“Sonia and family were great with our Brisket! He had a blast on his vacation, they shared updates, and he made new friends. Very easy to deal with and addressing of his parents’ questions. Would book again.”
“I feel very lucky to find Arsenii! He’s Bubba’s good friend and regular sitter now. I can always rest assured that Bubba would have a wonderful time with Arsenii. He always takes very good care of Bubba :)”
“I would give a hundred stars if I could. I’ve never left my cat alone before but Stephanie put me at ease. She is truly a professional, so kind and caring. I will book her every single time.”
“I had the pleasure of having Richard and Karen look after my dog recently, and I can't say enough good things. They did a truly wonderful job, and my dog absolutely adores them. It's clear they have a real knack for making pets feel comfortable and loved. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”
“Jessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.”
“Barbara was fantastic with Nola on her two week stay! Barbara kept us updated and sent videos of Nola living her best life, playing, running, hiking and falling asleep exhausted afterwards. Barbara helped Nola by teaching her to socialize with other dogs appropriately which she definitely needed. Nola was treated like she was part of the family. I highly recommend Barbara to provide a loving home to your dog.”
“You can tell how much Natasha and Hamir really care about dogs and they took such good care of our 6-month poodle puppy Jujuba during our 10-day trip. We were very worried as it was our first time away from our puppy but they did an amazing job treating him as if he was theirs and putting all our worries at ease. Natasha sent us updates everyday with pictures and prioritized Jujuba’s safety. The dog area is separated from the kitchen by gates, so you don’t need to worry about puppy swallowing something that’s not good for them. Natasha and Hamir not only took him on regular walks, but also kept him away from heat when it was too hot outside. Our puppy gets some eye allergy and Natasha cleaned his eyes as I asked. We could see how comfortable and happy Jujuba got with them when we picked him up. We will definitely use them again in future! 🥰🥰”
“Jadyn was excellent with Max. He was so happy with her. She is awesome and loving with Max. She took pictures and kept us updated. She takes great care of our dog. She is a definitely someone that you can trust with your pets. We will definitely be use her services for the future. I was thrilled with the care she provided for Max.”
“Jessica and her family were the perfect hosts for our dog. We felt comfortable that our pup was with a nice family who treated her as one of their own. We received regular updates and communication was excellent.”
“I had such a great experience with Lieb. He took amazing care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really helped me feel at ease knowing she was safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! Highly recommend.”
About: Hello, My name is Candice. I am a fur Momma to two Dogs. Princess Lola is a 7 year old Chocolate Labrador who is my gentle giant. She enjoys long walks with her dog friends and playing with her human brothers and sisters. Scrappy is a 14 year old Westie/ Bischon Frise mix who enjoys snuggles from his family and his bed. He is blind but navigates and acts like he can see. I did have a third fur baby that crossed the rainbow bridge last year as he lost his fight with cancer. My Brodie was a 13 year old Long Haired Chihuahua/ Papillon mix and in his younger years enjoyed playing nose soccer with his family. In his senior life he enjoyed snuggling up with his brother Scrappy most. My husband Craig and I are raising our 4 children ages 4-11. They have lived their entire lives with dogs. We are a family of dog lovers and cant wait to meet your fur babies. I have experience in caring for dogs ages ranging from puppy to senior. I also have experience administering oral medication. I have been a stay at home mother and homemaker for the past 11 years which allows me to have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog. I offer a variety of services. Outdoor dog walking from little to no incline for older dogs or dogs with walking difficulties to uphill or hiking for more active and energetic dogs. I can provide care in my home with my family or care in your home for play time, feedings, or to give medicine.
“Hayden and Colin were so amazing when we needed someone last minute to watch our dog Mitch for a whole month. They treated him like one of their own dogs and sent us so many pictures every day of all their cuddles and play time. It was such a relief to have someone we could trust while we were away. They helped give his medication and manage his upset stomach. Mitch is already missing his dog friends and can’t wait to come visit again.”
