“Our dog had a wonderful time. She sent us photos every day and let us know how our dog was doing. She even gave him a bath. Prior to picking him up. Christina was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely use her again”
“She did an amazing job watching my cat for the week. She was very kind, reliable, and clearly cared a lot. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my cat was well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”
“First time using the app and really nervous about leaving my two dogs. After meeting Amber I had no concerns at all and knew she’d take care of them! She made my trip out of the country possible and sent pics and treated them so well they weren’t sure if they wanted to leave. I’d recommend Amber to my own family and friends and 100% feel like I can leave town and be positive they are loving life! Thanks Amber, you’re a superstar!!”
“Monna is The Best! She took such good care of our little shih tzu —walking her, feeding her and most of all loving her.! Our doggie was missing Monna when we brought her home!!”
“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Kevin was great with Arjie! I dropped him off in an emergency over the weekend, and I was glad to have picked him! He gave frequent updates, sent photos, and I could tell that Arjie had a great time. I could also tell that Kevin really loves dogs, as Arjie is very hyperactive, and Kevin seemed to enjoy working with him and gave Arjie a warm, comfortable environment for the weekend. Really impressed and will definitely book him again!!”
“Here’s a polished review for Kelly: Kelly was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, kept me updated throughout the day, and showed so much kindness and playfulness with my puppy, Reign. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure Reign was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Jaggy had a great time this past few days sent plenty of pictures to keep me up-to-date. What was going on playing with all the kids hanging out with the other dogs he was having a good time or is so wiped out sound asleep Highly recommend these two will definitely have Jaggy stay with them again. 10 out of 10”
“Repeat customer here. I get frequent updates and the "girls" seem to be well behaved and get along fine at their house. They get lots of pets from the two daughters and enjoy it, I'm sure. Will use them again in the future.”
“Julie was fantastic with Moose! (The dog… not the giant antlered woodland mammal. Although if she can handle Moose, I have a feeling she’d figure that one out too.) From the minute I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She asked thoughtful questions about his routine, personality, and care, which told me right away she wasn’t just checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to know him. Since Moose occasionally communicates through interpretive dance and questionable life choices, I relayed the detailed care instructions. Julie took it all in stride. Every day she sent adorable pictures along with a little update about what Moose had been up to. It was such a comfort knowing he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being cared for and enjoying himself. Those daily updates made being away so much easier. When we picked him up, he was happy, confident, and his delightfully goofy self. He looked like he’d had his own little vacation. That’s exactly what every dog owner hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Julie again. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your favorite four-legged family member, but Julie made that part easy. Moose gives her two paws up… and I’d give more if he had them.”
“Celeste did a great job taking care of Princess Princess and making her feel comfortable and cared for in her home. Our kitty was able to interact with her kitties and family to have a great stay, thanks a bunch Celeste. We definitely would have no issues to book again.”
“Laurie was just wonderful with our dog Whiskey. Her house is spotless, there’s a great back yard for dogs to play in, and her two doodles are adorable. Great communication, and she made sure Whiskey was happy and comfortable at all times. He had a blast and was tired but happy when I picked him up. I would board him here again without hesitation:)”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Adriana! She is so caring and gentle with our sweet Coco. She sent pictures and videos a couple time a day. We could see how well Coco had settled in. She has a beautiful backyard. Her house is immaculate and beautiful! She waited until the sun had gone down and it was cooler to take Coco for a walk so he could get out and get some exercise with her sweet little dog Kayla. Coco was so at home with her. There was not a bunch of other dogs running around. It was not noisy. It was calm and peaceful. he is an elderly dog so he took naps and explored her backyard. He did everything that you would want your dog to do while you are away. He too, had a real vacation! We will definitely be using Adriana in the future for all of our Coco care needs. She is absolutely wonderful. I highly highly recommend Adriana!”
“Briana and Brandon are the best! This was my our first time using Rover and they treated our dogs amazing. I got super cute pics of the pups and she kept us informed everyday letting us know how the pups were doing. Highly recommended these guys. Thanks again”
“Melissa was so very kind to fit me in last minute! She was professional and was prompt in all communication. She was a sweetheart and my dog adored her. Her home and yard are immaculate and very safe. I highly recommend using her for your dog boarding needs. I will definitely use her again when down in the area.”
“I booked Rich for the first time on short notice for 5 nights. He provides a safe clean space with a yard and other nice dogs for yours to play with. Expect a daily update and picture of your dog smiling. I would use Rich again and recommend him to a friend.”
“Heidi was great. We trust her fully with our dogs. She happily welcomed them into her home, sent lots of pictures and updates and even made them homemade dog treats. Thank you!”
“Krysten was wonderful with Roscoe over the week of Christmas. He got along great with the other dogs she watches. She made sure to send us several updates and photos while he was with her to show how well he was doing. She even made a Christmas stocking for him with toys in it! Extra special touches made it that much more enjoyable for him!”

