“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”
“Monica was so great! She was super attentive to Auggi, reached out if she noticed anything out of the norm, and did a great job at sending me photos and updates. I don't think my dog wanted to come home with me haha! Will definitely be using Monica again.”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”
“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle gave our Gunner awesome care! She will give you updates & pictures multiple times a day. Great communication w/drop off & pick up times, and w/ general communication!! Will definitely be using her service again!”
“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“Loki loved his stay with Erica! Erica had a thorough meet and greet with us, asked great questions to make sure all parties felt comfortable. It was great receiving picture updates while I was away. Will definitely book with Erika again!”
“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”
“Beverly was great! She sent several pictures of Lucy throughout the day. Very good communication. Lucy had a great time because she came home exhausted. Would definitely have Beverly watch Lucy again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Amanda is a wonderful sitter and we have used her multiple times! When we bring Rizzo back to drop her off she immediately starts wagging her tail as we approach Amanda’s door as a true sign she loves staying with Amanda!”
“Sierra is an awesome sitter!! My Bentley loves her and she takes really good care of him when she has him, and he is always happy when she sends me pictures of him. I would recommend her to anyone😊”
“Used Charlette again and my pup had a great time! Longest I have been away and the daily pictures and updates were great. Vacation went better knowing he was in great care!”
“Annalise took great care of our pup! Our pup came home exhausted from all the fun she had while she was there! Annalise was very communicative about how our pup was doing, and sent us pictures as well! We will be using her for all of our future pup-sitting needs!”
“Kimberly and her family were wonderful with Flopsy. I was sent daily photos and updates reassuring me that all was well. And her adorable children were kind and gentle. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their pet.”
“Lulu had a blast at Courtney house. She took great care of her and Courtney always got back to me quickly with questions. We look at several sitter and we are so glad we found her!”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”

“Lauren was an amazing pet sitter for our cat while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. We received regular updates and photos, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. It's clear that Lauren genuinely cares about animals, and our kitty was happy, comfortable, and well looked after when we returned home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“I’m so happy that I found Karen! She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She sent so many photos and really made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond when taking care of Arlo, by not only ensuring he was fed but that he had enough play time and attention while I was gone. I would recommend booking her if you need someone reliable and with flexibility. Plus, she'll take a lot of cute photos of your pet!”
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”
“Bri is so kind and attentive! And she loves my cats, which shows in the way they look at her when she’s taking their pics. This is the second time she’s taken care of my kitties and I have been so pleased.”
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!
“Nicole was a gem. She managed our puppy and 9 year old like an expert. She over came our pup's hesitancy and quickly became friends. Look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Ciara continues to be just amazing with our pets. Our cat is skittish and Ciara goes out of her way to try and make her comfortable when she comes to care for her. She's lovely and friendly and really goes the extra mile for pets in her care.”
“Caitlin was great! Professional and responsive. We had a little snafu with the automatic wet feeders the first day- but everything else was perfect. She got great photos of my guys while I was away too-so they were very comfortable with her- which was so nice. i will definitely look for her next time I need drop ins!”
“Shannon was absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, keeping us updated every step of the way. She sent us pictures during each visit, which was such a relief and really helped us feel connected while we were away. Most importantly, she took amazing care of our cat—he clearly loves her! We could tell he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend Shannon for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting to help pay for my dream honeymoon! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, a cat, and a husband (haha) so pet care is second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour and come right back to them right after work. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?!
About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.
“I have used rover a few times with different sitters and while they have been great, Jenna was exceptional! Great communication and sent so many pictures and videos of not only the cats, but also updates on the tasks she was doing (refilling water bowls/cleaning litter). At no point was I worried that she was not genuinely invested in my cats' care (and even our shyer girl seemed to warm up to her very quick). I would 100% recommend working with her.”

