Rachel has been awesome! She is reliable and it has been very comforting knowing our puppy is in experienced capable hands. She also is a good communicator about pertinent updates during the drop ins. Definitely recommend!

Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!

Ethan did a great job with Bravo! We have never left Bravo for this long and felt really comfortable leaving Bravo with Ethan. I'm pretty sure he kept him more entertained then we do an even brought him over a new toy, which he loves! Thanks, Ethan for taking such good care of Bravo and sending pics to us of him enjoying his day! We hope he is still with Rover when we need him again!

I highly recommend Tobi to take care of your pets! She has taken care of our dog Moses now multiple times and he is IN LOVE with her. Tobi is prompt in her response time to requests for visit reservations and very flexible in scheduling key drop offs and pick ups. Beyond the report cards and pictures I get while I am away, the proof of her wonderful care is when Tobi comes over to return my key and my dog just goes nutso gaga over her. I would not request anyone else, if Tobi is available.

Alyssa was absolutely incredible! She set up a meet and greet the day prior to come over and get to know my dog Sailor, and to introduce herself to my family since im not at home to meet her in person. Everything went smoothly and we were officially booked for the next day! She arrived on time and spent every minute available playing fetch with my dog and took to giving her commands very easily. She was very enthusiastic during playtime which I know my dog loved! Planning to book again in the future no doubt about it

Theo took such great care of my oldgirl kitty that when I got home, she was curled up in deep sleep. I rarely am away overnight. Miss Tippi is an anxious tiny. To see her well fed and relaxed put me at ease. I would highly recommend him!

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life from rodents to dogs. I have experience with labradors, basset hounds, German shepherds, Shih Tzus, and cocker spaniels. I also have had bunnies, turtles, ferrets, and I currently have 2 guinea pigs! I love all dogs, big or small! When I was in high school, I got my own yellow lab- Sedona. I trained her on basic commands: sit, stay, paw, lay down, roll over, and polite walking manors! I recently retired from the Army, and I have a flexible, part time recreation job. Mornings and Evenings are typically the best time for me to schedule, but because my schedule is flexible I can make accommodations! Whatever guidance I am given to respect someone’s home I will do! As for dog walking, I keep all dogs on a leash for their safety. I can do long walks or short- fast paced or slow sniff everything walks.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 55 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up and working on a farm, I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. This experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, recognize their needs, and provide safe, compassionate care. Dogs and cats have always been part of my family, and I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am a longtime follower of Cesar Millan's principles of calm, confident leadership and believe that consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions help pets feel secure and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you're away, or attentive overnight care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I am semi-retired and have significant flexibility and control over my time. I can adjust my daily activities to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care as needed. Because I manage my own schedule, I am able to provide reliable, attentive care and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I enjoy spending time with animals and appreciate the opportunity to stay active while helping pet owners feel confident that their pets are receiving the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Dogs in my care are treated as part of the family and are welcome on the furniture if boarding in my home. I believe pets are happiest when they feel included, comfortable, and surrounded by positive attention. My home is located next to a beautiful waterfront walking path, providing a safe and enjoyable setting for regular exercise and outdoor time. All dogs are walked on a leash to ensure their safety while exploring the area. I carefully monitor each pet's needs, energy level, and comfort to make sure they receive the right balance of activity, companionship, and rest. I understand the trust pet owners place in a caregiver, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve always had animals in my life since I was little. So I’ve learned at a young age how to care for animals. I currently have two dogs, a Goldendoodle named Ollie (4) and a senior dog Bella who is 17 1/2! So I’ve had experience with both the puppy stage and now the senior stage. I’m also a mom of 3 kiddos. They’re all in school so I’ve been looking for something to fill my time while they’re in school. So what a perfect way to do that and do what I love and hang with animals 😊 I drop my kids off at school by 9am everyday and pick up around 2:30. So I have that time in between for walking dogs etc I have two friendly dogs at home and kids who love animals too. I don’t have a fenced yard but I can always keep a close eye on the dog when they go potty or play outside. If they need to be leased at all times I can do that too.

Loved having Hope care for our pup. She did 4 drop-in visits with feedings, walks. Gave us welcome feedback on the pup, who seemed well cared-for. Hope was easy to work with, friendly & personable, reliable. She even noticed an unplanned delivery & brought it in for us. Would recommend her with no hesitation!

Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!
