“Being returning customer speaks volumes of the quality of the job business performed, and whether goods/service was worth the money. We are exceptionally pleased with Ron after first time dog sitting experience, and did not hesitate to bring our precious baby Pedro (12 y/old Chihuahua) for another boarding weekend with Ron. Pedro loves his pals (Ron’s 2 adorable dogs), and enjoys spending time at Ron’s house. We are so grateful for Ron, and feel we could not have found a better caregiver for our precious baby Pedro, and hoping to continue being customers for years to come!”
“I was nervous leaving my cocker spaniel, Hedwig at a daycare for the first time. I wasn’t sure how he would behave with other dogs without a leash. During a meet and greet with Beth she put me at ease pointing out the positive behavior Hedwig was behaving with the other dogs. While on my ten day vacation, she sent me a video of Hedwig wanting to play with another dog as well as 3 pictures of him relaxing and he looked happy. He even slept under her bed at night. I’m glad Hedwig felt right at home and he will definitely be going back. Thank you Beth.”
“I was afraid my dog would have separation anxiety and was nervous leaving her, but Gail is amazing! My dog didn't even need her anxiety meds! I got daily updates and pictures of my dog, Huney. I will definitely be using Gail again wherever I go on vacation! Thank you, Gail!”
“We have two small terrier mixes and they’re always calm and happy when we pick them up after a stay with Sheila and David. Sheila sends cute messages and picture/video updates during each stay and we’re always comforted knowing our pups are being well taken care of. We moved across town a couple years ago and still choose to book with her whenever we can. She has a great indoor and outdoor set up for our smaller pups and plenty of space for them to run and play. We highly recommend her ☺️”
“Richard and Jeannette are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my little guy with anyone since he had never been left with anyone but family before. He warmed right up with them and they truly treated him like they’re own and took such good care of him! They gave updates his entire stay and sent pictures of him being spoiled :). We will definitely be using them every time we need a doggy sitter!”
“I am so happy and relieved to have found Katarina. I hate having to be away from my little guy, but I feel so much better knowing he is with Katarina in her home. He we clearly so loved and cared for while I was away. So grateful for Katarina and her family.”
“Our dog loved Erica. He came home very happy. She took him on walks (which he loves) and send us lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely come back. Thanks Erica.”
“I don't not do much public feedback or social media. But, I decided to leave one for Cathleen. She is a very nice person and she truly loves dogs. She took great care of my dog Daisy. When I picked Daisy up, she seemed relaxed and happy. There's is nothing better then having a happy dog. I will definitely see if Cathleen is available next time I need a sitter for Daisy.”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Vicky! I wanted to thank you, for taking such good care of my baby Theodore while I was away. I was very comfortable leaving him with you. I was confident and I knew that he would be in good hands with you. I appreciate you keeping me posted with Theodore’s daily activities. I will definitely reach out to you in the future to watch my Theodore for me again. Thank you so much! For everything ”
“Barbara did such a great job with our dachshund, Nola. We received daily updates and pictures which we really appreciated since we hadn’t left her for a long time. We just picked her up after a week. It was clear she had been well cared for. I would highly recommend Barbara. We will definitely use her again.”
“Marraya and her mother went above and beyond to accommodate our tiny but mighty chihuahuas for an entire weekend. They cared and loved our babies like if they were their own. Fur babies had to board at Marrayas house which was so clean and smelled so fresh. Abe and Zena do have special requirements and they were all fulfilled. Marraya was very commutative with updates and cute photos! She will be our go to sitter for any trips! 🙌🙏🙏”
“Sylvie is the BEST! I live about 30 miles away but I feel very comfortable leaving my lil fur baby Lucy w her. Lucy still suffers from separation anxiety but she absolutely loves it at Sylvie's Den where she plays all day with cookie & the other house guest ???. I love that Sylvie cares so much about the pups. She gave me suggestions about food & things I should do to help my lil rescue adjust & be healthy. So glad I found Sylvie, she's the BEST!!! ”
“Michelle is AMAZING! She gave Rebel love and care as if her were her own. She sent daily pictures of their walks, and play time. I highly recommend considering Michelle for your pet-sitting needs. She definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“Lara was amazing and took great care of our dog! I don’t think he wanted to come home. Lara sent updates and pictures all throughout our dog’s stay and was very communicative. Will definitely use Lara again!”
