“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Rui was a wonderful, patient and caring sitter for this first sitting for twelve nights s for my elderly furbaby, who needed extra care, plus an extra two nights due to an unexpected delay to our travels. Thanks so much, Rui!”
“Our senior dog is not particularly easy to take care of, he needs a lot of medication and attention, Maye and Frank did a great job taking care of him while keeping us updated. We truly appreciated their kindness and patience.”
“Ryan and Margy took great care of Clover while we completed our move to Richmond. They were very flexible with scheduling and were great communicators. We also appreciate the long walk they took clover on. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Yuzu! I received videos and pictures everyday during my trip and I could tell Yuzu was happy and comfortable at Andrea and Sergio's place. Yuzu is a high energy dog and requires a lot of walking, she seemed to have enjoyed walking with Sergio everyday 😄 Highly recommended!!”
“I can’t say enough about how much we were pleased with Sandra’s service. It was our first time in 7 years leaving the dog with someone. My wife was extremely worried. But the first day we received a picture of Max (our dog) walking with kids to school, we realized he is fine, which allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our vacation. Sandra is very caring, responsible and just great. We were receiving pictures and short reports every day and in general the communication was very easy and prompt. Max had a great time as well, being in a company of kids and a centre of attention, we couldn’t find a better arrangement for our dog. And actually we think he misses them. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of our dogs. We know that they are in such a good care when they are in your hands. We received daily updates of our dogs having a great time with Coco. We plan on boarding them again soon.”
“Joanne and Glenn were great! Zorro settled in so quickly as if he were at home. They sent tons of updates with photos and videos so I was never worried about how he was doing.”
“Mandy and Jacky are the best. They took very good care of my boy, provided regular feedback and treated him as their own family member. I would again go back to them. Very professional and gentle souls : )”
“Stacie has been an amazing companion for our kitten. She always keeps us updated and I feel that she truly forms a bond with the cats she cares for. I feel like my cat might like her more than me! Always easy to leave my kitten knowing she is in great hands.”
“This was the first time leaving George with a non family member. Ashleigh made us feel so comfortable and that George would be looked after. She sent pictures and updates which made us feel happy. George really enjoyed his time and I could see he was cared for and was treated like a king. Thank you and we will book again with Ashleigh, as we know she really cared for our Mr George. This was a great experience.”
“Ashley and kelvin are the best dog sitters! They took such amazing care of Bentley and send regular updates. Everytime we book with them it gives us a piece of mind :)”
“Like others, also highly recommend Hector! He took care of Sophie well and we fully trusted him. It was nice to see the daily pics of walks and other updates. It was great that we did a meet n greet beforehand so he was already used to Sophie and also the drop off and pick up went smoothly. Will definitely reach out again!”
“I only chose Anita from seeing other peoples reviews, and they weren’t kidding. Anita took great care of my cat, made sure it had a good time, and made sure it came back clean. If your pets needs a caretaker who is considerate, enthusiastic, and professional, choose Anita.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Heng-Chi taking care of our dog Quincy. She was able to accept our booking last minute, was great with communication and sent lots of photos. Highly recommend.”
“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“Brittaney and Tommy were wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, caring, and kept me updated with photos. They really helped my dog become more comfortable leading up to her longer stay!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”
“Despite the late hour, thank you so much for responding and helping us on such short notice. Zhikun and his family handled my three dogs calmly and skillfully, making me feel at ease from the very beginning. They took great care of them with regular walks, and on the last day, they even gave them a shower and sent them home with a thoughtful gift, which I truly appreciated. Zhikun also runs a pet shop, which further reassured me of his experience and reliability. I’m very grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend them.”
“We’ve been trusting Trudy with Sheldon’s care for over a year now, and she continues to exceed our expectations. Her unique and thoughtful space is a cat’s paradise, designed to keep them entertained and comfortable! Trudy’s daily updates, complete with adorable photos and videos, give us peace of mind. Sheldon warms up to her instantly, and it's clear he feels safe and loved in her care. Her passion for animals is evident in every interaction, making her the perfect choice for any cat owner.”

About: I treat cats like guests, not pets to be managed. I respect their independence fully — there’s nowhere off-limits in my home. Countertops, beds, top of the fridge — wherever they feel like being, that’s where they can be. I don’t change their behaviors or train them. You’ll pick up the same cat you dropped off, not a confused version of them. I feed manually — wet food, dry food, or whatever you prefer — because I believe in watching how they eat and adjusting accordingly. No auto-feeders. I want them to feel attended to, not processed. I use a Litter-Robot so they always have a clean bed of litter. And they sleep wherever they like, including on beds if that’s their thing.
