“My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.”
“You know when you have a good Rover sitter qhen you precious pup doesn't mind going and comes home happy. Henry & Cheryl take great care of our pup, keep us updated regularly and we will continue to use them when we need caring sitters.”
“Shannon and her family are dream caregivers. Great advanced communications, frequent updates, plus a very chill cat for my sweet Zoey to follow around.

“Our dog Dallas couldn't have been more happy and well taken care of during his stay. He's a wild energetic hound and had a blast playing with her dog. He came home happy and exhausted. Charlotte updated me regularly during his stay so I was always at ease knowing he was having a great time! I will absolutely use her again!”

“I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back”

“Melissa was super attentive to our post-surgery boy's needs while we were away. I got updates every day with his progress. She even introduced him to new things. He was quite the happy dog when we got home. We'll definitely call on her again when we can't take Kai with us.”
“Lawdy was great to work with! She watched our two dogs for almost a full week, after being asked very last minute, and she gave them the love and attention they needed while she had them. We also had our return flight canceled because of the Microsoft crash (July 2024) and we needed to get home, so we rented a car to drive home instead. It took us an unexpected extra day to get home to pick up our fur-babies, and she made it so easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Lawdy for your dogs. 💕”
“Zeke had a wonderful stay with Rebecca! He was well cared for and comfortable being there. She took awesome care of him and I felt really good about him staying there. She kept me updated with pictures and notes. I will be using her services again!”
About: I love animals and have lots of experience taking care of them. I have three furry members in my family--two cats and a dog. All of our animals were adopted from shelters when they were under one-year-old, so I have experience taking care of puppies, dogs, and kittens. I have volunteered at animal rescues, and so also have experience taking care of cats. Of course, I will take care of the basics like feeding and walks, but I will also make sure that your pups and cats are engaged and comfortable in our home. I will treat your furry family member with the same care I give to my own! I am home all the time! I will be available to take pups for walks, or attend to cats who need some play time, whenever I am needed. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to play in, and a large house for cats to run around. Our pup is about thirty pounds and very friendly. The cats stay in the house but have the run of the whole house, save the basement and the attic. I live very close to a dog park and can easily take dogs there.
“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”