“Brittani was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, made us feel very comfortable with our choice of picking her. She made sure our dog was well taken care of and went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable/loved. Highly recommend her for watching your furry family!”
“Christie and Daniel worked around our crazy schedule to take care of Scarlett. They were awesome with her and loved the pictures and videos they sent. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Words cannot express my gratitude to Ashley for accomodating my chiweenie Coochie last minute on Easter weekend. Coochie was untrained and antisocial and Ashley worked her magic and taught her how to sit and socialize, even with bigger dogs! If I could give seven out of five stars, I would. This woman and her kiddo are a wonder team of dog trainers that you don't want to miss if you need someone to trust with your 4-legged baby. What a relief and a delight! Thanks Auntie Ashley!”
“Kat kept my 2 year old Cavapoo for a week. She sent me pictures daily, has great communication. My dog loves attention and they seemed to give him plenty of that. He had the time of his life playing with her dogs. I would highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”

“Travis really went above and beyond. I can’t say enough about the care that he took with my dad’s cat while helping was hospitalized. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Asher provided great care for our kitties! Provided wonderful updates on how they were doing while we were out of town, and great pictures of them. Would definitely recommend and rebook. Thanks Asher!!! 🙂👍”
“Logan was awesome! Super communicative, cared about the cats, and even connected with me to follow up after I made it home. I would completely recommend Logan as a sitter to anyone!”
“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”
“Xochitl was amaaazing with my cat. I needed visits daily for a week, and they took great care of Zackie. In the photos of their visits, my cat was rubbing up against their foot in only a couple of days. Would recommend! 11/10”
“Jaycee is great! She is super attentive and makes an effort to know the details of caring for your pet. She is very communicative and considerate as well. I also appreciate how flexible she is. I would definitely book pet sitting with her again!”
“Sidney is just tremendous. She must be because my notoriously shy and skittish cat came out to greet her on the couch. That’s never happened with any sitter, so I appreciate her obvious skills with felines! Very easy to communicate with as well. Very highly recommend!”
About: I worked at a boarding business for cats and dogs and was around many different breeds, sizes, and ages of cats. In this job I had to clean out their litter box, feed them their desired food, and also give medicine to the ones that needed it. I also had to play and cuddle and spend time with each cat during a shift. I have always grown up around cats, my first ever pet was a cat, and I own a cat now as well. I can pick up on their moods fairly quickly and know basic knowledge of cats health.
“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”
“Jewel checked in on my cat Cleo twice each day to make sure she was eating and also getting some enrichment. She made sure that the litterbox was cleaned up daily and that there was enough water for Cleo each day. Jewel made sure to write up a summary after each visit. I came back home to find Cleo as happy and healthy as she was before I left and that she had already been fed. She got along very well with Jewel based on the reports. Overall, I would definitely ask Jewel to look after Cleo again.”
“Gabby looked after my cats during the holidays. She gave excellent updates and pictures. I appreciate her notifying me right away when she noticed my cat was a bit sneezy. I always feel comfortable leaving because I know they’re being well cared for. This was about the 5th time she looked after my cats, and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.”
“Aiyana was a wonderful cat-sitter for our kitties. She instantly bonded with them on a pre-trip visit to our home. She is a very good communicator and sent us pictures regularly while we were gone. When we got home, our cats were healthy and happy! I highly recommend her as a pet-sitter (and she's a super nice person as well!)”

About: I've loved dogs my whole life! When I was born my mom had a chocolate lab and a doberman. Then my dad got a rescue pitbull and a husky mix. Right now my family has a mini golden doodle who's been with us for 14 years and a mini Aussie doodle. I also have a pitbull mix named nova! She's two years old. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me! I just graduated esthetician school and I’m currently starting my business. Everything I make on rover goes towards my career! Im currently starting my entrepreneurial journey. Right now I’m a full time pet care giver. I also work a weekend night job. I do not have a set schedule so I have open availability. I prefer to care for pets in my home but I’m always happy to accommodate whatever the client needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play and accessible paths for walks. During sittings I make sure to not only take great care of the pet but the clients home as well.
