“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”

“Just had a weekend away while Natalie and Kevin cared for Coop again! He was so excited when we arrived at their home that I couldn’t even get his belongings out of the car for how hard he was trying to get to Kevin! That says everything you need to know when leaving your beloved pet in the care of another. I know he was happy and loved while we were gone. Thank you again for caring for Coopy and giving us peace of mind while we were away!!”

“I couldn’t be happier with Purvi. She did a fantastic job with my senior dog and provided me with updates and pictures. I will absolutely not hesitate to book with her again.”

“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”

“Jenny is such a great dog sitter! She watches our Italian greyhound puppy on a weekly basis and is so great at updating us on how he is doing, being patient when he gets anxious or nervous, and is very flexible and communicative. She is also very conscious of dog interactions and made time to have our puppy meet hers beforehand. Would definitely recommend.”

“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”

“I simply couldn’t ask for a better home to leave our dog. Lisa is an absolute professional, and the entire family gives Odin so much love, it is incredible. We always look forward to the photos and videos of Odin playing with his buddy Bear, snuggling with the kids, or enjoying a walk. It’s great to know that when we go on vacation, our dog also gets to go on vacation! I am so grateful I found Lisa.”


“By dog had such a good time, I honestly don't think he wanted to come home with us. Part of me was very happy about this and part of me was sad (I may have to get him a little friend ;). I would HIGHLY recommend Angela. She is wonderful with the animals and takes very good care of them. Very attentive to their needs and is understanding and treats ALL the dogs as if they were her OWN. ”
“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”

“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”

“Emily was awesome! Her response time was great. We don’t worry once about Claude. He was smiling lots when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking with Emily again.”

“Tanvi and her family, down to their dog were excellent! They were affectionate, caring and playful with coco. I received an abundance of videos and photos everyday that kept my worries at bay. It was my first time using a dog sitter/ Rover and was fortunate to find Tanvi who was a perfect fit. Coco was visibly happy there and it was a reflection of their care. Thank you!”

“With a last minute request, Suneetha immediately responded with a YES and we were so happy. Once we met her, we became even happier - and as the overnight stay progressed, we were more and more delighted with her care and communication. We will book her again when we're in the area (we used to live here and are visiting family and friends as we pass through). We HIGHLY recommend Suneetha for your dogsitting and boarding needs!!”

“If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was our first time using Meghan and she was amazing. We planned to have her watch our dog from Wednesday to Monday for a long weekend getaway, and then a snowstorm canceled our flight and we ended up being stuck away for 4 extra days. Meghan was so helpful and offered to go buy extra food for our pup since we had only packed him the amount he originally needed, and made us feel so comfortable leaving him there for what turned out to be such a long time. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my dog was having SUCH a good time. Usually when we pick our dog up from a sitter he is crying and squealing with excitement to see us… this time when we finally picked him up, he literally tried to go back into Meghan’s house and did not want to leave. He’s been depressed ever since we brought him back home… slightly heartbreaking for us LOL but a testament to what a great time he had with Meghan!”

“Whitney and Michael took excellent care of our dog, Mango, for a couple of days. They kept us updated with regular photos, which gave us peace of mind. I was late for pickup, but they were very understanding and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”

“Sarah is the perfect sitter. She is caring and attentive and has a wonderful setup. Her dog, Luka, is friendly and got along well with Ulla. I recommend her highly, and we will use her again. Thanks Sarah!”

“Wade was very attentive and took good care of our cats while we were out on vacation. He provided daily written updates and photos, and ensured our pets were well taken care of. I would definitely book him again.”

“Hannah did a great job with my cat! He warmed up to her faster than I expected, and she gave him plenty of attention during her daily visits. Will definitely try to book her for future cat-sitting!”

