“Maria is awesome! She cared for my 17 year old with care and made sure she ate and got her pills. My old girl was comfortable with Maria and her pups. My little guy was well taken care of as well. He is a finicky eater and Maria made sure he got his meal and pills on time. I have a 13 day trip in two weeks and I have booked Maria again to host them for that time. I know they will be well cared for while I am away. Thank you Maria!!”
“My Luna baby is not great with new people but Kristin made her feel so at home!! She is truly amazing and eased all our worries!! If I could give 10 starts I would”
“Kathy was super easy to book with and sent multiple photos and updates while Penny was boarded at her house. Penny seemed to love Kathy’s large backyard and grass area. I’ll definitely be booking again for boarding and some dog walks.”
“Michelle and Sam are WONDERFUL!! Our dog Cookie is always SO excited to see them and to be with their dogs as well. Loving, wonderful, kind, AMAZING! Thank you both.”
“Ashley was a wonderful host to our aged Barkley. He seemed like his happy self when we picked him up. Thank you so much Ashley!! We would certainly use your services again!! The Topal Family”
“If caring for a diaper-wearing senior cat were an Olympic sport, Kizzie would be taking home the gold medal every time! She consistently goes above and beyond for our beloved Ginger, handling all of her special needs with ease, compassion, and a smile. On top of that, Ginger gets unlimited snuggles, affection, and VIP treatment at no extra charge. It's obvious Ginger feels right at home with Kizzie, and she doesn't even seem to mind Moco's enthusiastic attempts at friendship. Knowing Ginger is safe, comfortable, and loved gives us incredible peace of mind whenever we're away. We couldn't recommend Kizzie more highly. She's dependable, caring, and absolutely wonderful. As far as we're concerned, Ginger has already picked her favorite sitter, and it's Kizzie!”
“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! My pup loved them since the first moment he met them. They kept me updated and my pup looked so happy! I highly recommend them!”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Colleen went over and above with my very old dog, Hadji. Other guys can be quite a challenge, but when I picked him up after a week away, he was calm, rested, and happy. Thanks, Colleen, for taking such good care of my old boy!”
“Linda was wonderful and Nuggie was very well taken care of. She took him on frequent walks and provided updates throughout his stay. I would recommend and have my pets stay with her again without hesitation!”
“My dog, Mowgli, had an amazing time with Jenessa! She shared videos and photos with me every day, which I really appreciated. I had absolutely no issues with her—she was reliable, caring, and communicative. I highly recommend her. Book her without a second thought!”
“Our dog always has the best time with Lance! Toffee comes home so happy everytime! He looks like he’s pupped out after playing with all the dogs and enjoying his stay! Highly recommend Lance!”
“Shamaeka was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my dog! She consistently kept me up-to-date on his status, provided lots of pictures twice a day, gave him lots of love and attention, and was extremely understanding and accommodating when I had a delayed flight. I would absolutely recommend Shameka to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I intend on using her again. 5 Paws from Cannoli as well!”
“Gracie was so happy and clearly enjoyed her time with Quang! Very responsive and received lots of photo updates! 😃 Will definitely be booking with Quang again! Thanks for taking care of our girl! 😀”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience! I received multiple updates, photos and videos of my dog while she was in Ren's care. I was able to rest easy knowing Butters was having a great time, and being well cared for! Would Absolutely use Ren again in the future!”
“This was first boarding experience at sitters home for my pet and Kenny took real good care and made sure to provide updates almost everyday and also provided good insight into my dogs behavior especially with another dog. Kenny also made sure to go one step above and made sure to accommodate my last minute pickup and drop off changes. I definitely recommend Kenny !!”
“Vicki was wonderful! My dog Bob had a wonderful time with her and Jeff and, of course, their two dogs. I am sure he especially enjoyed having a backyard again to roam in and explore. I recommend her enthusiastically!”
“My pup radiates happiness when she arrives at Kimiko's house and in every photograph and video. The dogs' relationships are obviously very intentionally evaluated and Kimiko lays the groundwork for positive relationships.”
“Lili had a wonderful weekend stay with Dana. It was our first time using Rover and Dana set our minds at ease. She shared photos of Lili playing with the other dogs and we knew that she was in good hands from the get go. Glad to have Dana caring for our dog!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jean-Paul. We have had a tough time finding a cat sitter capable of dealing with our grumpy cat, but Jean-Paul was not deterred and handled him without issue. He gave all feedings and administered medication with ease and took extra time to give both our cats some love and playtime. He paid special attention to the litter box and water dishes, as well as the state of our house while we were away, even checking on our plants and opening some windows to air out of he house when it was unseasonably warm. His updates were informative and humorous, and put our minds at ease while we were away. Any cats would be lucky to get to hang out with Jean-Paul while their owners are away!”

