“Our dog Tucker is initially shy around new people and other dogs but Tiffany was able to really make him feel at home during his stay with her. Her enclosed backyard gave Tucker plenty of privacy to settle in and explore his new surroundings. She updated us with pictures and it was very clear early on that Tucker was settling in just fine with her other dog and family. We will definitely be using Tiffany again for our dog.”
“Reshma was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my boy with someone and she made it an absolutely wonderful, stress free experience. She went above and beyond giving him extra care when he was having anxiety and sending us daily pictures and updates. I truly could not be happier with how well cared for and loved he was with her. He loved her so much that he almost didn't want to leave! I could not be more thankful and as long as Reshma is doing this I will never board him with anyone else!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Chip. She kept me posted on how she was doing and sent pictures of Chip racing around her large fenced-in back yard. I will definitely be using Amanda again.”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“We’ve used Chonlada and family for two separate weeks this summer to watch our Frenchie. Our dog Gus is so well taken care of and has such a fun time with her dog. Chonlada is very responsive/communicative and caring. Absolutely recommend and we will be booking with her and her family again in the future!”
“Tristan and his family did a great job caring for our dogs while we were away. He sent updates with pictures each day, which was nice to see while we were away. They seemed to have a really great time and we would love to have them stay with Tristan for future trips.”
“Deb was wonderful with our Bernedoodle, Crosby. He seemed very happy and comfortable in her home and she seemed to love him back. We felt very happy to leave him in her good hands. She kept us updated with pics and videos while we were away which made it even better!”
“We are lucky our pup wanted to come home with us after staying with Sam & her family! It’s so comforting to have such true dog lovers look after your crazy family member in your absence. Thanks again, Sam.. our girl snored so loud last night!”
“We are so thankful to have found Alexa to watch our lab, Bailey! She was very quick to respond to messages. She has a great backyard for the dogs to play. She sent lots of pictures and messages to update us on how Bailey was doing. We would definitely use her again!”
“I absolutely loved Johanny’s service! I always feel confident that my dog is in great hands with her and her family. They treat her with so much love and care, and it truly gives me peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Missy is the best! I averaged about four photos every morning and then again later in the day that she sent to me. My very active Boston terrier had an absolute blast! Thank you, thank you thank you!”
“As always, Hollie was terrific- she took Daisy’s unexpected UTI in stride and administered the meds we had shipped to her. She is a loving caretaker and our dog is happy and comfortable with her.”
“Jennifer was so understanding, kind, and compassionate with my anxious senior dog. I used her for an overnight visit and my quickly felt comfortable at her home. I highly recommend her and hope to use her services again!”
“We never leave our dog with anyone but family. Since all our family needed to be at our wedding we needed someone to watch Carl. Jim’s property is perfect for animals. Jim treated him like family. He was even allowed on the couch! Jim sent us pictures to show how Carl was relaxing. We recommend using Jim.”

“From the first meet and greet Amanda was the sweetest! I knew I could trust her with our home and kitties. Her report cards were very detailed and pictures were much appreciated.