“Tracy and our cat Fips are a perfect match. They get along very well, and Tracy took care of Fips very thoroughly including his special needs (medications). I would not hesitate and book her again when needed.”
“The absolute best caregiver that my cats have ever had. Sibel took care of my 3 cats, Stripey, Buddy and Tiny Peanut. She would come in and greet them all each visit. She would talk to them and play with them each visit. They took to her right away. Even the two that tend to be slow to warm up to people. She is such a warm and loving person. I had complete peace while I was away. She gave my cats treats, petted them, played with them, talked to them and brushed them. This is the best care they have ever received. I plan to use Sibel for all my cat care going forward if she has availability. They absolutely love her. Sibel is completely trustworthy and followed all of my instructions for my cats. I’m grateful for her great care.”
About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
About: I have had my own cat since I was four and was responsible for cleaning her litter, grooming her, feeding her, taking her to doctors appointments. At this point in her life she is now considered a senior cat and I have experience taking care of her now as well. I understand how to comfort and love a cat; as well as recognize the clues to when their unhappy or upset
About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats, from playful kittens to older cats needing extra attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, administering simple medications, and of course providing plenty of playtime and affection.
“Maria is the best! We’ve used her several times for drop-in visits to care for our cat Oliver. She’s very responsible, responsive, sends lots of photos and always takes the time to play will Oliver to make sure he’s having fun while we are away. We can tell from her updates that Oliver really loves Maria! We highly recommend her!”
“Erika is the sweetest! She had the best communication and gave me lots of updates :) My pup is a usually a bit timid around new people but loved Erika right away, so I had absolutely zero worries!”

I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be to hire someone to watch after your animals and property. I am incredible responsible, diligent, and detail oriented when it comes to caring for others (people and animals alike- it comes with both jobs!) I have extensive experience with animals from the time I was a child all the way until present day. As a child I attended all sorts of animal camps during school breaks, in high school I volunteered at the local animal shelter where I adopted both my dogs from, and have spent countless hours working with trainers to train my dogs. Both of my dogs have completed beginner & intermediate obedience, as well as completing the AKC canine good citizen class. All of this to say- I have worked with my own dogs, as well as many other dogs and have extensive experience with animal behavior and all types of breeds. I understand some dogs need a little extra time to warm up and that is 100% okay, please just be upfront about your pets needs so I can best care for them! Aside from my canine friends, I also have a cat and I am happy to care for feline friends as well! I am a nurse so my schedule fluctuates often!

Pets do best when routine is kept as close to possible as when you are present so I will look after them how you see fit!
About: I have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember, I take care of them like they’re my own. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have dog sat all over the country. I will watch whatever animal you have, snakes, turtles, etc. I work from home so if your dog doesn’t like people leaving then that won’t be a problem. I’ve taken care of dogs that need medication (oral/injection). Does your dog like walks? If so, I’m willing to use my own vehicle to take them to a park or walk them around the block! I don’t leave the house that much but when I do the dog is always willing to go with me if the owners allow it. I live in an apartment, I have a family pug that I walk, when he’s at the apartment, as much as he can handle with his diabetes and partial blindness.
About: Growing up I have always had cats and dogs and can’t imagine my life without a pet!! In college, I volunteer at the humane society to help out with animals and play with them and love it!! I am currently a college student who would love to help over the summer! I’m free almost every day, and can tend to your pets whenever is necessary!! I love making my pets feel comfortable and loved, whether that involves playing, walking, feeding, or snuggling!! I respect your space and will make sure I am respecting your pets space as well based on behavior and body language. I am flexible with care and am more than happy to do whatever you or your pet needs!
“What an amazing experience. She was punctual. Instantly bonded with Archie. Was super attentive to his needs and made sure he had tons of time outside. I’d recommend 10/10.”
About: My fiancé and I absolutely love animals and will do anything to make sure they live a happy life. We are young and playful just like they are! They deserve a fun life just like us humans. Dogs are a mans best friend and we truly believe that. There is nothing better than coming home to your pet and cuddling with them. We will make sure any pet feels super loved and gets lots of pets, cuddles, and play time. They won’t even notice their owner is gone because they will feel just as loved by me as they would by you. We will make sure nothing happens to them either because we are very protective of animals and do not want anything bad to happen. We would absolutely love to give your pet lots of love. I currently work from home and can bring my computer anywhere to work, so I can give pets as much time and care as they need. We give constant cuddles to any pets we watch and love to play fetch with them. Treats are always given as well when they do something good.
“Donna’s affinity for animals was apparent the moment she came to meet my pets. My 3 dogs fell in love with her and even my 3 cats all cane out to greet her. She took exceptional care of them. She updated me daily Via texts. You can’t go wrong asking Donna to take care of your pets. She will do an exceptional job!”

