“Jean was very kind and helpful. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I spent a long time making a decision and even visited other homes), but I felt comfortable leaving him there and I think he had lots of one on one time and was not alone very much. She seemed to really enjoy her time with my puppy (who is a bit of a handful despite his size). She checked in with photos every day. They went for lots of walks and play time and he seemed very well cared for overall. She even dropped him off for me as I was getting in on a late flight. She is obviously a loving,fun person and enjoys dogs a lot. I would recommend her to other dog owners. Thanks Jean!!”
“Nadine took SUCH good care of my pups! They loved their time with her. The backyard is amazing… so much room to roam. And her pets got along so well with mine. Lots of communication and photos. It was so nice to know my babies were being loved on so much while I was away. I’d definitely recommend Nadine!!!!”
“Susie was so comforting to have as our first Rover experience. She treats her canine guests like family. Didn’t have any worries during our time away. Thanks to Susie!”
“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”
“Samantha and Brian’s family watched our Wheaten Terrier for two weeks. They kept us updated with photos and we knew he was in good hands. Thanks for giving Charlie lots of snuggles while we were away.”
“We were nervous in leaving Louie with Kristopher, he hadn’t ever been boarded for that long! Our conversations before drop off put us at ease. Then came the photos and texts from Kris. We could tell Louie was having fun and being treated as one of the family. We won’t hesitate to call on Kris and his family the next time we plan a trip!”
“Liz was fantastic and had excellent communication. She loved on our pup and took extra special care of him while we were away. Would trust her with our pup anytime!”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“My elderly Austrailian Shepherd (15, lame, mostly deaf and blind) had an awesome stay with Bonnie, her very sweet, well behaved dog and two or three other boarding dogs for 10 days!! I hate leaving my old fellow for that long but I got pictures and updates every day that kept me abreast of how well he was doing. I think he actually enjoyed his time with his new friends. Bonnie is obviously sensitive and skilled as a doggy care provider! I will use her services again.”
“Shari was great! She sent photos of my puppies daily and cared for them like her own. She is an excellent communicator and seemed well-tuned to my dogs' needs during their stay. I will use her again. Thank you, Shari, for taking such good care of my pups!”
“Always a wonderful experience with Hannah. She is professional, communicative, takes GREAT care of my dog and frequently updates me on his progress. I would highly recommend and we will be back soon!”
“Julie is sweet and kind and the animals love her. My senior dog had the best stay with her. Lots of cuddles and a safe warm environment! I will definitely book Julie again and again!”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“Hanlan was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time needing a sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier. My two babies had such a fun time. Hanlan was extremely flexible, and was great at communicating. Definitely will be using her again when the next time comes.”
“Colton and Nicole were great!!! They were wonderful with my puppy and made her feel right at home. I’m sure she can’t wait to go back! They made me feel as ease by sending many updates throughout the week. They were wonderful, and I highly recommend anyone leaving their dog with them.”
“Our pup Bijou had a wonderful vacation with Jamie and Nicole while we were away. She went on some nice walks, and a couple of longer hikes during her week with them. We feel very comfortable leaving her in their care. She is always well treated and loved during her stays.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”
“I was in dire need for someone to watch my dog Tanner. Amanda and her family excepted him for me at the last minute. He did very well at there place, and I am very confident that he will continue to do well there, as I will continue to bring him to there house Thank you again for all your help and support.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Summer checking in and visiting my young and shy kitty Casper! She was always on time or early, and her communication was and is excellent. She sent updates with pictures and videos, and I had total peace of mind knowing Casper was in good hands while I was away. She is so wonderful, she brought little gifts and treats for Casper! I trust and recommend Summer, and I would definitely book her again in the future! 🫶🏼”
“Avalon was the best cat sitter for my boy cat. I needed someone last minute and she was able to take on his care and was a great communicator throughout the process. My cat needed 3 different oral medications which she was able to administer without any problems. And if you know cats and meds it’s very challenging to get meds in them! She definitely knows cat language and behavior and I would highly recommend her for any cat care. I felt very at ease leaving my boy under her care. Not to mention my cat absolutely loved and adored her. Avalon you are a cat whisperer thank you so much!!”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently have a 3-year-old cat named Chopper, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Living with cats has taught me that every cat has their own personality. Some love attention and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing in a quiet space. I'm happy to adapt to your cat's routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'll provide fresh food and water, keep litter boxes clean, spend quality time playing or cuddling (if your cat wants it!), and always make sure they're safe and happy. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in great hands. I treat every cat like they're my own, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Shianne was great! Our cat hid most of the time, but we still felt at ease knowing he was being checked on and cared for. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her help!”
“Emily did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was out of town. She’s super easy to work with, very communicative, and made me feel at ease. The pics each day were really nice to receive too. Came home to two very happy cats! Highly recommend!”
“Damita did a great job pet sitting for my cat Misty. Damita communicated well and sent pictures and updates. Misty sometimes gets a bit stressed if I'm away for too long but she was calm and happy when I arrived home so I knew she had been well taken care of. I have already requested Damita to pet sit again for another trip I have coming up soon. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kimberly takes such wonderful care of my deaf/blind old pup, Ollie and my shy kitty, Louise! She had dropped by to care for them a few times and I absolutely adore the photos she sends. I can just tell that both of my animals are comfortable and curious with Kimberly. I know it’s because Kimberly treats them like they were her own. It is so clear that she loves animals and really will go the extra mile (or few) to make sure the animals are cared for. Five stars and would highly recommended!”
“Kat was incredibly diligent and professional with our 4 kitties, including one senior cat with special needs! She went above and beyond while we were out of town for the week to administer medication on a schedule, deal with different feeding instructions, and take care of the house. We got such great updates and pictures throughout our trip, and Kat really put our mind at ease! I would absolutely rely on her again.”
“Sophia was able to accept a last minute booking for me when my friend got sick and couldn’t check on my kitty! She was responsive and followed my directions exactly. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I work at a pet hospital that specializes in the care of cats and dogs, where I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 2 and a half years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Alicia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I know that trusting someone with your pet isn’t just about finding a sitter—it’s about finding someone who will care for them like family. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply curling up for snuggles, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and personalities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. As a pet owner myself, I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure every animal gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so daily walks and active play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply a calm, loving companion, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and provide the care they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I know every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own and strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own animals.
“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and I felt comfortable leaving my cat in Mackenzie's care. She was on time every day. She spent time with my cat and sent us an update and picture every visit. I will definitely use her again.”
“Christine was great for this first time Rover user. Great communication and pictures, she made the process easy for me overall. I would absolutely use Christine for overnight cat watching!”