“Annie is the best sitter I have found for my cat. She watched him for 3 weeks and I am fairly certain my cat did not miss me one bit. I left a variety of toy options and it seemed like every update they were doing something new together. My cat loved Annie from the moment she walked in the door, and normally he takes a while to warm up. Annie provided thorough updates about my cat and she earned my trust rather quickly. Excellent communication, reliable, and made me feel like my cat was the most special cat in her world when visiting with him. Don't look any further - hire Annie and you'll be so glad that you did!”
“Sarah was excellent with Chase. She followed his routine carefully, communicated clearly, and handled everything with confidence. Chase is a senior tripod and needs a bit of extra support, and she managed his let‑outs, feeding, medications, and mobility needs without any issues. We had an unexpected power outage during our booking, and Sarah immediately stepped in with solutions to keep Chase safe and comfortable. She was flexible, dependable, and proactive throughout the entire situation. Chase was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.”


“Jake was exceptional! He graciously agreed to help us at the 11th hour when another sitter fell through before our week away. Jake was prompt, followed directions perfectly, and so sweetly went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and tidy when we got home. He actually spent extra time with our little guy, which was such a relief to us (we all know the degree of self-torture we go through when leaving a pet at home), and we could really tell that Jake is an animal lover. He sent us awesome pics and updates-it helped us enjoy our week away. Jake was generous with his time and effort, and we will absolutely be asking him to sit for us again!”

“Gwen did an awesome job of caring for my cat while we were on vacation. She came twice a day and cared for and played with our kitty. I received updates and photos which really helped me to never have to worry about how the cat was doing. Like most cat moms, I feel guilty leaving her alone when I travel but knowing that Gwen was going to come by twice a day and play with her, keep her company and make sure she was fed and the litter box was clean made it so much easier. I would highly recommend Gwen for your pet-sitting needs.”

“Shannon was an exceptional cat sitter for our cat, Ghost! She was prepared and was incredibly thorough at our first meeting. She asked important questions and took notes to ensure she had all the info she needed prior to starting the job. For every visit with Ghost she provided check in summaries as well as photos of him. Usually when we go away for a period of time Ghost is anxious or skittish when we get back - but when we came home from this trip, Ghost was as happy as ever! Shannon clearly took great care of him while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough - she was amazing!!”

“Sarah is amazing! She is very responsive to messages, is very attentive to all of those little instructions we express about our fur babies and- most of all- they love her! Highly recommend!”


“They are great! Always willing to help even with short notice, they genuinely love the animals and it shows. I’ve had their help a few times now and will likely continue to. Would 100% recommend to other people!”

“Melissa is an amazing dog sitter! She was everything we could have hoped for while we were out of town and then some. She kept us updated with plenty of photos, videos, and walk updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and received so much love and attention from Melissa. We came home to two happy doggo’s, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”

“Sarah was very good at taking care of our cats, especially the old one that is on a special diet. She sent details of our cat’s health and routine diligently. I am going to contract her services in our next trip for sure! Thanks Sarah for taking care of our loved cat ladies!”

“From the reports and Rover card photos Izzy really enjoyed Emma's company, and despite being a shy cat, he came out and let her brush him right away. She made me feel comfortable leaving Izzy in someone else's care for the first time. I will definitely book her for my next trip, if she's available.”

About: I’ve always had a pet in my house! I cared for my mother’s dog full-time during long recovery from back surgery! I have always had deep connections to animals and am patient but eager to gain their trust. I have accommodated for a wide range of furry personalities and I am excited to meet more animals over the summer. I am a college student home from campus all summer so I’m looking forward to spending some time in the sun getting some energy out with your pets! I am available Monday-Friday though weekends may vary! I can accommodate for a variety of environments. I have played with a group of dogs in a wide fenced in yard, as well as taking them to the dog park. I have a large fenced in yard with a deck to soak up the sun and get our sillies out. I also have a scenic park at the end of my cul-de-sac perfect for stimulation! I am happy to utilize whatever accessories and environments you find most suitable and comfortable for your pet! I am comfortable dressing your dogs in their harness and leash with ease and engaging in their favorite locations to explore!

