“We were delighted by the experience with Yi. She sent photos through our time away which were so reassuring since it was the first time we had left Max in a new place. We are most appreciative of her care.”
“We moved to the U.S. recently and couldn't be happier to have found Lina to watch our Beagle, Ralph. She is so gentle and loving—Ralph had the absolute best time with her! Thank you so much, Lina, for taking such great care of him. We will definitely be back!”
“My dog stayed in Robin's house 4night. Since heavy traffic jam, I asked her to keep my dog 1extend night. She was willing to comply with my request right away. Thank you very much Robin! My dog enjoyed her boarding with Robin's many dogs.”
“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.”
“Excellent communication and clean housing. I really appreciated the daily photos. Was, at first, surprised that he boarded more than one dog at a time but it ended up being just fine. Thanks for excellent care, Andy!”
“Right from the beginning, Leah was fantastic. She communicated with me very promptly and politely, and she was easy to connect with. She followed the instructions for our dog and took great care of him while we were gone with walks and love. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. When we picked our dog up I told Leah, next time we go out of town, I will definitely be calling her first!”
“We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”
“I recently found Wendy to watch my pup who exceeded my expectations! She is professional, has great space for dogs and genuinely cared for my dog. I loved receiving regular updates and pictures, which showed my baby was happy and well-cared for. Communication was fantastic; she promptly answered all my questions and kept me informed throughout the stay. I highly recommend Wendy anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“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!”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“Sriju was personable and made me and most importantly, my dog feel comfortable. I could tell he enjoyed being with her. Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!”
“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!!”
“Anne and family were great with our dog. She was very easy to communicate with, has a great house with a fenced in backyard, nice neighborhood, and parks nearby, etc. Her own dog was adorable and got along well with our high-energy 2-year old dog. We never know about how our dog will get along since, although he is quite friendly, he does have a lot of energy and loves a lot of running, chasing, etc. We had various special instructions for feeding, walking, playing, and the like, and Anne was great in taking care of those requests. We appreciated getting pictures and updates and we highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend! We had a very last minute cancellation by our dog sitter for Jeb on the morning of a trip out of town. Very lucky that we found Shahan - she replied right away and was able to take our buddy Jeb with only 2 hours of advance notice! Shoham has a large fenced in backyard, great for pups to get their exercise. She also provided walks and kept me updated on Jeb throughout the weekend. You can tell she is very good with dogs because Jeb was very relaxed when we arrived, and took the time to introduce him to the other dogs visiting to make sure everything was OK. We will definitely be using Shoham again for future doggie visits!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“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 had an awesome experience with Xin! She took great care of Tommy. We got regular updates and pics, which really put us at ease. Tommy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Would 100% book again 😊”
“We’ve asked William to drop in on our cats several times now. Each time he is detailed, attentive, and just overall so helpful. Even our very shy cat has warmed up to him completely!”
“Kyrstin was wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were gone for a week! She kept us very updated and shared a lot of photos. She managed medication administration for one of our cats as well. We would trust her over and over again to take care of our boys 💙🐾”
About: I have experience raising and caring for cats since I was a toddler when Santa brought me my first cat! I have since always had a cat of my own, and currently have three! I also have experience as a foster, raising cats and kittens of all ages and sizes. My friends and family trust me as the cat expert and always come to me for cat sitting responsibilities!
“So nice and goes over the top to help accommodate your traveling, etc. to help take care of your pets. If Darla and I weren’t moving, we would gladly ask her to take us on again.”
About: I’ve owned three cats in my life Lucas, Jasmine and Garfield. Sadly Garfield is no longer with us as he passed away a few years ago of a heart attack, but Lucas and Jasmine are still around and hopefully stay that way for many years to come.
About: Father-and-son team: We will be happy to take care of your dog/dogs. We have a lot of experience doing so, as we have our own dog and often sit for our friends. Father-and-son team: We work online full-time. We have plenty of time and a desire to make your dog’s stay with us comfortable. We are available at any time. We live in a big house and have a fenced backyard. We also have a super friendly Shetland Sheepdog who will keep your fur baby company. We also live close to a huge park.
