“This was our first time booking Diana, and she was great! I was quite apprehensive as we just don't leave Romeo very often, and this was for a 2 week stay. But after 2 days of Diana's excellent communication (photos & videos), any worries were put to rest. Romeo even got to hang out with other clients and cats! I think possibly being around cats has changed his reaction to the many squirrels on our property! We will definitely be rebooking with Diana in the future. Thank you so much, Diana!!”
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“We love sending our dog to stay with Clay! His set up for dogs is amazing- multiple spaces for them to run and play. Clay is great about keeping us updated on our dog, as well as sending pictures, which we LOVE! Our dog has been to stay with Clay multiple times and we’ll keep sending him their way for our dog sitting needs.”
“You will not find more attentive and caring hosts than Dan and Dave! Our very anxious older dog was quickly at home with them and their sweet chihuahua, Hoss. Our Maisie was walked twice a day and I was sent pictures and updates each day. I couldn't recommend them more highly! They are wonderful pet hosts!!”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Jade is a rock star. I'm a serial repeat client. My dog Galen can't even be bothered to say goodbye to my husband and me when we drop him off because he's too focused on getting into Jade's house to play with his buddies. My 3 year old standard poodle has a lot of energy. At Jade's he gets to play fetch in her big backyard, wrestle or play chase with her dogs, and meet new dog friends as they come and go for boarding. Jade even took Galen on a car ride this time to look at Christmas lights! How wonderful is that!? I'm sad because I recently moved too far away to be able to have Galen stay with Jade much, if at all, and I'm worried about how I'm going to find another boarding situation even half as good as this one.”
“Our dog is old and requires medication and a very specific diet. Philly obliged and had no problem with the medication and dietary regimen. We received daily updates and photos and were very pleased with the communication. Will definitely book again.”
“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”
“Christina was helpful and very kind. I am grateful for the last minute ability to watch my baby. She was very reassuring during our meet and greet and her willingness to work with times for drop off and pick up. The house was warm and welcoming. I am thankful for the updates and photos to help with me being away. I did contact her first for an update but to be fair, it was early the next morning. Not sure I gave her enough time to update me first. Thank you for everything!”
“We had Gemma watch our small dog for the second time now and feel lucky to have found her. She is very kind, flexible and caring. Zoey can be anxious with strangers sometimes but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Gemma and her family.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast. Our pup loved being with her and her pitty. Highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have a 5 year old cavalier King charles spaniel, and had dog before him. Since small I always wanted take care dogs and know I want try it . I work Sunday- Wednesday morning shift, I can alway change a day to have weekend off or I can board after work Wednesday thru sunday I’ll treat the pet the same way if there were mine too. I’ll treat them all the same how I treat my dog that how I’ll treat yours too
About: Hi! I’m an educator who has always had a deep love and respect for nature and all living creatures. As a professional in education, patience, responsibility, structured care, and high attentiveness are built into everything I do. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have had a dog since I was 3 years old—she was my best friend and was by my side until she passed away at the age of 19. When I lived in Turkey, I had two dogs, and I brought both of my sweet girls with me when I moved to the USA. Sadly, they have both crossed the rainbow bridge and are now our little angels. ❤️ Today, our family includes two little dogs and one sweet cat. I have been caring for pets since elementary school and have always shared a special connection with them. Back in Turkey, I actively helped many people adopt dogs, including helping the school where I worked adopt a campus pet. I truly believe animals are family, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved is second nature to me. Why Choose Us for Your Pet? Constant Care & Attention: My husband works from home, and I work from home most of the time as well. This means there is almost always someone around to give your pets endless love, companionship, and attention. Professional Responsibility & Safety: With my educational background, strict adherence to feeding/walk routines, safety protocols, and individualized care come naturally to me. A Loving Home Away from Home: A friend encouraged us to try Rover, and we jumped at the opportunity simply because my husband and I both love animals so much. We treat every guest like our own family in a calm, welcoming, and stress-free environment. Peace of Mind: You will receive prompt responses, clear communication, and frequent photo/video updates so you always know your furry family member is happy and thriving. We can’t wait to welcome your sweet pet into our home! 🐶🐱✨ My husband works from home, and I work outside the home for a maximum of three half-days a week. The rest of the time, I’m home. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. For example, I recently cared for a large-breed puppy who wasn’t used to playing with small dogs. To make sure everyone was comfortable and safe, I divided my home into separate areas so he could have his own space while my dogs had theirs. I also moved my workspace next to his area so I could spend more time with him throughout the day. Since he had a lot of puppy energy, I took him on walks more frequently than I normally would to help him get his energy out and keep him happy and relaxed. My goal is always to understand each pet individually and create a routine where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“This is my first time working with Jennifer and she is amazing! My dogs are elderly and very very needy. Jennifer was so kind and gentle with them. They are usually anxious after being at a sitters, but this time they were happy and relaxed when I came to pick them up! She fed them fruits and veggies and treats which my dogs love. She was so accommodating and communicative. I would definitely be happy to have her care for my dogs again. Thank you so much!”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”

