“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Natasha is utterly amazing. She has taken such good care of our cricket in good health and around two knee surgeries- needing specific attention to her movement and medications. Cricket gets the best care and becomes a member of their family while she's there. Natasha is always happy to keep me updated about how Cricket is doing as much or as little as I'd like. Whether I have to be away for vacation or some other reason, when Cricket is with Natasha and her family I know I don't need to worry about her. We will continue to work with Natasha and James for Cricket's care any time we need help or to be out of town.”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Ashley gets 5+ stars! Highly Recommend. Our pup was so calm when we came to get her; we could tell She got lots of attention and love. Ashley was super easy to work with.”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Jessica was AMAZING and so sweet. She was very responsive and flexible coming up with a time for a meet and greet. She sent the funniest pictures of our pup while we were away and he had a blast. Safe to say he came back spoiled. I will for sure be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“Krista was a wonderful dogsitter. She provided great updates and pictures and was very patient when my dog was fussy about taking her medication. I feel good about her care and will probably have her dogsit in the future.”
“My dog has separation anxiety and I was nervous about leaving her with someone who was not my family member. Sharon was amazing! My dog seemed comfortable, she sent frequent updates, and when I came to pick up my dog she seemed at ease and to be having a great time. I will definitely use Sharon in the future and recommend her!”
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“Laura made Willow feel right at home from the start! And Laura made us feel comfortable right from the start with all of the photos/texts she shared. Couldn't have been happier with Willow's care.”
“Carol and her whole crew of pups are wonderful! She took to my two pups like they were her own! We could relax on our vacation knowing they were in the best hands. Thank you!!”
“Adrienne is a true dog lover. She was sweet and patient with my large (and overdue for a bath) Golden, and sent pictures and a video! It was so helpful to put us at ease. He was calm and happy when we picked him up. ”
“Emily and Patrick are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of my girl Bunny. When my trip was unexpectedly extended due to a flight cancellation, they were so flexible and accommodating. Throughout the weekend they kept me updated with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be more grateful — thank you both so much!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats. I can’t walk past a dog on the street without asking politely to pet them! Two years ago I rescued my dog, Stanley, who is a 24 lb terrier mix. He was abused and took a very long time to warm up, but after a lot of patience and love he’s now thriving and the best boy. I learned a lot with Stanley and feel equipped to work with shyer dogs. Stanley also likes hanging out with other dogs and would enjoy some company around the house! I currently work from home full time, so my availability is flexible. Stanley and I would be happy to have you hang out with us at my place (I’d recommend a meet and greet first). Or, I could stay at your place with your pet if that’s better for them, as long as I can have access to the WiFi so I can work. I live close to a nature trail that I take Stanley on daily, and we’re very familiar with the neighborhood. I can take frequent walk breaks and crate your pet if needed.

“Did a great job with our cats. No issues. Very responsible and responsive. Highly recommend!! First time using a sitter and we were worried but immediately at ease after meeting her. Thanks!”
“Sarah was incredible. Our cat is a little shy and dumb and Sarah got her to come out and even got some cuddles (with a little convincing with treats of course). It was great to know that our cat was getting some love while we are out of town!😁”
About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.
“Brandon has taken awesome care of our two cats!!! We absolutely recommend him!! Our cats are pretty shy but Brandon managed to win them over :). He was always on time and thoroughly documented every visit, including pictures. Thank you so much Brandon!!”
“Tiffany is awesome! She did drop-in visits with our cat Marshall while my husband and I went out of town for a trip. He warmed up to her right away. She is very communicative and super quick to respond. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be re-booking in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs all my life, and I have lots of experience with big breeds as I’ve owned three Newfoundlands and a Leonberger. I also have some experience with elderly dogs. I have assisted in training all the dogs I’ve owned, and most importantly, I love all animals! I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’ve gotten plenty of time to spend time with your doggy. I’m less available early in the day (6–9AM), but from 9AM onward I’m at the disposal of your puppy. :) I’m quite good with crate training, as well as dogs that are a bit more stubborn. I am comfortable staying with them as long or as short as needed. I also have a lot of experience walking dogs that require prong collars or harnesses.