“I was super comfortable having Rachel come take care of my cat. She took the time to stay and hangout with her too. I could tell in the many photos Rachel shared that my cat loved her. Will definitely have her cat sit again!”
“Melissa took very good care of my cat while I was away! In addition to feeding and checking in, she made sure to bond and play with my cat, which was wonderful :) She also made sure to send me detailed updates and pictures with every check-in. Highly recommend!”
“Pam took very good care of our two cats. Unfortunately our rambunctiou 10-month old kitten injured his leg (not her fault) shortly after we left for two weeks and she ended up taking him to the vet twice, administering his meds, and looking after him while he was confined to one room on vet's orders to help him heal. Through it all she was very caring and concerned and kept us fully informed on what was going on. Knowing she had trained as a vet tech reassured us that the cats were in good hands and let us enjoy the rest of our vacation.”
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.
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.
About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling! ⚠️ For safety for me and your pet, I cannot accept dogs over 60 lbs ⚠️ I have FULL availability during LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Any help you need to fully enjoy your weekend and last minute vacations can be found and easily booked through my profile! I attend community college during the fall and early winter seasons, so I will be available during the school season as well. I will communicate times that work for me and that work best for you and your pet! I keep track of very specific introduction you provide such as training protocols for feeding and interaction with other dogs. So far in my experience I have been able to adapt to various personalities of different dogs and enable them to have a safe and comforting experience with new people

“Our first daycare visit with Yi was wonderful! She is very gentle and loving towards the pups spending the day. You can tell she is really thoughtful, takes the time to understand your pet, and sends cute updates throughout the day. Our pup had a great day and looks forward to his next visit with his new friends!”
“For Pip, it was love at first sight. He immediately connected to Lina. This was our ‘get to know you’ session in advance of our big summer vacation. Even as a one day visit, Lina shared a detailed write-up and photos of Willow and Pip playing, having outdoor time and being cared for. It has put my mind at ease knowing that our pups will be well cared for during our trip.”
“Grayson is a big puppy who doesn’t know when to stop playing. He had the BEST time at Sasha’s house!! I know this because pictures were sent throughout the day, and when he got home at the end of the day he was totally exhausted!! There were lots of big dogs for him to play with, too. We will definitely return.”
“We are so lucky to have found Kiran! He is very responsive, flexible, and kind. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. Mabel loved her time with him and we appreciated the pic/video updates. Mabel is already excited for her next visit!”
About: Hi I'm a puppy lover, and I work from home. We are surrounded by many parks and would love to take your dog out to play. We have both grown up with dogs and would love to have our own one day but currently we travel abroad for a month every year which makes owning a dog a challenge. I would love to look after your puppy as my own! Why I love dog sitting We have always had dogs in our family. Since we travel internationally for over a month period almost every year, it is difficult for us to own one currently and therefore through Rover, we are able to get our puppy fix. About my yard We do have a huge yard My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. My husband and I work from home and our parents are young, retired and live with us so we have 4 adults to help as needed. We only offer dog sitting in our home. Ofcourse we will feed them, walk them, pick up after them and offer unconditional cuddles if they allow us :)
“Shoham was so so SO accommodating & willing to see if daycare with her would work with my sweet boy who has a some separation anxiety in new spaces. Even though it ultimately didn’t work out on my pups end, he had a blast playing in her beautiful fenced backyard & with all of her pups! I’ll absolutely work on crate training him & hope to see her again in the future when I do”
About: Family love!! We now own a Bugg (boston terrier/pug mix) named Moxie who is 4 and previously owned a rescue pug named Rosie who lived to be 15. We have a single family home and large fully fenced in yard and love pet sitting all our neighbors' pets! We also have three boys (ages 5, 9, 12) who are comfortable around pets and love to play with them. My husband and I both telework so someone is home every day of the week. Either my husband or I am home every day. We typically walk our Bugg, Moxie, 3 times a day and also have a large fully fenced yard for her to play. Our current dog, Moxie, is free to roam our house all day and she sleeps in our son's room at night in her doggie bed. We don't mind dogs on our furniture or in any room, but can also provide separation or crating if desired.
