Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rapids
“I wasn’t able to make my booking with Ashley due to some unforeseen family circumstances, but I did make sure she was paid for her inconvenience regardless. Lovely person & and I’m sure a great sitter! Hopefully, I will be able to use her services in the future!!”
“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“What a great experience. We have never used the over night service before but will definitely be doing it again. Jordan and Nathan were wonderful and were so great to our Winnie. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to come home bc she had doggie friends at there house. They will be our only family we use for as long as they let us. Highly recommend. Thanks again.”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Milo had a great time with Charlette and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures each day. We felt relaxed and comfortable that Milo was in good hands! We highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Courtney provided wonderful care for our dog during a lengthy two week stay. She was constantly in communication with us, sent an abundant amount of photos, and made sure our pup felt right at home. We will definitely using her again for future needs and I highly recommend her to others!”
“We rebooked with Mindy for a recent trip after our experience with her last time. Our dog is a little bit neurotic & high maintenance and doesn’t like to be left alone in new places. It is so so so nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about her because Mindy takes such good care of her. My dog randomly stopped eating and Mindy figured out that if she changed her bowl she would eat. She took her for plenty of walks and gave her plenty of snuggles - our dog even gets to sleep in Mindy’s bed at night! We are so relieved to have found Mindy and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Julie is the best ,she took care of our dogs so well.. it was our first time leaving our pet babies alone and we couldn’t thank her enough for always keep us giving updates about them and for everything thing..Julie , her baby girl and her husband all are extremely sweet people.. i will definitely always send my pet babies to her only. Thankyou so much”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
“Erica is sweet ! wonderful ! She watched my 13 year old Maltese for 4 days and treated him like he was her own. He never goes away from family but I was in a pinch so I tried this site. So happy I did ! She gave him love and attention and he was content and well cared for. She kept in touch with photos and comments on how he was doing. Erica is awesome !!!! I hope she will be able to watch Bear again.”
“Carol has had our dog three times in the last 2 mos and has done a wonderful job caring for our human touch addicted pet! Carol made her special food and was constantly with the dog ; literally side by side . Thanks Carol!”
“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”
“Zaira communicates quickly and thoroughly. Machete didn't want to eat his kibble so Zaira provided him her wet food after asking me, which he happily ate. Machete had a great time meeting new friends, and we really appreciate Zaira's flexibility with drop off / pick up time for boarding. She had only a few dogs (her own and possibly 1 other with machete) so he was able to acclimate more quickly. We will definitely use Zaira again when we're in the niagara area.”
“My dog Jordan was well taken care of. I highly recommend Raisa for dog boarding. She let me know how my pup was doing and sent pictures. She was very kind and I am grateful to have found her. Would definitely go through her again. 10/5 stars!”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”

