“Words can’t express my appreciation and pleasure with the care provided by Lesley. She accommodated our last minute request and before the day was over Bella was smiling and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
“Jenn and her family were exceptional hosts for my Harlow's stay. Harlow was loved on and cared for as much as she is in her own home here with us. We don't often board Harlow, but will not hesitate to rebook with this lovely family.”
“What a great experience! First time using Rover and Rochelle was wonderful with our dogs, she kept us updated with pictures that let us enjoy the family service we had to attend. Will definitely use her services again as we like to visit the Rochester area. Thanks, Rochelle and Rover!”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“Anthony and Jayson were great watching over my super-hyper, slightly anxious Enzo! They provided me with amazing communication including pictures, and text messages letting me how well Enzo was settling in. They were also sitting for other furry friends and was very communicative in letting me know how Enzo was interacting with the other dogs and the adjustments made if necessary. Will absolutely be back whenever the next trip arises.”
“Ada and Micheli took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. Our dog, who has seizures every few months, is on a bunch of oral medications that she takes at specific times. Though our dog did not have any seizures while we were away, I was nervous finding someone who is attentive to those specific needs. Ada and Micheli provided daily pictures and updates during her stay, including an occasional photo of giving our dog her medications. It provided a peace of mind. Our dog looked to be very satisfied to stay with them. Thank you again, Ada, and Micheli!”
“I had an amazing experience with Rick! He took exceptional care of my dog and treated him like his own. He was reliable, communicated regularly with updates and photos, and made sure all his needs were met.”
“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”
“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog - look no further! Jose is an amazing dog whisperer who took the best care of our 11 year old Aussie while we were away for a few weeks. Communication was quick and easy, our pup came home happy and tired - highly recommend!”
“Fabiola was fantastic. She sent consistent updates to let me know how my dog was doing and did a great job watching her. Would highly recommend!”
“Elliot and Dominque were absolutely wonderful. I was nervous to leave my dog for 2 weeks- the longest I’ve ever been away from him!, but they eased my worries with frequent updates and pictures. I felt confident that he was in good hands, which helped me enjoy my trip that much more. Thank you!!”
“Megan absolutely exceeded expectation in taking care of my Shih Tzu, Barrington. Her love for animals as not only pets but as our loving companions and babies is so evident. She sent me so many wonderful pictures and videos and daily updates that made me have peace-of-mind being away from my bear. If you are looking for a reliable, loving, caring, attentive sitter for your pup, look no further. She accommodated to brushing Barrington's fur and taking care of him when he had a stomach ache and got sick. Megan also has the most fun toys and gadgets for the pups. I think he loved it so much that he didn't want to leave. Barrington even made BFFs with her pup Murph and they played so nicely together. Megan will treat your dog like her own and make being away from them feel better.”
“Debra did an amazing job watching Wyatt. She effectively communicated everyday how he was behaving and sent photos. Her fenced in back yard and home made him feel comfortable and safe. I will be sure to book again with her in the future!”
“Hannah was amazing.! I could tell that Ben was cared for properly and treated like apart of her family. Great environment for my dog and I will definitely be using her services more often.”
“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”
“Elizabeth and her family were the perfect sitters for our little Maisie. I was constantly updated with pictures of the family taking her for walks and giving her lots of attention. Will definitely try to use them again.”
“Kimberley was incredible. As it was our first time using Rover, we were nervous dog parents but she quickly assuaged our fears and Margie did amazing! She offers training and even clipped Margie’s nails. We got daily photos and videos, which helped us feel close to Margie. Looking forward to working with her again soon!”

“Alexandra was very responsive, easy to work with, clearly experienced and went above and beyond in making my cat comfortable and feel safe while I was away! She even neatened the place up a bit.”
“Kayla is wonderful! My cats loved her immediately, she followed the care instructions to a T, and she was very accommodating when my plans changed. She went above and beyond, and I would 110% recommend her to anyone!”
“Caroline did an absolutely amazing job with our two cats. She was punctual and thorough. Caroline even stopped by before we left to meet the cats and learn their routine. She provided great notes and pictures at every visit, we really looked forward to reading them while we were away.”
“Lavinia is an amazing pet sitter who has wonderful communication, really pays attention to details and really cares about pets! I felt so comfortable leaving my cat with Lavinia knowing he was getting lots of love and being cared for just like I would take care of him. I would absolutely recommend Lavinia to anyone :)”
“Our cat, Blanche, was comfortable with Paige almost instantly, so we knew she would be a great fit for us! Paige was timely, a great communicator, and flexible when we asked her if she would mind coming a bit early to grab a package delivered to our front porch. We would absolutely hire her again! Thank you so much, Paige!”
