“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Teddy just came home from spending 3 nights with Ali and her family. When I picked him up he was all brushed out and handsome and he came home with a surprise toy that Ali gave him. These little extras separate her from other pet sitters. When he got home he was a bit out of sorts, but I think he just misses playing with her daughter and all the extra attention he got. I highly recommend Ali's pet sitting services.”
“Eun was really great, very responsive and kept us updated about Astro every day. Eun would also be very prompt in her response and took care of all Astro’s needs very well. I will be definitely booking her again. 🙂”
“Great updates with pictures! Buckley seemed to really enjoy himself and that he was well taken care of! One happy pup! It was very reassuring to know he was in great hands while we were away.”
“We've boarded our dog with Nina and Kon before and I missed my chance to leave a review the first time. They are the absolute best. They truly treat our dog as one of their own and provide frequent updates on all the activities—daily walks, trick-or-treating, and playtime with the pack. Trusting anyone with your pet is a difficult thing to do, but with Nina and Kon, we can truly relax knowing he’s in excellent hands and being well taken care of.”
“We are immensely grateful to William and his family for the exceptional care they provided to our elderly dog, Bentley, while we were on vacation. Their constant updates, complete with pictures, gave us peace of mind and showed just how happy Bentley was in their care. Their home and spacious backyard were ideal for him to explore and relax. We are confident that he was well looked after, and we will definitely choose them again in the future. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of trustworthy pet care.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rocky overnight! He clearly enjoyed his stay, loved spending time with you all, and felt so comfortable that it seemed like a second home to him. We truly appreciate your love and care for him!”
“Ms. Karmen is a dream come true. I could not ask for a more wonderful caretaker for my big boy Clover. She showed Clover so much love and cared for him as if he were her own. I sincerely appreciated all the care shown to Clover. Karmen definitely deserves a 10 + +. Thank you so much Karmen!”
“Sri and Aparna were wonderful hosts to Cody. I had a last minute cancellation for coverage and they responded quickly. He enjoyed their fenced in yard and time with the family, including their cute dog. He got treats for entertaining them. Great experience.”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”

“Lydia and her family are amazing! I needed to extend an extra day due to snow and she was more than happy to accommodate. This is the first time in 3 years where I have zero concern while I am away. I highly recommend Lydia!”
About: Certified medical assistant also, I have been taking care of animals of all types (including horses) for many years. I am responsible and just love animals! Every animal is different. Some need scheduled feeding times and understood what their requirements are. I also understand loving care and making your pets feel safe is key I will help with any cleaning any time you are gone. I like to have a clean home myself and wouldn't want anything I need less of your home as well as your pets.

“Katherine has been the absolute best for watching my baby! She takes such good care of him and sticks to his extra care needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates each day! Hes always so happy and comfortable when I arrive to pick him up!”
“Wow - what a great experience! We brought our golden retriever over to John and Joanna on somewhat of a short fuse due to a family emergency. Our Lucy was so well taken care of - we could not have asked for a better home! Lucy was treated so well, just like family except with alot more pampering!! Would take Lucy back again in the future and would definitely recommend! We even got a gift bag when we left!!❤️”
“Yang was amazing with Mochi!! Whenever I was wondering how Mochi was doing, Yang sent me a bunch of pictures of Mochi. I never had doubts to how she was doing and how she was behaving. Mochi is hard to trust new people but she felt instantly at home with Yang. If you are on the fence, go with confidence.”
“James and Iryna were absolutely amazing with my dog, Rey, while I was away in Japan for two weeks. From the very start, their communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. They responded quickly to messages and kept me updated every single day with photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing Rey was happy and well cared for. Rey looked so comfortable and content in every update, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. It was obvious they treated her like part of their family. When I came back, Rey was her usual happy self, and it was clear she’d been in great hands. I would absolutely trust James and Iryna to watch Rey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitters.”

She goes above and beyond, sending wonderful pictures and videos of our cats every time she sees them, helping us feel connected to them when we are away.

