“Kelly & Maurice took great care of my little again and he came home happy and worn out. They treated my Louie like he was one of their own dogs and sent me plenty of pics and videos during his stay. Will definitely use their services again in the future.”
“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Shuling was fantastic! I was very nervous to have my pup Miso puppy sat for the first time, but I needed a sitter for the holiday weekend, with very short notice. Shuling said yes immediately, and allowed me to come and meet her and her sweet pup Bear that same day. She really put me at ease. She kept Miso for 3 nights and sent several photos twice per day. I never had to worry at all. I can’t thank you enough, Shuling! Miso would love to come and hang out with you again sometime soon!”
“Mady is always a joy to work with! Kiko gets so excited to go over to her house and play with Bandit which is a testament to Mady’s care and attention! Kiko can’t wait to go back!”
“I am so happy I found Donna. Donna is amazing! She treated my fur baby Pixie as if she was her own. Donna kept me up to date daily with pictures and videos. I can tell Pixie was so happy with Donna. She is genuine and has great energy. She is a dog lover! This is my first time using the rover app. Pixie looked so sad driving home leaving Donna. I look forward to many more stays for Pixie with Donna. Thank you so much, words cannot express how appreciative I am, you took such great care of Pixie. 🫶🫶🫶”
“We thought we were having a good time until Tiffany sent pictures of our dogs. They were having the time of their lives! Tiffany is so kind and caring. She sent pictures of both dogs, cooked them food, let them sleep where they were comfortable. I couldn’t have picked a better person, and I will now only allow them to stay with Tiffany. Wonderful experience and big thanks to Tiffany!”
“Shelby and her husband Brad are fantastic dog sitters! Ollie was very well cared for, and we received plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay. He had a great time playing with their sweet pup, and they even gave him a bath (no easy feat!), so he came home both happy, exhausted, and clean!”
“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“Diana V has been our trusted pet sitter for over four years, and at this point, she’s truly part of our extended family. From day one, she and her family have been incredibly warm, welcoming, and reliable. They don’t just “watch” Kenzi—they treat her like one of their own. That kind of care is rare, and it shows every single time. Kenzi absolutely adores them. The excitement she shows when she realizes she’s going to see Diana says everything. No hesitation, no stress—just pure joy. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pet like family, Diana is it!”
“Michelle did a great job watching my little guy Charlie. She went out of her way to make him feel at home. She sent me much-appreciated pics and texts to let me know he was doing fine. I look forward to using her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Alicia took great care of Blossom. Blossom had a great time over the holiday playing with the kids. I appreciate that Alicia sent pictures and videos every day. I appreciated the family environment for Blossom. I would recommend Alicia she is very good with puppies. I know Blossom can be a handful at times, but Alicia handles her with great care. Blossom was a part of the family while she was there. Thank you so much!”
“Beth is amazing! She took such loving care of our senior pup - he was happy and treated like a prince, and we got to enjoy our trip worry-free. Beth is a game changer for us - we couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive or is okay in a crate or enclosed room during meetings. I do make sure the dogs are exercised before and after. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.
“This was my first time leaving Gizzmo with someone I did not know. However, Lynette and Vincent were warm and welcoming the moment we arrived. They sent numerous photos of my buddy’s daily activities and were very accommodating to my schedule. When I picked Gizzmo up, not only was he well taken care of, but he smelled great as well!! They will always be my choice!!!”
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”

“Elaine welcomed my Ziggy with open arms and heart. She is warm, friendly, loves dogs and treats them like family. Since being attacked by another dog at a dog park Ziggy has been anxious and nervous in different situations. When I returned I found a happy, smiling pup, which spoke volumes for his care with Elaine. I feel like I found a new family member who loves dogs as much as myself and shows Ziggy the kind of love to feel safe at home with her. Thanks Elaine”

