“Natalia and Edward are fantastic! I’ve used them twice now and have nothing but positive things to say! They’re great about sending daily updates. I will for sure use again!”
“Timmy came home happy! Chris was awesome. He followed all of our guidance and pampered Timmy too! Sent lots of great photos and videos and was very responsive to our needs.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Cal and Kelly went above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was away. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease with their warm communication and attention to detail. They sent daily updates, along with the most amazing videos and pictures that truly captured my dog’s happiness and comfort. I could tell they genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her like their own. Their dogs were very friendly and loving. Their dedication and love for animals are clear, and I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. I would 100% recommend Cal and Kelly to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters. They’re simply the best!”
“My 2 pups had a great boarding experience. I was updated regularly with messages and pictures. They came back happy and healthy. I hope to be able to book with you again for future stays!”
“Bria and her husband were very pleasant. I had a last-minute trip and we didn’t want to take our dog in the car for that long, so she was a lifesaver! And great communication and very close to my home, so I look forward to booking again. She has a full house with all pups of various sizes and breeds and I was nervous, but he got along with all of them and she checked in 2 to 3 times a day with an update. I will remember to bring his water bottle for his crate next time since he’s usually very thirsty and drank a lot when he got home”
“Finnegan just loves staying with his Rover Family - they are the best dog sitters ever! Fozzie has become Finnegan’s buddy and playmate, and Finnegan is looking forward to more visits this summer!”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.
“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!”
“It’s Nigel’s third stay with Masha & family. Knowing Nigel is under their care gives me total peace of mind. Masha & fam is definitely my first choice for Nigel’s home away from home.”
“Our dog Emmy enjoyed her second stay with Sophia while we were in CA. We can relax while on vacation knowing our pup is happy and enjoying her time with Sophia and the other pups. Sophia really understands dogs and even worked on Emmy’s training. Emmy came home even better behaved! We loved the daily pictures while on vacation.”
“Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!”
“FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! Highly recommend! We chose Sriju, in part, based on other excellent reviews...and she did not disappoint! From our first communications and introductory meeting before we left our 11mo Goldendoodle with her, Sriju was welcoming, gentle, extremely responsive, organized, completely accommodating, and loving. This was our first time leaving Benny with someone else (we were away six days) so we were already a bit on edge; Sriju put us at ease immediately. Everyday while we were gone Sriju sent texts and pictures (usually once in AM and once in PM). She took Benny on numerous walks throughout the day as well as to the dog park. She adjusted to his needs, not the other way around, and provided an atmosphere that made Benny completely comfortable, as evidenced by his affection toward her when it was time to pick him up upon our return. We highly recommend Sriju and can't thank her enough for making our Benny feel at home while we were away...and giving us the peace of mind we needed to truly enjoy our trip. THANK YOU, Sriju!”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“Joe loves his stays with Josh and Andres! He’s always so excited to see them. We have piece of mind knowing that Joe is always well cared for when he stays with them.”
“Maria and Fernando are excellent caretakers. Another great visit - they were patient and caring when my pup had some thunderstorm anxiety. We appreciate you!”

“Julia is the best! Thanks so much for taking care of our cat while we had our wedding. Even extended it to the night before last minute and she was able to start the visit early.”
“Hazel has been great help for our busy family and taking care of Max our fur baby. Super punctual and flexible and communicative. Max sure enjoys his walks with her. Thank you Hazel 🙏🏻”
“Sarah was amazing with Miso! Dropped by every day and gave my sweet girl all the attention she deserved. She also took some amazing pictures of her to send to me! Will definitely book again next time I’m out of town. Thanks Sarah 🫶🏽”
“My experience with Leah was wonderful! She promptly responded to my initial request and we scheduled a Meet and Greet at my home. She showed obvious knowledge of animals and asked pertinent questions about caring for my cats. While I was gone I received daily check-ins through the Rover app with several pictures. It was clear that my cats were comfortable with her, and enjoyed her petting! My kitchen was left very clean. I am very pleased to have found Leah and highly recommend her services.”