About: I’ve been fostering cats and dogs with humane rescue society for over six years. These fosters are long commitments until they are adopted. Love and attention are most important for our fluffy friends! We are WFH and work schedule is very flexible. We have plenty of time at home, offer 3-4 long walks (at least half an hour each) per day. We walk them upon dropping off and prior to picking up to make it easier and more convenient to you. We also take them to a nearby tennis court to play fetch and adjust walking based on the dog’s energy level. We set a maximum number of dogs we can host one time depending on the size, age of the dogs and how much we know about them. We may also lower the price for a less energetic or smaller dog. We have two loving cats who can be separated in a room if needed. We will spend quality time with your pets to keep them active and healthy. We will be providing food and water according to their needs and schedule, ensuring their sleeping environment is safe and cozy.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 12 years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping a consistent routine. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. While I’m new to Rover, I’m excited to provide the same loving care I gave my own dog. I recently graduated and currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and most days of the week. I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pet and can accommodate their individual routine, whether that means morning or evening walks, frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, or plenty of attention and cuddles. Since I’m not working a traditional full-time schedule, I can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I’m able to provide pets with plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I live in a three-story townhouse with my mom and brother, who both love dogs, and we have a fenced backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and medications if needed. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in their own home and will always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: Able to care for new puppies and provide crate training if needed. Proficient in training dogs for multiple commands. Able to provide crates, toys, and sleep beds if needed. Available for pickups and drop-offs at any time. Over 5 years for caring for pet at home. Family work from home and able to accommodate variable schedules. Wide range of drop off and pick up times allowed. Fenced in backyard to allow plenty of outdoor time for pets as needed. Able to care for dogs with special needs. Pets sleep in dog bed at night. Crates are only necessary for dogs that are potty training or that require special needs at night or during the day. Crates can be provided at owner's request.
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.
“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 :).”
“Isabella was fantastic with Molly! You could tell she genuinely cared and Molly had such a great time playing with her dog Luffy. Thank you for taking great care of Molly and making this an easy experience!”
“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
About: My interest in dogs started 5 years when I became a dog musher in the winters! Then I signed up as a weekly volunteer with my local dog shelter. And I take the shelter dogs on fun field trips (hikes, parks, canoeing on the potomac- you name it)! I don't have pets of my own so my time is dedicated fully to other people's dogs and cats. I also work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will make sure I understand you and your dog's needs, and work together as a team and your dog has a super fun adventure and time will fly!
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Over the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with rescue organizations, fostering puppies as young as 1–2 weeks old. This has involved full-time care- feeding, socialization, basic training, and monitoring their health - until they are ready for their forever homes. Because I’ve cared for so many dogs at different stages of life, I’m very attentive to routines, diet needs, medical instructions, and behavior changes. I’m calm, patient, and confident handling shy, energetic, or anxious dogs, and I make sure each pet feels secure and comfortable from the moment they arrive. Safety and communication are extremely important to me. I follow owners’ instructions closely, maintain a clean and structured environment, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. Whether it's a puppy, an adult dog, or a senior with special needs, I’m committed to giving every animal the same level of care and consistency I give my own. My wife (a full-time homemaker) and I ensure that your furry family member is never left alone while staying with us. One of us is always home, providing constant supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their visit. Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced, secure play area and 2–3 walks per day. We live on 2 acres of land with plenty of open space for safe exploration and exercise, along with an 11,000 sq. ft. home that provides ample room for your pet to relax and feel comfortable.

“William has been fantastic with our very energetic puppy! Highly recommend him for dogs of all ages! We always appreciate the detailed note and pictures after every visit!”
“Kyrstin did an excellent job dog walking my dog, Baloo. She took the time to get to know him and made it easier for Baloo to trust her. She let him pick his walks which is what he loves to do. She was attentive and professional and I would recommend her to others.”
“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!”
“Angela was amazing and was able to accommodate a super short request as I was unable to walk my dogs due to illness. She is wonderful with my big enthusiastic dog who loves to walk and also my slow old lady dog who walks exceedingly slow. All of my animals loved her.”
