“Belinda is one of the most incredible dog sitters EVER! She communicated effectively, followed every instruction on caring for our two little puppies, and ensured that they were loved and well cared for during my wife’s and I family vacation! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable professional dog sitter.”

“Noemy was wonderful sending pictures of Wyatt each day we were away. Having someone to keep our dog company in our home was the best scenario and Noemy was perfect for the job. We have already booked her for our next trip! Thanks Noemy and thanks Rover for the service.”

“Kathryn was amazing with our senior Golden over the Holiday break. She even took the initiative to research and purchase some doggie socks and hot spot medicine for a hot spot on her foot we have been trying to get rid of. Our neighbor even ran into Kathryn on a walk and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was and wanted her number for her pups. I’m so thankful I found someone I trust and feel so comfortable with in my home with my Daisy. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!”

“Anna was great! She came to a "meet and greet" before the booking, and knew just what to do with our dog. Samantha really liked her, and looked like she had a good time while we were gone. Anna sent photos as well.”

“Holly took good care of our senior dog Bear. Communicated daily on how he was doing. She genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable about dogs. Bear even gave her kisses (and it takes him a while to warm up to anyone).”

“Mark H. cared for our two dogs for 6 days recently, and we will definitely call him again. He kept us constantly updated with pictures, videos, and text messages about the dogs' daily activities, health, and welfare. He made sure they were well-fed, exercised, brushed, and cared for according to our directions and it was obvious that he enjoyed caring for them. He stayed in our home while we were gone and was super clean and respectful, even laundering his bedding and tidying up the home before we got back from our trip. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him highly!”
“David and Beth did a great job looking after our pets while we were away. They were understanding and flexible when a few unexpected things came up, which really put us at ease. We appreciated their care and would be happy to have them look after our pets again in the future!”

“Paris is awesome! She was booked to puppy sit our 10 week old Irishsdoodle and she ended up meeting all three of our cats which takes a special person to lure them all out from under the bed when a new person is in the house. We will definitely rebook her again. She is thorough, trustworthy and very good with both dogs and cats. If you need a walker or a sitter or a house stay, she will be excellent!”

“We love knowing that if Lori is looking after our Lucky when we are out of town, we do not have to worry about anything. She is so good with dogs and is so knowledgeable about them. We cannot thank her enough for everything she does for him. Highly recommend!”

“Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Letty stay at our home while we were away, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the first moment we met her it was clear that she was incredible bond with animals and attention to detail made all the difference. Not only did she keep our dogs, happy, comfortable, and cared for, but she also went above and beyond to ensure everything at home was in perfect order. We love the regular updates and adorable picture she sent, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.
“Beth lived in and watched our Irish wolfhounds and cats. First I am the most anal compulsive person when it comes to my hounds. I have great anxiety leaving my heard of animals but anxiety was out the window with Beth taking excellent care and attention to them. My hounds were relaxed when I came home. She sent photos of the hounds loving her. I highly recommend Beth. She knows dogs and has fantastic intuition to their needs. My hounds love love Beth!!!”

Melinda was wonderful with my anxious pups! They warmed up quickly to her during our meet & greet and practically sprinted to greet her when she came for their sitting. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone communicative and patient with nervous pups. Thanks Melinda!
