“Millie had so much fun at Ray’s house with Penny! Penny is such a sweet/gentle dog but matched Millie’s play style so well. There was a decent amount of updates/pictures and from that I knew Ray treated Millie like his own. He is super thorough and makes sure to really know the dog and their routine before even boarding. I will definitely be using Ray again in the future!”
“Jill and her husband, Sean, were so caring and provided excellent care to our dog, Rigby, while we went on a family vacation. Rigby had a great time based on the pictures and messages that we received while we were away. Those messages put my mind at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. We will definitely use them again when we plan future trips.”
“Xinyi is wonderful, would highly recommend her. She sent pics and videos that were reassuring and we were able to enjoy our vacation. She was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the stay. Thanks Xinyi, really appreciate you taking such great care of Leo.”
“I can't say enough great things about Lauren and her family! She's very caring and communicative, keeping us updated when our pup was suffering a bit of an upset stomach and taking care of him like he was her own.”
“William took excellent care of my pup Iris while we were out of town for a short get away. William and his goldendoodle Maui were great hosts and Iris came home wore out from fun and playing. She was one happy dog.”
“Ali did an amazing job watching our pup for five days! Cooper is an eight month old morkie who is going through a skittish phase with new people. Ali and her family put him right at ease and updated me with photos throughout the week. I could tell he was relaxed and felt right at home! Staying with a family was a much better option for Cooper than a kennel. I would highly recommend Ali and will be using her services again!”
“Ishita gets 5 stars for being a terrific host. She’s taken care of Baxter as her own, and was constantly updating his status, providing pictures along the way to provide us the assurance we needed. I strongly recommend Ishita for anyone looking for their pet boarding needs. Thank you, Ishita.”
“Johannah dogsat our doodle mix overnight at her house. She was very communicative and made sure she understood all of our pup’s needs. During the stay she kept us updated. I would recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, caring for them from their energetic puppyhood to their gentle senior years. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family. Raised with a deep love for animals—a passion passed down from my grandmother—I’ve spent years rescuing, fostering, and caring for pets of all personalities and needs. My husband and I currently share our home with a senior dog, an adult dog, and a cat. Since I am at home during the day and my husband also works remotely several days a week, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I'm usually at home during the day so I'm flexible to include you pet and I have a rutine with my dogs that include 2-3 walks a day and potty breaks in the backyard on demand. I have a fully fenced back yard where the dogs can explore unleashed and two dogs to make yours company. Also there are plenty walkables areas nearby for them to enjoy outdoors.
“Remy looked like he was very comfortable and happy with Andrew and his family! It was great to get some fun photo updates and hear how well Remy did settling in and being well taken care of.”
“Deborah and Lotus are AMAZING. They took just wonderful care of my nervous nelly Sweetpea and he was right at home there for a week. Deborah sent lots of pictures of walks, playing, and Sweetpea curled up happily snoozing and I felt so reassured knowing he was in great hands. We will be repeat customers for sure! THANK YOU!!!!!”
“Blanca was an amazing sitter. She helped me out in a pinch with a last minute, kept me updated during my little guys stay, and showed him lots of love. I would definitely recommend her to folks on this platform!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I cannot imagine it being a better experience. Katie and Adam were simply amazing. After our meet and greet I knew Murphy (our 9 year old mini labradoodle) would be in good hands but wow, he was on vacation at a 5 star resort. They took such great care of him - took him on many walks, loved him and just all the way around treated him like part of their family. I actually think he might be a little depressed about being back home!”
“Leslie is THE BEST! We were a little worried because this was the first time we left our dog with someone new, but after doing a meet and greet we knew our dog Roxy would be in great hands. During the stay she sent us plenty of pictures and videos updates and Roxy was smiling on them haha we could tell she was happy and enjoying her time with Leslie. She took her on walks, concert, dog park and gave her plenty of cuddles, which Roxy is a big fan! I would/will recommend Leslie to friends and family and here too! She will be the best person to take care of your furry baby with lots of love and fun! Again, thank you Leslie!!!”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Juli was great with our dog and provided lots of updates on how she was doing on her first weekend away from home. I will definitely be booking future stays with her. Thanks so much!”
