“Piero took great care of our two dogs during our two-week vacation! He provided photo and video updates and was flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Both dogs were happy and healthy at the end of their stay. We’d happily leave them with Piero again in the future!”

About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. My whole family have them as family members. I adopted Colby, a mini poodle, 13 years ago and he recently passed on Mar 7, 2026 due to oral cancer one month before he turned 14 yr-old. I will board ONE NON-SHEDDING dog at a time so I can spend quality time with that dog ☺️ I would love help dog owners to walk, play, and love their dogs while they cannot and get some dog love for myself. I miss my dog tremendously so I am not ready to have another. Let me take care and play with your dogs and make them happy ☺️ I work full-time remotely. I can customize my schedule to fit your needs as long as I am given a notice to adjust (I set my work schedule a week in advanced every monday). I love taking a long walk when the weather permit. 😁 Whatever your dog accustomed to, I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom condo right now. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your dog.

“Sophia is the best! Finding Sophia on Rover made our travels much more enjoyable, because we knew our dog was getting the best care! Our dog was excited to return to Sophia's and came home calm and rested. Thank you so much Sophia! :)”

“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!”

“Chris is an amazing dog sitter! I had such a great experience with Chris! He is so nice, friendly, and truly cares about the pets he watches. While I was on vacation, he sent me videos and photos of my dog Isabella, which gave me such peace of mind. Chris took excellent care of her, and when I picked her up she looked happy, relaxed, and refreshed. I will definitely use his services again for dog sitting — he’s amazing! Thanks again Chris!”

“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”

“We are so grateful to Pam! She treated Mikko incredibly well. And he played with toys for one of the first times (he’s a rescue and an older dog so this was amazing). His food has multiple steps to it and she was very detail oriented regarding this. Thank you again Pam!! 💌”

“Marissa and her son were wonderful! They took us on as a last minute sit job and saved our weekend. She was so friendly and kind and laid back. Her energy is what I loved for my dog, because we are training for calm and chill and that’s what she came off as being. She was flexible and her dog got along great with my dog. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pup with her and this was our first time using a pet sitter. I highly recommend Marissa and if ever in town again will call her up.”

“Carlos was communicative and attentive and gave us photo updates of our Dog while there. Our dog enjoyed playing with some of the other dogs that were there and enjoyed the large yard.”

“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”

“Ivan is awesome taking care of my dog, Truffle. He sent me update pictures daily. Truffle has amazing time with lvan and his family including Sunny. She enjoys beautiful backyard and walking in the forest. Definitely recommended Ivan.”

“Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”

“This was our first time using Rover. We got daily updates and pictures. Our dog had a great time. The entire process was seamless from drop off to pick up. Will definitely be using Iwona again in the future!!!”

“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”


“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”

“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Rachel is just wonderful. Very caring and sweet with my cat and always sends me pictures and detailed reports. I travel with a different peace of mind when she is with Mina. My cat loves her so much that she waits for her at the window!”


“My cat really enjoyed spending time with Heather and warmed up to her quickly! Heather gave great descriptions and sent cute photos daily. Will definitely rebook next time I travel!”


“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my two cats while I was away on my honeymoon. I never like to leave them and they can be a bit shy around new people so I was understandably a little worried about traveling but from the moment I met Jessica, I knew they would be in great hands - and I could not have been more right! My cats who are shy with new people, immediately came over to her and loved her, following her around as she fed them and engaged with them. She was so communicative, which put my mind totally at ease knowing my girls were being so well looked after. She truly went above and beyond, and I know who I will be reaching out to should I need a pet sitter in the future! Thanks so much, Jessica! Snacks and Roo say thanks too!!”


“Brianne was yet again a great help to my cat Luna and I during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was always a treat to receive her high-quality photos of Luna each day. I could also tell when I arrived home that Luna had enough care and company to keep her very happy while I was away. I highly recommend Brianne to anyone in North Bethesda or Rockville who needs a petsitter :)”

“Catherine recently watched our senior cat for an extended period. She did an excellent job providing detailed daily updates. We were so happy kitty was well cared for.”

“This is the second time William and Andrea have watched my cat Gidget. They were communicative, accommodating, and took care of Gidget like she was their own.”


“Andrew did a great job taking care of our our two cats! He followed our instructions and contacted me to let me know the litter robot looked like it was having an issue. He was very helpful and we will definitely ask him to watch our pets again.”


