“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!)”
“Our little Bean came back to us healthy & happy! Ivan gave us a tour of his home where Bean would be, including a great backyard for her to run around. He followed Bean's care instructions & kept us updated with photos as we were out of the country. We would definitely ask him to be our dogsitter again. Thank you Ivan.”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone other than family and it was a great experience. I love that the whole family is involved and that they sent photos regularly to let us know how Max was doing. Will definitely use Israel (and his family) again. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking good care of our Max while we were away.”
“This is the third time we’ve had Sophia watch Shiloh, and I can guarantee it won’t be the last. She provided Shiloh with excellent care, and gave frequent updates! It was great to know that Shiloh was in good hands!”
“Another great "staycation" with Everry! Everry is absolutely the best person to leave your pups with, she's Kingsley's favorite person and he absolutely loves his time with her every stay :) thanks for everything again Everry!”
“We highly recommend using Jared as a pet-sitter! We have been taking our Cooper to him for the past few years and he does a great job. Always sends us pictures of our pup. Fantastic communication! 5 stars!”
“Mopsie’s 3rd trip to Wenyan’s doggie vacation house was beyond expectation again! Mopsie loves Wenyan and her family. So after we dropped her off, she wasted no time and dived into fun right away. She played hard with her old friends: Purple and the gang. We got the cutest video and picture feeds from Wenyan constantly. And as usual, Mopsie got a lot more exercise than she usually does at home and got a lot more TLC too. She came back so happy, smelling so fresh and hair so soft and smooth from the daily grooming sessions. After only two days back at home, I can tell she already misses Wenyan and her doggie friends. What else can I ask for for my baby while I’m away?🥰”
“My Lucky got a very good care during weekend. She slept well, enjoyed walking and playing in backyard, she even got new friends. Although Shiba is quite stubborn and it was first time Iwona met Shiba. Iwona showed great patient to accompany Lucky. Thanks so much and appreciate ! I know that Lucky likes Iwona and her place, I will choose her service again in the future.”
“Samantha was great! I went on a 8 day trip and she made sure to give me daily updates about my dog and how he was doing and even gave him a toy he was always playing with. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight got delayed and Chase had to stay an extra night. Chase loves going over there and will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much 😊”
“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!!”
“Gail and Kris took excellent care of our little guy and sent lots of adorable photos and videos! We were very comfortable leaving him in their care and 100% will book again. Thank you!”
“We were delighted with the care our dog received while we were away. From the outset, it was clear that Anne-Marie clearly loves animals. She enjoyed playing with Scooter and was attentive to his needs. Scooter was completely relaxed and content when we returned. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and attentive. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Huron and Elise were beyond wonderful to our pups. They were communicative, knowledgeable, and never gave me a moment’s worry while our fur babies were in their care. My family would use them again in a heartbeat and we highly recommend their services. They are an absolute gem!”
“I can not say enough good things. Leaving my dog is always hard. Kasey completely but my mind at ease. I loved the daily updates and pictures. Kasey took excellent care of Penny. I will absolutely be booking with Kasey again.”
“Ana and her family showered Mowgli with cuddles, attention and lots of walks! We received several pictures throughout the day and communication was prompt. He came back happy and tired - all signs of a great stay!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Catherine was wonderful with our senior cat! She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with Catherine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Jennifer did a great job with my Eleanor! Got some great pictures and a lot of peace of mind knowing she was well cared for while I was away. I would definitely use Jennifer again the next time I'm out of town!”
“Tori was great! She left detailed updates and lots of photos! She made me feel really good about using rover for the first time! My two cats were happy when we came home which is all I can ask for!”
“Catherine was so wonderful! She agreed to come on pretty short notice when our daughter decided to make her appearance, and she took great care of our two cats while we were away! She made sure we were updated, and we came home to two happy guys who were fed and watered. And Catherine even thought to bring in our mail, which was something we hadn’t even considered!”
“We made a last minute decision to travel and William was thankfully available to take care of Winnie on short notice! He gave me great updates and photos of my fur baby. I am so grateful 🐈⬛🐾”
“I cannot thank Nicole enough. Not only does she take great care with our cat Jasper - who is very upset at being left, but she notified us and handled a house emergency until we returned home. We were calmer and enjoyed our away time more knowing that she was watching over Jasper.”
“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!”
“Dee Dee was great with our three cats. She was very communicative and responsive to all questions and requests. Two of our cats can be a bit standoffish, but they warmed up to her very quickly.”
“Best cat care I’ve ever had! I was truly able to relax on an international trip knowing Regina was there with my boys. She sent many pictures and updates and gave them them all the cuddles and playtime they each needed. Will definitely ask for her help again the future!”
“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”
“Candice did a wonderful job keeping our kitties fed and boxes tidied on schedule while we were out for a quick trip. Will definitely hire her for longer vacations in the future!”
“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.”
“Catherine just completed her first booking with us for our 3 elderly cats -- and she did a great job! The cats were clearly well-tended, she took the time to send photos and reassure us pet parents, and she gave us updates as the several days went on. One of the cats needs daily medicine, and Catherine found a new way to encourage Mischa the cat to gobble down the mashed pill. Thanks! She also accepted this assignment with very little lead time -- thank you, Cathy!”
“As always, lynette was reliable and dependable! We have hired Lynette several times now and we always know we can count on her to take care of our kitties and find them in their hiding spots! Would definitely recommend!”
“Samantha was fantastic! We felt completely at ease going on a week long vacation while she cared for our cat Dolly at home. She sent continuous communication of visits and photos along with a detailed list of specific care items for Dolly. She is extremely friendly, personable, and professional. Dolly warmed right up to her immediately and we know exactly who we will be contacting for any future trips. We cannot recommend Samantha enough for her wonderful care and reassurance!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up around a lot of dogs and cats. I hope neighbors and friends. Schedule I work Monday through Thursday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m generally available and have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. My husband is also able to help when needed, especially during my work hours. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I’ll follow all instructions you provide and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay.
“My pup Kodi goes to doggy daycare with Ming and his team. He runs to their door every morning, wagging his tail waiting to go in. I get daily updates with photos and/or texts, and so get to see how much fun he is having while I am at work. The house is a little doggy retreat, with lots of places for pups to rest and a nice backyard to play in. Kodi has a great time and comes home tired from a fun filled day.”
“Yuzu loves to spend a day at Wenyan’s! Wenyan is great with dogs, and her detailed report card of our pup after a daycare always makes us smile. She is our go-to sitter.”
“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 :).”
About: Dogs will have a safe, loving, and fun environment with me 🐾 I enjoy spending time with pets, giving them attention, walks, playtime, and lots of care so they feel happy and comfortable like home. Your furry friend will be treated like family ❤️ I work part time. I can walk feed or showier pets in the morning evenings and weekends. dogs can sleep at my house in my room.

