She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”

“This was the first time my dogs stayed with a non family member so I was a littler nervous to leave them. Enrica took EXCELLENT care of my two Yorkies! She sent me updates and photos the entire time I was away which I absolutely loved. My dogs had so much fun with Enrica that the one had no interest in coming home, he just sat on her couch and looked at me. There was a nice fenced in yard to explore and it was clear they were spoiled. I would definitely send my dogs to stay with Enrica again! Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies!”

Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“Ganesh did a great job taking care of my dog Luna for over 2 weeks when I was on vacation. She's happy and looks great, unlike another dog I had that I left in a shelter a few years ago. He provided frequent updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry about her. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.”
“Neetika is like the "dog whisperer"! She did a fantastic job with Gideon who can experience separation anxiety! She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pictures of him!! She is amazing!!!”
“Curtis took really good care of our dog while we were away. He was really excellent with updating us with pictures and how our dog was doing. Curtis made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. If i ever need a dog sitter, Curtis will be my first choice.”
“Rita took great care of Toby. She checked in with us and sent pictures and videos. Normally, Toby is restless and paces and seems anxious when he comes home from staying. He was very chill and seemed just like normal when he came home from Rita's. We were very happy about that. We'll be taking Toby back to Rita's.”
“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 am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care our dogs received during their stay! Ami & James did a fantastic job looking after them for two weeks, ensuring they were not only well-fed but also exercised and entertained. Communication was seamless, and we appreciated the regular updates, which gave my husband and I a peace of mind while we were away. It's clear that Ami & James genuinely care for the dogs and treat them as part of her family. I highly recommend her services and would definitely book again in the future!”

“Tiara was wonderful taking care of our two cats! When our one cat was experiencing separation anxiety she immediately agreed to add a few more check ins to check on him! A+++ sitter; highly recommend!”
“Maria is wonderful! We feel so comfortable knowing she's coming in to take care of our two cats while we're away. She sends us pictures of them and lets us know how they're doing.”
“Stephen was absolutely wonderful watching Brick and Odie! He went above and beyond, sending us pictures, taking them on a nice walk, and keeping us updated. His communication was excellent, and we could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and look forward to having him watch them again!”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
“Kailyn took very good care of our two precious cats while we were away. She sent us LOTS of photos every day. Honestly, we’re not sure what was cuter – – the pictures of our kitties, or the fact that Kailyn took so many! Thanks, Kailyn and Rover!”
“Chelsea was kind enough to drop in and take care of my two space cadets. She had excellent communication, was very patient with them and kept to their schedule. We will absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has their own little personality! I've cared for cats over the years and am comfortable with everything from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and cuddles. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to do their own thing, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“I really appreciated Brenna caring for my two cats over the busy holiday. It was my first experience using a pet sitter as well as my first time leaving my cats. Brenna was willing to come for an introduction and was very responsive to all communication. She also quickly modified the contract when needed. She seems to have a way with animals and they take to her very well. On the pet cam footage, I could see my cat, Bogey, follow her around - so cute! Would recommend!”
“Erin was wonderful! We have an older dog and needed help fairly last minute for a trip. She was so responsive and came to visit before we left. She kept our girl happy and loved! We will definitely reach out to Erin for future needs!”
About: I've been doing pet service for about a year now. I've owned two dogs since they were puppies, so I'm familiar with how each dog has its own personality. Although I have never owned a cat, I'm very fond of them. I have a part-time job (remote court reporting), so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and enjoy playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.
“As Nichiren Shoshu Buddhists (nstny.org) we were very concerned about leaving the care of our cats to just anyone. Instantly upon meeting Alyssa we knew she was the one. Alyssa's care for our cats made it much easier for us to dedicate our time to our pilgrimage to The Head Temple at Taisekiji, Japan, always knowing the cats were in excellent hands. With every visit she sent us updates and pictures as well as reports of their temperament and condition. She played with and interacted with them which made their adjust to our return quick and easy.”