“Lingshan is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just toward pets, but in everything she does. My cat seemed comfortable and well cared for the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind during my vacation. What truly stood out was how she went above and beyond: she even helped me quickly access important information from a time-sensitive delivery while I was traveling. That level of thoughtfulness and trustworthiness is rare. If you’re looking for someone responsible, dependable, and truly compassionate, I highly recommend her. I would absolutely book with her again.”


“Tori was lovely! Very communicative, did each step I requested and documented with pictures! My cat can be a little wary but Tori was even able to coax her out to socialize a bit. Will definitely book again!”

“Ildiko was amazing! I went away for a week and she came by to check on my cat Juju. Juju usually hides from strangers but Ildiko was very patient and eventually got lots of affection from Juju! I will definitely try to use Ildiko again in the future!!”

“Xin is amazing, she bonded with our cat immediately and took great care of her. She has a special way of connecting with pets. We’ll be using her moving forward. Totally recommend!”


“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”


About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little. I had several of my own, and have helped others. I’ve helped with a lot of different breeds and different ages. I’ve also taken care of outside/inside cats as well.
“We love Amy! Suki and her are friends now, and we feel comfortable leaving Suki in her care. Amy has been so helpful! This is our second time booking with her, and we will definitely reach out again when we travel. I’m sure Suki will be happy to see her!”

“Beth not only took care of my adult cat, but I had acquired 2 new kittens...more litter boxes and scooping! The pictures she sends after each visit are great! I know they are well taken care of! Thanks Beth.”


About: Having owned and cared for multiple cats throughout my life, I’ve learned that no two cats are alike. From playful and affectionate cats to shy, independent, and senior cats, I understand the importance of adapting my care to each cat’s unique personality and routine. I am experienced with daily cat care tasks, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and administering oral medications when needed. I take the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace, whether that means engaging in playtime, providing companionship, or simply respecting their space. My goal is to ensure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away.

“Cecilia was great ! very responsive and committed, she genuinely cared about taking good care of our cat, and my shy cat warmed up to her. Would definitely recommend and book her services again when needed.”

“I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!”

About: My priority is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home- even when you’re not. I have more than 5 years of experience in pet grooming services, and I also have basic obedience training dog skills I work part time as a dog/cat groomer from monday to friday so basically i have the rest of my time to take care of your lovely friend and also my wife is a pet groomer too but she stay at home with my kids i have a fenced back yard for your pups for pee and poo. they can stay free inside the house unless you want them to be in his/her crate
“Huey took such great care of my pupper Winky, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Winky can be super shy at first, so I always get nervous leaving him with someone new, but he got comfortable with Huey so quickly it was amazing! She has two super friendly dogs of her own(a little bichon and a corgi), and they got along so well with Winky which is awesome. She also sent me updates and photos during the stay and it looked like he was completely relaxed and having the best time. I also added on grooming during his stay, since she’s also a home based groomer and did such an amazing job(she told me she has 20 years of grooming experience!!) Winky came home looking so clean and adorable with the cutest haircut! You can really tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I’d absolutely book with Huey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and caring for their pup!”

“Krista and Roger are our wonderful neighbors, and we recently started using them for occasional daycare for our dog, Grover. Grover loves spending time with Shyloh and their whole family. Krista’s incredibly responsive to my requests and any questions I have. We know Grover’s safe and loved when he visits Krista and Roger’s home!”


“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover, and many of my friends trust me to care for their pets whenever they travel. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and more, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet loves social interaction or prefers a quiet and peaceful environment, I can easily accommodate their needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly townhouse with plenty of room for pets to relax and play. My community has its own dog park, and there are also two large public parks nearby for walks and outdoor activities. I keep toys, cozy furniture, and a comfortable environment to help pets feel safe and at home. To make sure every pet receives my full attention and care, I only accept one household’s pets at a time. Your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and lots of love while they’re with me. Peace, love, freedom, and equality for all — including our furry friends ❤️ As I am currently working from home with a nice work and life balance, I can take care of pets all the time. I love to play with pets as a break from my work as well. I love to take of care of pets and to play with them. My home space is enough to play, and I can also take them out for a walk in an apartment park or in a public park. Pets can play by themselves or play with other pets of my friends.
About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. My whole family have them as family members. I adopted Colby, a mini poodle, 13 years ago and he recently passed on Mar 7, 2026 due to oral cancer one month before he turned 14 yr-old. I will board ONE NON-SHEDDING dog at a time so I can spend quality time with that dog ☺️ I would love help dog owners to walk, play, and love their dogs while they cannot and get some dog love for myself. I miss my dog tremendously so I am not ready to have another. Let me take care and play with your dogs and make them happy ☺️ I work full-time remotely. I can customize my schedule to fit your needs as long as I am given a notice to adjust (I set my work schedule a week in advanced every monday). I love taking a long walk when the weather permit. 😁 Whatever your dog accustomed to, I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom condo right now. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your dog.
“Bandit had a blast today spending the day with Nicole, playing with her dog Bobby and another neighborhood dog Lychee. He enjoyed the view from her place, had lots of play time but also cuddle time on the couch! Nicole sent regular updates with pictures and videos. I will definitely book her again!”