“Jenn & Brian made it so easy to plan a daycare stay for my two dogs while I was planning a visit to Niagara Falls. During the day, they sent cute pictures of the dogs, including one with their son having three dogs sit at attention. I could tell when I picked them up they had a great day and made new friends.”
“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”
“Mindy is an excellent, patient and understanding dog sitter. She watched our puppy for a few days, and made more progress with his loose leash walking than we’ve managed to! She’s a real animal lover, and it shows. Our puppy was super exited to see her when I dropped him off on his third day with her. He got to play in the backyard with other dogs, get accustomed to cats thanks to Mindy’s social Bengal mix, and got plenty of walks, exercise and cozy naps. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day.”
About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
“Very nice people and effective communication for any issues or questions about my dog, Pluto Gave me updates during his stay with them! I also would like to thank them for working with me around my late arrival for pickup and thank them for taking him in, even if it was a last minute request.”
“This is the first time I’ve left my pups with a private daycare and I was nervous about it. I shouldn’t have been! My dogs loved it and they now run up the stairs to Alexis when we arrive in the morning. Alexis is a great communicator and I appreciate the pictures she sends. We are now regulars and I highly recommend Alexis!”
“The Best ! We left Fergie with Crystal 2 different days so we could go sight seeing and couldn't be happier with her level of care. The first day Fergie whined a little when we left; the 2nd day she didn't even notice that we left. She loved being with Crystal & we received lots of pictures of their walks & activites. Don't hesitate to allow Crystal to watch your pup. We'll contact her again the next time we're in the Buffalo area. Thanks Crystal !”
“Akeira was such a responsible and kind dogsitter. She kept me updated regularly, which made a big difference. Her dog, Eleanor, is wonderfully gentle and got along so well with my pups. Akeira really put care and attention into making sure they were happy and healthy, including taking them on walks. The fact that my dogs were excited to see her every morning at drop-off says everything. I’d happily trust her with them again.”
“I feel like Courtney isn't just the best dog sitter, she's one of the best humans. She was so welcoming and understanding of my not completely house trained pup, and she's almost like a trainer as well as sitter. She's worked on crate training and commands with my pup, even letting me borrow things to help at home. Five other sitters denied my request to watch a puppy, but Courtney is the ultimate dog lover, and honestly has more patience than anyone I've ever met. My only concern is that my pup loves being at her house maybe more than mine, since Courtney's dogs are her new best friends! I can't recommend her highly enough, except I'll be sad if she ever ends up booked when I need her. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.”
“Highly recommend! Sarah and her family took great care of my pup and treated him like part of the family. They have a lovely home and yard. She also wrote regular updates and sent lots of photos which I'm so greatful for.”
About: Loving, cozy home close to the airport. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds from German shepherds to labs to cocker spaniels and pit bulls. My house is pretty close to the Buffalo airport. Great walkable neighborhood. I work part time so I have lots of time to spoil your fur baby! I have a large backyard. I have 2 cats that can easily be separated in my finished basement if your dog doesn’t like cats.
About: Hi! I'm Caitlin and I have worked with animals professionally for over 10 years in grooming, boarding, training and animal shelters. Now, I work remotely and spend my time with my 4 cats :) My specialty and preference is in cat care and senior dogs. However, I will consider all booking requests. I am currently not able to handle very energetic animals, or animals that are very strong. I am better suited to more relaxed pets. **Important** - I currently work a full time job from home and can be flexible with scheduling. I will work from your home if booked for house sitting, so it is required I have a reliable internet connection! - At this time I require m&gs for all house sitting services before bookings, to ensure our expectations meet and to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. For long term house sitting, I highly reccomend a trial run of 1 day of daycare or a drop in visit. I work from home full time so I am available during the workday when most people are away! I love being able to hangout with new friends during my work week. Safety is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments.
About: I love being around doggies! Since I was 15 I have always had a dog to love and take care of. I'm proud to have raised a happy, friendly and lovable 4 year old husky. I have pet sat for friends before and as an actor, I am an expert at following instructions but also trusting my instincts to care for pets and all living things. I work from home/ from my laptop and have lots of time to spend with your pet all day. In the evenings I might have rehearsal and then my partner ( also a lover of pets) would be more than happy to take over! I have a fenced yard but I do not leave dogs outside unattended. I allow dogs to roam in the house during the day and sleep where they please in the house at night. Any necessary adjustments to that can be made. It is of the utmost importance for me to respect your property and to maintain a consistent schedule.
About: I pay close attention to pets as I do children, treating each with love, respect, compassion, and empathy. Sometimes no words are needed, just a scratch under the chin, chest, head, or ears! Other times, fuzzy friends need to be told what a great gift from God they truly are. I love being sensitive to each creature's individual needs, and cherish the special bonds formed while owners entrust me with their forever family friends. Sometimes that means going the extra mile (literally) if furry friends feel like going for a jog, hike, or swim! Thunderstorms can be the worst for some, soft spoken words, songs, and snuggles are my specialty. If a kennel is preferred I’m in full agreeance. I have been animal/house sitting for over a decade and am grateful for each opportunity given to help and serve. I am a stay at home mom with two kids and two fur babies. On weekends, my husband, kiddos (fur babes included), and I spend time in the outdoors, hiking, picnics, walks etc. Our pets and those that we watch are considered family members, therefore have our constant attention, love, and affection! We have an adequate fenced in backyard space for pups to play and enjoy frequent visits to the park. With drop in, checking food and water are on the list along with potty outside, playing ball (or throwing stuffies/ frisbee 🥏) and rubs.
“Sasha is very personable, great energy...and Homey seemed to enjoy his stay with her on Mother's day...nice to be away and know he was well cared for...lots of pics and updates....highly recommend.”
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
“My fur girl really enjoys her time with Melissa — Melissa is in tune with her needs and can read her cues well. I’d recommend Melissa to anyone who has a fur baby who needs extra TLC!”
“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. We just got a new doggie pool for the heat, and have a pop up agility course to play in.Parks nearby is Knox farm, memorial Park, BurchField and more. My car/dog mobile is set up with dog seatbelts so we can safely drive to our next fun destination( if approved by owner). I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working in the animal industry for over 15 years. I am able to give quality attention and care all day. License is available upon request. Proof of vaccines and flea/tick prevention required PRIOR to drop off. I try to take only one dog but there may be an overlap of a boarding client and daycare client. Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. Prices may vary dependent on the needs of the client and how extensive it may be. I try to give an enriching environment for all pets that I'm caring for, but if they are more mellow, then I'm very good at snuggling. I enjoy outdoor activities and love to bring any dog who wants to explore nature with me. I can take your dog out on multiple leashed walks a day. We can go to a nearby park or sunbathe on my porch. I treat all pets like they are my own family member.

