“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Hannah was amazing!! Olive came home so happy and clearly had a really incredible stay with Hannah. She made her feel comfortable and at home in a new place. We got so many adorable photos and videos that made it feel easier to be away.”
“Lori, kept our dog for the second time, for a whole week, he had a great time, and she kept us updated with pictures every day. We look forward to having kodah board with Lori for our next trip.”
“My dog loves staying with Rebeca and her family! They were able to accommodate a last minute change to the drop off time. I can tell my dog is treated like part of the family and receives great care! We look forward to booking with her again”
“Rob was great! We usually leave our pup with family but we were headed on a family vacation so we needed to find someone else. Rob made us feel comfortable about leaving her for a week and looks like she had a great time!”
“Yang kept updating me with pictures and videos. My dog loved her family and was well taken care of. He got to go for a long walk around the lake. We will ask her again whenever we are away.”
“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“I am so happy that I found Carol on Rover! She took very good care of Mickey and kept me updated with pictures while I was on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Carol to watch Mickey again!”
“Yeskia has been absolutely wonderful to my 2 year-old black lab (As a lab, yes she can be rambunctious) puppy including recently during a three-week stay!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be going back.....”
“I have a 9 year old dog named Kyah that I absolutely adore and she has never been away from the family overnight. I was very nervous about leaving her and wasn't sure how she (or I) would handle it. Luciana and her mother did such an amazing job and I cannot thank them enough! After the initial meet and greet, I scheduled a trial sleepover for 1 night right before the scheduled stay (5 nights) so that Kyah could get to know them, familiarize herself with the new surroundings, and to reinforce that I was coming back - that may have been more for my peace of mind. Luciana and her mother took such great care of Kyah. They took her for walks, adhered to her special diet and gave her medications as needed. They even took a bunch of pictures and sent them to me! There were 2 specific things that occurred and gave me ABSOLUTE COMFORT & CONFIDENCE that Kyah was well cared for. 1) When I brought Kyah over for the actual stay (after the initial trial sleepover), she noticed Luciana' mother sitting on the couch and she happily walked over and greeted her. 2) When I picked her up after being away for 6 days, she was really excited to see me AND as we were walking away to my car, Luciana's mother said goodbye to Kyah and she actually turned around, walked back over to her and said "goodbye". Both of those examples left significant impressions because my dog is pretty aloof and doesn't usually show affection to anyone other than her family. Luciana and her mother make a great team and I highly recommend them. I have already made arrangements for this summer!”
“Xiuping is an amazing and responsive dog sitter! She sent me lots of pictures and messages throughout the stay, showing how well my dog was being taken care of. This definitely set my mind at ease, knowing and seeing that my dog was having a great time with her family. Dog care instructions were followed very well and she was able to accommodate my last minute requests. I will absolutely be recommending Xiuping to my friends and will have her and her family watch my dog again!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.”
“It was our first time leaving our 1yo puppy with a new family. He spent 4 nights with her and had a great time. Nicole was very kind, very understanding of his special needs and treated him to a great adventure on a beach. Could not have asked for a better family to leave our doggie. Thank you Nicole!”
“Luke has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Murphy. This was our pup’s second stay with him, and it is clear how much he genuinely cares. Our dog loves him and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Luke communicates clearly, sends updates, and creates a welcoming environment. It gives tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is safe and enjoying his time while we are away. Highly recommend Luke for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”
“Elizabeth and Neil C. Are the best! I highly recommend them to watch your dog! They sent me videos of my dog throughout his stay with them! They are the sweetest and kindest couple! I Would definitely bring my Charlie back to them!❤️”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“Hello. This is a first-rate, dog care experience, folks. Séamus hosted my dog for a brief meet-&-greet prior to his stay, which was successful and excellent. Séamus, overall, is very thoughtful and thorough in his preparation and concern for your dog, and is an excellent communicator while you are away. Séamus is clearly a “dog person”, and it shows. There is a lovely, enclosed, safe backyard for your dog to play and stretch-legs, and, I honestly can say, …..I didn’t worry about my dog once. I received photos of my dog and also received updates periodically while I was away. Excellent service! Charlie came home happy, healthy, rested and in great spirits! A+ Thank you, Séamus”

