“It’s always uncomfortable leaving a pet in a new place but with Angie that feeling vanished quickly. She’s responsive and punctual and great with animals. I could tell my pup was happy and relaxed in the pics she sent while I was away. Zeus had such a good stay he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up!”
“Aki had a great time with Neide. She was very patient with adjusting for Aki’s needs and to get her comfortable. She was taking a lot of pictures and videos to keep us updated with Aki. We’re definitely going to book her again if we need a dogsitter.”
“Our Harley has never been so happy staying away from home. He was smiling every day! Corinne & John are excellent, reliable and very kind. So glad we found a second family for our Harley! Thank you Corinne & John! See you again soon.”
“Doug was absolutely amazing. He provided us with daily updates and photos. Both of our dogs received lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We look forward to using his services again.”
“Te gets five stars across the board from me. This woman has a passion for dogs and you can really tell by her profession. Te contacted me throughout the day during onboarding services for 3-4 days with pictures, and other updates regarding my pup's stay. She's so soft-spoken and her hospitality is above and beyond. Upon the meet and greet intake she and have spoken for over an hour getting to know each other and she made me feel like I've know her for years. I will definitely be a return client and highly recommend her. She's awesome guys”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs in a household together. Although my current 3 year old Golden has never been around cats. Champ is my daughter's dog but he hangs out with me sometimes. Im currently available all summer I will then be available nights and weekends during the school year to babysit your pup. I look forward to it. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked and given play time and attention. Pets have their own personalities so individual needs will also be met.

We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”

About: I have 7+ years experience with my moody fur baby. and have been actively sitting for my friend's dogs and cats. Its just me and my baby at home so your special one will get ample amount of love and attention. I am available at home 24hrs on Monday & Tuesday. (And occasionally on weekends) For any other days i am available only after 8PM . My own baby is very moody and requires a lot of attention .But i have trained her well. Pets have full freedom in my house and i allow them on my furnitures too. There have been times where my baby only ate when i fed her from my hand. Its the same feeling i get when I feed babies. That sense of motherly love is what I like to give to all fur babies too.
“Another amazing experience with Noelle and her family! They treat my Jax like one of their own, and he’s always such a happy boy when he stays with them!”
“Jestine was absolutely amazing! She was sooo sweet and took great care of my dog, sent me frequent updates and pictures (she even made a collage)! When I got Milton back, he didn’t even want to leave! I will absolutely be using Jestine again for boarding! Your dog will be in amazing hands!”
“Nicholas was amazing this past weekend with my 11 month old puppy. I am a first time Rover user and wasn’t sure what to expect. Immediately upon meeting Bauer Nicholas picked up on his personality and worked the entire weekend around fun play, exercise and instruction. Nicholas’ home is a dream come true for any dog- he takes then on hikes and gives them tons of exercise and socialization in a small group environment. Nicholas sent lots of videos and pictures and was in constant communication. I received more helpful info about my dog under his care than any trainer I have ever used. I highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely have him take care of Bauer again!”
“Blessed to have Stephanie and her family here to watch our pups when we leave town. Knowing our pups are in her care removes a ton of stress. She always does an amazing job and can tell she has sincere care and love for them. And as always, she sends tons of updates and pictures which our family loves getting”
“So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!”
“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”