About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 25 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! My goal is to keep your pets happy until their favorite human gets home. 😀 I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)
About: My name is Karlyn. I started working in pet care in 2018 at a pet hotel and doggy daycare. I joined Rover in 2019, and I worked at another dog boarding facility/daycare from 2023-2025. I have extensive training in how to properly care for your dogs (and cats!) I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have three rescue dogs; a 12 year old Papillon named Archie, a 2 year old Papillon named Zoloft, and a 6 year old Maltipoo named Toaster! Although I absolutely adore all dogs, small dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. A little more about me: I am 31 years old and I am an on-set prop master in television/film. I am located in Cheektowaga, but I have a car so I don’t mind traveling a few extra miles! I work freelance so I have an abundance of free time between films! I have no other responsibilities when I’m off set, so I can focus all of my energy on your furry friend! I do everything in my power to make each pet feel comfortable and loved. I also spend a lot of time exercising and mentally stimulating each pet.
“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”
“Nicole has been fantastic to work with! She has taken Oliver on several walks and is always on time and gives us great notes and photos. And Oliver loves her, which is the most important part!”
“Ian is great with our girls. They have nothing but smiles after every walk with him and he is always so helpful when we find ourselves in a pinch, from giving the girls another walk when we where stuck at the airport to even learning how to feed our bearded dragons for when we go on vacation. We are very very happy with Ian and will continue to book with him for sure.”
“Brianna was absolutely wonderful. So kind and caring, she took such good care of my puppy like she was her own. Took her on walks, played with her, laid with her, fed her made sure she went to the bathroom before she left. Will be using her again!!!”
About: I worked at a doggy daycare from 2019-2021 where I not only got to play with dogs of all size but handled cleaning, feeding, medication administration and first aid. From 2021-present I worked at Veterinary Emergency Group learning how to best handle all types of emergencies in all types of animals! I am a current DVM student at St. George’s University where I have learned basic anatomy and pathology during my past year in Grenada! I am available any day any time as I am on break from SGU for my DVM degree! Other than my current externship in Buffalo I have plenty of time for those who need me! I have a backyard and front yard for lots and lots of playing time! I have no issue with however you prefer your pet care!
About: I’m a huge dog lover ever since I was little! Growing up I have had multiple dogs! I’ve had a beagle, boxer, and a dachshund! I’m experienced with all sorts of size dogs. My current pet is a boxer who is very high energy which requires me to give him special attention 24/7. We are either playing ball outside, walking, or playing with toys inside. I’m currently working a part time job so I have a lot of free time on my hand. I would love to be able to spend my free time with dogs. I have a fenced in yard that we always play ball and run around in. My dog also has a crate that is trained for.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, I feel that they are very important members of any family. Taking care of animals and making sure they feel healthy and loved is very important to me. I volunteered at a veterinarian hospital for around 6 months, so I have seen pet care from a more professional perspective. I have also pet sat and walked many dogs for friends and family in my personal life. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time to give the best care to your pet. My schedule varies week to week, but i’ll always keep my calendar up to date as well as letting you know my availability in advance! I make sure pets stay in their normal routine as much as possible. I care for the pets as I would my own, and make sure to follow all specifications owners give to me.
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
“Lana was amazing with my dog Nala! Nala took to her right away. Lana is prompt when answering texts and great at communicating. She always takes lots of pictures and leaves a report card. Thank you for taking great care of Nala!”
About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day. I am currently working part time, with availability anytime after 4 pm Monday through Thursday! In the next 3 weeks my availability will open up a little bit more! I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.