“Caroline was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Oliver! She stepped in on very short notice and made the whole process completely stress-free. Her updates were thoughtful and consistent, and the photos she sent were fantastic — it was such a relief to see Oliver happy and well cared for while I was away. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Angela was amazing. It was our first time leaving our kitties and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using her again. From the first time we met her, to the daily check ins, she was both responsible and friendly!”
“Galina was very good taking care of my 2 cats. They are Covid kitties so they are still getting used to new people. She was very clear about their food intake and such. And went beyond to make sure they were ok.”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! He gave us picture updates and was in prompt touch when one of our kitties puked during one of his visits. Thank you for being a great pet-sitter!”
“Noila took amazing care of my two kitties for two full weeks! She sent daily pictures and videos of them playing, and included any other information about her check ins with them. She made leaving town so much less stressful! Fantastic experience.”
“Yuzhou was great! She was very attentive and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Luna is usually shy with sitters, but she warmed up to her right away — a rare sign of trust. We also came home to a sweet handwritten card. Truly grateful, and I’d definitely book her again!”
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
“Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.”
About: I've loved cats since I was a child and have cared for dozens of them over the years. This experience has helped me understand different personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. Whether a cat is playful, shy, or senior, I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Just like the first time, Jennifer has taken wonderful care of my cats. She stays in contact, always letting me know how my babies are doing amd is very accomodating. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will absolutely try to book with her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“James is the best pet sitter! He came over to meet our kitty (Finch) before we went on a 2 day vacation. I could tell right away he was an animal lover! He provided several photos, videos, and very detailed updates about his time with Finch. He made me feel so at ease! We will definitely hire him again when we go away :) highly recommend!”
“Leyna took great care of my cat Daisy! She took lots of good pictures and was also very responsive and understanding with a last minute scheduling change. I would definitely book with her again!”
“We recently moved to a new apt and needed a new sitter for our 10 year old kitty. Carol did a great job with her in all ways. Carol kept her routine and spoiled her the way we do. Our cat was relaxed and well taken care of by Carol. Highly recommend her pet services.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs most of my life and owned one for 6 years. I’ve walked dogs big and small and my own has given me great experience with reactive dogs. I once worked as a kennel attendant for a local animal hospital which gave me experience with lots of different breeds and special feeding needs. I work full time so I am available evenings during the week, and anytime on the weekends when I’m not with my own furry friend I wont be offering any in home pet care services at this time. I live in a small apartment unit with a medium size dog
About: I’ve personally only owned one cat, but I have also cared for other peoples cats. I know how to change litter boxes, feed portions (if needed), give water, bathe, and play with cats. If your kitty is adventurous, I wouldn’t mind taking them on walks either!
About: I’m a musician, violin teacher, pet sitter and dog walker. I love and respect all living beings. I grew up with pets my whole life, at some point I had 8 dogs, 4 cats and 1 duck all at the same time! I understand pets and connect with dogs so easily my husband calls me “The Dog Whisperer”. One of my dreams is to build a sanctuary for rescue dogs in the country side. I currently don’t have a yard of my own but I live near big parks, fenced playgrounds and hiking trails that I can walk to and visit with your dog. I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker and I’ll be happy to provide loving care, excercise and attention to your pet! I currently work from home and I also walk other dogs around the neighborhood. There’s days I’m home all day and others that I leave the house for an hour or two at a time to run an errand or walk a dog in the neighborhood. Having pets my whole life I’m aware of all the hazards and safety measures to take around them. I always double/triple check that the doors are locked behind me, I’m attentive and keep an eye on the pets I’m sitting. I live with family and we all look after each other. Everyone at my place loves animals and we all love having pets around!

