“Darbi and Nate were great! We had a few schedule changes post-booking and they were so flexible and accommodating. They took Finny in and just loved on him so much! Sent updates and pictures which was great! In fact…we’re convinced that the poor dog is mad we brought him home 😂 Highly recommend!!”
“Our two dogs had a great stay with Eric. He watched our 2 dogs for 15 days and I think they might have been reluctant to come home! He gave them all the care and attention they would have gotten at home and communicated with us through photos and updates while we were gone. He even took professional-like photos of them and sent those to us while we were gone. It was so unexpected and appreciated! We can't say enough good things about Eric!”
“Adriana is the best! This was my second time hiring her. She provides loving care and clearly, my dog loves her! I know North will be in a fun, loving environment when she stays with Adriana and her dog, Kayla ❤️❤️”
“My pups love staying with Thida and her sweet family ☺️ they gave them meds when it seemed like they weren’t feeling their best and kept them warm and cozy with sweaters during their daily walks. Thanks so much Thida!!”
“Paola is amazing! I have an anxious dog and a senior dog and Paola was great with them by providing them lots of love and affection. I’ll be bringing my dogs back to Paola next week for a longer stay. It’s so comforting to know your pups are being taken care so well! Her communication was awesome too! I’m so glad I found her!”
“Kristi was wonderful with our Sam!! I thought my sister and I were crazy smitten with our dogs, but after watching Kristi with Sam, I realize we pet people are just good people. 😊 She was sweet, kind and provided a wonderful place in which I felt totally comfortable leaving my fur baby. Already spoke with her about future stays! Highly recommend Kristi!”
“Jessie had such a wonderful time here. They were so kind and thoughtful with her. She provided lovely updates which made us feel happy that Jessie was safe with them.”
“Harry , our 8 year old Havanese had a good time staying with Danielle and we were really happy with her care and the ongoing pictures and updates she sent. We’re glad to recommend when you need someone to car for your dog in their home! Thanks Danielle!”
“Our dog was well cared for by Steven’s whole family! We received pics daily of Cedar daily and honestly weren’t sure he’d want to come home! 😆 Don’t send your dog to day care or boarding, send them with Steven and his family on vacation!”
“Teresa is so amazing! She’s sat my dog many times now and each experience has been perfect. She really treats my dog like her own and makes her feel so comfortable when i’m gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Lorinda was great! She sent me lots of updates and pictures of how my dog was doing and I could tell she had a lot of fun. Would definitely use Lorinda again :)”
“Kyleigh was the best for my dog Izzy. She was so flexible for the meet and greet and made it so easy. I was nervous about leaving Izzy, especially being hours away, but Kyleigh kept me updated with pictures and updates that made me feel so much better. I will definitely be booking with her again soon!”
“Brandon was incredibly accommodating when I had a least minute scheudle change and needed to find a dog sitter. Him and his family took excellent care of my pup, and I was very appreciative of the nightly photo updates. I will absolutely reach back out to Brandon when we need a sitter again!”
“Veronica and family were amazing with our Deja! Multiple updates and pictures everyday. It was very apparent right from the start that they would take extra care of Deja. They worked with Deja on using the doggy door for the first time and loved her little quirks. I would 100% bring Deja back for sitting.”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“We love having Rachel take care of our dog when we travel. We are at complete peace knowing he is best care. The photo updates make even better to see how much he is enjoying his stay. She even makes sure he took his medicine and takes him on walks! Can’t ask for anything more!”
“Like always Alex did a great job taking care of my do while I was on vacation. My dog has a lot of anxiety while I away, and Alex did a great job making my dog feel relaxed and taking care of her. She kept me updated daily on my dog and sending me pictures to ensure that she was ok. I will continue to have Alex watch my dog, and I would recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking to have Alex watch their dog. Thank Again Alex for the great service. :)”
About: Hi! Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started caring for animals at a young age, was involved in FFA, and later worked for a veterinarian, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs and situations. I also foster for a Labrador Retriever rescue, which has given me experience with dogs of all personalities — from confident and playful to shy and unsure. I have two dogs of my own: Griffin, my 14-year-old Lab who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and Mia, my Golden Retriever who joined our family three years ago. Having a senior dog has taught me how important patience, routine, and gentle care are. Your dog will be treated like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and care. I work a full time job just five minutes from home. My dog comes to work with me and yours can too. I am only available for pet care in my home. Your dog’s safety is very important to me. I have a secure, fenced yard and a doggie door so they can move comfortably between indoors and outdoors. There is also a swimming pool for dogs who love the water, and I always supervise closely anytime dogs are near the pool.