“I am so happy to have found Alex as our pet sitter. We are able to go away knowing our cats are left in the best of hands. She is prompt, professional and takes the cutest pix of them when she visits. Thank you Alex!”
“This is my second time booking with Ruby. As always, she did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was out of town. She also took some precautions due to Covid, which I appreciated.”
“This is the second time I have booked Ariana to care for our now 10 year old cats who require more care. She has been the only cat sitter who has been able to get one of our cats to come out of hiding during a drop in visit. She sent photos everyday and was prompt and flexible in returning texts about care. I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Neesa came to our meet and greet with prepared questions! Our anxious dog immediately warmed up to her, and she was able to read his body language easily. She sent plenty of cute videos and pictures during her drop ins!”
“Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!”
“Cathy does a terrific job of taking care of our three elderly cats. In addition to their feeding, cleanup and play time, she talks with us about new ideas for getting medicine into Mischa, encouraging the three cats to eat, and managing the work that comes with keeping a three cat house fresh and tidy! She is timely, reliable and genuine! Thanks so much, Cathy!”
“Great communicator and totally understands the assignment. I felt very comfortable knowing that Alissa was handling things with my two cats while was away. She's clearly an animal person.”
About: I have a deep love and understanding for cats—their quiet moods, their independence, and the little ways they ask for love. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to seniors needing a gentle touch. I’ll scoop litter, refresh water, feed on schedule, give medications if needed, and spend time offering play or quiet companionship, depending on what your cat enjoys. Whether your kitty is shy, cuddly, or curious, I’ll respect their rhythm and make sure they feel calm and safe while you’re away.
“We love Melissa, but I don’t want to tell the world how great she is, or she’ll get harder to book! She treats our older dogs like her own! We see a real love for her on our dog’s faces.”
“Jeannie is simply the best cat sitter, hands down. We knew immediately during the meet and greet that she was going to do a fantastic job with our cat, Nico, who has some health issues. She did not disappoint. We had a list of instructions and she did everything as we asked, which has not happened in the past. She was very kind and nurturing with Nico and we feel 100% comfortable leaving her in Jeannie's hands. We cannot recommend Jeannie highly enough. She's the real deal and we are extremely happy with her and her care.”
About: My experience with cats includes both ownership and fostering. I cared for a foster cat with FeLV and have experience administering medication, maintaining litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing daily care. I understand that every cat has different comfort levels and preferences, and I take the time to ensure they feel secure and relaxed while maintaining their usual routine.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sandy Spring
“Lauren was great with Osito! She was very responsive and had great communication. She sent all the pics and updates as requested and took such great care of Osito. Osito even made himself right at home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Joe came home happy and exhausted (in a good way!) from his daycare stay. Josh and Andres communicated often and were responsive throughout Joe’s stay. We’re so glad to find trustworthy people so close to our home to look after Joe. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve cared for and lived with dogs of all kinds for the past 15 years! Friends and neighbors have asked me to care for their pets. Your pup will join up with mine for a day of chase, catch, and zoomies in our huge fenced yard. Potty breaks, treats, and rest time in between. :) I have a fenced yard. My playful puppy sleeps in her crate, naps on the couch, and eats in the kitchen. We have lots of indoor and outdoor toys.
“Sparky had a great day with Maria and Fernando, and is looking forward to many more days to come! They are excellent caregivers with really beautiful and well designed facilities for dog care. Thank you for the warm welcome and all the pics of my happy dog.”
“Ebot responded to my booking request quickly & was also very polite with his communications. Jäger didn’t finish his two days booked with him. I don’t think it was a great fit for Jäger & think ebot would do best caring for dogs who don’t mind being crated and are smaller in size who also don’t mind being left. Apparently my dog displayed anxious behaviors he has never displayed before in his 4 years of rover daycares but I think it just wasn’t the best fit. Love ebot’s energy & personality though & wish him the best of luck! I think he’ll do great with other pups”
“I was a bit nervous leaving Lexa after an unpleasant previous experience with a Rover stay, but Jeannie was wonderful! She took my very active husky on several walks, but was conscious of the hot weather and kept them short. I received a bunch of pictures and updates, which kept me calm. She has a very calm demeanor that allowed my dog to relax and just hang out. I will definitely be rebooking!!”
