“Yuiko has watched my dog Jasper 3 times now, this last time being for three weeks and I feel so confident leaving him with her! She sends photos at least twice per day and it is easy to tell he is having a great time and being well cared for :) couldn’t be happier!”
“We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!”
“Opal and Ollie had a great boarding experience with Jennifer and her family. I’ve already rebooked with her for their next boarding. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Rebecca went above and beyond through the entire process. It was my first time using Rover and she exceeded my expectations. She is SO sweet and Sydney enjoyed her vacation with her. I will definitely be scheduling with her again.”
“We have used Mary multiple times and it’s been great! We get lots of updates and pictures and it’s clear she treats our pet with lots of love and attention. She’s a great pet sitter that I can’t recommend highly enough!”

“Mel was amazing with our pup! Yumi boarded overnight with her and her dog, they matched energies so well and had a great time together. Mel sent tons of pictures and kept us up to date on her eating habits since we have a pup with a sensitive tum. Would definitely recommend Mel and book again!”
“Daja took the best care of my dog while I was on vacation! She was very commutative and sent daily pictures. He was very well taken care of while I was gone!”

“Absolutely marvellous! Electra and Crescent were an absolute delight to meet, and they treated our peewees with such care. Our original plans were for just boarding our little dog (which they did armirably!), but we couldn’t find anyone to care for our cats, or to provide medication to one with diabetes. Wellsiree, they went above and beyond, and kept us up to date with daily updates in photo and video. Our little dog adored staying with them, she got lots of cuddles and lots of exercise! And our cats were so well looked after they were spoiled rotten. We can’t say enough great things about this wonderful couple. They’re our first choice for excellent care and attention of our peewees.”
“Maria was absolutely amazing taking care of Mac. She made sure he got enough exercise and playtime while also giving him space to wind down and relax. Mac ending up being on prescription diet during the boarding and Maria followed it perfectly! I was so thankful she was able to watch him and I will definitely be booking again. I also really appreciated the updates throughout the day about the various activities she did with Mac. Additionally, her dog Cookie was super playful with Mac despite the large difference in their size. Mac truly seemed like he was having a great time which brought me piece of mind for his stay.”
“Christina took great care of our pup! She sent cute pictures and kept us updated the whole time! He loved her and was very happy and relaxed with her. We’d definitely use her services again!”
“Christin was great with Santos! He seemed so happy to be there. It was apparent that she is a natural dog lover who appreciates different canine personalities.

Communication was great and I will not hesitate to use her again”

“Melanie was amazing!! I really appreciated that she asked lots of questions about my two boys because it gives me peace of mind that their doggy sitter will take the best care of them.

We had a change of plans at the end and Melanie was so helpful in accommodating us. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!”

“Brianna was wonderful. We had just moved into a new house, so the cats were a little more skittish than usual. Brianna was very flexible and accommodating with them, even feeding the one who didn’t want to leave the bedroom right there in the bedroom so she would eat. She really went above and beyond for us and the cats this week to make sure everyone (including we humans) was comfortable.”
“Andres was wonderful! He was punctual and provided great pictures of all our kitties! We have four and they all came up to him for pets! Highly recommend Andre’s to care for your pets! Thank you!”

“Jenna watched my cat for over a week while I was out of the country and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about her! She sent amazing pictures every single day including ones of meatball eating her food which was such a great peace of mind to know that she was in great hands and great care while I was so far away from home. Her communication was top-notch and she was responsive in an extremely fast manner to any messages that I sent!! by the end of the week, meatball even started climbing into her lap which she rarely does for new people so she really must have bonded with Jenna:) I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely be using her services here again!!”

“Not our first review, but highly recommend Emily!! She sat for us twice before and did a great job, so we had her make several visits during a longer vacation and she brought peace of mind as usual. She is a true cat lover which is exactly who you want checking in while you’re away!”
“Madeline was reliable, efficient, caring, and respectful. She cleaned dishes my cats used without me asking, clean us the unexpected messes the cats made, and provided updates with pictures throughout the process. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience”
“Super friendly and nonjudgemental about the fact that I haven’t been able to clean my litter often enough due to chronic pain. Went above and beyond by carrying more than just the litter trash out behind the back of the building to the dumpster.”

About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise. Your pets get complete free-roaming access in this room with no crates. Privacy with one family at a time to ensure a calm, stress-free environment for your pet with access to ring camera for boarding stays. We’ll ensure that your cats have a freshly clean litter box daily, interaction multiple hours a day, great window view for birdwatching and followed feeding routine. Your dogs will have plenty of time outside, I’m available and can provide multiple walks and engagement throughout the day, with comfortable indoor space for relaxation and eating routines. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry babies are safe and in a controlled space. We offer Ring camera access so you can check in anytime, plus daily text updates with photos and details about how their day went. When we visit your home, we’re extremely mindful of your pet’s normal routines. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime if they crave it, or respectful space if they prefer quiet time — always with their comfort and happiness as our top priority.

I have a crate for boarding if needed and plenty of blankets for cuddling. Snuggles are welcomed and encouraged so all furniture is free real estate as well.

I couldn’t ask for better service and I know my dog, Monty, can’t wait to play with her dogs again.”

Becky was incredibly responsive from the time I sent the initial request, to providing us updates throughout the day, showing attention to detail and our dog's schedule. This did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated! Definitely recommend using Becky!!”