“Carly did a great job taking care of our cat. She also took care several small critters including geckos, a bearded dragon and fish. We scheduled her for a last-minute trip and appreciated her willingness to fit us in and follow the minimal instructions that we provided to care for everything.I highly recommend her.”
“Amanda has cared for my cat several times while I was out of town. She is my go-to sitter. Very responsible, reliable, and communicative. I miss my cat when I’m away, but I know that he is well cared for.”
“Your cats have never been well taken care of until they’ve been taken care of by Katlyn. Katlyn is an absolutely amazing sitter. we’ve booked her four or five times now and will continue to do so. Our cat was a bit sick once and she did an incredible job administering his medicine. Quite frankly, she did it much better than we do. She goes above and beyond and will even grab our mail for us and tidy up the cat toys before we return home. I can be anxious when I’m away from my cats, but I don’t feel that when Katlyn is watching them . Do your cats a favor and book katlyn for your next trip out of town.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, but my appreciation for cats really grew during college when many of my friends had cats of their own. Spending time around so many different personalities made me love how unique, playful, and comforting cats can be. I’ve cat sat for friends throughout college as well as family friends during high school, helping with feeding, playtime, litter box care, and making sure their cats felt comfortable and cared for while they were away. My family also had a cat when I was very little, and now I'll have a black cat of my own who I absolutely adore. I understand that every cat has a different personality — some are social and affectionate, while others are more shy and independent — and I always make sure to respect their space and routine. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“April is the BEST and my two boys absolutely love her. She takes time with the animals and gets to know their personalities. I fully trust her with my pets and my home. I have rebooked her several times and will continue to use her going forward.”
“My first experience with rover and I am over the moon. Rebecca is a wonderful pet sitter who took great care of my kitties while I was gone. I cannot thank her enough!!”
“Diana was the perfect pet sitter and house guest. She completed all of our requests for our pets and so much more. Our very active cats had a fun filled day everyday and they received new toys and treats! We loved seeing the many updates and pictures of our fur babies. Diana was a great communicator from the time we requested the booking and on. She left our house in clean and good order. We will look forward to hiring her again and again. We know we’ll have stress free trips when it comes to the care of our pets.”
“This was my first booking with Heather and she exceeded all of my expectations. She communicated clearly and gave me peace of mind while I was away. And went above and beyond in preparing the house for my return. And, I returned to a happy kitty. I will definitely book with Heather again.”
About: Both my grandmother and brother have cats, so I’ve grown up understanding and appreciating what it takes to care for them—ensuring their enrichment, exercise, proper nutrition, and happiness. I also had the amazing opportunity to attend zoo camp, where I learned valuable skills in animal care and behavior. This experience deepened my knowledge of how to create engaging environments for pets, tailored to their needs. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and genuinely enjoy going the extra mile for animals, whether that means administering medications with care or making sure the litter box is spotless. I believe every pet deserves a happy and healthy experience, and I’m committed to providing just that!

“We are so happy to have found such a great companion for our senior dog Meela. Tyler agreed to watch Meela last minute and kept us informed the entire time. Our elder girl simply likes to hang out with humans, and eat treats in her retirement age. It’s hard to find sitters that won’t leave leave her alone due to her high anxiety. All she needed was a friend, and we are glad to have found one in Tyler.”
“Juniper had the best day with Adrienne and her pupper. I felt very secure leaving my furchild with her and appreciated all the photos and videos.”
About: I am the current owner of an 10 week old Rough Collie and a two year old Dalmatian Lab mix. Our fur babies are just as important as our human one! My family also has solid experience with senior pets. I have had many and varied pets over the years: cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, birds and have loved them all! I will love your baby just like my very own! Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to care for your non human babies! I look forward to meeting each and every one! If you talk with any of my family and friends they know how crazy I am about my fur babies and your fur babies will too! I look forward to meet you in person! Sincerely, I am a full time stay at home caregiver for my dad who is partially paralyzed. I am able to always be available to your pets in my home. I am able to let your dogs run free in my fenced-in and private back yard and I can walk them daily or more around my pet friendly neighborhood.

