“I can’t say enough about Joanna and John. I was very apprehensive about leaving my maltipoo with someone who had never watch my dog before. Add to that other small dogs my Sandy would be around and not sure how she would adjust. But it turned out so great. They also sent us away with a gift bag with a dog treat storage bag inside, a cute blanket and lovely card. Thanks so much for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Jeannette took good care of LuLu during the stay, and sent multiple pictures updates. I will definitely recommend and will book again if I need a sitter in the future! Thanks again Jeannette!”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Carlos provides customized and compassionate care! We left our older Beagle for 2 weeks with Carlos and he sent daily updates and photos. He modified her diet when her stomach wasn’t well and made sure she took all of her medications. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Maggie was in such great hands. If you are looking for attentive dog sitting, excellent communication and responsiveness, and peace of mind, then you should book Carlos!”
“Everything went fine. Drop off and pickup was smooth. Ingrid was pleasant. My beagle-mix came home nice and tired from the socializing. And, I got to enjoy my Thanksgiving out of town with family.”
“Lindsey was very responsive and sent photos of my boy every day. She took great care of him and he had so much fun playing with her dog he was exhausted when we came back home.”
“Henry was great watching our two dogs for 8 days. He was very responsive to any questions or information we were seeking. He was highly communicative sending pictures and updates. We could tell he genuinely cared about our dogs. Highly recommended.”
“Cindy was wonderful! We appreciated the opportunity for the meet and greet visit and the tour of her property. We felt great about leaving our dog in her care. Our dog Watson who generally is shy was able to adapt very quickly to the new environment and the professional care by Cindy! Thank you so much for giving loving attention to Watson!”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Jona! She recently cared for our two 4-year-old pugs, Ozzy and Otis, and it was truly the best pet-sitting experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, Jona went above and beyond. She kept us updated frequently with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every update that our pugs were not only being well cared for, but also genuinely loved. Both Ozzy and Otis can be a handful at times, but Jona handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Coming home, we were greeted by two very happy, relaxed pugs—which says everything you need to know. Jona treated them as if they were her own, and that level of care means the world to us. We wholeheartedly recommend Jona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter. She has set the standard so high that we can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our boys!”
“This was my dog’s (Ruby) first time in about 10 years to stay at someone else’s house for more than a day to be watched. Although Ruby had a tough time adjusting the first day of her stay, Iryna did an excellent job of communicating with me as much as possible about Ruby’s status and I was able to provide her more info about Ruby. Ruby is a very anxious dog, but Irnya was very understanding of Ruby’s situation and did everything she could to make Ruby comfortable. Thank you Iryna for looking after Ruby! We really appreciate your patience and care with her.”
“Kristi and Drew take such good care of our dog! They treat her like she’s one of the family, and I never have to worry about anything while we’re on vacation. I highly recommend them!”
“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”
“Victoria is once again a lifesaver . I was having painters at the house and Enzo was going to be in the way and I asked if she could take him overnight and she said yes right away and it all worked beautifully. They get along well.”
“Marcela is wonderful! I appreciate that she was able to take in my pup at the last minute. She sent daily photo and status updates. I was able to reach her when I needed and she would be super responsive. Prior to boarding, she was patient, answered all of my questions, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Thank you, Marcela!”
“Brianna was wonderful! The girls were well taken care of & had no issues giving them their pills every morning. Our girls will be back for another stay — we are so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“My babies LOVE Hayleigh. I actually think Sandy was a little sad when we first picked her up. Thank you Hayleigh for treating my babies like your own. We will definitely be using your services again.”

“Jessica was amazing! Brought in packages for us which was so generous. So good with the cats. Did a free meet and greet beforehand to learn ropes and meet our girls. Asked so many kind and thoughtful questions on how she can make our cats feel good while we are gone! cant wait to book her again!”
About: I've been taking care of cats within my circle of friends whenever they go out of town. I'm always their go-to person! I currently have a 3-year-old cat of my own. She is a shy little girl who takes a while to warm up to others. So, I naturally have the patience and experience to interact with shy or timid cats. As a fellow pet parent who uses Rover, I understand exactly how it feels to miss your cat while you're away. I will provide detailed updates on your cat's well-being, covering everything from their health to their mood.
“You should absolutely have Yiyi take care of your pets. She took care of my cat with extreme anxiety, he hides around everyone but me. She managed to get him to come out and allow her to pet him which is amazing! She also takes fantastic pictures- Highly recommended!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m happy to follow their usual schedule, from feeding and walks to playtime, cuddles, and medication if needed. My goal is to give your pets the same attention and care they receive at home while giving you peace of mind.