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience and I’m also the mom of a lovely 5-year-old toy poodle. Caring for my own dog every day has taught me how important patience, consistency, safety, and affection are in a pet’s routine. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and understanding different dog personalities. I know every pet has their own comfort level, so I always take time to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved! I am currently working from home 3 days a week on weekdays and free on weekends as well. Caring for your fur baby fit naturally into my routine because caring for my own toy poodle is already part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I will make sure each booking has enough time for proper care, play, walks, and as many updates as you prefer!:) I have a sweet 5-year-old toy poodle who can keep your pet company. She is spayed, gentle, and loves making furry friends. I will always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind:)!
About: I’ve taken care of cats ever since I was 7 years old! I’ve helped care for the pets of not only my cousins and friends, but also multiple people in my community. I have experience working with kittens as well as caring for senior cats. My own cat is a bit spicy so I’ve also learned how to handle cats with attitude. I’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy spending as much time with them as I can.
“Josh dropped in on my cat for one week. He did a great job with feeding and cleaning up after a couple of messes. I found Josh to be very responsible and responsive to messages, between and during his visits. I will definitely consider bringing Josh in the next time I'm away.”
“Had a great experience with Stacie!! Really appreciated her friendly communication and twice daily updates! She would send us pics and videos of our 2 kitties. As well, she would update us on their intake and output. 10/10 would recommend!! Will definitely book with her again in the future ☺️💖”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, including giving meds and handling shy or anxious kitties. I’m also not afraid of litter box duty — I actually find it satisfying to keep their space clean and comfortable. I know how particular cats can be, and I always take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy.
“Sara is a super attentive, knowledgeable and caring cat sitter. She was willing to take my cat Strudel for him first rover experience over a long weekend and provided thoughtful care and frequent video updates to me. He had his own room and ensuite to help him feel safe in a new environment. Unfortunately Strudel played hide and seek in the house with Sara near the end of the visit but was found safe and sound. Sara generously came by to drop off an item left behind after his stay. Thank you!”

About: 🐱 Cat Care Experience (10+ Years) I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, starting in college when my roommate had a cat and I helped with daily care. That’s when I truly fell in love with cats 💕 Eight years ago, I adopted my own cat, and have cared for him as a family member ever since.

“Connie once again was a great, reliable, and responsive sitter for our corgi, Kuma. She shared plenty of updates during his short stay and was very accommodating towards our fluctuating pick-up time range. We really appreciate it, thank you x100! 💖”
“Anmol and Abhinav did such a wonderful job taking care of Casper! They sent me multiple photos and videos throughout the day and kept me updated to how Casper was. Both have a very calm demeanour which really helps. We will definitely be rebooking with them for future services.”
“We felt such comfort and peace of mind that our Dashi was in such caring hands with Ashley and Kelvin. Professional, considerate, and friendly with regular updates and wonderful photos! Dashi got some good cuddle time in, which we were so happy to see. Loved that Dashi could have a great walking buddy, Charlee, too.”
“Sara was an excellent sitter and we will be booking again! Gunner had a great day playing with 2 other dogs and getting lots of attention and space to enjoy! Regular updates and easy to book last minute. Sara was a pleasure to deal with!”
“Thank you for helping our family with last minute bookings when are schedules don’t align. Our Nala loves coming to see you and enjoys time with your family. Thank you for taking such great care of her.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our 13-month-old teacup Maltipoo, Prince’s, first doggy daycare experience. As nervous pet parents, we weren’t sure what to expect. Prince is very tiny and can be a little shy, timid, and anxious, but Andrea and Sergio were very understanding of his needs and helped him get settled in and feel comfortable. They kept us updated throughout the day with photos, which gave us peace of mind. When we picked Prince up, Sergio took the time to answer our questions and share some helpful tips on socializing him. Prince had a great day, and we’ve already gone ahead and booked our next daycare visit. We would absolutely recommend Andrea and Sergio to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters.”
