with pets of all kind, which is so reassuring and stress free. She not only gave us a piece of mind, but peace in general. I would not trust our babies with anyone else. It’s nice to go out of town, knowing your cats will not have any issues and that everything will be like you never left! Run, don’t walk to book Candice for your next pet sitter/nanny. We wish every pet sitter was like Candice, but that’s why she is so special to us and we were lucky enough to find her! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Ten stars!”

“Ms. Maisie is not an easy cat to bond with, but Sara manages to have her trust and willingness to play a bit. Also, Sara is able to handle Maisie's odd eating habits, such as eating 4 times a day, by dropping in physically twice a day as well as using a timed feeder for the in-between times. I don't worry about Maisie while Sara is watching over her, so I can enjoy my time away. It is comforting to know Ms Maisie is well cared for!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I realize how much they depend on us to care for them and nurture for them which is why i would like to extend my love for potato other families. I have another job unrelated to pets. I would like to work with pets to further my care. On my off days i would like to pet sit or dog walk. I am very gentle when it comes to caring for animals.

“Jessica was able to sit for us on short notice and took care of our fur babies during the holiday season. She was flexible, able to administer medicine and spent time playing with our cats to help de-stress them while we were away.”
“Yashelle took great care of our diabetic cat! Not everyone is comfortable giving injections, so we were lucky that she was available to give Caboose his insulin. We got lots of cute pictures, and our boy was happy and healthy when we got home. Thanks, Yashelle!”
“Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.”
“Don inspired immediate trust with his excellent level of communication and gentle approach with our cats. We have two ancient Bengals, one who requires meds, and because of his previous experience, I could relax and know she would get her meds. He sent us pics each day and we came home to happy cats and a clean house. We will definitely be using Don again when we go away!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two cats. She sent updates & wonderful photos of them playing. We were so grateful to have found a reliable and caring cat sitter. We would highly recommend Jennifer.”