“Maddy was a great help while we were away on vacation. She checked on our cats and fed them. The daily check ins were so helpful to calm my anxiety. Thank you so much, Maddy!”
“manrong was communicative, reliable, clean, and great with both our highly anxious dog and cat. our cat has never come out for a sitter until we booked with her, which really spoke volumes. manrong also followed all my instructions and made adjustments when asked. she was patient and gentle with our babies so i felt completely at ease while we were gone. i’d definitely recommend her!”
“So glad we found Nazeeya! She was professional and thorough from start to finish. She was intuitive to our pet’s needs and communicated any irregularities she saw that may be cause for concern. She followed their care plan precisely and bonded quickly with our boy Wolfy. She went above and beyond to see that their needs were met and even brought in a huge house-plant package that was delivered while we were away. She did an excellent job and will definitely book with her the next time we travel.”
“Alexandra was such a great help. I submitted a last-minute request for someone to come feed my two little furry guys. She quickly responded and we went over the details for their care. She kept them fed and happy and provided me with great pictures/updates. I will definitely request her services again.”
“Sophie has cared for our cat multiple times now. We love having her! She always leaves things clean and shares a photo of the food bowl if he is too hidden away as he tends to be. The daily updates are brief, but we've had the reverse (long chatty updates with a super messy cat sitter) and prefer Sophie's reliability. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“Hope was wonderful! She kept us informed and followed through with everything we asked her to do. Unfortunately our shy kitties did not reward her with much of their presence. We know she has a busy year but if she has any time during Thanksgiving Holiday we would love her to sit for us again. Karen and John Elvira & Wednesday’s parents”
About: I’m newer to cat care, but over the past few years I’ve really grown to love cats through my friends and sister owning them. I’ve learned how sweet, loving, and unique their personalities can be, and I’d be happy to give your cat attentive and gentle care while you’re away.
About: Of all of the pets I have pet sat for, most of them were cats. I have worked with many different kinds of cats with various personalities making me very comfortable around cats. Cats are my favorite animals (sorry dogs I still love you!) and I have owned two. I have owned my current cat for 8 years now after me and my family rescued him from my dad's workplace when he was a stray kitten.
About: I grew up with cats my whole life. I have had cats from kittens to senior cats and medically complex ones. I fostered cats and kittens for 3 years and volunteer at my local cat shelter cleaning cages.

“I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
“Guojin was awesome from start to finish, they answered our booking request within minutes and were extremely responsive and communicative. I got tons of pics of my sweet dog and he looked so happy. Thank you for our last minute request”
“Great sitter! She was very well prepared, kept me updated throughout Hazel’s stay, and Hazel liked her immediately. I felt very comfortable knowing Hazel was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
About: In addition to being an approved foster home for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and one very cute hamster throughout my 48 years. After both of my senior rescue pups passed away from old age during Covid, I've really missed having a furry companion running around. I'm not quite ready to have my own pet full-time again but enjoy caring for others' furry friends between foster pups. Open to full day, evenings, or weekends. Seniors have a special place in my heart and are always welcome. I am very experienced with those that have special needs or medicines. I do ask that all pets are kid friendly as I have a 10 year old "trainer" that comes with me and really enjoys reading to the pups at bedtime. Though my son will keep his distance from dogs that are skittish, we want a safe and calm place for both the pet and child to stay when they're in our home. For stays in our home, especially those last minute needs, we have beds, crates, bowls, toys, and even various types of emergency food just in case. We're who you need in a pinch or if your flight is delayed on the way home. Boarding in our home always comes with multiple walks a day and often a fun adventure and patio time! Working from home makes flexible pick up and drop off scheduling a breeze for pups staying with me! I look forward to making your pet part of our family while you're away. Be sure to let me know if they'd enjoy the park and long walks or prefer a more laid back stay with extra cuddles or space to decompress and we'll adjust. We sit for many families in our neighborhood and several prior dogs have walked with us to and from school (Hi Georgie!)... while others have napped most of the day away. (Hi Duke, Lana, and Mimi, I'm looking at you!) Need me to pick up to make it easier to head out of town? Or deliver once you're home? I gotcha! I have a small fenced in yard and lots of open green space out back to keep your pup busy! Does your pet prefer a walk around the neighborhood? We'll show them around around and where the best town "gossip" is located. Our "fur-iends" who visit love to check their "pee-mails" and we know all the great spots. Have a well behaved pooch? Your pet will always have free range of my home, if they're most comfortable contained near their humans I can close off doors and block off stairs! We even have extra floor coverings for those a little older that appreciate extra traction when walking. Does the pup like crates better at night, just let me know and I'll follow your routine! We have a couple med/lg sized ones here I keep on hand, in case they're needed. I usually keep the doors off so they can use it as a safe place whenever they'd like unless mom or dad prefers otherwise! Safety is incredibly important to us so all animals will stay leashed outside and I have a 2 pet limit set on Rover so things stay calm and we have plenty of scratchies & snuggle time with the dogs who like to hang out with humans. Have a senior pup who wants to hide somewhere quiet? There's plenty of great hiding spots and we'll tote a bed over to their new favorite spot to keep them comfy.
