“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“Unfortunately my dog had some stomach issues ☹️ during his stay but Abigail handled it brilliantly making him chicken and rice and checking in with me. ❤️. Looking forward to rebooking with Abigail.”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for our first Rover sitter. We reached out and booked Kyle very last minute due to a family emergency and I am BEYOND pleased. He took care of our pups as if they were his own and I know they were loved and cared for! Communication was excellent and we regularly got updates, pics and videos that warmed my heart!! Will ABSOLUTELY be booking with him again. You cannot go wrong here!!”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“We really appreciated the kindness and care Sue showed towards our Dexter. The daily photos and communication was great. We'd definitely bring Dexter back if the need ever arises.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Roxie! She was very upfront in warning us that her dog, Elliot, can come on a little strong at first (which he definitely did lol) but he and Roxie became best friends almost immediately after. Emily sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and having fun. It was obvious from every update how much Roxie loved her. We would absolutely trust Emily with Roxie again and highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was very accommodating with setting up a meet and greet prior to our booking. Very quick to respond to messages and booking request. We loved getting updates and pictures of Daisy's stay with her! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“He was nice, flexible and helpful. He sent pictures, asked questions and gave me an update. He allowed us to do an initial visit, had SunBear’s things waiting and brought them to the car. Thank you”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Kelly and Zac were great! We received daily pupdates with pictures and a blurb about his adventures. They worked with us on a last minute booking and were quick to respond. As a small dog mom, we are always cautious of where our little guy goes for boarding, and this was the perfect set up for him. He had fun playing with their dogs, chasing chipmunks, and helping in the kitchen. Thank you both, from us and Dr. Ducky!”
“Bowie was great with our French Bulldog. He took extra care for her during this past hot spell and sent daily updates and pictures. It is clear he is truly committed to the animals he cares for.”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“We feel very lucky to have found Cassandra and Eric through the Rover to board our puppy while we were out of town. They were very flexible and accommodating to our requests, kind, loving, patient and attentive, and their entire family did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. The communication was great, we received updates every day with a lot of pictures and videos, and our puppy always looked very happy, playful and comfortable at their home. We are very grateful! Highly recommend!”
“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”
About: My husband and I both work from home and are available for your pets 24/7. It’s so important to us that your dog and our own dog as well have the best quality of life, what that means to us is that they get love and attention whenever they want it, never spend long on a crate or by themselves, and get to go outside, on an adventure or play with us when they have extra energy to expend. Combined, my husband and I have over 30 years of dog experience. We work with all breeds and sizes. We know how important our fur babies are to us, so we want to put your mind and hearts at ease that your pupper will have the best time possible while they vacation with us! Working from home we both are available for your pet anytime they need it. I usually work on the couch or kitchen island while my dog and your dogs plays in the backyard, lounge on the couch/dog beds or play with the large variety of dog toys we have. We have a loving and sweet dog, Boon, that we take on hikes and dog park visits daily, with your permission and according to your preferences we could take your doggo on these adventures too. We carefully introduce your dog and our sweet boy, Boon. As a puppy, Boon was quite mischievous, so we learned quickly how to puppy/dog proof our home to avoid any issues. If we can handle Boon as a puppy, we can handle any dog. Now that he has gotten older and more mature, Boon is very amiable and loves to play and snuggle with our dog visitors. We crate Boon while we are out, and can follow any protocols you wish for caring for your fur baby when we are home and when we have to step out (a rare occurrence).
“Timmothy was fantastic and took great care of our pup! We appreciated his great communication and daily updates. We would definitely book with him again. Thank you!!”

“Kristen sat for our house and 2 cats and she was great. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, played with the cats (who liked her right away, as we did), and we returned to a very clean house. We felt very comfortable having her here and hope she'll be available the next time we leave town!”
About: I don’t have cats any more, but I did have a special lady named Steenkie. I miss her so much and would love to have a sweet kitty in my life once more. While I train dogs I still hold a special place in my heart for cats. Steenkie (my cat) was the first commitment my husband and I made together (before we even got married) and though Steenk has passed the bond and love we shared as a family will never fade. I would love to care for your cats as I would my own. With love, compassion and of course a tiny little bit of mischief since my girl was a little devil 😂
“Elizabeth did what was needed to care for my cat. She made sure my cat had fresh water, food, and cleaned the litter box. Above all else, she made sure my cat was well cared for before leaving. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Kaitlyn was incredible! She was so kind and caring. She was flexible and was able to adapt to changes. She sent so many pictures and consistently gave updates. I will definitely reach out in the future! Thank you so much Kaitlyn!”