“Kelsei is THE BEST! I love reading the report cards from her visits - the writing summary and photos she send are so cute. We come from our travels to a very happy cat.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of pet care experience — and a friendly Golden Retriever sidekick who loves making new doggy friends! I work from home 2 days a week, which means extra time for cuddles, playtime, and walks. I’m experienced with pups who need a little extra care, including those with medical needs like diabetes. Whether your dog needs a walking buddy or a cozy place to stay, I’ve got the love, time, and treats to make their tail wag! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work from home two days a week, which gives me plenty of time for walks, play breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. On other days, I plan my schedule to ensure your pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I make sure every pup feels loved and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, pups enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of supervised time both inside and out. I can easily crate if needed and always follow your pet’s specific routines and preferences. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages and stages — from curious puppies to wise seniors — and I make sure each one feels secure, loved, and right at home in a calm, structured environment.
“Madison is absolutely fantastic! I go on multiple trips a year and trying to figure out what to do with the cats is always a huge worry, but I decided to give rover a try and Madison was who I went with. Best decision I’ve ever made, 2 check ins a day, she fed them, made sure they had water, played with them, made sure their litter was clean, and even gave them some treats! After every visit she sends multiple pictures, and leaves a detailed note of what she did that day with them and anything to know. After the visit we got a hand written note thanking us for trusting her with the boys and how much she loved them! I will not even hesitate next time I go on a trip, that’s how professional and loving she was to our animals and communication.”
“I reached out to Jennifer as a last minute booking forbmy cmvacation when my regular pet sitter had an emergency and couldnt watch my place. She was quick to respond and set up a meeting right away. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my cat. I appreciated the updates and photos.”
About: I have a cat of my own that’s almost 10 years old and I’ve had her since she was about 6 months old. I’ve taken care of multiple cats and watched over them. From the crazy wild 15 pound cats to tiny baby kittens needing bottle fed formula
“Kylel did a great job with my kitties again! He took good care of them while I was out of town. I received lots of photos each day. I'm a repeat client and will book again. I highly recommend Kylel.”
“Ariel was so good with my kitten, Stormy! We just got her two weeks ago and unfortunately had to leave her for a vacation so I was a little nervous about what kind of care she would get while we were gone but Ariel made sure she was take care of and loved. We received the cutest updates for every drop-in with 8+ photos of Stormy and I couldn’t be more grateful!! My husband and I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Sydney was great at taking care of my bunnies and keeping me updated on their pet care routine daily. I appreciate her thoroughness and she kept attention to details I mentioned about their physiology and behavior”
“So many great things to say about Vicki! My kitties felt very comfortable with her, and she took excellent care of them. She followed all of my instructions and did an amazing job overall. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book Vicki again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Allie was fantastic with our cats! We had a snafu right before the booking, and she was so accommodating and helpful. She made sure to spend one on one time with both girls, and she gave us timely updates and the cutest pictures. She even administer eyedrops to our skittish girl. It was our first time leaving them, and her care and attention helped ease our worry so much!”
“Shereese was absolutely lovely. She was patient with my baby and sent me photos. She definitely went above and beyond. I appreciate her so much and I'm happy she took care of my little guy.”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who would love to look after your furry family members while you're away. I know firsthand how special that bond is—back in college, my own sweet cat used to wake me up every single morning by curling up and purring right on my chest. Whether I'm stepping in to pet-sit for family members when they travel or hanging out with a new feline friend, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and easygoing. I’m also pretty resourceful and have a huge heart for animals; I once even rescued a poor kitten who’d been stuck in a drain for days and helped find him a wonderful home. Whether your cat is a total social butterfly who loves affection or a quiet kitty who just wants their routine and boundaries respected, I’m here to make sure they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved until you get back!
