“We were nervous to leave our dog since we had just moved to the area, but Bonnie took such good care of him and sent us updates with pictures to let us know how he was doing! We are very appreciative to Bonnie for how she cares for our dog and we will definitely request her for boarding or daycare services again!”
“Marci was a great sitter for my dog Hank! I could tell from get-go that she’s experienced with taking care of pups and that she treats her pup Sadie amazingly too. She was a great communicator with fast responses, and answered all my questions to make me feel confident about having her watch Hank. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!”
“Once again, Pepper had a great time at Jackie’s house. She always looks healthy and well taken care of when I pick her up. She sees Jackie’s house as a second home and hides when I come to get her because she doesn’t want to leave. I truly believe any pet is lucky to stay here and any pet parent will appreciate the love and care Jackie gives their pet for your peace of mind while you’re away.”
“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!!”
“Madison & Isiaih have done great boarding my dog. They send pictures and videos of my dog’s activities and that gives me peace of mind knowing that my Louie is in good hands .”
“We left our elderly, high anxiety (high needs) yorkie (Libby) with Scout. We were nervous how Libby would handle the situation but under the care of Scout she did wonderful and appeared to have a fabulous time! We will definitely use her again when the need arises!”
“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!”
“Leisha and Elijah have kept our two big boys twice for us now and do an amazing job! They’re great with communication, and their family gives the pups all the love they could ask for. I love knowing they’re in good hands when we have to leave them behind!”
“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”
“Dominique was a fabulous and very responsive host! We can definitely tell our baby enjoyed his time and was well cared for! We will definitely trust Dominique again when we’re in town!”
“Could not wish for a better sitter for my babies!!!! This is our second time with Hannah and I can’t say enough great things about the experiences. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own. She’s amazing to send pics and videos as well. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”
“As always our girls were given the best care by Amber and her son. We had to extend the stay by one night due to unforseen circumstances and Amber was so understanding and accommodating which in turn relieved so much stress as we were out of town. We cannot thank Amber enough ❤️”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“Joanne took wonderful care of my dog Minnie. She was very flexible and it was a huge help since I was in town visiting from Dallas. I will be rebooking for sure next time I visit central Arkansas!”
“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!”

“Taylor went above and beyond for our two cats and even kept food and water going for our strays in freezing temperatures. She accepted our request at the last minute when our other sitter fell through and was very professional and had a calm demeanor with our cats. We will definitely call her again next time!”
About: I grew up with cats. I rescued Hidey a few years ago, a grey kitten who was very shy but is now quite outgoing. I cat-sat through college and am hoping to get back into it. I've had experience with shy cats, lap cats, lazy cats, and cats that get the zoomies and bounce around the room. When I stop by I’ll make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and try to play with them or cuddle them if they’re interested. Would love to play or snuggle with your cat or check on your shy cat from afar.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving my fur kids with a stranger. I shouldn't have been though, because Miranda was fantastic! She spent extra time and attention on my shy kitties, and kept me updated with every visit. I will absolutely book with her again.”
“Kim did drop-in visits for our cats. She is a great communicator and very reliable. I received many pictures of her interactions with the kitties. They seemed to enjoy her visits, and we are grateful for her care of them while we were gone.”
“This was our 3rd time using Sara. My pups absolutely adore her, and Sara is amazing! Great communication, excellent pet care, and she is so kind and wonderful. Already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies! I know they are BIG babies and can definitely be a lot, so finding someone I trust with them means everything to me. You gave our family the chance to get away, enjoy some much-needed time together at the beach, and actually relax knowing they were safe, loved, and so well taken care of. Coming home to happy, healthy pups was the best feeling. We truly appreciate you and will absolutely be using you again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur babies, I highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“Great experience booking with Madi! Super communicative and sent tons of pictures/updates. Gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Would highly recommend.”
“Lexie was great with my kitty Charlie! She was responsive and not afraid to ask for clarification/questions. Charlie has a great time with her. We cannot recommend Lexie enough and will def rebook with her!”
“We had such a great experience with our pet sitter, Layn! He stayed at our house while we were out of town and took amazing care of Rue and Riot. He kept us updated with regular communication and sent us adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we got back, everything was in perfect order, and the girls were happy and well-loved. 🐾💛 Highly recommend Layn if you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to your babies!”

Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I will respect their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is well cared for in the comfort of their own home.
About: Welcome to my Rover! I’m 26 years old and a lifelong animal lover. Growing up, I had the most amazing boxer rescue named Duke, and through my teenage years and young adulthood another rescue Munson, who was a black lab/pit bull mix. Currently mom to two fur babies Dexter and Koda, a black cat and a tuxedo cat. Aside from my primary occupation, I’m a very active person and love being outside. I’m a lifelong animal shelter volunteer and have worked with animals from newborn to elderly, perfect health to less than, anxiety, etc. I understand the obligations of everyday pet parents and am more than happy to meet and provide top tier care and support for your fur babies! I am currently working out a full-time schedule as I work remotely and am offering short-term care for the time being. All drop-ins, walks, and sittings will be accepted case by case. Will update when I move to a more regular schedule! The trust required to invite a sitter into your home and around your fur babies is paramount, and as a professional, your home becomes my office and will be treated with the utmost respect. I tend to leave a home cleaner than I found it, and follow instructions to a T, so please do not hesitate to let me know how I can best care for your fur babies and your home while I'm in service!

About: I have a standard poodle who is about eight years old. He is my little ride or die and has made me realize that dogs are not just dogs. They’re like little miniature people with their own personalities. I am currently doing this full-time so I have a flexible schedule to be home with the dogs. I do have a son that I take to school. That is a teenager and he loves his animals too. I have full air ventilation system, where it absorbs any type of dandruff or debris. I also offer hardwood floors in case our pets have a mess and soft and cushy, blankets and cuddles.
“Madi did an excellent job providing care for Roxy. She gives alot updates and a lot of photos and I can tell that Roxy had a lot of fun with her and her family.”
“Amazing, amazing, amazing! Ivy was so well taken care of and loved. Angie was very attentive and loving with Ivy, and everyday I picked Ivy up from daycare, she was happy and worn out! Thank you so much, I hope to continue to use you!”
“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.”
“Stella has only had one visit, but she absolutely loved her day at Kristen’s house! This is the perfect daycare situation for us - newlywed couple with jobs and a puppa that doesn’t like to be crated all day. Stella was very happy and tired after her fun day out, and we will definitely be taking her back! Kristen is great about sending updates and pictures as well.”
“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: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!
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
“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.”
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 I’ve been caring for animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and just about everything in between. 🐶🐱 With 15+ years of experience and three friendly dogs of my own, I know how to make pets feel at home. Whether your furry friend needs walks, snuggles, or a safe place to stay, they’ll enjoy a big fenced yard, a comfy living space, and lots of attention. As a stay-at-home dad, I’ve got time and heart to give every pet the care they deserve. Message me for a custom rate. 💸 Im a full time stay at home dad so my days consist of taking care of my little one, loving on my 3 fur babies, and just enjoying every day the best I can. I have a fenced in back yard with a doggy door that leads into a room for my pups. My two German Shepard’s would love some friends to run around outside with.
“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!”
“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!)”
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: I have owned animals since I was a small child, now grown I have a house full of pets that I call my own. I often pet sit for friends and family. Animals need to feel safe and cared and I will strive to bring those to your home each visit.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule.

About: I am an animal lover through and through! As most, i’ve grown up caring for dogs and cats. I just can’t get enough animals in my life- I love all pets! From dogs and cats to reptiles and fish, I can care for any pet needed. I have experience with specialty pets such as rabbits, geckos, lizards, guinea pigs… if you own it i’ve probably cared for it! I have experience volunteering at the humane society, and my current volunteer efforts are at Arkansas Pet Rabbit Network.I truly love getting to know your furry (or scaly😉) friend of any kind. I have a love for older furry friends and experience caring for senior dogs and cats. I am a part time worker during the week, with much free time to dedicate to your babies! I can drop in during the week, or offer full time care fridays-mondays. I can do whatever you need for your pets in the home. When i’m with an animal, they’re my #1 priority! Even if your baby has oddly specific needs- send em my way!
About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for them. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need. I also have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and keep them happy, safe, and well-loved. I care for my own cat and dog daily, so pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I plan my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and training, which makes it easy for me to give other pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including training. My dog is leash-trained and knows multiple tricks, and my cat is trained as well, so I understand structure, patience, and consistency. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety at all times, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their home environment.
About: Having worked with animal shelters and owning three pets myself, I understand that every animal is unique. I am highly adaptable and ready to provide whatever specialized care your pet requires, from administering required medications to strictly following behavioral rules and safety precautions. My schedule is very flexible and open. I am free most of the week. Contact me to iron out details and we can figure something out. How i care for a pet varies on the home. Everyones home is different and everyones animal is too. So making sure im heeding all consideration is greatly important.
About: Hi! My name is Julian. While I'm new to professional pet care, I've always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust.

