“Christina put an immense amount of attention into my dog Maia. She gave me an update with pics every night and gave me a sense of assurance that my dog was in great hands and being given a wonderful amount of attention. I will definitely ask Christina and her husband Nick to watch my dog in the future whenever I need to. 20/10 service!”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Let me save you some time...if you need a cat sitter and Rita is available, do yourself a favor and just reserve her services. She took care of my cat, Simba, for almost a week, and the whole experience felt like dropping him off at a family member’s that I could trust. Ditto other reviews, Rita’s communication was top notch – pro-actively providing health and status updates and sharing fun pictures/videos at least few times a day. It's very obvious she has a genuine affection for pets. She also exercised a lot of patience approaching and gaining my cat’s trust as he’s very skittish especially in a new environment. Her distinctive ability to read my cat’s body language ensured that Simba was always within his comfort zone (literally the cat whisperer!!) Additionally, her set up’s great with a separate room in her apartment that provided Simba with privacy and alone time that all cats need. Could not recommend her enough for cat sitting!! Gut feel her rates are very fair for the quality of professional service she provides. I’d almost rather drop my cat off with her than family as I can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands. Thanks Rita!”
“Kun, his wife and their pup Som were incredible hosts to Thor! They were amazing communicators, consistently kept you updated, and were extremely mindful to ask about any health concerns, allergies or tendencies. Thor was very sad to leave them but he will definitely see them again! They also provided us with the cutest Polaroid photo of him and Som! Thank you both so much for allowing Thor to stay with you!!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, flexible, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort the whole time. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog loved her instantly and was happy and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend — will definitely book again!”
“Karla is amazing!! This is the second time we left our dog under her supervision. She sent us updates every morning and evening which is so great. My dog is paralyzed and needs special attention, but she was so amazing with him. You could easily tell that he loves her. Thank you so much Karla for your patience with Fido!!!! You are THE BEST!!!!”
“First Impressions Boarding my dog, Lilly, with someone outside the family for the first time made me a little nervous. My granddaughter, who had used Rover before, helped me submit the application and choose a sitter. Even on the way to drop Lilly off, I still felt apprehensive, but that quickly changed when Teresa gave us such a warm welcome and Lilly and I were greeted by Teresa’s three friendly dogs. Although Lilly seemed a bit overwhelmed at first, she soon relaxed after playing in Teresa’s large backyard, and I felt comfortable leaving her there. Updates During Her Stay Teresa reassured me that Lilly would be well cared for and promised to keep me updated. She followed through by sending photos and notes about how Lilly was sleeping, eating, and taking her medicine, which I really appreciated. Pickup and Overall Experience When I picked Lilly up, Teresa told me what a joy she had been to care for. She said Lilly was very sweet, that her daughter had fallen in love with her, and even one of her dogs had taken a liking to her. Teresa also said Lilly would be welcome back anytime. I left feeling grateful for the care Lilly received and would happily trust Teresa with her again.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Dream dog sitters! They give my dog so much attention, play time with other dogs and outdoors, and cuddles that I don’t think he has a moment free to miss me. And they’re great about making sure that he gets his medications. I feel very fortunate to have found them!”
“Funda is just amazing. She took good care of my furbaby even with my short notice. She made it easy for us too as we were all set with our appointment yesterday. The rover sitter I booked last week cancelled my booking at the last hour due to an untoward incident. Funda was all flexible with my need as to her availability for drop off and pick up time. Cuppy had a great time playing in her huge yard with her kids. He felt safe with them. She also sent photos and videos of Cuppy. I highly recommend Funda to be your next dog sitter. She’s just wonderful! We will request her again for our future need. Thank you so much Funda!”
“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”
“Enis is Excellent! So very caring and capable. Especially kind and patient with my young,(very) energetic pup who loves staying with him. I highly recommend Enis and will definitely book again!”
“Chloe and her husband were once again amazing with our dog! While we were away for the weekend we received tons of pictures of George looking happy and settled while at their place :)”
“Christine was such a fantastic caretaker for our miniature schnauzer! Her two dogs were friendly and kept him busy all week and they looked like they had a lot of fun. I was sent plenty of fun pics and videos throughout my time away. Would definitely book again!”
“She’s fantastic! Michelle ensures that your animal is loved, care for - takes time to feed and do the routines that your dog has daily. She has a super clean home with an area just for your dog that makes you feel like it’s a doggy hotel! Nameplate and first time sitter certificate was a nice touch. We received many updates of all kinds - videos, pictures and texts throughout her stay. Her own dogs are lovely and kept Lulu active and entertained (she s a puppy so it was great!). We plan on booking her again if available and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Michelle!!”