“Claudia was wonderful! It was the first time I used the service and was nervous to depend on someone I didn’t know to take care of my spoiled and very naughty golden retriever puppy (10 months). Claudia put me at ease immediately as she took notes during our conversation and came every time she was scheduled, sending pictures and notes. She asked very good questions and it was clear she had a lot of experience with dogs. I would highly recommend Claudia and loved the way the Rover system is set up.”
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I currently have two big, lovable dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—as well as two cats, so I know how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll get personalized attention and care like one of my own. Hi there! My name is Isabella , and I’m a professional hairstylist working Wednesday through Saturday. On my days off, I’m looking to spend more time doing something else I love—caring for animals. As someone who has had pets my entire life and currently owns two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso) and two cats, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your furry family members. I’d love the opportunity to help out with dog walking or pet care when you need an extra hand. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a side job. I helped raise a litter of kittens growing up, got a dog when I was 13 and have been his primary caregiver ever since, handling everything from daily walks and playtime to training and making sure he stays happy and healthy. Growing up around animals taught me that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized attention. I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own pets, so owners can feel confident that they are in good hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I have been caring for my own dog since I was 13, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he stays happy and healthy are second nature to me. I also grew up with cats, which taught me the importance of providing individualized attention and maintaining a consistent routine. Because caring for animals has always been a part of my life, I enjoy incorporating pet sitting into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment in a client's home is one of my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big responsibility, so I strive to respect each owner's routines, instructions, and preferences. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and closely supervised, while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable presence so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they're away.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of multiple pups and cats over the years. I currently have a dog but she is a bit reactive with other dogs so I won’t be able to have your dog in my home. I am great with puppy training as well. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently working full time but am available to walk dogs after 5pm during the week and anytime on the weekends. If I am dog sitting I am able to let your puppy out out during lunch u less I am working from Home! I am available for your pup throughout the weekends. Whether it’s just for a walk or company. Unfortunately, due to my own dogs reactivity I am not able to care for other dogs in my Home. N/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n

“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”
“Monica was so great! She was super attentive to Auggi, reached out if she noticed anything out of the norm, and did a great job at sending me photos and updates. I don't think my dog wanted to come home with me haha! Will definitely be using Monica again.”
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”

“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”

“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”

“Laura was fantastic with our two boys! We were impressed from the very start. She did a great job handling the meet and greet, making sure the boys were comfortable in her home and around her family. While we were on vacation, she regularly checked in, sending us pictures and videos each day. I would highly recommend Laura. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