“My cats love to see Isabella, especially Squeaker. He especially enjoys the treats, pets, playtime, and brushing. He would probably let Isabella take him home with her if she wanted, (he's such a Romeo!). Ariel enjoys maintaining her Princess status with Arabella, who brings her meals to her on a tray! I enjoy the fantastic photos Isabella takes every day even the funny ones of Ariel being grumpy!”
“My cat loves Steffen, and he brought over toys for him to try and keep which was very thoughtful. The apartment was very clean when I got back. He also went above and beyond with helping me with a perishable package that came while I was gone.”
“Rico was a great communicator and made a point to visit the house to meet our two cats before we left for our trip. This was especially impressive because we booked him the day before leaving town after another booking fell through last minute. Our kitties were happy and healthy when we returned, and we really enjoyed getting photographs of them during our time away.”
“We had a last minute need for care over February break, so not an easy time to find someone. In came Baela to the rescue! Her schedule lined up with our kitten’s normal feeding times, too, so that was a bonus! She spent time playing with our little high energy guy each visit, and followed our directions perfectly. Thank you, Baela!”
“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”
“Daniel is really helpful and accommodating for my cat who generally dislikes most people. I’m grateful to know he’s checking in our her and making sure she gets her daily medication. Thanks, Daniel!!”
“I instantly felt comfortable about having Rachel take care of my cat Abi. She asked questions to make sure she understood how to care for him. She left me thoughtful notes about her visits and wonderful photos of my fur baby. I will definitely have her take care of Abi again. 😻”
“Anna has taken wonderf care of our cats before, and this time was no exception. We always come home to well loved babies, and I appreciate her detailed updates. Thanks so much!!!”
“I have lived long enough to be able to perceive when I am in front of a good soul. That's what Eric is. And that is all I require of someone I can trust with my dog. Everything else is workable. Life is good!”
“Gabby was wonderful with my kitties. I was sure my antisocial cat would be rarely seen but she was happy to see Gabby everyday! She even figured out an issue with their automatic feeders when I wasn't able to respond right away. Will definitely be having her watch my cats again!”

“Omgosh what a great experience! Short notice meet and greet and then next day stay. Such obvious dog lovers and a welcoming home. Jackson’s big big and fills up a room and they let him. This was a situation where we needed help in a pinch but we will definitely be booking again. This was such a great first time Rover experience - thank you!!”
“I really am so happy with the care my dog received here. She was happy and would have probably been happy to stay and play with these wonderful humans! It feels great to know that she is being loved a LOT! Highly recommend.”
“I have two reviews to write here. Mine first. That Mark cared for Gus during my first week at a new job brought so much peace of mind. Mark was accommodating with pickup and drop off times and communicated during the day with pictures and notes. I had no stress about Gus being in good hands. Now from Gus. I am a pandemic pup—totally attached to my empty nester parents (though I really do love everyone.) I loved going to Mark’s house—hopped right out of my mom’s car and ran up to his gate. We went on walks and I got to be pals with his dogs. We played and played and I was so tired when my mom picked me up. I think she was too so she was really happy that I just wanted to lay on the clinch when we got home. Mark took really good care of me and I hope I get to go back. ??”
“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
“We are new to the area and didn't know anyone who could watch our dogs for the day while we moved from our rental into our new house, so using Rover was an obvious choice. We needed someone to pick up our two dogs early at the rental and drop them off late at the new house and Adriana agreed to both. Even when I contacted her to ask if she could keep them a little longer since the move wasn't complete, she agreed to do so without any additional fees. She didn't even complain when one of the dogs threw up in her car and defecated in her home. (Sorry about that!) I would definitely call on Adriana again if the need arises.”
About: I’ve always been the girl who is obsessed with dogs. I grew up with dogs and I was the one who took care of them, and that love for caring and training has only grown. I’m the type of person who needs a lot of “outside time” so my soul dog Murphy and I spend a good amount of time playing in the courtyard and going on multiple walks a day; I truly don’t know who’s happier. Currently, I have a very open schedule and it’s just Murphy and I at home all day. Some evenings I babysit for my family out in Spencerport, but kid friendly dogs are welcome to come with me and there is also a large yard (not fenced in, but there is a 30 ft leash set up). I have a fenced in grass courtyard where the dogs can play, and my apartment is very open and there’s lots of room for dogs to play inside. My dog Murphy does not need to be crated when left alone, but I have a small cage in case anyone who visits needs it. Murphy has more toys than I care to admit, so your pups will have lots to play with.