“Andrew was such a wonderful sitter for my two cats. Both warmed up to him quickly and I felt confident they were in good hands. Andrew kept me up to date with detailed notes and amazing pics. I am so happy to have booked with him and will for sure rebook for future sitting needs.”
About: I’ve raised my own kitties, and the 2 cats I have now are both 8 years old from the same litter. I do all the tasks to keep my cats healthy and well taken care of. I also give one of my cats their oral allergy medication. I will always make your cat’s needs and safety my priority. They will feel loved while their human is away.
“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”
“We’ve worked with Christina several times now and she’s always so great! She is excellent at checking in, following any and all instructions, and just really kind and caring to our cats.”
About: I have experience caring for cats through pet-sitting for friends, family, and family friends. I'm comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following each cat's individual routine. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and strive to provide patient, loving, and reliable care while keeping them comfortable in their home environment.
“My cat Salem is super shy around most people but warmed up quickly to Victoria and adored her. She was the perfect drop in sitter! She is very caring and did an excellent job making sure all of Salem’s needs were met while I was away. Victoria is a gem I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Geoff provided amazing and attentive care for our 4 1/2 yo cat while we were away for 6 days. She was alone for the first time since we brought her home from the shelter 6 months ago and we were concerned about her getting lonely. He did a great job of earning her trust and keeping us informed along the way. We returned home to a healthy and well adjusted cat. Thank you, Geoff!”
“This was my first time taking my babygirl (cat) to any boarding or sitting services and while my baby was not the nicest Angelica was great! She made everything about the experience nice and easy, she sent me pictures and updates and responded almost instantly. I told my cat to get used to it ‘cause we’re coming back! 🖤”
About: I’ve always loved cats as I have a feral cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats of all personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that every cat has their own routine and preferences, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles (if they allow them!), administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every cat like they’re part of my own family. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Enis went above and beyond. He was completely reliable and very generous with his time. He had a natural rapport with my cat and I would absolutely use his services again. Thanks, Enis! :)”
“Yaneira took such great care of my kitties while I was gone. I love that she kept me updated and that she sent me pics throughout her stay. She has a very friendly demeanor and knows how to approach and handle cats. My skittish kitties warmed up to her quickly! I highly recommend Yaneira and I will book her again soon because I want my cats to be in good hands. Thank you and paws up!”
“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”
“Hi Jess You did an amazing job with Gracie despite her reluctancy to make friends. We were able to enjoy some days with family worry free thanks to You!!Great experience. Jess definitely has a talent for photography. I loved all the pictures she posted and saved them all. Top notch service!”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

As for my background, I have interned at Oradell Animal Hospital observing surgeries, sitting in on clinical appointments, and familiarizing myself with different dog breeds and their unique personalities and medical needs.

“Rocio is THE best!! She helped me out, last-minute, with my two pups. She’s extremely caring and attentive to my dogs and I receive multiple updates (w/photos) throughout the day. The best part is, not only do they come home super tired, but also they smell AMAZING! Thank you, Rocio - Cooper & Luna are SO excited to get into the car every morning 😁”
“She is really thoughtful and caring! She sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated on our dog, and I could tell from those photos that she truly loves dogs. She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”
“My puppy Sonic and I are so lucky to have found someone as reliable and trustworthy as Evelyn. I got many videos of Sonic throughout the day and he was just having a blast. I will be booking again. Thank you Evelyn !”
“If you’re looking for an excellent experience for your dog when daycare is needed, Enis simply knocks it out of the park! My dog usually has an “inspection” phase when meeting his care taker initially, but with Enis, he was instantly at ease and was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Very impressed and I will definitely contact Enis again in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and accept only one family at a time, allowing me to give each pet individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that require additional monitoring or support. I am also happy to reinforce training and routines that owners are already working on at home. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, on the couch, or in bed with their family, I will follow the routine you have established at home whenever possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I provide personalized care and keep my schedule flexible so that the pets in my care receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I rarely leave the house for more than an hour, and only occasionally for up to two hours if I need to run an errand. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, companionship, and plenty of supervision. Because I only host one family at a time, I am able to give each pet my full attention and maintain the routine they are used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, relaxing on the couch, sleeping in a crate, or curling up on the bed, I do my best to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. Providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment is extremely important to me. My home is organized with pet safety in mind, and I strive to create a peaceful setting where dogs can relax and feel at home. Communication is also a priority, and owners can expect regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their pet’s stay.
“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”
“Can’t say enough good things about the way Andrew took care of Conor. Great setting and logistics to accommodate Conor’s needs and safety… crazy amount of exercise and on top of that Andrew shared tips at the end of the day to improve Conor’s overall behaviour. 100/10”
“Gargi and Sourav are fantastic with my dog. Waldo seemed to get comfortable instantly and their dog Archie was a great company for my dog as well!”
“Alvaro is such a great dog sitter! Felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in a safe environment, taken care of, and looked after. Would return to Alvaro in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Alvaro for helping me feel at ease while I was away from my daughter.”
“This is definitely my first experience and the best too! I am pleased because my dog enjoyed her day with Jess. She is the sweetest dog sitter I've known ever. Thank you, Jess. You have a special connection with my doggy. So nice and sweet!!! Thank you!!!”
“Chulmin and Hoyjin took really good care of Brian for his daycare. Brian had so much fun with other dogs that he didn’t want to come home at the end! Would definitely book again.”
“Zuleyka took Blue in for 8 days. She was very flexible with the reservation since I confirmed almost last minute. There was not one day without many updates and pictures, and she also bathed Blue as he got dirty. Zuleyka was very professional and friendly since the beginning to end, not to mention that Blue was not behaving too good at first and she was still ok with him and communicating all Blue’s needs and moods as he was sad without us. I could see how his fave changed to a quick “Happy” a couple of days later. I would definitely book Zuleyka again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends.