“Markie took great care of my cats while I was away & provided regular updates & pictures. My cats are typically shy around new people but they liked her right away! She was also kind enough to bring a package inside while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for taking car of my boys. They were happy to us when we got home, which normally we get the cold shoulder for at least a day. With them being happy, I know they were well taken care of.”

“Nicole and Rose did a great job caring for Keeko! They took such good care of him and he was so happy hanging out with them. Would definitely recommend them to care for your pups!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From snow days and trampoline adventures with my dog Bear to life with my two loyal Rhodesian Ridgebacks, animals have always been my happy place. These days, our sweet rescue Stella keeps life calm and cozy, and I still find that animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I’ve even taken obedience training classes because I genuinely love learning more about dog behavior and communication. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, gentle seniors, big dogs, little dogs, and yes — cats too (even if we can’t have them at home because of allergies). My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m home during summers and school breaks, including two weeks each in fall, winter, and spring. My work schedule when teaching allows me to stop by home during lunch to check in on pets and I’m home by 3:30 PM leaving the evening open for playtime and companionship. Our two boys (13 and 15) also love animals and are learning responsibility by helping care for pets alongside me — giving extra love, playtime, walks, and attention. As a family, we’re able to comfortably provide care in our home or stop by for feedings, walks, check-ins, and play visits throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 3:30 PM. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! I love greeting them with excitement, giving them attention, playtime, cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or runs, playing fetch, and honestly love when they get the zoomies and show their personalities. Safety is always a priority. In our home, pets are supervised and can be safely crated or given their own quiet room if needed for rest, comfort, or separation. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play and a dog door so pets can move in and out comfortably throughout the day. We do have a pool that is not fenced, so I make sure dogs are monitored outside and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor access and supervision. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, exercised, and loved.
“What an amazing day care experience! Laree & Keith accommodated us with almost no notice and were very flexible! We can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of our little girl!”
“We love Alex! Our Lily gets so excited when we pull up to Alex's home--she literally pulls us to the door! We are impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful Alex has been with sharing techniques to help correct bad puppy habits. We have found Alex to be reliable and she genuinely cares for Lily as if she were her own. We could not ask for a better caregiver for our pup!”
“Jerron took great care of our two dogs while we were visiting Mesa and was very quick in responding to my last minute request. I think my boys were couch potatoes the whole day, but that tells me they were comfortable there and were able to get some respite from our travels. We will book with Jarron again next time we need a sitter in Mesa!”
About: Every pet is a guest of honor in my home, favortism and special treatment are a given! The care given is equivalent to an all inclusive resort/visit to gradmas experience. I love to go above and beyond every pets needs, so that means double the treats and double the pets! Pet care can fit seamlessly into my daily or weekly routine as i am already a stay at home cat parent! Play, treats, feedings are already a familiar part of my week. I love to spoil my pets, however I understand how important routines are to our pets especially when away from home. I, of course, follow all instructuons im left with. And if there is anything extra I can add, i definitely will!
About: I've been taking care of my dogs since 2014. I also helped others to look after their dogs as well. All my family members love pets. I’m working from home so the dogs will not stay in the crate during the day. We have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out and play. I’m WFH every day. I can walk the dogs in the morning, noon or evening. I can take them out every 2-4 hours if needed. I have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out often. I have a super friendly small dog (11 yr) and a 2.5 yr old border collie. They'll be happy to meet new friends. I do not put dogs/cats in the crate during the day unless requested by owners, instead I use a fence if needed.