“I highly recommend Monica! She kitty sitted for my special babies and exceeded my expectations! She treated them as if they were her own. Extremely responsible and communicative and I will definitely be hiring Monica again!”
About: Im 30 years old, the youngest of three boys. I am a former athlete and current student at RVCC studying dietetics. Growing up we had two golden retrievers( both females so my mom wasn’t alone in that regard). With our first dog Shannon me and my brothers all shared the responsibility of taking care of. After Shannon had passed we felt that there was a void in the family that needed to be filled. That’s when kiely our second golden joined the family. Now at this time both my brothers were out of the house. The responsibilities of taking care of kiely fell upon me and I was more than happy to uphold them. I know of many parks and trails around this area that are perfect for dogs as well. I am currently working for my mother as an assistant of sorts in her dietetics practice. The hours are flexible so I'll be there for whatever you or your furry friend need. I am easygoing and adaptable. Whatever specifications you layout and accommodations you require, I will oblige. Dogs are a part of the family as thus should be treated so. Whether old or young, sick or healthy, just as you would, I will passionately care for your dog.

“Purvi was outstanding. We need someone the last minute. Purvi took duck in and kept us inform duck never been with other dogs Purvi seen that duck might need to be separated from those dogs and made a separated area for her. When i picked her up she was calm and just sitting with Purvi”

“I highly recommend Emma. She was quick with communication and very professional. She took excellent care of our dog, Sydney, and shared photos/videos of her during her stay. She has a very good understanding of dog behavior and I trust her with my dog. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with dogs and my genuine passion for caring for them. I grew up with my beloved Maltese, who was a part of my life for many years and truly shaped my love for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends, family members, coworkers, and even my pastor—building a reputation as the reliable, loving go-to pet sitter in my community. As a teacher, I bring patience, structure, and lots of heart to everything I do—including pet care. I treat every dog like one of my students: with kindness, respect, and a deep commitment to their well-being. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior dog, I adapt to their needs, provide consistent care, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As I’m currently off for summer break, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available to welcome dogs into my home or provide in-home care at your place through September. I’m happy to give your pets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of how I care for every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and educator, I understand how important it is to create a secure, loving environment—whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. I live near a beautiful local reservoir with a safe walking path that I’ve used with many dogs over the years. I’m very familiar with the area and always remain alert and aware during walks to ensure your pet’s safety. I would never put your beloved pet, another animal, or anyone else in a risky situation. Their well-being comes first—always. As a teacher, safety is second nature to me. I bring that same responsibility and care into my pet-sitting—balancing structure and protection with plenty of fun, love, and tail wags along the way!
“Jiyao and Yiting take great care of my pup! They are patient and knowledgeable about animals and how to best care for them. My girl came home happy and I had great peace of mind! They communicate well and are kind. I highly recommend them!”

About: I have over 25 years of experience watch dogs. The last two years I have been working with the See Eye Foundation as a Puppy Sitter. I sit for puppies 8 weeks to 13 years old, for a single day to over a week. I also have a 12 year-old English Fox Hound that likes to take me on walks/runs daily I am currently retired and this leave me plenty of time to take care of your dog. I am an avid runner and cyclist, so walking or even running with your dog is not a problem I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a 3-acre property where dogs can roam and run. I do have a 120 foot leash that lets the dogs run without fear of them running away. If your dog likes to play fetch or just do a lot of exploring, the yard is ideal for them. I am also available to do multiple daily check ins and walks if the dog prefers to stay at home.
“A warm inviting start on Miso’s first day with Jason and Brit. Miso is very small and was given a lot of extra lap time and alone time with Jason and Brit. After a bad experience in Philadelphia at a doggy daycare center she needed extra everything and she got it. She came home, ate and is fast asleep! It was good day ☺️”

“Kumud and her family were wonderful. She was very attentive and very thorough making sure our pup Theo was properly taken care of. Kumud has a fun and caring family that make it a very fun environment for all types of dogs. Will definitely be back for more doggy day care!”