“My puppy had a great experience at doggy daycare with Maria and Tony. The communication was great throughout the day and I felt confident Samson was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”
“Maureen & her family were so wonderful! It was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they exceeded any expectations! They were so friendly and really accommodating at the last minute. They made my dog Bear feel right at home, and you can tell they are passionate dog people so they’ll make you and your pup feel comfortable too! Maureen sent me pictures throughout the day, took Bear for walks, and gave him so much love. I’ll definitely use them again in the future when something comes up and I need a sitter!”
About: I've been a pet owner since I was two years old and played a major role in taking care of my family dogs and guinea pig! I've had my own dog, a cattle dog mix, for the last 5+ years. I've educated myself on training techniques and skills for stimulating dogs physically and mentally in order to keep up with her! I have experience looking after friends' and families' cats and dogs, and I'm a self-appointed playground monitor at my local dog park. I'm excited to meet your furry family member and give them some love and care while you're away. I'm currently applying for engineering / academic jobs after earning my degree, so other than caring for my own dog, my days are wide open. I have a fenced-in backyard and a playful dog who is great with dogs of all sizes. I've got food puzzles, Bully Make and Benebone chew toys, and a ChuckIt tennis ball thrower. My dog is crate-trained so I'm happy to follow your lead on your pets' needs.
“Laura was wonderful with our puppy! She was super communicative and provided a clean, warm, and safe space for our dog for the day. Our young puppy was well supervised, had plenty of bathroom breaks, opportunities for rest and exercise, and lots of great enrichment thanks to Laura's unique household set-up. I feel very fortunate to have found Laura as a great option to send my dog and have already booked several more dates.”
“Sophie was fantastic and Eva seemed happy when I went to pick her up. I would be very comfortable leaving Eva in Sophie's care again if needed. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet girl!”
“Millie stayed with Greg a few time days now. Some were full days some were half days! He was great about sending pics and taking care of Millie. They did 2 walks every time. He was very accommodating with my hours of need. I would highly recommend him.”
“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
“Brought Larkin to Joe's for his first doggy daycare. Joe sent pics throughout the day which was awesome and Larkin came home tired. Great place to leave your dog for the day and feel comfortable that he's ok.”
“Christy is great! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and double checked instructions on care for my dog. My dog came back so happy and tired after her day with Christy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lucas and his family are super friendly! Nova was exhausted from her day of fun. They have a huge backyard that is fenced, allowing her to run around safely. Definitely would recommend Lucas for daycare :)”
“Carol has been very responsive and has taken in our girl Georgie. Georgie is a little timid and backwards at first, but Carol made her feel right at home. Georgie took to her welcoming, home environment and settled right in. She gets along great with the other babies being baby/dog sat, and Carol is very good with her. We will be using Carol in 2025!”
“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve owned, trained, and taken care of dogs for 26 years. I’ve had a Dachshund, Beagles, Rottweiler, and have fostered - and trained - a German Shepard, two Pit bulls, Husky, and currently a Penkingese. The German Shepard came to me from a friend who was rescuing him but couldn’t train him properly so I spent almost 2 months with him - trained him how to walk properly on a leash, stop nipping, and to become a follower rather then a pack leader. I then returned him to my friend (who I can give contact info so you can ask directly) who still has him to this day. My Rottweiler was the first dog that I had living on my own and within a month she was potty and crate trained, I trained her to walk properly OFF the leash, and even trained her to only sit in one specific spot in the car (passenger side backseat). She unfortunately passed away before my kids were born and it wasn’t fair to adopt dogs with the zero free time babies give you. My kids are now older and since I work from home, I’m excited to have dogs back around. Everyone (including dogs) that enters my home is treated like family. I’m a very hands on parent and that translates to all levels of care - whether it’s a pet or kid. I personally walk twice a day (typically by myself) so your dogs will be engaged and exercised. If you have any questions, feel free to ask - I’m very big on transparency. I work full time from home but own my own business. Due to this, I don’t have a fixed schedule or designated breaks or lunches, I can start and stop whenever I want or need to. Your dogs will never be interrupting or waiting on me for whatever they might need. I have a home with a good sized yard. Since I’m home 99.9% of the time, there really is no need to crate (unless for whatever reason you require that for sleeping or some other situation). They can sleep with me and sit on furniture (again unless you don’t want that due to the rules in your home and those rules will be followed and respected here). I’m home throughout the entire day as I work from home. He/she will be engaged & never alone while here. We also have a young dog who is sweet with all. We have long leashes and a fairly private yard, are frequently outside and would never leave them unattended. We treat all those who enter just as family.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve also had the privilege of working at a doggy daycare/boarding business for several summers, where I absolutely loved caring for clients’ pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. If you have concerns about a senior dog, don’t worry—I’m very comfortable following specific schedules, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime or a calm, gentle companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!!! I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m typically available Monday through Friday at any time, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and needs. While I prefer weekdays, I may be able to help on weekends with advance notice I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, or any specific care your pet needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I keep a clean and secure environment, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly handled. During walks, I stay alert and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet protected.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.