“Excellent experience with Shannon & Bert with Doggy Day care. . Max was very well taken care of, with updates via photos and messages. I highly recommend Shannon and Bert. Will definitely book with them again. Thank you Shannon & Bert!!!”
“This was my 1st time with Daniel & Joelle, who were very accommodating. My pup did a day long to get used to them & see if she'd be a good fit for a week upcoming boarding. Everything went well. Meelo is a very sweet old guy, which is great for my pup who's been bullied & is shy at first. Though it was her 1st day & so somewhat anxiety provoking to be left, she still seemed relaxed when I picked her up & asked everyone for scratches & pets during the day. It also seemed she took a liking to their daughter Esther:) She'll try a week there a few weeks from now.”
“My 5 month old puppy had an amazing time playing with all the dogs at daycare and getting very muddy! Sara went above and beyond and returned to me a happy, exercised, and clean dog.”
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”
“Andrea is lovely and was really great with my dogs. She is super easy to communicate with and my dogs were very comfortable with her. I will highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly bring my dogs back the next time I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
“Jennifer was a lifesaver. My regular pet sitter cancelled on me last minute a couple hours before I was scheduled to be at work. I had to scramble to find another pet sitter on Rover. Jennifer responded quickly and was so accommodating. She had a scheduled doctor appointment that she went to early so she could take care of my dog. She even offered to pick up my dog for me to save me a trip since her house was in the opposite direction of where I work. It was stressful having to find a sitter for my dog last minute but Jennifer took great care of my dog. She sent photo updates and messages throughout the day letting me know how my fur baby was doing. I would 100% recommend Jennifer's services to anyone looking for an accommodating and caring pet sitter”
“Michelle and Samuel were so wonderful with our dogs! I can’t say enough positive things about our experience. This was the first time leaving our dogs with someone at their home so I was nervous but Michelle and Samuel were receptive to our questions and instructions. They communicated frequently with us and sent us lots of pictures and videos. Our dogs were so happy and tired when they came home. I never thought I could find people I trusted with my dogs but now I have. We will be using them again!”
“She did an amazing job with our dog! She was very flexible and able to take him on last minute. She kept us updated on how he was doing and very responsive to us through his time there. If we lived locally, we definitely would be back.”
“Anthony has been so wonderful to work with for our fur baby! He is very caring and lets us k is how her day went as well as how she ate etc. We love the pictures of her playing with his pups and napping and the best endorsement was how excited she was next time we took her. My husband said she could hardly wait to get through the door! Thank you, Anthony! 🐾”
About: Very knowledgable in pet nutrition and supplement. Can advise on a special diet if needed. Can provide basic/ obidience training + bathing with trimming nails. I am a early bird with tons of energy. I start my day with walks, work in the garden till noon, clean around the yard and last walk before the sun goes down! I have a fenced backyard and a friendly lil corgi to keep your dog company. All dangerous chewables are away and all toys are out to play
“Was very pleased with Nathaly and her fur baby, Stella. Appreciated updates of photos and videos that was comforting to know Tobie was doing okay. Was also great to have another German shepherd to play with Tobie. Stella was a bonus in helping Tobie adjust. My Tobie came home tired and ready to sleep. Though Tobie still needs training, Nathaly took time to help Tobie. I would definitely request for Nathaly again. Thank you Nathaly and Stella!!!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life with dogs—from childhood through today. I’m the devoted parent of two spoiled, deeply loved Chinese Crested dogs. I have experience working with different breeds, personalities and individual needs, including senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule, and will have plenty of time to care for, play with and walk your dogs while they’re in my care. BOARDING In my world, dogs are family, not pets. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and yes, spoiling, that my own dogs enjoy every single day. They are welcome to sleep in the bed, on the couch or in any place that gives them comfort. I have a fully fenced yard that they can enjoy as well. I’ll follow your specialized instructions for feeding and other routines. You can expect to receive photos and updates while they’re with me. DOG WALKING I offer flexible dog walking services tailored to your pup’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break, a leisurely stroll or an adventure. I will make sure they get the exercise, fresh air and attention they deserve while staying safe. DROP IN VISITS I’m able to handle feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care while keeping your pup happy and comfortable at home. You’ll get photo updates with each visit for peace of mind.
