Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable adapting to all personalities ~ from energetic and social to more shy or sensitive. Growing up, our home always had multiple dogs, so I’m very used to different temperaments, routines, and dynamics. I’ve also had hands-on experience supporting pregnant dogs and caring for litters, including situations where extra attention and patience were needed early on. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their behavior, energy, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very social and friendly, and since we’re new to the area, she would love to make some new friends as well. I’m happy to care for your dog in whatever way they need ~ whether that’s boarding, drop-in visits, or a relaxed walk around your neighborhood. My goal is always to provide dependable care and make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I look forward to connecting with you! I currently work full-time in a hybrid remote role. I offer my services on days I’m working from home so I can give your dog consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. If you need boarding services, you can expect that your dog would spend their time lounging in my home with me and my dog, Khalesi. We have a fenced-in dog park within the community, but I prefer to take them on long strolls near the grassy areas so they can get plenty of new smells to sniff.
“Jacqueline is by far the BEST doggie sitter I have ever been to. She not only cares for your dog or dogs as her own that she truly goes above and beyond for them. I dropped him off the other day and told her he was tired so she put him down for a nap. I don’t think there’s anyone in the world I would trust other than my family with my dog except Jacquline and her family. They are also kind and compassionate and I highly highly recommend them.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Sol, Diego! You did an amazing job. I truly appreciate how you updated me with pictures and videos of my precious pet during my time away. Your care and attention meant the world to me and I am grateful for your dedication. Thank you, Diego!”
“Bhavani V is awesome! She took great care and provided daily updates of our fur baby while we were out of town. We highly recommend her to everyone and trust her with all future boarding needs. Thank you so much, Bhavani:)”
“Jenn is the first sitter we’ve ever used for our one year old yorkie. We were so nervous but ended up having the best experience. Jenn was very responsive and sent us pictures throughout the day. Also a plus that her kids were there to play with our Bella and keep her engaged. I can tell she felt so loved. We will be using Jenn again very soon.”
“Vanessa was great. She took the time to do a meet and greet before dog boarding. She also made sure to note everything there is to know about how to take care of my dog and his tendencies.”
“A+ Kind, attentive, communicative, flexible. The photo of our dog Charlie sprawled out in front of the fireplace within an hour of us dropping him off says it all. He feels safe, secure, relaxed, and loved. Tynesha has become Charlie’s resort vacation destination anytime we go away.”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her again.”
“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“I would 100% recommend booking Dhruvit as a sitter. One of our dogs has special needs including three different types of medication and a a special harness. The other is just very high energy and we were able to rest easy knowing our fur babies were in the hands of true animal lovers. Our dog Morty has back issues which made us hesitant to leave him with a sitter, but when we picked him up he was in better shape then when we left… 10/10 !!!”
“Jessica is fantastic!!! Alfredo was adored for a full week and we could not be more satisfied. Jessica and her hubby love dogs - that is clear. She was kind enough to send me videos and photos each day! We got home yesterday and today Alfredo is looking all over for her and for the happy pooch friends he made. Could not recommend more.”
“Victor and Lesly were the perfect sitters. They followed our instructions perfectly and provided lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely rebook the next time we’re out of town.”
“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”

“Alison was punctual & caring throughout her shifts. She sent photos of my kitties eating & being petted. Alison, did really well with scooping the liter box as well. I can see myself hiring Alison again!”
“Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.”

“Ellen did a great job watching our kitties while we were away for the week. We have one cat that has “accidents” and Ellen did a great job cleaning up after him. We came home from a long trip to clean litter, minimal mess and happy kitties! THANKS ELLEN!”
“McKenna did a wonderful job caring for my cats while I was on vacation. It did my heart good to see the daily check-ins and pictures of my cats enjoying her company. I will definitely choose McKenna going forward.”

“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”

“As soon as we turn the corner Bruno knows he’s going to Katie’s house and loves visiting. It's always a fun day filled with other doggie friends and new activities. Katie is simply wonderful and informative throughout the day. Bruno can’t wait to return!”
“Max’s stay at Jessica’s was absolutely amazing! His adjustment (well, really our adjustment lol) was so smooth, and we felt very comforted with the updates and seeing our boy so happy and loved. We feel fortunate to have found such a sweet and caring dog sitter, and can’t wait for him to have many more great experiences!”