You'll receive regular photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I also update my availability every day to keep my schedule accurate and make booking easy. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

I understand that pets are family, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own.

My goal is to make your pet feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!
“Thomas does a great job caring for my pup. Lots of photos/videos to keep me updated. Always ensured there was food, water. My pup was always greeted with head taps and ear scratches keeping him happy. Thanks Thomas!”
About: ***I'm a dog trainer and will work with you on training and lessons if you are interested please let me know!*** I grew up with a family dog in my house and have been around them all of my life. I am a dog trainer with over five years training and owning dogs. I am a balanced trainer so I train based on what works for you and your dog! I worked as a kennel tech for a vet clinic in the past so I am experienced in proper leash walking dogs of many sizes, administering medications, bathing and other healthcare. I have also trained many anxious and reactive dogs so I know how to safely handle any pets with behavioral issues and make them feel as comfortable as possible (and potentially even work on those issues)! I also volunteered at Kitty Kat Haven regularly and own several cats. I own extra kennels, beds, bowls, leashes, and toys. I do own a litter box and my dog is very cat friendly and is trained to ignore a cat or dog if I tell her but will play with any dogs that want to! My cats are used to many different dogs and have even made friends with most dogs I have boarded in the past. I am starting a dog training business in Little Rock. That means my life revolves around working with and caring for dogs. I am out of my home to run errands and meet my clients for lessons and other appointments, usually no more than a couple hours and I often adjust my schedule to customize for need of the pups. I am able to take puppies that are still potty training and keep them on track as well as keep a high energy dog exercised. My environment is built for proper care for dogs and cats. Being a dog training, my home is safety conscious first and fun a close second. My goals is to make sure your pets needs are met. I want to make sure we meet exercise and enrichment requirements so your pet is happy and healthy!
About: Furry friends are the best friends; I cant wait to meet your pup and get to know their personality! Lots of pets and treats, with permission, of course! I’m a junior high teacher, so I am available after 3:30 everyday and all day on the weekends! Let’s get that pup a walking routine! I have a fenced yard and my own pup who loves to love! She is ignored by our two cats, so she would love to have some company!
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. My first baby was Kramer (cockapoo) and now I have a big boy named Koda (Golden Retriever). I love all pets, but specifically dogs. They are so loving, loyal, and kind, and I love to give that to them in return. I work as a professor at an university and usually done around 1pm each day, so I can let the babies out for their afternoon/evening potty breaks. I am also free for the summer due to school letting out, so I will have way more free time from May until the middle of August to give your baby attention any time of day. I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever for your baby to play with. Sometimes, I have my sister's dog to babysit so there will be another friend.
About: I have been pet sitting for animals of all types from dogs and cats to reptiles and hamsters since I was twelve and have enjoyed every minute of it. I worked in the veterinary field for three years and am pursing a certification as a canine trainer. I volunteered at the Tulsa Zoo as a member of their Zoo Teen program so I even have some experience with exotic animals! I am willing to help train your animals and help with any daily medical care they may need. I love animals of all species, ages, sizes, and breeds, and temperaments. Just reach out to me! Generally I am able to stay with your pets all day, we can go on walks, play, give enrichment, and have a lazy day at home for those who enjoy it. If your dog loves the park just let me know and we can take a trip! Save for my own appointments and meetings I can stay with your pet and keep them entertained and keep company! I request that you give me a routine of your pet's daily life and I follow that plan as you have it laid out! I take all safety precautions necessary to be able to keep your pets and myself safe. I gather your contact information, emergency contact information, any dietary restrictions for the pet, daily routine, any medical needs, and veterinary office information in case of emergencies.
About: I feel a strong connection to animals. & really enjoy spending time with them & caring for them. Seeing a pet happy, makes me happy also. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule & would like the opportunity to help some clients on a regular basis if they have the need for a routine. I do believe in keeping pets safe. I don’t allow any pet I am caring for to walk off leash, unless we are in a safe fenced area.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life because my family has always owned dogs since I was a kid. A lot of the dogs that go missing in my neighborhood always end up at my house for some reason, and I’ve had a lot of times where I’ve had to take care of them and return them to their owners. So I have experience with not only my dogs, but a lot of my neighbors’ dogs as well. My job currently requires me to wake up really early in the morning to clock in, but I’m always done by 8:30-9AM, so I basically have the whole day available after that. I am really good at understanding dog’s needs and can play with the hyper and energetic ones all day! I love puppies especially, and can tolerate all their craziness. (A lot of my neighbors’ dogs I had to take in were puppies that ran away from home.)
About: I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends and friends-of-friends around the area, with most of my clients finding me through word of mouth. Apparently, the dogs have been giving me five stars, so I figured it was time to officially join Rover! 🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically start work around 9–10 AM and have the ability to work remotely for a couple of hours during the day, but I do need to be physically at work from 3–7 PM. This gives me flexibility for morning and midday walks, drop-ins, and plenty of time for pet care outside of those hours. I’m happy to care for pets wherever they’re most comfortable! Whether that’s walks and adventures outside, playtime at home, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