“It was my first time using Tiffany and I was very happy with her service. Both her and her husband and adorable dog, were very friendly, conscientious, and loving towards my dog JJ. I highly recommend them and definitely will be back!”

“Kristina has a lovely home, perfectly set up for the puppos when they come visit. I was impressed with her level of professionalism and the attention that she had to meeting the special needs of my pup. Highly recommend booking Kristina!”

“Kamini was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She kept me updated every few hours with photos and videos of Biscuit having the best time with her dog, Pia. He came home happy and tired! I 100% recommend her services and will absolutely be rebooking soon!”

“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”

“Tom is very easy to talk to and very accommodating. Communication was quick. Tom also sent a lot of pictures in which my dog Toby seemed very happy and relaxed. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I truly treat every pup like family. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves playtime and long walks or a senior who prefers a slower pace and extra snuggles, I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and making sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and completely at home while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and walks, and I structure my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of interaction and affection. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a calm, cozy environment where they’re free to relax, play, and feel comfortable. All outdoor time is fully supervised and on-leash to ensure safety at all times. Walks, potty breaks, and fresh air are built into the daily routine. I also have a friendly dog at home who genuinely loves the company of other dogs. I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and monitor interactions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pup prefers space or slower socialization, I can easily adjust to meet their needs. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite habits — so they feel secure in their own environment. My goal in any setting is to provide loving, attentive care where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!

About: Hi there, I am new to Rover but all my life I have loved and cared for animals. I got my first kitten when I was five and in my adult life expanded that love and care to dogs. I currently do not have one of my own but I am a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter. Throughout my adult life I have had wonderful neighbors with whom we have traded dog walking and overnight care with while traveling. Now that I am newly retired I am looking to expand my time and attention to pet parents living in Annandale and Clinton. I am available to drop in, walk and play with your best friend in your neighborhood, and I can stay overnight while you are out of town to keep your dog safe and secure in their known environment. I am also happy to assist with simple chores in your home such as taking care of plants, retrieving mail and any other small but important tasks. I am also willing to board dogs and cats in my home if that is more convenient for pet parents. I am newly retired so have a fairly flexible schedule. I do stay engaged with other activities and travel, so scheduling in advance is very important to me so that when I do schedule care for a pet I want to be sure I have the time to give them the full love and attention they deserve. I am very active for my age in that I run, swim, bike and play pickleball for exercise. Rest assured I am fit enough to handle any dog on a leash. The shelter I volunteer at I deal with a variety of dog personalities and energy levels and adjust accordingly. If you are looking for a pet sitter in your home I can remain in your home for the duration, or if you are just looking for someone to stay overnight with your pet that works too. I am here to accommodate pet parents with whatever accommodations they and their pet are comfortable with. I live on a cul-de-sac with only three other homes on our street. We have a natural, wild area partially in the back and to the side of our home so there is plenty of open space. I have walked many miles throughout my friendly neighborhood streets walking my previous dogs and my neighbor's dog. While in a client's home I am willing to adhere to any schedule the pet parents desire. I am very conscientious of physical security of my property and that of others.
“Wade, was great our dog loves him and he really cares about what he is doing for her, appreciate it and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter/walker. He was able to squeeze us in last minute as well.”

“Meghan has been absolutely wonderful!! She goes above and beyond to care and love our puppy, Daisy!! She always leaves detailed reports, so many great pictures and checks in with me! I don’t have to worry at all knowing she’s taking care of our little girl! Thank you Meghan!!!”

About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I’m a proud mom to a 20-year-old cat and an aunt to many other beloved pets. I love going on long walks, so let me know if your pet would enjoy coming along! I work from home and make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I like to take long walks in the evenings and would love some company! I have a 20 year old kitten named Wilbur who is the sweetest. I understand that pets are more than just pets, they’re part of the family, and deserve to be treated as a family member. I also understand the importance of being reassured your baby is loved and well taken care of in your absence and will follow all provided instructions and guidance.

She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.