“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”
“I can not recommend Heather more! She was amazing and so accommodating to our last minute request. She was knowledgeable, and very very friendly. I will 100% use her in the future and I highly recommend her services!”
“My shy and takes a while to warm up dog got really comfortable with Aimee and her husband over a couple of trial day care sessions. They’re boarding him over thanksgiving and my mind’s at ease knowing he’ll be well cared for in a wonderful home environment.”
About: I’m a Stay at Home Mom with 2 boys. We will be able to give your dog/precious furry child our full attention. *We only need your dog to be comfortable with elementary school age boys.* Your dog will stay active with us, we’ll do everything we can together! We recently lost our sweet dog of 14 years and we are only ready to babysit and care for dogs in our local area at this time. Not ready for our own yet! So there are no other animals in the home. Your dog will have 1:1 care. Let me know specifically how you care for your dog and I will do my best to make sure your dog feels loved and cozy! I think it’s really important to send videos and photos of your dog while you are away. I think it’s best to keep you updated. I will ALWAYS keep you informed of all activities and if I have any issues. I have a clean sweet home and would love your dog to add to its joy. As a stay at home mom and homeschool parent I have the time to care and give your dog attention he/she needs. Our family finds so so much joy in caring for dogs. After our dog passed, the void of a dog has been very weird, we love fitting time in our day to care for a special furry friend. We have a lovely walking neighborhood to give your dog the daily activity he/she needs. Our backyard is large and has so many squirrels for your dog to chase. I do not let a dog out and shut a door, the perk of not having a fence is that I am outside with your dog watching he/she as they run around the yard.
About: I believe that dogs deserve the best experience in life: Sun-bathing, free-running and healthy eating. With my care, I can ensure that the dogs will never want to leave! I am available at home everyday to play and take care of the dogs. I can take them out for walks and play frequently as well as clean them if they get too dirty from playing outside! I have a fenced yard with access of great sunlight and fresh air for the dogs to run around and play. Lots of land and toys for them to explore.
“Yichen is a great sitter! We had a meet and greet before our first stay so that she could get to know my dog better. I think thanks to that, my dog’s stay went smoothly the next day. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness, and I can tell my dog enjoys her stays at her place. Yichen has a playful shih tzu named Ube that my dog loves playing with. Overall, Yichen is a 10/10 sitter!”
“Ellis is so wonderful and sweet. She is always able to help out with my pup and updates me with photos throughout the day. She was available within such short notice and she is so reliable and amazing!!”
“Christy is everything you would want your Rover host to be. Logistically she checked all the boxes living not too far from major highway I took to my office. Easy to drop off/pick up and get back on the highway again. She responded quickly when I made an inquiry about a weekly daycare hosting for my shy miniature poodle. She demonstrated kindness and patience when our Meet and Greet began later than scheduled. During his stay, Christy texted pictures of Blinky going on a long walk or playing in the backyard. Lovely family took very good care of him. On the second day, I dropped Blinky off, he rushed through the front door without looking back. To me that said a lot because Blinky was not a social butterfly by any stretch of imagination. I can whole heartily give Christy five stars, just for that alone!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a young child, and have a deep love for animals. I have two fur babies of my own: one since he was puppy and the other since he was 1. I trained them both, and especially offered additional support and love to my one dog who was a rescue after being a surrender. I have incredible patience, and offer a safe, healthy, and loving environment for your precious fur baby. I currently work from home full time so your fur baby will never be deprived of attention. I have lots of dog toys, 2 dogs who are wonderful with other dogs, so your pup will have lots of stimulation. We will be sure to go on plenty of walks to get fresh air and time outside. Although I do not have a fenced yard, your pup will not have to worry about getting time outside. We will take plenty of walks. My 2 dogs are very social and love to interact with other dogs. If I am coming into your home, I will follow all directions you provide, and ensure your fur baby feels comfortable.