“Ivanna took good care of our pet. She asked ahead of time how the pet should be handles in terms of food, walks etc. She sent pictures of our pet during the sitting. The pet lookedhapoy at pickup. Overall it was a paw-sitive experience for our buddy.”
“Levi is awesome to work with! My dog Alfie absolutely loves going to daycare everyday and comes home so tired and happy, which makes me very happy too. I love the pictures and updates I receive throughout the day and Levi has been so accommodating with schedule changes. Would recommend without a doubt!”
About: I've raised two energetic puppies through adolescence and frequently provide dog-sitting services for friends in the area. I also have experience working as an enrichment specialist at a well-known doggy daycare in Rochester and volunteering as a foster for local rescues. I am experienced with anxious dogs and can adapt to your fur-baby's specific needs. I'm trained in basic human and canine CPR, and I'm skilled at recognizing early signs of reactive behavior in animals. While I'm not perfect, I'm highly attentive. Since I’m home most of the time, I’ll ensure your pet stays healthy, happy, and safe! We are an adventure duo -- you can catch us at the beach playing fetch in the water, hiking, or just taking long strolls along the canal! On days where the weather is rainy, we still get 3 walks a day (morning, noon, evening) with thorough wipe downs after! Meal times are interwoven with short training sessions. I have dedicated several rooms in my house to doggy activity areas -- agility equipment, floor mats, etc (see photos). Grooming is done very regularly. My pup has environmental allergies so we also do a water rinse daily when we return from our adventures. When your baby stays with me, they will receive the same treatment (if they are comfortable getting brushed). He is my entire life and I couldn’t be happier! I have included photos of my home (and the excessive amount of dog toys we own) in my profile. Several of the rooms in my house are dedicated to doggy activities/enrichment and I also have a fenced in yard. I have also made sure that my set up allows me to separate dogs from each other if they ever get over stimulated -- I have enough rooms where each dog can be in their own room. I also have a doggy door so most days when the weather is not atrocious the dogs can relieve themselves/play as they please. Also my sun room is dedicated to dog care so if need be I can gate off/separate pooches that get too worked up (or just need privacy eating). I do have two crates — one for super small dogs and the other for dogs up to 35 lbs. My dog is crate trained but prefers free range so I have dog beds in every single room. Dogs are welcome on furniture but please make sure they have been recently bathed (within a few days before) if you are boarding as we keep our home extremely clean (the carpets get washed every month and vacuum and swiffering are done daily). We are probably not a good fit if your dog does not get along with other dogs, because my dog is still young and very energetic. If your dog does not like to play but does not react aggressively to other dogs attempting to initiate play, Momo would be fine as he does eventually give up if the other dog does not engage him at all. When we schedule a meet and greet, you can expect to meet us outside the front yard for a couple block long walk together before going to the backyard to let the pooches sniff each other out. Since Momo is a chow-mix, he is protective by nature and does not like it if other fur-babies he does not know well try to jump on his mom so I will likely only greet your baby after I put him back in the house.