“Mercedez has once again managed to win over our big Manny cat full of neurosis as well as Samantha, the crotchety old lady, and remain friends with Moe-I-Love-Everyone. She handled the magical disappearing cat with patience. She's wonderful with updates and pictures. I'd recommend Mercedez and will definitely book again.”
“Skylar was amazing with our 2 cats! She was very patient and let them warm up at their own pace. Both cats were very relaxed and comfortable our entire time away thanks to Skylar. We couldn't recommend Skylar highly enough.”

I only wish she weren't leaving our local area next month.”

About: I've been with dogs since I was a kid, and honestly, I can't explain my attachment to these beautiful souls. When I look into their eyes, I see pure love—and I believe they deserve nothing less in return. For years, I've onboarded and cared for dogs, learning their personalities, their quirks, their fears. I understand separation anxiety deeply, and I make it my mission to turn your absence into comfort, not stress. When your dog stays with me, they're not in a kennel or with a "sitter." They're at home. Your pup will have: 1) A warm, cozy vacation home where they're part of my family—including my own dog, who provides constant companionship and helps anxious pups feel safe 2) Adventure & Exercise: Long walks, hiking trails, and outdoor playtime—because a happy dog is an active dog 3) Structure with Love: Meals on schedule, plus treats I've earned through their good behavior—think fresh boiled chicken, their favorite reward 4) Real Connection: I treat every dog like my own. Not because it's my job, but because I genuinely can't help it. I work from home, so the pups get 24/7 care and attention. My day revolves around the dogs: morning walks, midday adventures, weekend trials, regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, playtime, and constant companionship. They're never alone—never crated—never waiting. They won't experience separation anxiety here. They'll experience a loving home where they're part of my daily routine, every single day. Pups get a warm, cozy, dog-friendly environment where they're treated like family. They have access to comfortable spaces, toys, water, and safe outdoor areas. My own dog is here too, providing constant companionship—especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. They're never alone, never crated. Daily Care in My Home: Nutrition: Meals on schedule, portion-controlled, with fresh boiled chicken treats (their favorite!) Exercise: Multiple walks and hikes daily, playtime, outdoor adventures based on each dog's energy level Comfort: Bedding, safe spaces, cuddle time, and the security of knowing I'm always here Attention: Individualized care—I learn each dog's personality, fears, and needs from day one Health: Medication management, scheduled potty breaks, and monitoring their wellbeing
“Smitha was very friendly from the start and jingles had no issue feeling safe the minute we dropped him. We were given frequent updates via photos and comments during the stay. Jingles seemed really happy and enjoyed the playtime in their yard. We will be connect with Smitha in the near future for Jingles boarding.”

Dogs love being at our house and enjoy all the cuddling and interaction they get here. We love dogs and try to make them comfortable and happy while they may be missing their owners. We’ve cared for so many different breeds, personalities, ages, a pregnant dog, and many puppies (including six that were born in our bathroom!) P.S. Chihuahuas are our favorite! Please note: Drop-offs before 7am will be an additional $15; Pick-ups after 3pm will be charged for an additional day. We are always caring for pets because we have two of our own. Every day of the week, our pets are part of our routine. We have a fenced yard and a comfortable living space for furry friends to roam. If they have a special diet, we can do custom meal plans as well.

Caring for them is part of my daily routine. Walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of snuggles. With two pups of my own, adding one more just means more love! I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Inside, they’re truly part of the family, spending time with me and my two friendly dogs throughout the day. Dogs are welcome on the bed and couch during the day if they enjoy it. However, for safety, all dogs sleep separately at night. The entire first floor is fully pet proofed, and I spend most of my time there with them, so they’re never left alone or unsupervised. I follow each pup’s routine for meals, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel comfortable and at home. You’ll also receive regular photo updates!

About: A former vet assistant, kennel attendant, and active equestrian and children’s horseback riding instructor, I have worked for several years with big and small pets! I have experience with elderly dog and cat care, administering daily medicine, puppy care and training, and large animal welfare. I currently work from home and set my own work schedule, so I have a lots of flexibility and can adapt to your pets needs. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding and medication on schedule, regular walks on leash, and any appointments they need. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before and after each outing, and I keep the emergency vet’s number and your contact info on hand. For overnight and multi-day stays, I also handle house sitting tasks like mail collection, plant care, and general cleanup (dishes, laundry, sweeping).