“Sophia was fantastic. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play and explore. She is great about sending pictures every day to let us know how Cooper was doing. Very easy to schedule. Would definitely use her again.”

“Lissa provided top notch service and made me feel very comfortable trusting her in my home with my kitties. This was my first Rover experience, and I will definitely use the service again. Hopefully Lissa will be available!”
“Couldn’t be happier that I can trust someone like Cassidy to take care of my cats when I am away. She is extremely kind and takes great care of them. She communicates very well with me and is always so nice when we chat about the cats and how they are doing. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Yekaterina is awesome! Friendly, responsive, communicative and especially kind and caring to our elderly girl, Mamie. We really appreciate Kat and hope we can work with her regularly. The next time we might decide to a weekend trip instead of only a day away and we can rest assured that our girl will be well cared for! Kat is A+!”
“Did a great job taking care of our cat! Lots of pictures and messages keeping us up to date on her. Very punctual and followed directions for our cat's care and how to lock up the house for the last day. Also spent good quality time petting and playing with her in addition to feeding her, and checking the litterbox.”
“Abigail took great care of Cinders and Pepper whole their owners were away for the weekend. She followed all care instructions, gave them their medications, and spent a good deal of time with them so they didn't get lonely. We'll definitely think of Abigail again for next time!”
“Sarina was attentive and took great photos for us in her first time sitting our two cats. We greatly appreciated her staying around for more than just a five minute feeding and spending time with them.”
About: In my experience, cats are much more comfortable in their own homes, with visits from a caretaker person. I have had cats and been around cats all my life. I understand cats and won’t push them to be friendly if that’s not the cat’s personality. Kittens are another matter entirely. Please know that if they are destructive or high-energy, that is going to be a problem.
“Skylar was great. We only needed him to put wet food in our cat's dishes and empty the litter box while checking on their dry food and topping off the water fountains. We knew our cat's would be hiding from him. He readily followed our instructions and even moved a toy for them and took out our trash.”
“Brooke did a wonderful job watching our three cats. She got along well with our crotchety senior Siamese, which takes some doing. She also tried to figure out where Manny's new hidey hole is but he was just a little too good (or exceedingly neurotic) this time. She did a wonderful job of communicating and providing details for each visit. I'd recommend Brooke.”
About: I’ve been a devoted cat lover and caregiver my entire life, with deep experience caring for cats of all stages—from energetic kittens to gentle seniors with special routines. Inspired by my grandmother, over the years, I’ve rescued, fostered, and cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. I understand that cats deserve specialized, thoughtful care that respects their unique habits and routines. I’m fully comfortable with everything from engaging playtime and grooming to gentle social training for timid rescue cats. My husband and I currently have a cat in our home (alongside our two dogs). Whether your cat needs meticulous litter box maintenance, structured feeding schedules, or just a calm, reassuring presence while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’d love to help take care of your furry feline!
“Jillian did drop in visits for our two cats while we were away for about ten days. The cats were alive and well when we returned. She was very responsive to any of my questions/concerns and understanding of the novel length instructions I left. Thanks Jillian!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of my cat, Mya, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was kind, professional, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about animals. The biggest compliment I can give is that my cat, who is normally very shy and doesn’t trust many people, became comfortable with Jennifer. That meant a lot to me and showed how patient and caring she was. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!”
About: I have two cats who are part of my family: Copita, who is 7 years old, and Lucas, who is 5. I'm usually attentive and understanding regarding their space and their moments of madness. I've been working officially as a cat sitter in my country for a year now, so I know their basic care needs and any complex needs they might have.
“Carey is everything you want in a pet sitter. She's reliable, caring and goes above and beyond what my past sitters have done (the litter box area had been swept!) Our cat is 14 with kidney disease, so leaving him is stressful, but with Carey's experience as a vet tech, I felt more relaxed on my trip than I have in awhile bc I know she'd recognize if he wasn't well. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for our next vacation.”
“Cameron was great! She did a meet and greet with us which made us both feel more comfortable and then had no issues taking care of our cat. She’s also very communicative and responds quickly!”