“Absolutely Amazing pet sitter! Astrid gave constant feedback, so many pictures. I need to know that my babies are happy and safe and I felt completely confident that they were very well taken care. Please take this review as my recommendation to hire Astrid.”
“Jamie did drop in visits for our cat and was great. She took care of all his needs and played with him and gave him lots of pets. She was super nice and our cat who is scared of most people was comfortable with her. She was always right on time for every check in and was great with communication and photos .”
“Pakuna did a great job taking care of my 4 cats, each with their own individual idiosyncrasies, personalities and abilities to get along with one another. She also gave medications to one of the cats on schedule and with no issues. She quickly learned how to manage them (provided treats were well used) and made sure they were happy and healthy. The photos she provided after each of her visits helped me see that they were being well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to request her again to take care of my cat crew.”
About: We are a duo who help others with their pets! My name is Desiree, and my partner’s name is Tyler. We are adventurous! Often, we fill our free time with hikes, walks around cities, and exploring parks. I grew up around animals—anything from rabbits, mice, cats, and dogs to some exotics like raccoons. As a kid, I would rehabilitate animals like deer or wild rabbits. I feel we need to look out for our little friends, as the world is hard for everyone. Being kind is important to me. I'm comfortable with giving medicine, or going the extra mile to help upkeep their health, may it be brushing teeth, giving baths, or grooming. Our goal is to provide the best, and perfect routine for your pets while you're away that would match closely to what you would do in your daily life to assure max comfort for your animals.
About: I really love getting to know each cat’s personality. Some cats are playful and social, some are shy and independent, and I’m happy to go at their pace. I have my own cat, Mango, so I’m very used to daily cat care like feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and paying attention to little changes in behavior. I’m patient, gentle, and truly enjoy making cats feel safe and comfortable while their people are away.
“Tina was a blessing!! I feel so bad leaving my cats for long trips but she eased my anxiety so much by giving thoughtful and thorough updates and lots of cute pics. She spent additional time sitting and playing with them which means so much because I know they get lonely. They’re also having problems with some outside the litter box pooping that hasn’t been easily resolved and she graciously cleaned up the messes and even left my apartment a little cleaner than she found it. Excellent service and communication!:)”
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets in their own homes for friends, family, and neighbors. As a pet owner myself—a Great Dane and a cat—I treat every animal like my own. I have plenty of flexibility and a lot of open availability in my schedule at the moment. I can make most any dates/times work. I’m available weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I offer gentle companionship, plenty of affection, and a calm presence, while also treating your home with care and respect so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I grew up surrounded by kittens and cats! My grandma and mom were crazy cat ladies lol. I have a Siamese cat named Mochi! I rescued him as a kitten. He was found in a trash can covered in fleas, worms, and could barely keep his eyes open from excessive mucus. I spent every 5 minutes cleaning his eyes, treated his fleas/worms, showed him love, and trained him. He’s now an indoor kitty and he will be loved for the rest of his life! He’s my little cuddle buddy💛 I’m a very empathetic, responsible, and active person! I’m available to play and always down for some cuddles from some fur babies :)
About: I have been an animal lover since I was little, and I've taken great care of many pets throughout the years. I have walked dogs, and have pet sat many furry friends.

About: Hi all! A bit about me, I've been around/owned pets my entire life, can't imagine a life without them. Currently am fostering 2 kittens and have a cat of my own!

I'm not open to caring for pets at my home currently as I have a cat, but i can do home drop ins and walks
“Wes was great! Followed all my requests, was on time, was courteous and took excellent care of my kitty. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care while away.”
“Malie was amazing with our siberian husky! She was great with communication and reached out with each drop in. Our husky has a lot of personality, and several medications. Malie made it simple, and took great care of her! Malie was great at respecting Koda's cues, playing when she wanted to play, but also giving Koda space when she wanted it. We will be booking again with Malie very soon.”

