Katlin is great with our two greyhounds! She was flexible with our changing schedule and consistently on time. Our old boy tripped on the patio step and got a bad scrape; Katlin handled the emergency well and kept us up to date with the situation. She'll be my first ask next time we use Rover!

Lisa did a great job. She looked after my cat and two dogs. She stayed at my home while we were gone. First vacation we have been on in a few years. I don't think my dogs missed us. Trustworthy and did as she promised. Would use her again

Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!

Victoria was amazing for our pups! She came over ahead of time to meet the dogs, see our home and take notes on feeding times, house information and any other important info on the dogs. We were updated and sent pictures all weekend which is very helpful and reassuring for a dog mama! She arrived on time. Vicki also left our house in better shape than we left it. Her care was amazing and my dogs loved her! Totally recommend!!

Yasmin is amazing! We are from out of town and needed care for our two dogs while we attended a family wedding. Yasmin patiently stayed for 8 hours at our rental walking, feeding, playing, and babying our fur babies. Our Sr. Lab has a multitude of phobias and can be challenging but Yasmin was patient and kind. All while dealing with our 1 year old Mini Aussi. I can’t wait to visit again and have her back. She is a life saver!

Abby was fabulous! Our pup was well cared for and we had updates and pictures through our time away. I was thrilled with the amount of time she spent with her so she was not alone in the house much... we recently lost her sister and she's still adjusting. I can't say enough about the great care. Thank you Abby!

Sarah Beth took such great care of our pups. She sends daily updates that are detail oriented and straightforward. She is sweet, professional, and easy to communicate with. We have boarded or had dog sitters before in the past, but they were by far the happiest we’ve ever seen them this time around. Our home was also in great condition upon return. Really, we would give her a 6/5 if we could. We will definitely be using her in the future and if you’re a natural worrier like me, you will be able to rest assured with Sarah Beth.

About: 1 year of professional dog and cat daycare and boarding experience. 2 years of dog and cat fostering including disabled kittens. Current loving home of 2 cats and a dog. I'm currently living at home after high-school and am unemployed. I used to work at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility, but decided I wanted to make my own schedule. I'm not very social besides with animals so my schedule is open and flexible. I own 2 cats and a dog so I'm unable to board or pet sit at my own house, but I can travel to your house and look after your furry friend in an environment I'm sure they're more comfortable in anyway.

Gretchen was fantastic! She provided daily updates and ensured our dog would be well taken care of. Gretchen provided us with peace of mind our dog was in good care while away on vacation. Upon returning home, we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. Plus, our apartment was nice and clean to come home to, which is great after a vacation. Would highly recommend Gretchen!
