Alexis was an amazing last minute dog sitter after my prior plans with another sitter fell through. Moose was immediately happy to see her and ready to go spend the weekend his weekend away from home. Got daily updates/pics annd always knew he was getting plenty of love/attention. Would recommend 10/10.

Chelsea and Amy were awesome ! They provided daily photos and updates and I could tell Maximus enjoyed himself. There was plenty of yard space for them to run around and she had a kiddie pool for them to play and cool off in. Will definitely board Maximus with them again next time we go out of town.

Very easy to coordinate and communicate. Leslie sends informative updates and photos. Dogs were well taken care of. Absolutely my go to sitter. The layout of the house is very dog friendly. They settled in quickly and had the whole house to themselves. Leslie is amazing to go extra mile to create home away from home replicating all home conditions for dogs.

This was the first and longest time our almost 15 year old dog stayed away from us more than 1 night and didn't know the sitter. It was also the first time ever she stayed with other dogs in the house. I don't know how Steven did it, but our dog seemed to join "The Pack" and be happy. I loved how he sent pictures daily showing me she ate, enjoyed her walks and was doing well around other dogs. She came home well adjusted and happy! I would use Steven again.

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

My Nina requires patience, lots of it, and Casandra and her husband Donald had tons of it. They provided a very dedicated care to my dog, excellent, constant, often, extensive communication with many photos, took my dogs on walks and provided family companionship which is the best kind a dog can get. They’re very kind and professional and you can tell they truly love dogs and aren’t doing this just for money! God Bless them! I’m definitely coming back to them as soon as I need it. 100% recommended !

Dylan and Erica were amazing hosts for my little gal, Zola. They sent photos daily (without me having to bug them!) of Zola doing all the things she loves - sitting out in the sun, playing with other little dogs, and sleeping on the couch. I never worried about how she was doing. Excellent!

Erica was such a great care taker! We had been looking for a new Rover as our last family has had to step away. We could not be happier with the level of attention Erica gave Amina during her stay. We got photo and video updates and her communication was amazing! Amina came home happy and rested. We are so relieved to have a new Rover that we can depend on. Thank you Erica!

My pup came back full of life and energy, I can tell she had an amazing time under Mariyana’s care. It’s safe to say that Mariyana is my fur baby’s forever sitter.
