Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woodspring
“Fantastic time was had by all! Brianna is a warm soul who knows dogs, detailed, and observant! I looked forward to her message updates and pictures of the pups while i was away on a trip.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
“Adrienne went above and beyond for us during an extended trip, even picking up our custom dog food order when we forgot to leave enough for the pups during their stay. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my little girl! I felt completely at ease being away because she truly put her heart and soul into the visit. Will definitely be bringing my girl back for another stay as she had SO much fun and received SO much love!”
“Chris & Gerry are simply THE BEST! I couldn’t say enough great things about them. So many beautiful updates every day while on vacation with heartwarming messages and adorable pics of our little Lexi. I was completely relaxed my entire vacation knowing Lexi was in such great hands! Can’t thank you enough!”
“Karen was truly AMAZING, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! This was our first time ever leaving our two-year-old pups, Ziggy and Ellie, with anyone, and we were going to be away for a very long trip. Naturally, we were nervous, but from the very beginning, Karen made the entire process feel seamless and immediately helped put our minds at ease. Before our meet and greet, I let Karen know that our schnauzer, Ziggy, can be protective when meeting someone new. Karen knew exactly how to approach the situation and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear right away that she is experienced with dogs and genuinely understands and cares about them. While we were away, Karen treated Ziggy and Ellie as if they were her own. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos, which meant more to us than she probably realizes. Being so far away from them for the first time was difficult, and seeing their faces and knowing they were happy, safe, and being loved gave us so much peace of mind. Unfortunately, both of our dogs became sick while we were gone, which meant a lot of extra work, cleanup, and special attention. Karen never hesitated. She went above and beyond to care for them and even had to take Ellie to the veterinarian. At times, we had limited phone service while traveling, and Karen helped communicate with the vet and made sure we stayed informed and Ellie received the care she needed. Having someone we could trust to handle such a stressful situation while we were so far away was absolutely invaluable. Karen exceeded every expectation we had. She wasn't simply a pet sitter—she became someone we completely trusted with two very important members of our family. Knowing that Ziggy and Ellie were being cared for with so much patience, compassion, and love allowed us to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about them. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for everything Karen did for Ziggy and Ellie and for us. We came home to two pups who had clearly been very loved and well cared for. We would trust Karen with them again without hesitation and feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you, Karen, for loving and caring for Ziggy and Ellie like they were your own. ❤️🐾”
“Dorian is wonderful! I have already booked to use him again. He has a routine with the dogs that is so attentive and reliable. He is extremely responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling.”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“We had a great experience with Rebecca! She took wonderful care of our Labrador, Lexi, over a busy holiday weekend, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Lexi was well cared for the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I felt very at ease leaving Diesel with Frances! Diesel had plenty of safe space to play and went for walks. He went on a short trip to Belle Island. Frances also gave him his daily medicine. And I loved the picture she sent me. With her background I was pretty sure she could handle my guy. I will definitely recommend Frances to others. Diesel looks forward to staying again with his new buddy! ”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She takes our puppy Gary almost every week while I'm at work. She's so flexible with drop off and pick up times, and is always willing to work with me. We're so lucky she's close by!”
“May and Ally were excellent sitters for our two dogs while we went away on vacation. They are warm and welcoming everytime we interacted and my dogs were accepted into their family with open arms. We received multiple photos per day of their activities and were notified if anything came up. Thank you Nat and Ally for taking such wonderful care of my dogs we will definitely use you again when we're need to board our dogs.”
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Sneha did a great job taking care of our Cavapoo Charlie while we were away. I could easily tell how happy he was with Sneha when we picked him up. Also, we forgot something at Sneha’s when we picked Charlie and went back to get it, Charlie made is amply clear that he loved seeing Sneha and wanted to jump out of the car to play with her.”

About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am a Graduate student, but I manage to take six- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.

About: I have been raised around and caring for cats since I was a kid, which has helped me develop a lifetime of affection and gentle care for kitties of all kinds. I am dedicated to a truly attentive, comforting approach, whether that means allowing a shy cat to set the pace of our friendship, providing gentle companionship to a sweet senior, or administering medications to special needs cats with a calm, reassuring touch. To me, looking after your cat is a devoted partnership rooted in experience, warmth, and respect for their unique personality and routine.
“Alex was incredible! She was extremely professional and always on time. She sent us detailed communication and photos which made all of our hearts happy. She went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats and I couldn’t be happier we chose her to look after them. We would absolutely book her again. She was wonderful.”
“Samantha was amazing, very friendly and reliable. Check ins were on time, and communication was great. Ollie was taken great care of, would absolutely use her in the future.”