“Belinda was amazing with Juno and helped out while I was at work for a work trip! Juno had a great time and it was amazing knowing Juno was in great care! Thank you so much!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Carol for Finley’s first-ever daycare through Rover. As a first-time daycare user, we were a bit nervous, but Carol made the entire process smooth and reassuring. She was extremely responsive both before and during Finley’s stay, answering all our questions and keeping us updated with photo and video of him playing and settling in. Carol’s calm and caring approach helped him feel comfortable and safe. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter!”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind and clearly loves animals. I received frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which really helped to ease my mind. I loved the videos watching my dog, Mylo, get to play with Marcia and Cosmo! My high-energy puppy came home happy and exhausted, which is the best compliment I can give considering Mylo’s energy level! I highly recommend Marcia to any pet owner looking for a loving and responsible sitter.”
“Hannah was great! We are new pup parents and this was the first time we left our puppy with a sitter. I really appreciated how Hannah kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, videos, and messages. I booked last minute and she was responsive and answered all my questions beforehand. I will definitely look to rebook with Hannah in the future!”
“Ying is so sweet to our pup and makes sure she has everything she needs throughout the day. We love receiving photos and updates and Ying is great with them. We will definitely be booking again!”
“My puppy had the most wonderful time. They were incredibly communicative and shared her day with me with pictures and videos. Communication was excellent and they are lovely and flexible. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been working with dogs for over five years, including dogsitting and walking through Rover, as well as hands-on experience at animal shelters. I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs, I've even cared for a 20-year-old pup! I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going at a slower pace for older dogs or providing extra comfort and care. I'm currently working remotely, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I take dogs on regular walks, at least once in the morning and once in the evening. When a dog is in my care, they truly become part of the family. Whether it's a car ride, a visit to a pet-friendly store, or a mini-hike, your pup will be by my side, enjoying the day with me. I prioritize safety, comfort, and transparency when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I'm always upfront about the environment your dog will be in, and if your dog isn’t comfortable around others, I won’t host additional pets during their stay. I’m experienced with administering medications and keeping an eye on each dog’s overall well-being, including tick checks and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll contact you right away to keep you fully informed.
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”
“Brianna was a wonderful caregiver for Enzo on a very inclement day in Andover Mass! She picked up and delivered my favorite guy in a super timely way. She sent photos and videos of Enzo which helped me feel comfortable. Brianna and her husband are lovely kind people!! Thank you for taking super great care of Enzo! Lauren💕”
“Heather (and her two adorable and fun dogs) is a godsend. My dog can be anxious and untrusting, so finding care for her where I am comfortable that she feels at ease is quite a challenge. However, she lives to go to Heather's place! Not only has Heather watched Perla over night, but I regularly take Perla to Heather's while I'm at work. I drop Perla off to Heather at least one day a week. I am so glad I don't have to depend on a doggy daycare business. Heather is very flexible with scheduling and definitely takes my dog for my walks than I do in a given day. I am very grateful for Heather and highly recommend her!”
“Another great stretch of daycare days with Likun and EL! He races to her house every morning which tells me he loves going! I can go to work knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you again!”
About: I have had a family dog for over 10 years now and have taken care of her all her life.

I will be in Massachusetts until September and am available every weekday full time for the next 10 weeks to be able to devote my time and care for your dog.

Also, I have my dogs older bed, toys, food, and treats from before she moved to New Hampshire. My bedroom is also very close to the door leading to the deck, so letting dogs out to use the bathroom in the night is quick and easy. There are stairs leading up the the home but I can easily pick up dogs that may not be able to climb them.

About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each pet's unique personality. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is very important to me. I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pet is doing, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm available for last-minute bookings whenever possible. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions. I am currently working part time and have sufficient extra time to care for your kitten or cats! My availability is before 11 am and after 1pm daily. I have an apartment with a yard to walk around within gated community if needed. Additionally, it is on the ground floor for convenience or easy access.
“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Noila was wonderful, she stepped in at the last minute to walk my dog who had gotten sick and needed to be checked on. She was super responsive to changes to the schedule and was prompt with the walk.”

Whatever you need for us to do for your pet we will make sure it gets done and they feel happy and at home whether its at your place or ours.