“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”
“I cannot recommend Ariana highly enough! I left my Goldendoodle in her care for two weeks, and the peace of mind was incredible. From day one, Ariana’s communication was detailed, positive, and incredibly reassuring. She sent daily photos and written updates that kept me smiling and informed throughout my trip. What truly set Ariana apart was her patience and attentiveness to my dog's personality. She can be quite skittish about new things, but Ariana gently encouraged her to try new experiences without ever pushing her comfort zone too far. I even had the joy of seeing my dog confidently walk across a bridge she used to be afraid of — a huge milestone thanks to Ariana’s supportive handling! She also made sure my dog stayed mentally stimulated with visits to new parks and local dog-friendly spots. When I came back to pick my dog up, she was thrilled to see me but clearly missed Ariana, wanting to stay just as much. You could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well-cared for. If you are looking for a sitter who pays close attention to detail and truly cares about your dog’s emotional well-being, Ariana is the one.”
“We had our dog stay with Joy for 8 days while we were away on vacation. She took such great care of Daisy and gave her the most fun week of her life! We looked forward to the regular updates and photos Joy sent us. She made us feel not only comfortable with leaving our dog in her care, but also that she was providing lots of attention and love for her in our absence. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking in the future. Daisy will be so happy to stay with her again!”
“Maureen was very attentive to Harley, sending updates and photos daily. Harley is a sensitive dog and didn't want to eat at first, but after Maureen's tender loving care, eventually started eating. Harley seems even more cuddlier than before the stay, which tells me she built some good human animal bond habits. Thanks Maureen!”
“My dog had a fantastic time w Maxine and her family :) He stayed for ten days and Maxine was kind enough to send pictures and/or a video daily, which was very welcomed while we traveled! I wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your dog 🐕”
“Kathleen is amazing! I was nervous as I’d never left my kitten for longer than a day before, but she treated Gnocchi like her own. She updated me with pictures and videos and gave her so many snuggles. My cat definitely had the time of her life and I will be booking with Kathleen again!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Samantha! She took excellent care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated with regular messages and adorable pictures throughout the day. It really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Samantha was also very easy to communicate with, accommodating, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Chris was a delight to work with! He stayed with our 4 kitties for a week and took excellent care of them, despite their shyness/fussiness. It had been so long since we had traveled for an extended time and it was a great relief to know our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. Will definitely reach out to him in the future!”
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities from affectionate, social cats to shy or the ones who pretend they don’t need you… until they do. I understand cat body language and know when it’s time to interact and when it’s better to give them space. I take a calm, patient approach and let each kitty set the pace when it comes to trust and interaction. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, litter box care, playtime, and enrichment, and I always respect a cat’s boundaries, even when those boundaries change five minutes later. I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall mood, and I’ll let you know right away if anything seems off. I also love sending regular photo and video updates, so you can feel relaxed knowing your cat is comfortable, safe, and being treated like the little boss they are.
“I have booked Carmila before, and have always been satisfied. She was very understanding when I needed to modify the schedule, which is appreciated. All in all professional and highly recommended.”
“Marta went above and beyond!!! I knew after the initial visit with Marta my 3 cats would be well taken care of. Marta was on time for each visit, making sure they had all they needed, even spending quality time with the cats during each visit. Marta communicated promptly and sent great pics of the cats after each visit. Marta made my 8 days out of the country stress free because I knew the cats would be well taken care of. I will definitely use Marta again in the future and highly recommend!!!! 5 stars!!! Thank you, Marta!!”
About: Besides having raised both cats and dogs all my life, I also have several years experience with volunteering at animals shelters. I can provide leash manners, socialization and provide medical care. At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.
“Stacy was great! She kept me up to date with everything, sent photos and was caring for my pet and home. She definitely went above and beyond. I will certainly use her again!”

I keep their living areas clean, make sure they are fed and have fresh water daily and pay close attention to their health, including administering medication if required. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with patience, affection, and attentive care
“Cece is dependable and kind. My cat is 13 years old so I don’t like to leave him but I have a life that includes occasional traveling. I feel he is safe and secure with Cece.”