“Another awesome stay with Susan and Ella! This is the perfect, safe, playful, loving environment for our one and a half year old lab mix. The backyard is basically dog heaven, and Susan makes sure to keep all dogs safe and happy. All of the dogs that Susan hosts are awesome, and our girl always has a great time. Susan always checks in with videos and pictures, and her care for and knowledge of dogs shows every time. Having our pup stay with such a trustworthy, caring family is a huge relief to us while we are at work or out of town. Thank you Susan! :) ”
About: Hello! Thank you for trusting me with your pet’s care and comfort. 🐾😊 I’m a licensed veterinary technician and professional dog trainer with a lifelong passion for animal care. With both medical and behavioral experience, I’m comfortable handling everything from shy or anxious pups to seniors and those with special needs. Your dog isn’t just being watched, they’re being truly understood and cared for. I conduct meet-and-greets in your home so your pup can feel comfortable in their own environment while we get to know each other. I’ve found this sets everyone up for success because, just like kids, dogs often behave better when their parents are away. Instead of overwhelming them with a new space and new dogs all at once, I take the first few days to carefully introduce them to my home and pack. This thoughtful approach creates a calmer, safer transition and helps prevent stress or conflict. Safety is always my top priority. I take pride in creating a structured, low-stress environment where every dog feels secure and respected. At this time, I primarily accept dogs 40 lbs and under. Larger dogs are welcome to inquire and may be accepted depending on temperament, ease of care, and compatibility with my household. I share my home with well-balanced dogs, one younger Border Collie, Hopper, a rescue chihuahua Skipper, a rescue Collie mix, Jake and my rescue Shiba Inu, Renji. 🐕 I also have some dog-savvy cats who are very accustomed to canine guests. 🐱 My home is designed with comfort in mind, whether your pup loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, cozy lounging areas, and easy access for senior dogs who may need to avoid stairs. To ensure the highest level of care and attention, I typically host one guest dog at a time. I’m happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same family. As an added bonus, I can provide basic grooming services during your dog’s stay, including nail trims, ear cleaning, bathing, and anal gland expression if needed for an additional fee. Feel free to inquire. I look forward to your fur baby’s stay! Thank you and have a ✨ Pawsitive ✨ day! Kimberley G, LVT, CDT I work from home so daily pet care is easy and your pets are never left alone for more than a couple hours. When I do have to leave, I have cameras to help keep an eye on them and make sure they are safe as well. 👀 I care for guests the same way I care for my own pets. I appreciate how scary it can be leaving your fur baby in someone else’s hands, so I send pictures and updates as frequently as you’d like. Safety is my number one priority. I will always do my best to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay for your pup. My motto? “They’ll be relaxed, so you can relax.” 🐾☺️
About: Happy to care for your dog or cat! I have prior experience as an assistant in vet clinics where I provided general care for dogs and cats, including administering medications and overnight monitoring. I’m very responsible, and I adore animals! My usual is I walk my dog early in the morning before work and then come home at 4:30pm. However, can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pets. Let me know what is best for you and your pet! My schedule is pretty flexible. I can spend time with your pet hanging out, take dogs for walks, or play games with them in addition to feeding.
“Portia was amazing and I could tell through pictures and videos that he was having a blast. You know he has so much fun when I had to carry my 90lbs dog to the car because he didn’t want to leave?!! Thank you Portia!”

“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”
“Ricky helped me out last minute when I threw out my back by walking my energetic goldendoodle multiple mornings in a row. He was timely, easygoing, and flexible and pup was excited every time he came to the door!”
About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.
“Rico is amazing with our two Irish Red & White Setters. As he learned today, Truvy is very adept at scaling fences. Rico was on top of the situation and thwarted her planned escape.”
About: I love dogs! I've had dogs since I was a kid, so basically have been around them and taking care of them for my whole life. I am good with nail trims and baths as well! My schedule is pretty open. I have a car as well, so getting there wont be an issue. I work at wegmans part time, so i have plenty of free time! I have a little dog and a bearded dragon. Both house trained (yes the dragon poops in the yard lol) i usually walk dogs 3-5 times a day depending on how often they wanna go. I keep nails trimmed and stuff myself as well.
“Mo loves Rebecca! She gets so excited when it's time for her walk and comes back so happy (and tired!). Rebecca is dependable, punctual, and friendly. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for my own small dog and regularly pet sit my sister-in-law’s dog, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with small dogs and calm routines. I aim to keep every visit positive and stress-free. I’m also responsible and communicative, and I treat every pet with the same care I give my own 🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule during the day, which allows me to be consistent and attentive with each visit or walk. I’m currently available in the mornings and afternoons, as well as early evenings on some days. On the days I have classes, I’m available until the afternoon, so I always make sure to plan visits responsibly and on time. I enjoy creating a calm and reliable routine for the pets I care for, and I like to take my time with each visit to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for 🤍 I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. While I’m newer to client homes, I have experience with my own dog and regularly pet sitting my sister-in-law’s dog, making me attentive and responsible. I follow each dog’s routine closely and respect all home instructions. During walks, I stay alert and focused on your dog’s safety and comfort, and I communicate clearly so you feel reassured 🤍
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for over four years and have hands-on experience volunteering at a farm animal shelter, where I cleaned habitats, prepared food, and provided enrichment. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for all animals. I'm home for the summer from Rochester, NY, and have open availability on both weekdays and weekends. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate your schedule. In my home, your pet will enjoy playtime with my friendly large dog, a spacious environment, and safe outdoor time on a secure lead. I can crate your dog if needed and follow their routine closely. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs.