About: 30+ Years of Experience: Puppies to Seniors I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over three decades, caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how to read canine body language and cater to different life stages: Puppies: Patient with potty routines, basic manners, and high-energy play. Seniors: Gentle, attentive, and experienced with mobility support, low-impact routines, and administering oral or topical medications on a strict schedule. Work-From-Home Care & Supervision. Holiday rate apply for these dates. 10/29 - 11/3; 11/21 - 11/29; 12/19 - 1/3; 3/20 - 3/28 As a self-employed professional working full-time from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. Whether they need a mid-day bathroom break, a play session, or just someone present to keep them company while I work, I offer consistent supervision and a calm, reliable routine throughout the day. Pet-Friendly Home & Spacious Fenced Yard Our entire home is fully set up for dogs! We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. We also have one high-energy, super-friendly resident dog who loves meeting new friends and playing with our furry guests. If your dog prefers a buddy to burn off energy with, they’ll have a built-in playmate here. Active Walks & Nearby Trails I love staying active! Living right near several fantastic walking trails makes it easy to provide fresh air, structured exercise, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog's fitness level—whether that’s a lively stride on the trails or a relaxed sniff-walk around the neighborhood.
About: "I have loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me for daily feeding, active exercise, playtimes, and reliable check-ins. I take pride in providing a safe, attentive, and comforting environment so your fur babies feel loved, calm, and right at home while you’re away." I currently work with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I am available for weekend boardings and weekday care after 2 PM. My days are structured to ensure regular walks, playtimes, and consistent care for your furry friend Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced, secure yard for safe playtime and two friendly dogs who love making new buddies. My home is a clean, pet-proofed, and cozy environment. I can easily accommodate crating if preferred, and I’m dedicated to following your exact care routine to make your dog feel right at home
About: I've had pets my whole life and know how much it matters to leave yours somewhere you trust. Your dog will be part of the household here — not crated in a back room — with plenty of attention, a regular routine, and photo updates so you know how the day is going. A few things to know about my setup: I have a yard, but it isn't fenced, so all potty breaks and outdoor time are leashed and supervised. Never off-leash. I have one dog of my own, a friendly female Bernedoodle named Dorothy. She's good with other dogs, and I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone for long stretches. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. For walks, I'll stick to whatever route and pace your dog is used to, and I'll let you know how it went. Happy to set up a free meet-and-greet before booking anything. My schedule is completely my own so I can tailor my day to what your dog is used to. Our usual routine is a walk/run in the morning and a walk with the whole family in the evening. Dorothy is crate trained and so can be right next to your dog to keep them company. I have a good sized yard where I can let the dogs out on leashes and a fenced in deck if they want to be outside. I live 5 minutes from an animal hospital and am used to the random ailments that come with taking care of dogs.
“Daphne took great care of Joey. She is super friendly, easy to communicate with and very attentive to Joey’s needs / behaviour. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you 😊”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my calm, patient, and gentle approach to each dog. I pay close attention to their body language, needs, and comfort. I'm especially good with puppies who need gentle guidance and basic training, as well as with older dogs who require more leisurely walks, extra care, and a loving, comforting presence. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with the same kindness, respect, and affection I would want for my own. I recently moved and have free time since I have online classes during the week on alternate schedules, so I have time to play with your little ones and shower them with warmth and attention. Within my family, three of them are a furry friend named Balu who is 7 years old, a cat named Copito who is 6 years old, and a kitten named Lucas who is 5 years old. I am used to taking care of them and keeping them under constant supervision, not only in their diet but also in their physical and emotional well-being.
About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.

About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.
“Kiran and his dogs Mysti and Maya were great company for my 65 lb lab-pitt mix Dudley. Dudley would run to the door every morning waiting to go see them and return home in the evening satisfied and tired. Kiran is super friendly and considerate. I hurt my leg one evening, on my way home from work, and Kiran was kind enough to squeeze in one extra walk right before I retrieved Dudley to get him to poop so I wouldn’t have to with my bum leg. This is after he kept Dudley for a very long day. I highly recommend his services and am saving him to my « favorites » list. :) Thank you, Kiran!”