About: Im 30 years old, the youngest of three boys. I am a former athlete and current student at RVCC studying dietetics. Growing up we had two golden retrievers( both females so my mom wasn’t alone in that regard). With our first dog Shannon me and my brothers all shared the responsibility of taking care of. After Shannon had passed we felt that there was a void in the family that needed to be filled. That’s when kiely our second golden joined the family. Now at this time both my brothers were out of the house. The responsibilities of taking care of kiely fell upon me and I was more than happy to uphold them. I know of many parks and trails around this area that are perfect for dogs as well. I am currently working for my mother as an assistant of sorts in her dietetics practice. The hours are flexible so I'll be there for whatever you or your furry friend need. I am easygoing and adaptable. Whatever specifications you layout and accommodations you require, I will oblige. Dogs are a part of the family as thus should be treated so. Whether old or young, sick or healthy, just as you would, I will passionately care for your dog.

“Just had a weekend away while Natalie and Kevin cared for Coop again! He was so excited when we arrived at their home that I couldn’t even get his belongings out of the car for how hard he was trying to get to Kevin! That says everything you need to know when leaving your beloved pet in the care of another. I know he was happy and loved while we were gone. Thank you again for caring for Coopy and giving us peace of mind while we were away!!”

“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”

“I simply couldn’t ask for a better home to leave our dog. Lisa is an absolute professional, and the entire family gives Odin so much love, it is incredible. We always look forward to the photos and videos of Odin playing with his buddy Bear, snuggling with the kids, or enjoying a walk. It’s great to know that when we go on vacation, our dog also gets to go on vacation! I am so grateful I found Lisa.”

“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”

“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”

“Tanvi and her family, down to their dog were excellent! They were affectionate, caring and playful with coco. I received an abundance of videos and photos everyday that kept my worries at bay. It was my first time using a dog sitter/ Rover and was fortunate to find Tanvi who was a perfect fit. Coco was visibly happy there and it was a reflection of their care. Thank you!”

“With a last minute request, Suneetha immediately responded with a YES and we were so happy. Once we met her, we became even happier - and as the overnight stay progressed, we were more and more delighted with her care and communication. We will book her again when we're in the area (we used to live here and are visiting family and friends as we pass through). We HIGHLY recommend Suneetha for your dogsitting and boarding needs!!”

“If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was our first time using Meghan and she was amazing. We planned to have her watch our dog from Wednesday to Monday for a long weekend getaway, and then a snowstorm canceled our flight and we ended up being stuck away for 4 extra days. Meghan was so helpful and offered to go buy extra food for our pup since we had only packed him the amount he originally needed, and made us feel so comfortable leaving him there for what turned out to be such a long time. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my dog was having SUCH a good time. Usually when we pick our dog up from a sitter he is crying and squealing with excitement to see us… this time when we finally picked him up, he literally tried to go back into Meghan’s house and did not want to leave. He’s been depressed ever since we brought him back home… slightly heartbreaking for us LOL but a testament to what a great time he had with Meghan!”

“Whitney and Michael took excellent care of our dog, Mango, for a couple of days. They kept us updated with regular photos, which gave us peace of mind. I was late for pickup, but they were very understanding and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”

“Sarah is the perfect sitter. She is caring and attentive and has a wonderful setup. Her dog, Luka, is friendly and got along well with Ulla. I recommend her highly, and we will use her again. Thanks Sarah!”

“We will definitely be using Robert again. He spoiled Banjo and sent us daily updates to allow us to focus on our vacation. It's wonderful to have a dependable place for our boy when we came take him.”

“Emma, absolutely spoiled Kenzo! He had a blast with her, she took care of every need of our demanding cat. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”


“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”

“Peter is highly responsible and provided excellent care for my dog, offering regular updates and pictures, and demonstrating prompt responsiveness in communication. He kept my dog engaged with play, ensuring he did not feel lonely. Undoubtedly, Peter will be my 1st choice for caring for Lucky during my next vacation, and I recommend him to other pet owners.”