“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”
“It was our first time using Rover, but Alyssa helped explain everything and made us feel comfortable. She was also flexible about changing the initial date. We really appreciated how well Jude and Maddie were taken care of for the day! They seemed to have a great day!”

“No words to say how wonderful and easygoing Megan and Vitaliy were. Edison felt right at home immediately and I had no worries. They gave him plenty of space to play and explore. I don’t think Edison cared if I would have ever come back to get him. Can’t recommend them enough ❤️❤️”

“Samantha and her soon to be husband are definitely dog lovers. Are skittish standard poodle puppy who is the size of a small horse took to both of them right away. This was his first time being away from us with strangers, with the exception of what he goes to the groomers, they kept us up-to-date with adorable pictures and a progress report. We will definitely be using them in the future for overnight visits!”
“New favorite sitter! Our boxer can be very anxious, especially her first few times somewhere. Arfel took such wonderful care of her and shared lots of pictures and updates. Ive never felt more comfortable leaving my dog somewhere before. We did a meet and greet before to ensure the dogs all got along. They have a huge fenced in back yard and deck. Highly recommend!”

“Belle has had three days now at her new “school” with Mr. Spencer. He is terrific about giving this helicopter mom updates throughout the day, and I can see that she feels safe and comfortable with him and the other dogs, which is a very big deal for my little rescue. Spencer and Lindsey are so kind and caring - we are very lucky to have found them!”
“Rita and her husband are lovely. My dog and Rita's dog got along great together. I'm thankful for how accommodating they were for a last minute request for daycare as we travelled through the area. I only wish we lived closer as I've found a great home away from home for my little princess. <3”

About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. There were always multiple cats and dogs in my home growing up. My husband, three children (15,13,11) and myself love pets and have take care of family and friends' pets quite often, including bunnies and chickens! We had a large labradoodle with special needs in the past and currently have another large labradoodle. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes and with giving meds as needed. My kids are always up for a snuggle also! I am a homeschool, stay at home mom of 3. Now that my children are older and more independent my schedule is rather flexible. We are active and walk often and can do school anywhere! Sometimes it would be just me but at times my children (15,13,11) would accompany me as well. We have a fenced in dog run which is very secure. If I am coming to your home I will follow any and all guidelines you have to make sure your pet is safe and happy and loved while you are away.
“Claudia is great!! Our dog, Winnie, is especially wary of new people and can be quite intimidated when they come through the door. Claudia took her time with our nervous gal, and quickly and successfully leashed her up and got her outside. She even noticed that Winnie seems more at ease with new people outside and spent some time sitting outside in the shade with her! It is so nice to know that someone will consider your pets as much as she does, and I am so appreciative of her care for our dog! She was also very punctual and kept us updated with pictures!”
About: Hello! I have been in the animal care industry for almost two decades. During this time I was certified as an Animal Care Technician. My training taught me proper handling, how to read body language, and how to gauge temperament in each pet. I have dealt with dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. Other qualifications that set me apart include administering medication to pets, bathing dogs, and teaching dogs basic commands. While visiting your pet I can provide light house-keeping. I have a genuine passion for animals, and hope to someday pursue a career in the field. Thank you for your consideration! Looking for pets who need lunch visits/walks! I enjoy taking care of pets in my spare time. I relish getting out of my house as I currently work from home. I try to treat every pet as if it were my own. When coming into a client's home, I am respectful, and try to leave things in better condition than I found them.

Aside from my internship I have a free and flexible schedule meaning your pets will have my full attention. I provide services in my clients home. I will promise to keep your pets schedule as similar to the one they have when you are at home as possible. This ensures they don't have a messed up routine or schedule when you get back home.

About: I have been a lifetime pet owner, with all different kinds of pets including geckos, dogs, cats including puppies and kittens. I love to take dogs on walks, hikes, and even up to 3 mile runs depending on what you'd like for your dog! I have worked with all types of dogs including those with behavioral issues as well. I currently own two cats and a dog, so reliable pet care and dog walking are always apart of my daily routine! I enjoy taking care of my pets in all fashions like walking, brushing, feeding, and playing. I am a very flexible person, so pet care in your home could be what you would want from me! I bring my own small training treats, but normally would expect pet owners to provide leashes/harnesses so their pet is comfortable and used to these accessories.