“Jennifer hosted our dog for doggy daycare. He had an absolute blast and became best friends with her and her lovely dog Sunny. Jennifer sent cute pictures and great, detailed updates. Our dog can’t wait to return!”
“I had a great experience! Kaylyn and Naman accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of my dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”

Our own family has included Whippets, Labs, Shepherds, Mastiffs, Basset Hounds, and Chihuahua mixes, and as sitters and fosters we’ve cared for many more breeds—including Bulldogs, Retrievers, Huskies, Poodles, Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. 🐕 🐕🦺 🦮 🐩 One of us is working toward dog-training certification, and we both have puppy-training experience. 🦮🚶♀️ We gently reinforce good habits, routines, and leash manners through patience, consistency, TLC, and positive handling. Most importantly, we understand that every pet has its own personality, pace, and needs. As home owners ourselves who have lived in three different neighborhoods in the DMV, we specialize in providing attentive, respectful, and reliable care while keeping your pets comfortable in the surroundings they know best--your home! When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family. Our home is set up with safety and comfort in mind, with a secure fenced yard, indoor gates, and separate spaces when pets need a little room of their own. Our designated pet areas—including our family room—are cleaned at least once daily and stocked with plenty of blankets, toys, and chew toys. 🪢 🥎 🧺 (See photos attached to our profile).

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a while and genuinely really enjoy it. I’ve taken care of dogs with all kinds of personalities, from super energetic and playful to the ones that just want to hang out and sleep all day lol. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding, and I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and feels comfortable with me, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. Since I’m in school and only working part time, I have plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and consistent care. I enjoy using that time to be active and spend it with pets, so it’s a perfect fit for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of attention, playtime, and care as if they were my own.
About: （Price is for dogs, cats have discount) I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs for over 8 years. From small cutie to big buddy (100lb+). I live in a house with a unfenced yard, so there are plenty of space for our furry friends. I’m working remotely at home. So my schedule is pretty flexible. I can bring them out on morning and noon for a small walk. And can walk them longer after work. I live in a house with a yard( not fenced). I have two cats and a dog. My dog loves play with other dogs. Also cats and dogs can be isolated.
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Over the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with rescue organizations, fostering puppies as young as 1–2 weeks old. This has involved full-time care- feeding, socialization, basic training, and monitoring their health - until they are ready for their forever homes. Because I’ve cared for so many dogs at different stages of life, I’m very attentive to routines, diet needs, medical instructions, and behavior changes. I’m calm, patient, and confident handling shy, energetic, or anxious dogs, and I make sure each pet feels secure and comfortable from the moment they arrive. Safety and communication are extremely important to me. I follow owners’ instructions closely, maintain a clean and structured environment, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. Whether it's a puppy, an adult dog, or a senior with special needs, I’m committed to giving every animal the same level of care and consistency I give my own. My wife (a full-time homemaker) and I ensure that your furry family member is never left alone while staying with us. One of us is always home, providing constant supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their visit. Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced, secure play area and 2–3 walks per day. We live on 2 acres of land with plenty of open space for safe exploration and exercise, along with an 11,000 sq. ft. home that provides ample room for your pet to relax and feel comfortable.
“My pup had a great day hanging out all day and is totally pooped. Shows how much fun he had at Staci’s! Highly recommend and her pup Cooper is also such a sweetheart. Can’t wait to send my pup over again!”

“Vinny's very reliable and great with dogs, and has been super helpful to me a few times when I had an issue with either booking a walk or changing a booking. I'd recommend Vinny to anyone.”
About: I have had several dogs but do not currently have any pets. I have had to give medicine to dogs and lots of experience with puppy “accidents”. I’m a teacher, so during summer and breaks I have lots of free time. I have two boys, both of whom love animals. They would love to have a pet visit our home. I can only house-sit when I don’t have my children with me, but can board an animal anytime. Important to note that during the school year my Friday availability is evening only. I have a fenced yard. At my home, I can almost guarantee your dog or cat would get to sleep in a child’s bed and be loved like family. At your home, I would respect any rules you have set.
