“First, let me say I was so nervous about boarding my kitten, Pixie that I seriously considered canceling my entire trip. However, after meeting Meaghan & Johnny, I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed!!! Between the messages, pictures, and videos of her stay, I could tell that she was being treated like one of their own. What more could I ask for? I will never consider leaving her with anyone else!! Thank you, Meaghan & Johnny!”

“Donna is absolutely the best dog sitter ever! Lucy loves her, Will and her doggie family. When I take her there, I am always confident that she’s getting the best care.”

“Steven and his family were the best! We had never left our pups at anyone else’s house before and they had the best time. He took several pictures every day so we could see our babies. Our one Aussie is very shy and he warmed right up. I feel like they had a vacation right along with us. They were definitely spoiled. 😂 I will be using Steven again no doubt.”

“Chili Pepper had a great time with Shume earlier this month. We are new to the area and I wanted a different option for her other than a kennel when I went out of town. Shume was very welcoming and I could tell instantly that Chili Pepper would be very comfortable and have a great time with her. We will definitely use Shume again!”

“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“We love Colleen! You can tell she and her family genuinely love animals and see pets as part of family. She sends daily updates and photos without even asking which is such a comfort when you are away and miss your fur babies. I can see from the photos that my dog has great fun staying with them, she is allowed to snuggle with them on the couch when they watch TV which is something we do at home as well, I believe that is also a comfort to the dog. Their family dog Jax is such a sweet dog, he gets along with my dog perfectly! My dog always come home happy:) I highly recommend trusting Colleen with your pets!”

“Kira and her husband are absolutely wonderful and are great at taking care of our dog! We were gone for 10 days and they sent pictures every day and our pup seemed to be so happy and enjoyed his time. You can really tell they love to take care of dogs. We really appreciate them!! They were also kind enough to throw in a complimentary bath since our pup got so dirty! This really helped us since we were planning on giving him one anyway, but they went ahead and went above and beyond and helped us out with that! Highly recommended them!!”

“Dalis is always amazing with our pups She is our go-to sitter and our pups love their time with her. Her backyard is the ideal playground and we appreciate the thoughtful picture updates she provides, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. If you need a local sitter, look no further than Dalis…she’s the best!”

“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”

“This was our puppy's first time to be left away from her home. Alex and his care givers nurtured her the whole time she was there. She seemed to enjoy her stay. This is a well prepared environment for pet sitters. Would absolutely reccomend Alex and his farm to everyone. Our fur baby was well taken care of. I am glad to know that there are places out there that actually care for these pets like their own family.”

“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”

“This was the first time we used Alex. I am so relieved that we found her! Our dogs stay went well with no issues. Alex seems to be a caring person that loves animals. We are definitely going to keep using her!”

About: I love others pets like I love my own. I’ve had my own dog since I was 17 and took care of her in any way needed. I’m knowledgeable on a lot of things dealing with dogs as well as cats. I would sit with my friends cat when she would be gone to make sure she didn’t get into anything she wasn’t supposed to. I trained both of my dogs myself to sit, shake, and listen to basic commands. I currently am not employed. So I have all the time to take care of your pets throughout the week (Monday-Friday). Early mornings for when you need to drop off before work/ school and late evenings to give you some time to get home and ready for your fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard where my dog stays. So if you would like your dog to have some doggie playtime she would enjoy that! If not that is completely fine and if you have a crate that you would like your pet to stay in I will use that! Whatever works for you!

“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”

“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”

“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”

“It's never easy to find a new sitter when you move to a new area. We were so fortunate to find Diane through Rover. Honey is a loving and sweet dog, but nervous about new situations. Diane understood and went the second mile to care for her. What a blessing!”

“We highly recommend Barbara and her husband as the y took great care of our 15 year old senior pup. Our dog has some memory problems at his old age, and Barbara met with us beforehand to allow him to meet her, and also her sweet dog and to allow our dog to visit the house beforehand. During his stay, she kept me updated with photos and quick text updates which I really appreciated. They did a great job making our old pup comfortable for his time with them! We would reuse their service and will recommend them to others!”