“Always so thankful for Hillary taking such good care of our pet when away. She is dependable and responsive and always makes me feel at ease when having to leave our pet.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and worked as a professional pet sitter for over 3 years. I can’t wait to meet your sweet animals! At the moment, I am currently only available on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) but can be available some evenings as well upon request (6pm-9pm). My dog is leashed or on a lead while outdoors as my property is not currently fenced. She requires lots of exercise so we live a very active lifestyle.
“We appreciate Elspeth's help in taking care of our chocolate lab Ziggy while we were on a day trip. She is an excellent communicator and very conscientious, and it was clear she did a fine job taking care of Ziggy's needs for a potty break, food, and play. She will be our go-to sitter whenever she's available.”
“We booked Sara to drop in to feed our cats while we were away for a few days. She was great about checking in on time and communicating any concerns she had with us. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well cared for while we were away!”
“Valerie was wonderful! The app shows she was timely and she sent updates as well as the cutest pics of them enjoying their time together. We will definitely book with Valerie again.”
About: I've raised 2 daughters to adulthood and 7 cats over the years. I've dog sat for neighbors and answered local ads for sitting/walks. I have experience giving cats medicine and cleaning up messes.I love animals! I'm currently a stay home Mom looking for a flexible income while getting excerise and being my own boss. I use to own a business so I'm organized, responsible and dependable. I currently have 2 cats who I feed daily, one gets medicine mixed into her dinner wet food and she's on a diet. My other cat is free fed dry food all day because she has a fast metabolism and is a perfect weight, plus she gets wet food for dinner. Their litter boxes get cleaned every other day. So, I'm use to special feeding needs of fur babies.
“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodspring
About: What sets me apart is the genuine compassionate care I bring to ensuring your pet feels completely safe, loved, and understood while you are away. I focus on creating a gentle, stress-free environment tailored entirely to your furry friends’ comforting daily routines. Beyond dogs and cats, I have specialized experience with the delicate needs of small animals like rabbits, and would be more than happy to care for pets of any size! I am a recent GW grad and I have a very flexible schedule. Aside from doing occasional tutoring sessions throughout the week, I am home for the majority of the day and have the time to dedicate myself to taking care of your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own space, my primary goal is to maintain their established routine exactly as they know it to minimize anxiety. When a pet stays with me, they are welcomed into a structured, highly supervised, and pet-safe environment designed to feel like a second home. I love all animals and want to make them feel safe in any environment!
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with childhood dogs (Lab and a Scottish Terrier) and love all animals! I'm the go-to dog sitter for both family and neighbors as we have lots of extra room in our house and hearts, along with a fenced in yard. I can't wait to treat your baby like my own! I love to cater to your dogs needs! Whether that's a game of fetch in the back yard, going for a long walk, meeting new friends at my neighborhood dog park, or hanging out on the couch, I'm just happy to have them around! My husband works from home and can let your fur baby outside as needed and keep them company. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly cat at home. He keeps to himself for the most part. I also have two children who love to play with and respect animals as much as I do!
“I don't normally leave reviews... however... my labradoodle had a BLAST! The property is beautiful and very well kept and clean... Dan and his wife are totally awesome, caring and super attentive to my dog's needs. I was worry-free the entire day. I would highly recommend Dan for your pup's needs.”

About: I have experience with very shy and reserved dogs to dogs with more personality than sense! I've worked with many different breeds, from doxins and Jack Russels to boxers, Staffies, and St Bernards, and dogs of all ages. I have experience with senior dogs, and dogs with many health issues, including seizures, surgery recovery, and dogs that need LOTS of medication. Whether they are clingy couch potatoes or would rather have their space, I have had them in my house! I currently work full time, but with a hybrid schedule, and would be able to be fully available for your pets when working from home and weekends. I have a fenced in yard with grass and lots of things to explore and observe. No other dogs in the house currently. Plenty of windows if your dog likes to supervise their surroundings, and plenty of dog toys and room to play inside. If your dog prefers smaller areas, the house is easily sectioned off for safe spaces to decompress, and there is room for a crate if that is what they want/need. Lots of walking trails through the neighborhood and woods for adventures.
“Jennifer is so wonderful with our puppy Gary! Gary is so excited to rush inside to see her in the morning when we drop him off. Jennifer is great about sending pictures all day of Gary playing and walking and meeting other dogs. She is flexible about drop off and pick up times, and is super easy to work with. All in all, we couldn't ask for more in a Rover sitter!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs for many years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule! Getting out to walk throughout the day helps break up the day for me and your pup! I have a fenced in backyard and a 3 year old lab! I have a 5ft x 8ft kennel indoors and also have a few various size crates that I can use or you can bring your own! Dogs would only be crated/in the kennel to sleep (if needed) or if I am not home.
About: I have a certificate as a vet assistant. I also have lots of experience dog sitting and even have a pet rabbit. I have taken care of younger dogs, as well as older dogs. I will be continuing my education to become a veterinary technician! I care and love on your animals! I would love to be there for your animals and provide the care and love that they need!!! I do not have a fenced yard, and I currently have a bunny too. So it would be better to be at your home or if needed I can keep them at my house and can be caged if needed to be.
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
“This was Jax's first time with Nat and Ally and it was fantastic. They kept me updated most of the day with very fun-loving photos of the other dogs playing...Jax was smiling in every photo or just chillin'. The icing on the cake was the family's son handing me a drawing of Jax's name in big beautiful letters. I will definitely be sending Jax here again! :)”
“We’ve had a fantastic experience with Sneha for daycare twice this week. Pepper had a wonderful time and came back wiped from playing. Sneha provided great video and photo updates and was incredibly flexible with timing. I even know specifically how Pepper gets along with cats now (all parties were chill with one another). I would enthusiastically recommend Sneha to others in need of this service.”