“Diana has been great with our dog. It is obvious that she cares deeply about animals. She even carried Zora home when it was too cold for her paws! What more could I ask for?”
“Carly is extra special. I will never have any fear or doubt in leaving my fur babies in her care. I had detailed after visit notes and pictures. My boys were well taken care of. Will definitely be scheduling Carly again!!”
“Cannot thank Tiffany enough for her flexibility and thoroughness when walking Turtle! She is a great communicator, and shares detailed info about their walks! It's a weight off my shoulders on busy days, and I can always count on Turtle to have a great time when he walks with Tiffany!”
“Bryce did a great job taking care of Niko on his morning walks while I was out of town. He was reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with pictures and texts, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely book with him again.”
About: Im a proud veterinary technician of 5 years now and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way! I have the capabilities to take care of puppies/kittens, seniors, or any pet with medical conditions or special requirements. I work full time but I am able to work with what ever schedule you need for the most part. I am off 3 days a week with time for walks and drops ins after work. I’m comfortable adapting to your home and your pets needs. Many animals experience anxiety when you leave so play time and cuddles are crucial !
About: In addition to providing loving, attentive care in my home, I can provide the same care inside your home. Whether your pet needs routine, play, structure, or snuggles, you can trust they’re in capable, compassionate hands! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, around-the-clock care in a comfortable home setting. Your pet will never be left alone for long.

In my home, your pet will enjoy a relaxed environment with plenty of enrichment. I have a friendly golden retriever and a few sweet, well-socialized cats who love meeting new friends. I also have an eight daughter who loves all animals. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m also able to crate them upon request. My yard is a great bonus—it’s a nice size and includes a secure run where dogs can safely stretch their legs and play. Inside, I have plenty of pet toys and soft spots for lounging, so your pet can enjoy both stimulation and rest throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions, administer medications, and offer companionship throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.
About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!
About: I have had three younger siblings with also having three different sized dogs as I grew up at the same time as I would babysit them, and it was harder to watch my siblings than the dogs lol. I currently have a 6:30-3:30 am job in McKees Rocks and only 25 minutes from home in Oakmont! I love dogs and have had all sizes of dogs throughout my life! I’m looking for the dog companionship and something else to do on my nights and weekend off that are filled with loving pets! I would love to have my own dog but my building is a little strict with sizing on Pets, so this is the best I can do for now! I would care for them by their rules and perhaps a itemized schedule and or list of things they love to do, things to avoid and also make sure to be around the dog constantly and give numerous amounts of attention and care while away from their owners
About: Having grown up with several dogs, I've developed a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of their needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience looking after and walking other people's dogs and pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I've always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time outdoors, making dog walking the perfect way for me to combine both passions. I am dependable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every dog receives the exercise, care, and affection they deserve. As a recent college graduate, I have full availability this summer before starting my first teaching position in the fall, making me a reliable and flexible option for your pet care needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine when caring for them in and out of a client's home. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, and any specific preferences or restrictions. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I strive to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. During walks, I ensure dogs are safely leashed, hydrated when needed, and given appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and individual needs.
“We did recurring, multiple times per week, walks with Zoe for a months-long period. She was very communicative, responding promptly to messages when we had changes in our schedule. She wrote detailed, thoughtful descriptions of the walks and always let us know if she brought in a package, refilled our dog's water bowl, gave him a treat, or other similar updates. We would absolutely recommend Zoe!”
