“I booked Megan for a long term boarding for my pup while I was away for a few months. She treated him as if he were one of her own. He looked so happy in all of the photos and videos she sent. She’s an amazing sitter, very responsive and provides constant updates 😊”
“Once Again, they have been life savers. With my work schedule being so back and forth, Yiqiuxi and Nick have been the stability for me and my dog. When I drop off Oakley, I always knows he is in safe and caring hands which is the best feeling as a dog parent that travels for work. I cannot recommend them enough.”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Lillian is amazing! She took great care of my two small pups. I was nervous leaving them as they are small (3 and 7lbs) but our meet up went well and I loved her reviews and I see why!! Lillian didn’t just “watch” my dogs but she cared for them as if they were her own. She provided lots of photos and feedback while I was away. She was flexible when I became ill after travel and I was able to extend my pups stay without worry. I am really pleased with how my pups were treated, it means the world to me because they are literally my kids. I would absolutely use Lilian again!! Thank you a million times over!”
“This was my first time booking with Seyla. He is was very, responsive and easy to talk to, he addressed my concerns before taking my baby to his home. I love that he sends pictures and videos throughout the day, along with a summary of the days activities. I felt at ease knowing my baby was in good hands. Thank you again, Seyla. Ace looks forward to visiting soon.”
“Rena was a great pet sitter for my Boston Terrier! She took him on plenty of walks, and made sure he was comfortable. I received tons of pictures and updates of his care. I will definitely choose Rena again when I’m going away.”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Erwin and his wife were amazing! They took great care of our babies and made them feel at home. They both came home happy and exhausted. I would definitely use them again!”
“Tanita and Terrence were great! Hendrix is a big boy and a little (ok.. BIG) excited when he meets new people. They made him feel at home and took excellent care. I got regular updates and pictures. Highly recommend”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“Needed last minute care for the July 4th holiday and found Aaron and Tia! Very accomodating and happy i chose them! I was worried Howie would get anxious but the daily photos and videos assured me he was well cared for and happy! Thank you so much!”
“Connie was a dream to have watch our new puppy! We were new to Rover and a little cautious about the experience but she was helpful and professional upon contact. We decided to board with Connie for a week long stay and were extremely pleased with the constant correspondence including many, many sweet pictures of our puppy playing and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Connie to anyone considering a caretaker for their fur baby!”
“We couldn't ask for a better person to board our dog. Morgan is the best, he sent us updates and photos through out the boarding week. Our dog was clearly loved and received excellent care. We highly recommend Morgan to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their furry friend!”
“Garrett and Ana were wonderful! Kylo thinks so too! We appreciated their communication while he was with them. It gave us peace of mind that he was fine and relaxed. We also appreciated their time to acquaint him with their own dog and other boarders. We'd definitely use them again!”
“Coco had a great time with Kareema and her dog Xenia. Everything about this experience was great and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She's very flexible and understanding. And made our drop off seamless. Her communication was often and she even sent photos and videos to us.”
“Rebeca was wonderful! Jules seemed happy well cared for when I picked her up. She even accommodated a later pick up time when I had to take a later train back in town. Rebeca made sure to return Jules’ favorite ball, which often gets lost. Highly recommend Rebeca and I know Jules will be happy to stay with her again! From the video she sent I can tell the dogs have a lot of fun playing in the back yard 😊”
“Brian was awesome with Mello, he continued to keep me updated with pics and status. My little guy was home sick during his stay but Brian did everything possible to help him feel comfortable and was very understanding. I will book again soon”

