“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”
“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Hannah was amazing with my sweet baby girl Lily! She even trimmed her nails because I was too chicken to do it! Hannah sent lots of updates and pics to help keep my mind and heart at ease when I was out of the country. I have such appreciation for the love she showed mah lil angel and am grateful I have a safe and fun place to bring Lily the next time I leave for another adventure :)”
“Stephanie and family treated our babies as their own. Every time we got a picture, they looked very comfortable and loved. Would definitely take them back.”
“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”
“My new bunny had a great time with Jackie. She’s young and I adopted her after she was found abandoned on the side of the road so she’s shy and skittish at times. However, Jackie was very patient with her and won her trust. When I picked her up I had to chase her around because she didn’t want to leave. I think she was having too much fun exploring the big house and hanging out with Jackie. I’m so happy to use Jackie as my trusted pet sitter once again! He treats all my pets like one of the family :)”
“The most amazing person to leave your baby with. My girl was in such good hands and loved her playmate. Will 100% be using her again! The videos and updates gave me such peace of mind.”
“Ruth enjoyed her time with Courtney and Shadow. They all got along very well, and Ruth’s stay allowed her to socialize and take a break from her normal routine. Courtney helped me to not worry about Ruth or how things were going by sharing videos and keeping me updated on how she was getting along.”

“Thank you for taking a great care of Marven. We very much appreciated that you sent us pictures of her with an update daily, which helped us feel at ease that Marven was happy and well-taken care of. Thank YOU!!”
“Great communication. We were able to work around both of our schedules and set a drop off and pick up time that was best for both of us. She sent updates and pictures during my pups stay. He looked like he was having a great time. He even met a little friend. She is a dog trainer and without my asking she practiced on some of his skills that he has learned. I honestly don’t think he was ready to go when I arrived. He kept looking back. I definitely will be booking with her again soon. I highly recommend Madi!”
“Very good experience. My dog can’t talk but, looks like he enjoyed it at her place. Very well informed about him so, we didn’t have to worry much. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I always used boarding facilities. I think this is better for him instead of sitting in a kennel all the time. I would definitely go to her again if we need.”
“Loved how Christine sent pictures to us every day. I know they took good care of our dog as if she wer her own. They also took her to the dog park and on walks. Very good people☺️”
“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“She took good care of Danny and even sent me several photos during his 9 hour stay. Because Danny doesn't like other dogs, she had to make a special effort to separate her dogs from him.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Patsy!! She took great care of my 2 cats with 1 drop in visit per day! They loved her and the daily photos really comforted this cat mom’s concerns. She also brought my Amazon packages in for me. I really appreciated her availability for a last minute booking when I was called away for a family emergency! I will definitely use her again!! Thank you Patsy!!!!”
“Rachel watched our clan of cats again while we were out of town. She braved the 9" of snow in NLR and shared updates and photos, even stopping in for one extra visit on an especially cold day when some of the cats chose (poorly) to stay outside. Poop duty with this crew is practically a FT jobs, I know from experience, so thank you Rachel, we appreciate you so much!!”
“Danielle was absolutely the best! She was so friendly, and our cats adored her. Her daily communication was great, and we loved getting photo updates of all our fur babies. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing someone as kind and sweet as her was checking in on them while we were away. We missed our cats a lot, but we felt completely at ease knowing they were so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda look after my 4 cats while we were gone for a week and did a great job providing them with everything they needed until we returned. We appreciated her photos of each cat and updates on our home as well.”
“Ashleigh took amazing care of my cat, Roxy! She always made sure I was updated and took the cutest pics of Roxy. Roxy had a few special things she needed done like getting wet food and medicine orally and Ashleigh did it all. I felt at ease leaving Roxy in Ashleigh’s care.”
“Jodie did a great job caring for my pets as always, and also was extremely helpful with an unexpected water leak that occurred while she was pet sitting. Would highly recommend her!”
“Brice was the perfect rover for our two shy cats. He was patient and they warmed up to him by the end of the week - which is progress for them! He made things easy and communicated well. Would recommend him to anyone!”
About: Hey I’m Hannah! My Experience - From the time I was born I was raised with animals.Throughout the years, I've owned 6 different dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 7 ducks, 12 chickens, 1 beta fish and 1 hamster. My Dog - I rescued a Yorkie from a puppy mill in July of 2018. I named her Franky and we've been inseperable since! My Approach - I prefer to use positive reinforcement and treats when training a dog to obey commands. I can give your pet all of the pets and cuddles but can also respect their space if they’re more independent. I am flexible with pet care, but would prefer to have at least three days notice to work around my schedule. I am able to do local services as well as services within the same state. If I must travel for overnight services, I would like at least a week notice. I do not currently offer daycare or sitting within my home, but I am available to come to you in the event that you book with me!
“Darcy saved us when our sitter cancelled days before we left for vacation. She took very good care of our cat and went above and beyond keeping us updated on everything. I would recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Tabitha made it such a wonderful experience! She came by beforehand for a meet and greet, took thoughtful notes to make sure our girls were well cared for. Even our most skittish pup warmed up to her right away! Tabitha was punctual, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We’d be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Got along great with my girls! Sarah is kind, punctual, and very much an animal lover. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking care of my babies!!”
“Casey was a wonderful cat sitter who I would gladly use again. Great communication and she went above and beyond with making sure my cat area was clean. I would trust her with my kitties anytime!”

