This was my first time leaving for 10 days on vacation and leaving my dog. She would usually stay with a relative and only over a weekend. I checked out boarding, but couldn't bare to leave her in a kennel for 10 days. That's when I booked Jennifer. All I can say is that Jennifer is a life saver. I was nervous as could be and when we met her and Hector we booked that night. They put us at ease and our Lily loved them as soon as they walked in. Al I can say is that Jennifer made our vacation so much easier and comfortable since I was a wreck leaving her. We got several daily pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the day. Just constant correspondence and Lily looked so happy and safe in her own environment. Lily enjoyed her time with them and they were totally attentive to her and her needs as well mine as a first time doggy mommy! All I can say is Thank You!!!!! I most definitely will be using Jennifer in the future. Lily already misses her.

Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.

Brittany took excellent care of our rambunctious puppy Emmy and old man Gibbs. They both appeared very comfortable with her. She followed routines and communicated daily. She is extremely trustworthy and we will be utilizing her services again.

About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!

Christine was absolutely amazing with our two miniature dachshunds while she stayed at our home. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our 10-year-old girl Lychee had an allergy flare-up, and Christine followed all of our instructions carefully with both her medication and topical treatment to help keep her comfortable. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible she was with her care. We came back to a clean home and two very happy pups. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend Christine enough — we are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

My schedule is pretty flexible and taking care of animals comes easy to me! I personally leave my dogs out day and night. They typically sleep with my husband and I in bed and are the worst bed hogs😂. We take them on evening walks a few times a week and also like to take them on car rides to my parents house! But I’m open to care for my clients animals any type of way they prefer!

You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second

Sarah was great with Reno and Vegas. She came to meet them early as they are scared of everyone. She was patient with them and they came to enjoy her company. My house was immaculate wjen I arrived at 7:30 am! She was a pleasure to work with. I don't travel often but if I ever needed a sitter again, I'd use Sarah

Saige was excellent! She took very good care of our precious pug who suffers from separation anxiety. She stayed in our home for 10 days. Our home was as we left it. We are very happy with the level of care. We received photos daily which were reassuring to see our pug being in good hands. We highly recommend Saige.

We had such a wonderful experience with Anabel ! She took amazing care of Abbie and treated her like one of her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Abbie was in loving, capable hands while we were away.She kept us updated with such great photos of our sweet Abbie, made sure Abbie was happy and comfortable, and went above and beyond to make the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Abbie! Looking forward to using in the future!

Both of my mini Australian Shepherd's adored Colin! He was very attentive and played with them a lot! They both slept like babies after he was here for the night! We will definitely use his services again ! Our dogs went to the front door to watch him, leave and looked sad! He was well loved and very respectful at our home!

I was so anxious about having someone I had only met once watch my dogs at my house for almost 2 weeks. I have an epileptic toy poodle who takes daily meds to prevent seizures and an elderly mostly blind and deaf chihuahua. So they are definitely high maintenance. Joseph was absolutely perfect for the job. He answers texts quickly and had no issues giving meds. I would absolutely use him again.

Brittany arrived on time, and provided photographs and feedback on our Great Dane's activities. She left the house in the same condition as when she arrived. She gave us updates on our girl's eating (she sometimes doesn't eat well when we are out of town), and let her sleep with her a bit! Overall, good experience! Thanks, Brittany!