About: Hi! I'm Belinda and caring for your dog isn't just something I do, it's who I am! If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, pay attention to every little detail, and give you total peace of mind while you are away - you just found your person! I don't just "watch" dogs, I build trust with them. I learn their quirks, their routines, their favorite spots on the couch, and exactly how they like to be loved. Whether your pup is high energy, anxious, or a couch potato, I meet them where they are. This isn't a high volume set up. I intentionally keep things small so every dog gets the attention, patience, and consistency they need to feel completely at ease. I am able to provide a premium, one on one experience. Your dog gets my full attention, not divided care. Your pup will stay in a real home with a fully fenced back yard and even a doggie door! Whether they love to play outside or prefer lounging inside, I tailor everything to them. I already have a well socialized dog of my own, so I'm very mindful about introductions, energy levels, and group dynamics. I understand that every dog is different and I take the time to get it right. Your dog will never feel overwhelmed or overlooked, Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or extended care, I'm here to make your life easier and you dog's day better. Reach out if you have a dog with a strong personality or who is reactive, I have experience with both! And for you, total peace of mind! -frequent photo and video updates -clear communication (you'll never wonder how your dog is doing) -reliability - if I commit, I show up, every time! Clients come back to me because they can actually relax while they're away. They know their dog isn't just being cared for, they're being genuinely loved and understood. Let's set up a meet and greet! I'd love to learn about your dog and make sure it's the perfect fit. PS Senior dogs have a special place in my heart, and I'm always happy to accommodate their pace and needs, :) Caring for dogs is already a natural part of my daily life, so your dog will be seamlessly included in a structured, attentive routine-not left alone or treated as an afterthought. My day is built around potty breaks, outdoor time, and engagement. With a fully fenced in yard and a doggie door, dogs have safe and supervised access to outside time throughout the day, along with plenty of indoor comfort and companionship. When dogs stay with me, they become part of the family! I'll accommodate their feeding time, exercise needs, and sleeping habits. I have crates available if needed.
About: I have a lot of love for every pup I meet. I grow a bond with them more than most people would ever even try. I like to treat my clients dogs the way I treat my own two dogs. I would want my dogs to be taken care of as passionately as I do. I am available any day any week at any time! I have a flexible schedule because of I attend online college! Very excited to begin!! I treat them with love and respect. I do not go past boundaries by making the pet feel unsafe in any way or making them feel anxious. I like to give them time and space to adapt to me so we can become even closer in the future!

“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”

“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“I am so happy that I found Carol on Rover! She took very good care of Mickey and kept me updated with pictures while I was on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Carol to watch Mickey again!”
“Yeskia has been absolutely wonderful to my 2 year-old black lab (As a lab, yes she can be rambunctious) puppy including recently during a three-week stay!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be going back.....”
“I have a 9 year old dog named Kyah that I absolutely adore and she has never been away from the family overnight. I was very nervous about leaving her and wasn't sure how she (or I) would handle it. Luciana and her mother did such an amazing job and I cannot thank them enough! After the initial meet and greet, I scheduled a trial sleepover for 1 night right before the scheduled stay (5 nights) so that Kyah could get to know them, familiarize herself with the new surroundings, and to reinforce that I was coming back - that may have been more for my peace of mind. Luciana and her mother took such great care of Kyah. They took her for walks, adhered to her special diet and gave her medications as needed. They even took a bunch of pictures and sent them to me! There were 2 specific things that occurred and gave me ABSOLUTE COMFORT & CONFIDENCE that Kyah was well cared for. 1) When I brought Kyah over for the actual stay (after the initial trial sleepover), she noticed Luciana' mother sitting on the couch and she happily walked over and greeted her. 2) When I picked her up after being away for 6 days, she was really excited to see me AND as we were walking away to my car, Luciana's mother said goodbye to Kyah and she actually turned around, walked back over to her and said "goodbye". Both of those examples left significant impressions because my dog is pretty aloof and doesn't usually show affection to anyone other than her family. Luciana and her mother make a great team and I highly recommend them. I have already made arrangements for this summer!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.”
“It was our first time leaving our 1yo puppy with a new family. He spent 4 nights with her and had a great time. Nicole was very kind, very understanding of his special needs and treated him to a great adventure on a beach. Could not have asked for a better family to leave our doggie. Thank you Nicole!”
“Luke has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Murphy. This was our pup’s second stay with him, and it is clear how much he genuinely cares. Our dog loves him and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Luke communicates clearly, sends updates, and creates a welcoming environment. It gives tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is safe and enjoying his time while we are away. Highly recommend Luke for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.

“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“This was the first time we have been away from our puppy for a long period of time and Akhil did an amazing job easing our anxiety and our puppy's. Akhil was in constant communication with us, sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day and kept our puppy entertained via multiple enrichment activities. We could tell our puppy enjoyed her time with Akhil because she gave him a going away hug when we picked her up haha. Akhil will be our go to dog sitter moving forward!”
