“Megan and Jenny are exceptional. Zoey, my dog, is very comfortable, happy and enjoys being there. While there she enjoys playing ball, snuggling with them and relaxing in the back yard. Megan and Jenny are excellent communicators and provide videos, pictures and updates. I know Zoey is well cared for and safe when she is with them. Excellent dog sitters!!!”
“My cat loves staying with Alexandra. Every time I board with her I always know the kitty will be comfortable and happy. She always sends me plenty of photos and updates and is responsive and communicative. It really makes the stress of traveling a lot more bearable to not have to worry about how my cat is doing! Thank you Alexandra!”
“Mr. Badger had a great visit for a week with Erika while we were traveling. She took excellent care of Mr. B and sent great photos of their snuggle adventures during the week. We will definitely use Erika again.”
“Boba always comes back SO happy and energized :) Whenever he sees our luggages out, he always gets really excited because it also means he gets to see his favorite humans. Jessie and Cade have watched Boba since he was 1 years old as he is now in his mature adult age! Can’t wait to book again next year ❤️”
“Faye and her boyfriend took amazing care of my Benny! Not only are they professional but they are both very sweet. She provided multiple updates a day and Benny felt right at home with them. Benny was all cuddled up and napping with them constantly. I look forward to boarding with them again soon.”
“There’s no place like home but this is the closest place to it. Wonderful, warm, loving and caring home by a wonderful, loving and caring person. And her dear sweet mother too! 5 stars all around. I had to find a sitter on extreme short notice and I was so thrilled that Chawntea was willing to accept my pup with less than 12 hours notice and for a 13 day stay while I was out of the country. My pampered pooch was treated like her own and I honestly think she may have came back more spoiled than when I left her and after that much time away it was a wonderful feeling knowing she was cared for so well. She even gave her a bath! Definitely will be a repeat customer and looking forward to future play dates w/ Bailey. Thank you so much!”
“Chad took great care of our girls, who are both a little shy and take time to warm up. They seemed really relaxed when we picked them up--a good sign! Would definitely work with him again.”
“Abigail was awesome and took great care of our almost 5 year old Havanese, Bailey. She was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. Her home and yard area were perfect. Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”
“Hy and Arlo watched my girl Priscilla for a week while I was out of the country and I will 100% have them watch her again. Pris is sometimes reactive to other dogs, so I'm always nervous leaving her in someone else's care (especially when I'm a flight away!), but Hy and Arlo had experience with this and I felt totally comfortable. I knew it was a good match from the first time I brought her over for a meet and greet. Pris just walked right in, rolled all over the carpet, and made herself at home. I can tell she was well loved and cared for in our absence! I highly recommend.”
“Albina was great! She watched our two mini dachshunds for 5 days. One of our dogs is afraid of new people and has never been able to use a sitter before. Albina was able to win him over within the first few hours. Both of our dogs were totally relaxed and having a great time the entire time! We also loved getting updates each day. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!
“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Diesel was in great hands with Dvora while we were away. She sent us daily updates and photos and it made me very happy to know that he was being taken care of with daily walks, and a ton of attention. He had her good sized yard to run around in and the older dog Mitzy for company. We had introduced our dogs before the official visit and talked over all of Diesel's needs and background so I knew that he was staying with the right person. I highly recommend Dvora and I know when we go away on vacation again she is the first person I would call :) Thank you! ”
“I’m very grateful to have found Lee on Rover! Her yard/house setup is perfect for caring for smaller dogs, and it’s clear that she is a dog person through and through. Sam stayed the weekend with her and had a great time. I have never left him with anyone that isn’t family before. Sam is older and has anxiety. Lee was great at communicating and sent many updates. I was happy to see that Sam came out of his shell and made a friend while he was there! We will definitely be back.”
“Maia was wonderful with Mishka. I can tell she is very thorough and took great care of him. She also sent me updates and lots of pics everyday without me asking for them first. I know Mishka was in good hands with her and will def use her again. She’s also very flexible with drop off and pick up and has great communication.”
“Kennia provided a loving home for my dog, and has wonderful experience with big dogs. I would trust her with my Borsoi always again! I also appreciated her help with the picking-up and drop-off ?? merci, my dear, I’m happy we met!”

