“We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our girl Callie received from Heather and her boyfriend. The 5 day visit consisted of belly rubs, cuddling, and walks in the park, and Heather sent updates, and photos at least twice a day. We will definitely be booking with Heather for future trips, and we highly recommend her, and her boyfriend. Such nice people and so obviously in love with the furbabies in their care! Thank you both so much!”

“Emily did a wonderful job caring for our two senior dogs during our vacation. She sent me regular photos and updates and was responsive to my messages. Emily and her family gave our fur babies lots of love during their stay at her home for a week. I would highly recommend Emily for pet sitting/boarding.”

“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”

“This was my first time using the Rover app. and I had a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough good things about Darci and the care she gave our Chihuahua mix while we were away. She provided daily communication and photos which I greatly looked forward to. Our little Mae will be staying with her again!”

“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”

“My little Wrigley can be a handful and doesn’t like to be away from her mom. But Carol was amazing! Appreciated all the pictures and communication that was sent to us. Made us feel at ease.”

“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”

“Erica was amazing taking care of our girls during a long stay. We had the chance to do a meet and greet with her and Cora, her dog, and everything went great — our girls got along really well. Erica kept us updated the whole time, sent pictures every day, and was always easy to communicate with and coordinate. Thank you, Erica and Cora, for sharing your space with our girls! We hope to see you again in the future.”

“As soon as my car door opened Luna jumped out and ran to their front door and started pawing at it to get inside. She loves the time she gets to spend with Lindsay, Matt, Stella, and Thor! I also feel like she comes back better behaved too 😂”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since an early age. I’ve cared for my own pets and those of friends and family. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be with your fur babies all day. Weekends are for fun and time outside walking and socializing. I live in an apartment with a fair amount of green space and a paved pond area for daily walks. I’m also conveniently located next to a dog park as well! I have two sweet kitties to keep your babies company throughout the day too.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—spoiled, snuggled, and talked to like they understand English perfectly (which, let’s be honest, they probably do). Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve grown up around them, lived with them, and loved every slobbery kiss and wagging tail, no matter the breed! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule—I work 7am to 3pm on week days, so I’m free for evening walks and full-time weekend pet sitting. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. We currently have two dogs that will be able to keep your pup company and to play with.
“I was really impressed with the way Taylor made arrangements so quickly after another sitter canceled a week before. The dogs were well taken care of, cage free, fenced in back yard, and they even had a playmate. Several pictures daily. I felt really comfortable. I was starting to Miss them, The last day. Very good communication, compassion and care all around.”

“Ashley and her husband were amazing. We drove to her home beforehand and she gave us a tour of her home. She kept me up to date with pictures of my pup through his stay and I could tell he was very well taken care of. We will definitely be hiring Ashley for all our pupsitting needs. Highly recommend her!”

“Andrea not only provided boarding for my dog but also truly cared for him and gave him comfort. She made sure my dog felt safe, happy, and loved while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and the extra attention she gave. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”

“I love how Sherry sent pictures and videos of our dog while he was staying with her. It definitely seemed like he had a great time! I felt very comfortable with leaving him in her hands. 100% recommend!”

“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
