About: Caring for dogs has been a constant in my life for over 16 years. I’ve raised and cared for my own dogs and continue to pet sit for friends with a variety of breeds, each with their own personalities and needs. I bring a calm, consistent presence and take pride in providing thoughtful, reliable care so dogs feel secure, comfortable, and at ease. Availability is intentionally limited to ensure each client receives dependable, uninterrupted care. I offer flexible scheduling with advance notice and prioritize bookings where I can maintain a consistent presence and routine for your dog. I’m best suited for planned travel rather than last-minute requests, though I’m always open to coordinating when schedules align. I take on a select number of stays at a time to ensure each home and pet receives my full attention. Feel free to reach out with your dates in advance and I’m happy to coordinate accordingly. I provide calm, reliable in-home care so your dog can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. My approach is structured and low-stress—maintaining your dog’s routine, keeping their space clean and secure, and ensuring they feel settled with consistent care and attention. I work best with house-trained, well-behaved dogs in stable home environments. I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and a professional, respectful presence in your home. Meet & greets are required for all first-time bookings to ensure the right fit.
“Alex was amazing! She sends pics and updates throughout each day! My anxious boy took to her right away and looked like he was having fun with her! I don't need a sitter often but would definitely use Alex the next time I do need a sitter, she made me feel so comfortable leaving!”
About: Been taking care of roommates, friends and my own pets since college in 2009. I have fostered a special needs dog that was deaf, diabetic and had cataracts, she needed insulin injections with every meal. I adopted 2 awesome dogs, one of them has been through 2 ACL surgeries and lives with Cushing's. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can take a long lunch and walk/check in on your animals. I have pretty open availability to visit evenings and weekends. Walking a dog is a great way to bond and give the pet some sunshine and exercise. I don't mind spending a good amount of time playing with the dog and make sure their needs are met. I am used to having my dog be a picky pee spot picker, so I have a lot of patience.
“Where to even begin! While my husband and I were away, Yajahyra stayed at our place to take care of our Frenchie baby Remy. I received detailed updates with pictures and videos and she left the cutest little poloroid picture of him. Remy was definitely missing her after she left! We can't wait to book with her again in the future.”
About: I’m a recent DPT graduate who spends my free time doing what I genuinely enjoy, being around dogs. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years, including 4 dogs, 2 cats, turtles, and even a parakeet. I’ve worked with dogs of all personalities, from high-energy and playful to anxious, reactive, senior, and puppies. I’ve also completed training through Zoom Room with my Australian Shepherd, so I’m familiar with basic obedience, leash work, and reinforcing good behaviors. I take a calm and patient approach, giving dogs time to adjust, reading their body language, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I tailor the experience to your dog’s needs. Whether your dog prefers to stop and sniff, explore at their own pace, or get some energy out with a light run, I’m happy to adjust. If a dog pulls, I use a stop-and-reset approach to encourage calmer behavior. If they become reactive, I redirect and create space to keep things controlled and stress-free. Coming from a healthcare background, safety and attentiveness are always my top priorities. I have experience administering medications and handling emergency situations with my own pets, so you can feel confident your dog is in capable hands. I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you’d like so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like family—with patience, respect, and genuine care. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well taken care of every time. Available M-F from 9am to 10pm but can work weekends if given a heads up! I control my own schedule so I can be free at almost anytime! I will respect all of the clients wishes for the care of the clients home and the safety of their pets. I hope all clients will communicate their expectations regarding the care of their pets.
“Laura was fantastic! She did an amazing job at checking in morning, night and mid day with photos. She also made our pups some yummy eggs to snack on and to top it off, she vacuumed and threw the sheets in the wash. We were at lease the whole time we are gone for the 3 nights. Excited to have her back next time!”
“Michael was incredible with our two fur babies. He stayed in contact all the time and walked them multiple times a day. The house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs were very happy. Highly recommend him and we will be using his excellent service again! Thank you so much 😊”
“We had Nicolas come and house sit and watch our dogs while we were out of town. He was extremely communicative, providing updates daily on the dogs and our house. He is easy going, respectful and a great dog and house sitter! We will be using him for all future trips as he made us so comfortable and gave our dogs all of his attention and time. I’d book with Nicolas without any hesitation!”
“Brittany was amazing with my two dogs, two cats, and snake! We hired Brittany very last minute after our original pet sitters cancelled on us, and to say I was pleased would be an understatement! Brittany took the dogs for walks, gave daily updates, and helped problem solve when my dogs were giving her a hard time eating. She even tidied up the house and wrapped up her bedding which made coming home from the trip much easier and more relaxing! I struggle leaving my animals with anybody, but I will 100% be booking Brittany again for our next trip!”