About: I’ve cared for pets throughout my childhood and was a dedicated dog parent from 2018–2023. During that time I developed a deep appreciation for each animal’s unique personality, needs, and communication style. I also trained my dog to use communication buttons, which strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to read animal behavior. This experience taught me how to work gently with pets and respond to their cues in a thoughtful way. I provide calm, attentive care and am especially mindful of pets who may feel anxious or sensitive when their owners are away. My goal is always to create a safe, peaceful environment where pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand the extra patience and attentiveness they may need. My goal is for every pet to return home calm, relaxed, and well loved. I provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy their stay right along with them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, walks, and companionship. I am dependable, organized, and make sure each visit includes the care, affection, and monitoring pets need to feel safe and happy. I live in a clean and quiet home in a community with a calm environment that is well suited for pets. I prioritize safety by following each owner’s care instructions closely, keeping pets supervised, and maintaining a peaceful space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet with patience, respect, and attentive care so they feel secure while their owner is away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love having them around. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog! People say I’m the dog whisperer because they just seem to like me. I’m retired so I’m home. I do puzzles and reading and I really enjoy the company of dogs, walking them helps me get my steps in. I can take care of feeding and walking dogs. I do live in an apt and walk my dog 4 times a day, so they would get plenty of exercise and lots of hugs!
“Thank you so much, Susan! I know he can be a handful when his energy levels are high and I do appreciate all that you and your husband do for Loki. He’s at home with you and I can be at work and not have to worry about him at all. Thank you again for being so accommodating and I will definitely look to rebook with you when I need someone to watch him.”

“We used Lauren’s services for day care and she was amazing! Our dogs were very well taken care of and she even took them for a walk. The pups are very happy and so are we! Would definitely recommend Lauren!”
“Mary was great! She was on time both picking up and dropping off, and she sent some early pictures to let me know my pup, who is a little anxious, was doing OK. She got a walk in and gave him some playtime, and he was worn out when he got home.”
About: I have been dog/cat sitting for my family and friends for the past 11 years now. I have voluteered at local animal shelter in Farmington, NM walking all sorts of breeds mainly small dogs.

I do have 3 children's that have grown up around dogs/cats since they were babies, they are very respectful and maintained on how to treat an animal. I am a Sahm who is home 24/7 so there will be someone who is with your fur babies. ❤️ I am home 24/7 through out the day, so there will be someone to watch your pup.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community but I am not new to loving on the pups as I have committed myself to learning the best ways to adapt and give the best care for them. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them (which is SO easy for me to do). I would be honored to take them to a dog park where they can also interact with the other puppers while you’re away! While I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life, I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment. This means I am full of energy and love to give to you and yours! I currently work from home part time so I have lots of time and love to give! This is intentional as I would like to spend more of time around the doggos. I am mostly available M-F but can be available on the weekends as needed, spending time with your pup is something I look forward to! My apartment has a dog park for both small and big dogs, as well as a full park just down the street. I do not own a crate of my own at the moment but I am able to set up their home crate in my space if needed.
“I see why she is a star sitter on rover! Kelsei is literally heaven sent! I had an emergency and she was able to step in to watch my babies on short notice. She did above and beyond what was expected and I couldn't thank her enough! Will definitely book again, and you should too! She really cares and it shows!”

About: I grew up having all animals in my life. From my own house having turtles, birds, Guinea pigs,5 dogs and almost 15 cats!(no joke!) my aunt I’m very close with also had a small farm with lots of farm animals that I’ve helped take care of. Again I’m a super big animal lover and have no problem taking care of easy pets or difficult bigger pets like 100+ pound dogs. I also have many references that go back 8 years long I’m currently working part-time in the slower season of my job at U-Haul moving and storage. My work shifts are usually around six hours long 3-4 days a week so I have plenty of free time and availability. I also am able to take a lunch break if needed to go check on or feed your pets while at work! Currently, I am living in an apartment with my mom who is also an animal lover and helps me take care of any animals that I might have staying over but I usually do stick to smaller animals being brought into my home since I do have a cat already. I usually prefer to go to your house or possibly asleep at your house if you’re gone for the weekend so that way I’m able to give nonstop care and attention to the animal. I also am very easy-going and do not require much when staying at your home! As well, I have many references for taking care of animals for taking care of house houses plants and anything in between
About: I love working with any type of animals. I am a sucker for large breed dogs! I help run a Cat rescue with my MIL , so most of my days revolve around pets. I am a SAHM so I have a wide open availability! Just call my name and I’ll be there! Seriously though , I’ll be there when I say. “Impeccable timing”- ZaZu Having several pets of my own , I understand how important safety is around any and all animals. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.