“Sierra was phenomenal with our two cats even going above and beyond when one of them had some digestive issues while we were gone. 100% would trust again with our pets.”
About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!
About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.
“Rachel took such great care of my Loki and my apartment while I was gone. She was so wonderful with him and being able to inject him with the insulin daily. So thankful for her help!”
“Kylee did a wonderful job once again caring for our 19 y/o Ben. She has cared for him twice before. It is so important to have competent, consistent care especially for an older pet. She gives us peace of mind so that we can enjoy our little get-aways. Love the photos and updates she sends!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 17 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to routines, leash safety, and each dog’s individual needs — whether that means a long, energetic walk or a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m especially patient with dogs who are nervous, shy, or need a calm presence, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and positive experiences. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’ve set aside dedicated time for dog walks! I’m flexible with weekday walks and happy to accommodate regular weekly schedules as well as occasional walks when needed. I focus on being punctual, reliable, and consistent so your dog can count on a familiar routine🐾 Your dog’s safety is always my top priority! I follow leash safety at all times, pay close attention to body language, and tailor each walk to your dog’s comfort and energy level. I’m careful with weather conditions, traffic, and surroundings, and I treat every dog and home with respect. I’ll always follow your instructions and provide thoughtful updates after each walk!
About: I have my own personal cat who is a rescue and I am her whole world. I have baseline skills in reading cat behavior and help nervous cats feel less uneasy in my mannerisms. I can play, feed, interact, change litter, groom, whatever you need and your cat will accept. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care.
“Kelsey took great care of our kitty boys (and was very kind to agree to care for them at the last minute!). She was great at providing us updates and sending pics while we were away, and I know my 2 cats liked her because we came home to happy kitties :) Would highly recommend Kelsey!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and sometimes cats for 3 years at a few daycares and boarding facilities. I love animals and would love to provide care for them! I’m currently recovering from a leg injury, so for now I’m focusing on caring for small dogs and cats! I love giving them attention, walks, and cuddles. I’ll be ready to work with bigger dogs again very soon once my leg fully heals! I will provide care for pets at clients home by making sure they are fed, medicated if needed and safely crated after I leave. Also, keep the pets safe from anything dangerous.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was born! Fun fact, I don’t think I’ve ever lived without a cat. I love all cats and I don’t discriminate!! Small, big, orange, black, calico, etc. Your cat isn’t very social ? I’ll still like to think I can become a cat whisperer and they’ll magically love me. Does that actually happen? Nope lol! I’ve taken care of all sorts of cats from birth to death. My mom is a foster so she always has pregnant cats, baby kitties, special needs cats, or sadly end of life cats. I can’t wait to meet your cat(s)!!
About: I am currently looking to utilize my spare time and what best way to do that than to care for what I adore most... fur babies. I have 15+ personal years of caring for my own and would love to be there for yours in time of need ❤️ I’m comfortable with any type of breed as well as any size. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own.

Thank you for taking time to read my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies 🐾 I work at a surgery center full time, but work 4 days a week, on my off days or short days when I get out early, I am willing to care for any needs that arise. I am a surgical tech, so patient safety is my number one priority… That priority extends to my furry clients. I am always keeping a watchful eye and making sure all is well.
About: Animal experience includes working at a grooming shop and walking and babysitting a handful of dogs for several years, as well as always having dogs of my own. I have experience and am comfortable with big, small, shy, nervous, aggressive, sick, traumatized and old animals, so I can handle whatever your pet might throw my way. And I love to run; I'm happy to run with your dog if they want. I'm also comfortable administering medications, transporting animals, bathing, and following training instructions. Most importantly, my clients have always trusted me to be an honest and dependable person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work short shifts and am pretty flexible at the moment. Available for drop in visits and walks. Message me and we will make it work. I follow instructions left by you, to keep your pet and home safe and your pet comfortable. Happy to take outside, feed, walk, and administer meds.
“My babies are typically not too comfortable with people they do not know. Tatyjana Communicated with me that the dogs went under the bed but did not give up. She said she was trying to get them to warm up to her and they did. We will definitely have her back again.”
About: Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to view my profile! Some of my experience includes in-home sitting for various dogs for multiple years, fostering with Boot n' Kit Canine Rescue with over 16 8-week-old puppies, fostering with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue for dogs newborn-senior, and volunteering in general with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue. I also come from a long line of vets and vet techs, which makes me confident. I adopted my own dog in May of 2022 (whom is a great foster sibling!) so all inquiries must be comfortable with a well trained 30lb resident dog. Please message me with any questions, I am super flexible and willing to accommodate! I currently work a hybrid position, allowing me to take Rover Requests on most Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays! I am hopeful my availability will increase in the future! Dogs ARE allowed in my apartment, and I have paid all fees incase of any damage. Your pup will stay leashed outside of unit. Depending on the dogs size, age, temperament, etc., we have various equipment of our own including a crate (s), play pen, toys, dishes, blankets, beds, etc. My commitment to your dog includes care, but additional love and affection as well. I do photography on the side, and your dog is guaranteed to be a model!
“I highly recommend Vidya to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you Vidya for taking such wonderful care of Simba”
“Karen was amazing with my 2 furry guys! She was calm, caring and took great attention to them. Jack needed daily pills and she was able to do that effortlessly. Karen shared multiple daily texts and pictures too! She was so gracious and left my house very clean upon returning from a week long family vacation. Very kind, respectable and caring-top notch and I highly recommend. Thank you Karen!!”