“Phillip is very communicative and flexible when it comes to scheduling pickup and dropping off. My puppy came back happy and tired(yay!). I will be booking again. Thanks Phillip!!!”
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
“This was Chuck’s 1st doggy care since I got him. Mickenzie was so wonderful and accommodating since I’m a wheelchair user. She also communicated as asked & sent pictures & a video. I will be a repeat customer. Thank you again Mickenzie ~ Chuck & his Mom”
“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”
“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
“Natalia is the right choice for a pet sitter. I’m so glad I found her. She did amazing with my dog. She’s friendly, professional, and reliable. Plus, she takes amazing photos! My dog came home each day happier than ever and was always excited to see her again. I could tell he was taken care of well. She also has a very clean house! I highly recommend Natalia.”
About: Hi! I have experience with all different types of animals. I have a 7 year old terrier mix that gets along with other dogs. I used to foster and took care of all types of dogs. I’m a nurse so I have experience with giving meds. When I go to work, my boyfriend is at home and your pet will not be alone. I work 3 days a week but my boyfriend works from home and is home all of the time. We can take your dog to the park and go on walks at least twice a day. We have a two bedroom house with plenty of space inside. We have a small outdoor space for your dog to sniff but we will go on daily walks with your dog.
“Riley really goes above and beyond for me and my new puppy Penny. I’m always grateful to her for keeping a watchful eye since Penny is a baby still exploring the world with her mouth and learning how to socialize with other dogs. Riley’s dogs are also really gentle and playful with her even though they are 1000x her size. Riley has also respected my wishes to make sure Penny gets proper rest time in her crate and gets mental stimulation with puzzles and kongs.”

About this sitter: It's tough to find the right person who has the same love for your dog as you do and has the personality that's understanding and the comforting experience in the veterinary field. All any dog lover could ask for. Right here~! As for a personal reference about me, I am 35 years young and have 15 years of animal care experience. I have my own car, own my house, and I work at a veterinary clinic and LOVE it. Vet Technician for 14 years. Dog boarding experience for 12+ years. Dog grooming experience for 1 year. Volunteered at multiple shelters. Why I love dog sitting When I was 5 years old my mom was taking a home video. I was telling her how when I was all grown up I was going to be a doggy doctor. Funny how childhood dreams play out. I am now steadily working in the Veterinary field. Meet my pets 3 Cats and 2 yr old malinois. About my yard Medium fenced yard! 5 ft chain-link fence.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs(my own) and others since I was 10. Recently adopted a 3 year old Malinois mix who is a sweetie and really good with other dogs. Since then I have interacted with a bunch of dogs and learned a lot. Our Malinois is trained and loves all types of dogs. We have taught her some tricks so maybe I can teach your dog some too 😎. I’m currently not working so your dog would be my primary job. I can take them to parks, on hikes or whatever requests are given I deeply respect every individual pet and their specific needs. Whether it’s taking them to the park or taking a nice stroll on the neighborhood so they have enough time to smell every plant, I take great care in every aspect of your pet’s stay/care with me. I live in an apartment, with plentiful grassy areas and park nearby, but also don’t mind going to a client’s house. At the end of the day, I care for every pet the same way I care for my own, with compassionate care and safety at the core.
“Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm. We are hoping to leave her for a longer time next time. I know Maizie is looking forward to seeing Candace-mom and her new big brother playmate, Wilbur again. She had a great time!”
“Our puppies had a great day with Emmersen while we visited nearby Silver Falls park. They were active all day and asleep almost before we were out of the driveway from pickup. Emmersen sent updates & pics throughout the day. Our puppies SO enjoyed the day & Emmersen did an amazing job! We will definitely connect with Emmersen again if we visit the area in the future.”
“Zuri is an exceptional sitter, I’m so thankful to found her, she’s always been sweet and kind to reply and take care of my big boy. I’m sure my puppy is always happy to be at her house. She takes some adorable pictures and videos and send it to me. An amazing sitter that I love!!”