About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!
“We appreciated and were so thankful that Barbara was able to watch our 5 yr. old Jojo on short notice. Barbara and Jojo seemd comfortable with each other as soon as they met. Although we were only gone for the day, Barbara sent photos and let us know that Jojo had adjusted quickly. Barbara was friendly and welcoming and we were able to spend our day without worrying. We will definetly ask Barbara to watch Jojo again.”
“Kat has taken care of my large dog on multiple occasions, always treating him with love and patience. He is loving but excitable, and Kat always knows how to calm him and provide him a happy space.”
“So glad I found Beth and her doggie haven. Ollie recently lost his best friend and needs some extra love and support while I am away long hours at work. Beth was able to accommodate my times and I loved meeting her and her pups. Ollie had a great time and will be coming back soon!”
About: I currently work from home and am available for all of your dogs needs from companionship, stimulation and bathroom breaks. I pride myself on being available to the dogs and a present pet parent. I work from home and your pet will be included in my day to day activities as if it were my own. I am very attentive caring and sensitive to the needs of my pets which in turn will make me sensitive to the needs of your pet. The pets in my home are cared for as family, they get free reign of the house, they have full access to my back yard and they are not left alone in the back yard.
“Chris was wonderful with Ziggy! We received pics and even a video! Ziggy was picked up and immediately fell asleep a happy pup! We look forward to booking with Chris again.”
“Reagan is happy, tired, and beaming after her day with her favorite people and pups. And I am her happy person knowing she had another day of fun and exceptional care. Reagan is always happy and confident after her time with Christie, Daniel, and their family, and we can’t wait until our next play day in a few weeks.”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!
“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”
About: When I moved into my house in 2018, one of my first priorities was to get a dog. Recently, Addie, who spent the past 7 years with me, had to be put down unexpectedly. I miss her a ton, and I would love to open my home to another dog (the yard just calls out for it), but I am unable to adopt at the moment for logistical/financial reasons. I would love for your pets and I to keep each other company while I work from home during the day! I am a diligent and reliable person who works remotely as a paralegal, so I always need excuses (whether walks, play, food, snuggles, or just potty breaks) to get up from my desk and move at intervals throughout the work day. I love animals of all kinds - in addition to my own dog, I can submit my friends' pets as references (Mildred the cat likes me better than her owner's wife, and Maggie the dog is obsessed with me while spurning every other friend her owners have). I'm also a birdwatcher and a huge fan of all the wildlife in my yard, from bunnies to lizards. My dog training and medical/senior pet care skills are limited, but I am open to learning and strongly attentive to detail - I will be sure to give your pet what they need. I work from home during the week, with approximate hours of 7 am - 4 pm M-F. On Tuesdays I have appointments in the afternoons, so I will not be available for day care that day. Weekend availability will depend on my plans. I don't have any pets at home currently. I have a screened-in patio with a dog door leading to the fenced-in backyard. When the weather is nice (not too hot), I like to work in the patio. The yard backs onto a wash, so there is a lot of wildlife in the area. Javelinas and coyotes frequent the area but cannot get into the yard. I have seen two rattlesnakes in the yard in 7 years of living here. I would not leave small/medium dogs or cats outside unsupervised. If you give permission, I would feel comfortable leaving large dogs who are snake trained outside while I'm in the house (as I often did with my 80 lb golden doodle).
“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our 14 year old Benji. She made his stay very comfortable, and she sent us pictures to let us know he was happy and safe!”
“We are so grateful to have connected with Lesley. She is a remarkable human being and she treated our Edith with so much love and care. Already looking forward to their next day together. Can not thank you enough, Lesley. Blessings and peace to you.”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“Logan was super professional and kind. I really appreciated his patience with my shy girl. I never worried about Penelope knowing she was in great hands. I loved all the updates and pics!”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.
About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.
About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in my family. However now that I’m an out-of-state student, I’ve been feeling homesick and it especially doesn’t help that I’m not around any dog love anymore. I heard about Rover through a friend and felt that this would help me with what I’ve been feeling. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I’m a full time student at the U of A with only morning classes, and plenty of time afterwards to have a fun playdate with your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a calm and respectful individual, who will do anything to assure you that your furry friend will be safe at all times in my care.
