About: I’m a University of Arkansas graduate and a lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has become a big part of my life. I have my own dog, who I got after graduating, and for the past 8+ months I’ve been fostering dogs in need through Big Paws of the Ozarks. Fostering has given me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, ages, and needs, including shelter dogs who may be nervous, stressed, or adjusting to a new environment. I’ve become very comfortable introducing new dogs into my home and helping them adjust to both me and my own dog, which is especially important when boarding. Fostering has also taught me to recognize canine body language and cues, so I’m able to tell when a dog is stressed, tired, overstimulated, or simply needs some space or a break. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to meet each dog where they are—whether that means lots of playtime and walks or giving a nervous or senior pup a little extra time and care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, runs, playtime, and snuggles, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. I have two extra bedrooms, so I can give each dog their own comfortable space at night if they prefer to sleep in a crate or have some quiet time. I’m also happy to let dogs sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to. My priority is always making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and supervised, while also making sure their interactions with my dog are positive.
“If you’re looking for excellent and personal care for your animals then Christopher is your guy! He absolutely saved me when I was desperate to find somebody to look after my two dogs and he did a fantastic job. Don’t even bother scrolling past him, go ahead and book!”
“Meagan and her family were so great to our Blu! She was very responsive, great at giving updates, and took him on walks. Blu struggles with allergies and she was so nice keeping us updated and was great about giving him Benadryl. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I can't say enough good things about Harriet. She is AMAZING!! we left our fur baby with her and her family for 10 days. Even though I missed him I NEVER worried about him knowing he was in good hands and well taken care of. She sent pics and videos everyday. Please use Harriet for your fur baby. She is absolutely wondfeful!”
“Iyari was an amazing sitter with our dog Margaux! She took great care of her and was keeping us throughly updated everyday all day! Would highly recommend Iyari to take care of your pet and will likely be using again!”
“We really appreciated having Sharon watch Koko. She was great about sending pictures and letting us know how our dog baby was doing. We really enjoy our trip because we didn't have to worry we knew that our dog was in a loving home.”

About: I’ve always loved cats and wanted one ever since I was young, and when I made it to college I was finally able to fulfill that dream and adopt my first cat, Walter, who was just barely a year old when I took him in. Raising Walter has been a truly wonderful experience- I’ve loved getting to learn what kind of food works for him, what toys he prefers, when and where he likes to sleep, everything about him. That’s the thing about cats; they can be a little skittish or scratch you, but oftentimes they just need patience, love, and the right attitude. Aside from raising Walter, I’ve also helped watch friends’ cats over the past two years, including a senior cat who needed a little extra love. It’s important to me that any kitty I get to meet gets the best care possible!
“Grace is amazing! She is always sending pictures and taking such good care of our cat while we are away. She is always willing to bring in packages that are left too. Mabel loves her!”
“Katelyn arrived on time and communicated with us during her visit with Ozzie. He is diabetic and she gave him his insulin injection and other meds. She took really good care of him. We will definitely call on her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 5 years and have experience with cats of all ages and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every cat like one of my own. I have my own cat, Bentley, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always had a huge soft spot for cats, especially strays. If I come across a stray that needs help, I’ll always stop to leave out food or water if I can. Caring for animals has always been something I’m truly passionate about. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, following special feeding routines, and caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to keep to themselves, I’ll be patient, respectful of their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”
“My kitty loves Carlie L! Both times I’ve had Carlie check on her, I’ve come home to my cat in such a good mood. She clearly loves her. Carlie is really patient with animals and takes direction super well!”
“While I was out of town, Anna stayed with my cat at the house. With tornado sirens going off, she grabbed him and stayed in an interior closet until all was clear! Sincerely over and above! Thank you, Anna, for everything!”
“Sharon is the sweetest and took great care of our anxious older cat. :) We were dealing with house repairs during Gravy’s stay and Sharon graciously let us extend his boarding two days past our original stay. She sent us pictures frequently and kept us updated on how he was doing. We’re so grateful to Sharon for making this piece of our circumstances less stressful!”
“Amanda was so great with our kitty Butters when we needed a sitter after other plans fell through! She was quick to respond to my request, and she always sent great photos and updates on how he was doing at each visit. I couldn’t be happier with her excellent service and care for Butters! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook in the future. I felt so much better and less worried on my trip knowing Butters was in such good hands.”