About: Raised around dogs (and cats) and would love to care for your pets in my home or yours. Comfortable with senior dogs as well as others. I am retired and available any time. I would need a couple of days' notice, preferably. I live in an apartment with a beautiful dog-walking area and nearby parks to walk in. I no longer have pets of my own, having just lost my 17-year-old Rat Terrier. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats. I can administer medications and make sure they feel safe with me. I don't push, but let them come to me when they feel ready. Separation from you is anxiety-inducing, and I do my best to calm them and let them now they are not alone.
“I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Matt is awesome! Great communication before our dog Marco’s stay and we absolutely loved following along with the dog pack via Matt’s Instagram! Marco can’t wait to come back, thanks so much!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and have had 3 dogs of my own in my adult life. All of my dogs have had special needs, so I feel I can provide your pets with the best care!

I can do daily walks, drop in visits, etc. I have a fur baby of my own who can keep your pup company. Additionally, I have a nice secluded backyard to provide outdoor time.
About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk

“Absolutely incredible! Tons of updates & pictures, lots of play time! Doggies had a mini vacation and never wanted to come home :) Highly recommend Joshua! He truly is the best!”
“We had a great experience with Luisa watching our poodle just shy of a week. She was fast to respond to my inquiry about watching our dog and scheduling a meet and greet. We received pictures everyday and even a video of our dog while she stayed with Luisa. Talking with Luisa at the meet and greet I could tell she genuinely loves taking care of the animals that come to stay her and her family. It really put our minds at ease while we were away. I will definitely reach out to Luisa for our future travel plans.”
“Gracie was so happy and clearly enjoyed her time with Quang! Very responsive and received lots of photo updates! 😃 Will definitely be booking with Quang again! Thanks for taking care of our girl! 😀”

“I could not have chosen a better sitter for Cezar,, when he decided not to eat his own food, she provided to share her own dogs food, which he seems to like it ,since he is a picky eater. I could not thank Marla and her family,they took care of him better than I could. Thank you”
“Tu was phenomenal throughout the entire process. Took care of my other half as though it were her own. And the updates/images of his wellbeing were appreciated. T/Y”
“Our rescue dog, Liam, has stayed for 3 extended visits (averaging ~ a week each). He's had excellent care. No kennel. He sleeps on his own pillow. He's had some reactivity issues in the past while guarding "his space", but Elan has been very good at making him feel at home and he's had no issues while in her care with other dogs. She sends frequent updates and pictures and is very responsive to questions that might arise.”
“Gino took great care of our dog, Hashi! He sent numerous pictures of our boy playing in the backyard, eating, and napping happily. When we came to pick up Hashi it seemed like he was sad to leave his new found friend and vacation spot. I would absolutely recommend Gino to anyone needing a dog sitter. Thank you so much Gino, Hashi had a blast with you and I am confident we will be repeat customers!”
“Matthew was phenomenal! Communicative, kind, reliable, and most importantly very sweet with my dog. Would recommend and plan to use him for future bookings. Thank you so much!”
“Maria & Kalyan (& Nikko) took such great care of Pongo! This was my first time boarding my dog so I was a bit nervous leaving my dog’s care in someone else’s hands for the first time. Now I’ve found the perfect place to take my pup when I need him to be taken care of while I’m away! They sent plenty of updates and pictures and videos each day to ease my worries. It was very comforting and I loved seeing how Pongo was doing. They asked all the right questions beforehand and made sure Pongo’s needs were met. Nikko and Pongo were such a good match for high energy and loved playing together. Maria and Kalyan went above and beyond my expectations taking Pongo on adventures and long walks and making new puppy friends! I can tell Pongo was treated very well and his mind was even exercised. He was a happy boy when I picked him up and he went straight to sleep when I took him home. Definitely recommend and will be back in the future!!”
“Molly and her husband took such sweet care of our pup. They were so relaxed and we felt like they would love piper like their own! We got lots of picture updates and we were able to meet their pups before we left ours with them for a night. Our dog came back calm ready for a nap after having lots of play time with her new friends. We are so excited to be able to leave piper with them again and we are so glad that we found a safe place for our dog to go to when we go out of town! 100% would suggest Molly and her family to others!”
