“Breanna was so wonderful watching my pup, Kira, for the weekend! They went on walks, met other dog friends, and got doggy ice cream. She was thorough about asking if Kira had allergies and how she reacted to other dogs beforehand, which was much appreciated! I will absolutely go with Breanna again next time Kira needs to be watched over a weekend!”
“Rebecca was a great puppy sit for my dog Ruby! She took Ruby in the car, kept her active, and had smooth checkins. Very grateful for how easy Rebecca made it for me and Ruby. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Adrienne took great care of Roxanne. Phoebe (Adrienne's pup) was a great friend to Roxanne. Adrienne was attentive and responsive and sent us lots of photo updates!”
“Geena is an absolute gift! She hosted our kitty for two back to back stays during a chaotic era of our lives and was FANTASTIC. Kitty had some medical stuff come up during her stay and Geena went above and beyond to communicate with us and make sure she had great care. We will absolutely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Ali was a perfect fit for Lizzy! We couldn't have been happier. We went away for a week, without access to Wi-Fi. Ali met with us beforehand, and we instantly felt comfortable to leave Lizzy in her care. She was so gentle, Lizzy relaxed and felt right at home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”
“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!”
“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”
“Victoria was nice to me and Oreo, my Tuxedo friend She sent me pictures and videos every day. She gave her an entire room to herself Would hire her again”
“Amazing! Tia is very sweet from the moment you meet her. She treated my dogs as her own. She sent pictures and videos during the stay, and they were happy when I picked them up.”
“Our older cat is afraid of her shadow and keeps her distance from people she doesn’t know. Audrey was patient and gentle with her. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I like that she works from home so your pet is not left alone very often. And her adorable and very friendly kitten is happy to be a playmate or can be kept separate if needed. Give Audrey a try. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Nelia & Brett were amazing! They were constantly updating me and treated our bulldog like their own. He was so happy and content the whole time. 10/10 recommend!”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog Penny received! From the moment we met Valerie, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes her job seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure Penny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Not only did she provide plenty of walks and exercise, but she also incorporated fun enrichment activities that kept Penny's mind stimulated and tail wagging. We loved getting regular updates and photos (even videos!) of all their adventures together. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Penny was in such loving hands, especially since this was the first time Penny stayed with Valerie. She treats every dog like her own, with so much patience, affection, and attention to detail. We came home to a happy pup who clearly had an amazing time. We can’t recommend Valerie highly enough and have already booked her again for two more stays! She is the best!”

About: I have always had cats in my home and enjoyed caring for other people's cats while they are away. I am happy to administer medication or any other extra needs your cats have. I tune in to your pets body language and behaviors to meet them where they're at and love them like my own
“Rose was excellent to work with. She was extremely flexible and attentive as we dealt with a fluid trip out of town due to the loss of a family member. She dealt with my diabetic cat’s medication smoothly and took such wondering care of my two cats while I was away. All instructions on feeding and cleaning were followed excellently and when I returned a day early, Rose was incredibly accommodating. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Rose during a difficult time in our lives, she put our mind at ease with our cats while we were gone - we hope to work with her again!”
“Lucas took wonderful care of our cat! Lucas sent updates to let us know how our cat was doing. It was our cat's first time away from us, and he was so well cared for -- we couldn't be more appreciative! Our pet looks forward to returning :)”
“Tiffany was wonderful! From the initial meet-and-greet through our time away, Tiffany was responsive and dependable. Our cat Cashew was happy and well cared for, and we got tons of pictures over the week that we were gone. It was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. We wouldn't hesitate to have Tiffany watch Cashew again!”
“Nicole was amazing with my senior kitty, Cara! She was so communicative with me and sent me daily updates along with photos and videos. This was the first time boarding my cat and I was so nervous! Nicole was so reassuring and positive and truly went above and beyond! My vacation got cut short because of weather, and Nicole was super accomodating with coordinating a new pickup time with me. I felt Cara was loved and taken care of while I was away and would definitely book with Nicole again. If you are an anxious cat parent or have an anxious kitty, this is the sitter you're looking for!!”
“Anne took excellent care of my cats and made sure they felt comfortable and sent a lot of pictures of them every day. Great communication, she kept us informed the whole time.”