“First puppy daycare adventure for Dustin and it went so well! Hannah and family are wonderful communicators.

“This is My First experience with Rover and I am so happy I choose Nicole and Colten! They took great care of my 4 month old dachshund puppy. He came home happy and fed and sleepy everyday! I am very impressed. He is even excited when he sees them. Highly recommend☺️”

“Jaimo (Jennifer) was awesome! After Daisy first day of daycare, Daisy was so excited to jump in the car in the morning knowing she'll be spending another day with Jaimo & co. It was like her second home. Once Jaimo's door was open, Daisy ran in without looking back. Jaimo took great care of Daisy, gave her meds as instructed, and always updated us throughout the day. We will definitely book Jaimo again. :) Thank you!!”
“Our puppy had the best day with Kristopher. He was sensitive to our puppy’s needs, and eased her into meeting his crew when she was nervous on arrival. She seems to have had the best day, and we are so appreciative of his expertise with puppies.”

“Ava is an amazing host! This was Dexter's second time with her, although a much shorter stay, Dexter came back home wiped out from all of the playing. I feel very comfortable whenever Dexter's over there playing because I know he's getting love and attention! Highly recommended.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had an event and we connected with Melodie because of her location nearby. Melodie was very quick to respond and suggested a meet and greet prior to the day of the sitting.our little dog met her sweetie and seemed to get along right off the bat. Melody prefers small dogs, which is great for us. She has a nice set up and is very caring and we will use her again!”
“With lots of young children attending, our relatives hosting the Christmas Day gathering asked that no guests bring their pets. Rather than leave our little guy by himself for that many hours, we turned to Rover - and Julie came to our rescue! We had done a meet-and-greet previously, so I felt that Django and Aspen would spend most of their time playing and chasing each other, and by all reports that's what they did. I must thank Julie again for taking care of my pup, and on Christmas to boot! I would not hesitate to recommend Julie as a dog-sitter.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life. My family has owned dogs since I was about 6 and cats since before I was born. Since I was 15, I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and my neighbors which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, personalities, and levels of need. I know that every dogs has its own special needs, and I will always make it my priority to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you are away. I am working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with the pets in my care. While I will need to leave for a few hours during the day, I make taking care of your pets my priority. On most work days I am able to stop by during my lunch break and check on pets, let them outside, take them for a short walk, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. Outside of work hours, I will be available to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship to ensure your pet feels happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and cared for while maintaining their routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, basic bathing and grooming and any special needs. I also make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I can also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away. I am also willing to do basic home care and cleaning for the client while I am staying in their home.
“Cassie was great and took great care of my 75 lb Labrador retriever. We received photos and videos of our dog having a great time! Cassie was very communicative and kept us informed at all times!”
“This was our 1st time leaving our 2 dogs with Roxie. A great experience. The dogs had a great time. Lots of photos through out the day, which we appreciated. Highly recommended. Excellent care.”
“She was able to take care of my pups short notice. She provided lots of pics. I am traveling and my pups were very nervous about everything. They handled it very well and I'm sure Maggie made it easy!”
“Amy, Eric, and Finley made our girl Riley feel like part of the family! She got a great long walk and then got to relax and snuggle for the rest of the evening. They paid close attention to her and accommodated her personality, quirks, and even a few nervous farts 😅 We really appreciate it!”
“Dawne, Aaron and Charlie took care of our Cocoa so we could have a nice afternoon out. They sent a few pics to show us she was having a great time! Thanks so much!! We hope to see them again soon!”