“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. One is quite shy so she gave me updates on his whereabouts, while the other is extremely friendly and I got loads of cute photo updates on him. Appreciate her taking this request last minute! Would absolutely book again! Thanks!!!”
“Diana was helpful and communicative and trustworthy with our little bunny, who was honestly pretty messy and required some extra / unexpected care because he got sick and needed medicine. Diana was very consistent with the updates and we loved having someone so local to provide for Janus.”
“Maricruz was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two free-roam bunnies. One of my bunnies is really shy, but he immediately felt safe around her and connected with her. Maricruz sent lots of photos and great updates, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. She kept everything so tidy and clean. I highly recommend Maricruz!”
“Great person to work with. She asks all the right questions which I found really reassuring. Helpful check-ins even with my very shy cats. I couldn’t be more happy with my first time using Rover.”
“Julia was a fantastic sitter for our two kitties! I really appreciated her thoroughness with everything and loved getting her very detailed rover cards every day. She left such nice pictures and notes about how our cats were doing and it really helped us feel better while we were missing them on our trip. She was great to work with and we will definitely book her again!”
“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
“I found out about Rover on a Wednesday and by Thursday Cathy had confirmed a last minute sitting. We had a brief video call and we agreed on the basics. Super easy. Communication was fluent, fast, friendly. She shared pictures of my baby cat every day. Great service.”
“My cat Felix loved his time with Casey! He sends updates every single drop in and took care of everything while I was gone. I definitely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a buddy for their pets while they’re away. Thank you Casey!”
“Suzanne took great care of my baby Cosmo! She was quick to respond to messages, sent thorough updates, and clearly really understands and loves cats - even my shy boy warmed up to her faster than usual. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter and will book again!”
“Nicky is super reliable and responds to requests very quickly. She recently pet sit for our super senior cat on oral meds at the last minute for a long weekend. She sends pictures with her visits and our cat was in great shape when we came home. Thanks, Nicky!!”
About: I'm a former veterinary assistant with experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. From energetic kittens to senior cats, I understand that every cat deserves care that's tailored to their unique personality.

I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your cat stays on their normal routine, including feeding, litter box maintenance, medications, and enrichment.
“Eleanna took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away! She provided detailed updates and pictures, and we came home to a happy and healthy cat. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Carri was wonderful! She took great care of my two cats. She was communicative, caring, trustworthy, and dependable. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets.

I have hands-on experience with different personalities, including more sensitive or particular pets. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of their space, whether that means giving them extra attention or letting them come to me on their own terms. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and playtime preferences. I also know how important updates are, so I’ll keep you informed with photos and check-ins so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“We are so lucky to have Briana to watch our pup. Hersh is very comfortable and loves spending time with her! Having peace of mind when you’re away from your fur baby is important to us so Briana is our go-to! We always enjoy the pics/vids she sends of Hershel ♥️”
“My first impression in meeting Shai (I liked this nickname of his, not sure if I spelled it right) was that, he had such a warm and kind energy about him. He made me feel at ease leaving my puppy with him. I had so much anxiety that whole day since this was my first time leaving my puppy (5months) alone with a stranger. She is usually accompanied with her bestie/roommate when someone else dog sits for us. I am very new to Rover. I was sent a lot of photos of her and her environment throughout the night which made me feel reassured that she is in a good spot. We even chatted for a bit when I picked her up and he gave lots of great advice. I am definitely going to be a returning client!”
“Angel was such a wonderful sitter, and a complete lifesaver! We needed care last minute and she was available. For our first time using Rover, I could not have asked for such a wonderful person. I'm so grateful for her constant communication and reassurance that our Tempi was doing good. Highly recommend her! And if available would love to continue having Tempi stay with her.”
“Such an amazing visit. Hudson had a blast and burned so much energy playing with oscar, he barely had the energy to make it home! ? Iryna provided frequent updates with pics throughout the day so we always knew what the little dude was up to. We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Erika has made our pup Murphy very welcome in her home and her dog Sweet Pea is very cute. Murphy comes home very happy after her stay, and Erika does a great job sending us photos & updates. We are very happy to have found Erika!”
“Tamara took such good care of our pup who has a lot of separation anxiety. He had so much fun playing with her dogs and came back so tired and happy. I’m sure our dog can’t wait to go back!”