“Kayla was fantastic with walking our dog Blue! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and Blue instantly bones with her! She is very friendly and even took cute photos and sent them to me during their walking adventure. I would highly recommend her services for anyone needing pet services. We will definitely use her again! ❤️”
“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kira was absolutely AMAZING! She walked my two dogs, Simon and Sophie, for five consecutive days, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Kira was warm, loving, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with both of them. Simon and Sophie absolutely fell in love with her, and it was clear that the feeling was mutual! ❤️🐾 There is something incredibly comforting about knowing your fur babies are in the hands of someone who treats them with the same love and care that you do. Kira went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the attention, affection, and kindness she showed my two little loves. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly loves animals, Kira is your person! Simon, Sophie, and I give her five stars and a million tail wags! We can’t wait to have her back! 🐶💕”
About: I’ve always had pets of my own as well as taking care of friends and families pets. I love my babies and will care for yours as if they were my own! I currently am working part time selling shoes and getting ready to move out on my own! I am available early mornings and afternoon/evenings depending on the day, but my availability is mostly open to squeeze you in! I can work to care for your pets, big or small, and work through their behaviors and routines to keep their living space the same as if they were cared for by you.
About: I am extremely detailed oriented and very observant. I sense when animals need something different and will always tend to their needs first over anything. I can chill with them or play forever and anything in between. I work 5-6 days a week with and average of 6 hours a day. My schedule is pretty set to only working mornings and being off work around 11am to 12:30pm. After that I am free and available! I am more than able to be in your home and you never question that I was there. I leave places cleaner than what I found them and make sure all the boxes were checked that are expected of me.
About: I started on Rover back in 2018 boarding dogs in my home! Now I'm available to do drop in visits for dogs and cats. I have a cat of my own named Peach who is 5 now. Dogs and cats tend to like me, which is a plus! I work at a bank full time but looking to make extra money in my free time. I'm mostly available evenings after work and weekends! I work Mon-Fri but I'm available in the evenings after 5:30 pm. I have open availability on weekends at the moment. I have a lot of experience watching dogs in the past, whether it be for friends/family or clients on Rover. Recently, I've been doing drop ins for cats and I really enjoy it! When it comes to taking care of your pet in your own home, I think it best to tell me what needs to be done during the visit. Where food/supplies are, if they need to be put in a kennel before I leave, what their habits are like and what to look out for if anything. Everyone has different rules when it comes to their animals and I will be 100% respectful of your home and property.
About: I have experience working in a veterinary clinic and I understand the need of exercise for dogs and how difficult it can be in our busy lives to give them what they need. I’m hoping to meet all kinds of pups and help pet parents! Walks can include other activities such as playing fetch, let me know your pets preference. I have pet sit previously in the past years for multiple pet parents I am open all days of the week and I am available to discuss scheduling further to compensate for any non-consistencies. I am interested in walking more than one dog. Pets will be supervised at all times, discussions of owner preferences (leashed at all times, other pet aggression, dog parks will not be visited, staying in the are of your home vs not). Car for transportation has a pet safe back seat with seat belt available!
About: We are a duo who help others with their pets! My name is Desiree, and my partner’s name is Tyler. We are adventurous! Often, we fill our free time with hikes, walks around cities, and exploring parks. We would love to take your dogs on these walks too! I grew up around animals—anything from rabbits, mice, cats, and dogs to some exotics like raccoons. As a kid, I would rehabilitate animals like deer or wild rabbits. I feel we need to look out for our little friends, as the world is hard for everyone. Being kind is important to me. I have experience with basic dog training, teaching good leash behavior, and giving extra care to older dogs! I'm comfortable with giving medicine, or going the extra mile to help upkeep their health, may it be brushing teeth, giving baths, or grooming. Our goal is to provide the best, and perfect routine for your pets while you're away that would match closely to what you would do in your daily life to assure max comfort for your animals. We currently go to school online, so we are very flexible with our time and since two of us are on duty, we can always give attention! We mainly care for them in your home, and this is very flexible to how you would want them cared for. We love to follow exact instructions, or approximate instructions. Whichever you want to provide. We want your trip away from home to be stress free, and confident your pet is getting treated with the utmost care and love.
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets in their own homes for friends, family, and neighbors. As a pet owner myself—a Great Dane and a cat—I treat every animal like my own. I have plenty of flexibility and a lot of open availability in my schedule at the moment. I can make most any dates/times work. I’m available weekdays and weekends.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout my life and have personally adopted 6 dogs, 5 rats, 1 cat, and even a chinchilla—each one bringing joy and unforgettable memories. Currently, I share my home with my sweet pup, Xena. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have strong knowledge of dog training, behavior, and wellness, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs or special quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or structured care, your dog will be in loving, capable hands with me. I currently work full time but I live very close to my work so I am home at lunch time to check on things and give a potty break. I have no long commute or traffic to worry about. On the weekends, I stay in the area or take pups out for hikes! Boarding: To introduce, your pup will have an entire room gated off with a baby gate to acclimate to the new environment. Then, your pup will be welcomed to explore the home.

