“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”


“Kira and her kids took great care of our frenchie. She was very responsive and sent pictures daily. Our pup received all of the love and attention that he is used to at home. We highly recommend her services!”


“Eleanor was the perfect sitter for our dog Basil. She cared for her and loved her as if she were her own. Do not hesitate to book Eleanor. She is wonderful.”


“David was exceptional! This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and David made sure we felt at ease the entire time. He sent many photos and updates throughout the day so we knew that Kevin was in great hands. We definitely plan to reach back out for any dog sitting needs we may have in the future! 10/10 would recommend! He even treated our puppy to new toys!”


“Matthew and Macon communicated well and sent lots of pictures. I was a little nervous since we weren’t able to have a meet and greet, but Tobey did well. I will definitely book with them again.”


“Elif was absolutely wonderful with my cat Yeti! She sent me daily photos and little notes about how Yeti was doing which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her attention to detail, she followed all of Yeti’s care instructions and even went above and beyond by accommodating a last minute extra overnight stay when my flight was unexpectedly delayed. Elif is reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter! Thanks again! 🐱💙”


“Justin understood that I was nervous to leave my dog for two weeks while away, and was extremely attentive to both me and my pet to provide assurance and comfort. He sent daily pictures and videos of her snacking, playing, and being cute. For me, personally, that kind of care is exactly what I was looking for and he came through 100%. She was happy and ready to go when I returned, and now that I know and trust Justin, he can expect I’ll be requesting him again in the future.”


“Wida was so kind to us and our 11 week old Pup. It was clear she has raised puppies and understands their needs from play to training, and was gracious about the accidents. She was easy to communicate with and stopped by briefly prior for a meet. Daphne came home so happy and content, we are very thankful for Wida!”



“Kat is amazing! She really loves dogs and cares for them so well. Griff had the best time with her and it gave us peace of mind knowing he was safe and happy. She sends lots of amazing pics and updates too which we loved. Looking forward to Griffs next stay :)”


“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved English Bulldogs to Koryn while I went on a 5-day vacation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Koryn has a genuine love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the stay, she provided exceptional care, ensuring my fur babies were comfortable, well-fed, and showered with attention. Koryn went above and beyond to accommodate their needs, keeping me updated with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Returning home, I found my dogs happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Koryn truly treated them as if they were her own, and I am incredibly grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Koryn to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”


“My 90lb doodle had such a great time spending the weekend with Denise! She was great at communicating and sent me photos while I was away. I will definitely be booking Denise again!”


“It was our first time leaving Lucy for hokiday - and 2 weeks! Joy was amazing and sent us daily updates. Before we even dropped Lucy off Joy came over to meet her at our house — Lucy took to her immediately. I would highly recommend Joy to any furry parent!!”


“Another great boarding with Marlene! My dog was so happy to see her, and it was great to leave town knowing she was in the best hands. I got regular photo updates, and my girl looked happier and healthier when I picked her up than she did when I dropped her off. I think she's a little sad to be home though...😂”


“My first time leaving my baby Debbie overnight and Miss Funda was great! She understood I was nervous and made me feel at ease. Always responsive and accommodating with the time that works best for both of us! She sent videos and pictures and made sure my baby played outside in the fenced yard! I will definitely repeat her services and I am grateful! Thank you once again Funda !”


About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, sick dogs, dogs of many breeds and sizes. I currently have a dog of my own as well. I will give your dog all the attention he/she needs. We can play, do basic training, feeding, cuddles, walking, you name it, I’ll do it. I have a dog of my own (Cashew) and he’s super friendly with other dogs. I have 3 different dog beds (see pics) and plenty of toys that Cashew’s willing to share. I will keep an eye on your dog at all times to make sure it’s safe. I will send you as many pics and videos as you’ll allow me to.

About: Hi there! I’m a 26-year-old animal lover living with my partner, and one lovable senior pup. Fred, our senior dog, is the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. All fur babies boarding in my home are friendly and used to being around other animals. However, most remain separated until acclimated for safety reasons. (Please request solo boarding at time of reservation if you’d prefer your fur baby not to be with other animals) We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your furry friend to feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away, so I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment for your pet while you're gone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or outdoor playtime, I’m happy to match your pet’s needs and routines. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby I work from 9am to 2pm, so I handle all walks, playtime, and feeding for my pets from 7-9am before I head out. When I get home around 2:30pm, I do another round of walks, playtime, and feeding. At 12 I come home for lunch and do snack time. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to fit your fur babies needs please discuss any special requests with me. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 2:30pm and weekends after 10am, making it easy to care for your pets while accommodating my schedule. Whether it’s for a play session, walks, or just some cozy cuddle time, your pet will feel right at home with my flexible routine. I offer pet care in my home, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet will enjoy a structured routine with feeding, playtime, and walks, all while being surrounded by my friendly fur family—Fitzgerald, Westley, and Fred. I’m experienced in providing special care, like administering medication or post-surgery recovery. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet's specific routine and needs. Before boarding, we’ll have a conversation to understand your pet's wants and requirements, ensuring they have the best possible stay with us.

“Monica was so wonderful with Odin! We couldn't have asked for a better boarder while we went away. She and her family were communicating throughout our vacation with pics and videos and they took just the greatest care of him which we so appreciate!!”

Catherine K.Star Sitter
“Catherine has a natural ability to read and respond to dog behavior with patience, attentiveness, and care. We trust her to the point we’ve asked her to help us with our own dog care program! From hands on physical dog care to discussions of care and business structure, we’ve asked Catherine to be involved on many occasions with our own rover sitting! We first met Catherine on rover as one of our first customers and quickly became a friend! She has a wonderful pup of her own, Cashew, who has consistently done amazing with other dogs in our care! Cashew shows us an impressive reflection of the training, structure, and emotional understanding Catherine brings to her relationships with pups! We trust Catherine to watch our boy Benji and I think that’s the best way to recommend her to you!”

“She helped my stray cat give birth and cared for the kittens like they were her own. That’s just who she is—gentle, patient, and totally dedicated. She’s fostered so many cats over the years and always goes above and beyond. If your pet is staying with her, they’re in the best hands.”