“Rachel was a life saver and did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while we were away! She was so great with communication and even though our cats are skittish she was so sweet and patient with them. We highly recommend her and would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have always been a dog lover. My husband and I have have dogs for our entire marriage. 22yrs!! They are such a part of the family!!! I'm a stay at home Mom. I'm at the house most all of the day. Always available for potty breaks, walks, and snuggles ❤️ 💕 I am always diligent on making sure leashes and harness are on and secure.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elkins
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a very flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love being outdoors and spending time walking, playing, and exploring with dogs. I live on acreage with plenty of open space and private trails where your dog can get lots of exercise and fresh air. I’m happy to walk dogs leashed or unleashed—whatever you prefer and feel most comfortable with. If your dog is more of a couch potato than an athlete, that’s perfectly fine too! I have plenty of experience with older, calm, and low-energy pets and am happy to match whatever pace fits your dog’s personality—whether that’s an adventure walk or just relaxing together at home. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they get the attention and routine they need. Communication is a top priority for me. You’ll receive frequent updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected while you’re away. Please note: I don’t stay overnight at clients’ homes, but I’m happy to offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and extended daytime visits. I look forward to caring for your furry family member! With a flexible daily schedule, I can give your dog consistent care and companionship instead of rushing in and out. Your pet will always be a priority in my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I am reliable, responsible, follow instructions carefully, and always treat every dog like my own.
“Lark was great with my pups! She was very accommodating and helped me out when one of them wasn't feeling well during their stay. She sent lots of pictures and made my pups feel at home.”
About: I’ve have worked with many dogs some with special needs like diabetes and cancer. I’ve had also worked with many senior dogs. Will give medication if needed. I am currently home every day and all day unless I have an appointment.Being home I’m able to give the dogs all of my attention In my home dogs are free to roam the house get on the furniture.there is also a doggie door for them to come in and out when they like. I’ve made the fence secure so they can’t get out .
About: I’ve been around animals since I was just learning how to walk, i’ve animal sat for my friends and family many times before and always update with photos when your fur baby and I are together 😊 I welcome all animals, big/small, low or high energy! I’ve been apart of the rover community for almost 2 years now and I’m really excited to meet new fur babies! I currently work full time but I work 5 minutes from home so it’s very easy to come and go for my animals and I always come home on my lunch break so dogs can be accommodated for! I have a fenced in yard, hardwood floors in case of accidents and 2 kennels, small/large if needed 😊 animals are welcome on my couch or bed, what’s mine is theirs 😊
About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!
“Becca and her husband were both absolutely amazing with my puppy!!! She was quick to respond when I would text her and was super flexible when I needed to change times due to scheduling conflicts. My puppy would leave their house so happy and worn out (in the best way) from long walks and play time!! Becca would also work on a few training things with him! I will 100% be using Becca again!”
“Jocelyn took good care of my boy and he dint have any accidents. Jocelyn is so cool and loving person, i feel my boy is safe with her always. I would love to choose her again!”

About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family for the last few years. With working from home it makes it easy for me to help out when needed. I have house broken 4 puppies and 1 adult that was not house broke when we got him. I’ve had experience with dogs with anxiety, yeast prone and dogs that have allergies. I know how to give shots if needed. We’ve rescued dogs and rehabilitated who were abused and neglected that had severe anxiety and trust issues. He have a larger home with a good sized fenced in yard full of love and fun! Reach out with any questions! I work full time from home Monday thru Friday. I am home the majority of the days my home schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to care for pets anytime of the day. We have 2 dogs, one large one small. We have wood and tiles throughout the home in case of accidents. Our home is 2700 sqft with a decent sized fenced in yard perfect for play time. We have a large patio that we utilize often that is covered with a large fan and plenty of shade. We don’t usually let the pups outside without us being out there.
“Christopher was awesome! It was a last minute notice and he was able to accommodate. Kira is definitely an energetic dog and he did great with handling her energy!”
“Where do I even begin! Luca had the BEST time with Barbara. I was on vacation and needed someone to help my husband with our puppy, and Barbara was incredible from the start. She responded quickly, and we even got to meet her and her dogs beforehand. Luca didn’t want to leave! hahaha! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby.”
“Tracy was great, took great care of Bracken, and sent updates throughout the day! She was nice enough to accept our request last minute. We will definitely bring Bracken back!”
About: I am a 8 year pet owner who’s taken care of family and friends pets. They’ll be cared for, walked, fed, and loved by me and my lovable dog. I currently work remote, full-time and can adjust with any given schedule. I am available anytime, so please set your appointment up now while times are open. I have a fenced yard with a fence inside the yard which is occupied by my dog house. My yard also has my lovable dog that will keep your furry friend busy. I can also crate your dog if needed.
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life, I grew up with 15 dogs on 3 acres. I have never not owned a dog with my senior pit coming up on 17 years with me. Currently home full time most days of the week, kids will be in school full time. I can work around your schedule & needs for pick-up, drop-off or drop ins. I live on 5 acres away from all main streets and a private drive for plenty of running space. I have converted my shed into a climate controlled dog house that has a fenced in area for the runners but if you prefer them to be inside I have plenty of space.