“Highly recommend! It was Ellie’s first time away from home. Kelly made her comfortable right away which made my husband and I feel that she was in good hands. Kelly sent photo updates of Ellie playing with her new friends. She was so tired when she got home; went straight to bed!!”
“Great dog sitter. Laurie has two beautiful doodles . You can tell she loves dogs. Your dog will be safe in their fenced yard and really happy if he plays well with other dogs. I would recommend Laurie to anyone and will use her services again when we are through the area.”

About: Hi there! I'm Maria. I’ve loved and taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, and everything in between. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I live with my boyfriend Steven off a quiet dirt road in the Rio Verde foothills, with a fenced-in yard. Steven is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do We're active people and love going on long walks and exploring. If your dog is active and loves to run, explore the trails, or play an endless game of fetch, then we'll be sure to have lots of fun! Or, if you've got a senior or couch potato who wants only to venture outdoors for the necessities, you can still entrust us to brighten their day with plenty of cuddles and love as if they were our own dog. A trusted pet-sitter since the age of 10, I have experience with animals of all kinds. In addition to suburban pet-sitting, I have also farm-sat and cared for horses, chickens, barn cats and farm dogs. I have volunteered at several vet clinics, and I have also worked with goats, sheep, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I’m a life long equestrian with extensive horse experience, so if you need a horse sitter I am qualified for that job as well. We have 2 cats - Glitch and Desmond, who are comfortable around dogs. We also have a dog of our own - an Australian Cattle Dog named Lana who is used to being around other dogs. Animals are my life, and I cannot wait to meet your best friend! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My boyfriend Steven, who also works from home, is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do. For drop-ins: Along with providing walks, food, fresh water, and anything else you may need for me to do, I also include plenty of love and cuddles if that’s what your pet enjoys! When your pet stays with us, it will be a home away from home. We have a fenced in yard where they will be supervised at all times. Our cattle dog Lana is used to sharing her home with other dogs.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and I have a lot of love to give! I believe I’m very intuitive when it comes to animals needs, even if they have certain sensitivities or issues. We work from home so we're always here for your pets needs. If your dog needs walks or even runs I'm open to whatever their needs are. If they are less social I’m comfortable keeping them away from other dogs or people or vice versa. I will treat your dog like my own. My neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk dogs. And on lazy days we are great at snuggling. Whatever their needs! My boyfriend and I both work from home. We are always here. So what ever your schedule is, we can recreate for your pet for an easy transition. I have a fully fenced yard. I like to take a walk an least once a day depending on the weather/heat. If your dog is crated I can accommodate as well.

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs!

As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!
“Su sent lots of pictures of our pup settling in! They had so much fun and our pup was well taken care of, I don’t think he was eager to leave during pickup. He felt so welcomed, calm when we picked him up, and made a friend.”
“This was my first time using Rover. The process was very easy. It was also the first time leaving my anxious dog with strangers. Rossana was wonderful - she was confident, calm and reassuring.. She and Kurt are obviously dog lovers and experienced pet sitters. They kept me informed during the day and sent two photos which put me at ease. Great.experience!”

The house is also pretty big for roaming. My children are here half time and love animals.

