Highly-rated overnight sitters - Marlwood

“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kayla B. and her family did a wonderful job with our puggle girls. The girls stayed with them for a week. They administered medicine daily to our epileptic dog. The pictures they took were awesome and they messaged us daily to give us updates about our little ones. Our puppies came home happy and tired in the best way! We hope to have our girls stay with Kayla B. and her family again!!! 😊🫶🏻”
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”

The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”

“I booked Joann for the first time over the Christmas holiday when none of my usual sitters were available, and I’m so glad I did. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. My cat Mani warmed up to her quickly and clearly felt comfortable in her care, which put me at ease while I was away. Joann also went above and beyond by bringing in packages and even starting my dishwasher; all little things that made a big difference when I came home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Chelsea is always amazing!! She takes such good care of our fur babies, and so so responsive. She sends so many pictures that we are always grateful for!”

Halfway through our trip we began planning other ways Elizabeth could care for our dog in the future!”

“Rachel did an amazing job watching our two cats while on our honeymoon! She sent pictures so fast after every visit and was quick to respond to any messages or questions we had. I recommend her 100% and would definitely use her again! I could tell she took the time to play with and love on our cats, and they look very happy in every picture!”
“Annemarie is awesome! This is my 3rd or 4th time booking with her and I’ve had a wonderful experience each time! She is communicative, friendly & sends so many adorable pictures of my cat 🥰🥹 Highly recommend!”
“I absolutely love leaving my baby at home with confidence and not stressing my entire trip away. Veda was definitely a cat whisperer and was able to get my anxious baby to take her meds well.”
“Shin is absolutely awesome, she agreed to help at the last minute and she actually spent time to play with my baby. She even took a photoshoot of my baby too. Definitely want her to see my baby again <3”
“We are SO appreciative of Max! He is quick to communicate and sends great updates. We recently went out of the country and I was pretty nervous about our cats — knowing Max was taking care of them really eased my mind (he handled cat house accidents, mail, and some other random/special pet requests which I so appreciated). We’ll continue to book him as much as he’s available! Thanks, Max!”
“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”
About: I have over six years of experience caring for cats, including caring for my own. Throughout that time, I've become familiar with feeding routines, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing plenty of playtime and affection to help cats feel comfortable and secure. In addition to caring for my own cat, neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to check in on their cats while they were away. My responsibilities included feeding, ensuring fresh water was available, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the cats, providing companionship, and making sure they were safe and well cared for until their owners returned.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Marlwood
“Auntie Dana took great care of my little boy. She sent frequent updates and pictures. I was very nervous leaving him with someone I just met but she made me feel very comfortable with the process. We even did a FaceTime call the night before where she answered all my questions and eased my concerns. I would definitely book her again.”
“Georgia has been enjoying spending two days a week at Alyssa and Spencer’s while her mom works. Alyssa and Spencer are great with Georgia and make her feel right at home from the moment she gets inside. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful alternative to larger doggy day cares for Georgia. Georgia doesn’t give too many details on all that she does while she is at Alyssa and Spencer’s, but on the mornings we go to their house, she can’t wait to get in the car and get there.”
“This is our second time using JaXx, and it’s been great! Love the updates and the attention that she gives out little Yadi. We plan on making her part of the family! Highly recommend.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and care needs. My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.
“Alisha really is the best. My dog absolutely loves her and her pets. I use her services frequently and have been very very happy and my dog is even happier not having to be alone. I feel confident she is very responsible and truely cares about my dog Hope.”

About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”
About: I am a teacher and someone who truly loves animals. Caring for pets brings me a lot of joy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. Because of my work schedule, my availability is mainly on weekends. On weekdays, I can receive and drop off pets after 5 pm. During the day (8:30 am to 4:30 pm), I am at work, so pets would have a calm, quiet space at home during those hours. I always aim to create a warm, responsible, and caring environment where every dog feels at ease and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule during the weekdays, which allows me to plan ahead and provide consistent care. In the mornings, I can take dogs out for a walk, feeding, and some playtime before starting my day. After work, I dedicate time in the afternoon and evening for walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m also available on weekends, where I have more flexibility to spend extra time with pets, including longer walks, playtime, and companionship. During the summer, I have significantly more availability, which makes it a perfect time for vacation bookings. You can plan your trips in advance knowing your pet will receive dedicated care and attention. I am very responsible with routines, so I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from the owner to make sure their pet feels safe and at home. When caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to make sure they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I understand that staying in their own home can help pets feel more secure, so I focus on keeping their environment consistent while giving them companionship, care, and attention. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I adjust my care to match their personality whether they are energetic and playful or calm and shy. I am also happy to send regular updates and pictures, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands 💛
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds, large and small, young and elderly, I know each dog or cat has their own unique personalities and sometimes require special care and attention! My goal is to always keep the pet happy and the owners at ease! I work from home, mainly in the mornings and usually take my dog to the dog park daily, or on runs or walks, my family is always active, we love animals and putting them together is such a joy! I make sure each pet that enters our home is taken care of the way they need to be treated, whether that’s a special meal schedule, certain activities a to burn energy during the day or just lots of love and reassurance, each animal is different and needs to be treated as such!
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. Dogs have always been a big part of my family, and they honestly come second only to my son in my heart. I’m currently the proud dog mom of two sweet pups, a Maltipoo and a Cairn Terrier mix, who love meeting new dog friends and having playtime. Because I’m already used to the daily routine of walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of cuddles, caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I offer a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company during the day, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work remotely from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to take regular walk breaks, provide playtime, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. My home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. During the day, my two dogs free roam the house. They love lounging on the couch, looking out the window, or hanging out in my office while I work. They’re friendly and used to having a relaxed routine with lots of love and supervision. At night, my dogs sleep safely in their crates as part of their routine. I’m comfortable following whatever sleeping arrangements your dog is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me.
“Olga was wonderful! Her sweet little girl got along great with my small dogs. She was very attentive and provided regular pupdates. My dogs loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her again very soon!”
About: Hey everyone! I am a huge animal lover. I have always had a dog in my home whether it be a family dog or my personal dog. Currently, I have two big, high energy dogs of my own a golden retriever and a husky! I love animals and understand needing to feel like your pet is safe and loved while you’re away! I will treat your furry friends just as I would my own 🩵 I am currently on summer break for work and have open availability for scheduling! Doggy daycare is now available me for the summer to book! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly, high energy dogs as well as a one year old son who loves dogs. My dogs are good with other dogs and children as well. They enjoy playing and running around together! I also have a large crate available for us if your animal is used to being crated. We do walk and lots of play time outside in our backyard.
About: We are a pet loving family. I have taken care of dogs since I was a boy taking care of my family dog. I had 1 dog in my 20s and now have 3 in my 30s and have to talk myself out of taking in more all the time. All dogs are welcome. I currently work at home full time. I have plenty of flexibility in my daily schedule to play outside in the backyard or go for walks I have a fenced in backyard for play and potty breaks. We have plenty of beds and can section off parts of the house if your dog needs down time apart from the other dogs.
About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.
“Mariel was amazing with Arlo! She sent me videos and picture throughout the day. Arlo had a blast running around the yard and loved having new friends. I will definitely book with her again.”

