“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Alice consistently takes great care of my dog. She sends fun pictures and videos, handles any health concerns that come up, and she even took him to the dog park so that he could play. I am very grateful when Alice is available to take care of my dog.”
“Vanessa was very good with Knighthawk. She is also very easy to deal with when I told her that I wasn’t sure what day we may be able to pick him up. We are confident that if we need to board him again that Vanessa would be the one to get the first call.”
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“Emily and William are true dog lovers, and always take such good care of our Molly. They are my go-to dog sitters because of the care and love and attention I know Molly is receiving. I know she’s in great hands when she’s with them.”
“We are so happy we picked Amanda to look after Grizzly for a week. Grizzly had plenty of play time with her other dogs. Amanda provided us updates while we were away. She definitely treated Grizzly as one of her own.”
“So happy we found Marilyn and her family to board my miniature schnauzer for 6 days. They are all love for dogs and Tita felt that instantly since it is all she needs. I was so relaxed during my vacations since I would receive daily updates and pictures. It was also fun for Tita since she even received Puppy cups. Marilyn and the kids took care of our puppy as if she was their own. As I told her, they are all love for animals, definitely very special people with a big heart. Oh since they are going to miss her, we already booked for next month for our beach getaway :)”
“Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!”
“We’re so grateful for the RCMs! Our usual dog sitter was unavailable. Harley came back happy, energized, and clearly loved. We’re very satisfied with the care he received.”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“I’m so glad I found Lauren! She is very easy to work with, has a fantastic set up (with a huge fenced-in yard), and understands and loves dogs. I’ve already recommended her to two friends.”
“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”
“Awesome experience! I was going out of town for son’s graduation and luckily happened across Megan. She worked around my schedule with drop off. She really made it easy. She watched my 2 dogs, one of which is a puppy and his first time away from the family. The daily pictures Megan sent out confirmed that I made the right choice in going with her. The dogs have never looked happier. They got a lot of exercise and socialization with the “pack”. I really can’t express how fortunate we are to have found Megan.”
“Great place for our dogs! They had a blast hanging out with other dogs and kids during their stay. Loved the communication from Amy and that she frequently sent videos and photos of the dogs! Highly recommend”
“Wow Greg and Julie are amazing! I always got updates and they know so many training tricks from their background with dogs! 12/10 recommend! Plus my dog got to play with his first cat! Book them now!”
“Gregg was very conscientious and took extra steps to ensure that our dog would have a successful stay. He sent photos and gave us reports on our dog’s experience. He seems to understand dogs and their personalities well.”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”

“Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)”
“Tooba was very communicative, kinda, and understanding of a mix-up. But, most importantly, she was able to coax our skeptical furbag out from under the bed to say hello. I felt very well-cared for!”
“Irene was wonderful with my two cats and included lots of great photos! She also was a great communicator and was flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. I would highly recommend her!”
“Julie is the best sitter we have ever had. She took wonderful care of our 3 cats when my partner and I were in Iceland. She provided such tender and patient care for each cat, especially my senior cat with complex medical needs. She even went the extra mile to bring new food from home when my senior didn’t have much of an appetite. I will absolutely be booking Julie again in the future. She is a real gem!”
“Sarah is truly a gem. She stopped by throughout the weekend to care for our cat and was wonderfully reliable — always on time for feedings and making sure Dua got her medication. She also follows the golden rule of cat‑sitting: always send the humans plenty of photos and videos 😊. We’ll happily have Sarah look after Dua again anytime she’s up for it.”
“Charles was amazing with my cat as usual and was so happy and content when I got back! Charles provided thorough updates and sent great photos as well. Definitely don’t hesitate to book!”
“Richard dropped in on my cat twice a day for 5 days and sent me updates about her at every check in which gave me peace of mind. He was very responsive, particularly after I missed my flight back and needed an additional visit/feeding for my cat which he was willing to accommodate. I came back to a cute and calm kitty! Will definitely book again!”
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
“Andrew is an above and beyond pet sitter, kind, communicative, pays close attention to instructions. I always feel very safe leaving my bunnies in his care. And over my most recent trip, he even helped with an injured deer on my property. Highly recommend this thoughtful, wonderful human being for your pet care needs!”
“Once again, Betsy was the best! She’s a great communicator and a kind and thoughtful sitter. I have complete confidence that my pets are in great hands when they’re in Betsy’s care.”
“Yingquan was willing to come AGAIN during our trip, even though we only asked her to come once when we previously talked, because our flight was delayed and we ended up traveling for another day. We were so relieved to have this super reliable and experienced person take care of our kitties when we couldn’t!! We arrived home to perfect cats and we were so grateful. Yingquan is communicative and easy to work with! If she’s willing, we will definitely request her services again in the future.”
“Rosa is very reliable and good at taking care of my two cats. She definitely cares about them and enjoys what she does, which is greatly appreciated. Will use her services again for sure!”
“Anabella takes such great care of our kitties while we are away! She is so dependable and thoughtful with her communication. This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely book again!”
“Rachael was great! Communicated well and was so thorough. I could tell how comfortable my cats were with her through the pictures she sent. Such peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again when our little buddies need looking after.”
“Brian took great care of our two cats. We really appreciated the photos and updates he sent with each visit. He went above and beyond to engage our cats and keep our home clean and safe for them.”
“Jack is a wonderful cat sitter and I highly recommend him. He went above & beyond both in prep (I gave him wrong address as just moved but he came to my new home and was kind about mistake) and in care for my babies. He brought toys for them to okay with and gave me great updates and pics. I hope to have him care for my babies next time I’m out of town.”

About: Growing up with parents that loved to pick up strays my love for animals came naturally. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats from all different shapes and sizes. My favorite lesson in life is that a man’s best friend is their pet. I want to help pet parents take the best care of their best friend while they are away! I am currently in college taking evening classes so i have my whole morning off to spend with your furry friends!! I enjoy going on nature walks and nothing would make me happier then to have your furry friend accompanying me I enjoy taking dogs to doggy parks or nature walks. Every dog is different so not all walks look the same. I like to encourage exercise and play time in my time with them as well as some downtime and bonding.
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”

“Mocha had such a great experience today! Cathryn was kind and made sure mocha felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine love shown toward her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services.”
“My 8 yr old husky mix has never had much luck socializing with other dogs until we met Cynthia and her sweet labs. We could tell pretty early on that Cynthia seemed to understand Juno’s issues and we could also see how well dogs respond to her energy and directions. Juno had her first successful play date all because of Cynthia’s patience, kindness and understanding . She cares for others’ dogs as if they were her own (including plenty of love, adventures and treats!) We feel lucky to have Cynthia help us as much as she helps Juno.”
“Jessica did a great job with my 3 month old puppy! She was very responsive and also very flexible when my schedule changed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and I had great peace of mind knowing she was well cared for.”

My partner works at a vet, therefore, I have quick access to help and am able to ask them questions regarding any animal health issues.

About: Dogs have been apart of my life for many years. I’ve been a dog owner for four years and have spent a decade pet sitting for friends and family. More recently, I’ve provided in-home care for a senior dog while their family travels, ensuring they remaining comfortable and maintained their regular schedule in a familiar environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your pet. I work full time, however I have flexible evening schedule after 6:00pm and I am available on both Saturdays and Sunday with morning, afternoon and evening walking hours. I also have more available schedule on Tuesdays with more flexibility. As a dog walker I keep your dog safe by walking them on a lease at all times in the designated areas that your dog is familiar walking.
“Alessandra is great dog walker. She understands my dog very well and takes the time to give him extra love and not just walk him. The updates are very thorough and she communicates so well with everything that’s going on. I’m really glad that I was able to find a really trustworthy and patient person like Alessandra.”