About: Started Rover since 2026. I have had dogs since I was a child and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I am a working professional, and I’m also married to a professional dog lover :). We have a very cute little Toy Goldendoodle girl of our own, and whenever we have free time, we enjoy socializing her with other friendly dogs. That’s one of the reasons we decided to join Rover — we genuinely love spending time with dogs and creating a safe, happy environment for them. Your dog will be treated like family in our home. 🐾 Extended stays may incur higher rates because pets are bathed often before being allowed on our beds. We bathe and lightly groom our furry loved ones, including nail trims as needed, and these are included in the price for extended stays. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. I work a structured professional schedule, which allows me to plan pet care consistently and responsibly. My wife is a professional dog groomer, so caring for dogs is truly part of our everyday life. We are home all day on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Due to our alternating schedules, one of us is also home on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday except for a few hours, and we make time every day for walks, playtime, and attention. Your dog will never feel ignored. We treat every dog like part of our family and ensure they receive supervision, affection, and proper care throughout their stay. We provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment where dogs receive constant supervision and personal attention. We limit the number of dogs we care for at one time to ensure quality care and safety. Our home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly with a fenced yard. We carefully manage introductions and monitor all interactions. With my wife’s professional grooming experience, we are skilled at understanding canine behavior and maintaining a calm, balanced environment.

Animals bring so much joy, and I want yours to feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so your pet will have company all day. I live in a townhouse in a beautiful, leafy neighborhood with lots of nature, perfect for long walks and meeting friendly neighborhood dogs along the way.

“Fantastic time for my pup! We learned she loves cats and now has a new best friend! My dog was having fun being chased around the house by a cat. Catherine was super flexible and very attentive to Cami as well as her whole family.”

“Emily was very kind to help me out on short notice. She made the extra effort to meet and greet with me and my dog before my appointment, which added a lot of peace of mind in trusting my dear pets and home to her care. Emily is a pro!”
“Marcela is a true professional. She is incredibly communicative, responsible, and knowledgeable. I am so grateful to her! My dog is not easy, but Marcela was amazing and made it work. Thank you so much Marcela, I’m so grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of two dogs and a cat of my own since I was 8 years old. At 16, I began pet sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. Most recently, I’ve been working at a local boarding and daycare facility in Reston. My years of experience in both personal and professional settings has given me the opportunity to work with all sorts of pets. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and special needs cats, I’ve learned an array of skills that have proven to be useful in any situation. I’m currently a college student taking classes fully online this semester, which means my schedule is extremely flexible. I don’t have other commitments, so I can be available during the day, evenings, weekends, and even late nights to fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I respect your space and follow your care instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I’m attentive on walks, always keeping a close eye on surroundings and using safe, secure handling to prevent pulling or accidents. In multi-pet households, I make sure each animal gets the individual attention they need. I know trusting someone with your pets is a big decision so I’ll always treat your furry family members like my own.
“Seth has been regularly watching our beloved dog for several weeks now. He is reliable; a fantastic communicator and most of all --- our dog most definitely approves of him! We really appreciate the extra exercise she gets with his walks during the day.”
“Lisa is absolutely amazing! My dog adores her! I know he is in great hands each time she has him. She is so attentive and follows the directions left. Lisa will always be my number one choice for Charlie!”
About: I recently got my own dog after years of waiting, and I’m loving every second of it! Growing up I’ve had both dogs and cats, and during my college years adopted a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I can handle reactive dogs just please let me know beforehand what their triggers are and the type of reactions they have I’m patient, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s vibe… whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. Currently working part time so I have a lot of availability. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am happy to work at those odd times of day I live in an apartment and have a dog of my own. We can go on walks, or take your dog to a fully fenced in park near me either on of off-leash.
About: I’ve been caring for animals over 20 years and am also a licensed veterinary technician. I’m comfortable with reinforcing training, giving medications, and caring for puppies/kittens to senior pets! I’m currently available for drop in visits in the morning and evening. I’d be happy to help care for your pet while you’re away from home! I am happy to follow instructions left by you for your pet while you’re away. Walks, playtime, or short training sessions. I’m also comfortable with administering medications and doing physical therapy exercises for your pet.
“Teju did a great job with Luna, who instantly liked her. Teju was kind, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving Luna in her care and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Thank you, Carson and Elizabeth! You were a huge help to me today when I really wasn’t able to give you more notice about my need for a dog walk. Much appreciated! I hope you enjoyed Enzo. The photos look like he had a good time too! Do you do walks only? Are there days other week you can’t do walks?”