“Greeshma was wonderful with our 3 cats! She was communicative, took great photos, played with them a lot, and managed to charm all 3 of them. Highly recommend her, and would love to have her sit for us again!”
“Stephanie takes great care of all of our pets, is quick to respond to questions/concerns about them, and was able to accommodate our booking on a day's notice due to a family emergency that required us to travel immediately. I highly recommend her!”
“Wow - I booked Cynthia to watch over my two cats while I was away and I was blown away by the attention, care and love she provided them! My cats do not take very well to strangers but Cynthia has a way with animals and they warmed up to her immediately. I couldn't believe it. She sent me detailed information describing her visit and how she played with them, brushed them and took care of food/water/litter. She took great photos to assure me they were doing well and even watered a couple plants for me that I forgot needed some love too. I will definitely be using Cynthia for my next trip, I felt so at ease with her warm energy watching over my fur babies! They miss her already!”
About: Looking for care that goes above and beyond? I make sure to try and provide everything your cat needs, not just food, water, and a clean litter box. I try to tailor care to the individual cat, so whether you have a loner cat who likes his privacy or a social kitty who needs lots of love I will do my best to meet their needs.
“Richard and Karen were great caretakers for our old cat. They showed up on time and shared photos of their visit to let us know he was doing alright while we were away. Definitely will work with them again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats, having owned a Persian cat throughout my teenage years. I was responsible for her daily care, including brushing her coat, cleaning the litter box, feeding, and giving her plenty of attention. I currently offer drop-in visits for cats, and I'm also happy to provide house sitting for families with both dogs and cats, so all of your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while you're away.
“Crystal is always so good with my two cats! They absolutely adore her, and they’re hard to win over. She also effectively administered two daily medications for my cat. I rely on Crystal for all of my cat sitting at this point!”
“Brittnay was great and came last minute for a check in and potty break. One of our dogs invisible fence collar had come off and she contacted me immediately because she knew Honey was a runner.”

“Sonia did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She is very patient, kind, and made sure my pup felt comfortable and happy. She also share photos during the day and walk our pup several times a day. I would definitely bring my dog back again and highly recommend their daycare!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals because I truly love them. In my home country, the Dominican Republic, I cared for three Yorkshire dogs, a cat, four cockatoos, and a horse. I have also rescued abandoned animals, supported their recovery, and placed them in responsible adoptive homes. I am patient, reliable, and very attentive to each pet's individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so it is my main daily focus. I provide in-home care and am available throughout the day to offer constant attention, supervision, walks, timely feedings, playtime, and companionship. I carefully follow each pet's routine and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for pets in my home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment. I make sure to remove any potential hazards and keep doors and areas secure at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, medication, and specific routines. I provide constant supervision, loving attention, and a comfortable space where pets feel relaxed and at home.
“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my dog, and she sent cute pictures throughout the day. She communicates via the Rover app and responds quickly. She is truly a gifted dog sitter, and I am so thankful I found her!”
“Alicia was patient and calm with Frisky, who takes a little while to warm up to new situations. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him at Alicia’s, and would not hesitate to use her again. Frisky had a great time hanging out with her dogs. I picked up a happy and tired pup!”
