“5*!!! Many thanks for taking care of our baby while we were away! We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing she was in such good hands. The daily updates and pictures proved that Lacey was comfortable in her surroundings. We appreciate you so much!”
“Shelisha did an amazing job with Luna! She kept me totally in the loop with constant updates, including tons of pictures and video messages. If you're a fur parent who values consistent notifications about your pet, Shelisha is highly recommended!”
“Angie was delightful to work with. She responded quickly, communicated well, and was very comfortable with our 10 pound poodle and her quirks. Price was very fair. She is definitely our go-to person in the future.”
“Would ABSOLUTELY book again....We have an elderly dog and a youthful one and Iris was amazing with both of them. She was so good with sending pics/videos without me even requesting them. We definitely plan to book with her again. Her home was beautiful as well. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend Iris, she is AWESOME!!!! :)”
“Holli and her family were absolutely wonderful. I felt at ease immediately leaving my baby with them. Even after coming home, she checked in to see how he was doing. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Christian is absolutely wonderful with my senior dog Auggie. They play fetch, go for walks, and socialize with neighborhood pups. He keeps me up to date with notes, pictures and videos. Highly, highly recommended Christian!!”
“Our girl hadn't been away from home or us in a long time. She immediately felt at ease with Joanne. I highly recommend Joanne and her services. And Tilda (Joanne's dog) and my girl got along great and was a bonus playmate!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends pets plenty of times when they are away, never really done an arranged agreement such as rover, but have been dog sitting for friends since I was 15! I generally walk my own dog twice a day, so if that’s something you would usually do for your dog I would be happy to do the same! Otherwise I can let them out frequently throughout the day. I love dogs so I try to be as loving as I can to them. Whatever the owners need for their pets I’m happy to do. I would only treat your pet with the care that I do for my own!
“Karla was great. She was responsive and gave me regular updates with pics and videos. Benji made himself at home almost immediately and seemed to have a wonderful stay. I would definitely board Benji with Karla again without hesitation.”
“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them. They kept me updated constantly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog felt right at home and was truly happy. It felt like a little vacation for him too! I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”
“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”
“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”
“She was amazing with our boy! He was very nervous at first but she made him feel welcome and safe. I loved getting pictures and a daily summary from her. She went above and beyond to make his stay enjoyable.”
“Mikalyn and crew did a great job for us....they were warm and welcoming and our two girls seemed to enjoy their stay with them. This was almost a last minute booking and they went above and beyone to assist us. We will be using them again in the future when our needs arise for great sitters for our fur kids. Dominic and Ana”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
