“Highly recommend!! Will book again, wonderful boarding services and very professional. Sent photos and our Albert looked as happy as ever. His face said it all. Thank you Alyssa and Josh.”
“Lorraine took excellent care of our CavaPoo while we attended a family reunion out of state. It made us feel great to know Bailey was in such capable and nurturing hands. Lorraine sent frequent pictures and updates. Her home is safe, cozy and inviting. We will definitely book with Lorraine whenever we can!!!”
“My dog is a bit of a sensitive soul and she had a wonderful time while I was away. I much appreciated getting photo and videos so I could see that she was comfortable and happy! I was also grateful for the feeding and sleeping updates. I could relax knowing that she was happy and well cared for! She will be back to hang with cooper and clover next time I have to travel!”
“One of our neighbors recommended Grace to us when our regular sitter stopped boarding. Our dog is very shy and introverted when it comes to people she doesn’t know, and she took to Grace really well. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog, Nyla. Nyla came home happy, healthy, and tired out from all the fun! We will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“Catherine and her family were so caring to our elderly dog. They really went out of their way to make sure his separation anxiety and old man ways were managed well. Highly recommend them!”
“Had my dog and my son’s dog there for a weekend stay. They were well cared for and happy. They were exhausted when they came home 😊 would definitely recommend Meaghan and would not hesitate to use her services 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!”
“Enrica and her husband are above and beyond, they are super warm and welcoming! Both meet & greet arrangement and App communications are smooth and swift. They care and treat your pet as their own. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Juliana was a great sitter for my pug, Riggins! Riggins stayed multiple nights at her house and constantly gave updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. I would highly recommend and would use Juliana again!”
“Madison was perfect with our old beagle. Our dog even had some issues going in and she loved her right up. I think our pup liked it just as much at Madison’s house as she does ours ❤️”
“Dolly took care of our two dogs for 5 days and nights and they were SO WELL LOVED by her whole family. Well taken care of, and we received lots of photos of how much fun they were having. No hesitation to recommend Dolly!”
“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”
“Samantha was great! You could tell she really cares, she let our dog sleep in her bed during a bad thunderstorm. My dog Beans had a great time and came home tired and well taken care of! I would definitely book with Samantha again!!”
About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!
“Rita did such an amazing job with Rocco. She kept me updated the whole time I was away and made me feel extremely comfortable. Your dog will be in good hands with Rita!”

“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!”
“Julia was the sweetest and most caring person ever! She came to babysit my kitten for three days, and was absolutely phenomenal the entire time! She showed up on time, made sure his food, water, and litter were clean and fresh, and sent many pictures throughout her stay. I personally requested the hr of playtime, and she definitely tired him out for sure! He (the kitten) personally - she mentioned he was practicing his biscuit techniques, and was greeting her with happy chirps the entire time! I’d like to say he enjoyed her company as well. On top of all of that, she made sure his area was all clean! No messes, no litter tracks, and nothing out of order. I definitely recommend, and will most definitely be coming back need be of another sitter! She provided an amazing amount of reassurance knowing that the kitten would be in safe hands, as well as the constant contact of his well being! It definitely helped cool our minds out for the weekend!”
“Lila was on time everyday, no issues whatsoever. Out of my 3 cats, one can be difficult to deal with because she’s scared of everything. From what I saw Lila was actually able to get close to her. Very satisfied with her services.”
About: I have taken care of friend's and family's cats ever since I was a preteen. I have two cats of my own, and I have 2 years working at a boarding facility that boards cats as well as dogs. I have experience taking care of 1 month old kittens to senior cats.
“Kailyn is amazing!! We left our kitties in her care for 9 days, and she took the best care of them! She was very professional and communicated extremely well! There was a snow storm when we were away, and she was great at keeping us updated on road closures and travel difficulties! I would recommend her to anyone who needs their cats or dogs taken care of! We plan on using her services in the future! Our kitties will miss seeing her daily!”
“We are pleased with Teresa's pet sitting! She did a great job on the first assignment with our cats. They are kept separate, and it is a bit of a juggling act to get their needs taken care of and get a rapport with them (especially the first time!). She showed concern for getting along with them and helping them to feel comfortable with her. We appreciate her taking care of our cats and being mindful of our requests! Thank you, Teresa!”
“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.”
“Jordan's so great. Very easy to work with. I really appreciated the communication and care she provided when meeting Aurora, who can get nervous around new people. Definitely recommend.”
“Maria is super professional and responsible. I feel so comfortable leaving my older cats with her who need medicine. She took excellent care of my girls and was super responsive to their needs, taking extra steps and time to make sure they were cared for and safe. I am so grateful to have found her on Rover and would absolutely recommend her!!!”
“My first experience hiring Vu was fantastic! He did everything I asked at each check in and gave consistent updates. I run a business and get a lot of packages and he always brought them inside in addition to taking great care of my cats. I highly recommend & hope to re-hire! Thanks Vu.”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life, and I genuinely love their personalities. I think they’re hilarious, and I’m endlessly entertained by all the weird little things they do. I’m patient with cats who are shy or need some time to warm up, and I’m happy to let them approach me on their own terms. If they want attention, I’m there for it, and if they’re ready to play, I’m always happy to grab their favorite toy and keep them entertained. I really enjoy getting to know each cat and figuring out their individual personality, quirks, and favorite ways to interact.
“Brady is amazing. His communication is exceptional and he goes above and beyond what his duties require. We are impressed by his maturity and willingness to excel as a pet sitter. He took wonderful care of our cats and our home while we were away. We will 100% be contacting him for future sits and recommend his services to everyone who needs them. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!”
“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.”
“Grace was amazing with our very shy dog. Our pup warmed up to her very quickly and we feel very comfortable with her caring for Birdie. She takes some great pictures and gives us a detailed report after check ins. Highly recommend Grace if you are looking for someone to care for your pets!”