About: If your dog loves people, attention, walks, adventures, and being part of the family, they will probably feel right at home with me! I provide very personalized care and only board one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family. There are no children or other pets in my home, so your dog gets plenty of individual attention in a calm home environment. Your dog isn't just staying at my house, they become part of my everyday life while they're with me. At home, dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable. They can sleep in my bed, curl up on the couch, or choose a therapeutic dog bed if they prefer their own quiet space. For food motivated dogs, I have five different dog puzzles and enjoy playing "find the treats" and other enrichment games. We also have a fenced yard for supervised play and relaxing outside. Most days include 3–4 walks, ranging from a quick 10-minute potty walk to a 30–45 minute adventure. Depending on what your dog enjoys, we may explore Peekskill's riverfront parks, walk around the neighborhood, or head to nearby wooded trails. For dogs who love water, swimming adventures may also be an option. Because I like having my guest dogs with me, they are rarely left home alone. Dogs staying with me should be comfortable riding in the car and enjoy being around people. They may join me for a visit to the horse farm where I board my horse or relax with me while I visit friends. Dogs who are happiest staying with me tend to be friendly, well-mannered, and enjoy attention, car rides, walks, and being included in everyday activities. Since my husband works from home, a dog with minimal barking is the best fit for our home. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs must be comfortable using stairs independently or be small enough for me to safely carry if needed. A Little About Me I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs. I have professional experience working in a commercial dog daycare, supervising groups of up to 30 small and medium-sized dogs as well as puppy groups. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and similar friendly companion breeds. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and recognizing canine body language and signs of stress. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. We hiked, kayaked, visited beaches, traveled from Maine to Florida, and shared countless everyday adventures. The way I cared for Kobi is the inspiration behind the care I provide now—I want dogs staying with me to feel included, comfortable, and loved. I am also certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and bring a calm, patient approach to the dogs in my care. Prefer Care in Your Own Home? Some dogs are happiest staying in their familiar environment, and I also offer overnight house sitting. With standard house sitting, your dog should be comfortable being alone for approximately 4 hours in case I have other errands to run. If your dog needs someone present most of the day and cannot comfortably be left for more than about two hours, I may still be able to accommodate them with extended-care house sitting at $185 per night. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting a new boarding or house-sitting client so we can make sure your dog and I are a great match. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time at a dog daycare and also work from home as a self-employed bookkeeper and real estate agent. My schedule is flexible, and I can choose which days I work at the daycare, allowing me to plan around the dogs in my care. My husband also works from home, so boarding dogs are rarely left home alone. This flexibility allows me to provide plenty of companionship, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and individual attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs.
About: Dogs have always been integral to me and my family, I grew up with unconditional love they provided and provide to this day. I am very skilled and familiar with attentive care, love and fun they require, especially when away from home during boarding. I have a large house, plenty of room to stretch and play and a fenced in yard for sun basking and more play. Currently, I have a cute Boston Terrier girl (Maya), sweet and great with kids and other pets. Board with us! I am free to board and keep my calendar up to date. Prior meet and greet is preferable, (can be a 10 minute stop over) to ensure our pets get along and you feel comfortable leaving your loved companion in my care. Ensuring attentive care for your pet 24-7 and frequent potty breaks if required. Maya will ensure playful company, with cuddle breaks in between. Your pet is equally important as my pet, with full understanding that he/she will miss you a lot! I will make sure that they feel happy and cared for when in our company, with extra attention while you're away.

“Chris is a friendly and reliable dog walker! He is very communicative, and cares very much about Bonnie. He sent Rover cards and plenty of pictures of my big baby.”
“I totally lucked out finding Griffin through Rover. He was friendly, communicative, and quickly got to know my dog, Poppy's, personality and needs. I felt very secure having him take her out for walks while I was working. He was safety minded; thinking about the right place to walk with her, using a harness, and being mindful of ticks. I think Poppy loved her time with him and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”

“Candice was so communicative and made me feel at ease before she even arrived at the house. This was my first time using Rover and first time having someone walk Mocha without a previous introduction. It was so nice to know that Mocha was in good hands and Candice went above and beyond in making sure she got a good walk in and had time to pee/poop. I'm so appreciative of Candice and would recommend her to anyone!”
“I highly recommend Ariana! She was incredibly punctual and reliable, which gave me total peace of mind. My Goldendoodle is somewhat anxious and moves slowly, but Ariana handled her with such gentleness and patience. It’s clear she truly understands doodle behavior and dog temperament in general. She loved her, and I felt completely confident leaving her in her care.”

“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our high-energy puppy, even on a rainy day!! She went above and beyond to take care of our dog, and our dog absolutely loved her as well! I would highly recommend!”