“Amazing dog walker! She was reliable, professional, and took great care of my dogs. They absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would hire her again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”
“I had my son’s wedding and was desperately looking for someone to come let my 2 dogs out both weekend days. One of my dogs can be particular who she lets in the house. From the first minute Skylar came in the house Maddie liked him & never hesitated to go for her walk. Skylar seemed to know exactly how to connect with her. Skylar was very flexible when our times changed a few times when i needed him to come feed and let out the dogs. Because I knew the dogs were in good hands it allowed me to enjoy the wedding without worrying. I am going to continue to use him in the future for dog walks & drop ins. I highly recommend Skylar for any pet needs you have.”
“Sarina is so great! I never need to worry about the care my little rescue pup gets with her. She is so attentive and loving towards him and makes sure he has enough time to acclimate to her being their to walk him instead of me. She always takes pictures of him so I know he’s in good hands!”
“Skyler was wonderful with my dog, Cooper! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates during the visit, and made sure he got his evening medication. Cooper seemed really comfortable with her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated her communication and the great care she took of him. I would absolutely book with Skyler again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a teacher who is looking forward to working with pets! I have had my own dog for 10+ years and have taken care of other dogs as well! Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am also an active dog sitter who lives near Algonkian Park! During the academic school year my availability is a little different, but my summer schedule is very flexible. I love spending time with my own dog and will take her out during various parts of the day if the weather allows. I firmly believe that pets are such important members of the family and giving them all the care and love is priority! When I care for pets, I make sure they are fed, taken outside on their daily walks and have some fun! When going on a walk, I make sure to carry a water, portable water bowl, bags and treats. I also check the temperature and make sure the heat index has not surpassed the recommended temperature for walking dogs. When feeding pets, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule and the amount recommended by their owner. I also check with the dog owner, if the pets have any allergies, medication or other health concerns. I ensure a safe, loving and welcoming space for each pet. My summer days are super flexible. I am also open to do super early walks, or late check-ins for dogs. My schedule during the day is open. I’m also available to housesit during the weekends. I try to update my calendar every two weeks. I treat any pet as my own pet. I ensure that they are comfortable, that they are fed, that they are also having fun and they feel safe. I know changes can sometimes cause pets to become anxious, and I want to ensure that while their human goes on trips, or is away, they are feeling like they are taken care of and feel safe!
About: I have 3 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large ones. I'm comfortable with crate trained dogs, feeding schedules, and potty breaks. I treat every dog like my own, patient, attentive, and consistent with routines they're used to. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can take time off whenever needed to accommodate walks, so I'm able to work around your dog's routine rather than squeezing them into a rigid time slot. Since I only offer walking services, your dog stays in their own home environment, I just come to you, Our neighborhood has safe, quiet sidewalks with little traffic, plus nearby trails for those who enjoy a change of scenery. Walks are relaxed and steady, never rushed, so it's a calm, enjoyable experience for dogs of any energy level.
“Marti is amazing! My pup absolutely adores her! Marti’’s incredibly reliable, responsive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup is happy and well cared for. It’s clear my pup is in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life from family dogs to favorite neighborhood dogs. After adopting our dog Rory in 2022, I came to truly understand the dedication that goes into caring for a dog and the many benefits of having such a wonderful companion. I am committed to bringing the same patience and attention to every pup I care for. I am experienced with separation anxiety and know the importance of being sure your dog feels safe and secure while you are out. I have the summers off so am able to care for dogs throughout the week and weekend. During the school year I am available on weekends and some holidays. I strive to build a trusting relationship with all dogs I interact with. I like to incorporate “sniffy” walks to allow dogs a chance to explore and engage their senses.

“Millie had so much fun at Ray’s house with Penny! Penny is such a sweet/gentle dog but matched Millie’s play style so well. There was a decent amount of updates/pictures and from that I knew Ray treated Millie like his own. He is super thorough and makes sure to really know the dog and their routine before even boarding. I will definitely be using Ray again in the future!”
“Jill and her husband, Sean, were so caring and provided excellent care to our dog, Rigby, while we went on a family vacation. Rigby had a great time based on the pictures and messages that we received while we were away. Those messages put my mind at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. We will definitely use them again when we plan future trips.”