“Abigail was wonderful! She was attentive, caring, and incredibly flexible with timing, and it was clear that she was genuinely dedicated to my cat’s well-being. She sent me photos of my boy while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind and made it much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. She was helpful, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care—and I’ve already booked her again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve recently started taking care of cats, and over the past year they’ve really grown on me. I now love them even more than dogs (don’t tell the dog owners!). I’m reliable, organized, and will make sure your pet stays healthy, happy, and well cared for.
“First time using Dover and had the pleasure of getting Alexander for my pets needs. Needed my cat to get a pill twice a day. He hung out with her and took pictures! Very happy with his communication :) Will book again.”
“This was the second time I've had Divya drop in on my cat and I would keep coming back! She is very prompt and communicative and clearly spends a lot of quality time with clients' pets.”
“Regan is very professional, detailed and friendly. My cat really likes her. It really took some stress off my trip knowing I had someone so responsible stopping by.”
“Clytie was amazing with my shy cat. We needed help getting her into the carrier, and even though she was nervous and hiding, Clytie handled everything calmly and patiently. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat and the best strategies to approach her, which made us feel very reassured. She was also very responsive, shared photos, kept us updated throughout, and got her safely into the carrier in a short time. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica is truly amazing. Our plans fell through with someone else helping watch our cat and she was available within a two-days notice. She immediately bonded with our cat during the meet-and-greet. Shes reliable, communicates very well, and is a pleasure to work with. We are very much looking forward to being repeat customers of hers!”
“Morgan was very prompt and professional when communicating about cat-sitting while I was away. I have been working with her for a few months now and have nothing but good things to say!”
About: I have had cats in my house since I was born. My dad is a cat lover and has turned me into one as well. I have always had a best friend in a cat as long as I can remember, even when some have passed on, that follow me everywhere and I adore them. I love unlocking the friendliness that every cat has to offer!
“Brigitte was incredible! Our cat Murphy warmed up to her as soon as she walked in (which is a huge deal for Murphy!) Brigitte is thoughtful, took great care of Murphy and helped us feel completely at ease! She followed our directions to the letter and we will definitely be booking her again! Highly highly recommend!!”
“Sarah was wonderful! She was extremely reliable and caring. I reached out to Sarah rather last minute when I had a change in my work schedule. For 2 months, she gave my dog his dinner, took him outside for a walk, and played with him and his toys. She would provide a detailed summary of the visit and always sent me the cutest pictures. She was on time and left everything in its place in my home. I trust Sarah and her care of my dog and give my highest recommendation!!”

“Adrienne took wonderful care of Finn! She sent plenty of photo updates, and he clearly had a great time with her pups. Would be happy to have her watch Finn again, and I know Finn would love that, too!”
“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!”
“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”
“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My family has had 3 dogs at a time since then and I have always been responsible for watching them, letting them out, and feeding them. I currently own a year old Jack Russel named sir loin and he is absolutely obsessed with making friends! I’m always available on during the week and weekend as I have a remote job. So this includes overnights, drop ins, babysitting, and walks throughout the day. My fiance and I rent in a great neighborhood full of dogs. We live right by a park and I have a little yard right outside of my house.
“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 :)”
About: I grew up with a chihuahua and small pomapoo and after that I had two Great Danes. I currently have a golden doodle named Sesame. I have a pretty relaxed schedule currently so I’m free nearly 24/7 to be able to care for your fur babies. I can do overnight stays as well! Making sure that both the pets and owner feel comfortable is a top priority. From there, I find it important to figure out the dogs routine and make sure I stick to it.
“Barrett was fantastic. I was passing through Pittsburgh on a holiday weekend and needed someone to watch my two 1 1/2-year-old beagles while I attended a Pirates games with friends. Barrett welcomed Harper & Quincy to his home, provided regular updates, and took great of them (including giving meds). Would absolutely use again.”