She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”
About: I've basically been owned by cats my entire life. I grew up with them, have shared my home with them throughout my adult life, and have happily accepted that I exist primarily to serve their every whim. These days, my household is run by three feline bosses: Ellie, my sweet 9-year-old, and two mischievous 1-year-old brothers, Merlin and Gandalf. They keep me well-trained in everything from playtime and enrichment to respecting the sacred afternoon nap schedule. When I was 16, our family cat surprised us with a litter of kittens, and I helped my mom raise them from tiny, wobbly fluff balls into healthy, playful cats. I was also a foster, so I'm comfortable caring for kittens that need a little extra patience and attention. I've volunteered with a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) rescue, where I cared for community cats and learned how to earn the trust of shy, scared, and feral cats. I've also had the privilege of caring for senior cats, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and routine they often need as they age. Whether your cat is a zoomie-powered chaos goblin, a dignified senior, or a professional hider who pretends I don't exist until dinner is served, I'll meet them where they are. I'm happy to scoop litter boxes, clean up the occasional "gift," refresh food and water, play, cuddle (if approved by the feline overlord), and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Every cat deserves to feel safe, respected, and cared for—even when their favorite humans are on vacation. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family members.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for myself and my pets with Jennifer. My dog who can be a bit shy really warmed up to her which is huge! Jennifer’s communication and overall positivity, care, and friendliness is so appreciated and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets from the age of 5 and have been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets as my own. I would love to meet your furry friend and give you peace of mind that they will be well cared for while you are away. Jake loves to play with other dogs his size and they always have a good time running and playing together. He is indifferent to cats and I would love a fur ball to sit in my lap. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and other pets. I will work with you to give your pet the things they are familiar with at home. Look for lots of photos and videos of your pet having fun while they are with me! I work full time but I am home throughout the day so that they are only alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. We love to walk and visit the dog park in our spare time I have no commitments outside of work and can provide companionship and playtime with your family member and my Jake. I am more than happy to accommodate any needs your furry friend has and the schedule he or she needs.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! I work a full time job 3:30 to midnight so my hours of availability are mornings until 2PM and I have off on weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your pups on those days. I take the time to double check with pet parents booking with me to see if my schedule works for them so I can make sure I am the best fit for you and your pets! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.
“Audrey took great care for our 3 cats with detailed updates, pictures and kindness. She was courteous and prompt with her responses. This was my first experience with hiring someone I do not know and Audrey gave me confidence that all would be well. I would for sure invite her to care for my pets again and recommend her!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, plenty of playtime (if they enjoy it), and lots of affection on their terms. I’m also happy to administer basic medications, follow special feeding schedules, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your feline family member is in good hands. My goal is to care for your cat the same way I care for my own two cats with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable in your home, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care.
“Thank you for taking care of Murphy! I am so happy to have found someone reliable and trustworthy to care for him. You did a fabulous job and I will be booking with you in future. Thanks, Tina!”
“Susan is a fantastic cat sitter. Our cat felt comfortable and cared for. She spent time with him ensuring he ate, exercised and received scratches and pets. Susan submits daily updates and photos providing the pet owner with reassurance that their pet is doing well. We're so appreciate of Susan.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have dog sat for neighbors, friends, family members, and more. I have never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm sure your precious pup or kitt will be the same. I am currently a college student. I am free during breaks throughout the school year and the summer! I can slide myself into your furry friend's routine and your vacation plans. Just give me the details. I love to take dogs for walks, play with them and spend time loving them. I will follow their routine because I know how much they will miss you and will keep things as normal for them as possible.
About: Hi! We are a family of 5 (mom, dad, and 3 girls whose ages are 16, 18, and 20) who love animals, being outdoors, and hanging out together. We are home almost every day because we homeschool. We are always walking and riding bikes around our neighborhood and love to go hiking, and also enjoy a nice evening relaxing by our fire and curling up with a good book. We offer a lower price because we know pet care can get expensive fast! We are always looking for ways to serve the community and this is one of the ways we can do it. The love and attention your pet will receive from my family is priceless! I've had a dog all my growing up life at home. We owned probably 5 different dogs and loved them all. Now my girls love dogs and thoroughly enjoy romping in the backyard. We homeschool and I work from home, so lots of attention will be lavished on your pet. My girls will always make sure your pet is comfortable! We always love to send photos! We know it eases our minds when we are away to see pictures of our dogs, so we send regular updates to you! We have a large yard with a section fenced off for quick potty breaks.