“Molly was awesome! She took care of our boy Enzo. Super responsive and Enzo really enjoyed his time, he came home happy and relaxed. Couldn't ask for much more in a sitter. 100 percent will be using her again.”
About: I took care of animals ever since I was a kid and I have owned my own since I was 18. I've always had a big heart for animals. I believe they should be treated just as any other family member. My husband and I only work part-time so we will be able to love on them and spend time with your animals throughout the day and night. I have a fenced-in backyard and a two and a half year old great dane that loves meeting new friends. Also have two children that love animals. I am able to crate if needed but we allow our dogs to roam freely in the home and on furniture if you allow.
“Charlene and Felix were great with my Archie. Good communication, a welcoming and clean home. Archie was happy and chill when I picked him up. We are from PA, but if ever in the area, I’d use them again for sure!!”
“Thank you Christian for taking very good care of Chuck! The location of your place was very convenient. Thank you also for sending pictures of Chuck during his stay and for the prompt response whenever I send messages. I will definitely send Chuck there again...hopefully soon.”
“Upon arriving the neighborhood was so nice.,, Then meeting her she was so welcoming her house was clean and smelled fresh you wouldn’t know she had dogs unless she told you: I am so happy my baby enjoyed her stay and she will return. ❤️”
About: Caring for animals is my life’s passion and my favorite thing to do. I make sure every animal I meet feels loved. The time I spend with animals is very therapeutic for me. I have 4 years of experience with animal care! I started off with one neighbor who needed me to drop in and check on her dogs. I fell in love and I have been doing this ever since. I am always looking for new opportunities to bond with pets. I can easily match their energy to cater to their needs. I will play, rub, or provide outside time as long as they want. If needed I can help with training basic commands. I also have experience administering oral and injected medication with dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so I am very flexible with timing. I love caring for and being in the presence animals so I will try my best to accommodate your schedule. I pay attention to what animals are trying to communicate with me whether they are anxious or just want their own space. Animals can sense that they can trust me and trust goes a long way when caring for them. I am very careful and cautious. Safety is my top priority.
“Gail was very accommodating and little 12-lb Sheldon had a great time, no problem getting along with her great Dane. Highly recommend! If she noticed we were in the wrong time zone she never mentioned it, all my stated times were an hour off! (Sorry Gail!)”
“Kristen was awesome! This is my first experience with Rover! So excited about this because I travel...A LOT! But I love my baby & I need him with me but can't have him all the time due to meetings & hotels that don't allow pets. Her 5yr old wanted to keep him...I told her they would fall in LOVE with my Peanut! ?❤️ Thank you Kristen!!!”