About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!
About: I have taken care of both puppies and adult dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can drop by more than once daily if needed! I’m retired and have an open schedule. I can do multiple visits daily if needed. I also have the flexibility to do longer visits if needed to provide socialization and comfort for your pet! I don’t have the ability to care for pets in my home, but I’m available to go to my clients’ homes as frequently as needed. My policy is to be very respectful of my client’s space while spending quality time with their pets! I can accomodate any special needs and I follow instructions well!
“Abriana is fantastic, very patient. Abriana took as much time as my guy Otis needed to get comfortable. It worked :). Otis, who is extremely skittish, warmed up and even sat on Abriana’s lap!!!! Thank you, Abriana!!!”
“Danika is a great communicator. Appreciated the text messages and pictures of the dogs. She was very considerate of the dogs in terms of the temperature outside for walks. Made adjustments to walking depending on the weather. Showed concern for our dogs' well-being and safety.”
“Sheila was wonderful! She helped walk two of our dogs while I was away and was great to work with. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were getting out and cared for. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“My dog, Red, loves Aubrey! She is reliable and genuinely passionate about animal care. She provides pictures and details of their walks - and she always has something sweet to say about my Red! I highly reccomend her services to anyone.”
“Morgan was wonderful! She is an excellent communicator and very authentic in her care for Izzy. She sent great updates and photos. We will certainly use her in the future to care for our fur child.”

I work part time, my shifts usually being from 6 am - 1 pm on weekdays, which gives me much of my day to take care of your pets!

I’ve cared for young and geriatric dogs, dogs with anxiety, and have experience giving medication (oral meds and eye drops!) I’m off for the summer before school, so my schedule is flexible!

About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.
About: Hello I’m Karinnah! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care clinic. I got my VA certification from Pima Medical Institute in 2022 and have worked at multiple clinics over the last 4 years. I also have work history at a couple different boarding/daycare facilities prior to becoming a VA. I am very familiar with boarding, daycare, and veterinary environments so rest assured, your 4-legged pal is in responsible hands. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, cats, and other little beasties, nothing is too out of the ordinary for me these days. I grew up with many pups and kitties in my life so it’s a familiar feeling having animals around constantly. As a CVA I have professional training in general, emergency, intensive veterinary care so I am able to adjust to any of your pets medical needs if necessary. I am also a pet parent myself with 2 crazy dogs and 1 spicy cat and understand how important getting proper care for them is. My clinic is open weekdays from 3-11pm and weekends 10am-8pm. I am off on Saturday, Wednesday, and Thursdays typically. I can probably take bookings earlier in the day on days I work with enough notice. Whatever setup you have in your home I am willing to work with, it’s all about your buddy’s comfort and your peace of mind! If you have a reactive or aggressive dog I’m willing to do house calls. Any feeding or medication accommodations are fine with me as well.
About: I've had pets since I was a baby. My mother had a little wading pool and she used to put our pet ducklings in the water to swim with me. When I was five, I started bringing home injured animals. I've worked with everything from skunks to raptors to more common animals like dogs, cats, and horses. When I got old enough, I started volunteering for different rescue organizations. I will walk your pet frequently and give lots of cuddles. Pets are our children and soulmates. They teach us how we should be--they are angels that inhabit the earth for a short time. For important details: I only work with one client at a time so that I can supervise and care properly for your pet. I work remotely from home for a governmental organization, so I am home and available. My backyard has a 6 foot wall but no pet is left unsupervised. I do not smoke or allow others in the house when I am boarding a dog, as you do not know that person. I treat all my clients and their pets the way I’d want to be treated. As I said, I work remotely, so I am home with my dog during the day. We go to coffeehouses together to work sometimes and have plenty of playtime in the yard. She gets a really long walk at sunrise and has little ones throughout the day as well. Her happiness is my priority. I make sure she goes to her vet regularly and gets groomed, so that she can be healthy and feel her best. I have a large, walled backyard garden full of lots of places for a pet to sniff, yet it’s safe enough for them to explore. My dog does not go out there unsupervised. At sunset to night, I walk her on the leash back there to ensure predators don’t find her. She is a member of my family, and has her own special places and pillows to make her feel safe and comfortable.