About: Hi, fellow dog moms and dads! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I work remotely, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will enjoy plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles throughout the day. I intentionally keep a limited number of boarding dogs so each guest receives individualized attention and care. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I may care for multiple dogs at once, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs simply need a quiet break. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing in a crate for short periods when needed. I also feed dogs separately to help prevent resource guarding and ensure everyone can eat safely and stress-free. Every dog is different, so I tailor enrichment to their personality and energy level, whether that’s fetch, puzzle toys, snuffle mats, frozen treats (with owner approval), or other engaging activities. I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds (such as English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs) and understand the extra precautions they require regarding heat, breathing, and activity levels. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, providing slower-paced walks, gentle routines, medication administration when needed, and the extra patience and monitoring they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’m Pet First Aid and CPR certified through the American Red Cross and keep fully stocked pet first aid kits both at home and in my vehicle. ✨ Optional Spa Add-Ons (Boarding Guests) * Bath (short-haired dogs) * Brushing * Teeth brushing * Ear cleaning * Paw balm treatment Just mention your interest when booking, and I’ll send over pricing and details! A few house rules to help every guest have a great stay: * 🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable around other dogs. * 🐾 Please disclose any history of separation anxiety, resource guarding, escape tendencies, or destructive behaviors so I can determine if my home is the right fit. * 🐾 Dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I’m a dog owner myself. I work fully remote, so I’m used to planning my day around potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and check-ins. Because I’m home during the day, I can be responsive with midday drop-ins and walks and communicate quickly if anything comes up. I keep a consistent schedule and plan routes close by so I can be reliable and on time. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Drop-in visits (up to 40 minutes) are perfect for a midday check-in while you’re at work or away. During each visit, I’ll follow your routine and make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for: a potty break, fresh water, feeding if requested, and some playtime/affection. I’ll also do a quick check that doors/gates are secure before I leave. Dog walks (up to 30 minutes) are a dedicated, leash-only walk for exercise and enrichment. I’ll walk at your dog’s pace, allow time for sniff breaks, and prioritize safe leash handling the entire time. After the walk, I’ll make sure your dog is settled with fresh water and I’ll send photo updates and a recap (including potty info). Boarding your fur baby at my home is like summer camp for them! I have a huge fenced in back yard and work from home so I am home majority of the time. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I often care for multiple dogs, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs need a break from one another. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing quietly in a crate for short periods when needed. This allows me to provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every guest. My boarding program is a great fit for dogs who: • Are crate trained • Are house trained • Are friendly with other dogs • Can be left alone for a few hours without excessive barking or anxiety • Are up to date on vaccinations & neutered

“Anna was kind and patient with my nervous dog. She is a genuine person with a genuine love for dogs and all animals and sizes in general. My anxious girl warmed right up to her and came back tired and content after their walk. If you have any doubts, don’t! Book Anna now!”
About: I have worked at Best Friends Animal Hospital for over 10 years. My husband worked there for 3 and has an animal science degree.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 95 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about six years, and I’m definitely the person who gets way too excited when there’s a dog at someone’s house. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors- whether that means walks, feeding, baths, playtime, or just keeping them company while their people are gone. I’m really good about following routines and instructions because I know every dog has their own little quirks. Mostly, I just want your pet to feel safe, loved, and like they got to have a fun day too. As a college student, my schedule has a good amount of flexibility throughout the week, which makes pet care easy to work into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and longer visits around my classes, and I’m happy to coordinate with your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. I also have more availability on evenings and weekends. I know having someone care for your pet also means trusting them in your home, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and happy to send updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: I love caring for animals - both my own and for others! I have sat dogs for friends on deployment, taken care of mixed pet households (including cats and dogs), cared for senior and disabled dogs, and have experience caring for a wide range of non-traditional pets as well. I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to a wonderful daughter, and my partner works from home, so I have flexibility in my daily and weekly schedules. I understand that different pets need different care and support. Have a super energetic dog? I love playing fetch and going on long walks. Have a kitty that needs silence and space? I'm happy to provide quiet company and respect their boundaries. I'm attentive, consistent, detail-oriented, and responsive. I take caring for your animals as seriously as my own.
About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet!

Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!
About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.
About: I’ve had big dogs my whole life and I’m an animal science major on the pre-veterinary track. I have experience in vet clinics, grooming, shelters, and dog sitting. I’m currently a student so I have plenty of free time to take care of pups! I am available during the weekdays depending on my classes and weekends are usually free. I have a yard, trains near me, and tons of room to play! I am with my two dogs all day whether it’s walking, swimming, hiking, or just hanging out.
“Kindell is a badass with bigger dogs. She came early in the morning and took care of my pittie-boxer with ease. She responded so quickly when I had a question about his behavior half way through the week! She even did a free meet and greet a few days before her contracted days to make sure my boy was comfortable and she knew where and how my normal walks went. She always sent pictures and fed him! I loved being able to get the reports each day and watch their bond grow too! Would hire her services for any vacation coming up!”
