Amy was awesome! It was my first time leaving Bailey with anyone other than family. I expected to be nervous but I felt very confident and at ease, especially when Amy sent me photos and videos of Bailey hanging out with her and her family. Bailey did great and I will definitely be calling Amy again when I need a sitter!

My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!

We love Haley and her sweet gentle little girl. They took great care of our Chi Chi. This was our 1st time using Rover and we were a little nervous. We will never be nervous again as long as Haley is available. Special points for her large backyard. Lots of room for pups to play.

About: Reliable and attentive professional dog sitter dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and stress-free care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Experienced in daily routines including feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining consistent schedules to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Known for a calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail, I focus on building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra support, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and a clean, secure environment so owners can have complete peace of mind. Passionate about animal wellbeing and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I have decided to make caring for pets my full time job. I am single and live alone with my 2 yr old female pupper. We have plenty of time to make your fur babies feel how special they actually are. I have a small fenced in yard. If it's nice out then I like to leave it open so they have free reign. My place is small so I'm always near. I will only accept pets that get along with other dogs. It starts with my dog, Kaiya. She gets along with all dogs so if a dog has a problem with her then they won't be invited for doggy day care. However, that does not mean I cannot pay a visit to your house for any needs. I can also crate any dog that is better suited for that environment. Safety for all pups under my watch is the number one priority.

Brooklin took amazing care of my cat, Lylla, while I was away. Lylla is very shy around new people, but Brooklin was incredibly patient and was able to get her to warm up, which says a lot! She went above and beyond to make sure Lylla was comfortable and cared for, even helping encourage her to eat when she wasn’t showing much interest in food. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Brooklin kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my spoiled girl was in good hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about Lylla’s well-being and treated her like her own. I would absolutely book with Brooklin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.

Brinkley had an amazing time with Angela, never a dull moment always on the move. There were plenty of neighborhood walks, park visits, and even a fun beach trip. He loved hanging out with “Bear,” his new pup buddy, and the two played endlessly together. Angela kept us relaxed with daily updates, fun photos, and thoughtful touches that made Brinkley’s stay both exciting and restful. Thanks to Angela’s warm home, positive energy, and welcoming family, Brinkley missed them all last night, making our choice for his next boarding stay an easy one.

I could not have picked a better couple to take care of my best friend! They were not only loving and playful with Parks, they truly cared about what I mentioned to be her wants and needs. I have only traveled without her a handful of times (3 times at 16 years old is not an exaggeration). Donna made her comfortable, safe and loved. She cared for her knowing being apart was difficult for both of us. I would definitely use them again. I am even thinking of day care a few times a week, since she liked the interaction with other dogs to play with as she had 2 labs and another chihuahua that all past over10 years ago. I never considered how lonely she might be, because she never leaves my side!

About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.

About: Passionate about dogs with 10+ years of experience in walking, feeding, and providing TLC to furry friends. I've also grown up with labs and currently own a sweet little pug. I currently work remotely, so I have flexibility during the week to play with your pups! I'm available any time on weekdays and Saturdays, and any time after 12 on Sundays to care for your pets. I make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable in their own home or mine, sticking to their routine and making them happy! I treat all dogs I care for as if they are my own.

So happy I found Danielle. Dakota loved her right away, and she took great care of her while I was away for a full week. Dakota hurt her paw right before her stay and had to take medicine twice a day the entire time. Danielle was a true pro and kept me informed with lots of photos and videos each day, which I loved! Danielle will hands down be our go-to sitter from now on.
