“You’re absolutely amazing!!! Ziva won’t go to anyone else at home or my friends. But after just a few minutes she has no problem with you at all. I trust her instincts-so you gotta be an amazing person!!!! She always has fun at your house and the pictures show it!!! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of my furbaby!!!!”

“Christine was terrific with Sparky. He is an older dog and she and her family were very patient with him and conscientious with his medication. I would definitely use her again.”

“Our dog had a awesome stay. He was treated like a king, he had normal walks, and free roaming in backyard for potty breaks when needed. We recieved fun pictures every day when we were gone. Highly recommended.”

“We appreciated the updates letting us know our dog was having a fun time during his stay! Great communication. It always means a lot to know our dog is being well cared for. Already booked a second stay!”

“Carissa was very sweet with my dogs, Charlie and Murphy. She sent pictures of my dogs being spoiled every day. I didn’t have any worries leaving them in her care. Hope to be a repeat customer!”


“Angela was very welcoming and caring for our Gizmo! From the moment we arrived her and her husband greeted us with open arms. We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased. Would highly recommend to anyone using this service for the 1st time. Thanks again!”


“This was the best experience we had with using Rover. Stella and her family were amazing. We received photos every day, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Our dog has recently developed separation anxiety issues at the age of 10, which has been somewhat of a challenge to figure out since it happens when we’re gone, but Stella managed everything without issue, which was a huge comfort.”

“Melody was fabulous. Can’t say enough great things about her. She sent multiple pics and kept us updated. Our pup was very happy and quite thrilled to stay with her! Would recommend to anyone:)”
“Carolyn was great with Samson. She was able to accomodate a last min booking. The communication was great and appreciated all of the pictures on his stay. Highly recommended.”

“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”

“Cannot express our thanks enough to both Liz and Kris for watching our little girl. They provided amazing updates, photos (many of which were hilariously edited and amazing), videos, and even a report card detailing her stay when we picked her up. So thankful to have found them and we will most certainly be booking again!”

“Judy was incredible! She sent pictures everyday. We have never left our dog with anyone but family so we were super nervous. She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. We will be sure to use her again if needed!”

“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”

“Ms. Deidre took great care of Paisley!!! She communicated frequently with videos, pictures and updates throughout our 2 week off. Paisley felt very comfortable and loved! Having Milo as a playmate also played a huge part in Paisley having a great time. We highly recommend Ms. Deidre and we are sure to continue using her services as our needs arise. Thank you so much, Ms. Deidre and Milo!! :)”


About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and backgrounds at the same time. I currently share my home with two wonderful pups—an 8-year-old Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix who is calm and gentle, and a 3-year-old Pitbull mix who is playful and friendly. They are the sweetest dogs ever and have helped dogs I foster feel at home and loved. I rescued both of them as puppies and have been committed to giving them happy, healthy lives ever since. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have experience fostering dogs from a wide range of situations, including seniors, dogs from hoarding environments, and those who were not yet house-trained. Each dog in my care received patience, structure, and lots of love—and I’m proud to say they all went on to be successfully adopted into permanent homes. I live in a spacious townhome in a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced dog park just a short 10-minute walk away. I love going on long walks and taking my dogs to the dog park to make sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. Inside the house, your dog will have access to plenty of cozy orthopedic beds, toys for mental stimulation, and a safe, comfortable environment. Since I work from home, your dog will never feel alone—they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a calm, relaxing stay or an active, playful environment, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every dog like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m currently working from home and have lots of flexibility. I walk my dogs 3 times a day in the neighborhood for exercise. There is a private fenced dog park in my neighborhood if your pet enjoys playing! I have two friendly fur babies to keep your loved ones company (in addition to my care and TLC!) There are plenty of toys for mental stimulation. We live in a townhome in a quiet neighborhood, paired with cozy orthopedic beds that enables safe and comfortable rest.

My two pets had a wonderful stay with Michele- per usual! She truly ensures that they feel just like home! They get so much attention, long and frequent walks and so many snuggles! Feels like they are part of her family and that is how they are treated! Michele is our only dog sitter as I can’t imagine anyone else taking care of them when we are gone! She is always helpful and willing to make it work with our schedule. She and Ann are the best!!

She was amazing with my dog—attentive, caring, and reliable. Not only did she take great care of him while I was away, but she also went the extra mile by dropping him off at my friend's house. Truly grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
