“Luna appeared to have a great time at Allen's home for her 8 night stay. She loved having kids. To play with and sleep on the foot of their beds. I got daily check ins from Allen while away alleviating any worries while ion vacation. Will definitely book with Allen in the future!”

“Marie-Eve watched my dog soda while I was away for 8 days! My dog really enjoyed her and her house and the other dogs. While he was happy to see me when I returned, I could tell he was also sad to leave. That’s how you know it was a great time! She provided pictures and updates on the rover.com app and I would definitely book her again!”
“Best dog sitting experience we’ve ever had! Virginia and Max have a such a loving, caring, and beautiful family that we felt so great leaving our dog with. We will definitely be using them in the future!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 25 years, and I've been an animal lover all my life. I'm a long time volunteer for animal rescue organizations, and have fostered several dogs over the years. These experiences have provided me with a great deal of education about animal care, as well as expert contacts when I need advice. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I believe all dogs deserve a loving home, and that includes a sitter who treats them like family when they can't be with their family! And all cats deserve a personalized mix of love and independence. I'm currently home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible. My availability will mostly depend on my other pet care commitments. I'm looking forward to filling more of my days with doggos, taking walks, playing in the park, and snuggling on the couch! My home and vehicle are both geared towards dog-friendliness and safety. Pets are allowed on the furniture, I have several dog beds, space for separate feeding stations, car seatbelt harnesses, and a lift harness. I have a large fenced patio, and my neighborhood is quiet and walkable. I also have access to a small, private dog park in my complex and a large, public one nearby. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs, I'm happy to accommodate them.
“Yena was fantastic, took wonderful care of Sherlock and was super patient and kind with him as he needs to take a few medication pills every day and he’s not a big fan of taking them. Thanks Yena for your service!”
“Excellent experience! Our dog had a great time while he was there, and he was very well cared for. We also received many lovely photos that helped us miss him just a bit less 😉. We Highly recommend Brayden and Noel!”
“Namrata looked after our two doggies over Thanksgiving weekend. She was wonderful with them. They were looked after very well & seemed happy. It was great to get updates/photos while we were away. Will definitely use again!”
“Abigail is awesome!! Not only did she take our dog in for the weekend on a last minute notice (we were scrambling to find a sitter and messaged her only a few days before our trip), but she was super professional, kind, and responded to all our messages right away. She also sent us pictures and videos of Snoopy throughout his stay. We will definitely book her again in the future!!”
About: I grew up with labs ever since i was 5 years old. I currently have a german shepherd husky mix who is 14 months old and I adopted her form the shelter when she was 3 months old. I am actively keeping up with her puppy training and keeping her busy! I routinely watch my parent's two labs. I currently work from home and have a lot of time to be able to let your furry friend out for a potty break, some pets, a quick cuddle or whatever they need. I get out for walks in the morning and evenings but sometimes can squeeze in a lunchtime walk or ball play in the yard. I have my own pup who loves company and can entertain your pup. I have a sizable fenced yard and tons of dog toys. My pup is around to keep your pup company but I also have a set up that allows for seperation as needed. This includes a gated off room and/or a crate. My pup (and yours will too) has free reign of the house and allowed on all furniture. I am open to finding ways to adapt to the care your dog needs. Let me know in advance and I can see what we can do to make your pup feel at home while away from home!
“Kelly and her family are outstanding! They took great care of my pup. They treated her just like family. From the video/picture updates I can tell that Kodak was having a great time. I highly recommend booking with her.”
“My dog had an amazing time with Liam and his wife. Excellent communication, accommodating, clean and very zen environment for dogs. They were well educated about dogs (health, emotions, food, etc) I could tell they had a lot of experience dealing with animals. I knew my baby would be safe with them. They accommodated a meet&greet before the actual boarding period. My dog also was very happy to see them on his return there. Overall you will not be disappointed if you choose to board your pet with them. Thank you guys!!! Looking forward to seeing you again.”
“Cathy did such an amazing job with our dog- she was very communicative, professional, and clearly has strong pet care knowledge. I especially appreciated the updates with photos she provided. Her love for dogs really shines through. Our dog is already looking forward to his next visit!”
“Caio was absolutely amazing! This was our first time boarding our puppy and we were a little apprehensive, but Caio made the whole process really great. He taught our dog so much and took such great care of him. Caio also was able to assist us with our last minute booking. We are definitely looking forward to working with him again!”