“Just lost our dog a couple weeks ago, so it's my first time to look for daycare for Milan. I contacted Jessica and was able to schedule a meet and greet that same day. Milan stayed with them today for the first time, and she seems to have enjoyed herself. She was very quiet in the car and asleep now. Those, to me, are signs of a tired dog! Jessica has been very responsive, accommodating, and flexible. Milan is booked again for next week. Looking forward to it!”
“Thank you very much Jacqueline for your excellent and cordial care. I feel very comfortable and confident. I definitely recommend the good service that Jacqueline provides. Five stars are to few for you !!!”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. Born into a cat family, that soon became a cat and dog family, I’ve learned the proper ways to care for animals and treat each one I see as if they’re family. The same way animals make me happy, I want to make them happy. I currently work on a hybrid schedule, going in the office twice a week Mondays Thursdays, and working from home the rest of the week. My fiancé works from home all 5 weekdays and takes care of things during those 9-5 hours until I come home :) I pay attention to what the animal wants. I offer playfulness and affection, but never forcing it in the cases where the animal just needs company. I make sure the pet is walked and eating on a schedule given.
“Andria is a wonderful pet sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and truly appreciated all the updates she shared during his stay. Her fenced backyard is perfect for dogs to safely explore and enjoy their time. We will absolutely be using her services again—highly recommend!”
“We needed a last minute sitter while traveling to New Jersey and Dhruvit and his family were such a blessing. They accepted right away and they were flexible even when we ran a bit behind on pick up. They sent photos often which always puts me at ease and my Melo came back to me happy.”
“It’s our first time with this application and Bhavani was kind enough to guide me through the process … Romeo first time with his sitter was awesome 🫶🥰 he was happy and exited from the moment he went inside her house and made a new friend and happy to leave when the care was over. Bhavani was very informative, detailed , and was almost in communication with me through the day with videos and pictures updates … very nice and spacious backyard for Romeo to run around 😊 followed instructions with food and potty accordingly.. I will definitely choose her over and over again trusting her with our family dog … thank you Bhavani 🫶 for making Romeo stay an awesome and trusted stay.”

About: Hi! My name's Mike I've grown up with dogs all my life - parents had a small Maltese, and all my close friends had dogs of all sizes - which I was known to be the designated voluntary caretaker for. I helped raise 2 wonderful blue nose Pitbulls, a French Bulldog, a Golden, a short haired Chihuahua, and 2 German Shepards before I even started college. You should hire me for my ability to properly care for a dog, and my undivided attention. No feeding from the hand, no jumping on strangers, rewarding good behavior (not barking at the door, sitting before food, etc.). You can rest assured that your fluffy bundle of joy will be the center of my attention at all times, and I will always be encouraging good behavior to the extent of the current training of your pet!! I currently live in a large home with no family members or pets, so there's plenty of space for you pet to explore. No trash or clutter on the floor, no dust, no smoke, no sharp objects, nothing in the house that contains typical pet allergies (but please let me know if there are specifics!) Hope to meet some wonderful pets!!
“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.
“I reached out to Alison when I was sick and unable to walk my dog, Ace, and she responded right away. She was kind, friendly, and very reliable throughout the booking. Ace absolutely loved her—every time he came back from a walk, he didn't even want to come back inside! It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. 🐾💕”

I follow your routines closely from feeding schedules and potty breaks to playtime, walks, or cuddle time.

About: With over 16 years of hands on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up surrounded by family dogs, taking an active role in their feeding, grooming, bathing, exercise, and playtime. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read a dog’s body language, keep them mentally stimulated, and make them feel safe and loved no matter how long they’re with me. My girlfriend Goldie is currently in school to become a Vet and has been caring for animals even longer than me! , Your baby will always be in a pet-friendly, knowledgeable environment. My flexible work schedule as a tattoo artist means there’s almost always someone home to give your dog attention, walks, and companionship. Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses for as long as I can remember. From feeding and grooming to bath time and endless games of fetch, caring for pups is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my amazing girlfriend, who’s in school to become a veterinarian…so your furry friend will always be surrounded by love and animal know-how. I’m a tattoo artist with a flexible schedule, working nearby from 11–5, and when I’m out, my girlfriend is home. When she’s in class, I’m here meaning your pup will never ever be alone. We live just steps away from a big park (perfect for adventures!) and have plenty of indoor space as well as a fenced in front and back yard! Perfect for zoomies, snuggles, and playtime. Our house is stocked with toys, treats, and cozy spots to nap in.
About: I've cared for dogs, including mine, for as long as I can remember! In doing so, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, and sometimes even grooming said dogs, of which all owners have said that I did an excellent job! In my transition to college, I have a month where I'll be given all the free time in the world, which makes it the perfect opportunity to give some pet owners their well-deserved free time as well! I have one 45-pound female dog who loves running in our fenced backyard! Additionally, we have a dog park only a few blocks away, giving us even more room to run and play! Whenever we aren't home, we have a nice crate that our dog stays in with peaceful music playing in the background in case she gets anxious!
“Debra is fantastic. Our little guy is new to the family so she had to deal with us acclimating to him at the same time she did. She keeps me updated on his progress and how her visits go. We're happy to have someone checking on him who treats him like their own!”