I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.

About: As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and clear communication are part of my everyday life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care.

During the summer I am working less hours I am available Monday- Friday after 3 pm and the weekends I am free all day.

During drop-in visits I am capable of doing anything that is needed to care for your dogs needs.

A morning and afternoon schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.
About: I moved to New Jersey three years ago, and since then I’ve been caring for pets for multiple families through drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I make sure each pet is safe, loved, and well taken care of—whether that means giving medications, going on walks, or spending time playing in the backyard while you’re at work, on vacation, or visiting family. I specialize in both puppy and adult dog care, including high-energy and “quirky” personalities. No matter the pet, I believe all they really need is patience, consistency, and love. Over the past few years, I’ve built experience providing reliable, attentive, and efficient care, including overnight stays where I treat every pet like my own. Welcome to The Zoomies Club 🐾 — where every pet is family, energy is embraced, and care always comes with love. My goal is always to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for like family. I currently have open availability, so I’m flexible and ready when you need me.

Whether it’s zoomies or chill time, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home 🐾💕
“Jonathan was so great! He was communicative and punctual and did a great job walking my high-energy, large Pit mix. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup. Highly recommend!!”
“Erica is great with my 5 month puppy Maisie. Every picture Maisie is smiling looking so happy! Erica is responsive and always checks in to make sure she does exactly what Maisie needs. Highly Recommended!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals of all ages and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Last summer, I independently took care of my friend’s four dogs for an entire month, which included overnight stays and house sitting responsibilities. The dogs ranged from 1 to 10 years old, so I’m comfortable handling both energetic younger dogs and older dogs who may need extra patience and care. I’ve also been taking care of my own dog since I was 8 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with daily care, walks, feeding, and attention. In addition, I have experience caring for less than week-old kittens on my own, which taught me how attentive, gentle, and responsible I need to be when caring for animals. During the school year, I attend school, but I have a very flexible schedule with my classes and plenty of availability before and after school as well as on weekends. During the summer, when I plan to do more pet sitting and dog walking, my schedule will be very open and flexible. I’m able to work around pet owners’ needs and can provide walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care at a variety of times throughout the day. I’m very reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure pets stay on their normal routines and feel comfortable while in my care. I currently do not offer boarding or pet sitting in my own home due to having pets of my own, but I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routines by following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication instructions if needed, and giving them lots of attention and care while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages, including nursing less than week-old kittens and independently caring for four dogs for a month while house sitting. I understand how important trust and safety are when leaving your pets with someone, and I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Lillian is amazingly attentive and walks my dog like a pro. She is there on time and can be there early if needed. I would recommend her to any friend of mine in need of a dog walker!”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Bishop! She was available on very short notice, which was such a huge help, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy and well looked after. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. We are so thankful for her flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amelia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!”
“This man PHENOMENAL! I was running late. He didn’t cancel neither did he leave. He waited I arrived past schedule time and he still meet Luna and took her for her 30 min walk. He definitely surpass my expectations. you rock Enis! Hopefully we get to see you again soon! As in soon I mean tomorrow thank you for treating her as if she was your own”
About: I have walked dogs for the last three years, on and off, ranging all the way to 100 pounds. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I have my own 4 year old 60lb husky as well! I am currently on summer break from my job, so I am available seven days a week until August 15. There is a chance that day may change. I always make sure I feel comfortable taking the dog outside. I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.
“Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?”