“We used Rachel for the first time this week and will definitely be continuing to book with her in the future!! Our kitty loved her and she had great communication. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job with our cats and we have a lot of them including some fosters. She came on time for each visit, played with all of the cats and kept our Litter Robots spotless. We will 100% book her again for our future tripe”
About: I've lived with a ragdoll cat for a few years and have taken care of my friends' cats while they were out of town. I can feed your cat, join them in some playtime, and clean their litter box. If your cat is shy and prefers to be left alone, I'll still make sure to seek them out to confirm there ok before leaving. I am not comfortable administering medications.
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
“Kady loves and knows animals and it really shows. She's very communicative and professional. Kady went above and beyond to help clean up after a cat having new litter issues. She handled my 4 cats with no issues. I highly recommend her for anyone with cats and multiple animals. I will absolutely use Kady again in the future.”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs through house sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines. My background working with children has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and reliability, and I treat every pet with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m La’Quondra, a compassionate and dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve volunteered at a pet shelter and have hands-on experience providing loving care to animals with a variety of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience, playtime, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medications, or additional attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences, and I take pride in providing personalized care. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind during your time apart. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am a stay at home mom with a love for animals and look forward to serving your 4-legged family member during my free time. I have a fenced yard and plenty of walking and hiking trails within walking distance to our home. I can walk them or just cuddle if that’s more their speed. Your trust in knowing your pet is loved brings me joy.
About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life, and cats I’ve been around for half my life. I only started fully taking care of them at 13 when I was more responsible! I’m 18 now and have watched scared cats, friendly cats, and avoidant cats!
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.
“Anna did a great job looking after my senior cat with health issues. As all 3 of my pets have conditions requiring meds, it is a comfort to leave them with someone with Vet Tech experience.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was six years old and I still have a cat of my own. Will take care of all your fur babies needs including play time, changing litter box, feeding, and lots of pets. My childhood cat lived to be 22 years old so I have experience with senior cats as well.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, they’re truly my favorite animal! I currently have two: Willow, my 4 year-old indoor cat, and Stella, our 9 year-old barn cat. They’re both spayed and well cared for with regular feeding schedules (wet food twice a day, with treats here and there!). I clean their litter boxes often every other day for Willow, and every 3–4 days for Stella, since she spends some time outdoors. I also have experience caring for my neighbor’s seven cats (four indoor and three outdoor) when she travels for work, along with her farm animals like rabbits, chickens, and other small critters. I’ve even helped care for baby kittens, so I’m well-versed in their unique needs. I’d love the chance to meet and care for your kitty too! I have also recently just started the Vet Assistant program at CSM to help me further my career in animal care. I am ready to help you and your lovely cats feel safe and at ease!!
About: I have been taking care of dogs/animals ever since I was 9. I have experience with puppies all the way to blind seniors who need special attention and care. I also have experience with pregnant dogs. I am able to give meds and/or shots. I am currently a vet tech at a reputable animal clinic near me 4 days a week (Mon,Tues,wed,fri) from 9-6 but I am generally flexible outside of that! As of right now I am unable to offer pet sitting services at my house as my current dog isn’t friendly with others. However when I go to your home I will be respectful of whatever house rules you have in place and do my best to leave your house as I found it.

“Connie was amazing with Thor! Besides being available last minute, she went above and beyond. She has a super warm personality and made Thor feel at ease right away. He was so happy to run around in her yard. She even packed some homemade treats for him to take home! She was just fantastic and I highly recommend. We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”

“We were visiting from out of town for our sons wedding and needed a last minute sitter. Thankfully we found Megan! Olive had a great time with Megan. She was a happy and worn out pup by the time we picked her up.”

“It means soo much to have a safe space for my dog, my baby, to stay and play with humans and other dogs. Thanks Tanita and Terrence for such great and attentive service!”
“I’ll say it today and a thousands times over, Seyla is the absolute best!! The genuine love and care for my fur boys is unmatched! The last visit, they didn’t want to leave him😩 He had to help me put them in my truck. As a fur mommy, I was sad at first but then it made me feel good to know my boys are at a place where they feel loved, have fun and learning. Thanks again Seyla!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I are dog lovers but are not ready to own one so we are able to provide your pet with undivided attention and care. I work from home full time so I have the ability to care for your pet and let them outside frequently whenever they wanted it. I have a fenced in huge yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. My children are 5 and 7 and would entertain your pet with plenty of play and cuddles.
“This was my very first-time using Rover, and when I say I am overly pleased. Richardine is AWESOME! I was so nervous to use the service because I had just had a pup pass away, and I did not know what I was going to do going forward. I did a meet and greet with Richardine, and I knew at that moment, my pup will be with Richardine each time I will need a sitter. Very personable, reliable, and made sure I received photos throughout the day to let me know what my pup was doing. Once I picked my pup up, she was playing, and happy. I am truly overjoyed with the service that I received. Thank you so much Richardine, and I will see you very soon. Latisha M.”