About: I’ve had many pets myself growing up that I took great care of, and I have experience working at a pet daycare taking care of both cats and dogs including bathing, cleaning kennels, feeding, walking, and playing with them! Ive always usually been the one asked to take care and watch over neighbors and friend’s animals while they’re gone for the day or on vacation! I am free most days and most times during the day! I am not currently working and so I have a lot more time for drop-ins, walks etc! I make sure they are safe, happy and loved! They are fed on time and enough, they always have enough water, potty breaks, toys etc.! I love to play with animals and I am a very active person so I can take dogs on longer walks if desired!
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a kid as I grew up on a ranch, caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, and everything in between. This diverse background gives me a unique understanding of various animal behaviors and needs.

Your fur babies will be in caring hands, and their happiness and well-being will always be my top priority while you're away. Rest assured, they'll receive the utmost care and attention, and they're sure to love their time with me. I currently work full time from home which allows me to have a more flexible schedule when it comes to caring for your pets and home. As a dedicated pet care provider, your pet's safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether caring for your furry friends in your home or providing drop-in visits and walks, I ensure a comfortable and secure environment for them.

“Ivyonna is very personable and interacts with the dogs really well. She seems very passionate about animals, and I would be very happy to recommend her for others that would need a dog walker.”
About: I’m a calm, reliable presence for pets who thrive with gentle routines and clear communication. I’m especially attuned to shy or sensitive animals and take time to help them feel safe and understood. I send thoughtful updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m attentive to safety on walks, using secure leashes, avoiding overstimulation, and matching your dog’s pace and comfort level. I prefer quiet, predictable walking routes and a steady pace, which works well for dogs who enjoy calm outings and consistency. I grew up with multiple dogs and other pets from age 4 to 23, and helped care for them daily — feeding, walking, grooming, playing, and supporting basic training. I’ve also cared for many other pets over the years, including guinea pigs, bunnies, turtles, fish, and friends’ dogs. In Vienna, I regularly did drop‑in cat visits for friends, taking care of feeding, litter, and playtime. When my husband and I moved to Arizona, we completed a 6‑week house and dog sit for two medium dogs in Mesa, which went wonderfully and reminded me how much I love being around animals. I’m naturally calm, reliable, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, safe environment for pets. I’ve always had a strong caregiving instinct — from babysitting as a teen to supporting an elderly neighbor with weekly tasks — and that same warmth and responsibility guide how I care for animals today. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm. I work locally and keep my schedule intentionally spacious, which allows me to offer flexible drop‑in visits throughout the day. I enjoy taking quiet walks in my neighborhood and love adding pet visits into that routine. My days are calm and predictable, so I can give each pet my full attention without rushing. I take safety and trust very seriously. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I always double‑check doors, gates, and food portions, and I keep the home tidy and respectful. I’m attentive to each pet’s body language and comfort level, and I create a calm, predictable environment so they feel safe while their family is away.
“Kylel was wonderful with my baby!! He responded right away to my request, was on time for the meet and greet and all walks. He was so gentle with my dog. I will certainly book him again.”
About: I've been taking care of my dogs since 2014. I also helped others to look after their dogs as well. All my family members love pets. I’m working from home so the dogs will not stay in the crate during the day. We have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out and play. I’m WFH every day. I can walk the dogs in the morning, noon or evening. I can take them out every 2-4 hours if needed. I have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out often. I have a super friendly small dog (11 yr) and a 2.5 yr old border collie. They'll be happy to meet new friends. I do not put dogs/cats in the crate during the day unless requested by owners, instead I use a fence if needed.

“Darbi and Nate were great! We had a few schedule changes post-booking and they were so flexible and accommodating. They took Finny in and just loved on him so much! Sent updates and pictures which was great! In fact…we’re convinced that the poor dog is mad we brought him home 😂 Highly recommend!!”
“Our two dogs had a great stay with Eric. He watched our 2 dogs for 15 days and I think they might have been reluctant to come home! He gave them all the care and attention they would have gotten at home and communicated with us through photos and updates while we were gone. He even took professional-like photos of them and sent those to us while we were gone. It was so unexpected and appreciated! We can't say enough good things about Eric!”
