“Gail watched my baby (Clover) and I couldn’t be anymore excited to post this review! She took care of Clover like she was her own, she sent me 5-7 photos a day and updated me on how she was doing! 10/10 recommend Gail. I will be using her again to watch my baby the next time I go out of town!”


“Zuri was treated like a princess during her 3 week stay. She got loving attention from Serena, and was so happy playing with the other pups that we felt guilty bringing her home to just us! Serena is a true professional. She treats her pups and their parents with sensitivity, care and joy in her work.”

“My two sibling dogs so enjoyed staying with Hoa! As always, they got excited in the car knowing we were on our way. Hoa lets them run around and chase each other in her fenced back yard to their heart's content. Hoa provides toys, treats and interaction in a fun environment. Chewy and Reggie love "camp" at Hoa's house. I can travel in peace knowing they are safe and happy.”

“Kooper always enjoys his stay with Rachel. She's absolutely wonderful sending us frequent updates with photos. We definitely have peace of mind when leaving Kooper with Rachel.”

“Musa has been great with our kitty, Cheeto. Musa has looked after our kitty multiple times now. It takes a little time for our kitty to get used to a new environment, but Musa and his wife are very patient. Going to Musa's is like a mini vacation for Cheeto, now.”


“Veronica was awesome. Very easy to deal with. Our meet and greet went well, and she was flexible on the drop off and pick up times. We received photos of our dogs each day. This was our first time traveling without our dogs. We were nervous. Veronica made us feel comfortable. We will use her again.”

“Jessica was absolutely wonderful taking care of our cats! From the moment we met her, it was clear she truly loves animals and knows her way around even the more delicate aspects of cat care. She was extremely communicative—sending frequent updates, photos, and checking in on little details to make sure they were happy and comfortable. Not only did she follow our instructions perfectly (including meds, feeding schedule, and extra attention), but she also went above and beyond: keeping the house tidy, playing with our cats, and making sure they felt safe with all the new changes. We came back to a peaceful, relaxed home and two very content cats. We are so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

“Emily was awesome!!! We got back from vacation and I think our cat misses Emily more than he missed us. She was very attentive. Very great experience overall and we will defiantly use her again.”

“Caroline took amazing care of my girl, Stella. She was attentive to Stella’s needs and gave her the cuddles she requested each drop in visit. We will definitely have her back!”

“Samantha was amazing with my sweet girls! She made sure they received lots of attention, love, and care while I was away. When I unexpectedly had to extend my trip, she was incredibly flexible and graciously continued caring for them, which gave me such peace of mind. I truly appreciated the updates and knowing that Princess Leia and Stella Bella were in such good hands. They were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having Samantha look after them. Princess Leia and Stella Bella are going to miss you, Samantha! Thank you for everything—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter. ❤️”

“Cassie was fabulous as always! She was able to watch our cats for nearly two weeks on short notice. She took fantastic care of them and did a great job with communication after each visit. Will definitely have her watch the cats again in the future!”

“Yiyi was wonderful with our kitty. She took her time to play with him and report back to us about how was doing. I appreciated that she took time to meet with us in advance and let us learn a little more about her and how she works. Highly recommend her!”


“My kitty loves seeing Leigh. She is always on time and I love getting the pictures she sends everyday. Have used her services many times before and will continue to use. Thank you.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I don’t just consider pets as animals, they are family. I am very patient, loving and compassionate. Our German Shepherd recently passed away from lymphoma and we miss him dearly. I would like to share that love with your fur babies. I currently work from home Monday-Friday 9-5. I can do drop in visits and walks during the weekdays. Weekends are usually pretty open as well! We have a fenced in yard on the property. When we are in public, the pet is leashed. I am cautious to not let strangers/pets come up to us.

“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”

“Taylor was wonderful with our puppy! This was his very first time with a sitter, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She was patient, kind, and helped him warm up to her dogs quickly. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We feel confident about leaving him for boarding thanks to how well the day care went. Highly recommend!”

“We've been sending our dog to Wyatt's on a weekly basis for a few months now and it's been wonderful! He sends us photos of her playing around with her buddies in the large backyard, and she always seems happy and good-tired when she gets back home. We've also left her there for overnights; it's so good having a place you can feeling comfortable leaving your dog if you have to head out of town. Would definitely recommend Wyatt to anyone!”

“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”

“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.”

