“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”


“Really fantastic. Corey was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. Our pickle loved our time away and we were at ease knowing she was well taken care of. Will continue to use Corey and Robert for their amazing care!”


“Kim did a great job watching our little buddy. I’d highly recommend her. When we inquired how our cat was doing, she was prompt in responding. No complaints here!”


“I had a really good experience with Sara. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog stayed with her and her own dogs, and it felt like a natural fit. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated ,it made being away much easier. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. It’s reassuring to know someone like Sara is out there. I’d definitely book with her again when I need someone I can trust.”


“Caitlin and Max were amazing sitters. Very personable and flexible with my schedule. However, Bowie (their four-legged son) became Mocha’s new BFF. She already misses all three of them and she’s only been home about an hour. Thanks for watching Mocha!”


“So great to have peace of mind while we are travelling! Stella is our senior dog and can be particular with people, we feel incredibly lucky to be able to leave her and feel safe!”


“Had a wonderful experience with booking Peanut! Peanut’s stay with Lauren and family was absolutely amazing. We did a meet and greet the day before and everyone was very welcoming. My mind and heart were at ease immediately. During the stay we got updates and pictures! Peanut was right at home!!!! Thank you very much and we will absolutely be booking again as well as referring friends! 🥰”

“Amanda was great with Cooper! She sent updates throughout the weekend we were gone and he was clearly enjoying his time. Would definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”

“I’m so happy I’ve found Kaz & Akemi. What a relief to know that I have someone in-the neighborhood to look after my Feldy while I’m away on a trip. I felt their calm and stable energy would be a good fit for my sweet senior 14 y/o sweet Boston Terrier. Ty! SHAWNA”


“Vasilina took great care of my two pups. She has a terrific fenced in yard, which is perfect for my dogs because that's what they have at home and are very happy running free.”


“Ella is kind, enthusiastic, and responsive and took great care of our 11 mo old dog! This was our first time using Rover, and I would absolutely recommend Ella to care for a friend’s beloved pet.”


About: As someone who has raised my Havanese dog Oreo for 7 years, I have all the experience needed to ensure pets a comfortable and fulfilling time while you're away. Oreo, despite barking a lot, is friendly with dogs and children. He loves company and is very gentle. He is a great companion for dogs of all sizes needing a place to stay! Although I am working full-time, I usually come home earlier to walk and feed pets. During weekends and holidays, I am usually available all day to satisfy your pet's needs. I typically go for a walk before and after work. I also have cameras for when I am at work, to ensure that nothing goes wrong while I am away. I typically take dogs for walks around my neighborhood or nearby lakeside parks, where there is plenty of space and active and friendly dog communities. Pets can sleep wherever they feel comfortable. I have a fenced courtyard and backyard that pets can roam freely.

Bin "Vivian" L.
“Vivian is a very patient and loving dog parent! She has taken care of Oreo, our 15 lb Havanese dog, for 7 years. She gives plenty of attention to Oreo, ensuring his health by giving him vitamins and exercise, grooming and trimming his fur herself, and providing a comfortable living environment. I have no doubt that she will show this same kind of love to any pets that she takes care of, as she has done already for many of her friends' pets. Most of all, she has a big heart for furry friends around the world. She donates to adoption centers across the globe, and helps pets find new homes by coordinating with people interested in adopting and people who are willing to bring a pet to the US.”
