“Cristina loves Atticus and Atticus gets soo excited when he sees Cristina coming to get him from our car. It’s the cutest thing to see Atticus so happy! We’re very grateful that we found her!”
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“Mabel had another great day with Sean. She went on a group hike and had some fun playtime! Sean was very attentive and took wonderful care of our sweet girl. It was a big help knowing she was safe for the day.”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”
“Our two pups had the best time at David and Betsy’s. We received pictures and they came home happy and tired! I would definitely use David and Betsy again!! Thank you both for the pictures , bath and fun!”
“I was a bit nervous, this is our first time trying day care for my shelter dog. Ismael has such a calming manner that put both of us at ease. I plan on calling on him again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a child, and I can’t imagine life without them! Over the years I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities — Skye terriers, Scottish terriers, a Bernese mountain dog, and now my family’s two rescues: Choco (mixed breed) and Chip (giant schnauzer). I helped raise Choco from day one after her rescue during COVID, so I have plenty of experience with training, routine care, and giving pets a safe space to thrive. Along with my own pets, I’ve cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs and cats — walking, feeding, bathing, and even cooking home meals for them when needed. I also grew up with three cats (Munchie, Mickey, and Ago) so I’m comfortable providing gentle and attentive care to cats as well as dogs. Special skills: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescues, and pets with different temperaments. I’m patient, consistent, and comfortable with a variety of routines and training needs. I’m a 24 years old and currently working full-time while my partner is a student, so we balance our schedules to make sure pets get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and walks. We’re available throughout the week for boarding, daycare, or drop-ins, and just ask for at least one day’s notice before confirming bookings. We live in an apartment with a fenced yard where dogs can enjoy fresh air and socialization. We can provide potty breaks every 3-5 hours, and dogs are welcome to cuddle with us on the couch or even in bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. We believe pets should feel comfortable, loved, and secure so we adapt to their individual needs — whether that means structured walks, active play, or quiet snuggle time.
“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jingjing and everyone in her family were so nice to Tori and took great care of her. On the second day I could see her already so comfortable in the house. I would strongly recommend this warm home!”
“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”
About: Dedicated and versatile, I specialize in puppy training and energetic dog accompany . My love for animals ensures a safe, comfortable environment for your pet.” Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, especially after 5 PM. During this time, I devote my attention to exercise, play, training, and interaction with the pets. Throughout the week, I manage vet visits, grooming, and special outings. My schedule's flexibility allows me to meet each pet's unique needs, providing the comprehensive care they deserve. In my home or at a client's, I prioritize providing a safe, engaging environment for pets. I adhere to established routines, maintain cleanliness, ensure regular exercise, closely monitor health, and provide ample attention, making their comfort and happiness my utmost responsibility.
About: I have a 3 year pup named Bowie and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I will love and spoil your furbaby as if they were my own. NOTE: my profile says I have 2 dogs but I only have 1. I watch my Mom’s dog a lot so I have her under my account as a customer of the services :) I’m currently out of work so I have an open schedule to focus on your pup. Bowie would love a playmate to zoom around with! I have a big complex and a little gated dog run on-site. I also have a big deck I gate off during the warmer months for patrolling. I have a 6 foot lead for extra security if needed. Bowie roams around the deck and takes in the sun or says hello to fellow friends when they walk by on the mini trails.

Jun ho is a phenomenal dog sitter! Petunia was taken care of as though she's family: he made her fresh chicken, beef, and fish to go with her meals when she was struggling with her appetite, took her for long, leisurely walks when the weather permitted, and even gave Petunia a gift from his dog, Boki! She was so happy at pick-up, she tried to guide me back into Jun ho's home to spend more time. Petunia has a torn ACL and Jun ho took gentle care of her. She felt safe away from home which means a lot to a dog parent. I will be booking again, and can't recommend him enough.
Jingjing and family were all very kind and thoughtful. Remy had a couple of accidents during daycare (he’s recently started marking and sometimes goes a bit overboard) and these were met with absolute understanding and grace. He had a good time playing with another dog they were watching and seems to have enjoyed his day overall!
Brianna was great! She dog-sat for Juno, our 8 year-old Bernedoodle, in our home for 10 days. She came by for a meet and greet a few days beforehand to get the lay of the land and meet Juno. Bri is a great communicator , which gave us comfort, as we were leaving our dog and house with someone we only recently met (albeit with excellent references). We got lots of pics and updates, and our home was immaculate upon our return. Very professional. Will hire again. Highly recommend!
Charlie has been an exceptional dog sitter. He is reliable and genuinely cares for my dog, who is always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. Charlie follows instructions carefully, communicates clearly, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is well cared for! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Hannah is truly amazing! She cared for Bo as if he were her own and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She was super responsive and kept me updated with lots of great photos of the pups having a blast together. I had total peace of mind knowing Bo was in her hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Hannah again!
I was very nervous to leave my puppy with a stranger, but we’re so happy we found Arianna! She is incredibly caring and loving. Toffee absolutely love her and is always excited to see her and spend time at her place. He always comes home happy and well cared for, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I also really appreciate how she keeps us updated with photos and messages—it makes all the difference when we’re away from him. At this point, Arianna doesn’t feel like a stranger anymore—she’s become part of the family, and Toffee truly loves her company.