“Caroline did an excellent job taken care of my cats, she followed my instructions perfectly, and gave me daily updates, and even checked in with me after I got home. I will definitely rehire her as I know my cats are in good care.”
“Heidi watched my two cats when I had to be out of town on short notice for a funeral. She was amazing. One of cats needs a daily medication, and she jumped right in and made me feel super comfortable about it. I think what I also really appreciated was that she gave me honest updates. For example, the first night Binx was kind of a goob about letting her get into his ear, but then he got better after she was around a bit. I think I prefer that as opposed to "everything is great!" I was also mortified when I didn't get my hungryroot box canceled, and she graciously put everything in the fridge for me. I felt so comfortable with them under her care, I could even relax on the day of the funeral and not be constantly checking my phone for a rover card! When I got home, my cats were chill and well cared for. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kelly was a wonderful cat and house sitter! She was responsive to my communications, kept me informed about my cats’ happenings, and was a pleasure to interact with. It’s wonderful to have peace of mind when I travel and Kelly provided that!”
About: I have two cats of my own, Ollie and Ivy! i have been around cats growing up so I understand how unique each cat can be. It helps me to know their routine, personality, if they’re shy or social, and any medical issues, scooping multiple litter boxes, and caring for cats who need extra space or time to warm up. I’ll always meet them where they’re at to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. 🐱
“Tori did a wonderful job again with our two cats. We came home from our vacation and they were happy and well cared for. We will definitely ask Tori for our future bookings!”
About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the client’s home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Highly recommend her. She is great with reliability, availability and communication. It’s great to know that my kitty’s are in good hands and the photo updates help a ton. 😊”
“Rola did a wonderful job checking in and caring for our cats while we were away. It didn’t take long for our cats to warm up to Rola and start showing their personalities. Highly recommend!”
About: My wife and I have had paws in our house almost from day 1. Over the years we have had 6 dogs and 7 cats, all of which came on board as puppies or kittens, and they all lived long and happy lives. Currently we have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am now retired, so I have maximum flexibility to schedule sitting/walking times. The biggest competitors for my time are the grandkids, and the lawnmower in the summer and snow shovel in the winter. Our cats are indoor cats with access to a screen porch to satisfy their outdoor desires. We have used the Invisible Fence for our previous larger dogs. The client would set the requirements for care at the pet's home. I also have walking shoes and a leash for doggie exercise. I have not signed up to care for client's animals at our house.

“This was our first doggy care time with William. Our experience with Meet and Greet a few days and today's doggy care day care was very positive. William is easy going and accommodates well. Our dog Leo was excited to be with him this morning. I can see Leo doing this every time he goes to William's house. Definitely will send Leo to be with him in the future.”
“Dixie came home a happy dog. Nicole (with her dog Stella) gave our 1 year old puppy a safe and fun place to play and a comfortable place to rest. We couldn’t ask for more.”
“All I can say is wow! Fantastic communication, so many photos, and made sure my dogs were doing well and let me know. Every single thing I could’ve asked for. Emily is amazing! Very thoughtful about dogs and dog interaction and checked with me on absolutely everything. She is great and earned both my and my pups trust”
“Howie and Betsy were convenient, accommodating and flexible with my work schedules. They clearly love dogs and my baby boy was always happy to get out of the car and rush in to their home! Thank you.”
“I highly recommend Kristen and Robert to care for your beloved pet. I felt very comfortable leaving my Roy with them and their family of 3 other doggies. I felt they were very kind, friendly and caring. They sent me pictures and let me know how Roy was getting along. I will definitely contact Kristen and Robert again when I am need of someone to watch my precious little Roy. Thank you !”
“Taylor was awesome! She accepted my booking with only 45 minutes to spare and she took adorable pics of my pup while I was out. Will definitely give her a call again!”