About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
“Hannah showed up when she said she would. She also communicates with me in a timely fashion. Her rates are reasonable and my dogs looked happy to walk with her in their pictures. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.
“Excellent rapport with my nervous doggie, Jenine was able to get her to go the entire half hour (the dog keeps wanting to return) and go potty before returning. Definitely recommend and my dog loves her!”
About: Dog sitting was my first job as a teenager. My mom actually gave me the idea to start because she never wanted to have a pet, so this was such a fun compromise! Since then I’ve dog sat for small, medium and large dogs! I myself am an active person and love to be active with a furry friend! It’s nice to have company on a walk run or even someone to explore new parks with! I work full time but my schedule is fairly flexible! I am a therapist and have ability to work from home at times as long as I am not in a session or scheduled to run group therapy! I am happy to stay at your home and care for your pet with the instructions you give! I am happy to walk, play, pet, feed and clean up after your dog.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover living in the Park Ave area. I have years of professional experience working with dogs, including dog walking, running, and in-home sitting. Before moving to Rochester, I worked with Rover in Washington DC, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a dog owner myself — so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I have a calm, friendly, and outgoing personality that helps dogs feel comfortable quickly, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to learn more about me. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊🐶 I work remotely Monday through Friday and am off on weekends. I can of course make time if a dog needs a quick walk or check-in during my day job, but also my job is very flexible with my dog gigs. If I’m staying at a client’s home, then I would keep them company at all times, play with their toys, make sure they plenty of food/water, and taking them out for plenty of walks! :)
About: If you’re looking for someone that can not only simply pet sit but create a healthy relationships with your pets im your guy! Im very enthusiastic and friendly so animals feel safe with me.

“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“Anthony and Jayson were great watching over my super-hyper, slightly anxious Enzo! They provided me with amazing communication including pictures, and text messages letting me how well Enzo was settling in. They were also sitting for other furry friends and was very communicative in letting me know how Enzo was interacting with the other dogs and the adjustments made if necessary. Will absolutely be back whenever the next trip arises.”
“I had an amazing experience with Rick! He took exceptional care of my dog and treated him like his own. He was reliable, communicated regularly with updates and photos, and made sure all his needs were met.”
“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”
“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog - look no further! Jose is an amazing dog whisperer who took the best care of our 11 year old Aussie while we were away for a few weeks. Communication was quick and easy, our pup came home happy and tired - highly recommend!”
“Fabiola was fantastic. She sent consistent updates to let me know how my dog was doing and did a great job watching her. Would highly recommend!”
“Elliot and Dominque were absolutely wonderful. I was nervous to leave my dog for 2 weeks- the longest I’ve ever been away from him!, but they eased my worries with frequent updates and pictures. I felt confident that he was in good hands, which helped me enjoy my trip that much more. Thank you!!”
“Debra did an amazing job watching Wyatt. She effectively communicated everyday how he was behaving and sent photos. Her fenced in back yard and home made him feel comfortable and safe. I will be sure to book again with her in the future!”
“Hannah was amazing.! I could tell that Ben was cared for properly and treated like apart of her family. Great environment for my dog and I will definitely be using her services more often.”
“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”
“Our Puppy seemed to do well , first time he was in the company of large dogs and when we picked him up he seemed just fine with us being gone for a day/.night. communication was good with Tyler and Melissa.”
“Danielle was the best dog sitter we could have asked for. She took our dog while we were away for the holidays, even got her a special treat on a Christmas. She sent pictures and kept us updated and was very flexible and took great care of our dog! I highly recommend her to anyone looking.”
About: I have been breeding dogs since 2019 and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through breeding, grooming, and working closely with professional trainers and groomers in my network, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, coat care, and handling techniques. I have groomed dogs through referrals and word of mouth and am very familiar with proper care, structure, and maintaining a calm environment. My background in the fire service has strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to community trust. I take dog welfare seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are always monitored, never left unattended outside, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I’m experienced with crate training and can crate dogs if needed or requested. Cleanliness, routine, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
“Thank you so much Nicole for accommodating my almost 13 year old dog who is set in his ways. I am glad that he got along well and learned to socialize with the resident pets in your house.”
“I’m above and beyond satisfied with Kaitlyn, She showed my little guy much love during his stay. Kaitlyn was consistent with providing text and video, I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my little guy was in safe hands and environment. Thanks Kaitlyn !!! You’re the best!!!!!”