“Sara is a great sitter. My dog was excited to see her and had a great day playing at her house. Her backyard is fenced in which gave me a sense of security leaving my baby. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve been a dog person my whole life, from growing up with Winnie and Hairdo to caring for my soul dog Cici (Khaleesi) for nearly 14 years. I lost my sweet girl in July and now I have a whole lot of love to give without anywhere to put it. 🥹 Your pup will be treated like royalty with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention... just the way Queen Cici demanded. 👑 I work from home, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time to give your pup attention between meetings and emails. My day job is in social media so you can guarantee to receive Instagram-worthy photo pupdates while your dog is with me. I’m super active and love a long northside sniff walk. I’m often available for early mornings, lunchtime visits, and late evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and needs. My home is set up really well for dogs, with an almost fully fenced-in backyard and a covered deck for relaxing outside. I’m on a quiet street in East Allegheny, with cute spots around for treats like Garden Cafe and ACB. My apartment is on the second floor of a house, so there are stairs to get in and two steps inside the apartment as well.
“Deanna could not have been better with my two dogs. My Malamute was getting jealous of any attention Deanna got from any other dog, including my Pomsky, and she handled it wonderfully. She, very obviously, loves dogs and knows how to handle them. Also, her dogs were wonderful.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs of different breeds and sizes so I have experience looking after nearly all kinds of dogs. I am capable of also looking after multiples dogs at once, truly caring for them, and playing with them. My wife and I will spend our time and efforts to make your dog feel at home. As I have dogs of my own, it will fit like a glove as I will be caring for your dog alongside my own. I will treat your dog like my own. Dogs are very important to me regardless whether it’s my own dog or someone else’s. I will make sure that dog is safe and feels cared for in any environment.
“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”
About: I love dogs, I used to help take care of our family dog before she passed away, and I always help out with my neighbors three pets! I miss being around pets, so helping out on Rover will be a good substitute. :)) I have a pretty wide-open schedule. I will be out of the city at the end of October for Halloween. Please feel free to message with any questions! I have pet-friendly apartment. I live near a lot of grassy areas and a few outdoor trails I could take them for frequent walks on!
About: Hi! I’m Alex, I’m a 28 year old graduate student in Pittsburgh and am looking to make some extra cash by doing the thing I love most - taking care of animals! I grew up with multiple dogs (big and small, young and old), two foster cats and four bunnies. I currently have one dog living with me :) I have a lot of experience with training both pups and adult dogs and have dealt with multiple difficult cases while volunteering at an animal shelter during undergrad. I know how hard it can be to balance a full time job or travel with your pets’ wellbeing and am happy to step in and provide some TLC when needed! As a student currently working from home I am very flexible and available on short notice. Please feel free to ask me about any day and any time (except Mondays!) and I will always do my best to make it happen :) I am always happy to take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home or outside on a fun walk to get some energy out! All I ask for is detailed information about your pet’s personality and needs so I can show them proper care. I am also open to short term boarding when needed. I live in a calm and spacious 2 person 1 dog home close to various trails in Frick Park. Please be aware that I can only board vaccinated and tick/flee treated pets for the safety of my own dog and others! :)
“Amy was great! Cronus has so much fun playing with the other dogs. He will definitely be a regular! She gives great updates and makes sure that your furry friend is taken care of. ☺️”

“Brittani has been absolutely amazing! I asked her to come have a visit with our pup so she could meet him and she was kind enough to fit us her schedule. She has always been so responsive and timely, something I really appreciate while I’m away at work. Her daily pictures are awesome! I now have these amazing portraits of our dog I can show off. We love Brittani !”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was young. Growing up with a dog, cats, and chickens, I have lots of pet experience! During the beginning of COVID, I got a puppy with my sister and was the main care taker and trainer for several years. I am excited to love your pets just as much as you do! I am a Pitt post-grad, currently working as a fitness instructor. I coach average 2-5 classes per day, so have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the day. My dog at home is a bit of a tricky walker, and wasn’t very good with other dogs when he was younger, so I have lots of experience and can adapt to a dogs walking style and needs.
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both drop in and overnight visits, for two years now. I’ve dealt with small and large dogs and know how to handle them. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in one house and know the different needs each dog requires! I am currently on break for summer from college so I am available anytime throughout the week and weekends. If you are booking day of please be aware I may have other arrangements but for the most part I should be free. Any rules and information I need are required before I enter the home. And for non emergency appointments a meeting with the dog and you present is preferred.
“He did an excellent job! Dogs were very content when I returned. Obvious in their actions that they were well cared for. Would like to book him for regular mid day walks,”
“Luke is awesome.He shows up on time.... And he's always mindful of my babies When walking them. He is quick to tell me how they did.And anything special that I need to know. Luke is exceptional, and I would highly recommend him.!!!”