“Lovely couple! They are obviously pet lovers! I’m drawn to their calm and kind demeanor. Mo is usually unsure of new people but he approached them after a few minutes. Lots and patient and calm interactions which Mo prefers. Nothing but positive vibes from this couple. Thank you Hector and Jeanette!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have cared for my own pets for many years, as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I started traveling in 2022, my lifestyle has not allowed me to have a pet of my own, so caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep that connection in my life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every pet feel happy and well cared for. I work 100% from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. Because of this, pets are rarely left alone and can receive plenty of supervision, companionship, playtime, and affection as part of my daily routine. For boarding, I offer flexible check-in and check-out times whenever possible. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. Daily walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks are included depending on each pet’s routine and needs. For house visits, I can provide up to two 1-hour visits per day. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. For house sitting, I take both pet care and home care very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure pets maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medication when clear instructions are provided. Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn about their personality, routine, preferences, energy level, health needs, and any special quirks or triggers. I believe understanding each pet individually is the best way to provide loving, responsible, and stress-free care. I believe every pet is unique, so the care I provide always depends on each dog’s individual needs, personality, routine, and the specific instructions given by their owner. I take the time to understand their habits, energy level, preferences, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment both in my home and in my client’s home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also live near a large park where dogs can enjoy walks, explore, play, and safely use their energy while having a fun and enriching time outdoors. Whether a dog is very active or prefers a slower pace, I always adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.
About: I am two dogs parent like you. I totally understand how precious they are. I will take care of them just like you would do. I am a full time house wife. I am available anytime any day for your dog. I wake up 5:30 to take my dog for a walk everyday. I have a small friendly dog who is always waiting for furly friends. We do not have child at home. We have good walking areas around home for potty.
“My dog has been going to Beryl’s daycare every week for a while now. He thoroughly enjoys every visit playing with other dogs, going to the parks and trails, and doing training with Beryl who really takes excellent care of and provides enrichments for my dog. A big plus is that Beryl sends me a lot of high quality photos and videos of my dog at the daycare so I know what he is doing and having fun. Thank you very much Beryl!”
“This is our second time using Siyu’s doggy daycare service, and we’re definitely going to be returning clients from now on. She sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My two dogs love Siyu and her dog Oscar. My anxious mama’s boy, Barkley, didn’t even look back once when I handed his leash to Siyu 😂 From that alone, I know Barkley feels safe and well cared for with Siyu and her smart boy Oscar. A few minutes later, I even got an update that Barkley was flying around the house out of excitement, which was the cherry on top. We can’t thank Siyu enough - as dog parents, we know how guilty and concerned we feel leaving our dogs all day while we work. But thanks to Siyu, we don’t have to feel nearly as guilty anymore, knowing our pups are safe, happy, and cared for. We definitely recommend Siyu :)”
About: I’ve raised two dogs until their final days, including one with cancer. I’m calm, attentive, and experienced with senior dogs, health issues, and emotional care. I work from home full-time in a cozy townhouse by River Road. Pets aren’t crated and are free to relax, cuddle, and enjoy peaceful daily walks. I recently said goodbye to my Cocker Spaniel, so I have no pets now. I work from home live River Green perfect for peaceful, flexible daily walks.

“Coco was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very friendly and met me on time at my door and immediately Benji took off with her. It seems like they had a great hour long walk. I would book Coco again without hesitation.”
“Aylin is amazing ! She takes our dog on nice walks and I can tell she has a passion for animals. Love the walk updates and photos. She is so sweet to work with, and my rescue dog got comfortable with her easily. We love you! 🥰”
“Mandy was incredibly caring and so kind to our puppy Mabel. She was so happy to accommodate us, and every day she had such a thorough summary of the walk. She sent many pictures and videos every day that brightened up my busy work day! My puppy loves her so much, and she eagerly greets her as a new best friend. We'll definitely be using her service in the future, and I'm so thankful to have found Mandy and Jacky!”
“Yue was great with my dog Arvo! He kept me informed and was very friendly to provide me updates during his walks and playtime! Happy to recommend anyone looking for a sitter/walker for any pets.”
