“Marjorie is truly the best and her family is so lovely! They really do treat Lucha like their own (and their kid seems to think it's the family dog at this point!) and I always know when Lucha stays with them that she is well taken care of”
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“This was our first time using rover or really leaving our 2 labs with anyone. They are very high energy, and she and her sons took great care of my boys! I got lots of updates & pictures throughout & will definitely book again!”
“Ben and Shannon always do an amazing job watching Palmer! They are great at communicating and always send the cutest pictures to keep us updated. We know she is well taken care of when she gets to stay with them!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and small animals since I was a child. Cats are my favorite! I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals from a single household. Got a dog and a cat? Or 2 cats? I would love to watch them! I work from home and have time to spend with your babies while you’re gone! I also have a small dog and a cat (both male & neutered) who are well socialized, trained, and calm personalities. If your baby wants to play, they’ll have a buddy! If not, they’ll have a quiet room to rest. If you board a dog with me, I’ll walk them and exercise them daily with my dog Rocky (he loves having friends visit!). I have a guest room set up to host pets so they have a quiet space to rest. If you board with me, your pet will be welcome in the common area, but if they want their space, they’ll have it! I also have a fenced in yard and access to a local dog park. I want your babies to feel safe and happy while they’re here.
“Mikaelan did a WONDERFUL job with my buddy while I was gone! Lots of exercise and exceptional care. I would HIGHLY recommend her to board your dog with, and next time I'm out of town, I'll book with her again!”
“Cherry was wonderful! She provided tons of videos and photos of my two pups! Even with crazy travel issues, she was able to keep my dogs for longer than originally planned and gave me peace of mind as I navigated travel delays! Highly recommend her for watching your pets!”
“Taylor is AWESOME!! He took amazing care of my big girl Hannah while I was out of town, always updating me and me sending pictures! From our initial meeting with him before bringing Hannah by, I knew he was the one for her. His caring and gentle ways and experience with large dogs made this the perfect match. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Stacy was great and made sure my little dude was comfortable at her house; as he can be very anxious in a new place. She had homemade treats and did a doggy painting for the 4th of July (so the dog(s) can be distracted during fireworks). I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Chris was a flexible and responsive caretaker for our dog. His place and neighborhood seemed well-equipped for dog-walking and dog-sitting, and we were comfortable with our dog being in his care while we were away.”
“Christie took amazing care of our dog for an entire week! She kept us updated with photos and made sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with someone so caring. Highly recommend Christie!”
“Hannah communicated promptly from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring. She is genuinely kind and clearly a true dog lover. She kept me updated with videos and pictures, which gave me peace of mind the whole time. When my dog was missing us and feeling a bit anxious, she lay down with him on the sofa to help calm him. She even took him on a morning walk without being asked, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her anytime.”
“Benjamin took great care of our two dogs for a full month, and we’re really grateful for it. They came back clean, fresh, and well cared for, even without their usual weekly baths, which we really appreciated 😊 He was also kind and responsive whenever we reached out.”
“My Knox was so loved an spoiled with Kristyna and her family! She made me feel so secure with boarding by daily and frequent updates and pictures! When I picked him up, I could tell he was comfortable during his time her and that he enjoyed himself. I will certainly be boarding Knox with her in the future 🐶”
About: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
“Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.”

Patty did an amazing job caring for Rusty while I was away. Since he was a stray, he can take a little time to warm up to new people, but Patty and her sons, Joey and Tommy, were all incredibly kind and patient with him. Rusty adjusted quickly and seemed very comfortable with them. He stayed for a week, and they gave him plenty of time to settle in while also spoiling him with treats, attention, and lots of love. Patty kept me updated with multiple messages and photos throughout his stay, which really helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Patty as a dog sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future!

Jessica is amazing. She watched our rescue beagle who can be very anxious. Jessica was very patient accommodating and kept us very informed about Malias days and nights. She sent us tons of pics so we could see our girl was doing great with her. Highly recommend Jessica and hope to use her in the future.