“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 ❤️❤️”
“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”
“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!”

“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!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have cared for several dogs over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese, and they are both very friendly and comfortable around other dogs. My Yorkie is 8 years old, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy having dogs around and will treat your dog like part of the family while they stay with us 🐶 I will be home with the dogs throughout the day, so they get plenty of attention and regular potty breaks. We already have our own dogs, so caring for dogs is a natural part of our daily routine. I’m available for both daytime daycare and overnight boarding. Our home is in a quiet area with plenty of space between neighbors, which makes it a peaceful place for dogs to relax and feel at home. We keep our home clean, quiet, and comfortable for our dogs and visiting pups. The house is regularly cleaned and disinfected, and we do an extra cleaning before every new stay. Potty pads are changed frequently, and we use air purifiers indoors to help keep the space fresh and odor-free. Our own dogs also receive regular flea and tick prevention. Most importantly, someone is home throughout the day to keep an eye on the dogs and make sure they are safe and comfortable.
“So pleased with the care my shy pup received today from Cody. He was patient with her and kept me updated with messages and photos. I am super pleased and she will be back soon!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. Friends and family have always entrusted me with their care and have never been disappointed. I currently own 3 rescue dogs myself as well. I work weekdays from home and have weekends and evenings available for dog care. Even during the work day my dogs are fed and taken out twice or more if needed. My 3 dogs are all very friendly and all different sizes which guarantees your dog(s) will have someone to play with. I also have large crates available if the dog is more comfortable by themselves. My neighborhood is all sidewalks which allows for safe and ample room and distance to walk/run with the dogs. I work from home so I am also available for any pet care needs like walks, feedings and playtime. I currently have 3 dogs myself so pet care is always a top priority. Dogs will have free reign of the house and will never be crated. I have a large mostly flat neighborhood with sidewalks to take any and all pets for long walks. All pets will have access to plenty of toys and activities to keep them active while inside as well. I have fans that add white noise to help the dogs relax day and night. There is always a TV or radio on as well to help your dog relax during their stay.
“Beth is a very kind hearted person and Benny really loves her. I don’t think Benny missed us while Benny was with her. I will leave my dog anytime with her and plus she is very close to us.”
“It was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter having recently adopted my dog. It was a great experience. Jay was great to work with and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with Jay.”
About: Hi, I’m Adina, owner of Playful Paws Pet Sitting. I offer thoughtful, high-quality care for dogs and cats in a calm, home-style environment. I specialize in one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and low-stress care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced, insured, and deeply detail-oriented — from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I intentionally limit bookings so every pet receives unrushed, individualized care. My clients are often busy professionals who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. I provide clear communication, photo updates, and the kind of dependable care I’d expect for my own pets. Your home and your pet will always be treated with respect, warmth, and discretion. If your pet stays with me, I offer an executive home on a large one acre flat lot and access to nearby trails. For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect. I specialize in anxious pets, senior pets, and pets who need a lot of medical attention throughout the day. My clients are mostly long term and like family and I develop lasting relationships with your pets! This is my full time job and so I am available to you and your pets. Please discuss with me the details of what you need and I will give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I’m friendly, flexible, and will go above and beyond to keep your pets happy. I treat all animals with love and respect. I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am neat and organized and will treat your home with care and respect. I will send you photos/videos of your pet(s) as well as daily written updates. I specialize in dogs and cats with anxiety or who are shy, as I take the time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable.