“Gail and Chris took care of my baby so well while I was at work. They updated me periodically and made me feel safe knowing he was safe. He enjoyed his stays and look forward to other stays.”
“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!”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“Yuhui took great care of Miso, played with her, and gave Miso a lot of attention. She gave us a detailed report on what Miso did during her time there and took her out on multiple walks. Miso enjoyed spending her time there.”
“Elisel was great! She accommodated a last minute request and our specific timing which was a life saver during our moving day. The peace of mind that she gave with the updates was worth it. Would use her again!”
“Dawn was an incredible sitter! She kept me updated throughout the entire process with great communication, photos, and videos of Scooby. She even gave him three toys- so thoughtful! I’d definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for my own dog from puppyhood into her senior years, giving me experience with different stages of a dog’s life and their changing needs.

It really showed how much care and attention she gives. Reliable, thoughful and truly treats our Dog as her own. We do appreciate your help Gabriela.”

“Took extra care to help my (very recent) rescue come out of her shell and made sure my gal was comfortable with her. A lot of empathy but still a proper pro with my pooch!”
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.
About: I only found about my love for dogs when I decided to get a dog a few years ago. My experience includes raising a chow chow puppy into a member of dog society by individual and dog park playtime, walks outside, administering medication, and enforced chill time as necessary. I know how anxiety inducing leaving your pets when you're away, so I will treat you the way I would like to be treated with many photo / video updates! I love all dogs, big or small, outgoing or shy! If your dog is socialized enough for a trip to PetSmart or marshalls, could do that too! I work full time from home without many meetings which gives me the flexibility I want to walk dogs or drop by a for visits. I can work with whatever equipment your dog is used to - collars and harnesses. If your dog has a schedule, I will follow it so they don't feel out of their routine.

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!!! :)”
“Cal & Kelly were wonderful! They sent multiple photos and videos daily. This was our first time leaving our dog alone while we went on vacation but we felt very comfortable with him in their hands. Our dog had an especially great time playing with Lilo and Nero! We look forward to keeping our pup there again soon.”
“Sarah is incredible, and our dog adores her (and her cold tile kitchen floor after the walks they take!). Thank you for once again providing such great care for our big guy. I highly recommend her services!”
“Jessica is a real one. Our elderly (but still spry) pitbull was in absolute heaven at her house, surrounded by love and sunshine! Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable about many breeds and does such an amazing job asking all the questions she needs to in order to integrate your pup into her family, and set/keep the right boundaries to keep everyone safe and happy. I could tell from all the pictures she captured that our girl was relaxed and loved for our entire trip/ would absolutely recommend Jessica if you’re looking for a wonderful experience for your dog!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Camilo and his wife Carolina took amazing care of my fur babies, Lola and Strider, while my family and I went on vacation. Our experience couldn’t have been better! From our initial meet-and-greet, I immediately felt at ease. Camilo and Carolina were warm, professional, and asked thoughtful questions about my dogs’ routines, habits, and personalities, which showed how attentive and caring they are. It was clear from the start that our babies would be in great hands. During our trip, they sent consistent daily photos and updates that gave us complete peace of mind. Every picture showed Lola and Strider happy, comfortable, and well exercised, and it was obvious they were being cared for like family. I especially appreciated how they tailored their care to each dog’s individual needs and energy levels, making sure both of them were happy and well looked after. When we picked them up, both dogs were relaxed and happy. Camilo and Carolina are trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We will absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for doggie care!”
“Dawn was amazing! She spoiled my dog and made him feel right at home. She made organic treats for him which he loved. She also sent lots of updates, pictures and videos of him having a great time!”
“She was great! My dog got along with her from the start. (Which is very rare) Simmon followed up even after i picked up my dog since she was vomiting towards the end of the stay just to make sure she was okay! Overall it was a great experience”
“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.”