About: I've cared for animals since I was a preteen, having my own dog since 2013—well versed in all things dog, and I live less than five minutes from the nearest 24-hour emergency vet clinic. My pets are my life! I have a cat (10 lbs, female) and a dog (small terrier, 15 lbs, female) who are both spayed and socialized with other animals. The dog, Chanel, is especially fond of other dogs who are friendly, regardless of size. My cat's name is Ellie, a domestic shorthair, and she mostly stays away when there's another dog over. I have fostered dogs and kittens with local rescue groups as well as Little Rock Animal Village (LRAV). I am also a registered volunteer with LRAV. I'm currently working from home for the most part, other than going to a client meeting sometimes. I have cameras throughout the downstairs, where the animals will stay if I am gone. However, I spend quite a lot of time at home, which places me in a great position to be available to care for my pets and any guests I'm caring for, be it a foster, overnight or a board. I have a fenced-in yard, can go outside with the dogs, and I have a neighborhood that's walkable if that's a needed service. If I'm caring in a client's home, I go by their instructions and do not mind being flexible and keeping lines of communication open. I know pet anxiety, and sometimes we just want a little pic of our babies before bed. :)

About: My name is Angela. I worked as a kennel/doggie daycare manager at an Animal Clinic. I’m very familiar with administrating medicine to your fur babies if needed and being aware of signs of distress(stroke, dehydration Anything out of the usual) I already do some house/pet sitting for some vet clients now but would love to meet more people through this app. I would love to give your fur babies lots of love during my stay to offer them a stress free environment until you return home. Boarding is not for every dog or cat, and that’s why I want to provide a loving, caring and stress free home environment for them. I’m here to help! My life revolves around fur babies. They can sleep all day, play or just relax. Your babies will fit into my life no matter how they choose to spend their day. We treat every fur baby as our own. We have four dogs so they will have built in playmates. Cuddles on the couch is a must❤️
About: With two of our own pups , the oldest being 13, we LOVE watching friends' dogs and our younger dog loves having a playmate with her boundless energy. One of us works from home full-time and we're both here on evenings and weekends to care for and play with your pup. We have a large yard and love a trip to the dog park. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of dog beds. Our dogs are allowed anywhere but they're also crate trained and we're open to any instructions.
“Thomas has been amazing with my pup! I love the attention he provides my dog while I am away at work. Provides updates throughout the day which is always reassuring. My dog is truly happy coming to his door for drop off's! He even takes him for walks which is a huge plus as my dog LOVES them! I would definitely recommend giving Thomas a try. He's great!”
About: I have had pets, cats and dogs, my whole life and absolutely love them all!!! Which led me to work at an animal hospital. I work as a receptionist/vet assistant at Hillcrest Animal Hospital and have since 2021. I have experience in emergencies, elderly & younger babies, and any special care needs (giving meds, different feeding routines, nervous babies, etc.)! I work with animals all day, everyday! I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I am able to meet your needs at anytime of the day or week! Our family includes a 1.5 year old baby girl and a large golden doodle named Klaus. Everyone in my household is very friendly, gentle and playful!
About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention

“Amanda is far and away the best experience I've had with Rover. She continues to deliver, my pups love her, and I am going to continue booking with her. If you need walks, sitting, or anything else she offers - you can't go wrong with Amanda.”

Whether it’s a quick potty break or daily care while you’re away, we make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and seen. 🐶 Why We Love Pet Sitting Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. Between us, we’ve cared for dogs big and small, clingy cats, seniors needing meds, and playful puppies who never run out of energy. What we love most is building trust — not just with the pets, but with you. There’s nothing better than seeing a pet relax and enjoy themselves while their humans are away.