“Nan and family did a wonderful job looking after our dog Phineas. He stayed with them for daycare on two consecutive days. The home with two other dogs helped him to fit right into the family.”
“Tucker had an amazing Day. Caleb and Julie are truly great people. Their property is fantastic for any dogs that need to stretch their legs. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jim was great with our dog! She has anxiety and abandonment issues and she felt right at home and relaxed with Jim. He sent us pictures of her without even being asked for them and is incredibly responsive. Recommend Jim for a day care and look forward to our first boarding experience in the near future.”
“Mia was a good sitter for my little Luna . We will definitely consider leaving her with Mia . She kept us informed the whole time we were away for vacation. She sent me pictures. Thank you Mia for taking care of our baby girl.”
About: While I only board small dogs, I have cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. I enjoy caring for, cuddling with and playing with dogs in my home and fenced in backyard. While in my care, your dog's safety and well-being is my priority. Your pet will have lots of play time in my backyard. I am available to provide specific dietary and care needs. I will do my best to make your fur baby feel "at home". I look forward to meeting them. Feel free to drop them off with a favorite blanket, toy, snack, or bed. As a stay at home mom and dog owner, I am available to provide plenty of outside time, meet specific requests and attend your dog's needs. While outside, your dog will be free to roam my fenced in yard. While indoors, your dog will be free to get cozy on the couch.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. Everything from turtles, fish, hamsters, to cats and dogs. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a 5.5 and 3 year old. All of us love animals, especially dogs. We would be honored to care for your fur babies while you are away! I’m a stay at home mom and my husband works from home. Between the two of us, someone is usually here. Sometimes I have errands to run but I’m not ever gone more than 2-3 hours max. I do not have a fenced in yard but am happy to walk your dog as often as needed. We have a very dog friendly neighborhood and it’s quiet. We are open to using a crate or don’t have to- whatever is the owners preference.
“Jean took great care of our energetic puppy George. She made sure he had active time as well as calm time to relax and nap. She was very accommodating of George's quirks (ie how he likes to put everything in his mouth still) and kept a close eye on him to keep him safe. We will definitely use Jean again when we need a break!”
“michael had great communication with me all day! was super understanding of behavior issues with my dog as she was out of daycare for a while and her behavior as a rescue dog. will absolutely continue services with them in the future”
“Emily is great with the pups. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away. I am so happy to have found her through Rover! Thanks.”
About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.
“We highly recommend Mollie! She took such good care of our puppy while we were out for the day. He made new friends and got lots of play time and attention. Mollie sent pictures and messages to keep us updated. We look forward to his next visit.”
“Liceth was able to watch Milo last minute for Doggy Day Care and he loved it! She sent videos of him playing, and he was nice and tired when I picked him up after 12 hours. Happy Milo means happy dog mom!”
“OMG, Jeanne is sooo amazing!!! Always there when I need her... my PayPay loves to hang with her and her husband!!!! That alone, says a lot to me.... because he’s picky with the friends he chooses.... whether it’s take care while I’m at work or a week or two while I’m away… I’m never concerned bringing my little guy to them...”
About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my deep and varied pet care experience, fueled by genuine love and mirroring the dedicated care I provide my own furry family. Beyond standard sitting, I offer an understanding of canine behavior and individual needs through hands-on dog training, certified pet therapy volunteering, shelter and rescue assistance and fostering dogs of all ages and backgrounds. This comprehensive experience allows me to provide specialized care, especially for puppies and senior dogs. My commitment goes beyond simply supervising dogs. I strive to create a comfortable, enriching and safe environment where your dog is family, receiving the individualized attention and understanding they deserve. Pet care is deeply integrated into my daily life; it's my full-time dedication. Daily Routine: Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM): My day often begins with my own pets. This includes: Feeding: Ensuring everyone gets their appropriate breakfast, fresh water and medications Potty Breaks: Taking them outside for their morning elimination. Exercise/Playtime: A walk in the yard, a quick game of fetch, to get their energy levels up. Health Checks: A quick visual assessment to ensure everyone is looking and acting healthy. Mid-Morning/Afternoon (Variable): This is often when I schedule client visits or depending on the day, this might involve: running errands Boarding Care: For dogs staying with me, this includes regular potty breaks, supervised playtime in my yard (often integrated with my own dogs if appropriate and safe), and individual attention. Evening (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM): This mirrors the morning routine for my own pets: Feeding: Dinner time for everyone. Potty Breaks: Evening elimination walks. Relaxation/Affection Time: Cuddling on the couch, gentle petting or quiet playtime. Preparing for the Night: Ensuring fresh water and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