Camille was flexible with times and sent many pics throughout the day. Will definitely take Roxy back if we visit the area again.”
“Rosie loves days that she gets to go to Jessica’s! She always has a great time and leaves tired. And Jessica is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Would recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for my whole life and i’ve been walking and feeding them ever since I was 13.

I have a big dog of my own, so i’m very comfortable handling larger breeds. When I’m doing drop-in visits in a clients home, I make sure to follow any specific care instructions closely.
About: I have had a dog and a cat since I was four and understand the responsibilities of feeding, grooming, playing with them. I know how to navigate their doctor appointments and how to manage a problem with a pet. I don’t just believe pets should just be fed, walked, let out to use the bathroom, I believe they should also get love and comfort when their guardians are away I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time. I love walking my own dog and taking care of my pets when I am home. I walk my dog twice a day, feed both her and my cat in the mornings and afternoons. I make sure their water is full, that their beds are where they’re supposed to be, and that they are comfortable. I always greet them when I come home, or say goodbye to them when i leave
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience for all kinds of animals. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs.

I also have experience following specific routines, giving extra care to senior pets, and keeping things clean and organized. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease. I’m currently not working, so my mornings and afternoons are free. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on caring for pets. I’m also available for nights and over night stays at well. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow your routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and give each pet lots of love and attention. Safety is my priority, so you can trust that your dog will be well looked after while you’re away!

“Maria took wonderful care of our dogs when we were out of town. She took them on long walks and gave us updates as well as pictures. Super happy with her service and would definitely use her again. Thank you, Maria!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit their dogs, and I truly love doing it! I’m a big animal lover and I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I work part time so my days are usually pretty open. Currently I am available every afternoon- evening and some mornings. My schedule is super flexible so I am open to anything! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and household rules. I always keep the home clean and respectful, make sure doors and gates are secure, and ensure pets are safe at all times. I prioritize trust, communication, and reliability, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My goal is to make sure pets feel relaxed and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of my family dog for 9 years and have been looking for a way to continue having a furry friend while away at college. I currently work part time and go to school but I have availability other days where I don’t have either of those obligations and can watch over dogs. I have enough space for a dog to be comfortable and able to fit a crate here. There are trails and areas around the apartment where the dog can play and walk outside.
About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was born. My father loves cats so we have had them all my life. I also raised small animals of all kinds and have owned a couple of small dogs. I currently have a flock of chickens, 2 Maine Coon mixes and a box turtle. I am a gardener who loves nature. I’m a divemaster who loves fish. I have a pond with some fish and water plants in my yard. I would like to eventually get into homesteading and starting a ranch My schedule is wide open. I am available to care for pets, plants and homes for long periods of time. I am available 24/7/365 weekends and holidays I will follow reasonable instructions left for me to care for whatever type of pet you have. Feeding them meals, cleaning up after them, bathing if necessary, spending quality time with them and give them attention. If they are used to sleeping with their owner I can do so with reason. I have experience with reptiles and birds also.
About: I’ve never not had animals around me and I love it that way! I have brief experience with fostering puppies as well as taking care of newborn kittens. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona, but over the summer I have full-time availability to pet sit. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I’m super active myself so it’s no problem doing physical activities with your pets or just letting them chill, whatever they love best! I’m willing to spend as much time as needed with them :) I have a fenced backyard, as well as two small dogs and a cat who are all friendly.
About: Certified vet tech for 7 years! I’ve always pet sat for clients, friends, and family on the side! My biggest help is word of mouth. I have plenty of references I can send! I love bonding with your pet and making them feel safe as well as allowing you to be less stressed during your time away from them! I currently am full time employed at an animal hospital. My favorite thing to do is keep you updated with pictures each day of your cutie or cuties! I currently work full time in Fountain Hills! I’m off one full day during the week and off Sundays as well and most Saturdays. I occasionally work Saturdays but only until noon! For now I would have to stop by morning and night (lunchtime on my off days or if your house is near my work) and after work!