About: I was born and raised on a ranch caring for many types of animals. I have extended my background from cows, horses and sheep to training, breeding and so much more with dogs. I am respectful, patient and have an overall love for every animal! I am currently a stay at home mom and looking for other work when I stumbled upon Rover. I love animals and am very excited at the chance to be around them more! I have a fenced yard and my own dog as well who gets along great with everyone. I have crates if needed and a park very close to run some energy out!
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 but began house sitting when I turned 16. I have experienced taking care of dogs, cats , horses and even chickens. while looking after your fur babies they will be given excellent care as if they were my own. A love to photograph animals so with my care come a free mini photoshoot. With your permission of course! My 4 year old black lab absolutely loves to play with others. So if your pup needs a buddy to burn off some energy she’s your pup . I work 3 pm to 11:30pm but I’m free the rest of the time to do pop in or walks. If I’m staying at your house I bring in my own food and drink. And stay with your fur baby the whole time. If I’m in home sitting I do a minimum of 3 30 min walks a day. 1 before work ,after work and before bed. And depending on your fur babies energy I’ll add in extra play time if needed. I’m stuck to strictly feeding schedules so whatever time you have them eat I’ll make sure to do they same. To help keep them in their normal routine. If I’m doing a drop in I can go walks /runs for about an hour unless you need me to take them for more time.

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.

“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“We love sending our dog to stay with Clay! His set up for dogs is amazing- multiple spaces for them to run and play. Clay is great about keeping us updated on our dog, as well as sending pictures, which we LOVE! Our dog has been to stay with Clay multiple times and we’ll keep sending him their way for our dog sitting needs.”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Jade is a rock star. I'm a serial repeat client. My dog Galen can't even be bothered to say goodbye to my husband and me when we drop him off because he's too focused on getting into Jade's house to play with his buddies. My 3 year old standard poodle has a lot of energy. At Jade's he gets to play fetch in her big backyard, wrestle or play chase with her dogs, and meet new dog friends as they come and go for boarding. Jade even took Galen on a car ride this time to look at Christmas lights! How wonderful is that!? I'm sad because I recently moved too far away to be able to have Galen stay with Jade much, if at all, and I'm worried about how I'm going to find another boarding situation even half as good as this one.”
“Our dog is old and requires medication and a very specific diet. Philly obliged and had no problem with the medication and dietary regimen. We received daily updates and photos and were very pleased with the communication. Will definitely book again.”
“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”
“Christina was helpful and very kind. I am grateful for the last minute ability to watch my baby. She was very reassuring during our meet and greet and her willingness to work with times for drop off and pick up. The house was warm and welcoming. I am thankful for the updates and photos to help with me being away. I did contact her first for an update but to be fair, it was early the next morning. Not sure I gave her enough time to update me first. Thank you for everything!”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast. Our pup loved being with her and her pitty. Highly recommend booking her!”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“My wife and I were very blessed to find Arturo. Arturo and his family provided a very safe and loving environment for our fur baby (Piper-Jazz). From the moment they greated us we (including Piper-Jazz) felt entirely at peace. Knowing our fur baby was in safe and loving hands during our 10 day trip helped my wife and I to relax and enjoy our time together—what a great gift. We highly recommend Arturo and we rate him and his home a 10 out of 10. I think Piper-Jazz actually misses Arturo and his family. 😊 💯”

Hopefully never needed, but I have access to emergency veterinary care if it was ever needed. I am currently working full time, however my schedule allows me to be home for the majority of the day.

“Mickenzie is wonderful. Good communication, responds in a timely manner. Her home is well kept and tidy and I appreciate the efforts she makes to keep germs from spreading as I have a young puppy. Would recommend her!”
“Tienne was a life saver! She took care of my puppy last minute and was even able to keep him later than I originally scheduled when an event ran over. He was happy and tired when I picked him up! I felt very at ease leaving him with her.”