“Xinyi is wonderful, would highly recommend her. She sent pics and videos that were reassuring and we were able to enjoy our vacation. She was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the stay. Thanks Xinyi, really appreciate you taking such great care of Leo.”

“William took excellent care of my pup Iris while we were out of town for a short get away. William and his goldendoodle Maui were great hosts and Iris came home wore out from fun and playing. She was one happy dog.”
“Johannah dogsat our doodle mix overnight at her house. She was very communicative and made sure she understood all of our pup’s needs. During the stay she kept us updated. I would recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, caring for them from their energetic puppyhood to their gentle senior years. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family. Raised with a deep love for animals—a passion passed down from my grandmother—I’ve spent years rescuing, fostering, and caring for pets of all personalities and needs. My husband and I currently share our home with a senior dog, an adult dog, and a cat. Since I am at home during the day and my husband also works remotely several days a week, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I'm usually at home during the day so I'm flexible to include you pet and I have a rutine with my dogs that include 2-3 walks a day and potty breaks in the backyard on demand. I have a fully fenced back yard where the dogs can explore unleashed and two dogs to make yours company. Also there are plenty walkables areas nearby for them to enjoy outdoors.
“Remy looked like he was very comfortable and happy with Andrew and his family! It was great to get some fun photo updates and hear how well Remy did settling in and being well taken care of.”
“Deborah and Lotus are AMAZING. They took just wonderful care of my nervous nelly Sweetpea and he was right at home there for a week. Deborah sent lots of pictures of walks, playing, and Sweetpea curled up happily snoozing and I felt so reassured knowing he was in great hands. We will be repeat customers for sure! THANK YOU!!!!!”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Juli was great with our dog and provided lots of updates on how she was doing on her first weekend away from home. I will definitely be booking future stays with her. Thanks so much!”
“Perry was super easy to communicate with while she was caring for my dog. She does a great job in following directions and will care for your pup with how you need him/her to be cared for while you’re gone.”
“Helen did a great job with our dog, Sofi, who can sometimes be wary of people she doesn't know, but she warmed up to Helen fairly quickly. Helen was very patient and attentive to Sofi's needs, and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which is much appreciated!”
About: I grew up with dogs and now have two dogs of my own! I know what it’s like to leave your fur babies and will treat them like my own! I’ve cared for puppies to elderly dogs, high energy to low energy. My dogs get along very well with dogs of all ages and sizes! I can’t wait to watch your fur babies! I work full time (hybrid) but always make time for my high energy pups! Whether that’s a long walk, run, a game of fetch or a swim, I’ll make the time to give your pet what they need. I have two very friendly pups for your fur baby to play with. Plenty of parks in the area for outside activities. My house is dog safe and very clean!
“Valerie is a 5-star host with great communication before and during the stay. Kyber was able to meet with her own dogs to ensure a comfortable stay was going to be had by all and that the fur-parents were comfortable with each other. She made the drop-off and pick-up seamless for the 5 day/night stay. Photos and videos were shared several times each day putting my mind at ease just knowing that his first time away from us was absolutely comfortable and enjoyable. When the weather was not cooperating she found alternatives to accommodate the playtimes and exercise needs with lots of cuddles and playtime in the yard. I highly recommend Valerie and her care whether it be for a short stay or an extended, your fur-babies are in loving and caring hands. * We will definitely be using Valerie and her services again in the future. Kyber cannot wait to play with his new friends again soon!”
About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family off and on for most of my life, but within the last couple years I’ve started to branch out more. In the last couple years I’ve spent almost as much time away from home taking care of other people’s dogs as I have at my own place. I have cared for dogs of all different sizes, quantities, and temperaments. I’m currently on the job hunt. I was previously balancing dog sitting with my work as a sales person but I’m in the process of transitioning away from sales. So right now I’m free any time of the week to take care of animals and my free time is spent job hunting. I’ve take care of dogs with all kinds of different needs. Whether it’s long walks to help with energy levels, making sure they’re getting the medication they need, and I’ve even taking care of injured dogs that need help getting around the house. I’m happy to accommodate any needs your dog may have.
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