“Carol is truly a dog lover! It is great that she took our last minute booking as we came in to town to sightsee. Our girl was very well taken care of giving us some free time!”
About: Looking for a loving & fun home away from home for your pet? Look no further! With a golden retriever of my own, for the past 7 years I've taken care of my dog along with 10 other dogs from time to time for periods as short as a couple of days to a couple of months. As a college student in DC, my weekends are wide open to take care of your pet! I also provide services in between my classes. Having a large dog for the past 7 years, our house is "dog proof" while also containing all the amenities (big fenced in yard, toys galore, & a furry companion) any pet needs, your pet will also be on vacation! I can also quickly get acquainted with the safety features & layout of your house! I will make sure to ask any questions that are relevant to dogsitting at your house to make sure your dog's daily routine isn't disrupted
“Danielle was awesome! We left our 4 month old GSD with her for the better part of a day. Our pup seemed to be sad to leave her new friends behind when we picked her up. Danielle’s communication and scheduling flexibility is appreciated. We would definitely use her again if in the Buffalo area.”
“Jenn & Brian are really warm, friendly and welcoming. They’re really nice and we felt very comfortable while leaving milo at their place. I informed her about Milo’s neuter and she was really caring and kept sending updates about the stitches as well. I am from Chicago and sad that they’re in NY. If we are in same place I would send milo again and again to them whenever we go on a vacation. Best people ever! Highly Recommended.”
“Anne was wonderful with our Ivy! She was very accommodating with us as well, we were very last minute and she was great! Thanks so much! We will for sure use Anne again in the near future!”

“David and Cathy were brilliant when it came to watching Ruby for two days. They really helped in putting my mind at ease and seeing they had a loving home and a companion for my pup to play with only furthered this notion. They were flexible and worked around my schedule allowing me to make last minute changes and I certainly intend to utilize their services again in the future.”
“This is my second time writing a review. Sarah is THAT astounding 🤩 I’m so grateful to have found her on this app. My fur baby always leaves so content and falls asleep right away because of how much Sarah plays with her and keeps her active during her stay. 10/10 would recommend Sarah to EVERYONE! ❤️🐕🦺”
“Rosalyn was exactly what you want in a doggy sitter and went above and beyond to make Marli’s very few experiences away from home exceptional! Marli and their doggy Lilly had a great day together. I would highly recommend Rosalyn to anyone who wants a sitter that makes your doggy feel special and loved. 🐾💚💜”
“Natalie is an excellent Dog Mom. I can’t say enough good things about her. My wife was hesitant to leave our dog with someone overnight, but Natalie assured her that everything would be fine and it was. Rossi got fresh water multiple times a day, played in her spacious backyard with other dogs, and she took our dog for walks several times a day. She sent multiple updates with pictures and videos, which we really appreciate it. I absolutely would not hesitate to use Natalie again.”
“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”

“Erica and her pack are amazing! Nitro had so much fun with her and the dogs. Erica was so thoughtful to send videos and photos of some of the antics that Nitro was up to with the other pups. Definitely a wonderful experience and we can’t wait for the next visit. Erica is such a kind, cool, and impressive person, and she understands dogs so well. Nitro was immediately at ease with her and had a fantastic stay! We are very grateful for all the care and kindness! Thank you Erica!”
“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: Raised with the help of two Doberman “nannies,” in the home of a veterinarian. I was brought up in a home from tigers to monkeys and have a natural pull towards caring for all animals. Hi, I’m Raisa. I’ve lived with and cared for Dobermans, Dachshunds, Labradors, Australian Shepherds, Mixed Breeds, and now a senior Siberian Husky who adores other animals. I’ve raised puppies, supported seniors, and learned how to read a dog’s communication style quickly and intuitively. What sets me apart is the combination of: 🐾 A lifetime of hands‑on experience, including a course in Canine Science 🌿 A calm, confident presence 🎯 An ability to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs 🏡 A home environment that’s warm, structured, animal‑savvy and has a LARGE FENCED YARD Your pup will feel so understood and cared for, they’ll think of my home as their second home. I work from home full time so I will always be around hanging out with your pups from 8am-5pm and the evenings. Scroll down to "A Typical Day" to view their daily routine. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly female Siberian Husky who respects and loves fur babies of all sizes. Since our yard is large, we can accommodate multiple dogs at once if you have a large family. My pup is vaccinated and up-to date with flea, tick and heart worm meds. ATTENTION: No Indoor Marking Policy I cannot host dogs who mark indoors. Even small amounts of marking can damage flooring and trigger other dogs to do the same. If marking or repeated accidents occur, I will contact you for early pickup. Thank you for understanding and helping me maintain a safe, happy space for your pups.

