“Monica was so great with Rose! So caring and flexible and responsive. Rose had the best time playing with Monica’s dog Beto and she will miss him very much. I will absolutely use Monica again if I come back to town to visit!”


“Michael took such good care of my dog Jordan. Jordan has a few health issues and Michael was able to administer his medication on time. He also sent me pictures and updates during the day. Jordan loved his stay with Michael and his family. Would definitely have him stay again in the future Thank you Michael!”


“I was very nervous about leaving my over-anxious, high-maintenance rescue baby with someone for the very first time, but Marta was amazing. She made both me and him feel at ease and provided a great day-time stay! Already booking her overnight for our vacation in January. Thank you!!”


“My pup absolutely loves going to Deidre’s house! She has been going for quite a few days out of the week and she is always super excited when we enter her neighborhood. I know my dog is super loved and cared for at her house, which is a great feeling! Annie is exhausted when we get home at night- a good sign lol :)”


“Yuliia was an amazing & excellent sitter for our two mini schnauzers, Apollo and Ares! She was patient, attentive, and so much fun with them. She even took them on little “field trip” style walks, which kept them happy and entertained the whole day. Thanks to her care, our boys barely noticed we were away. She carefully followed all of our instructions—from their potty schedule to meals and snack times—and went above and beyond in making sure they felt comfortable. I especially appreciated the consistent updates, photos, and videos she sent throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind seeing how well they were doing and how much fun they were having. By the end of the day, Apollo and Ares were both happy, tired, and full of good energy from all the playtime and activities. We’re so grateful to have found Yuliia and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Yuliia!”


“Balaji and Sanna are truly the best. Continuous and unconditional love is given to our sweet Penny. We never worry when she is with them. We undoubtedly trust them and are extremely pleased with how amazing and wonderful they sincerely are.”


“Olive had the best time with Kristal! She was so accommodating to her needs, and it’s clear that Kristal has a lot of experience with dogs. We will be using her again and again!”


“I am very happy to report that Karina and her daughter were awesome for my new foster who is really fearful and shy at first. I was nervous at first because I didn't know her at all and the lady who owns the Rescue was telling me how sometimes Rover sitters actually steal dogs! But Karina was honorable and very communicative. Responded to texts instantly all week and kept me informed of everything, even got a picture of Roxy pooping! LOL From the many pictures and videos she sent, Roxy felt right at home and did quite well I think! I recommend Karina and will definitely rebook if she's available next time I come to town!”


“Lynda really helped me out with a pretty last minute request for doggy daycare. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Teddy with her and I would absolutely do it again. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout the day on how it was going. Thank you Lynda!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child, with over 5 years of consistent experience. I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. My neighbors, friends, and family regularly trust me to walk, feed, administer medication, and bathe their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love spending time with animals. I also have experience with basic training and understand the importance of routine and comfort for each pet. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, and playtime throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get my full attention and lots of love! I don’t have pets of my own, which means your furry friend will get my undivided attention. I live in a spacious apartment in a secure building with a private rooftop that includes a mini yard and park area — perfect for playtime and fresh air. I always follow safety protocols and can easily accommodate your pet’s routine, including crate training, feeding, or medication if needed. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority.

About: I've taken good care of 2 dogs for the past 14 years. I have a very large 1 acre yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for dog walks. I keep the yard very clean and have a lovely fenced in dog run with artificial turf which I clean daily. The yard and the dog run are always clean so the dogs and guests never accidentally step on doodoo. I am a stay-at-home mom that can easily accommodate various pet schedules. I take care of dogs in my home and can consistently supervise them. I am able to feed the dogs on time, take them out on time, and I keep a good routine day in and day out.

“Juliana was able to accommodate my last minute request for dog sitting in her home. She was prepared with water bowl and pee pads in case Axl had to pee (it was raining outside). Axl had just had surgery and she took great care of him for a few hours. Thank you, Juliana!”


“Brianna was literally the best!! My pups had a blast and they were excited to go back the next day! She played with them, gave them enough rest, sent me tons of pictures throughout the day & even made the best tik tok of them!! Absolutely loved having her watch my pups! We will definitely book again!”


“We left our 3 year old Maltipoo dog under Ellen's care for one day, and Ellen took great care of him! Milo takes a little time to settle in at a new place, and Ellen was very patient and kind with him. We had informed Ellen that Milo loves to play fetch, and Ellen took him to a dog park for plenty of play time. Ellen was very communicative throughout the day with providing updates. Milo had a great stay and he was a happy dog when we picked him up. We would definitely choose Ellen again for Milo's care.”


About: I love animals and caring for them! I’ve had a dog myself for 8 years and cared for my friends/family’s cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more. I have a quiet home - just myself and two grown children (20 and 17) so sitting at my home is always an option. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule since I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I can spend time with the animals and they won’t be home alone all day long. I’m also open to sitting at the owner’s home for those reasons. I like to stay active so walking/running with your animals is always fun for me :) I look forward to caring for your loved pets as they are my own! Message me with any questions.