“Danny is so kind and caring with our 10 month old puppy and makes sure he gets all the love, care, and walks he needs. He is very attentive and flexible to the dog’s needs and so communicative with us.”
“Laura is amazing!!!! She walked my skittish labradoodle, and it was clear my dog was fully at ease with Laura. She was timely, communicated well, and sent photos. Would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Our dogs love Helena! She is very kind, caring, and punctual. Our dogs loves Helena’s warm personality and they greet her with lots of love. Our little cavapoo Whitney is typically fearful and a little anxious at times. Whitney has quickly warmed up to Helena and not as anxious doing the transfer of leash at the door. Thank you so much Helena for your love, care and patience you give our fur babies.”
About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!

About: I have grown up with dogs big and small as well as my own cat. I’ve been taking care of dogs & cats since high school and into college. I specialize in dog walking and cat check ins during the morning and afternoon. Im currently very part time and am very flexible with what hours you may need from me. I am available everyday from 11:45 on till 5pm. I am available some weekends upon request. I have a car for reliable transportation whether you would like a neighborhood walk for you dog or if you would prefer a walk in the park etc. I will always make sure your pets safety is my first priority, water always filled, fed, happy and a good leg stretch.
About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.
About: I have done dog sitting and cat sitting since I was in high school and have always enjoyed it whenever I did it and would like to do it more often! I work for a catering company over the summer so my schedule varies and don't have a set work schedule, it just depends on the week! I have an invisible fence at my house and have no actually fence around my house! My family takes our dog out on leash when she goes out!

“Rachel was great with Frank! He really loved her and seemed so happy while I was away. She was very communicative and sent me lots of updates which I appreciated! I would gladly send Frank to her again in the future!”
“Had a great experience with Dave! Very friendly and accommodating. Flexible on drop off/pickup times. Has crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Dogs came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we were looking for.”
“We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”
“Natalie watches our toy poodle when we are traveling. She takes great care of him and sends very cute pictures. She is also very flexible when our plans change. It’s such a comfort knowing that our dog is being taken care of so well.”
“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!”
“Anne and family were great with our dog. She was very easy to communicate with, has a great house with a fenced in backyard, nice neighborhood, and parks nearby, etc. Her own dog was adorable and got along well with our high-energy 2-year old dog. We never know about how our dog will get along since, although he is quite friendly, he does have a lot of energy and loves a lot of running, chasing, etc. We had various special instructions for feeding, walking, playing, and the like, and Anne was great in taking care of those requests. We appreciated getting pictures and updates and we highly recommend.”
“Tracey and her family are the absolute best! Excellent communication, timely updates and a willingness to adapt to schedule changes. They took amazing care of my dog Emge - truly a home away from home. Will be booking again :)”
“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.”
“Highly recommend! We had a very last minute cancellation by our dog sitter for Jeb on the morning of a trip out of town. Very lucky that we found Shahan - she replied right away and was able to take our buddy Jeb with only 2 hours of advance notice! Shoham has a large fenced in backyard, great for pups to get their exercise. She also provided walks and kept me updated on Jeb throughout the weekend. You can tell she is very good with dogs because Jeb was very relaxed when we arrived, and took the time to introduce him to the other dogs visiting to make sure everything was OK. We will definitely be using Shoham again for future doggie visits!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Chris was great with Moose for in-house stay! He anticipated us at drop-off and pick-up, was open to providing personal reference before booking, followed directions well, and sent several video updates daily. His house has a large fenced yard that Moose enjoyed. Moose was walked several times per day and clearly had a relaxing vacation with Chris. Would book again!”
“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Ron and Loki took care of my dog Alfie for the weekend while I dropped off my oldest for college. Knowing Alfie was in good hands and getting his pictures everyday from Ron really eased everyone’s stress for the whole weekend. Thank you so much! Thank you also for being flexible and understanding of a later pickup at night (almost 9!) - traffic was awful in some parts of the drive home.”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Cindy was great with Murphy. Friendly, easy to communicate, We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”
“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”
