“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!”
“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!!”
“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🐶”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Nicole was great when watching my cat for the holidays. Sent detailed updates and let me know if there was anything amiss. I highly recommend for in house pet sitting.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Rebecca was a 5-star cat sitter! We asked her to check-in on our cats a few times while we were out of town for two weeks, and she did a great job! Every visit she refilled their food and water, scooped the litter, and played with them! When she was done, she sent us really detailed and funny updates with some cute pics of the cats. It’s hard to travel as pet parents, but with Rebecca watching the cats, we had peace of mind that they were happy, safe, and healthy! We will definitely book her again!”
“Lauren is a fantastic sitter that was flexible, prompt, and professional. She made sure my cat was checked in on and played with daily - even in a winter storm and on Christmas! I will absolutely be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone needing pet care”
“Brad has made our travels extra fun! Instead of worrying about our kitties, he treats them like royalty and updates us in an entertaining, story like fashion. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca took care of my cat Gracie while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. Rebecca was wonderful, read through my three pages of instructions, lol, and I appreciated the care and attention she gave to Gracie! She definitely put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my time away. I will definitely use her again!”
“John is easygoing and passionate about pet care. Based on our initial meeting I had no reservations about his ability to manage drop-in visits with my cat. While I was away, he provided detailed reports on each visits with photos to document their activities together. John clearly made the effort to bond with my cat and show him the affection he desperately craves while I’m away. I will certainly invite John to return in the future.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Portia was awesome and my cat loved her! She was very attentive and was able to come on the evenings of both Christmas Eve and Christmas! I will definitely re-book her for future trips we take.”
“Hannah it was a great choice to have you sit for my 3 fur babies! They enjoyed your attention and were quite charming/ naughty too. The pictures spoke volumes and were ensuring. They have some more training to do. Thank you 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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have over 4 years of dedicated pet care experience, looking after dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I treat every animal in my care with the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently working part time with flexible hours. Im available during weekdays and most weekends so i’m ready to care for your furry friends when needed! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to minimize any stress. I double-check that all doors and gates are securely locked before letting dogs out, and I always keep them on a secure leash during walks. I am highly respectful of your property, strictly follow all house rules, and make sure hazards like human food or loose items are kept safely out of reach. You can count on receiving regular photo updates so you know everything is running smoothly and safely!
“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: Hi, I'm Jackie! I have had pets for over 20 years and am a huge animal lover. I have three cats and a dog - who are all incredibly spoiled. I also have experience with fish, reptiles, small pets, and birds as well. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds :) I work from home and enjoy talking my dog on walks or out into the backyard during breaks or after work. We spend as much time as we can outside. I care about any animal’s health and safety first. In my own home, I try to let the dog I’m sitting be as comfortable as possible - whether that’s being my shadow, hanging out on the couch, or supervising the neighborhood through the window. My dog, Banner, is 7 years old, 85lbs, and he loves other dogs - he’s very gentle with older or small dogs, too. While he likes to play in little bursts, he does not have puppy energy like he used to and my home wouldn’t be the best for a dog who needs a ton of playtime.
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.
“Quinn took AMAZING care of Jose!! He loved being outside in her yard and playing with the other dogs. I received photos/videos every hour as well as updates on how he was adapting. I will definitely be taking him there again! Thanks Quinn!! 😊”
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.” 🐾☺️
“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.”
“Very satisfied with Barbara’s care of our senior Yorkie. Barbara was quick to respond to messages and she followed some pretty detailed instructions to the letter. And she sent several pictures during the day.”
“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. ??”
“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!”

“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: 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.
“John was excellent with my dog. He was polite and dependable. I knew I could count on him and that my dog was safe in his hands!! I recommend him!!! I'll be using John's services as long as I'm living in Rochester.”
“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!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, and I am hoping I can help with yours. I have a dog who is 11 who needs daily medication, so if that's you, I have you covered. I can help most while my big is at school, but I can flex if you need a specific time. I am happy to offer to walking, checkins, feeding and medication I am a SAHM for a 20 month old, so I can drop by most times, just let me know what you need from me. As I mentioned, I am no steanger to medication, not averse to the yuck stuff, I have my own kids. I have walked all kinds of dogs for years, both as a volunteer and at home.