About: I love walking, playing, & watching all sorts of dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house since I was a little girl. Dogs are my best friends! I currently work as a nurse so my schedule moves around a bit. Typically I am only working about 3 days a week! Any of my 4 days off I can be available! My home is friendly & welcoming to all different dogs. I do have a fenced in yard, & a dog who gets along great with others!
About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
About: Hello! My name is Audrey Badeer and I am junior at the University of Alabama! I have been an animal person my whole life and brought my horse with me to college to continue my competitive equestrian career. In the summer of 2022 I worked at a dog grooming salon where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds.

My availability for bookings is marked on my calendar. A few days notice is preferred but not required. I am responsible, independent, and have a big heart for animals. I am always gentle and kind to your fur babies. I will never put your pet in a dangerous situation and will always contact the owner if there is ever a problem.
“Heather does an amazing job with my 2 pups!! She makes sure they have on their coats or harnesses depending on the cold temps. My pups enjoy the long walks with her and being able to sniff at their own pace!! The pups get so excited to see her! Definitely would recommend Heather to take care of your pets!!”
About: Located in Bloomfield / Shadyside — I’ve had over 10 cats in my life (many of whom lived to 18+!) as well as 2 dogs. I’ve pet-sat for all kinds of dogs, cats, and fish for neighbors and friends. Feel free to reach out and I can drop by to feed and play with the cat, take the dog for a walk, whatever you need! Have taken care of both old and young pets. Currently have a flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can see what works ! I have a car which gives me even more flexibility. I’m diligent in following instructions and always keeping an eye on potential hazards or escape routes for your beloved pet. I’m a quick communicator and won’t hesitate to ask any questions !
“Great communication, punctual, sweet with my dog, productive walks (poop & pee everytime!) and provides good updates ! And helps with last minute bookings when she can. Big fan of Abigayle!”

“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Natasha is utterly amazing. She has taken such good care of our cricket in good health and around two knee surgeries- needing specific attention to her movement and medications. Cricket gets the best care and becomes a member of their family while she's there. Natasha is always happy to keep me updated about how Cricket is doing as much or as little as I'd like. Whether I have to be away for vacation or some other reason, when Cricket is with Natasha and her family I know I don't need to worry about her. We will continue to work with Natasha and James for Cricket's care any time we need help or to be out of town.”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Ashley gets 5+ stars! Highly Recommend. Our pup was so calm when we came to get her; we could tell She got lots of attention and love. Ashley was super easy to work with.”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“Krista was a wonderful dogsitter. She provided great updates and pictures and was very patient when my dog was fussy about taking her medication. I feel good about her care and will probably have her dogsit in the future.”
“Laura made Willow feel right at home from the start! And Laura made us feel comfortable right from the start with all of the photos/texts she shared. Couldn't have been happier with Willow's care.”
“Adrienne is a true dog lover. She was sweet and patient with my large (and overdue for a bath) Golden, and sent pictures and a video! It was so helpful to put us at ease. He was calm and happy when we picked him up. ”
“Emily and Patrick are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of my girl Bunny. When my trip was unexpectedly extended due to a flight cancellation, they were so flexible and accommodating. Throughout the weekend they kept me updated with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be more grateful — thank you both so much!”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“My dog loves Adam and he takes such good care of her for every stay. He always makes sure she gets plenty of exercise and is great about adapting to her needs. He’s easy to communicate with. Would use his services again!”
“When we had to go out of town for a family emergency we are so grateful that we found Mary and her family to watch our dog for a long weekend. Dutches was cared for extremely well and we received updates and pictures throughout. Mary and her family went out of there way to treat Dutches like one of their own. I highly recommend Mary and we will be reaching out to her for our dog boarding needs in the future!”
“We recently needed to find a new sitter for our dogs for the first time in a couple of years so we were a little anxious about how they would handle a new place. They had a great first stay with Ellyn! She sent pictures/updates every day and we could tell that they were comfortable and well cared for. They were happy and tired from their adventures when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ellyn again and would highly recommend her!”
“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and genuinely dog loving sitter, book Andrew without hesitation. It was clear Andrew gave Arlo tons of love, attention, and exercise, and he came home tired in the best way possible.”