“Jocelyn is amazing!! I work 12-13 hour shifts and she takes snowball in between. Snowball loves her and her little girl and it’s so nice knowing my baby is in good hands!!! If you want a loving, caring, person to take your fur baby….. she is the one!!! We love her!”
“Mia came in, grabbed the puppies, their things, and hit the road for some serious walking time. It was great to know my beloved puppies got some mid day excercise on a rare day when we weren’t home with them. We will ask for her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have had four dogs for most of my life, and I am away at college right now and missing them, so I am taking up dog sitting. I am willing to hang out with pets literally anytime. I am always down to take them on walks or pet sit them. I will always make time for animals. I have a big backyard with a fence, so my pets do not get out. I feed pets on time every time and make sure they never have to wait to go potty.

“Jocelyn was so sweet and did amazing with my dogs! She sent updates and was accommodating with having to pick up my dogs late. Definitely recommend and would rebook!”
“Lark is amazing!!! This was my first time using her and I can only say good things about her. You can tell she cares about your animal and puts you at ease leaving them with her! My pup loved her will be using her again:)”
“Layne was the very first sitter we booked through Rover, and she made the whole experience wonderful. Our initial meet-and-greet went great, and while we were away, she sent daily updates with photos of Dean clearly having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and comfortable in her home. We’re so thankful for the care and attention she gave him, and we’d definitely book with her again!”
“Second time having Chase watch Pony and again, he took care of our dog like he was his own. This time it was for 9 days. I got updates and pictures/videos everyday. Pony is very well loved and spoiled when he's there!”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
About: I’m a University of Arkansas graduate and a lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has become a big part of my life. I have my own dog, who I got after graduating, and for the past 8+ months I’ve been fostering dogs in need through Big Paws of the Ozarks. Fostering has given me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, ages, and needs, including shelter dogs who may be nervous, stressed, or adjusting to a new environment. I’ve become very comfortable introducing new dogs into my home and helping them adjust to both me and my own dog, which is especially important when boarding. Fostering has also taught me to recognize canine body language and cues, so I’m able to tell when a dog is stressed, tired, overstimulated, or simply needs some space or a break. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to meet each dog where they are—whether that means lots of playtime and walks or giving a nervous or senior pup a little extra time and care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, runs, playtime, and snuggles, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. I have two extra bedrooms, so I can give each dog their own comfortable space at night if they prefer to sleep in a crate or have some quiet time. I’m also happy to let dogs sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to. My priority is always making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and supervised, while also making sure their interactions with my dog are positive.
“If you’re looking for excellent and personal care for your animals then Christopher is your guy! He absolutely saved me when I was desperate to find somebody to look after my two dogs and he did a fantastic job. Don’t even bother scrolling past him, go ahead and book!”
“Iyari was an amazing sitter with our dog Margaux! She took great care of her and was keeping us throughly updated everyday all day! Would highly recommend Iyari to take care of your pet and will likely be using again!”
“We really appreciated having Sharon watch Koko. She was great about sending pictures and letting us know how our dog baby was doing. We really enjoy our trip because we didn't have to worry we knew that our dog was in a loving home.”
“Poppy was so happy. She didn't want to go back home! That has never happened before, so she must have had an amazing time. I also appreciate the updates during the stay, just the right amount.”
“Marissa did a great job taking care of my dog, and was very easy to communicate with. She provided updates and went above and beyond to make my very nervous dog feel more comfortable. Her dogs are also very friendly and tried their hardest to be friends with my shy puppy. Maybe next time my dog will play with them.”
“Our dog seemed to love it there. I was a little worried how she would do with their dogs, but she did great. I received just the right amount of communication and pictures (for me). I will be using Elizabeth again.”
“Fantastic! Cooper out golden retriever had a very nice stay, which put my mind at ease while we were on our trip. He now has a new friend named Toby , Emily’s golden.”
“Max was amazing. We dropped off our 3 month old puppy, Huevito, and were pretty anxious since he’s still so young and on a strict routine. Max immediately put us at ease by sending videos of Huevito and his own pup wrestling and playing in the yard. He followed Huevito’s schedule exactly as we’d laid it out, which was such a relief. It was clear Huevito had a great time - not just playing, but also learning how to be a good dog under Max’s care. He even helped desensitize Huevito to blow dryers so he won’t be scared at the groomer, and he kept up with his kennel training too. When we picked him up, he was freshly bathed with his nails clipped. Now that he’s back home with us, we can tell that he’s happy, tired, and clearly had a good time with Max.”
“Our golden stayed with Emily for a little over a week and had the best time! As soon as we pulled up to her house my golden ran to her door, which to me is a fantastic sign since our golden has a lot of anxiety. Emily sent many pictures and updates throughout our trip that I didn’t need to worry if she was having a good time. If we need to travel again we will definitely be rebooking!”