“I was afraid my dog would have separation anxiety and was nervous leaving her, but Gail is amazing! My dog didn't even need her anxiety meds! I got daily updates and pictures of my dog, Huney. I will definitely be using Gail again wherever I go on vacation! Thank you, Gail!”
“I don't not do much public feedback or social media. But, I decided to leave one for Cathleen. She is a very nice person and she truly loves dogs. She took great care of my dog Daisy. When I picked Daisy up, she seemed relaxed and happy. There's is nothing better then having a happy dog. I will definitely see if Cathleen is available next time I need a sitter for Daisy.”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Vicky! I wanted to thank you, for taking such good care of my baby Theodore while I was away. I was very comfortable leaving him with you. I was confident and I knew that he would be in good hands with you. I appreciate you keeping me posted with Theodore’s daily activities. I will definitely reach out to you in the future to watch my Theodore for me again. Thank you so much! For everything ”
“Michelle is AMAZING! She gave Rebel love and care as if her were her own. She sent daily pictures of their walks, and play time. I highly recommend considering Michelle for your pet-sitting needs. She definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“Lara was amazing and took great care of our dog! I don’t think he wanted to come home. Lara sent updates and pictures all throughout our dog’s stay and was very communicative. Will definitely use Lara again!”
“Brittani was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, made us feel very comfortable with our choice of picking her. She made sure our dog was well taken care of and went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable/loved. Highly recommend her for watching your furry family!”
“Christie and Daniel worked around our crazy schedule to take care of Scarlett. They were awesome with her and loved the pictures and videos they sent. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Words cannot express my gratitude to Ashley for accomodating my chiweenie Coochie last minute on Easter weekend. Coochie was untrained and antisocial and Ashley worked her magic and taught her how to sit and socialize, even with bigger dogs! If I could give seven out of five stars, I would. This woman and her kiddo are a wonder team of dog trainers that you don't want to miss if you need someone to trust with your 4-legged baby. What a relief and a delight! Thanks Auntie Ashley!”
“Christina was honestly so amazing. I would give her 6 stars if I could. She gave us multiple updates a day with a bunch of pictures which we loved! She took our puppy on daily walks and adventures. She’s very caring and considerate and genuinely cares about the happiness of the pets in her care. Thank you so much again definitely recommend!”
“I want to express my gratitude for the excellent care you provided to our beloved Ana. Your warmth and professionalism were truly appreciated. The photos you shared during her stay were delightful and reassuring, showing us that she was thriving under your attentive care. Thank you for ensuring Ana received her medicine promptly, demonstrating your commitment to her well-being. We are sincerely grateful for your outstanding service, and we look forward to entrusting Ana to your care again in the future.”
“Andreah was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive during the booking process and most importantly she took great care of our dog. While Rocco was staying with her she kept us up to date on how he was doing with frequent messages and photos. We have already booked her again for a longer stay. Highly recommended.”
“Dana is wonderful. One of my bag straps broke during drop off and she had repaired it for me when I came to pick my dog up. She also sent adorable photos and videos while watching my dog. So thankful I found her!”
“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”
“Karma was a happy camper!!! I got the most adorable daily pictures and updates, it was so clear that Karma was having the best vacation!! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better 🥰 thank you!!”
“Our dog knew something was going on when we got into the car. As we walked him to Lauren’s front door he was like a toddler saying no. He didn’t want to go inside and didn’t want to be left behind. But Lauren scooped him up and within two minutes you could see how comfortable he was with her. She had won him over that quickly. It made it so much easier for us to go on our first trip away from him knowing he was in a genuinely caring environment. She kept us updated and most importantly we came back to a happy and healthy puppy. Absolutely will use Lauren again!”
“Korrina was the sweetest! She asked all the questions and sent me daily updates. My puppy came back looking so happy and rested. Thank you so much for taking care of my Daisy. I will definitely be rebooking 🤗”
“Amazing family! Our puppy loved his stay of 3 days with them. He was well taken care of and was loved. They gave him full attention and made sure he felt at home! I would 100% recommend and will book again!”
