Ebony was great with my girl Stella! She made her feel at home. Ebony sent me daily pics of Stella curled up next to her. I truly felt that Ebony and her family were great with Stella. I would absolutely leave Stella with her again! Thank you for being so amazing with Stella!

Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!

Ciara is the utmost professional on top of being an excellent caregiver. When our flight got cancelled due to storms & we couldn’t get back when we originally planned, Our minds were at ease knowing our Bella was in good hands with Ciara until other arrangements could be made. Her communication is excellent & Bella always enjoys her stay with Ciara.

Crystal was very trustworthy. She let me know how my dog Hollow was interacting on a daily basis. I felt that Hollow was in a very safe environment and I will use Crystal in the future and I’m sure Hollow would agree if he could talk. Thanks for allowing us to feel assured while we were on our vacation

I cannot express the appreciation I have for Heather. We had 2 dogs stay with her, including my dalmatian who is afraid of his own shadow. He did so well meeting her and seemed comfortable with her before I even left! She let my dalmatian sleep in the bed which is something he ABSOLUTELY loves because he does it at home. I will 100% be using Heather as my permanent sitter!!!!

About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.

Destiny treated my 2 dogs like her own - my nervous 12 year old ate every meal, got his medications, and had a great time. Besides just walking them, they got to go to our dog park. Her photo updates were prefect - I knew they were happy so I could enjoy my vacation.

I just relocated to the area and finding a new dog sitter was a pain point and a top priority after leaving an exceptional one behind. Found Emily through a neighborhood group and was instantly comforted by her kind approach, thoughtful questions and obvious love for animals. Just finished my dog's first visit and it was clear Emily earned his trust almost immediately. Regular updates and flexibility added to the experience. We are thrilled to have found a reliable and committed new sitter in Emily.

Anthony was great! Communicarion was good. He agreed to do a meet and greet before we decided. He was affecionate and engaged with Raven as soon as they met. Raven LOVES meeting new people, so this was great for her. She was with him from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. He sent pics starting soon after dropoff. He answered our questions about how she was doing quickly. We had recently had a Rover visit aith a different sitter where she either had a bad intestinal bug or a severe anxiety reaction. Nothing like that here. She was thrilled to see me when we got back, but is her normal self, not needing to recuperate! Will look forward to using Anthony again.