About: I’m a full-time pet caregiver with more than 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and other small pets. I’ve also been actively involved in animal rescue and fostering since 2021. One of my most meaningful experiences was fostering a blind and deaf senior Chihuahua with Cushing’s disease in hospice care for over a year. This strengthened my ability to provide patient, individualized care for senior, anxious, special-needs, and medically complex pets. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering oral medications. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight house sitting. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship. You’ll receive thoughtful photos, detailed updates, and prompt communication throughout your pet’s care. Multi-pet families are especially welcome! I keep my sibling rates affordable so pets from the same household can remain together without the cost multiplying for each pet. For added peace of mind, every service booked and paid for through Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes 24/7 support and up to $25,000 in veterinary care reimbursement for eligible claims. Pet care is my full-time work, so my daily schedule is organized around the pets in my care. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and week, including early mornings, late nights, weekends, and many holidays. This allows me to accommodate established routines, recurring services, and last-minute requests when availability permits. I plan travel time carefully between bookings and avoid overbooking so each pet receives their full scheduled time and attention. I begin each booking by reviewing the pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, health needs, and emergency information. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes before transitions, keep dogs leashed outdoors unless safely contained in an approved area, and monitor the weather to ensure outdoor activities remain safe. I have experience with crates and crate training and am comfortable following an established crating routine when needed. I can also safely manage designated areas of the home using baby gates, closed doors, playpens, or other barriers according to the pet parent’s instructions. This can be helpful for maintaining boundaries, separating pets during meals, or providing each pet with a comfortable space. My goal is always to provide as much safe, supervised time outside confined areas as possible, with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow all access and security instructions, maintain the pet’s familiar environment, and leave the home clean and securely locked. Meet-and-greets are welcome so we can review care instructions and ensure everyone feels comfortable before the booking.
“Sandy was able to petsit our dog Kori on short notice & I am very thankful that she was available. Kori was well-cared for and able to play with her dogs as well, overall a fun experience for him. Thank you!”
“Kyle is awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better dog-sitter for Pilar! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt totally at ease knowing she was in great hands with Kyle and his pup Soka. Kyle was attentive and caring, sending updates throughout the day that showed Pilar was having a wonderful time. It was clear that Kyle genuinely loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her—I highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet-sitter!”

About: What sets me apart is my professional background as a Medical Assistant combined with my lifelong love for animals. Growing up alongside our family dog, Topacio, who has been with us for over 10 years, I have developed a deep understanding and gentle touch for senior dog care—knowing exactly how to keep older pets comfortable, safe, and happy. My medical training gives me an extra layer of responsibility, attention to detail, and a calm demeanor when looking after pets. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages from friends and family, and I focus on providing a structured, loving home environment. I treat every furry guest with the same dedication and affection as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a flexible hybrid schedule, working some days from home doing patient video consultations and other days from the office. On my work-from-home days, I am there to provide constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. For the days I am at the office, my schedule is highly predictable and structured, making it ideal for pets that are comfortable with a standard workday routine. No matter my schedule for the day, my evenings and weekends are completely free and dedicated 100% to long walks, fun playtime, and plenty of love! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I host pets in my home, I ensure a secure, escape-proof, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel completely relaxed. Here is how I guarantee a safe stay: Structured Supervision: Thanks to my flexible hybrid schedule, I am home several days a week, and even on my office days, my routine is highly predictable. I closely monitor all interactions, ensuring feeding and playtimes are always safe and managed. Introduction & Meet-and-Greets: I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures your pet feels comfortable in my home and is a great match for our sweet senior dog, Topacio. Tailored Routines & Care: With my background as a Medical Assistant, I am extremely detail-oriented. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special medication requirements to keep their days consistent. Daily Updates: I love sending frequent photos and updates so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving lots of love.
“My dog had a great day of daycare with Meggie! She has great fenced in backyard and nice big windows in the front of her house. Meggie took pictures and sent me updates during the day which I loved! I would love to have my dog stay with Meggie again.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple dogs through pet sitting, including looking after my mother’s 14-year-old senior dog for two weeks while she was traveling. These experiences have given me strong confidence in handling dogs of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. I currently accept only one dog at a time so I can provide my full attention and ensure a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I understand that every dog has unique routines and preferences, and I carefully follow each owner’s detailed instructions to make sure their pet feels secure and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on attentive, patient, and loving care. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your dog. During the holiday season, I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. My family enjoys spending quiet days together, so pet care easily fits into our routine. We’ll make sure each pet gets regular walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Boarding at my home: My family will spend most of our time at home, so your pet will enjoy calm company in a quiet and cozy environment. We provide clean spaces, regular outdoor breaks, and lots of affection to help them feel like part of the family.