About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals, and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high-energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While I love the little guys, I am also more than capable of handling "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harnesses, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether it's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park (two of my dog's favorites), I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"—I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. In my personal life, I am also a primary caregiver for my mother, who manages daily medical conditions. Because of this, staying on a strict schedule, managing precise routines, and being deeply observant is second nature to me. I bring that exact same level of patience, compassion, and structure to every animal under my supervision. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...
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.
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: 18 years of dog/cat sitting experience who has a deep love for all animals. We treat every pet like they are our own. Guaranteed they leave happy every time! We take every dog we watch for at least one long walk daily (If they are able), and can adjust as needed based on your preferences. We have a very open and accommodating schedule. Your pet will never be left alone all day! Melissa and I make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. We have fenced in yard with a good amount of space for dogs to run and have a 4 year old yellow lab who loves to play and will help get energy out. She has the awareness to pull back if other dogs don’t want to play with her. We have a 7 year old cat who will typically hide upstairs in her room while new animals are over. Luna is friendly when she comes around. I have a long time girlfriend Melissa, who lives with me and will be helping out.
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.
“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.”
“I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have met Portia. She is SO skilled with challenging dogs, as evidenced by her work with my pup. Winston is known at his vet as “that dog (somewhat affectionately😆). He is a reactive, anxious rescue who takes a very long time to warm up to people; I knew it might be a struggle to find a regular walker for him. Portia has been incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in working with Winston. I’m thrilled that she’s earned his trust, because now I can stay at work all day without having to worry about running back during my lunch break to walk him. I’ve told many of my pet-parent friends about Portia, since she’s so incredible with Winston- I imagine she’s the same with other animals! I give Portia my very highest rating; Winston and I are incredibly lucky to have her in our lives!”
“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!”
“Barbara has been a blessing to me and my golden retriever. My mom passed away about a month ago and she watched over the dog while I was at work so I was in a situation where if I couldn’t create a life for my dog during the hours I’m away from home I would have to think of giving her up and that would have been devastating. Barbara agreed to come out twice a day to take care of Cassidy and she has been the most dependable, caring, and compassionate person to my beloved dog. She was so patient with Cassidy, she was going through a big adjustment with the loss of my mom. Barbara truly spent a lot of time establishing a bond with her and slowly they have developed a nice routine of playing in the backyard. They relax in the sun, play ball and with all her toys. I am very thankful to Barbara for the dependability, her caring nature and the smile on my dog each day I come home let’s me know I chose the right service and the perfect person to care after my dog. Thank you Barbara!”

“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!”
“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!!”
“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🐶”
“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!”
“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!”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing as always and so accommodating on short notice. Always have peace of mind being away knowing that our boy is happy and safe with her!”
“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.”
“David was everything we could ask for in a sitter, from initial contact all the way through to pick-up. We especially appreciate how communicative he was, quickly responding to our initial request, arranging a meet-and-greet, and then providing steady updates throughout Teddy's (9yo Pomeranian) stay. Upon meeting, David gave us the confidence that our small dog's safety and comfort was a priority, patiently listening to our lengthy and exhaustive introduction while Teddy made himself right at home. When we returned, Teddy settled right in and all of the pictures and videos during his stay were of a happy, contented creature in excellent hands. We look forward to future visits, and think Teddy will be just as glad to return!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Amber was amazing! Took care of our big boy Gryffin while we were out of town. She sent frequent updates and pictures. He had a blast and I didn’t have to worry at all during the time we were gone. Would absolutely use again!”
“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.”
“My dog has never been happier besides me the pics I’ve seen made me feel so confident and comfortable with Rachel taking care of my baby boy he stayed active and she gave him the same level of care that I would have and khai her fur baby added the love to all the fun he had and in the pics she sent we will be seeing her again thanks for the love and care it is appreciated!!!”
“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.”