“I am so incredibly grateful for Alicia. I had an unexpected emergency and had to rush to the hospital, she was able to step in and take care of my dog on such short notice. During an already stressful situation, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in caring hands. What touched me even more is her thoughtfulness, compassion, and willingness to help when I really needed it meant more than I can say. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. ❤️”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs in the house, even one gerbil! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals since the age of 12, and I have experience administering medication and feel comfortable with any extra care your pet may require. I am a freelancer and my last contract ended recently. I am appreciating this downtime, which means I have an open schedule to provide care throughout the day for your pets. I would like to meet your pet in their own environment to keep continuity, and am happy to set up a check-in schedule with you for updates about your pet’s day and routine, including pictures if requested.
“Emily has been a lifesaver in walking our very strong and energetic pointer puppy. Sammie is excited to see her arrive each time. Emily has good communication and is reliable. I can recommend her without hesitation.”

I’m also an experienced dog trainer who specializes in training herding breeds. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I’m currently available any day of the week, afternoons or evenings. I will care for your pet exactly as instructed, including walks/food/water/grooming etc. and I won’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I will care for your pet as if it’s my own :)
“Stephanie was fantastic. She went above and beyond. She took great care of my dogs. And she did the full walks in the rainstorms. I would definitely recommend and hire her again.”
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm Nate, and if you've got a dog who needs a walk, a cat who needs a buddy, or a pup who just wants a solid hang — you've found the right human. I didn't just grow up around animals — I grew up with them. We're talking dogs, cats, birds, and full-on farm animals. At any given point in my childhood, our place was basically a petting zoo with a roof. I've hand-fed, cleaned up after, played with, and genuinely loved more species than most people have on their bucket list. These days I'm a proud dog owner myself, and I've also fostered for multiple rescues and organizations — including the Puerto Rico Dog Fund and Many Miles from Home Animal Shelter — so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your fur baby. What does all of that experience mean for your pup? It means I'm calm in chaos, patient with personalities, and I actually enjoy watching animals just... be themselves. Whether your dog is a zoomies-at-6am type or a "I will sniff this one blade of grass for 45 seconds" type — I'm here for all of it. My goal is simple: to be the person your dog loses their mind over when they hear my car pull up. Walks, hangouts, check-ins — whatever your pet needs, I bring the energy, the patience, and the genuine love of animals to back it up. Your furry friend won't just be in good hands. They'll be having the time of their life. 🐕 I work from home, so your pet gets real quality time — not just a quick pop-in between meetings! I'm also an early riser, so mornings mean walks, fresh air, and getting those zoomies out before most people even hit snooze. Whether I'm at your place or mine, I follow your rules — feeding schedules, routines, preferred spots on the couch, all of it. You know your pet best and I'm here to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. If your pet stays with me, they'll have a fully fenced backyard to roam and my 4-year-old smaller German Shepherd to show them the ropes — she's basically the ultimate icebreaker.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! My mother was a dog breeder, meaning I have experience with puppies! I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a dog in the house growing up, wasn’t till recently that I haven’t had a pet in the home. I’m a single mom to an animal loving 3 year old, who would be my little helper. I currently work in the medical field meaning I’m comfortable administering all kind of medications, whether that be topical, oral, or injectable medications. I have done pet sitting in the past, I have taken care of many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, horses, livestock, you name it I’ve probably taken care of it! I currently work full time, but I am home on evening and weekends, so I’m home starting Friday night to Sunday night to take your pup out as often as possible. During the week I am gone typically 12-14 hours a day, but if your pup is use to that I can make it work to let them out in the morning and then rush back to let them out once I’m home. I live in a duplex with a small fence in area that I can do quick potty breaks and then live close to walking trails for longer outside times. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves to play with animals. I also love close to parks that I can take dogs to if owner is comfortable with me transporting them. I also live close to my sister who has an active dog who loves friends to play with so that is an option if you have a high energy dog that likes friends.
“Nadine was super responsive and flexible when I needed last minute help with walking my dog. Nadine was great at communicating before and during the walk if there were any questions and being patient with my stubborn boy. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine a home without them. While I haven't worked as a professional dog sitter, I've spent years caring for my own dogs and have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone trustworthy to watch their pets. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications as directed, or simply providing companionship and lots of affection, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they're part of my family. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I strive to provide a calm, loving, and dependable experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or cuddling on the couch, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs and routine. I look forward to meeting your pup and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs every day. I enjoy going on walks, spending time outdoors, and making sure dogs get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special requests from pet parents. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, attention, and affection, while treating every pet as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me.