About: Thank you for taking the time to consider me for your pet needs! I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I am an absolute animal lover! I currently have two dogs (2 sweet black labs). I enjoy helping dogs stay active through walks, runs, and playtime. Does your furry one like to snuggle? Because that is welcomed too! I have experience caring for dogs from 8 weeks to senior. I also have basic experience with administering oral medications. With me, you can trust that your furry family member is getting excellent compassionate care while you’re away! Please rest assured that your pet will be taken care of. I take pride in being detail-oriented, reliable, and compassionate. Please let me know if I can answer any questions! I look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available from early morning until late evening most days. My availability is continually updated to better serve you and your pet(s). I would love to care for your pets in the comfort of their home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walker? Well, I’m a graduate in zoology and conservation biology which means I’m not only committed to caring for your dog but I’m committed to a broader global mission of protecting all wildlife. Though I’ve been deprived of having a dog my whole life, I’m a huge dog and animal lover in general and have taken care of many animals from lizards, to ferrets, to primates and of course dogs. I’ve done lots of dog sitting in college and care for friends' dogs, and it’s my plan to get a dog as soon as I settle down somewhere. I'm also big hiker and runner, so if you're dog needs any form of exercise I am more than willing to help! My full time job has now ended for the summer season so I am free 24/7 for the next two months and able to do pet care whenever and wherever. Whatever service your dog needs I can provide. Whether it's feeding, going for a walk or run, monitoring them outside, entertaining, I am very responsible and get the job done as long as I there are clear instructions and necessary equipment is provided (leash, toys, food, etc). Of the pets I've owned I've always had an official schedule with feeding and watering times I strictly abide by. Most importantly, depending on the animal, I ensure play time and entertainment to ensure the animal is happy and healthy. With dogs specifically, I love to go on plenty of walks, runs and hikes if the owner is ok with it!
About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and have a lot of experience with training, guided leash walking, and reactivity. I’ve cared for my five-year-old golden retriever since her puppyhood, and have gained a lot of experience walking with, trust-gaining, and loving on an anxious pup. I’m a proud new mom of a human, but my Moosie will always be my first born baby! I’d love to get to know and care for your pup, too :)! I am a school teacher, so I am pretty flexible on hours during the summer. Generally, I am available as follows: Monday- Friday: 10:00 am-7pm. I have a lot of experience walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and strengths. My own dog is rather reactive, so I like to use walks as fun obedience training opportunities for pups! I find it makes the walk more interactive and bonding, while burning some extra brain energy for our furry friends. I personally appreciate when our walkers play with our girl and give her extra pets before and after walks, and I intend to do the same for yours as well! I will always respect your space and privacy.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs snd cats in my home as a side passion. I love animals and will care for your pet as if it were my own with safety, care, and match their preferences. Petting sitting is a part time passion I do to fill my love for animals. I work from home and am able to board your pet on the weekends or during the week with advance notice. I love to cuddle, pet, play and walk them. I have a pet free home with a large fenced in yard. I also love hiking and walking so I do walks with pets to provide attention and stimulation.

“I feel very lucky to find Arsenii! He’s Bubba’s good friend and regular sitter now. I can always rest assured that Bubba would have a wonderful time with Arsenii. He always takes very good care of Bubba :)”
“I would give a hundred stars if I could. I’ve never left my cat alone before but Stephanie put me at ease. She is truly a professional, so kind and caring. I will book her every single time.”
“I had the pleasure of having Richard and Karen look after my dog recently, and I can't say enough good things. They did a truly wonderful job, and my dog absolutely adores them. It's clear they have a real knack for making pets feel comfortable and loved. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”
“Barbara was fantastic with Nola on her two week stay! Barbara kept us updated and sent videos of Nola living her best life, playing, running, hiking and falling asleep exhausted afterwards. Barbara helped Nola by teaching her to socialize with other dogs appropriately which she definitely needed. Nola was treated like she was part of the family. I highly recommend Barbara to provide a loving home to your dog.”