“My dog, Teddy, adores Polina! They go for walks, have fun playing, and Polina takes great care so I never worry. She is our go-to dog sitter and we are very lucky to have her. Polina is the best! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: Hi! I’m a part-time human nurse (RN) and former Veterinary Nurse, now working remotely M-F so I can be home with your pets all day. I can provide specialized care and administer medications such as insulin if needed. I also have experience with dogs/puppies of my own and can assist with some basic obedience training. I also love pet photography and will try to send some great photos with every visit! I work from home with some availability most days and hours each week. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have a need when I’m not listed as available and I might be able to accommodate you. I believe pets thrive with limited disruptions to their usual comforts and schedules. I will follow your instructions to make their life as close to what they are used to with you!
“Sriju is a very kind person. She is attentive to my dog, Daisy, when she stays for the day. Daisy loves staying with her. I will continue to keep bringing my dog to stay with Sriju🐶🥰”

“Huan was such great help taking care of my dog for 3 days. She was very communicative about his day and always sending me pics and videos of his day. Will totally recommend her as a pet sitter and I am sure we will be coming back again :).”

“Rong took wonderful care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease. She sent me regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. I’m so grateful for the loving and attentive care—highly recommend!”

“I called Ekaterina when my regular dog sitter was not available. She quickly set up a meet and greet and was able to accommodate our schedule. She and Cenk live with two sweet and bouncy dogs. It didn't take too long for the dogs to accept Loki, and they all got plenty of exercise chasing each other around. They also went for walks to a local park several times a day. I asked for a photo, which Ekaterina sent each day. Although Ekaterina would have fed Loki with their food, I brought Loki's diet which they had no trouble following. Ekaterina and Cenk are obviously dog lovers, as am I. A shy or retiring dog may have a different experience than Loki did. To be fair, I don't have enough experience seeing Ekaterina with all different kinds of dogs to know for certain. Both Ekaterina and Cenk are clearly good people. I would use them again.”

“I cannot recommend Jessica enough! She was fantastic with our two older dogs! It was the first time we left them with someone other than a friend, so I was a bit concerned as to whether our little dog (who is very skittish) would warm up to Jessica. I was also concerned because our bigger dog has a lot of medical issues (including mobility problems). Jessica was phenomenal. She arranged some time to come by and meet them and us beforehand. She asked really detailed questions - which let me know she was tuned into their care. She gave great updates on her visits and sent photos, too. Her updates let me know how well she was getting to know their unique quirks and personalities. She kept in touch with everything that came up - and even suggested some things to make our bigger dog more comfortable. I was blown away by the care she gave to our girls! Her thoughtfulness erased my concerns about how the dogs were doing while we were gone. I was able to relax and have a worry-free trip. And our little dog was giving her kisses and greeting her at the door after only a couple of visits! If we travel again without the dogs, I wouldn't want anyone else to care for our girls.”

“Victor is great with my dog Marcie! She can sometimes be wary of strangers but she liked him immediately. He is very conscientious and kind. Victor will take good care of your pets.”
About: I’ve had two dogs, and currently have one at home. I have trained both of these puppies, and with new pets I am not afraid to ask questions or accommodate to your pets’ needs. I am a full-time student, but I am looking for hobbies. I currently live at home so I have a flexible schedule. I already walk my own dog, so getting some more exercise in never hurts. I’d prefer to meet the pets beforehand so that they are comfortable with me. I want to let dogs get the most stimulation out of their walk by letting them sniff a lot.
“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.”

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs; while I’ve only ever owned cats, I love to be around dogs any chance I get! I love both animals! I am a paraeducator on summer break right now so my schedule is very open! Hoping to fill my summer with many sweet furr babies:) I prioritize the animal’s health, safety, and well-being by sticking to the instructions left by the owner, and depending on the dog’s preference I will either play with them all day, or sit with them quietly and give them attention. No matter what kind of personality your dog has, I will accommodate them to the best of my ability and only show them tenderness and love as they deserve.
“Ildiko is great. She cares about my dogs and even sent pics from their walk. I definitely plan to book her for more walks (as well as other services I might need) and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Ben, was excellent in the service he delivered. My dog had a lot on f anxiety of me not being around and Ben took the time to make him feel comfortable in the house and within a Few days my dog took a liking to Ben. Thanks so much Ben! Definitely recommend him and will use him again!”