About: Hi! Working with animals is a passion of mine. I am a former dog trainer, I foster dogs in my free time. I recently received my Professional Animal Care Provider Certification so you can be sure you're leaving your pal with someone qualified! I have plenty of experience with dogs of all types from all kinds of backgrounds. I also have watched many critters throughout my life and can offer care to just about any animal you have in your home! I want to make sure your animals have the best time while you're away so keeping them active and entertained is important to me! I currently work 1 day a week so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a house with my husband and sister so someone is always around to give your pals love and attention. They will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. My goal is to keep your pet's regular routine as best as possible. I have several crates to crate your dog if that is what you prefer. But I also am happy to keep them out in our gated off kitchen living room area. We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play most of the day.

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 4 years as a vet technician and now embarking on a new career within the pet field. I have fostered over 100 dogs in the last 8 years, young and old, healthy and some with medical needs. I love all fur babies big and small and look forward to this new chapter. I run a small hobby farm and am home 24/7 so available all day to relieve animals for potty breaks or playtime. With animals of my own we are sure to get them the exercise or needs met. I have a large fenced in backyard or a long tie out for those that can jump or climb fencing. I have some playful fur pets that can keep them company or a separate living room if your animal needs his or her own space.
“Melissa is awesome! I needed a dogwalker last minute and she totally came to my rescue. She was beyond personable and professional, and I know my puppy enjoyed having Melissa come take him out for a midday stroll. She even practiced manners with him!! ?”
About: I care for my blind shih tzu at home, so I know to keep my eyes and ears out to ensure safety for any animal! I am a student athlete at the University of Pittsburgh, so I know how to balance and diligently prioritize things! I currently only am busy for about an hour and a half every morning, to get a run in. Besides that I am free the whole day to take care of and watch your pet! :) I make sure your pet is safe, and feels comfortable in my care. I know when to go slow if a pet is more shy, but also I love to take pets to parks, go on walks, and cuddle!
About: I have experience as an overnight pet sitter, drop-in visitor, and dog walker, providing dependable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I truly love dogs and all animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about! One of my greatest strengths is communication. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel informed and at ease, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I treat every pet like they are my own and work hard to ensure both pets and owners feel happy, comfortable, and confident in my care. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the day for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Along with my nannying experience and active lifestyle, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, organized, and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, providing overnight care, or stopping in for visits and playtime. I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine when I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests to make sure each pet feels as stress free as possible. I love spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention based on their personality and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.
About: Here for all the walks, attention and care you need! Hi I am Celina W. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and been a hands-on, reliable pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a dog mom to a German shepherd (Loki) and Malinois mix (Meelo), my experience with working breeds makes me a perfect fit to handle even the most energetic of dogs. If there are any behaviors or manners you are working on with your pet, please let me know and I will work with your pet on skills! My shitzu-yorkie Stella had puppies in my closet when I was a teenager, so I have hands-on experience handling dogs from birth- golden years. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care. If your pets love affection, silliness, structure, or all of the above, they’re in good hands with me. If you have other critters or small pets in your home, I am sure I can assist you. Let's start a great long-term relationship! I am recently resigned teacher who is looking for fulfillment in life and currently in-between jobs. I am trying to build up my pet base so I can pursue this full time. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and/or cats/ small animals and will be fully engaged. I have open availability; I am also looking for long-term clients! Pet care will have to occur at the clients home and/or surrounding area. I can provide all necessary care and stimulation at your home. I am here for you and what you need. Preferrably the client would provide the leash and waste products. Depending on your comfortablility I can take your pup on scenic walks / jogs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. My client and aunt has a big dog that is a gentle giant if your dogs ever need some social interaction.
About: At age 10, I started my own dog-sitting service from my backyard. Since then, friends and neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their pets, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I have also worked with animals in a number of other capacities: behavior consultations, training and enrichment, rescue, and as a veterinary assistant—both emergency and general practice. I take a particular interest in reactive and fearful dogs. My own dogs were very high maintenance with epilepsy and severe anxiety, and my cat had diabetes, so I took their care very seriously. I treat other people’s pets how I would want mine treated, and that is with the utmost care and respect for the pet's and the owner’s expectations and boundaries. I am committed to providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment for each pet in my care. I work overnights, so I have time during the day to care for clients’ animals. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet and will spend as much time as possible with them. I keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I care for your pet in your own home instead of home instead of mine—it’s what they know and where they’re most comfortable. I’ll update you with pictures and videos often!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s unique personality! I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I also have 2 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care! I work full time as a nighttime server, but I love staying active and spending time with dogs, so I’m always excited to fit walks and pet care into my schedule whenever I can! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and water when needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal environment.

