“Alan and Luis took fantastic care of our dog Maggie while we were on vacation. We received multiple daily photos. The photos assured us that Maggie was having fun and therefore we enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing that she was well taken care of. We will definitely use Alan and Luis again!!!”

“Allison was great with watching our dog! We had a short notice request and she was able to communicate effectively and efficiently what would work with her schedule along with ours. She sent updates and photos regularly. Our dog had tons of fun running around in her fenced in yard! Thanks again Allison. 10/10 recommend.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our pooch. I am sure he enjoyed the company (canine and human), the outside time, and such comfortable inside accommodations. I am sure he will want to come for another visit soon!”

“Liz was amazing with our little dog Fiona. We received daily updates and pictures and she went above and beyond to make sure our girl ate (she gets nervous in new situations and won’t usually eat but Liz took the time to try different things until it worked). It was such a comfort to know our baby was in such good hands while we were away. We will definitely book again 😊”


“As always, very satisfied with Steve. Stella is too. She loves having friends to play with and the friendly environment. We have already booked two more stays. One for 4 days and another for a week this summer. ”

“Brittany was great. She kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Our dog seems very happy with her and was perfectly fine when we picked her up. We would use Brittany again without hesitation.”

About: I've had a connection with dogs since my early childhood. Even as a young child I was the first to recognize when the family pets were "off" and in need of special care. I trained my GSD in a Schutzhund club and have a love for all dogs. My Chihuahua has taught me a different level of caring for a dog, from becoming a dog tooth brusher to chief hawk lookout on potty breaks. My day job is a half mile from home. I work 8-12, come home for an hour lunch and return to work from 1-4. I also have an adult daughter in my home who works evenings and is usually home during day time hours. I have a small fenced area outside my kitchen door. I do not let any small dog outside without a human because I am conscious of the danger hawks pose to small dogs. I have a very large, low living room window that dogs really enjoy because they can watch the world outside unfettered. There is a bed and an ottoman by the window for comfortable viewing purposes. Routines are adhered to. Guests are treated like family, welcome to snuggle on the couch or stretch out on my bed.
“We couldn’t be happier with Kristin as our dog’s pet sitter! This was their second stay with her, and when we knew we were going out of town, there was no question—Kristin is the one we wanted to care for them again. She is incredibly attentive and caring, always making sure they’re comfortable and happy. We loved the regular updates she sent throughout the day; it’s clear how much she loves animals and how dedicated she is to providing them with the best care. Highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter.”

“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”

“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”

“Nazim is an AMAZING doggy daycare provider. He has a large and fenced in yard for dogs to run around and play. My dog, Koby, loves to run around and play with other dogs. It's his favorite thing to do (besides eat)! He was able to get out all the energy he needed out and found a spot (in the yard) to chill out once he was done. Nazim sent a lot of pictures and video clips of Koby while in his care. I will definitely book another stay with Nazim!”

“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”

“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”

“Would highly recommend!! Ifan was great with Pierre and was very responsive when I asked for pictures and videos during his stay. My dog did a lot of running around outside in his backyard and playing with the other dogs he was watching, but when it came time for me to pick him up he looked good as new. Brushed and came with an adorable handkerchief! He was great!”

“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”


“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”

“5 stars!! Haoran is absolutely amazing! She is extremely thoughtful and took the time to get to know us and Shilo. She asked lots of questions to make sure Shilo felt right at home. Shilo became best friends with her dog. Highly recommend and we look forward to booking with her again!”

I’m so grateful to Alex and his wife for taking such amazing care of my dog Cooper over the 4th of July weekend! Cooper is usually very scared of fireworks, so I was nervous about being away, but from the moment I dropped him off, I felt reassured. They sent me so many updates and adorable pictures, which helped ease my worries and let me enjoy my time away knowing he was in great hands. Cooper got plenty of walks and had lots of playtime in the yard, he looked so happy and relaxed in every picture they sent! It’s clear they really cared about his comfort and well-being. Overall, Alex and his wife were fantastic, and Cooper is definitely excited to visit again. I’m so happy to have found a safe, loving place for my pup to stay!

We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking on our last-minute boarding request! From start to finish, she was incredibly pleasant and accommodating. Our dog Brady walked right into her home and immediately seemed comfortable — a true testament to the welcoming environment she provides. Her own dog is also an absolute sweetheart, which made the experience even better. Throughout Brady’s stay, Alyssa kept us updated with regular photos, and it was clear from every one of them just how happy and relaxed he was. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We will definitely be using Alyssa’s services again in the future. Thank you so much, Alyssa — we can’t recommend you highly enough!