“Jean was very kind and helpful. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I spent a long time making a decision and even visited other homes), but I felt comfortable leaving him there and I think he had lots of one on one time and was not alone very much. She seemed to really enjoy her time with my puppy (who is a bit of a handful despite his size). She checked in with photos every day. They went for lots of walks and play time and he seemed very well cared for overall. She even dropped him off for me as I was getting in on a late flight. She is obviously a loving,fun person and enjoys dogs a lot. I would recommend her to other dog owners. Thanks Jean!!”
“We were nervous in leaving Louie with Kristopher, he hadn’t ever been boarded for that long! Our conversations before drop off put us at ease. Then came the photos and texts from Kris. We could tell Louie was having fun and being treated as one of the family. We won’t hesitate to call on Kris and his family the next time we plan a trip!”
“Liz was fantastic and had excellent communication. She loved on our pup and took extra special care of him while we were away. Would trust her with our pup anytime!”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“My elderly Austrailian Shepherd (15, lame, mostly deaf and blind) had an awesome stay with Bonnie, her very sweet, well behaved dog and two or three other boarding dogs for 10 days!! I hate leaving my old fellow for that long but I got pictures and updates every day that kept me abreast of how well he was doing. I think he actually enjoyed his time with his new friends. Bonnie is obviously sensitive and skilled as a doggy care provider! I will use her services again.”
“Always a wonderful experience with Hannah. She is professional, communicative, takes GREAT care of my dog and frequently updates me on his progress. I would highly recommend and we will be back soon!”
“Colton and Nicole were great!!! They were wonderful with my puppy and made her feel right at home. I’m sure she can’t wait to go back! They made me feel as ease by sending many updates throughout the week. They were wonderful, and I highly recommend anyone leaving their dog with them.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”
“I was in dire need for someone to watch my dog Tanner. Amanda and her family excepted him for me at the last minute. He did very well at there place, and I am very confident that he will continue to do well there, as I will continue to bring him to there house Thank you again for all your help and support.”
“Sunny’s stay with Charisse was wonderful! She goes over & above to accommodate every dog & you can tell she & her family love to have them around. Sunny already misses her & her new puppy friends. Will definitely use Charisse again.”
“Carolyn had our 14 year old Dixie for 2 weeks. Carolyn enjoyed our Rocky and Rocky really enjoyed Carolyn. Carolyn kept us informed on how he was doing while we were gone, and sent photos. Rocky was in good spirits when we returned to pick him up and he’s doing just fine at home. Carolyn gave Rocky a lot of attention and love, and we couldn’t be happier. We’re looking forward to having Carolyn sit Rocky again in the near future. Thank you Carolyn!”
“Mara was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our pups with her and she did a fantastic job. She is super communicative, helpful, and followed our suggestions to a T. They came back happy, well taken care of, and healthy. I would 100% leave them with her and in her care again and again. She even made sure to tell us she had another pup that would overlap with our dogs while they stayed there to make sure we are okay with it before extending with that client. Her yard is fully fenced and has a double gate so no one can get out accidentally. 10/10 feel confident leaving your dogs in her care!”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“From the moment my two dogs met Peter they loved him. He is so good with doggies! The pictures he sent me showed just how happy they were with his family. They were given lots of time, affection, and fun, as well as special attention and grooming. They were with him because I was in the hospital for a medical procedure that went longer then expected. For me Peter's flexibility with my situation and the confidence he inspired made leaving my doggies in his hands in an already stressful time for me a peaceful decision. I would clearly recommend him!”
“Laura was absolutely amazing!! It was very clear that she treated my dogs with much love and care. She sent regular check-ins with pictures. I felt very relieved to know they were being treated so well!”
“Anastasia was fantastic! My dogs warmed up to her so fast, it was like they already knew each other. She gave frequent updates and loved them like family. She was even accommodating when we had travel plans change on us because of the weather. We’re definitely going to book with her again!”