“What a great experience. We have never used the over night service before but will definitely be doing it again. Jordan and Nathan were wonderful and were so great to our Winnie. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to come home bc she had doggie friends at there house. They will be our only family we use for as long as they let us. Highly recommend. Thanks again.”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Milo had a great time with Charlette and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures each day. We felt relaxed and comfortable that Milo was in good hands! We highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”

“We rebooked with Mindy for a recent trip after our experience with her last time. Our dog is a little bit neurotic & high maintenance and doesn’t like to be left alone in new places. It is so so so nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about her because Mindy takes such good care of her. My dog randomly stopped eating and Mindy figured out that if she changed her bowl she would eat. She took her for plenty of walks and gave her plenty of snuggles - our dog even gets to sleep in Mindy’s bed at night! We are so relieved to have found Mindy and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”
“My dog Jordan was well taken care of. I highly recommend Raisa for dog boarding. She let me know how my pup was doing and sent pictures. She was very kind and I am grateful to have found her. Would definitely go through her again. 10/5 stars!”
“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”
“Melissa and Gregory were incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they put us immediately at ease. They welcomed our rambunctious puppy into their home with open arms, making us feel confident that he would be well taken care of. He had some tummy troubles going on when we had to leave and they were so understanding, telling us not to worry. He made a mess in his crate one night because of this and they were so understanding, not bothered at all. They cooked up his brat diet (ground beef and rice) for several days until his stomach was working better. Leo came back to us healthy and happy. I highly recommend Melissa and Greg - they are just super!”
“David and Cathy and were wonderful, they very friendly and appeared to genuinely enjoy caring for our 14h month old border collie. They sent regular photos and provided long walks and plenty of play time with their pet pug Sadie in their large back yard. We will definitely be arranging future visits and highly recommend.”
“Our 12 yr old dog, Otis, just spent 13 days with Jessie and seemed to do fine. The setup (large fenced-in yard and Jessie working from home) gave Otis the blend of care, attention and freedom he needs.”
“We highly recommend Michael, as he was wonderful with our 1.5 year old German boys!! This was their first time being away from home and Michael made us feel at ease with his daily updates and photos. I was afraid the boys wouldn’t want to come back home after being so spoiled for almost a week! 😂 We would definitely book with Michael again!”
“Kash always has a great time staying with Annalisa. Annalisa is understanding, patient and attentive. She accommodates Kash’s food diet and even gave the bowls I used back to me lol That’s a first. Nonetheless, we will continue to use her services for in home boarding whether I’m traveling out of state or the country or just need a few days to myself! 100% recommend her.”
“Naomi and Sam were AMAZING with my dog. Lots of communication and very friendly! They have a huge fenced in backyard, provided daily walks and you can tell they really love animals! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a good home to place your dog when away.”