“Brenna was an awesome walker - we were looking for someone new on a short timeline and I’m so glad we found Brenna. She is communicative and even gave Smokey some extra walking time which I really appreciate. If you're looking for a dog walker in La Plata, don’t hesitate to book!”
About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.
“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”
About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my friends and family dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from large breeds like German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Corgis.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and professionally. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My professional experience includes dog training and bathing/grooming, and I am also accredited through PetSmart while currently working toward becoming a certified groomer. This ongoing training continues to strengthen my understanding of canine behavior, body language, handling techniques, and how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra exercise and attention, or another type of care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their individual personality and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time as a professional dog bather, typically 15–20 hours per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other services throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Because my work is already centered around caring for dogs, I’m comfortable working with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for your dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routines as consistent as possible and treating your space with the same respect I would my own. For walks, I’ll stay in familiar local areas and use safe, vetted trails that are appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I have professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including bathing and training, so I’m comfortable paying attention to body language, behavior, and potential safety concerns. I’ll always follow your instructions, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure your pet receives attentive, dependable care while you’re away.

I’m 18 now, I have watched scared dogs, big dogs, friendly dogs, jumping dogs, sleepy dogs, small dogs, and same goes for cats! I have 4 dogs currently, and I freed them and take them out all the time, so extra dogs wouldn’t make any difference I would just do the same with them as I do with my dogs! They would have all permissions as my dogs! I will take them out, check them for tics or anything hurting them if they show it. Feed them obviously! And give them treats on certain occasions, or whenever you say I can give them. I take my time with them and love them with my whole heart! Your dog will be treated exactly how I treat mine!

My service area is wide and I don't mind driving a bit to get to your house. I have military base access and I'm happy to watch animals living on military bases in the area. I worked as a veterinary technician for over 5 years before I started working in human medicine. I worked at a veterinary hospital in Georgia for over five years while I completed college. I frequently petsat during high school and college and cared for several animals that were medically fragile. I enjoy bottle-feeding puppies and kittens in my free time. I love all types of animals and can provide advanced medical care to boarding animals. I have worked with all sizes, shapes, and types of animals at the vet clinic and have had many exotic animals of my own. I currently have 4 dogs, 3 birds, and 2 hedgehogs. I am happy to watch any number of animals, including farm animals, please just send me a message and I can create a custom booking for you and your pets depending on the level of care that they need. My husband and I live with our 4 dogs in La Plata, Maryland. We have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space to play in. We have 2 doves in a birdcage at home but they will not interfere with the dogs. We are unable to host cats in our home due to an allergy but I am available to petsit for cats in your home. My husband watches our animals while I am away housesitting, they would not come with me to any of my bookings. I work about 15 hours out of the home each week but other than that I am always home. I have 4 dogs of my own, 3 birds, and 2 hedgehogs so taking care of animals is something I enjoy doing. I recently adopted 2 hedgehogs and I hope to keep growing my animal family in the future. I don't have kids and my husband also assists with animal care when needed (the dogs are my kids let's be honest). When I am boarding dogs at my home, they are one of my family and do the same things my dogs are doing. I take everyone outside frequently and I am always throwing a ball or playing tug of war with someone. If I'm napping, the dogs are on the bed with me napping too. Usually everyone is pretty happy to be lounging on the couch or following me around the house while I do my chores. I have a large fenced in yard that I prefer to use to exercise dogs and take them to potty. I am happy to walk dogs around the neighborhood if they need the extra exercise but I do require that the dog has a well fitting harness. Some dogs are master escape artists from their collars/harnesses (little houdinis), so if this is the case for your dog we will be playing inside my fenced in yard instead. My fence is about 6 feet tall so if your dog is capable of jumping higher than this please let me know when booking.

