“Drew was awesome. Communicated thoroughly and took time to send pictures of my dog. He was flexible with both drop off and pick up, which was a huge lifesaver due to change in travel plans (out of my control). I am super grateful- my dog came home clean, happy and healthy. Highly recommend!”


“I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care my fur baby received staying with Jessica. I was so worried about him and she did a fantastic job keeping me updated. She sent me lots of photos and videos during their week together. He loves being there and I’ll definitely have him stay again.”


“Denielle took Excellent care of our puppy while we were out of town. She has an amazing set up with a puppy room and a fenced back yard. Our dog had the best time playing with her and her family and her dog Xena! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive dog sitter!”


“Itzy did a great job taking care of our Lola for a week. She communicated with me everyday and sent pictures and videos as well. I was very impressed with her compassion and love towards animals. I would highly recommend Itzy to anyone !!”


“Jess took excellent care of our dog Maggie! She received lots of walks, cuddles, fun time with the family and their pets! We have used Jess for cat care too, she goes above and beyond and stays in touch!”



“Great job. She even adjusted her schedule to make it convenient for me to leave my dog with her at my convenience. She sent me a pic and kept me posted while I was away.”

“Stacy was very open to watching our puppy Bella on a somewhat short notice. During Bella’s stay, she was incorporated into Stacy’s daily life. She enjoyed the backyard with numerous toys, enjoyed playing with Stacy’s pups and even went out to dinner during the overnight stay. We received updates throughout the stay, without even asking (we loved this, as we could see Bella was having a great time!). Overall, we would rebook with Stacy in a heartbeat!”


“I can't speak highly enough of Nichole. The frequent updates they provided on my dog kept me at ease throughout the entire stay. The flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times made my life so much easier. Additionally, their own dog was incredibly friendly and became fast friends with my pup. It's a comfort to know my dog is not only well-cared-for but also genuinely happy in their care. Highly recommend!”


“We hadn’t left Blue with anyone besides friends and family for years. We felt Tyler and Ovy were a good fit and it seems like Blue had a good weekend! Tyler was excellent to work with. Very responsive and flexible through the whole process!”


“Jennifer was so great with Karl! Her home was very clean and welcoming. She made sure that Karl was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time he was there. Karl was taken on walks as well as brushed during his stay. Karl got along great with her dogs and I could tell he was a happy pup when I picked him up. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay and I knew my dog was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”


“I love having Jasmine watch my dog while I am out of town! This is the third time she has cared for my dog and I can tell my dog has a great time while we are away! Highly recommended Jasmine!!”


“What an awesome find on Rover. Requested daycare at the last minute and David was more than happy to accommodate. Originally requested daycare for ~4 hrs, but appointments at Mayo kept being added on. Thought we would be finished around 2 pm, but not finished at Mayo until ~4 pm...no problem with David and his wife. Our Piper is a small rescue mix-breed with some anxiety issues, but she did great with their boxers. Several pictures were sent throughout the day that definitely decreased my anxiety. We were even gifted special treats that were sent home with Piper. I highly recommend, and will definitely use again in the future with our appointments at Mayo.”


“Juliana kept Leica for two nights while we attended a wedding. From the videos looks like Leica had a great time with Julian's dogs. We definitely will use Juliana again when we travel. Appreciate all of the attention you gave Leica.”


“Linda was great! She was happy to watch our dog on relatively short notice. She communicated well with us while we were away, and sent many wonderful pictures and videos. Our pup came home happy and exhausted, proof of a great time away!”


“Charity took great care of my dog while I was away! She sent daily updates and photos, and was always quick to respond to any messages. My pup was clearly happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Charity to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and I would gladly leave my dog with her again!”


About: Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. I am a 911 dispatcher and my schedule varies. I work 12 hour shifts and my husband is currently in the process to become a trucker. He will not be over the road, and comes home after his shift. I have several days off due to me working a stretch, but my cats are truly taken care of. We rent a small 2 bedroom house with access to a front and backyard. We live next to neighbors that have a beautiful male ragdoll cat that likes to visit from time to time. I love to clean and am very adament about my cats hygiene as well. Their litter boxes are cleaned up to 4 times a day, they never live in filth, they receive hair care and groom care. Their nails are trimmed regularly, and they receive wet food including dental care. I am also very concious of their safety. Basil tends to be scared of strangers at first, but we own a kitty cam, the cats have plenty of room, with access to all rooms, except basement (as it is not directly accessible through the home). Have window benches, a cat tree, and are allowed to lay wherever they want. The only boundary we have is them being on the kitchen counter.

“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

Mel B.
“My daughter and I have been living alone in Germany and I only had a dog before. In 1999 I found an eldery cat on the street that ended up being quite disabled. My daughter only being a toddler at the time befriended the cat like it was nothing. She was our loyal cat until she passes peacefully in 2004. Ever since she was a little girl she was surrounded by cats, rats and mice.”