“Nickolai was very responsive & communicative. I was able to book last minute with him -for the next day! My pup was greeted with a treat which was a great sign! I also received photos throughout his stay which certainly gave me peace of mind. Bruno came home tuckered out and ready to chill, which is great because mom is ready to chill too after a long day of work. He will certainly be back if I am working in the area again! 😊”
“Jaime was amazing with my doggos. Her beautiful yard has plenty of space and plants for them to explore. She sent me regular pictures and updates. My timid Freckles warmed up to her quickly 🤗”

“Cherie was amazing while caring for/walking my dear Abuelo. He has since transitioned above. Cherie accommodated my crazy work schedule which was a huge help! Always a great communicator & updated me when needed. Cherie will always be considered a member of Abuelos Village who cared for him. Thankful we met. Blessing to all the future fur babies 🐾”
“Jeff came through at the last minute for us when our dog couldn't go to the regular sitters with our other dogs based on his vets recommendation and I had prior commitments.”
About: I've lived on a homestead taking care of farm animals including dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and much more! My parents bred and trained AKC Labradors and Beagles for wild game hunting. I became a farm hand for a local barn in New Hampshire at the age of 14. Once I was 16 I started overnight caretaking for horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience training puppies and rescue dogs with my parents. I also own amphibians and non conventional pets so I'm familiar with exotic caretaking. I'm currently dog sitting/walking/feedings fulltime. I'll have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets and take them outside for potty breaks. I live in apartment that does not allow cats or dogs so any pet sitting will have to be done at your home. I have my own private insurance alongside Rover Garantee. I will need a full tour of your yard if it's fenced, to make sure there aren't any means of escaping. A full detailed care sheet that includes the pet's schedule, behavioral concerns (a must), vitamins or medications schedule, prefered place to walk or run (typical place you go to help understand your pet's public behavior and help form trust with them. I will always learn your pet's behavior in a controlled and comfortable environment first. Then if you approve, we can eventually go on hikes. The more detail I have about your pet, the better their transition will be in my care. Trust and Safety is my top priority when caring for a family member that can't speak.
“Dave was great!!! He was ready to step in and take care and take Oliver on a couple walks each day who is a 7 month old puppy that is super energetic and loving and thankfully persuaded with treats!!! We appreciated Dave’s help and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 12+ years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised and cared for a Border Collie mix, Boxer, Pug, and Min Pin—so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to smaller companions. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, administering medication, and making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need, including outings to dog parks. I’ve also been involved in training, so I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins. I’m available most evenings as well, depending on my kids’ activities, and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. I offer loving, reliable care both in my home and yours. I live in a two-bedroom place near Dean Parkway, just minutes from Lake Bde Maka Ska—perfect for walks, fresh air, and dog park visits. I’m active, so your pup will get great exercise, but there’s also plenty of comfy space for downtime and cuddles. My two kids are also gentle and loving with all pets, adding to the warm, welcoming environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels right at home.
About: Hi! I’m Isabelle, and if there’s an animal in the room, chances are you’ll find me hanging out with it. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or your cat prefers a quiet companion and some extra treats, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them with lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a wide range of days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests when needed. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they get exercise and playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them lots of love and attention. I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I grew up with dogs, lizards and cats and even hamsters, bearded dragons and birds. I know how to take care of a variety of animals. I am a lover of all animals! I have a full time job but I am free in the evenings, weekends, and I work remote during the day Monday and Friday to take care of animals. In my personal life, I feed my cat in the morning and night, clean her litter box every other day and play with her daily. I will follow the instructions given and make sure I am aware of the expectations going into the clients home. I am a very responsible and accountable person.
About: 🐾🐾🐾I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I currently care for my 9yo cattle dog mix. 🐶🐶🐶Growing up, my family got a dog when I was 2. Ever since then, I enjoy being around all kinds of pets and animal companions! 🐐🐐🐐I hope to expand my experience into farm-sitting with a special interest in goats and sheep. ♥️♥️♥️ How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I currently have an open schedule besides school and babysitting! I get my dog out for walks everyday too. I usually care for pets at a client's home. Caring for the home and animal companions is a priority for me. Please let me know specific care needs in a message as you think of any.
About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!
“Rola walked our dog 4 days per week for several months and I would highly recommend her dog walking services! She is reliable and communicative and you can tell she genuinely loves the work.”