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.
“Cal is INCREDIBLE! Our dog is very anxious and he immediately understood her and provided her with such warmth and support. We trust him and he is great with dogs. Also, great with communication and sends us the cutest pictures of our girl having a good time! We are so grateful”
“I left my puppy Law for Day Care with Erika and Franklin. They took great care of law from sun up til sun down. They were able follow instructions to a T, responded quickly, asked questions and provided photos throughout the day as requested. Definitely would recommend!”
“Sharon took great care of my dog, Beanie! We have been with Sharon for the past 3 years now and she has been awesome with day care and overnight care. Thank you Sharon!!”
“What a incredible experience! So grateful to have met Robyn and her family. Her home was the perfect setting for my Mocha very kind and caring people and Zelda & Navi and chilren was 4 extra bonuses Mocha got to experience as well. Couldn't have gotten a better outcome! Mocha will definitely be coming back :)”
About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family since I was 10. I'm very good with animals. When I’m boarding, I try to prioritize your dog or cats wants and/or needs over mine. And try to make it seem like a vacation for them. I live with my father, and my brothers and sisters. We all love animals but don’t have any of our own. So your furry friend is getting the most attention and affection from me and everyone else in the house. I have a backyard to play in (unfortunately not fenced in) and very long walking path near my house. Live right by a creek with paths all around. Dogs love it. Weather I'm taking care of your dog at my house or at yours, he or she has my full undevided attention.
“Jaemin and his wife are so kind. They took my two girls as a last-minute booking and they had so much fun. They loved their backyard the most, and I could tell they received lots of affection. My dogs will be begging me to bring them back to them.”
About: I'm excited to have your furry friend over and will give them all the TLC they deserve while sticking to their regular schedules. I've been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of our family dog, Lucky, since he was a puppy up until he passed away due to old age at 17 years. I now have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Sumi, and a 10 year old cat, Ellie. Sumi was a rescue mill mama and was extremely fearful. With patience and love, she's finally come out of her shell. I've managed to teach both the dog and the cat tricks and work on training with them daily. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am home most of the day. I'll stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to so there won't be any confusion when they return to you. Our neighborhood is pretty large and also has a walking trail, so walks can be as short or long as you'd like. There's a dog friendly space downstairs with plenty of room to run around and play with toys, or if they prefer to chill, there's plenty of pet beds and blankets in the living room. I have a very chill and friendly Shiba Inu and Husky/Shepherd mix at home that can keep your dog company. I do have a cat that has their own room and can be separated if your dog doesn't get along with cats. I also have a large crate and two pens available if that's something you're used to doing. Baby gates are set up between each floor, but are usually left open for my dog. There are cameras on each floor so that I can keep an eye on the pets if I'm leaving the home or on a different floor.
“Joy and Rodney have done an excellent job with my dog Zeus. Zeus has separation anxiety and can be difficult since it takes him a bit to warm up to other people. But they way they handled him and made him comfortable so soon after taking him made it obvious that they have tons of experience working with all kinds of dogs. They sent me funny videos, pictures, and updates throughout the day and Zeus had an absolute blast. Will certainly be reaching out for their help again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Sandy Spring
About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.
“Sarah is amazing! Cooper can be iffy with new people and by the 2nd walk he didn’t even bark when she came in and was just excited to see her :) she took so many pictures to share and he was very happy in every one. Will absolutely book her again”
“Nicole was great! We'll definitely use her again. Our big boy loved her and we loved how she gave him a good long walk everyday while we were on vacation. My parents loved her too - she was reliable and very nice.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always been actively involved in caring for them. I currently have three dogs of my own that I regularly walk, bathe, play with, and care for daily. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable working with a variety of breeds, including bulldogs and pit bulls. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love making dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am a college student who just got back from college so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am willing to fit to your needs for your fur baby. At my clients home I will play with the dog as advised. If there is a fenced yard I will spend the day outside playing with the dog. If there is no fence we will go on walks and relax within the home.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.