About: We’re a pack of four - two dogs and two humans - and we’re always excited to welcome canine guests! Our 80 lb supermutt, Loki, and 60 lb pitty, Ginny, love visitors of all kinds (though so far, only humans and canines have been officially approved 😉). Our home is very dog-friendly, with plenty of toys and space to play including a fenced yard in the back. Your dog will be comfortable here, and we’re happy to accommodate any special needs to make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We offer overnight stays and only accept dogs who are house-trained. For everyone’s safety, guest dogs must be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and friendly with other dogs. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 We usually walk outside in the neighborhood or up by the Cougar school in the wooded area 2 times a day. Dogs are not alone for more than 2-3 hours per day. We have a large fenced yard that is accessible from the deck/kitchen, locked and unless your dog is a real athlete that can jump a 6ft fence, very safe for them to hang. The finished basement level is also available for dog play in a pack or individually. Also comes in handy to separate any nervous dogs, as needed.
“Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.
“Courtney was amazing! We had 13 long visits required over several days while we were away on a very important business trip. Courtney handled everything in a extremely competent and professional manner, keeping us informed while allowing us to do what we had to do on our trip. One of our dogs had a health issue and she even handled that in amazing fashion. Knowledgeable. Experienced. Reliable. Trustworthy. Communicative. And the dogs (and cats) loved her. Priceless peace of mind for us while away! Totally recommended. We’ll be back!”
About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.

“We had such a great experience! This family was incredibly welcoming and made my dogs feel right at home. Communication was excellent — they were quick to respond and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I especially appreciated how comfortable they made even my shy dog, who didn’t want to leave when it was time to go! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. 🐾 We had such a great experience!

“Cindy was wonderful! We appreciated the opportunity for the meet and greet visit and the tour of her property. We felt great about leaving our dog in her care. Our dog Watson who generally is shy was able to adapt very quickly to the new environment and the professional care by Cindy! Thank you so much for giving loving attention to Watson!”
“Kristi and Drew take such good care of our dog! They treat her like she’s one of the family, and I never have to worry about anything while we’re on vacation. I highly recommend them!”
“Erin and her family were wonderful with my dog. They were super welcoming and kept me up to date better than any other sitter we’ve used. They’ll be our new go to in the Northern VA area!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Catherine. It was obvious that he was well cared for. We could tell from the pictures that Catherine sent with regularity that he was happy and comfortable in her home. He came home today and settled very nicely right back into his routine. We also appreciated Catherine’s flexibility when our flights changed and we had to add on an extra night. We will definitely be using Catherine’s services again in the future.”
“Amie is wonderful! Our Moxie's tail started wagging when she recognized Amie's house, she knew she was about to get spoiled all weekend! This was our second time having Amie take care of Moxie and we will absolutely be checking her availability any time we need a dog sitter.”
“Poornima took excellent care of Lilly, as she was very happy and healthy when we brought her home! We were so happy to receive regular updates while we were on vacation. We'll definitely be using Poornima again!”
“Joy and her family were once again amazing in taking care of our aging furry boy. He’s always so happy to go there — and just as happy coming back home. We absolutely recommend them! They’re responsive, communicative, and truly caring. Until next time! We alternate between Joy’s family and one other sitter's family when one isn’t available, and honestly, I think my boy sees them as his extended family and respective homes. He’s one lucky boy — and so are we!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Our pup was happy! Cheryl and Gustavo were easy to communicate with, they sent us daily pictures and updates and took good care of our dog for 8 days. It was a relief to go away for the holiday and know our girl was having a Merry Christmas with someone else. Thank you, Cheryl & Gustavo!”
“My senior dog was so well taken care of, and came home happy, healthy and rested. I loved receiving photo updates while away on my trip, and I would definitely book with Miguelina again!!”
“Lee is the best! Our pup had a problem while we were away and needed some meds- Lee took care of it no questions asked. There is nothing like knowing your dog is being taken care of so well. Lee for the win, every time!”
“Jordyn took wonderful care of our senior dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has mobility challenges and needs a little extra help, and Jordyn was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring. It was obvious she treated her with kindness and affection. Our favorite update was that she was “cuddling Mr. Wolf!” When we picked her up, she came home happy, calm, and relaxed, which is the best indication of the care she received. We would absolutely trust Jordyn with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable sitter.”
“Matt was great with Duncan. I got daily updates and was very helpful working with my dogs noise anxiety. He kept music on for him and gave him his calming meds. Definitely will be using Matt again”
“Rachel is always responsive and wonderful to work with. Our dog is always happy to see her - a sign of good care. Appreciate her flexibility and great personality!”