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy.

I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
“We are new to the area and Stephen was so kind as to take us on as a new client last-minute. Jett had a couple wonderful walks complete with a game of fetch as well, and Stephen even left us a new ball to play with! Thank you so much! We will definitely schedule again soon!”
“Kendall has been wonderful with my rescue pup who’s experiencing a lot of separation anxiety since we moved and I’ve been having to travel for work a few days a week. She’s very communicative and I can tell she takes great care of all the pets that are in her charge. I would highly recommend Kendall for your pet sitting/walking needs any time!”
About: I grew up pet sitting for several friends and family members. My family has owned Dobermans, Rottweilers, and huskies throughout the years. My own personal pets are a Belgian Malinois, a standard Poodle, and two cats. I am a certified dog groomer that has been grooming for 5 years, and was an assistant manager at a cat and dog boarding facility for 2 years. I have experience caring for all ages and sizes of pets, from newborns to seniors. I have experience working under and learning from a balanced trainer, however I am not an official dog trainer. I currently work 1-2 days a week, so I have plenty of availability to do drop in playtimes, potty breaks, and walks, multiple times per day if needed. My goal is to meet your pets' individual needs. If you have pets that are super high energy and want to go wild, I'm here for it! If you have pets that just want someone in the room to keep them company or cuddle for a bit, I'm here for it! The goal is to show your fur babies love and fun while I am with them, no matter what that looks like for them!
“If I could give Vu 10 Stars rating I would. For example, Vu was on his family vacation and I had sent him a text and right away he responded. Another example of Vu going beyond the scope of his job is that he came to pick up my dogs for a walk and noticed one of the dogs had vomited. Vu could've left the vomit there for me to clean up when I got home, but instead he cleaned up the mess and informed me. In addition, he has also pulled my garbage into the house. Being a single moms it's the little things Vu has done that has great tremendous help for me and my dogs. I can't speak highly enough of Vu. He's always letting me know if he's coming early or running late due to traffic. My dogs just loves Vu.”
About: I’ll probably remember your dog’s name before I remember yours. It’s nothing personal. I’ve had animals most of my life and currently have three dogs and a cat. I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, given medications, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. One of my own dogs is dog reactive, so I’m also used to watching body language, managing triggers, and giving dogs the space they need. Mostly, I just really love animals. I go to the National Dog Show every year and visit local shelters in my free time. I’m not allowed to foster anymore because that’s how I kept ending up with more pets of my own. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, so I’m often available for same-day or last-minute visits too. I know plans change, and I’m happy to help when I can. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. It’s easy for me to step away for a walk or drop-in, and I’m often available on short notice. Whether you’re stuck in a late meeting, heading out for date night, or just need someone to check in during a long day away, I can usually work a visit into my schedule. Plus, I’m always happy for an excuse to get away from my desk and hang out with an animal for a while. I’m big on safety and following your pet’s normal routine. One of my own dogs is reactive, so I’m used to paying attention to body language, managing separate spaces, checking doors and gates, and being aware of our surroundings on walks. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, crates, or just making sure a certain door stays closed. I know the little details matter, and I want your pet to feel comfortable while you’re away.
“This was the third or fourth time you took my little buddy for a walk while I was gone for an extended period. thank you both so much. Looking forward to using your services again.”
About: Hi, I’m Belle! I’ve always had a huge heart for animals and truly love spending time with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend, so I’ll always provide plenty of photo updates, communication, and lots of love. My goal is to make every visit stress free for both you and your pet. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🤍🐾 30-Minute Dog Walks: Available between 6:00 AM and 3:00 PM.