About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Boxer, along with a grumpy cat. At present, we have Kody (a red fox Labrador) and Alfie (a mix of various breeds). I’ve been walking, loving, and feeding dogs all my life. Other areas of my experience include walking and dog-sitting for my neighbors' dogs for about 5 years. During COVID, my family started fostering various types of dogs, which has undoubtedly increased my experience with a diverse range of breeds and ages. While I have the most experience with larger dogs over 60 pounds, I also love my smaller furry friends! I'm currently on summer break, which allows me to care for pets full-time and maintain a very flexible schedule throughout the week. My only regular commitment is attending virtual classes in the evenings, so outside of that, your pets are my main priority. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring your animals receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. With my own dogs, I start the day around 8:30–9:00 a.m. with a walk and breakfast. They go outside again around noon, get another walk in the afternoon around 3–4 p.m., eat dinner around 7:00 p.m., and go out again before a final walk around 11:00 p.m. Throughout the day, I spend time playing with them and providing enrichment to keep them happy and mentally stimulated. When caring for a client's pet, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and following all care instructions closely. With seven years of pet-sitting experience, three years of fostering, and experience administering medication to both dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs and personalities. I pay close attention to behavior, ensure pets are safe and comfortable, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: To this day I am shocked by and grateful for how much love and joy our pets, Ovie and Ashe, bring into our home. I know that being away from them is never easy, so it is my goal to provide your pet with the care and adventure they expect, and to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding throughout the week and look forward to excuse for some more time outdoors. I have a nice yard on a quiet street. While our yard is unfenced, your fur-friend will never be unsupervised. Inside our home we have two friendly dogs to keep yours entertained. We love being outside and have nearby walking paths and trails accessible for tons of sights, sounds, and smells!
About: My family and I have always had cats and dogs growing up. Our pets are family! As a mom to 2 young kids, I am unable to put the time and care into a doggie of my own … so I need YOURS to love up on! I am a preschool teacher and off for the summer so I am available and flexible! Other than dropping/picking up my kids from camp, I’m free! I have a fantastic path right behind my house that I always walked / would walk my dogs, if your baby stays with me. I am also happy to visit your pup(s) at their home and have them show me around their neighborhood! Anything to make your doggo happy, is what I want :)
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I had my own dog for 9 years who recently passed away, and I truly treated him like my baby. I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’m patient, responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention and care. I’m available most afternoons/evenings during the week and have more open availability on weekends for drop-ins and walks!! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow feeding and potty schedules, keep a close eye during playtime, and make sure pets are supervised. I provide frequent updates, and I treat every pet like my own.
“Gianna started walking my dog weekly about a month ago. I went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to hire someone given my dog’s reactivity on walks. I could not be happier with our choice to have Gianna!! She is responsible, communicative, patient and kind. My dog is noticeably happier when I get home, and it feels like a huge weight is off our shoulders to know he is being cared for by someone who cares for and loves him like I do. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: From doing grooming and farm chores at a horse rescue and watching neighborhood dogs to raising my own terrier, I’ve gained experience with a wide variety of different breeds, sizes, ages and species. Need someone to look after your dog or farmsit while you’re away? Got an exotic pet, goat, sheep, horse or dog you need a sitter for? No problem! I delight in caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Almost all species and breeds are welcome here. I can also come to your farm or stable for horses and livestock animals. Note that I cannot take cats due to cat allergies. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Dogs will be walked daily and will have free access to a large, fully fenced in yard. I can come to your house for any farm animals or exotics. I have a large fenced yard, plenty of pet toys and live in a suburban neighborhood filled with plenty of good parks to go for walks in. Any instructions you give as an owner will be respected and followed. Additionally, I am a private service for boarding! If you book me for your pets, then they will be guaranteed to be the only animals staying with me at the time. If I’m caring for horses or other farm animals, then I will come to your place rather than take them home. Horses will be groomed everyday as well as exercised according to your specifications.
About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.