“We recently starting using Sophia two times a week for day car and I am so glad we did. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and keeps you updated throughout the day with videos and pictures. My fur baby loves when we arrive and we will definitely continue to use Sophia for the foreseeable future.”
“I highly recommend Chash C.! They took wonderful care of my 16-year-old toy poodle and gave her the extra patience, attention, and love that an elderly dog needs. I was especially grateful that they were able to accommodate us on such short notice. Before her stay, they arranged a meet-and-greet so we could get to know each other and make sure our dogs would be a good fit. That thoughtful step immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my precious girl in their care. Throughout her stay, they sent pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for she was. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, and truly cares about your pet, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Chash C. again!”
“Sabina is an A++ Dog Professional!! She has taken excellent care of our complicated dog, listened carefully to our instructions, given him lots of love and walks, and been communicative through out. We will absolutely be coming back for more.”
About: I have a medium size calm dog Judo who loves the company of other dogs. I have been caring for my own dogs since 2014, and started Rover in 2018. I also foster dogs for local rescues and especially have experience with shy dogs that need help trusting people. Because of allergies, dogs are not allowed on furniture or in the bedroom. We only take one dog at a time to insure your lovely pup gets the attention they deserve. We only accept dogs that are fully house trained. Accidents happen, but please do not send your dog over if they already have urinary or digestive problems. Please understand that we only accept fully vaccinated dogs to protect the health of our resident dog. Before booking with us for the first time, we recommend a meet n greet to ensure a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. Potty breaks in the yard available throughout the day. Two walks a day with my dog and park visits on weekends. All interactions between dogs will be monitored. When I’m not around I will keep them separate in the first three days until I am confident that they get along. Food will be provided separately and toys will not be left around.
“This was my 1st time dropping off Gibbs at Jayendri’s place. We are preparing him for a longer stay. The 1st time went well. Plenty of pictures shared and Gibbs came back happy. Jayendri was good at communicating proactively with me during the stay.”
About: I have had pets in my family even before i was born, and ever since then my passion for animals has been nothing but strong. I currently have a dog, two indoor cats, and two outdoor cats. I love spending time with animals, learning their personalities, and forming a bond with them. I am very enthusiastic and can definitely keep your pet occupied, there are lots of pet toys around my home for them to enjoy, and some playmates too! I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open. I am available most days, especially weekdays. I am also more than willing to provide pet care services on Holidays. I have an acre of fenced in backyard, but have no problem leashing your dog if they could hop the fence. My dog is very friendly with other dogs his size, so he will be happy to play! Please be aware, we are not a 100% smoke-free household, however, we do keep smoking restricted to a single ventilated room that our pets (and yours) do not have access to.
“I worked with Huan for doggy day care while I was away for the day. She was very kind from the start and very responsive to messages and communication. I really appreciate how welcoming she was to both myself and my dog. She ensured that I was comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and made sure to understand any needs for my pup and any concerns I might have had. Was a great experience and I will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter!”
About: I am currently only accepting hypoallergenic dogs for boarding and doggy daycare! These include but are not limited to: Bichon, Poodles (or any doodle), Yorkies, Maltese, and Schnauzer. I own two dogs, one is a young Miniature Goldendoodle that I have had since she was a couple of months old, and the other is a senior Toy Poodle that I have had since she was 5 years old. I have 10 years of experience caring for animals and always research how to best care for the animal in question. I have 2 years of experience with professional pet sitting. I am currently a student living at home, so I have plenty of time to care for pets, especially since I care for my own. I am available most of the week, every week. My yard is unfenced; however, we do have a chicken-wire fence in the backyard for my own dog, who has plenty of space to run around and play. We have lots of toys for your fur baby, and a kind and playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate small dogs, but do not have large enough crates for large or medium dogs. If caring for your pet at your home, I can ensure your fur baby gets lots of playtime and walks.
“Sriju is a wonderful person. She gives fantastic care to my dog when Daisy stays on Wednesdays. I'm very happy to have found Sriju. I know my dog will be well cared for when I'm at work. 🐶🤗”
“The care our 6 mo.-old Golden puppy received for four days was superb. Tevie enjoyed long walks in the woods and playtime with Ivan's friendly dog, Sunny. Our pup was comfortable with Ivan and his friendly parents right away and the daily photos Ivan sent assured us of the quality care Tevie was consistently given. When my husband wasn't able to fit Tevie into his small car to bring her home, Ivan's dad kindly offered to drive her and her crate to our house. We greatly appreciated his offer to do this. I look forward to booking the next stay with Ivan. Glad I found him on Rover.com!”
“We were very satisfied with Kira’s pet sitting services. From the beginning, Kira demonstrated a strong understanding of animal care, which made us feel confident in her abilities. She was very welcoming to our dog and made him feel comfortable as soon as he arrived. When we returned to pick Scooter up, he was well cared for and very content. Kira had followed all of our instructions and let us know he was doing well. We would highly recommend Kira and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I was raised with dogs of all sizes (from pomeranian to Keeshond) and have crate-trained all of them. Because I work from home, the size of my yard and the privacy fence, I am the "go to" person to watch / board dogs for all of my friends. I have house-sat my friend's blind Rottweiler and energetic Pomsky at their home. I have cared for two Vizsla dogs (at the same time) in my home. I have also house-sat my friend's 3 pugs (in her home), two of which were seniors and needed medication and drops, while the third needed a wheelchair (rear 2 leg muscles had atrophied). Recently, I fostered a Vizsla-mix (about 60 lbs) "Bronson" who had been abused and lived in the kennel his whole life, I fell in love with him (foster fail) after only 7 days, during which I was able to teach him to walk in the house, jump in the car, wear a collar, walk on a leash, and basic commands. I have a 7-year-old Yorkie, Rascal, whom I trained to use the doggie door, respond to basic commands, and "ring the bell" to go outside (which he now uses when he is hungry!). Rascal has been socialized since he was a puppy so he is happy to share his single-family home and his 1 acre yard. So far, Rascal has gotten along with every dog (large or small, young or old) he has ever met, including at the dog park, during walks, etc. For when it is too hot or too cold outside, I made a small indoor space with astroturf (see photos) so our fur friends can feel like they are outside. I keep various toys for the pup's entertainment (and either wash or replace when needed). Outside, his friends enjoy dipping their toe beans (or standing in) the koi pond. For the super energetic larger breeds, I exercise them by playing fetch or frisbee in the yard and encourage them to run if possible, or whatever the owner allows me to use to make sure they get their daily exercise. The property has many trees allowing for many shady spots to roll around in the grass or chew their favorite toy. I treat your loved one like my own so they are always 100% supervised when playing, eating or even when lounging. I change their water several times a day and they always get filtered water. I work where they are and they are where I work. Overnight, I prefer that they sleep in my room so I can hear (I am a light sleeper) if they need something. If the owner prefers, I have a small crate (with custom pillow) and a medium crate available, if the pawrent prefers. I aim to maintain your little one's normal routine- morning bathroom relief, breakfast, afternoon potty break(s), physical exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day, dinner, and late night potty before going to bed. My number one priority is following your instructions "to the tee" because no one knows your pet better than you! Each dog has his or her own personality, likes and sidelines, fears, etc. For those doggies that do not like or get along with men or children, my mother and I are the only humans living in the home. When you drop off your pet, with your permission, I will give your little one, him/her various NEW toys for exercise and/or mental stimulation. For first-time clients, if s/he loves the toy(s), s/he can keep it/them as my gift to your baby to remember me by. On stays of 3 days or longer, with your permission, I will brush the coat (to remove dead skin cells and promote circulation) and follow it with a waterless shampoo rub down to keep your little one clean and fresh, followed by a second brushing. Rascal and I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. I have my own business so I set my own hours; when I do work, it is 100% remotely. Since I have a huge fenced in yard, I can let the dogs out as often as needed. On cooler days, I bring my laptop outside so that they can run around, take naps under the trees, chase the squirrels running along the top of the fence. Since I do not have children and am a home-body, I am available for boarding on weekends, weekdays and most holidays. In my home, I have an 8 foot privacy fence so there's no getting through that. I have a small crate with custom size pillow, and a medium plush crate in case your dog prefers to be crated at night. My yorkie has a very calm temperament and does not bark alot, I have yet to meet a dog that he does not like. When at someone else's home, I request that they write down all instructions, then tightly adhere to them. I ask a lot of questions to make sure both of us are on the same page. Most of all, I am very risk-averse - I am the type of owner who treats a dog as her child; I view myself as an "Au Pair" or "Nanny," and I hold the same standard of care for a dog as a human baby. I also like to keep the Owner updated with photos and videos since they are separated from their loved ones.
“Our primary sitter was unable to provide daycare for Buddy at the last minute. This left us in a jam since we were heading to ravens chiefs football game. I had little time to find another sitter and an hour drive to meet my party in Baltimore. Normally we always do a meet and greet but we were really in a tough spot. Lucky we were able to connect with Elisel she not only came to our rescue she was so easy to work with and handled a very dejected cockapoo who was really looking forward to spending the day with his pals at our normal sitters. She save my day and I highly recommend her. Thanks again”