I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💗
“Brady was a great dog walker. He was always on time and very Flexible with changes. We will definitely be using him again! My pup lyla was always in good spirits and happy after her walks with Brady!”
“Beth was amazing! She walked our dog every day for a week. She bonded with our dog, who is cautious and was hesitant to walk at first. Beth managed to get her to relax and go on nice walks every day.”
About: Hi! I’m a mom of 1 with loads of experience working with all kinds of animals and I am a current AVA student. I was an intern for an animal shelter for 3 years, a dog groomer, and I’ve always had my own animals too. I’m comfortable with special needs animals and all shapes and sizes. I pet sit for several years too and understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust and depend on. I’m happy to provide more details on my experience! I've watched animals of all kinds for years, including dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, fish & coral, reptiles and amphibians. I was a professional dog groomer and a shelter intern for 3 years, with lots of safety and behavioral training. I focus on safety when it comes to working with animals and take all precautions when greeting, interacting (or avoiding) other animals, and generally all areas. Second to safety, building trust and bonding with animals is something I value highly. I am typically available after 3:00pm during the week and I am flexible on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and excellent communication skills so parents should feel at ease when I take care of their pets. I always follow all requests and instructions from parents for their pets. I do not sit or board currently in our out of my home.
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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I worked at a Dog Kennel for 6 years. I would typically take care of 20+ dogs by myself. I am comfortable with all types of dogs at any age! From scared old pups to crazy hyper pups! I have taken care of dogs that were over 15 years old who couldn’t walk and puppies who were trying to eat everything they saw. I know my way with dogs pretty well and I’ve never met a dog that I couldn’t handle. My schedule is currently only open after 5pm Monday through Friday and any time on the weekends! I am able to do walk in to check on the pups and walks! I always try to get to know the owner and dog before taking care of the pup or staying in the clients home. I prefer meeting both client and dog about a week before starting to take care of the pups just so everyone is comfortable!
“My boyfriend and I were in a pinch and needed someone to take care of our dog while we were out of town for the night... we sent Alyssa a message and she responded immediately... she even came to meet our dog before her scheduled walks with him. We were so impressed by the care she provided for our little guy! She gave updates after each walk and included pictures too (because who doesn't like seeing pictures of their dog when they're not there?!) We cannot thank Alyssa and her family enough for taking such good care of a dog. We highly recommend hiring Alyssa! From the short time we met her, we had nothing but good feelings and if our dog could talk, I'm sure he would say he recommends her, too! Thanks so much again, Alyssa! You are the best!”
“JOY is completely qualified to walk and care after your fur baby :) she is extremely responsive and accepting of any special needs your pup may need. Joy will help teach your dog cute little tricks and basic obedience Under leash. You would be silly not to let joy walk your pups 7 days a week!! I promise you will not be dissatisfied with her professionalism and doggy knowledge.”
About: Hello I am a former home stager, custom closet, kitchen and bathroom designer. I have owned and taken care of animals of breeds and ages. Everything from turtles and lizards to cats, dogs and horses. From kittens to older animals. I travel for work with a ever changing schedule so I do not own pets like I would like to. I currently own an older cat but that’s all. I am happy to spend my time off helping others care for their pets as if they were my own. I am insured. My schedule changes almost daily. I don’t work a normal 9-5 job. I have anywhere from 7-15 days off a month. I will even walk a dog on my way home from work it my schedule allows for it. It’s best to contact me for services at last minute or two weeks BEFORE the next month. I usually have my schedule around 20th the month before. For example I should know my December schedule around November 20th. I live in the suburbs and drive to the city for work. So I am happy to drive to anyone’s home in between my home and Philadelphia.

“Highly recommend!! Will book again, wonderful boarding services and very professional. Sent photos and our Albert looked as happy as ever. His face said it all. Thank you Alyssa and Josh.”
“Had my dog and my son’s dog there for a weekend stay. They were well cared for and happy. They were exhausted when they came home 😊 would definitely recommend Meaghan and would not hesitate to use her services 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!”
“Enrica and her husband are above and beyond, they are super warm and welcoming! Both meet & greet arrangement and App communications are smooth and swift. They care and treat your pet as their own. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“Madison was perfect with our old beagle. Our dog even had some issues going in and she loved her right up. I think our pup liked it just as much at Madison’s house as she does ours ❤️”
“Dolly took care of our two dogs for 5 days and nights and they were SO WELL LOVED by her whole family. Well taken care of, and we received lots of photos of how much fun they were having. No hesitation to recommend Dolly!”
“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”
“Samantha was great! You could tell she really cares, she let our dog sleep in her bed during a bad thunderstorm. My dog Beans had a great time and came home tired and well taken care of! I would definitely book with Samantha again!!”
About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!
“Alexa was amazing! She watched Ruby while I was in Panama and gave me daily updates, which really put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and I felt confident that Ruby was safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I would definitely trust Alexa to watch Ruby again and highly recommend her!”
“Lisa continues to be a great help to our family. Lucy knows her well now and always comes home in a great mood and a bit tuckered out. I miss Lucy so much while we are away but with the updates throughout her stay, I can see she's having just as much fun, if not more, on her vacation too.”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Dave provided outstanding care for my French Bulldog. His frequent updates gave me complete peace of mind, and it’s clear he treats every pet with genuine love and attention. I’ll definitely book with him again without hesitation!”
“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“Tim was very responsive prior and during Chase’s stay, sent pictures throughout and had him ready to go when I arrived back. Chase clearly had an enjoyable stay and I would recommend him for any future stays!”