“You can tell how much Natasha and Hamir really care about dogs and they took such good care of our 6-month poodle puppy Jujuba during our 10-day trip. We were very worried as it was our first time away from our puppy but they did an amazing job treating him as if he was theirs and putting all our worries at ease. Natasha sent us updates everyday with pictures and prioritized Jujuba’s safety. The dog area is separated from the kitchen by gates, so you don’t need to worry about puppy swallowing something that’s not good for them. Natasha and Hamir not only took him on regular walks, but also kept him away from heat when it was too hot outside. Our puppy gets some eye allergy and Natasha cleaned his eyes as I asked. We could see how comfortable and happy Jujuba got with them when we picked him up. We will definitely use them again in future! 🥰🥰”
“Jadyn was excellent with Max. He was so happy with her. She is awesome and loving with Max. She took pictures and kept us updated. She takes great care of our dog. She is a definitely someone that you can trust with your pets. We will definitely be use her services for the future. I was thrilled with the care she provided for Max.”
“Jessica and her family were the perfect hosts for our dog. We felt comfortable that our pup was with a nice family who treated her as one of their own. We received regular updates and communication was excellent.”
“I had such a great experience with Lieb. He took amazing care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really helped me feel at ease knowing she was safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! Highly recommend.”
“Hayden and Colin were so amazing when we needed someone last minute to watch our dog Mitch for a whole month. They treated him like one of their own dogs and sent us so many pictures every day of all their cuddles and play time. It was such a relief to have someone we could trust while we were away. They helped give his medication and manage his upset stomach. Mitch is already missing his dog friends and can’t wait to come visit again.”
“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”
“I cannot recommend Ariana highly enough! I left my Goldendoodle in her care for two weeks, and the peace of mind was incredible. From day one, Ariana’s communication was detailed, positive, and incredibly reassuring. She sent daily photos and written updates that kept me smiling and informed throughout my trip. What truly set Ariana apart was her patience and attentiveness to my dog's personality. She can be quite skittish about new things, but Ariana gently encouraged her to try new experiences without ever pushing her comfort zone too far. I even had the joy of seeing my dog confidently walk across a bridge she used to be afraid of — a huge milestone thanks to Ariana’s supportive handling! She also made sure my dog stayed mentally stimulated with visits to new parks and local dog-friendly spots. When I came back to pick my dog up, she was thrilled to see me but clearly missed Ariana, wanting to stay just as much. You could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well-cared for. If you are looking for a sitter who pays close attention to detail and truly cares about your dog’s emotional well-being, Ariana is the one.”
“Kathleen is amazing! I was nervous as I’d never left my kitten for longer than a day before, but she treated Gnocchi like her own. She updated me with pictures and videos and gave her so many snuggles. My cat definitely had the time of her life and I will be booking with Kathleen again!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Samantha! She took excellent care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated with regular messages and adorable pictures throughout the day. It really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Samantha was also very easy to communicate with, accommodating, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My dog didn’t want to come home after staying with Crystal and has pouted since I brought him home. He clearly had a blast. I read the positive reviews when booking, and I’m glad I listened to everyone. Highlights- great communication, loved my dog as her own, gave me complete peace of mind while I traveled. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust to watch my best friend.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and dedicated dog caregiver for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large and strong breeds such as Akitas, German Shepherds, and other high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from their family. I also volunteer with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, helping with their puppy training program. As part of the program, I have the opportunity to welcome a future guide dog puppy into my home for several days at a time and help with their training, socialization, routines, and everyday experiences. This has given me additional experience with consistency, positive reinforcement, following specific care instructions, and helping dogs build confidence in new environments. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime and exercise, some extra cuddles, structured routines, or simply a calm and loving place to relax, I’m happy to provide individualized care based on what works best for them. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel like they’re right at home! I work full-time, but my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning walks before work, evenings after 7 PM, and anytime on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and boarding. I have years of experience caring for dogs and currently care for two dogs as part of my full-time childcare position. I’ve also had dogs of my own in the past. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community with beautiful walking trails and plenty of places to explore. I’ll provide your dog with a safe, loving, comfortable environment, along with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