“Lauren did an excellent job with being patient and waiting for Rocket to get comfortable with her. She was able to get him to go out and walk rather than staying in and sleeping which her prefers. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life and, for the first time, find myself without any pets. I have an abundance of ear scratches, belly rubs, and snuggles just waiting for pets who are missing their people.

We also have two children, 8 and 11, who both grew up with dogs and cats and are experienced and comfortable with both. Your pet will be the only one in our home, so they will get lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles! We have a big house that pets are free to explore and where they can make themselves at home. We also have an unfenced 3-acre backyard that connects to a path through the woods - your dog can enjoy a daily hike through the forest, smelling the many interesting smells and splashing in the creek if so desired. And we live on a cul-de-sac in a residential area perfect for safe neighborhood walks. If you are looking for someone who loves dogs and is responsible and loving to take care of your pups when you're not around, please reach out! Please note: 1. All dogs must be fully potty trained, neutered or spayed, vaccinated, and on flea and tick preventative. All pets must be comfortable with children. 2.

About: I have taken care of dogs for a few years now and decided I want to help those in need of a dog sitter and some training. I’m a nurse and work 3 days a week and looking to dog sit or walk on my days off. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can switch my days around if needed. I have an American Bully named Milo who is 10 months old. He loves meeting new dogs and is very friendly. I have a small fenced yard but I will take my puppy on walks at least 2-3 times a day. Because Milo is still a puppy having another dog will also help his energy levels.
“Mila LOVED her! Like immediately! Never seen her respond so nicely within seconds to a stranger before. She could clearly sense Leticia’s good energy :) I appreciated that Leticia was available to walk her on such short notice. Mila came back tired (a sign of success) and clearly had a good walk.”
“Payton did an amazing job walking our sweet Polly, even though Polly was hiding and reluctant to walk at first. We would recommend Payton to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!”
“Heidi was great with my babies. She communicated great. There was an issue with my address and it sent her to my old house. She was very understanding and went the extra mile to drive 30 minutes to my current house. You want a sitter like that. You should definitely book with Heidi.”

