“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kelsey is absolutely amazing. My dog Lilly loves going there. She shows a ton of love and affection and plays with the dogs. She also sends lots of pictures. I have used her a few times now and I highly recommend her. Just don’t steal her when I need her, lol 🤣”
“I could not rave high enough about Ashley! She accepted a last minute booking for my golden retriever for 3 nights without hesitation! I got so many picture updates and could tell Murphy had an absolute blast. Will be booking with her again!”
“Emily is a great dog sitter, I would highly recommend. I truly appreciate the daily photos and the dropping off service. Eevee seems equally as happy. Thank you Emily.”
“I boarded my bloodhound for over a week, and Kristi did an amazing job taking care of my dog and providing tons of pictures/videos/updates. Previously, my dog has had difficult experiences being boarded with other sitters. But with Kristi, he was happy and relaxed with no signs of stress.”
“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“Lauren took the best of care of Teddy and really made it comfortable for us to leave him with her. Definitely would recommend and will be a repeat customer.”
“John and Shannon took amazing care of our lab. They sent photos/ videos daily of Maggie, playing outside, going on walks, and relaxing in the house. We felt so comfortable and are excited for Maggie to have such a great place to stay in the future!”
“Shorey had a great time staying with Nicole! She was able to play outside a lot with Nicole’s pup and was tuckered out when she got home, which was great! Great communication the entire time.”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“Jasmine was lovely! She watched our puppy Marco for 8 days while we were on vacation. We received daily updates, pictures and she made us all laugh with telling us about his funny puppy antics. He was so loved while we were gone and we are very grateful for the loving care he received!”
“Sally you are the best with care of my pups! They are eager to enter your home, and clearly enjoyed your company and social time! They come back tired, loving your yard and in great health. Thank you so much! JO”
“Tina was fantastic. Love the photo updates. She took our dog Buddy on multiple walks. I appreciate her knowledge of doggy behavior and interaction. Our dog is a bit "insecure", and she was sensitive to his needs. Thank you, Tina!”
“They took care of my Doberman so well. Atla was super happy there and seemed to really enjoy them 😊 I really appreciate the love care and attention they gave to her.”

“Nicole is great! I have some special needs kitties and Nicole was willing and kind to care for them for several days. So happy I found Nicole who lives in the same area 😊”
“Julie is AMAZING. I cant say enough good things about this kind hearted animal whisperer. She loves each one just like they are her own. I had to leave my animals for an emergency medical situation, and Julie was there to take care of things. My animals live her and look forward to her visits! I would recommend Julie K to anyone. Thank you Julie for the honor!”
“Carolyne, It was a very trying week for you with the winter storm, our unplowed driveway and the door lock problem. Thank you for taking it all in stride and giving excellent care to Jynxie, Boo and Van. I really appreciate all you do and the loving care you provide. Thank you, Donna”
About: I truly love animals, specially cats and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I volunteered for 3 years at a cat rescue in Colombia, working closely with cats of all kinds, including shy, sick, and special-needs kitties. I was also a foster home for a year, caring for cats with FIV, so I’m very comfortable giving medications, monitoring health, and providing gentle, patient care.
“She went above and beyond with taking care of our 4 Maine Coons while we were out of town. She even saved us when my husband forgot to pause his weekly meal plan order and she was able to bring it inside and put it away in the freezer for us. We received tons of photos and our furry boys were happy and content when we got home. It was a smooth stress free vacation for us knowing the boys were in such good hands.”
“Kyra is awesome! She makes sure our senior cats (who can be a bit fussy) get what they need and keeps us posted. We're so grateful for her help. Would recommend!”
“Maria did a great job taking care of my cat. This was my first experience with her petting-sitting service but definitely won't be my last! She was consistent with her visit time, sent regular updates and even vacuumed the floor in the bedroom to clean up the litter! I so appreciated her attention to the details.”

“Kelsey was very communicative and kept me updated on my puppy's social progress. She arrived very shy and returned the next day with confidence. Thank you, Kelsey, for creating an environment that helped Lila come out of her shell!”