I am a very attentive sitter because I recognize that every dog is a unique individual; I prioritize meeting their specific needs by carefully observing how their personalities vary.

I pay close attention to their body language to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and receiving the exact level of interaction they crave.

“Meagen did a fantastic job sitting our puppy and was able to give me peace of mind that he was well watched. Overall experience was a 10/10 and would seriously consider hiring Meagen again”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“I would recommend Alyssa to everyone I know. I was away for 5 days and she kept me updated at all time about Douglas's stay. She even sent me pictures! Thank you Alyssa for treating my fur baby like one of your family members. ”
“This was the first time my dogs stayed with a non family member so I was a littler nervous to leave them. Enrica took EXCELLENT care of my two Yorkies! She sent me updates and photos the entire time I was away which I absolutely loved. My dogs had so much fun with Enrica that the one had no interest in coming home, he just sat on her couch and looked at me. There was a nice fenced in yard to explore and it was clear they were spoiled. I would definitely send my dogs to stay with Enrica again! Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies!”
“Sam and her husband were awesome! Our dog Winnie is usually very timid and slow to warm up to people. It was so comforting to know that she had such a good time there and got to play with some other puppy friends! We will definitely trust and use Sam again in the future!!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“Neetika is like the "dog whisperer"! She did a fantastic job with Gideon who can experience separation anxiety! She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pictures of him!! She is amazing!!!”
“Curtis took really good care of our dog while we were away. He was really excellent with updating us with pictures and how our dog was doing. Curtis made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. If i ever need a dog sitter, Curtis will be my first choice.”
“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 am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care our dogs received during their stay! Ami & James did a fantastic job looking after them for two weeks, ensuring they were not only well-fed but also exercised and entertained. Communication was seamless, and we appreciated the regular updates, which gave my husband and I a peace of mind while we were away. It's clear that Ami & James genuinely care for the dogs and treat them as part of her family. I highly recommend her services and would definitely book again in the future!”
“Zen had a very nice stay with Tim and his family. She LOVES kids and Tim provided plenty of opportunities for playtime with them and with his 2 small dogs. Drop-off and pickup were super easy. It was a nice bonus to receive a couple pictures of Zen while we were away. We would certainly select Tim again if he is available! 😀”
“We needed to leave Roughy for 4 days. Mary and Dan were great. This was Roughy's first time staying with them. They have a huge fenced in yard that Roughy appeared to love. He isn't used to being off the leash. He ran around the yard barking at the cars going by (which were pretty far away) and got some good exercise. Although he was sad that we left him, Mary and Dan took great care of him and made him feel at home. They were willing to let him sleep in the bed with them which I think made him feel safe. They sent a picture or a video each day and were quick to keep in touch when we messaged them. He was happy to see us when we got back, but I think he had a good time with them and I would go back to them again.”
“Brian was an amazing host for our dog. He was very communicative throughout the stay and shared many pictures and updates. Our dog was very well cared for and had a lot of fun with the family and other dogs. Will absolutely have our dog stay with Brian again.”
“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
“We left our 11 month old golden retriever, Rosie, with Deepak & her family this past week. I couldn't have felt more comfortable with the amount of love, care and attention she received. We received photos and videos every day and it was clear that Rosie was having just as much of a vacation as we were! We will absolutely leave her with Deepak & Derek again (and soon!). Highly recommend!!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Kaylee was great with communication. Ans before Cooper's stay, she allowed us to have a meet and greet. During our travel she sent photos of our little guy that showed he was getting lots of attention. We will use her care again.”
“Andre was great! My pup Sulley had a BLAST staying with him during Thanksgiving. When we went to pick him up he was excited to greet us and wanted us to come back inside with him instead of going for a car ride! Would definitely bring Sulley back to more fun with Andre.”