About: I grew up with my grandmother’s female cat, who I considered my big sister, and my parents have three dogs at home. I currently care for my own rescue cat, Maulie, who I adopted off the street. Over the years I’ve also looked after pets for family and friends, handling feeding, walking, and overnight care. My philosophy is simple: I treat cats like guests, not pets to be managed. I respect their independence fully — there’s nowhere off-limits in my home. Countertops, beds, top of the fridge — wherever they feel like being, that’s where they can be. I don’t change their behaviors or train them. You’ll pick up the same cat you dropped off. I feed manually — wet food, dry food, or whatever you prefer — because I believe in watching how they eat and adjusting accordingly. No auto-feeders. I want them to feel attended to, not processed. I use a Litter-Robot so they always have a clean bed of litter. And they sleep wherever they like, including on beds if that’s their thing. I understand how it feels to be away and not able to care for your pet — everywhere you go reminds you of your babies. I don’t have fancy facilities made for professional cat care, just a second home for your meow meow babies. I work from home, which means I’m home most days and able to give cats plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent routines, so your pet is never left without care. I live in a calm, family home with my daughter and our rescue cat, Maulie, so your cat will be joining a household that’s used to gentle routines and lots of attention. I believe in indoor-only cats — they stay inside, always safe. I use a Litter-Robot to make sure litter is clean every single time, and I manually feed every meal to make sure nutrition is on point. The apartment is bright and fully windowed. I won’t let your cat onto the balcony unless you prefer it — and even then, they’ll only be out there when I’m physically present with them. The space is quiet, safe, and pet-friendly — just a calm second home while you’re away. Maulie is a friendly, socialized cat who spends most of her time sleeping. She gets along with almost every cat, and if she’s not in the mood to play, she has her own secret hideaway spot where she goes to be left undisturbed — so your cat always has space to decompress too.
“Faith was so sweet with Balto and so considerate with me the whole time. I love that she was equally as excited as he was to see each other and I was 100% confident that my fur baby was being well taken care of. Looking forward to working with you again :)”
“Sarah has been a tremendous help with Leia's morning walks. At first, my pup was hesitant and needed a little encouragement to go outside. Now, she happily trots out with Sarah, who has become like family to her. I trust Sarah completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and punctual dog walker!”
“Ryan did a great job bonding with our dog, Archie, and took him for a long walk in our neighbourhood. He’s keen, engaging and interested in doing a great job. I highly recommend him.”

About: I was raised in a pet-loving family and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all life stages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve even helped my own dog deliver her babies, and now as my doggy siblings have gotten older, I care for them through challenges like dementia and cataracts. Growing up with three doggy siblings has taught me exactly how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. I'm currently working part-time, which I can spend lots of play time with your furry family member. I value not only giving them food and water, but also that spiritual happiness, so play dates are for sure! When caring for pets, safety is my number one priority. I always make sure the environment is secure, check that doors and gates are locked, and keep any dangerous items out of reach. To give your pet the patient care they deserve.

About: I am a former dog mom who raised a female Shih Tzu from a puppy, and I firmly believe that love and intentional care help animals live longer, healthier lives. Her name was Java and she lived past 15 years and remained active well into her senior years. Some of my most cherished memories with her included dog walking, baths, car rides, bonding time, and trips to the park. I didn’t treat her as just a dog—I treated her as family because I truly loved her. In addition to my own dog, I have cared for other family dogs, nurturing them from puppyhood to adulthood with the same level of care and dedication. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety and shyness, as my own dog experienced this and overcame it through building trust, providing positive reinforcement, playtime, and bonding activities that I provided. I love nature and adventurous activities, which allows me to actively engage and enrich the lives of furry friends. As a nurse, I am naturally empathetic, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and patient care. I live by the principle of not doing harm but always doing good—this extends not only to humans but also to every dog I care for. I aim to provide services that are tailored to furry friends, because every furry friend is unique and has different needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of furry friends because even though they cannot speak, they truly understand and feel when they are loved. My goal is not only to provide services but also to make a lasting, meaningful impact in the life of every furry friend I care for! Each service is personalized with unique care, some services include, Puppy Training 🐶 Experience with dogs at all life stages—from puppy to senior 🐶🐕 Experience caring for sick dogs🌡 and administering oral medications Enriching activities such as dog walks and playtime⛱️🏕🐩🐕🐶 Personalized services including progress reports📋 seasonal health brochures, meeting hygienic needs, and so much more🥰 I am a nurse currently in graduate school, which means I have flexible weekly hours and can provide dog services on a schedule that works well for you. I also offer weekend boarding with advance booking. I can also accommodate last‑minute bookings as well. I provide safe, personalized care in your home, following your preferences to ensure your pet is protected and your home is secure. You can count on me to treat your pet with love!

“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“I can’t say enough about how much we were pleased with Sandra’s service. It was our first time in 7 years leaving the dog with someone. My wife was extremely worried. But the first day we received a picture of Max (our dog) walking with kids to school, we realized he is fine, which allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our vacation. Sandra is very caring, responsible and just great. We were receiving pictures and short reports every day and in general the communication was very easy and prompt. Max had a great time as well, being in a company of kids and a centre of attention, we couldn’t find a better arrangement for our dog. And actually we think he misses them. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of our dogs. We know that they are in such a good care when they are in your hands. We received daily updates of our dogs having a great time with Coco. We plan on boarding them again soon.”