About: I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I get my daily dose of pet cuddles by caring for my friends' pets, from an energetic 6 month old puppy to senior dogs and cats. I've always been a cat person and proudly consider myself a bit of a cat lady, but I genuinely love animals of all kinds. In college, I even brought my betta fish home with me every weekend to make sure he was well cared for. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so it's easy for me to fit pet visits into my day. Spending time with with a cuddly friend would be one of my favorite parts of the week! I also work a part time job some evenings, but with advance notice I'm flexible and happy to accommodate your pet's schedule whenever possible. I know pets thrive on routine, so I'll do my best to keep things the way they're used to. From special feeding routines to favorite toys and cuddle time, I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own.
“Melissa is wonderful! I have used her services twice. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. She is attentive and makes sure to check my dog’s water bowl. She sends me great pictures of their walks together. She gave me great peace of mind!”
“Anton has been walking our Pittie, Mihoshi, for months, and he is an excellent walker!! He’s very attentive to our pup’s behavior and communicates thoroughly. If we ever need to make adjustments, he is flexible. If he has upcoming plans, he informs us weeks in advance so we can work out the schedule together. I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a walker or sitter for your furry friend. :)”

“Natalia and Edward are fantastic! I’ve used them twice now and have nothing but positive things to say! They’re great about sending daily updates. I will for sure use again!”
“Timmy came home happy! Chris was awesome. He followed all of our guidance and pampered Timmy too! Sent lots of great photos and videos and was very responsive to our needs.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Cal and Kelly went above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was away. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease with their warm communication and attention to detail. They sent daily updates, along with the most amazing videos and pictures that truly captured my dog’s happiness and comfort. I could tell they genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her like their own. Their dogs were very friendly and loving. Their dedication and love for animals are clear, and I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. I would 100% recommend Cal and Kelly to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters. They’re simply the best!”
“My 2 pups had a great boarding experience. I was updated regularly with messages and pictures. They came back happy and healthy. I hope to be able to book with you again for future stays!”
“Bria and her husband were very pleasant. I had a last-minute trip and we didn’t want to take our dog in the car for that long, so she was a lifesaver! And great communication and very close to my home, so I look forward to booking again. She has a full house with all pups of various sizes and breeds and I was nervous, but he got along with all of them and she checked in 2 to 3 times a day with an update. I will remember to bring his water bottle for his crate next time since he’s usually very thirsty and drank a lot when he got home”
“Finnegan just loves staying with his Rover Family - they are the best dog sitters ever! Fozzie has become Finnegan’s buddy and playmate, and Finnegan is looking forward to more visits this summer!”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“It’s Nigel’s third stay with Masha & family. Knowing Nigel is under their care gives me total peace of mind. Masha & fam is definitely my first choice for Nigel’s home away from home.”
“Joe loves his stays with Josh and Andres! He’s always so excited to see them. We have piece of mind knowing that Joe is always well cared for when he stays with them.”
“Maria and Fernando are excellent caretakers. Another great visit - they were patient and caring when my pup had some thunderstorm anxiety. We appreciate you!”
“We couldn't be happier with Marylee! My lab had a great time at Marylee's place. During the two days when my dog stayed with Marylee, she kept us updated by frequently sharing my dog's pics and videos. I felt very comfortable having my dog staying with her the entire time, and I think my dog also felt very comfortable staying with her. Additionally, she kindly shared with me lots of information and dog training tips that were very helpful to me as a first-time dog owner.”
“Hermes had a long stay with Kelly, 17 days! Kelly took such good care of him including tick check and wiping his tear marks due to mild allergies. She sent me pictures and updates on Hermes on regular basis and Hermes was definitely a happy dog under her care and playing with her two lovely kids. I will book Kelly again no doubt! Thank you so much Kelly, Hermes loves all three of you!”
“Theresa was fantastic and we really appreciated her accommodating a last minute booking for Saber. She kept us well informed with daily updates and pictures and was very thorough in understanding the needs of our German Shepherd. I would definitely recommend booking with her and would love for her to watch Saber again!”
“Asher and Olivia had a wonderful time with Jason! We really appreciated Jason's frequency of communication. This was our first time boarding our puppies and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Carlos was communicative and attentive and gave us photo updates of our Dog while there. Our dog enjoyed playing with some of the other dogs that were there and enjoyed the large yard.”