“Laura is amazing!!!! She walked my skittish labradoodle, and it was clear my dog was fully at ease with Laura. She was timely, communicated well, and sent photos. Would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Hired Brittany to walk/play with Mason during the workday (60 minutes). He had a blast and was relaxed and tired when he came back. Brittany was timely and efficient and sent pics/update when finished. Will be hiring Brittany again.”
“We’re so glad we found Alyssa. She was easy-going and stayed in great communication throughout, which meant a lot to us. Aoife and Klay can be a little particular and don’t always warm up to new people quickly, but Alyssa handled them effortlessly and they clearly adored her. It’s a relief to know they were in such good hands. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs then owned two blue heelers: one hearing and one deaf. Happy to take good care of your sweet doggies and that you can relax while you are away. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. I have a doggy door and a fenced yard, and nice trail for long walks. Will invite your doggie(s) as part of our routine and happy to walk more than once a day- will give attention and be sure your dog is happy and comfortable
“Sabina is friendly, caring, and energetic! She is great with dogs, and my pup had a fantastic time on his walk. He didn’t even look back as he left the house, was so excited to go with Sabina!”
“I only had Doc for a month before I needed a reliable and professional walker who I could trust. Marc is the perfect fit! Doc is skittish at times but he warmed up to Marc almost instantly. He's punctual and always sends a few pictures of the walk. I definitely recommend him!”
“I needed someone to come for a drop-in and watch on pretty short notice. Jessica responded very quickly and was willing to come over the very same day for a meet and greet. She was very sweet with our dog and he immediately liked her. On the day of the drop-in she came exactly on time, took Comet for a nice walk and made sure he had a full bowl of water before she left. Very happy with Jessica's service and look forward to booking her again.”

I have an acre of fenced in backyard, but have no problem leashing your dog if they could hop the fence. My dog is very friendly with other dogs his size, so he will be happy to play! Please be aware, we are not a 100% smoke-free household, however, we do keep smoking restricted to a single ventilated room that our pets (and yours) do not have access to.
About: I have a medium size calm dog Judo who loves the company of other dogs. I have been caring for my own dogs since 2014, and started Rover in 2018. I also foster dogs for local rescues and especially have experience with shy dogs that need help trusting people. Because of allergies, dogs are not allowed on furniture or in the bedroom. We only take one dog at a time to insure your lovely pup gets the attention they deserve. We only accept dogs that are fully house trained. Accidents happen, but please do not send your dog over if they already have urinary or digestive problems. Please understand that we only accept fully vaccinated dogs to protect the health of our resident dog. Before booking with us for the first time, we recommend a meet n greet to ensure a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. Potty breaks in the yard available throughout the day. Two walks a day with my dog and park visits on weekends. All interactions between dogs will be monitored. When I’m not around I will keep them separate in the first three days until I am confident that they get along. Food will be provided separately and toys will not be left around.