“This was the first time leaving George with a non family member. Ashleigh made us feel so comfortable and that George would be looked after. She sent pictures and updates which made us feel happy. George really enjoyed his time and I could see he was cared for and was treated like a king. Thank you and we will book again with Ashleigh, as we know she really cared for our Mr George. This was a great experience.”
“I only chose Anita from seeing other peoples reviews, and they weren’t kidding. Anita took great care of my cat, made sure it had a good time, and made sure it came back clean. If your pets needs a caretaker who is considerate, enthusiastic, and professional, choose Anita.”
“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“Despite the late hour, thank you so much for responding and helping us on such short notice. Zhikun and his family handled my three dogs calmly and skillfully, making me feel at ease from the very beginning. They took great care of them with regular walks, and on the last day, they even gave them a shower and sent them home with a thoughtful gift, which I truly appreciated. Zhikun also runs a pet shop, which further reassured me of his experience and reliability. I’m very grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend them.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Anmol and Abhinav’s pet sitting services for our dog, Nova! As nervous dog parents, we really appreciated how they went above and beyond to ensure Nova had a fun and safe time while we were away. Their dog, Bella, was the perfect playmate for Nova, and it was such a relief to know she had a companion to spend time with. Anmol and Abhinav worked wonderfully as a team, providing us with regular updates and adorable pictures of Nova’s adventures. It truly eased our minds to see her so happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Anmol and Abhinav for anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Anisa was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Most importantly, it was clear that my dog was comfortable with her and had a great time while in her care! It’s always reassuring to know your dog is happy and well looked after, and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“We tried Doggy Meadows for daycare with our timid and nervous pup Canela and were happy with the whole experience. The place is super clean and looks brand new, which immediately put me at ease. Canela is pretty scared of other dogs, so we needed her to stay separate. They had no problem with the request and took great care of her. I also liked that each suite already had its own bed, bowls, and fresh water. I wasn’t aware that this location is ‘Doggy Meadow’, a lot of great details on their webpage. The owners were very welcoming and greeted us right on time. It’s a family-owned business and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs. They answered all my questions quickly and clearly, which was a huge relief because it had been a long time since we tried any sort of daycare with our skittish dog - since my sister was our original dog sitter but has now moved. The big gated field is beautiful. Canela got to go on off-leash walks and just roam around happily, which made me so glad we chose them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring, clean, and well-run daycare! Thank you Yoni and Lonnie ☺️ Canela is looking forward to more exercise 😌”
“This is the 3rd time Jacky has watched my dog Rosie. He’s great with communication and sending updates. Very accommodating with days and times. Rosie gets along well with his dog Rex and Jacky’s place is great.”
“Maya had a great time with Maria and Gabriel. We can tell she is comfortable with them right away. They sent updates and pics, and communication was fast and easy!”
“Zem updated me with photos everyday while I was gone. I didn’t have to worry one bit about Bailey while I was on vacation as Zem did an excellent job taking care of Bailey and loved my dog like hers. Highly recommended! :)”
“Heather was incredible with my 8 year old girl Bambi! She gave me daily updates of their walks and cuddles and I could tell she genuinely cared for Bambi and wanted to make her feel comfortable. I felt so at ease immediately have my baby in her care and I will definitely use her again! She hardly wanted to leave when I picked her up!!”
“Veronica was great at communicating I appreciated the reassurance as I dropped my dog off during a time fireworks were prevalent. She was also very kind and considerate when it came to being flexible with my schedule (flight delays). The reassurance included pictures of my dog which I was happy about.”
“Ranah and Franki were great sitters for my guy Fozzie. It was reassuring to know that he was in great hands while I was away. Thank you both so much for making sure he had his meds when he needed them, and letting him hang out with your awesome dog. I will definitely have Fozzie stay with you again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Allison! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Allison was also incredibly accommodating with our schedule. We got stuck in unexpected traffic and ended up arriving much later than our planned pickup time. She was so kind and understanding, staying up late so we could pick up our dog without any issues. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate Allison’s kindness, flexibility, and excellent communication. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“I left my dog (an Amstaff) with Derek for a week, and I couldn’t be more grateful! He took such great care of her — spending time together, going for walks, playing, and making sure she felt comfortable and safe the whole time. He also sent me regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. Highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter. Thank you so much for your help! 🐾”
“I only trust Benjamin and his family with Nico <3 they are so caring and sent me multiple updates during the day. They are the only ones I trust and only book with them!”