“Tiffany is on time and does a great job with Coco. She gets her exercise for sure and is tired and content when she gets back. Thank you Tiffany.”
About: I have experience walking and caring for dogs of many different sizes and ages. I always work hard to keep your pet safe and happy! I'm currently career-searching, so I have a lot of time to devote to your pet. I'm currently available any day and time. I am very considerate of other's homes and always make sure to clean and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. I am aware of a pet's boundaries and can adapt to any temperament.
“Ashley was so thoughtful in making sure we all--Clark included!--felt comfortable with her from the get-go, which I hugely appreciated. She was professional and kind, and when they went on a walk together, Clark came home happy and tired. I couldn't be more thrilled to have found Ashley!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From the age of five all the way through my undergrad years, my home was always full of pets — dogs, cats, fish, lizards, you name it — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. That experience started hands-on and early: when I was nine, I helped deliver my dog’s litter of puppies. Today I share my life with my dog, Ollie, whom I raised myself from the day we brought him home from the breeder as a puppy. Knowing a dog from puppyhood — the training, the routines, the little quirks — has given me a lot of patience and a good instinct for what each individual animal needs. The services I offer: Dog walking — A safe, leashed walk at the pace and distance that suits your dog, with plenty of sniff time, potty breaks, and fresh water when we get back. I’ll always let you know how the walk went. Drop-in visits — Feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medication if needed, and real one-on-one time for play, cuddles, or just company so your pet isn’t alone all day. I’ll tidy up any messes and double-check doors and gates before I leave. House sitting — Overnight care in your own home, where your pet is most comfortable. I keep their normal routine intact — meals, walks, bedtime, all of it — and keep your home secure and tidy while you’re away. My availability: I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care fits naturally into my day instead of being squeezed around a commute. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week — mornings, midday, afternoons, and evenings — and I’m able to accommodate both recurring bookings and last-minute requests. Because I’m home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and plenty of time, not a rushed fifteen minutes between meetings. My own daily rhythm with Ollie already revolves around walks and playtime, so your pet slots right into a routine I genuinely look forward to. What you can count on: I know that trusting someone with your pet — and often your home — is a big deal, and I never take that lightly. I show up when I say I will, follow your instructions closely, and send photos and updates during every service so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a happy dog at the end of a good walk or a cat that finally decides you’re worth sitting next to. I’d love to give your pet that kind of care while you’re away — and I’m always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to work around. I can accommodate walks, drop in visits, and house sitting throughout the week in the morning, midday, afternoon, or evening. I am also able to respond to last minute or recurring requests. Since I am home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and stay close to their normal routine, whether that means a lunchtime walk, a couple of check ins, or overnight care in your home. My own dog Ollie keeps me on a steady rhythm of walks and playtime, so fitting your pet into that flow is easy and something I genuinely enjoy. Because I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting, most of my care takes place in your home and neighborhood, and I treat both with real respect. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, follow safe routes, pay attention to weather and pavement temperature, and stay focused on their comfort and body language. For drop in visits, I follow your instructions closely including feeding, fresh water, medications, potty breaks, litter boxes, and plenty of attention and play. I always double check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. For house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible in their own familiar space, keep your home secure and tidy, and treat it with the same care I give my own. Throughout every service, I send photos and updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable, and I reach out quickly if anything ever seems off. Trust is the foundation of this work, and I never take it for granted.
“Emily was our long term walker for around 8 months. She was always on time, formed a bond with our pup, and went above and beyond to take him on long walks! She’s also great on overnight visits, and made sure our pup felt safe in an unfamiliar environment. Her communication is great, and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I started taking care of pets for family friends about five years ago when I was living in Boston, and since then I’ve gained experience with dogs at different stages of their lives. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while staying with me. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their dog is in good hands, so I always do my best to provide attentive and thoughtful care. I usually work best with calm dogs who are comfortable relaxing on their own. For boarding, dogs should be able to stay home alone for a few hours and should not have severe separation anxiety. I’m more experienced with smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) and enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel at home. I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Please feel free to reach out and tell me more about your pup — I’d love to meet them! I currently work 30 hours per week. I’m an early person so I’m happy to take pets to early walks! I am happy to walk your dog 3 times a day. Please chat with me! To ensure I can continue providing the highest standard of care to my clients, I have made the decision to limit my service to take care of one dog at a time I make sure I understand the needs from pet parents. Initially, I would ask pet parent to answer a list of questions I found helpful to know. For example, what’s the daily walking/sleeping/exercise/wasting routine. I will also take pictures/videos through out the day, and send them daily to keep parents updated through the boarding period.