“Our dog was well cared for by Steven’s whole family! We received pics daily of Cedar daily and honestly weren’t sure he’d want to come home! 😆 Don’t send your dog to day care or boarding, send them with Steven and his family on vacation!”
“Veronica and family were amazing with our Deja! Multiple updates and pictures everyday. It was very apparent right from the start that they would take extra care of Deja. They worked with Deja on using the doggy door for the first time and loved her little quirks. I would 100% bring Deja back for sitting.”
About: Hi! Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started caring for animals at a young age, was involved in FFA, and later worked for a veterinarian, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs and situations. I also foster for a Labrador Retriever rescue, which has given me experience with dogs of all personalities — from confident and playful to shy and unsure. I have two dogs of my own: Griffin, my 14-year-old Lab who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and Mia, my Golden Retriever who joined our family three years ago. Having a senior dog has taught me how important patience, routine, and gentle care are. Your dog will be treated like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and care. I work a full time job just five minutes from home. My dog comes to work with me and yours can too. I am only available for pet care in my home. Your dog’s safety is very important to me. I have a secure, fenced yard and a doggie door so they can move comfortably between indoors and outdoors. There is also a swimming pool for dogs who love the water, and I always supervise closely anytime dogs are near the pool.
“Kiersten did an amazing job caring for our dogs! She kept us updated throughout their stay with regular photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also very accommodating with our dogs’ special diet, which isn’t always easy to manage. We were especially grateful when our flight was delayed and we had to pick up our dogs very late. Kristen was incredibly understanding and flexible, and we truly appreciated her kindness. Our dogs were well cared for, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Kristen and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Rachael was AMAZING with my boys. Her care for them, communication and time spent to make sure they felt at home put my heart at ease. I would highly recommend you book with her🤍”
“My First time using Rover and I had to board my dog for 6 days. I searched high and low and read tons of reviews to make the best choice. I was so happy to have found this family. I received daily pictures and updates of my Husky Luna. From the doggy door, to the beautiful back yard and friendly playmates- my dog was comfortable and in good hands. I can’t thank this family enough! Would definitely book again.”
“Laree and Keith are simply amazing and exactly what my dog Sheba needed. They took amazing care of her and understood her personality. She had a lot of fun with their dogs especially Bo and now Sheba has a playmate!”
“Nichole was fantastic with my dogs. Reactive pit mix and our Shepherd mix. They are sweet dogs but you could tell they felt safe and comfortable with Nichole and got all the cuddles they could ask for. They were welcomed and loved. We will be using a Nichole again in the future and love that she took one family at a time it really worked for our situation and recommend her to those looking for a home away from home.”
“Lauren was amazing with my senior dog Mika, who requires special medication and care to help her get up and down! She stayed in good communication and was available for me to come get her a little earlier than planned! Lauren also took lots of photos that made it look like my dog was having more fun than I was on my vacay, and some of them are my favorite ones I have now, so thank you so much for giving me peace of mind on my trip, knowing my girl was in great hands!”
“Erin & James are hands down the best pupsitters that I’ve ever had. My little girl is very anxious and change is hard for her. Erin & James have such a comfortable and loving home and it was so evident how much they cared about Stevie’s comfort and well being while she was with them. They provided daily updates & pictures which meant so much to me. I highly, highly recommend them.”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with Ollie! She was communicative, responded promptly, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Ollie was well cared for and getting lots of love and attention. On top of the excellent care, Cynthia went above and beyond by leaving us a thoughtful thank-you card and printed photos of Ollie. It was such a sweet, personal touch that meant a lot to us. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Cynthia and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️”
“Giovanna and Michael were incredible hosts to Dexter! They went above and beyond keeping me updated and informed on Dexter’s day. I appreciated SO much how many photos and videos they sent! I could genuinely tell Dexter was the happiest boy staying with them! 100000 out of 10!”
“Jerron was very flexible especially since our family plans changed and Javi had to stay an extra night. We were very appreciative of him taking great care of our pup. We are in the area for a month and will book him again if the opportunity presents itself.”
“My puppy had an absolutely amazing time with Emilea , 100% Bella is going there every time I go out of town! She’s super responsive, works from home, has a big secure backyard, everything about the experience was really positive. Thank you so much!”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
