“Our usual dog sitter couldn’t watch Fredo so I hopped on Rover and found Chelsea! She was absolutely fantastic! Our dog instantly took a liking (more like loving) to her. We had such peace of mind while we were away knowing Fredo was in such good hands. She sent daily pictures and videos and always provided thorough updates on how her drop-ins went. She was so kind, caring, & loving to our doggie! :) I highly recommend Chelsea. She was just wonderful! Will definitely be requesting her services again!!!”

8. Irem T.
“I cannot express enough how amazing Irem and her husband were in taking care of my cat while I was away. Initially, my cat was very defensive, but they managed to make her feel safe and cared for. They handled numerous tasks, including administering her medicine, with perfect attention to detail. I received countless photos and videos from them, which reassured me that she was in the best hands. Their dedication and compassion were truly wonderful, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much for the gift. Mamajay loves it!!”
9. Nadezhda G.
“We would highly recommend Nadya Gerdes. She is very compassionate and loves animals. Nadya has watched our older Golden Retriever over a 3 day weekend and did an excellent job. She kept us updated with photos and ensured that our fur baby got her medicines. On a number of other occasions Nadya has taken our dog on Daily walks and took care of our cat. She was punctual and was conscientious about arriving on time for our dogs daily walk routine. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 2, 2025, at 6:08 PM, Rover.com <rover@e.rover.com> wrote:”

“Wendy did a fabulous job watching our two fur babies! Being out of the country I'm always frightened the AC will stop working for some odd reason, but she assured me that the house remained cool the entire time. Located in the same town as me, she could come to the house quickly if needed. The house was clean and tidy just like we left it. We'll definitely use her on our next trip!”

“I used Kamie's Canine Services this summer to board my dog at her house for 9 nights. I felt so comfortable and I knew I left him in good hands after meeting Kamie and her husband. We did a meet and greet with them prior to our vacation. Ollie, right away, seemed happy and comfortable in his surroundings. There was a fenced in outside area and her home was clean and comfortable for Ollie. During his stay, Kamie kept in touch sending pictures and updates. When we picked Ollie up, he looked happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Kamie's Canine Services and will be using her services again.”
