Both Bonnie and her husband they took great care of him and kept me updated every day and night with photos, walks, meals, and all the little details.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

I really appreciate Kajal and her family looking after Mochi and will seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”

Lucas and Katherine couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive. They were amazing with giving her medicine, checked in daily with updates on how she was eating, and taking the medicine and always sent the sweetest pictures. They even went out of their way to make sure she ate by picking up yogurt, which she loved! Our dog looked right at home and so happy the whole time, which gave us such peace of mind. Truly wonderful sitters who went above and beyond…highly recommend!”

We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix).

I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”

“Jaimie took beautiful care of my gentle giant, Ollie. Ollie is 100 pounds of love and fluff and I was very anxious about leaving him because he is so attached to me. Jaimie made me feel at ease at our meet and greet and we got to meet her pup and cat. With a big fenced in backyard, lots of dog toys, and a comfy couch for lounging, Jaimie made me feel right at home. We told her that Ollie might be too nervous to eat, and she sent pictures and updates constantly. Ollie was eating in no time and Ollie came home happy and well fed. Ollie loves humans snd she sent pictures of her and the dog watching tv together at night and of Ollie with her daughter. I am happy to recommend her and will be using her again!”

Tina paid great attention to the details-she even noticed that our AC temp was a bit too warm for the cats and cleaned up the mess without hesitation. From the photos she sent, I could tell my cats were comfortable with her company. It is such a relief knowking they are in such caring hands, and I can travel with peace of mind.”
About: I've always loved cats and finally adopted my own kitty, Figaro, from a rescue, in 2008. He had a true royal presence, a huge personality and I miss him dearly. He passed last year and since then I've had the pleasure of cat-sitting for friends and family and have so loved my time with all of them. I let cats come to me, I don't force the relationship. I understand they need their space and time to suss me out. Then within a day or two they almost always start to ask for my attention and by the third day, even the most aloof are cuddling next to me or on my lap. I really look forward to meeting your feline companion. I follow instructions well and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax and know your fur baby is in good hands!
“Lisa is wonderful, an experienced pet owner/sitter. The meet and greet was impressive, as she asked detailed questions and requested vet/emergency numbers “just in case.” She followed directions to the T. My three dogs loved her! It was also a huge relief not to have to worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!”
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. From hamsters, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, geckos, etc. I have had them all! I am always a reliable source for pet care when friends and neighbors are away. I currently work weekends and am attending school in the evenings a few days a week- so I have all day to play and care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!

About: The second I look at a dog or a cat, I feel my motherly instincts kick in!! I’m currently a per diem nurse and mental health therapist—giving me plenty of time to be home and love my babies. I noticed lot of pet owners via county pages on fb and I just want to be an extra help to my area while making annoying baby noises gawking at the cuteness of any fur baby. I do live with my morkie, Cinnabon who’s a sassy baby boy. And my partner has his cats, Cheesecake and Chandler Bing who are very friendly towards everyone. All my pets are healthy and on anti flea/tic medications! I work per diem as a nurse meaning my shifts are sparse and short- so I’m home 90% of the time. I love spending my free time with both cats and dogs and would love to meet yours! I have a small fenced yard that is regularly mowed and cleaned. I always replenish the water periodically. I keep my home tidy since I’m used to being around many animals at once. For baths, I either use my tub or the laundry sink basin for my own dog. As for cats, I do have the mesh bath bag that prevents them from clawing. I’m very gentle with my own pets!
“Julissa has been amazing with our little lucy. My wife and I work in the City so finding someone trusting to look after our Cav while we're away was very important to us. Our job can sometimes be demanding as well with odd hours but Julissa has been very accomodating to us. What I love about Julissa is she keeps us posted with photos and updates throughout the day. It always brings a smile to our face knowing that our lucy is having fun and being well taken care of. Would high recommend Julissa for day care needs! Our pup thrives more around humans than other dogs, and Julissa and her family always give Lucy the affection she loves.”
About: I have always been a passionate animal lover and understand that pets are cherished members of the family. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, providing them with the love, attention, and patience they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or simply providing companionship, I ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's routine and individual needs and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where every pet receives personalized care and plenty of affection, just as if they were my own. I am currently working from home and available over the weekend. We are a family of four, so we can always have someone at home in case I have to step out. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, fresh water, and a cozy place to rest. I make sure they get regular exercise and lots of affection while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment.
“I am very happy I found Jose. He took my babies in at the last minute and was great at keeping in contact with me and sending pics and videos. If I ever travel back here with my pups again he will be my go to.”

“Gabby is great. She takes care and gives extra love to the dogs in her care . Her attention to detail is amazing and she truly cares about the dogs like they were her own. I will most certainly be using her again for all my future needs regarding my dog.”
“Tina is excellent. I’m using rover right now because I just had a baby. My dog is very reactive towards other dogs and is a puller so it’s difficult to walk him with a baby. I’m obsessed with my dog and feel awful I cannot give him the love and attention I normally give him. Very thankful I found Tina. She communicates well and I felt at ease as soon as my dog saw her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She even walked my dog a bit extra so that made me and my dog very happy. He came back in a good mood. She’s great and reliable so don’t hesitate to book with her!”

“Kim is amazing! So sweet and attentive to our dog, and very communicative and understanding! Highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for great care and attention for their animals.”
“Ryan has been so patient and sweet with our anxious chihuahua, Pinto. Pinto is nervous around new people and Ryan was very patient allowing Pinto to warm up to him and not rushing him. Pinto now greets Ryan with excitement and loves the walks. Ryan is also dependable and communicative. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend this dog walker! Shama is reliable, caring, and truly passionate about animals. My dog is always excited to see her and comes home happy, well-exercised, and well cared for. Communication is excellent—shama provide updates and are always punctual and dependable. It’s clear she treat every dog as if it were their own. Having someone I can trust with my pet gives me great peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with shama’s service and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