My focus is always on the pet’s well-being, happiness, and comfort.

“Theresa is amazing! So happy she was willing to help with my lovely dog who has a lot of energy and can be reactive on walks. She was able to tend to his needs and be accommodating. So happy to find her!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for years through friends, family, and pets I've had the opportunity to care for along the way. Those experiences taught me that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Today, I'm the proud owner of a Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, which has given me daily hands-on experience with puppy care, exercise, feeding routines, enrichment activities, and positive reinforcement. Caring for my own dog has strengthened my understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping pets comfortable and on their usual routine. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while helping pets stay comfortable and on their usual routine. I also have a friendly Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, who loves companionship and can be a great playmate for dogs who enjoy being around other pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while their owners are away.

I love their unconditional love and would love to help as many as possible!🙏🏾 I’m currently a student at Stonehill College and we have scheduled breaks. For now, when I am home on breaks, my schedule is wide open. I have a pretty consistent unofficial routine of going on runs, lifting weights, and hanging out with my girlfriend Personally, I have one dog at home and when I get back I love to take him on long walks. I also just have a mental clock of refilling his food and water. Every other week or so we get him showered and cleaned up. I’ve also helped take care of other peoples pets stopping by and taking them on walks.

“I highly recommend Mark. He is punctual and super easy to work with, and very professional. He also gives me a summary of how the walks went and take pics. My dog loves to take walks with him, when my dog sees him, he is so happy, maybe even happier that if my dog sees me, that says a lot!”

“Chris is an amazing dog sitter! I had such a great experience with Chris! He is so nice, friendly, and truly cares about the pets he watches. While I was on vacation, he sent me videos and photos of my dog Isabella, which gave me such peace of mind. Chris took excellent care of her, and when I picked her up she looked happy, relaxed, and refreshed. I will definitely use his services again for dog sitting — he’s amazing! Thanks again Chris!”

“Marissa and her son were wonderful! They took us on as a last minute sit job and saved our weekend. She was so friendly and kind and laid back. Her energy is what I loved for my dog, because we are training for calm and chill and that’s what she came off as being. She was flexible and her dog got along great with my dog. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pup with her and this was our first time using a pet sitter. I highly recommend Marissa and if ever in town again will call her up.”

“Carlos was communicative and attentive and gave us photo updates of our Dog while there. Our dog enjoyed playing with some of the other dogs that were there and enjoyed the large yard.”

“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”

“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”

“This was our first time using Rover. We got daily updates and pictures. Our dog had a great time. The entire process was seamless from drop off to pick up. Will definitely be using Iwona again in the future!!!”

“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”


“Evvery is amazing! She took such great care of my dog even in this difficult winter weather with snow and ice covering the ground, and especially giving her special care when she got a small cut on her paw. Excellent communication with both photo and video updates. Thank you again Evvery!! : )”

“John was fantastic, and I definitely plan to use him next time I go away! He was super-professional (yet very friendly), sent me lots of pictures, and I could tell my dog Venus was happy as a clam while she was staying with John. I can't say enough about how great John was.”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Natalia and Edward are fantastic! I’ve used them twice now and have nothing but positive things to say! They’re great about sending daily updates. I will for sure use again!”

“Nicole was even better than I hoped. She was very attentive to my aging dog, and went above and beyond in accommodating her and making her feel at home. Even Nicole's dog took care of Bryn, letting her sleep in his bed and letting her drink water before he did. I was worried about choosing an apartment caregiver, but it turned to be perfect - carpeted halls and elevators made it easy for Bryn to get around.”

“Jason is amazing as always! We had a last minute request and he was very accommodating. This time our pup stayed with him and Jason was absolutely fantastic. Jason kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear our furry companion was comfortable and well cared for. Pickup/drop-off was smooth, communication was quick, and our pup came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.”

“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.”


“Caden was great, buddy, my 9 year old border collie love him and I got updates regularly, he took great care on him and I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend”

“Karyna was terrific with us and our dog Lolo. We made a modification during our vacation to extend our stay and she made it all so possible. Thanks to her we had a great trip. We will be looking to book our pets with her whenever we go away. She is very professional and knowledgeable about caring for pets with a sweet disposition. Thanks Karyna!”

“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.”