“Nadia was wonderful to work with! She took great care of Juniper while I was away for the weekend - played, walked, and sent plenty of pictures to keep me up to date! She treated my home like her own and left it spotless for my return. Can’t recommend her enough! Will definitely continue working with her when she’s available. ☺️”
“Beth was the most lovely, kind, and caring sitter for our baby boy Blue. I felt so at ease traveling knowing she was watching him and our house. She is super intentional about security and customizes her watching based on your pet and their needs! Will definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter ?”
About: Hey fellow dog lovers! I’ve had animals around me all my life, and dogs have always been a constant; sometimes just being the reason I got outside for a walk on a tough day. Caring for different pets over the years has shown me that every animal is unique, with their own quirks, needs, and boundaries. I always respect that so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’ve been running a remote creative studio for 8+ years, which gives me flexibility in my day to day and allows me to be fully present when caring for your pet. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend more time at home with your pet and keep them company throughout the day. I’d describe my energy as calm, attentive, and playful. I prioritize a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow routines closely, stay attentive on walks, and ensure pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Happy to keep you as updated as you'd prefer.

“Michelle went above and beyond during her short stay with Kenji. She took him on an extra long walk and even did some chores for me unprompted. Kenji was very happy and well cared for upon my return. Would definitely book with Michelle again.”
“My wife and I travel for work and Lauren is our first and only thought when we need someone to watch our Cali girl. She’s watched Cali in our home multiple times and she’s amazing. Can’t say enough good things. Thanks Lauren!”
“Azucena was so helpful and dependable. She helped me out in a pinch while I unexpectedly had to travel more than usual. I'd absolutely recommend her and I'm grateful for her help!”
“Brittany was great! She was attentive to our dog's needs, followed all feeding instructions, and really cared about him! She sent some cute photos while we were away. We felt our dog was in great hands with Brittany! We will be using her again!”
“Sydney was great with our very anxious and high-strung girl. She's a big dog, so it takes a lot of confidence to take that on, and I appreciate that. She also takes amazing dog pictures!”

Danny was a great help during our time away, and he did an outstanding job of keeping up with a rascal of a puppy in addition to our adult Lab. Danny definitely went above and beyond to keep the chaos in control, and kept us informed along the way. We also appreciated that he went beyond expectations to leave the house clean and tidy before we got home. Would highly recommend!
Jillian was patient, kind and very conscientious with our deaf and mostly blind senior dog. I was very anxious about leaving her but with Jillian's clear communication and photos, began to relax. When we returned our dog was just fine, due to Jillian's hard work. She's the best!
David was great with our adult dog, and was able to come in last-minute, which was a huge relief. He stayed over and left the house in great condition as well. Our dog has some very particular needs as he continues to recover from an injury, and David had no problem handling them. Will definitely be keeping David on our Rover rotation :)
Claudia was already watching our two dogs when my brother needed her for the night. She rolled with the punches. His dog ended up being just as obsessed with her as our dogs are. My brother is VERY nervous about who watches his dog. He relaxed immediately with Claudia. Of course she sent pictures throughout the stay. Somehow she can juggle play time, food time, and dinner time flawlessly with three, very different size dogs with wildly different personalities. She has a true talent. (Your house will also somehow always be nicer than how you left it too)
Meg is a fantastic sitter! Badger was so well cared for and we loved the updates she gave. She confidently navigated a medical event with our dog where she had to bring him to the vet. We were lucky to have her around. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such great hands.
I had an extended weekend trip planned and my sitter went dark two days before our trip. I thought I was going to have to cancel. I messaged Allie as she has good reviews and she was able to watch our two dogs in our house with less than 2 days notice. She even made time for a meet and greet. Allie sent lots of pictures, played fetch, and walked both dogs. They need to be walked separately due to one pup being reactive, which is a bit high maintenance and Allie was able to accommodate. Would definitely hire Allie again!
We couldn’t be happier with Jaiden. My wife and I went on a 9-day trip to Costa Rica and wanted to make sure our 16-year-old dog wouldn’t feel lonely or stressed while we were away. From the start, Jaiden made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Polly in her care. Our dog is very picky when we’re gone and usually becomes lethargic, but that wasn’t the case at all with Jaiden. Polly was active, engaged, and clearly well cared for. Jaiden communicated with us daily, sending updates and photos of Polly on her walks, playing at home, and resting comfortably. That peace of mind while traveling was invaluable. We were extremely happy with her service and will absolutely book her again for future trips (if she’s available). Highly recommend Jaiden to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.
Rachel was right on time, very friendly, and easy to communicate with. She sent regular updates and pictures, and always responded quickly. When we got back, our doggies looked happy and well cared for, which gave us total peace of mind. We’d happily book her again.
Kathleen was amazing! She gave up updates and cute picture of our dog while we were out of town. She stayed at our home and was very respectful and cleaned up more than asked. She was also very quick at responding and set up our meet and greet. Hope to use Kathleen in the future!