About: I have about a decade of hands-on experience working in professional dog daycare and boarding environments, where I managed group play, monitored behavior, and helped maintain safe, structured routines for dogs of all temperaments. My approach is rooted in Fear Free principles—prioritizing low-stress handling, body language awareness, and proactive behavior management. I’m especially comfortable working with anxious, reactive, or high-energy dogs, and I focus on preventing issues before they escalate rather than reacting after the fact. I also have experience supporting puppies with early routine-building and basic reinforcement, as well as providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I go beyond basic care. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and adjust my approach to support their comfort, confidence, and overall well being. Pet care is currently a central part of my routine, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling and consistent availability throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules depending on your needs. I structure my day intentionally to ensure each pet receives focused, unrushed care. I also keep my schedule balanced so I’m not overbooked, which allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present during each visit. I prioritize consistency for pets, so I aim to keep repeat clients on a stable schedule whenever possible. Weekend availability is flexible, and I’m open to discussing ongoing or recurring care. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every environment. In a client’s home, I follow your dog’s established routine as closely as possible to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and environmental factors to ensure each visit stays calm, structured, and safe. I’m mindful of entry/exit safety (doors, leashes, surroundings) and always keep dogs securely managed during transitions and walks. I take a proactive approach to behavior—preventing issues before they escalate by managing space, triggers, and interactions carefully. I’m experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and will always adjust my approach based on what your dog needs in the moment. If approved, I can offer carefully managed social interaction with my own dog for clients with dog-friendly pets. All introductions are done gradually and intentionally, with safety as the priority. I also provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is not just being looked after, but genuinely understood and cared for.

He took care of our pups as if they were his own and I know they were loved and cared for! Communication was excellent and we regularly got updates, pics and videos that warmed my heart!! Will ABSOLUTELY be booking with him again. You cannot go wrong here!!”

They were very flexible and accommodating to our requests, kind, loving, patient and attentive, and their entire family did an amazing job taking care of our puppy.

Highly recommend!”
“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”
About: My husband and I both work from home and are available for your pets 24/7. It’s so important to us that your dog and our own dog as well have the best quality of life, what that means to us is that they get love and attention whenever they want it, never spend long on a crate or by themselves, and get to go outside, on an adventure or play with us when they have extra energy to expend. Combined, my husband and I have over 30 years of dog experience. We work with all breeds and sizes. We know how important our fur babies are to us, so we want to put your mind and hearts at ease that your pupper will have the best time possible while they vacation with us! Working from home we both are available for your pet anytime they need it. I usually work on the couch or kitchen island while my dog and your dogs plays in the backyard, lounge on the couch/dog beds or play with the large variety of dog toys we have. We have a loving and sweet dog, Boon, that we take on hikes and dog park visits daily, with your permission and according to your preferences we could take your doggo on these adventures too. We carefully introduce your dog and our sweet boy, Boon. As a puppy, Boon was quite mischievous, so we learned quickly how to puppy/dog proof our home to avoid any issues. If we can handle Boon as a puppy, we can handle any dog. Now that he has gotten older and more mature, Boon is very amiable and loves to play and snuggle with our dog visitors. We crate Boon while we are out, and can follow any protocols you wish for caring for your fur baby when we are home and when we have to step out (a rare occurrence).
“Timmothy was fantastic and took great care of our pup! We appreciated his great communication and daily updates. We would definitely book with him again. Thank you!!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Promise and her dogs! She provided frequent updates, was very communicative, and I know she took the best care of Bo! He got lots of playtime and love, and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Promise enough and already have my dog’s next stay booked with her. Thank you, Promise!!”
“I left my dog with Jillien over the weekend and I’ll be honest, I was nervous. He’s absolutely my baby and I was trusting someone I didn’t know. Jillien and her family were AMAZING. I got updates on how he was doing, and he absolutely loved spending time with their. The whole family loves and appreciates dogs and it shows in how well the dogs connect. Buck wouldn’t stop going over to give them goodbye snuggles when we left, which speaks huge volumes to how much he loved it there. I am already booking out my next trip with Jillien for this summer and I feel so comforted knowing he’ll be safe and happy. Highly highly recommend this family!”
“Truman loves staying with Allie! I really appreciate Allie’s daily updates, her responsiveness, and how much she loves on Truman while we’re away. He gets lots of exercise and snuggle time, which I know he adores. ❤️”
“Aastha and Dan were great! They were easy to work with, experienced with dogs, communicated very well and took great care of Axl. They have a great backyard and played with Axl a lot. He is high energy so the yard helps to burn off that energy. We will definitely use them again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”
“Another 5-Star visit for Archie at Valerie’s in June! We always receive nice updates with photos of Archie and feel very secure that he is getting the best care. Archie loves the wonderful fenced in backyard and attention he receives from the family. Definitely will be back!”