Whether you need an early morning potty break, a midday drop-in, or a late evening visit, we’re happy to work around your pet’s routine. We’re available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible. If you have a specific timeframe or routine your pet is used to, just let us know — we’re happy to follow it closely! 🐕 About Our Services We offer 30- and 60-minute drop-in visits that fit around your pet’s usual routine. Every visit is customized to what your pet needs — whether that’s a walk, playtime, meals, meds, or just some good company. We’re a team, so you get more flexibility and availability, and your pet gets more consistent care. We’re also happy to help with multiple pets, puppies, special needs, or senior care. 🏡 What You Can Expect From a Visit Each visit includes food, water, potty breaks, cleanup, playtime, and lots of love. If your pet needs medication, we’ve got that covered too. You’ll always get an update with photos so you know exactly how your pet’s doing. We treat every animal like our own — with patience, care, and attention to the little things.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for my friends and family for about 2 years! I also have two dogs and have always been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been working at a doggy daycare for almost 2 years now, so I have plenty experience in pet care! I currently just work as a part time employee and part time student. I do get about a 1 to 2 hour break in-between shifts. I also am able to get up early in the mornings before heading to school and work. I don’t work Saturdays or Tuesdays, so those days I’m very flexible! I’m normally able to move my schedule around to try and be flexible, I just normally need 2 weeks in advance to fix that flexibility! I currently live in an apartment, but I walk my two dogs on my off days about every 2 hours. When I’m working I just take my dogs with me to work so they have plenty of run around room! I also use treat puzzles or squeaky toys to keep them entertained and going! I always enjoy taking pets out for rides in the car, I always ask first before taking any dog anywhere that isn’t mine. My older dog can be a little snappy, so I don’t bring him around any of the dogs I dog sit. My younger dog is very playful however and loves everyone! Shes always looking for another playmate. However I do always ask first before I ever bring her to meet other dogs or pets! I also believe in a lot of love and cuddles!! 💚 I will always make sure your pets are comfortable and safe and feel loved! When caring for others people’s pets I always ask upfront questions about what is okay and what is not. Every dog and pet is different and have completely different personalities. I will adhere to their comfortability and personality!
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a kid, from hermit crabs and fish to dogs of all ages and breeds. Currently, I love looking after a 9-year-old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix and a 16-year-old Terrier Schnauzer mix, plus my own cats. I enjoy walks, playtime, snuggles, and showering pets with the love and attention they deserve. I feel comfortable with most breeds, am highly attentive, and take all care instructions seriously, making sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and cherished. I work Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with an hour lunch break, but caring for pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I can give love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles in the morning, during lunch, and after work, making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and cherished throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully and stick to their routine. I provide meals, walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also make sure the pet’s veterinarian contact information is posted where I can quickly access it in case of an emergency, giving owners peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
“Lauren was very quick to respond and was above and beyond understanding when I made a booking error (I forgot to update my new address after moving). She was very patient with our timid puppy. Loved getting the updates and felt like Bug was in good hands. Very friendly and would love to book again.”
About: The oldest of 3, I took lead in training all our dogs growing up. Getting better as I grew up, in recent years I've had the most experience w/ both elderly pups and puppies. I can't wait to meet you and your special babies! I live and work full time in Downtown LR, so you can rest assured that i'll always be close by in case of an emergency. I like being active on the weekends, I take my kittens out in their backpack carrier and walk the downtown streets every chance I get. My mountain of toys and climbing gear is no match for the energy levels of 2 sibling kittens. I welcome any fur baby to my apartment that might make a dent, but if your pet needs a more relaxed environment I have plenty of room to manage their exposure.
“Ashley was excellent with my dog! She is friendly, communicative, and consistent. I appreciate her being available when I needed it and I look forward to hiring her in the future.”
About: I have lived with cats and dogs since I was young. I have loved and cared for elderly pets, and pets with medically complex needs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to spend time with your pet on various days and times, overnights, and weekends! I'm happy to meet you where you're at. I love playing with high energy pets and spending time with low energy pets. I am happy to brush your pet, clean litter boxes and any messes made, feed and otherwise provide for your furry family member.
About: Hello! I recently retired from the army due to medical issues; therefore, I have nothing but time on my hands! I am unable to hold a traditional job now, so I decided to help others and their pets instead. I have one Pomsky who’s a little brat, but he’s the sweetest thing. My rescued German shepherd had to be put down recently due to MRSA. He had more medical issues than you can probably name. Because of this, I am pretty well versed in helping dogs with crazy medical conditions. If you have any questions, please don’t be shy to ask! 💕 Due to my military medical retirement, I have more time on my hands than most people. Unable to hold a regular job now, pet care is easily the most enjoyable thing for me. I just moved to an apartment downtown Little Rock, since homes are so expensive now days. Due to this move, there’s a high possibility I would have to bring my Pinsky with me. He is very playful and has never had any issues with other dogs or cats. He is also crate trained and potty trained. I added boarding and day-sitting for those special situations some people may have. Having a dog who had very special requirements for care and weird schedules required for care, I completely understand that there are some people who struggle to find the right sitter or just any help at all. So I’ll seldomly accept boarding/doggy day-care for those who are okay with their pup inside an apartment.
About: Animals have been a part of my life since birth. I have been touched by their kind spirits over the years and have been honored to have been loved by them and had the opportunity to love them. I have cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish and an axolotl…chihuahuas up to Saint Bernards. I currently have one 9 year old dog that was rescued from the woods and a 20 year old long-haired calico cat. I have cared for diabetic animals in the past and checked glucose levels and administered insulin depending on levels. When I care for animals, I try to duplicate their day to day experiences because we all thrive on routine right...this I have found helps your absence to not be as hard on your animal. I look forward to meeting you and your animals and caring for them as you would in your absence. I am dental professional who enjoys taking care of animals as well! Early morning visits and evening visits can be as long as needed or even overnight stays. Mid-day visits during weekdays are limited to an approximately 20 minute visit between 1-2 pm. I feel a home visit is necessary prior to the first visit to get down the routine of different animals and for your animals to see me in their home as a friendly person.
“Erin was awesome with our Bailey. She was always on time and took her for a nice walk and shared pictures of our pup while in her care. We would definitely recommend her to others.”

Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
“Jodie has been the best for my girl Embers walks! She is always on time and super flexible with scheduling. Ember and my other two dogs really enjoyed her visits! I will definitely look forward to working with Jodie again!”

“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”
“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Hannah was amazing with my sweet baby girl Lily! She even trimmed her nails because I was too chicken to do it! Hannah sent lots of updates and pics to help keep my mind and heart at ease when I was out of the country. I have such appreciation for the love she showed mah lil angel and am grateful I have a safe and fun place to bring Lily the next time I leave for another adventure :)”
“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”
“My new bunny had a great time with Jackie. She’s young and I adopted her after she was found abandoned on the side of the road so she’s shy and skittish at times. However, Jackie was very patient with her and won her trust. When I picked her up I had to chase her around because she didn’t want to leave. I think she was having too much fun exploring the big house and hanging out with Jackie. I’m so happy to use Jackie as my trusted pet sitter once again! He treats all my pets like one of the family :)”
“The most amazing person to leave your baby with. My girl was in such good hands and loved her playmate. Will 100% be using her again! The videos and updates gave me such peace of mind.”
“Ruth enjoyed her time with Courtney and Shadow. They all got along very well, and Ruth’s stay allowed her to socialize and take a break from her normal routine. Courtney helped me to not worry about Ruth or how things were going by sharing videos and keeping me updated on how she was getting along.”
“Great communication. We were able to work around both of our schedules and set a drop off and pick up time that was best for both of us. She sent updates and pictures during my pups stay. He looked like he was having a great time. He even met a little friend. She is a dog trainer and without my asking she practiced on some of his skills that he has learned. I honestly don’t think he was ready to go when I arrived. He kept looking back. I definitely will be booking with her again soon. I highly recommend Madi!”
“Very good experience. My dog can’t talk but, looks like he enjoyed it at her place. Very well informed about him so, we didn’t have to worry much. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I always used boarding facilities. I think this is better for him instead of sitting in a kennel all the time. I would definitely go to her again if we need.”
“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“She took good care of Danny and even sent me several photos during his 9 hour stay. Because Danny doesn't like other dogs, she had to make a special effort to separate her dogs from him.”
“I can't thank Joanne enough for taking great care of my baby, I have never left her with anyone before and I was very apprehensive. Once I met Joanne, I was immediately at ease in leaving Sable with her for 5 days. I will definitely use Joanne for future sittings and taking great care of my baby.”
“Our pup had a great time with Molly! She was warm and inviting from the first meetup. Very quick to respond and easy to schedule. Flexible with our travel schedule. Her place was neat with lots of space for doggies. We would book with her again.”
“Salma was so great sweet with our pup and so easy to work with .She was kind and patient when we needed her to be. She sent us multiple pictures, daily during a long stay. We will definitely rebook if in the area again.”
“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”