“My very high-energy puppy had an absolute blast playing with dog friends and splashing in the water all day! Very grateful that she was enjoying her day while I was at work!”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.
“Sarah was able to take my dogs on short notice and she was very communicative and also just a very nice person. I would definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a safe and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I have had pets all my life, and I truly love caring for and looking after them because being around animals brings me happiness, comfort, and a strong sense of joy every day.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up with three wonderful dogs throughout my childhood, each teaching me something different about love, patience, and companionship. One of them was even a future seeing-eye dog. Although we only had him for about a year before he went on to begin his important work, it was incredibly rewarding to be part of his journey and to help prepare him for the life-changing role he would have. When my husband and I bought our first home, one of the very first things we did was adopt the sweetest girl named Kora. She filled our home with joy, laughter, muddy paw prints, and unconditional love for ten unforgettable years. Saying goodbye to her was one of the hardest things we've ever done, but I wouldn't trade a single moment we had together. Because of these experiences, I know that dogs aren't "just pets"—they're family. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I'd want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy until you're back home. Beginning August 1st, my scheduled will be wide open. I have been working as a Licensed Massage Therapist for the past 11 years...and for 6 of those years I have owned my own business. I have recently decided to retire and close my business. I feel that pet sitting is the perfect mix of flexibility while also scratching the itch to spend all my time with fluff balls. I am looking forward to taking your dog on their walks, playing fetch in the backyard, or cuddling on the couch with them. I also love to spend time with you cats, rabbits, rats, hermit crabs...you get the idea!
About: I am the ultimate pet lover! I grew up with fish, a hamster, a rabbit, and dogs. In 2008, I adopted 3 puppies of my parents’ dog. They were my kids and my pride and joy! My last pup passed away in January 2024, 2 months shy of his 16th birthday. Since then, I’ve been helping to take care of family pets and am excited to offer walking, feeding, and sitting services for others in the community. I am focusing on finishing my last year as a doctoral student. I’m also an expert at time management! I am available almost everyday of the week. I am detail-oriented, caring, trustworthy, customer service-oriented, and I love animals! I don’t have any direct experience caring for cats, but I have been around them enough to be comfortable with them. I promise to take care of others’ pets like they’re my own.
About: Hello my name is Heather and I am an animal lover! I have years of experience walking dogs and pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors! I have two cats of my own and love spending time with furry friends. Your babies will be safe and happy with me! I am currently working full time but my work schedule is very flexible! I am looking for some weekday walks/ drop ins as well as weekend walks! I prefer to care for clients pets in their homes due to my two cats and very small apartment. I find this keeps all animals much calmer and less stressed!
About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I've taken care of two dogs. I helped my parents with training our dogs and have also helped with a senior dog I am a recent college graduate just looking to take care of some pups! My schedule is very open and I am very flexible! Would love to get repeat clients! I have grown up around dogs and I adore them. I have a lot of experience with them and love working with them.

About: Woof!!, Hello in dog language :) I don't currently own a dog but have had dogs in the past. I have 3 cats and if your dog does not like cats, they are perfectly fine hanging out in the basement during your dog's stay. This is my 7th year pet sitting. I am very reliable and have pet sat for my neighbors, friends and family's pets. I volunteered for a pet shelter for six months cleaning cages and walking dogs. Sitting for your dog will allow me to get a pooch-fix and send them home, kinda like grandkids LOL.... Thank you for reading my profile. Hope to see you and Fido soon! I currently work out of the home part-time, leaving at 6am returning by 9am. I am Home till 1pm and returning at 4. Thank you! I have a fenced yard for the pets to run and play in. I have a large dog crate if that is what your dog uses, they are welcome to use mine.
“Courtney is extremely personable and down to earth. Our dog, Chase, took to her so well on their first walk. He didn’t hesitate going out the door with her. She is comfortable around small Chase and he senses that. She is even teaching him to be calmer when another dog is in their vicinity. I would not hesitate to recommend Courtney for your canine needs!”

“Khadija was great with my dog Mochi! Mo can be a handful due to reactivity to other dogs, and he's 70lbs of muscle that requires both strong, confident and gentle handling. Khadija handled him with ease, and he really took to her from day 1. He always came home super happy from his walks with her and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Khadija!”

“We never leave our dog with anyone but family. Since all our family needed to be at our wedding we needed someone to watch Carl. Jim’s property is perfect for animals. Jim treated him like family. He was even allowed on the couch! Jim sent us pictures to show how Carl was relaxing. We recommend using Jim.”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Dawn is excellent! She was recommended by a friend and we were so pleased with the stay. We have 2 dogs with very different personalities, a bolder big dog who loves the outdoors vs a smaller house-centered dog that is cautious and timid. Dawn was comfortable with both personalities and within a day, the timid dog was thriving. The fenced in yard is great and she gave us frequent updates with pictures. It was a great experience!”