“AMAZING ROVER! One of the very best, if not the best, I've ever had (out of a dozen or more throughout my dog's lifetime)!! Top-notch, INCREDIBLE communication! Lovely home! Photos, videos, texts... I knew Diego was in OUTSTANDING hands while I attended a nearby wedding. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Jimin. Thank you SO much!!”


“Veronica always takes amazing care of our little Shih Tzu, Josie. She is very kind, and Josie gets so excited when it's time for her to go play with her furry friends! Thank you, Veronica!”
“m was incredibly accommodating and kind while caring for Sammi during daycare while I ran errands. Since Sammi is recently post-op, I was nervous about leaving her, but Jim was more than willing to learn exactly how to care for her and follow all of her special instructions. He was patient, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated how understanding he was of her needs during recovery. I would absolutely trust him with Sammi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care”


“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”


“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.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child. We had dogs of all kinds that were loved and cared for like our own children. I have tended to puppies up to senior dogs that require medication and special care. I currently am not working and have plenty of time to take care of pets and have a very flexible schedule. I will be available at anytime if want to reach out by text to check on your sweet pets. I have a fenced in yard, space to crate a dog and also can put gates if needed to keep dog in certain areas. I am also able to administer any medication if needed.

“Ann and Rick made my dog Winnie feel right at home and took great care of her during our recent very long day first visit. I received reports and photos during the day, which I very much appreciated. Even though we had done a successful meet and great beforehand and Winnie trotted into their house with only a brief look back, they felt she was a bit nervous and adjusted her day accordingly. I look forward to future bookings.”


“Jenny is incredible and took such amazing care of my baby boy! She was so flexible with timing, which helped us out more than she knows. She has a beautiful backyard, sweet pups of her own, and a wonderful family who made my dog feel right at home. I could tell he was loved, cared for, and having the best time while he was there. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I couldn’t recommend Jenny enough and would absolutely trust her with my boy again! ❤️🐾”


“This was my first experience with Rover, and I chose to book with Heather due to her exceptional 5-star ratings. Now, I'm thrilled to contribute another 5-star review myself. My dog was quite anxious during drop-off, being away for the first time, but Heather's continuous updates and photos of Joy throughout the day were incredibly reassuring. Witnessing my dog's evident happiness upon pick-up affirmed that she had been expertly cared for. Without a doubt, I'll be rebooking with Heather in the future.”

“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!”

“Ben has been a real blessing helping us walking Rocco. He responded last minute requests and it’s always very punctual and professional. Our dog Rocco loves to go on walks with him, he gets all excited every time he sees Ben and comes back happy and ready to nap after walking with Ben. Thanks a lot!”

“Courtney was fantastic with Oakley! She took the time to play with him during the walks and ensured he was put up in the crate with water for the rest of the day. Oakley loved his time with Courtney!”

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.

“Adelle is a great dog walker - she shows up on time and always gets the job done. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a pet sitter - she does a great job with my baby chihuahua Peaches. Because of her my little pup actually got potty trained faster and doesn’t go to the bathroom inside anymore.”


“Mel was so great with Jack! It’s so clear that she loves dogs and they love her too. She’s now my go to for all the dog walking and care needs I need help with. Can’t recommend enough”

“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”

“Emily is really responsive and took the cutest pictures of both my dog and cat. Detailed report cards that definitely show how much they enjoy their time with her and how much she cares. 10/10 would recommend”

Allow me to make your daily routine, or special occasion, a little simpler by ensuring your pet gets the care they need. Hmu! Most of my time during the week is for pet care, however I do work a part time job at Crumbl. With a little planning/preparation, it won't be a burden, pinky promise! Prioritizing any kind of instruction, keeping space between your pet and others, allowing them plenty of time to explore on walks and giving your pet plenty of lovins', are the most important to me to upkeep safety during any job.
“Argelia is amazing! She takes good care of my dog, provides great exercise and updates every bit of the way. She’s flexible, communicative and professional. Grateful to have her as a walker and know that my dog is safe/in good hands with her at all times.”

About: As someone who has grown up with dogs since the age of 3, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by the love and energy of pets.

Every dog has its own personality and needs, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention they’d get from you. ❤️ I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible and can easily adjust to your schedule needs, whether it’s extra walks, playtime, or just making sure your pet is comfortable and happy.

I am sure Obi will have a blast in September when he stays with this beautiful family again!”