We are very appreciative to Bonnie for how she cares for our dog and we will definitely request her for boarding or daycare services again!”
“Marci was a great sitter for my dog Hank! I could tell from get-go that she’s experienced with taking care of pups and that she treats her pup Sadie amazingly too. She was a great communicator with fast responses, and answered all my questions to make me feel confident about having her watch Hank. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!”
“Once again, Pepper had a great time at Jackie’s house. She always looks healthy and well taken care of when I pick her up. She sees Jackie’s house as a second home and hides when I come to get her because she doesn’t want to leave. I truly believe any pet is lucky to stay here and any pet parent will appreciate the love and care Jackie gives their pet for your peace of mind while you’re away.”
“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!!”
“We left our elderly, high anxiety (high needs) yorkie (Libby) with Scout. We were nervous how Libby would handle the situation but under the care of Scout she did wonderful and appeared to have a fabulous time! We will definitely use her again when the need arises!”
“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!”
“Leisha and Elijah have kept our two big boys twice for us now and do an amazing job! They’re great with communication, and their family gives the pups all the love they could ask for. I love knowing they’re in good hands when we have to leave them behind!”
“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”
“Dominique was a fabulous and very responsive host! We can definitely tell our baby enjoyed his time and was well cared for! We will definitely trust Dominique again when we’re in town!”
“Could not wish for a better sitter for my babies!!!! This is our second time with Hannah and I can’t say enough great things about the experiences. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own. She’s amazing to send pics and videos as well. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”
“As always our girls were given the best care by Amber and her son. We had to extend the stay by one night due to unforseen circumstances and Amber was so understanding and accommodating which in turn relieved so much stress as we were out of town. We cannot thank Amber enough ❤️”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“Joanne took wonderful care of my dog Minnie. She was very flexible and it was a huge help since I was in town visiting from Dallas. I will be rebooking for sure next time I visit central Arkansas!”
“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!”
“Maru was absolutely amazing! We didn't worry for one second and Bella was so spoiled and loved during her whole stay! She learned how to use a doggy door, went on hikes, and made lots of new friends both human and four legged ones. We will definitely keep rebooting with Maru - her, her mom, her dogs, her kids - they were all the best and sweetest! Maru, we honestly cannot thank you enough!!”
“Julissa is a wonderful dog sitter. She thoroughly read Danti’s feeding instructions and play time notes and double-checked with us before leaving him. She ensured we felt comfortable with her home and set up. Her home is wonderfully set up to care for dogs/animals, you can tell this is not her first rodeo. While away, she kept us informed daily of happenings and handled anything that came up with our pup—and our dog is no perfect angel but she handled every curve ball he threw. Julissa was also very flexible with us regarding pick-up times and understanding of our personal situations for which I am grateful. Once we picked up our dog, he seemed happy and energized and I could tell he enjoyed his stay as well. I would definitely recommend Julissa to anyone for future dog sitting. I hope to be able to rebook her myself.”
“We are very pleased with Madi's care of our senior dog, Theo. She didn't mind giving him meds and eye drops daily. She sent us updates and pictures. We felt that Theo was happy and well taken care of. Theo did not seem to have any separation anxiety issues and played well with the other dogs. 100%”
“I think King may have enjoyed his stay, I am unable to tell otherwise lol. Thank you all for taking on such a tall task, I couldn’t have done it without you guys! King would love to play with Lance again!”