“She took wonderful care of Loki, handled his excitement with patience, and even cleaned up after him. The photos she took are gorgeous and really capture his personality. highly recommend!”
“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”
“Liam is wonderful! Probably the best dog watcher ever! We have entrusted him with our dog twice while on a week-long vacation. Every visit Liam makes, we get a full report and pictures. He truly loves our dog and she loves him. Yay Liam!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.
“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: I am a dog lover and empath with 2 rescue pitbulls of my own. They’re favorite cousin is a chihuahua. I’ve loved and taken care of large and small dogs for most of my life. I’m a true introverted home-body. I work from home and so my availability is very flexible. I generally only leave the home for a few hours at a time and/or for short evening/weekend socializing I’m very sensitive to a dog’s mood and natural anxieties and so I don’t take unnecessary risks. Any boarded pets would have their own private bedroom and will be kept separate even for potty breaks in my fenced yard.
“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”
“Michaela did a great job with Sophie! She was so easy to communicate with! I felt so comfortable having Michaela take care of Sophie. She took great care of her, was reliable, and took the cutest pics! Can’t wait to have her take care of Sophie again!”
“Kortney has been great taking care of my Benji. She is reliable and very accommodating to last minute changes in my work schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I currently care for an English Bull Terrier that loves people more than anything else, and is not great with dogs. She has taught me the importance of watching body language, getting ample exercise, taking safe walks to avoid other dogs, and giving all the snuggles needed. I am very aware of dogs needs and keeping distance on leashes because of her. I have been around dogs all my life, from smell driven hound dogs, to ball driven mixes, and I love to play with and care for them all! I grew up raising rats and I love them too! I know the importance of them having social interaction, clean cages, and preferred food. I am also familiar with guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have fresh water fish tanks and can do water changes, feeding and medicine. I currently don’t have any cats (or other pets) because of my dog, so I am itching to get some quality cat time in as well! I would love the chance to care for your pets too! *I will have my 2 year old daughter with me most days. She’s very gentle with animals, but does get excited and laugh a lot. I wear her on my back in a carrier when I enter homes and walk dogs, however if your pet doesn’t like kids or is scared, I won’t be able to help this summer. I am a stay at home mom so I can come check on your pets at the most convenient time for you. If you need someone to come snuggle your pets, let them out, and play with them at anytime of the day, I am your gal! I will make sure your animal has more than just a simple potty break before I leave. They will have love, attention, and exercise. I like to come in the door with a treat (if allowed!) for dogs. I will play ball until the cows come home, or give them all the snuggles and love they need.
About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.

“Gabriella was such an angel, and her doggo was a total sweetheart, to my anxious pup! Thank you so much for taking such good care of her that she didn’t want to leave 😆”
“I was so nervous leaving my Snoop with someone for the first time and Hope made things so much better. She sent pictures and messages the whole time! Snoop loved it I will definitely use her again if I need to!”
“Patrick loves London and her family! They give the best TLC! We're grateful for all they do for our sweet boy! He gets so excited when we turn down the road to their location! 🥰”
“Jannel & Brett took wonderful care of my puppy. They were so kind, communicative, and went above and beyond what was required. They loved on him, played with him, and had him (and his stuff) nice and clean when I picked him up. I felt very comfortable leaving Bentley with them and will definitely use them again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Judith and her family were amazing for my bulldog boy. It was our longest time away from him, but we felt so comfortable leaving him with her and her family!! He absolutely loved it there, and got tons of attention and love. We have definitely found Chumlee's forever sitter!!!”