Whether it is walking, feeding, and/or just spending quality time with them: I will be there! I am available to come to your home, and will promise to treat your home with respect! At my home I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves making new friends!
About: I work part-time at a pet resort with dogs and cats, I am a certified dog handler through Dog Handler Academy, Administer medications and/or eye drops if needed. Experience includes cleaning, playing, and cuddles. I can also send you pictures with updates of your pet. I have a wide range of availability. I am available for daily routine such as walking and/or feeding your pets, as well as drop-ins, all-day care, overnight and extended care. I take my own dogs for walks, feed and play with them. I can stay with dogs overnight as well as during the day for playtime and walks, as well as medications and eyedrops. I can do health checks for your animals which includes eyes, ears, paws, and skin to make sure they don't have infections. I do prefer to meet the dog(s) before caring for them.
About: I'm a very energetic person so I will always play with the pets and I'm always making sure they are well looked after. I have taken care of plenty of pets aging from young puppies and kittens to older. When taking care of cats I have plenty of toys and things for them to climb on. I have also taken care of pets that have special needs. Like diabetics and other things. I know how to give medications oral and in shot form. Special skills would be probably that I can keep up with any animal and I love all of them. They put a smile on my face. And I love seeing owners with the same smiles. It warms my heart every day. ? I'm usually free most of the day and love cuddles and walking with the pups and kitties. So scheduling will be easy and always available. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat that love others. We can play and go for walks. Also tons of activities to do.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for the last 6 years. I have had to feed, walk, scoop litter boxes, give medicine, and give ALL of my attention to them :) I have had a dog all of my life and have been around animals every single day. I will care for your for baby like my own. I will send pictures/videos to make you feel like you are there watching them :) I do have a full-time job, but it is remote, so I am very flexible. I do not have assigned hours, so I am able to care for your animal at any point of the day, whether be walks, or just stop in to say hey and play for a while! I will be able to care for your fur baby at your house making sure everything is cleaned up and safe for your animal. I am very accommodative and if you need or want anything else done just let me know!

“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Mady is always a joy to work with! Kiko gets so excited to go over to her house and play with Bandit which is a testament to Mady’s care and attention! Kiko can’t wait to go back!”
“I am so happy I found Donna. Donna is amazing! She treated my fur baby Pixie as if she was her own. Donna kept me up to date daily with pictures and videos. I can tell Pixie was so happy with Donna. She is genuine and has great energy. She is a dog lover! This is my first time using the rover app. Pixie looked so sad driving home leaving Donna. I look forward to many more stays for Pixie with Donna. Thank you so much, words cannot express how appreciative I am, you took such great care of Pixie. 🫶🫶🫶”
“We thought we were having a good time until Tiffany sent pictures of our dogs. They were having the time of their lives! Tiffany is so kind and caring. She sent pictures of both dogs, cooked them food, let them sleep where they were comfortable. I couldn’t have picked a better person, and I will now only allow them to stay with Tiffany. Wonderful experience and big thanks to Tiffany!”
“Shelby and her husband Brad are fantastic dog sitters! Ollie was very well cared for, and we received plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay. He had a great time playing with their sweet pup, and they even gave him a bath (no easy feat!), so he came home both happy, exhausted, and clean!”
“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive or is okay in a crate or enclosed room during meetings. I do make sure the dogs are exercised before and after. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Grew up in a house with 2+ dogs near constantly. All family dogs were 60+ lbs each with the largest being 110lbs. My 75lb dog crossed the rainbow bridge Sept 2025, I am not ready for a dog full time but I do miss the company. I will spoil your dog. I do not care about breed. I am looking for weekends. I work full time, so I am ready to go around noon on Friday and depending on the needs can be around all weekend. Generally I do leave the house during the weekend for a couple hours during the day to do chores and stuff but other than that can be a total home body. If the dog is good on leash I have a great neighborhood to take walks. If you are looking for me to stay at your house over the weekend, I can provide as much potty coverage as you request. If you want me to stay over the week, I do have a day job with my schedule being 7-3. I have a 8ft privacy fence the whole way around my backyard with a dog door. I do not have a crate, but I can use yours if you want your dog crated. I follow your food rules. I used to make hot breakfast/dinner for my dog. I do keep some dog treats in the house but I will check with you if your dog can have that specific treat first and if there are any dietary needs. If you want me to stay in your house, lets write the rules down and I'm happy to do whatever. If you have poor cellphone service, it'd be great to get a wifi password.
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“Yukia, is a consummate professional! Her love for and experience with big dogs only adds to her being my go to care provider in my time of need! She is absolutely wonderful!! Thank you ma'am!! See you next time!!”
“Bianca is the absolute best! My dog Amelia instantly feels at home with her. And she contacts me with any issues that arrive immediately, as well as, sends me picture updates.”
“Chris was wonderful with my Labradoodle, Rambo! He made him feel right at home and kept him happy and playful the whole time. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I’ll definitely book with Chris again!”
“Ms. Raynell was absolutely superb she communicated effectively. She was very polite and notified me if there were any concerns. Usually I’m a bit hesitant about leaving my dog with just anyone but I’m glad I did with Raynell. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is comfortable. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
