“Charley was great with our dogs. She sent video and photo updates each time we dropped-in. The dogs were happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Charley. We hope that next time we need a drop-in dog sitter, you would be willing to watch them again.”
“Took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for the holidays! Detailed information was sent every visit and Krystal took the time and care to make sure everyone was happy! Will definitely book again when I have the need! Thanks so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!”
“This is our second time and we will for sure use her services in the future. We love getting detailed reports, pictures and videos and our cats are so happy/well adjusted when we get home. We have a diabetic cat and Joyce is able to handle her insulin levels and a shy cat who has come out of her shell and loves when Joyce visits! She always plays with them and reaches out with any questions or concerns. So dependable and trustworthy. We are so happy to have found someone to take such good care of our girls when we go out of town. Definitely recommend! 10/10”
“I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Jaymee was wonderful. One of my cats started on two new medications between the meet-and-greet and my trip. Jaymee was on board with giving the pills and watching for worsening symptoms. Kitties were happy during my trip and when I got home. Thank you Jaymee!”
“So grateful to Brittany and Branson! The kitties looked like they were having a great time. We have 1 that doesn’t warm up to anyone but she loved Brittany! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!!”
“Petrea was very efficient and Sweeeet. I’d never been away longer than a day with my kitty. This was a week and she was played with and fed well and got better every day with her fear. Pictures were sent to me every day. Came home to a healthy baby. Thank you Petrea. I’ll use her again for sure!”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I have 2 of my own. I will stay in the house to ensure that the dogs feel comfortable. I am free at any time as of right now. If any other questions please feel free to reach out. I am more than happy to accommodate any schedule. I usually stay at the client’s home to ensure that the dog feels comfortable in its own environment. But if need be I can bring them to my house.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! As a dog groomer I know the extent of care and kindness to give our fellow furry family members to make sure they are always happy and well taken care of. There's so much more to it than just fur and fluff, though. It's all about understanding their unique needs and how to communicate with them. By day I'm working for PrimPups Dog Salon! Where by surprise I am grooming dogs! So my life is constantly surrounded by our furry friends! I arrive home most days by 3pm! Weekends I'm free luckily not from dogs, I have two golden retrievers (Simba and Nala) and a chiweenie! (Letty). All of which are the friendliest of pups! On most weekends they are at our local dog park playing with the other pups in town! We are a down to earth and understanding family and would be honored to share our love to others! In our home we have half an acre of land for all the running and playing your dog will need! Our house can easily be set up to be separated in sections for pets who need alone time as well! We have crates for those who are trained! If not we have two separate living rooms with tons of comfy bed and toys! Our Goldens love to have visitors over to play with but if needed they can be put away! Canine CPR and First Aid Certificated ✅️

“Sumer is the best dog sitter! Our two German Shepherd's love her.

Punctual, easy to communicate with, follows the needs of our doggos. Highly recommend!”
