Will again book with her when opportunity comes again, she fed them nicely and took care of them very well and they felt being in their home.â

âMaribel was so good with my Gidget girl. Maribel sent me photos and updates every day. It really set me at ease knowing she was being so well taken care of. Maribel has a huge back yard so Gidget could run and play. Maribel was so nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely use Rover/Maribel again for my dog sitting needs.â

âFirst time user and I was nervous how our dog would do. She is a rescue and still learning how to be social with other dogs. Julie and family made sure she was comfortable and introduced her slowly. Julie was great responding when I checked in. Our dog came home exhausted so I take that as a good sign she was playing hard. It is hard to wear her out. We are very thankful to find a pet sitter that gives us peace of mind. We will be using them again!â


âLet me begin by saying how nervous I was about leaving our little Maltese mix dog for a weekend with a new dog sitter. This was her first time staying with anyone other than family. Jill & Liz quickly put my concerns at ease. They allowed me to take Ivory to visit their home prior to scheduling her stay. Their back yard has a huge resort like atmosphere for pets. Ivory quickly sniffed around the area and felt comfortable right away. I scheduled her stay without hesitation for the entire weekend. Once I dropped Ivory off for her stay, I started to receive updates right away. I received pictures and videos throughout the weekend. This really help put any anxieties to rest. Ivory enjoyed a spa day with the ladies. She also had a dress up day and I able to see it all from the pictures I received. Since we were out of town for Labor Day Weekend, and I felt so comfortable with Ivory being in such good hands, Jill and Liz were able to accommodate us by keeping her extra day! I appreciate their flexibility, especially since it was last minute decision to leave her an additional day. When we picked up Ivory, she looked so very happy! She was wearing pink butterfly wings, a super cute bandanna, and they even gave her little hair clips and her own brush! The ladies gave me with a framed picture of Ivory and a her paw print. I HIGHLY recommend their dog care services to anyone looking for Fun, Kind and VERY caring dog sitters. Ivory will certainly be back for any future dog care needs. Thank you Jill & Liz!â

âAkie was a five star dog sitter! She kept me updated all along the way and I could tell my pup was having a BLAST! She was so kind and considerate to my pups needs and Iâm glad I found her for future as well. Thank you Akieđâ

âAndy took good care of my dogs. They were relaxed when I picked them up. My medium sized dog enjoyed playing fetch. The little one enjoyed being cared around in the pouch. Andy cares about dogs. He has a large shaded yard.â

âO recently moved to the area and Aliky has been keeping my furry kid for daycare and overnight stays. She has been an excellent care provider for my dog. My dog has medical conditions and Aliky has been able to provide the sensitive care she needs. I appreciate her attentiveness to detail and the warm environment she provides for my dog. I highly recommend Aliky for your pet care needs.â

âIâve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommendâ

âWe were in a tight bind to find a place for our Loki to stay in while we went away for a couple of days. Thankfully, I found Dominie on this app and she was so amazing with communication. She sent videos and pictures and knew he was in great hands. He also socialized with another dog who was also staying there and had the best time. I am definitely booking again with Dominie.â

About: I have experience and patience to deal with dogs. My house is well maintenance and have a big yard for dogs to run around and play I have the time to do it. They just need to let me know with time what days and times will they drop off and pick up I keep them in a save enviroment. Feed them as told by per owner. Will have them in good care. And I have the time to care for the dogs and take them for a walk
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child. A dog's love and dedication for its human is so special and I believe they deserve the same. I am retired, so I have the freedom to make my routine work around the needs of the pet I have agreed to care for. I will be happy to abide by the pet rules that are in place at the home of my client. I will also, always treat the pet with love and respect and will give them my full attention.