About: My experience and education ensures the safety of animals of varying temperament levels and backgrounds. I enjoy the process of building trust and confidence with animals through approved training methods/mental enrichment activities and using non verbal cues in a playful and meaningful way. Because I don't own any pets of my own I'm able to assist pet owners when they're away from home. I often accept requests up to 3 months ahead of time but, if possible, I will accept same day requests. Many clients value how I communicate and ask if I'm a trainer (I'm not certified yet) because I handle animals so well. You can expect detailed observational updates twice a day accompanied with photos and videos.

I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
“Excellent service. Very personable at meet and greet. The puppies warmed up to her quickly. She was punctual and did a great job walking both dogs. Will use her services again.”

“Fantastic time was had by all! Brianna is a warm soul who knows dogs, detailed, and observant! I looked forward to her message updates and pictures of the pups while i was away on a trip.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
“Karen was truly AMAZING, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! This was our first time ever leaving our two-year-old pups, Ziggy and Ellie, with anyone, and we were going to be away for a very long trip. Naturally, we were nervous, but from the very beginning, Karen made the entire process feel seamless and immediately helped put our minds at ease. Before our meet and greet, I let Karen know that our schnauzer, Ziggy, can be protective when meeting someone new. Karen knew exactly how to approach the situation and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear right away that she is experienced with dogs and genuinely understands and cares about them. While we were away, Karen treated Ziggy and Ellie as if they were her own. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos, which meant more to us than she probably realizes. Being so far away from them for the first time was difficult, and seeing their faces and knowing they were happy, safe, and being loved gave us so much peace of mind. Unfortunately, both of our dogs became sick while we were gone, which meant a lot of extra work, cleanup, and special attention. Karen never hesitated. She went above and beyond to care for them and even had to take Ellie to the veterinarian. At times, we had limited phone service while traveling, and Karen helped communicate with the vet and made sure we stayed informed and Ellie received the care she needed. Having someone we could trust to handle such a stressful situation while we were so far away was absolutely invaluable. Karen exceeded every expectation we had. She wasn't simply a pet sitter—she became someone we completely trusted with two very important members of our family. Knowing that Ziggy and Ellie were being cared for with so much patience, compassion, and love allowed us to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about them. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for everything Karen did for Ziggy and Ellie and for us. We came home to two pups who had clearly been very loved and well cared for. We would trust Karen with them again without hesitation and feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you, Karen, for loving and caring for Ziggy and Ellie like they were your own. ❤️🐾”
“Dorian is wonderful! I have already booked to use him again. He has a routine with the dogs that is so attentive and reliable. He is extremely responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling.”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“We had a great experience with Rebecca! She took wonderful care of our Labrador, Lexi, over a busy holiday weekend, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Lexi was well cared for the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I felt very at ease leaving Diesel with Frances! Diesel had plenty of safe space to play and went for walks. He went on a short trip to Belle Island. Frances also gave him his daily medicine. And I loved the picture she sent me. With her background I was pretty sure she could handle my guy. I will definitely recommend Frances to others. Diesel looks forward to staying again with his new buddy! ”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She takes our puppy Gary almost every week while I'm at work. She's so flexible with drop off and pick up times, and is always willing to work with me. We're so lucky she's close by!”
“May and Ally were excellent sitters for our two dogs while we went away on vacation. They are warm and welcoming everytime we interacted and my dogs were accepted into their family with open arms. We received multiple photos per day of their activities and were notified if anything came up. Thank you Nat and Ally for taking such wonderful care of my dogs we will definitely use you again when we're need to board our dogs.”
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Sneha did a great job taking care of our Cavapoo Charlie while we were away. I could easily tell how happy he was with Sneha when we picked him up. Also, we forgot something at Sneha’s when we picked Charlie and went back to get it, Charlie made is amply clear that he loved seeing Sneha and wanted to jump out of the car to play with her.”
“Kathleen and her family were great! They always take good care of our Blue and the girls are so loving with her! We love getting our daily updates and they made sure to let us know if there was anything going on with our girl. They were super flexible when we were delayed with our flight which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely use them again, thanks Kathleen!!”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Justin and Kacy were fantastic with lil Rob. This was our first time leaving him with someone for an extended stay and they did great. They provided updates daily along with pictures and made sure he got the attention he craved. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Greyson had a great time with Elspeth and her two pups. Elspeth was very accommodating with Greyson's needs and schedule and ensured he was well taken care of. We had a positive experience.”