“Vainy helped us out with short notice and did an outstanding job! She sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs seemed very happy when I picked them up. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!”
“Georgia was well taken care of by Yoniray and family. It was our first time using Rover, but Yoniray made us feel at easy with updates and pictures throughout the day. I would recommend Yoniray to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog.”
“We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!”
About: I care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—it’s not just a job for me, it’s something I look forward to every day. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re with me. I live in an area with easy access to walking trails, and daily walks are a big part of my routine. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment, not just quick potty breaks. I also have experience caring for puppies and can help reinforce basic training during their stay, such as leash walking, routines, and positive behaviors. I’m patient and consistent, and I understand how important structure is—especially for younger dogs. Overall, I treat every dog like my own and focus on giving them attention, activity, and a calm, caring environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. Dogs in my care get regular walks, attention, and a consistent routine. I’m flexible and can adjust to each dog’s needs. Dogs are allowed to freely walk around in the house. I always make sure to leash them when we go explore the world outside. The walking trails in my neighborhood are well paved and safe.
“Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.”
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”
“Maria was AMAZING with my dog! She was a literal lifesaver at the last minute and my puppy was tired at the end of his stay! Thank you SO much Maria! I highly recommend her!”
About: I truly love all animals and will treat your pet as my own while they are in my care! I have experience house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and experience with senior pets. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet and give them the love and care they need while you are away! I work fully from home so I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I work Monday through Friday and can fit pet care in the mornings, midday, and evenings those days. I do not work weekends so I am even more available Saturdays and Sundays. I will care for your pet in your home exactly as you would. I carefully follow all instructions provided and will be communicative throughout my time with your pet. I can assist with anything you may need in your home as well, such as plants or getting mail. I know the stress of being away from your pet, so I am here to make it as easy on you as possible!
“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”
About: I an 3 year veterinary nurse with 2 years experienced in pet sitting . I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that animals need more than just food and walks—they need love, attention, and a calm, reassuring presence while you’re away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication needs, I’m reliable, attentive, and always on schedule. I also provide regular updates, so you stay connected with your furry friend. Safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. You can count on me to ensure your pet feels at home—even when you’re not. Trust, compassion, and care define my service. Let me give you peace of mind, and give your pet the love they deserve. I am currently a part time veterinary nurse so. I tend to be able to schedule myself very well to make sure I prioritize every pet I’m sitting and make sure they always come first. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of my clients animals. I pay close attention to their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they’re fed a proper diet, have clean water, and live in a safe, comfortable environment. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are literally my children. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard due to no need for one because my pets are really well and staying on my property. So when it comes to pet sitting in my home , depending on how trained the animals are I am some times able to have them roam free with my pets along with supervision or I tend to leash walk if that’s way doesn’t work out . I prioritize myself on keeping my pets safe and other people’s pets safe as well.
“Hayley is so sweet! Has been updating me on a regular about my fur baby and sending pictures. I definitely felt very comfortable and at ease leaving knowing my pup does have a little separation anxiety. Definitely will be back!:)❤️”
“He’s FABULOUS! My dog has not been boarded for years and coming to Tom’s home was easy for him. Tom took the time to meet us before he came to stay long term, so when Max saw Tom he was all happy tag wags! This is a miraculous event. I expected Max to be shy and back away, but he trotted into the house like he was an old friend. I am so grateful for Tom!”
“Tatyana did a great job providing doggy daycare twice a week! I moved to SC and my son in Dublin, OH took care of Louie for a month while I traveled for work. I was so relieved that Louie was well taken care of and happy when my son was at work! He typically doesn’t like other dogs and Tatyana appropriately introduced him slowly to her dog and they became buddies. Louie looked forward going to her house and he’s an anxious picky pup. I highly recommend her!!”

“Kaitlin is fantastic! She’s been looking after Loki our GSD since he was 4 months and now checks in once a day when I’m at the office to give him lovin’s and take him on a walk. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and is a great resource for new pet parents!”
“Lauren has been amazing!! Ive booked with her to walk dog on several occasions. She is always prompt for appointments. If there's ever any conflicts schedule, her communication is always excellent! I will continue to book with her for dog walking needs. I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“I believe Maria is absolutely wonderful and has a genuine interest in the well being of my pet Hershey! I enjoy hearing her updates and shared reports on how Hershey is doing. She is detailed in that and excellent with communication and getting back to you. I would highly recommend!”
“Jackie has been great! We’ve only used her for walks so far but she has always showed up on time and used at least the full half hour. Leo always seems well exercised when I get home! She feeds him his lunch as well. :)”
About: I have dog sat numerous times over the years to back up my sister when she was not available. In addition to caring for the pets, I have retrieved mail, newspapers, watered: lawns, flower beds, potted plants and houseplants. I turn lights on, and the TV for your pet. I love spending time with pets and would play with your pet and look after it as it was my own. I currently work full-time Monday through Wednesday and would be available to drop in to care for your pet Thursday through Sunday. I prefer a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure I am a good fit for your pet, however it’s not required if you are in a bind. I can easily drop in feed your dog & take it for a short walk. I can also have the TV on and a light if needed. I live in an apartment with my 10 year-old golden doodle however, due to my lease agreement, I am unable to care for your pet in my home or stay overnight in your home to care for your pet. I do not have a yard but open to taking your pet to the dog park, if they need to run, play and socialize with other dogs.

“Camille is so great with Hallie! She is clearly a dog lover and Hallie loved her. She is prompt with her timing and she always sends many pictures and great communication each visit. 10/10 would recommend for anyone needing someone to walk or watch their fur baby.”
About: I've owned dogs since high-school. I blessed to meet my soul dog 6yrs ago, but unfortunately lost him to cancer a year after we adopted him. Our current pup, Harley is a huge couch potato and loves kids... but she's my husband's doggo. I'm looking for families who can appreciate having a caretaker for their pets, who wants to be best friends with every dog and cat she meets and will love them like family. I work from home Monday- Friday. Which gives me lots of flexibility to provide care for your pets as needed. My job requires me to be detail oriented, good at multitasking and extremely reliable. All traits that I can bring into providing care for your furry best friend! I have great communication skills, can follow pet schedules as required for food/walks/potty breaks etc, and administer medication. As well as providing all the other important needs your pets might have, playtime, snuggles and treats!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since was 12! I used to check dogs in the neighborhood! I’ve even stayed at a house for two weeks taking care of two dogs one extremely geriatric. I am good with giving medication to dogs, getting them a daily walk, making sure they have frequent potty breaks, and a whole lot of belly rubs!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog every day. I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, medication, exercise, and routines. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for.
About: I've had a dog in my home since I was born, having 7 different dogs in my home over my lifetime. For the first time in 32 years, I have no dog in my home, because I'm living with my sister and can't get one of my very own, but I have lots of doggie love to share with your pups! Im currently unemployed and lost my most recent dog last year, I'm not quite ready to take the plunge and get a dog yet, but I miss having a pup around and have a lot of doggie loving to give. I promise to treat your dogs with the utmost care, and like they were a member of my own family. I'll keep them safe and happy until you can be reunited.

“Amazing Care for My Pup! 🐾 We really appreciated the care and patience that Maia provided to Remy who still very much has puppy energy but is already almost full size. Maia provided outstanding care for my dog while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares about her own dog, Kermit so I was very comfortable leaving Remy in her care. If Maia would be willing to take Remy again, I absolutely would book with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care! 🐶💕”