“So grateful for Tionna. This is my first time using a dog walking service and I appreciated that she was able to come ahead of time for a meet and great with my dog. She would be good about sending me updates regarding her walks with my dog and was good at responding if I had a question or concern. Great communication.”
About: I am a reliable, responsible, and caring pet owner with hands-on experience caring for two dogs and one cat. Through daily pet care, I have developed a strong understanding of animal needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and recognizing changes in behavior that may indicate stress or illness. As a teacher on summer break, I am looking for a reliable source of income while school is out. My background in education reflects my patience, responsibility, and commitment to caring for others.

Pet owners can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to their pets’ needs.

About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.

“I booked Megan for a long term boarding for my pup while I was away for a few months. She treated him as if he were one of her own. He looked so happy in all of the photos and videos she sent. She’s an amazing sitter, very responsive and provides constant updates 😊”
“Once Again, they have been life savers. With my work schedule being so back and forth, Yiqiuxi and Nick have been the stability for me and my dog. When I drop off Oakley, I always knows he is in safe and caring hands which is the best feeling as a dog parent that travels for work. I cannot recommend them enough.”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Lillian is amazing! She took great care of my two small pups. I was nervous leaving them as they are small (3 and 7lbs) but our meet up went well and I loved her reviews and I see why!! Lillian didn’t just “watch” my dogs but she cared for them as if they were her own. She provided lots of photos and feedback while I was away. She was flexible when I became ill after travel and I was able to extend my pups stay without worry. I am really pleased with how my pups were treated, it means the world to me because they are literally my kids. I would absolutely use Lilian again!! Thank you a million times over!”
“This was my first time booking with Seyla. He is was very, responsive and easy to talk to, he addressed my concerns before taking my baby to his home. I love that he sends pictures and videos throughout the day, along with a summary of the days activities. I felt at ease knowing my baby was in good hands. Thank you again, Seyla. Ace looks forward to visiting soon.”

“Connie was a dream to have watch our new puppy! We were new to Rover and a little cautious about the experience but she was helpful and professional upon contact. We decided to board with Connie for a week long stay and were extremely pleased with the constant correspondence including many, many sweet pictures of our puppy playing and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Connie to anyone considering a caretaker for their fur baby!”
“We couldn't ask for a better person to board our dog. Morgan is the best, he sent us updates and photos through out the boarding week. Our dog was clearly loved and received excellent care. We highly recommend Morgan to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their furry friend!”
“Coco had a great time with Kareema and her dog Xenia. Everything about this experience was great and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She's very flexible and understanding. And made our drop off seamless. Her communication was often and she even sent photos and videos to us.”

“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Tara is amazing!! She and her family were so loving and attentive to our Diesel! Tara took great care in making sure Diesel was comfortable and safe with her dog and another dog in her care. Her home was clean and well organized, and her sweet family was icing on the cake. The love of this family shined through in everything from their warm welcome at the meet and greet to the consistent updates and pics sent throughout the stay. I highly recommend Tara and I am sure Diesel can't wait to stay again!”
“Exceeded my expectations! This dynamic duo is truly a dream team. They took very good care of my Tyson since the meet and greet! They are very communicative and will send you as little or as many updates as you can take. This was my first time away from my baby and it’s warming to find out I was the one with separation anxiety while he had a friend and a safe space to be a dog! Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services 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.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this wonderful couple. They took amazing care of my dog, Liara, at their farm, providing a safe, loving, and spacious environment surrounded by farm animals, which made her stay even more enriching. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about the animals they look after. What truly stood out was their kindness and flexibility when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. When my flight got cancelled, they didn’t hesitate to continue caring for Liara, going above and beyond to help me during a stressful situation. That level of understanding and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. I’m incredibly grateful for their care, communication, and generosity. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters—I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