“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”
“Working with Jordan was great and highly recommend her. It was great to know my pup was in good hands and good company. I look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Hanna was fantastic with our two dogs! She was an excellent and proactive communicator and it’s clear our dogs loved her (the most important part). We would highly recommend Hanna and have already booked with her again for an upcoming trip.”
About: We are a Mother (Brooke 44 yo), and 2 kids (Clementine 8 yo and Indigo 6 yo) who care for your pup with kindness and fun! Cauliflower, my childhood dog, was one of the joys of my life and now, I get to share that joy with my kids by taking care of your beloved pet. We are a flexible, homeschooled family willing to take jobs during the day and on weekends. We value slow living and try our best not to overschedule our lives, leaving room for opportunities like pet care. We have a loving home and can cater to your pet’s needs. We love giving your pet exercise and play time which comes effortlessly for our 2 kids :)
“Amy is just *wonderful.*! Prompt, kind, knowledgeable, and great with my Millie. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is walking and checking in on my dog when I am away and my partner is working long hours. Really grateful.”
“I’m so appreciative of Sarah! I was in a bind and unable to get home on my lunch break and she took great care of my guy! Detailed summary and he looks so happy on his walk. Thank you!!!”
“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!”

“Breanna was so wonderful watching my pup, Kira, for the weekend! They went on walks, met other dog friends, and got doggy ice cream. She was thorough about asking if Kira had allergies and how she reacted to other dogs beforehand, which was much appreciated! I will absolutely go with Breanna again next time Kira needs to be watched over a weekend!”
“Rebecca was a great puppy sit for my dog Ruby! She took Ruby in the car, kept her active, and had smooth checkins. Very grateful for how easy Rebecca made it for me and Ruby. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Adrienne took great care of Roxanne. Phoebe (Adrienne's pup) was a great friend to Roxanne. Adrienne was attentive and responsive and sent us lots of photo updates!”
“Ali was a perfect fit for Lizzy! We couldn't have been happier. We went away for a week, without access to Wi-Fi. Ali met with us beforehand, and we instantly felt comfortable to leave Lizzy in her care. She was so gentle, Lizzy relaxed and felt right at home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”
“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”
“Victoria was nice to me and Oreo, my Tuxedo friend She sent me pictures and videos every day. She gave her an entire room to herself Would hire her again”
“Nelia & Brett were amazing! They were constantly updating me and treated our bulldog like their own. He was so happy and content the whole time. 10/10 recommend!”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog Penny received! From the moment we met Valerie, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes her job seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure Penny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Not only did she provide plenty of walks and exercise, but she also incorporated fun enrichment activities that kept Penny's mind stimulated and tail wagging. We loved getting regular updates and photos (even videos!) of all their adventures together. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Penny was in such loving hands, especially since this was the first time Penny stayed with Valerie. She treats every dog like her own, with so much patience, affection, and attention to detail. We came home to a happy pup who clearly had an amazing time. We can’t recommend Valerie highly enough and have already booked her again for two more stays! She is the best!”
“Raeann was by far the best Rover we ever had. She took the time to meet our dog beforehand and was wonderful. She gave us updates with pictures very often and made us feel like we left our dog with an old friend. I'd recommend Raeann to any pet owner who wants a worry-free experience! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Krista was a great sitter for our dog, Rosie. She sent us photos, videos, and assurances that all was well for the entire week. We especially appreciated how responsible she was in giving Rosie her daily meds. Also, her nice fenced in yard was just what our lab needed! Krista's TLC helped us feel confident that Rosie was in good hands! Thank you Krista!”
“Adam was great. He watched Sammy for 4 nights along with another dog in his apartment. He is clearly a dog lover and took the doggos on plenty of long walks, including a 5.5 miler with some of his friends. He sent me cute and funny pics multiple times a day to keep me posted on everything. Very pleasant and easy to coordinate with, and followed all of my instructions. Highly recommend him to others, and look forward to hiring him again in the future! Thanks Adam!”
“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”