I’m able to work around your schedule and attend to all your sweet pups needs I follow your schedule provided, but I also allow your pup to lead the way. If they want to play, we play. We take walks.

“We are immensely grateful to William and his family for the exceptional care they provided to our elderly dog, Bentley, while we were on vacation. Their constant updates, complete with pictures, gave us peace of mind and showed just how happy Bentley was in their care. Their home and spacious backyard were ideal for him to explore and relax. We are confident that he was well looked after, and we will definitely choose them again in the future. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of trustworthy pet care.”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“James and Iryna were absolutely amazing with my dog, Rey, while I was away in Japan for two weeks. From the very start, their communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. They responded quickly to messages and kept me updated every single day with photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing Rey was happy and well cared for. Rey looked so comfortable and content in every update, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. It was obvious they treated her like part of their family. When I came back, Rey was her usual happy self, and it was clear she’d been in great hands. I would absolutely trust James and Iryna to watch Rey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitters.”
“It’s never easy to leave my baby behind, but the experience was so much better knowing she was in excellent hands with Hommer and his wife. I thought I was the one who had gone away for a mini-vacation, but I think my dog was the one getting the getaway treatment! She was taken on multiple long walks (and she’s a tough one to handle) and received tons of cuddles and couch time. I got many updates. In fact, I never once had to ask for an update! Let me just say this; when I came to pick my dog up, she kept jumping between greeting me and running back to them. I mean what more evidence could anyone need?! We are already booking her next stay!”
“Stacie is wonderful with dogs and her doodle is very dog friendly. I loved the many pics she sent while we were away! I felt worry-free seeing my dog was having such a nice time. We will definitely use her again!”
“Highly recommend Xinyi! She took incredible care of our dog, Louis. We could tell how comfortable he was with her once we got him home; he was happy and completely free of anxiety. Xinyi sent daily updates and photos, which totally put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation guilt-free. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we go away!”
“Ksenia did an amazing job caring for my two dogs! She’s very patient and made them both feel comfortable. My hyper one was living his best life getting to play in her yard and walks. My older one acted up a bit at her place and she was very attentive, communicative with me and addressed his behavior, and the next day was smooth sailing. She sent a ton of cute pictures and gave me status updates which was very welcome. Looking forward to having her watch my dogs again and highly recommend her??”
About: Your dog deserves to feel at home, even when you’re away! Ever since I was little, I dreamed of having a dog. That dream came true with Apollo, the puppy my brother and I raised together. When my brother moved away for work and took Apollo with him, I realized just how much I missed the joy (and responsibility!) of caring for a dog. Now, I’d love to give that same love and attention to your pup. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a friend by their side, I’ll treat them like family—not just another booking. You take care of your busy schedule. I’ll take care of your best friend. I work part time and have online classes. I’m usually at home especially on weekends and have time to care for all dogs and will dedicate time for them I have a very pet friendly neighborhood as well as a backyard that is fenced and will make sure the dog is always within a close proximity to me
“Perry was an amazing sitter for our pluto. Very sweet and thoughtful ☺️ She made sure pluto was comfortable in every possible way, plus pluto gained a friend in Perry and Caesar 💕 Communicating with her was very easy and she always kept us updated the whole time. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Catherine took great care of Andy during this visit. Andy was experiences stomach upset and the recommended increasing his feeding from twice a day to 4 times. Catherine accommodated this request. Fin was a great playmate to Andy. Andy came back healthy and happy 😊”
“We could not be happier with the care our Goldendoodle received! Our pup is a bundle of endless energy, and Nitin handled that high-spirited enthusiasm with incredible patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Nitin's communication throughout the stay was prompt and reliable, keeping us completely at ease with regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog sitter and will definitely be booking again!”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Thank you for an amazing, trustworthy first experience with you (and Rover)! Drop off of our 5 month old puppy had him whining to be left behind by his sitters ? Further, he came back with better playing skills and good behavior still intact. We’ll surely be back.”
“Kim was everything I had hoped for. She was kind and attentive and she let our Lily feel right at home, giving her the run of the house and yard, and her choice of comfy beds. She provided great communication and lots of pictures to help reassure us that all was going well. This was our first Rover experience and we feel very fortunate to have found Kim!”
“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