“Our dog had a wonderful time. She sent us photos every day and let us know how our dog was doing. She even gave him a bath. Prior to picking him up. Christina was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely use her again”
“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Kevin was great with Arjie! I dropped him off in an emergency over the weekend, and I was glad to have picked him! He gave frequent updates, sent photos, and I could tell that Arjie had a great time. I could also tell that Kevin really loves dogs, as Arjie is very hyperactive, and Kevin seemed to enjoy working with him and gave Arjie a warm, comfortable environment for the weekend. Really impressed and will definitely book him again!!”
“Jaggy had a great time this past few days sent plenty of pictures to keep me up-to-date. What was going on playing with all the kids hanging out with the other dogs he was having a good time or is so wiped out sound asleep Highly recommend these two will definitely have Jaggy stay with them again. 10 out of 10”
“Repeat customer here. I get frequent updates and the "girls" seem to be well behaved and get along fine at their house. They get lots of pets from the two daughters and enjoy it, I'm sure. Will use them again in the future.”
“Julie was fantastic with Moose! (The dog… not the giant antlered woodland mammal. Although if she can handle Moose, I have a feeling she’d figure that one out too.) From the minute I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She asked thoughtful questions about his routine, personality, and care, which told me right away she wasn’t just checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to know him. Since Moose occasionally communicates through interpretive dance and questionable life choices, I relayed the detailed care instructions. Julie took it all in stride. Every day she sent adorable pictures along with a little update about what Moose had been up to. It was such a comfort knowing he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being cared for and enjoying himself. Those daily updates made being away so much easier. When we picked him up, he was happy, confident, and his delightfully goofy self. He looked like he’d had his own little vacation. That’s exactly what every dog owner hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Julie again. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your favorite four-legged family member, but Julie made that part easy. Moose gives her two paws up… and I’d give more if he had them.”
“Celeste did a great job taking care of Princess Princess and making her feel comfortable and cared for in her home. Our kitty was able to interact with her kitties and family to have a great stay, thanks a bunch Celeste. We definitely would have no issues to book again.”
“Laurie was just wonderful with our dog Whiskey. Her house is spotless, there’s a great back yard for dogs to play in, and her two doodles are adorable. Great communication, and she made sure Whiskey was happy and comfortable at all times. He had a blast and was tired but happy when I picked him up. I would board him here again without hesitation:)”
“Briana and Brandon are the best! This was my our first time using Rover and they treated our dogs amazing. I got super cute pics of the pups and she kept us informed everyday letting us know how the pups were doing. Highly recommended these guys. Thanks again”
“Heidi was great. We trust her fully with our dogs. She happily welcomed them into her home, sent lots of pictures and updates and even made them homemade dog treats. Thank you!”
“Krysten was wonderful with Roscoe over the week of Christmas. He got along great with the other dogs she watches. She made sure to send us several updates and photos while he was with her to show how well he was doing. She even made a Christmas stocking for him with toys in it! Extra special touches made it that much more enjoyable for him!”
“Katherine and Tanner took great care of Dakota during her stay. Communication was easy and consistent, and they clearly made an effort to keep her comfortable and cared for. Dakota came home happy and relaxed — always a good sign! Would definitely trust them again.”
“Went above and beyond to make sure Katie and KC were well taken care of. KC WASN’T EATING HIS REGULAR FOOD. SHE OFFERED DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND FOUND WHAT HE WOULD EAT. IT BROUGHT ME COMFORT KNOWING THAT SHE WASN’T GOING TO LET HIM GO WITHOUT EATING. I FEEL VERY RELAXED WHEN I HAVE CAROLYN CARE FOR MY GERIATRIC SWEET DOGS.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kaitlin. She watched our 150 lb cane corso Bruce and cared for him like he was family. Bruce fell in love with her and Koko from the start and it made my heart happy that he was in a warm and loving home while we were away. Kaitlin’s communication was excellent and I loved all the daily updates and photos I received from her! Even when my large dog took over her bed for naps 😂 Kaitlin is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior and even did some training with our big guy during his stay. I whole heartedly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is truly the best!”
“Taking my dogs Penny and Nutmeg to Katie's is like leaving them with family. They enjoy her catering to their activity needs. I appreciate her flexibility as traveling by car can be a little uncertain. We look forward to our next outing.”
“They were so great! Their whole family was so excited to watch my dog and it was great knowing they had young kids to play with Izzy. I’ve already booked them again and will continue to do so!!”
“James & Erin were absolutely wonderful with Bentley!! We had to change the dates/times on them a few times due the LA fires and they were so incredibly understanding, kind and flexible. We received updates & photos of B and looks like the dogs he got to play with were all so happy!! We’d absolutely book them again. Thank you so much!”