I have just graduated with my Bachelor's Degree and am working part-time as a medical receptionist so I have extra time to look after your furry loved ones. I have pivoted my career path but I still have a special place in my heart for caring for animals and am on Rover to fulfill that! I can also take care of cats or any small animals. I am able to provide plenty of quality time with your pups! My schedule is that I work part-time and I try to keep my Calendar updated as much as I can. Safety is a top priority. I always stay attentive when opening/closing front doors and make sure there isn’t anything unsafe on the floor or reachable for your pet! In terms of play, I love to provide your dogs with mental and physical stimulation. Bring your dog’s favorite toys and treats, and I’ll be sure to have some fun with them and make your dog feel comfortable. I look forward to get to know you and your wonderful dog soon.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and love meeting new pets. I am a dog owner myself, which has allowed me to learn more about dogs and their individual needs. I have experience administering oral medications. I have also learned to figure out if something is wrong, or if they need medical care. I will make sure to care for your pet as if it was my own. I know it’s hard leaving our pets so please let me know what I can do to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. I recently moved to New Jersey and I’m currently unemployed. I am a mom to a toddler, and I’m unable to do any long term overnight stays, but may make an exception if it’s only a day. I can feed your pet, administer medication, take them on walks or just simply hang out so they are not lonely while you are gone.

“Christina put an immense amount of attention into my dog Maia. She gave me an update with pics every night and gave me a sense of assurance that my dog was in great hands and being given a wonderful amount of attention. I will definitely ask Christina and her husband Nick to watch my dog in the future whenever I need to. 20/10 service!”
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Let me save you some time...if you need a cat sitter and Rita is available, do yourself a favor and just reserve her services. She took care of my cat, Simba, for almost a week, and the whole experience felt like dropping him off at a family member’s that I could trust. Ditto other reviews, Rita’s communication was top notch – pro-actively providing health and status updates and sharing fun pictures/videos at least few times a day. It's very obvious she has a genuine affection for pets. She also exercised a lot of patience approaching and gaining my cat’s trust as he’s very skittish especially in a new environment. Her distinctive ability to read my cat’s body language ensured that Simba was always within his comfort zone (literally the cat whisperer!!) Additionally, her set up’s great with a separate room in her apartment that provided Simba with privacy and alone time that all cats need. Could not recommend her enough for cat sitting!! Gut feel her rates are very fair for the quality of professional service she provides. I’d almost rather drop my cat off with her than family as I can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands. Thanks Rita!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, flexible, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort the whole time. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog loved her instantly and was happy and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend — will definitely book again!”
“Karla is amazing!! This is the second time we left our dog under her supervision. She sent us updates every morning and evening which is so great. My dog is paralyzed and needs special attention, but she was so amazing with him. You could easily tell that he loves her. Thank you so much Karla for your patience with Fido!!!! You are THE BEST!!!!”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Dream dog sitters! They give my dog so much attention, play time with other dogs and outdoors, and cuddles that I don’t think he has a moment free to miss me. And they’re great about making sure that he gets his medications. I feel very fortunate to have found them!”
“Enis is Excellent! So very caring and capable. Especially kind and patient with my young,(very) energetic pup who loves staying with him. I highly recommend Enis and will definitely book again!”
“Another great stay for my Stormie! A-Class service and every holiday this year I've been traveling to plan my.wedding in 2025, it's been wonderful working with you every time and we still have a few before the ceremony! 😊 💪”
“So happy we found Kathy and Ben to watch our Jeffrey! They were thoughtful about ensuring he had food, water, plenty of walks and play, and we got photos and videos throughout the day. We will definitely be going back and are so happy we found such great people to take care of our dog. We also got a special note about Jeffrey’s stay, which was so sweet to read ?”
“My dog Parker had a wonderful time. It was so nice to know he was treated as family and loved while away. From the updates to pictures was wonderful. Stephanie and her family were amazing. Can not say enough how wonderful she is. Thank you for treating my baby like your own!!!! Best care ever”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Maureen and her family were amazing! Mocha was well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures, and she was so responsive to anything we'd needed! When I arrived to pick Mocha up, he jumped on me to say hi, and then immediately sprinted to the back of the house (not the front door) cause he'd had such a good time there!”
“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
“Elizabeth and Oleg took such great care of Maia! When I picked her up she was smiley, tired from all the playtime (Maia loves to play and they followed instructions), and so happy. They were so helpful and communicative, I’m already looking to book ahead for November.”
“I had the pleasure of booking Kevin for a life-saving last minute booking and not only did he make it work with zero complaints but he was absolutely phenomenal with my little bud. Amazing with his communication as well as updates and pictures/videos ! I was so glad to hear that he was able to manage with such little time how to maneuver with my sometimes odd and overly energetic pup. Highly recommend to others and will be booking again 🥰”
“Euitae was great with my puppy! Communicated with me well throughout the time, sent photos and videos. I felt comfortable leaving her with a new boarder and would work with Euitae again!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