“Kallie didn't want to come home! She was pampered beyond a doggie spa vacation. Tracey, Kevin, and family took amazing care of our sweet puppy. I highly recommend them for attentive and loving care of your dog. They were so amazing that we already requested two more future bookings.”
“Eveery is my Angel! She is one of the kindest people I Know. Booboo is t shy and not sociable dog, but when he stays with her, he is happy and enjoys. Thanks for everything you did for Booboo🙏”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dawn! She took such amazing care of my dog while I was away. From the updates with videos and photos she sent, I could tell my dog felt completely comfortable and loved. She was attentive, responsible, and truly treated my pup like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog — which says everything. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Jill and Sean were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gideon. They graciously agreed to a day trial run, which meant so much to us as we navigate some changes in his life. Since the passing of our older dog, Dino, Gideon has struggled with being separated from us and can become quite anxious at drop-off. Jill and Sean were incredibly patient, flexible, and comforting when Gideon became upset. They took the time to help him settle in and made him feel safe and cared for. Throughout his 7-hour stay, they sent thoughtful updates and photos that reassured us he was adjusting well and receiving lots of attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Gideon’s well-being and understood that every dog has unique needs. Their kindness and compassion gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you, Jill and Sean, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️”
“THANKS SO MUCH FOR CARING FOR LILO LIKE SHE WAS YOURS. You are so kind and professional. LILO enjoyed the long walks and late cuddles. She can’t wait to see you again 😏You have a gift with animals 👏”
“Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)”
“Carolina was fantastic with communicating updates and taking great care of Henry! He had a blast running around and playing with her dogs. Will definitely have him stay with her again in the future!”
“She is amazing took care my pup like hers.She sent pictures was available when called.she has most things for the dogs she was responsive and my cash was happy the love is in that home!!!!!!!!!”
“Wenyan did an excellent job taking care of my dog Bella! She sent me updates about Bella's exercise, eating, and potty schedule every day, along with a bunch of pictures and videos of her playing, going on walks, and napping throughout the day. She responds super fast to messages as well! Wenyan also provided complementary brushing of Bella's coat after noticing she was shedding and had some dandruff, and did a great job of cleaning Bella's paws before I picked her up (she even carried Bella from the house into my car so her paws wouldn't get dirty!). Bella greatly enjoyed her time with Wenyan and Purple, and I will definitely be a repeat client if I am ever out of town in the future!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Sean and Eve were fantastic sitters. They continually sent me pictures of Rocky and kept me up to date. They even went above and beyond and gave Rocky a bath when he got into something smelly. I appreciate the care and love they showed my dog, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
“It was our first time with Marylee and I loved the fact that she took the time to get to know us and Cosmo. I felt confident leaving him for three days with her. Marylee was super communicative while we were gone and sent us photos twice a day which I loved receiving. He had such a great time and was taken such good care that I wasn’t sure he would want to come back (lol!). Marylee was also very accommodating and flexible as there was an unexpected schedule change we needed to make right before our date. She was very quick to respond which also made me feel confident. Cosmo is our third baby (after two human babies) and we felt so good leaving him in her care. Looking forward to him having more future stays with Marylee. Cosmo had an absolute ball. He was exhausted when he came back and slept for a whole day when he came back (lol!)”
“Andrea and Michael were wonderful hosts for our two dogs! Our lab is a bit introverted but they made her feel right at home and both dogs were very happy in the photos they sent and when we came for pickup. We had a last minute adjustment on our drop off time and they were wonderfully accommodating. I’m so grateful that they took such good care of our sweet girls!”
“Tatiana was amazing! Oreo had a great week under her care. Tatiana sent me pictures and videos every day to keep me updated. She has a very clean and pet friendly house. Thank you!”
“Mindy was so sweet and caring while I was on a trip for 3 days. She shared pictures of Toro daily that assured me Toro is having fun while I am gone. She was super responsive as well. Toro came home with a goody bag with some toys and even her paw print on canvas! The place was clean and organized where is safe for pups and I would love to recommend Mindy for your puppy!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
About: If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog the same way you do, you just found her. I’m a devoted dog owner who knows how hard it is to find a reliable, loving, and compassionate sitter. After struggling to find the right care for my own huskies, I decided to become the kind of sitter I would trust with my own dogs. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, often caring for multiple dogs at once. Animals have always been naturally drawn to me, and I believe that comes from the genuine love and calm energy I bring to them. Today, I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. I have a cozy, fully fenced backyard and a calm home environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. I share my home with my two friendly huskies. I walk them several times a day, and if your dog is comfortable, we can walk them together. If not, I’m happy to walk them separately to respect their needs. Dogs are not allowed on beds, but they are welcome on the couch. There are multiple dog beds around the house, along with plenty of toys and enrichment. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are spayed or neutered, and I require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure all dogs are a good fit. For safety reasons, I do not accept dogs with active health issues, as I want to ensure every pet in my care receives the attention they deserve within my level of expertise. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for. There will be walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love. 🐾 I work from home full time and run my own business, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment. I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door that allows dogs to go in and out freely, giving them autonomy while still being supervised. My home is set up with multiple dog beds, toys, and enrichment options to keep dogs comfortable and engaged. I have two friendly huskies, and I always prioritize safe introductions. I require a meet and greet beforehand to ensure all dogs are a good fit and comfortable together. Dogs are supervised at all times, and I follow each pet’s routine closely. If needed, I can separate dogs for feeding, rest, or walks to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a stress free, structured, and loving environment where your dog feels at home.