“Faye hosted my baby for doggy day care. Fay had great communication prior and during my dogs stay and sent updates with pictures. I trusted my baby was in good hands. All went well, I definitely recommend Faye!”
“Alejandra is the best! She took such good care of MoMo and sent me photos & updates throughout the day. This is my 3rd booking with her and my trust in her grows each time - Tysm Alejandra!”
“Tobie had another wonderful stay with Michelle and Mandar. They have a great set up with a yard to play in and he gets lots of love and cuddles. I really appreciated the photo and video updates that Michelle sent throughout the day. They are a very nice family and they show lots of care and attention to the pups that stay with them. We look forward to a return visit!”
About: Hey my names Kenneth de arman , I have large amounts of knowledge on dog psychology and physiology. I have trained dogs for 9 years and have cared for numerous animals since I was 10. I have owned large dogs and small breeds. Also have owned an abundance of reptiles. I am certified in explosive detection. I specialize in obedience, socialization, behavior modification and I raised American Bullys for 8 years. I have owned a large number of dogs over 27 years. There isn’t anything that’s to much for me. What sets me apart of other people is that I work with all breeds but specifically working dogs. I am confident and have trained dogs from start to finish. If you need any help or have any questions I’d be more than welcome to answer them for you. I am available for drop in the am and pick up time around 5pm. I am never discouraged when it comes to caring for an animal. I make time and I will always move my schedule around so that the animals can be happy. I have a fenced yard that is split, boarders have been placed along the fence. This is to prevent fence fighting or becoming territorial. I have large water bowls I keep 2 outside. I refill the water ever 2-3 hours a day. I clean the yard with a pooper scooper three times a day. I spray the yard with cleaner and fly spray. I do this everyday 7 days a week. My dogs are usually outside from morning till night. I give them walks in between the day and I train my malinois a lot due to their high drive( trainer for 9yrs) . Always entertaining them and giving them something to do is crucial.
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“I have no doubt that my baby is in the best hands with Ruthy. I keep coming back to her for Doggie Daycare, and will continue to. She goes above and beyond and trains him on his off-leash skills (something I definitely want him to do better in). She understands Buddy (and her other handsome pups) in a way that is truly unique. Buddy goes running to her in the mornings, which he does not do with most people. It genuinely makes her happy to see Buddy thrive and progress in his skills. She consistently sends photos and videos of their day together and updates me on what they're up to throughout the day, which I LOVE. I am someone who usually stresses about my dog when I'm away from him, but I have such a sense of relief when he is with Ruthy!”
“If I could add extra stars to her rating, I would! Sara took the best care of my little doggo, Charlie. Charlie is a rescue with a lot of anxiety (including separation anxiety) so I am usually with her. I wanted to find the best fit for us both so she could have fun and be safe while I could have a peace of mind- and I found it! Charlie went to Sara instantly and now she has a new best friend (Sara’s adorable dog Soba- they loved each other at first sight). Charlie is typically a more tentative dog, so the way she felt so comfortable so fast told me all I needed to know! Speaking as an over-protective parent, it was really relieving having Charlie with somebody I trust. We’ll be back again :)”

“Jacalyn is fabulous! When we first met she was so attentive. Talking notes, asking questions. Our puppy loved her immediately. Very qualified , kind, communicative & punctually. Will definitely be using her again”
“Melanie is great! She takes good care of my dog! She is always very punctual and follows all the instructions. My dog was really happy when she took her out! Definitely will choose her again next time!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.
“Eleanna is a fantastic Pet Care provider. She understands animals. I trusted her inherently the first time I met her. She has been caring for my animals while I’ve been away and I feel completely confident and safe with them in her care. My dog is learning from a recent training on leash reactivity and she worked well with Java in my absence. Java dog made progress! Thank you Eleanna”
About: I love dogs and cats and am excited to get to know your pet and their unique quirks. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats, and have a special fondness for little dogs I’m on summer break so have plenty of free time to walk dogs and am available for longer pet sitting as well! I appreciate a few days notice before pet sitting gigs. I am unable to take care of pets at my own place. I am happy to work with you on how I can best support your pet while respecting your space and comfort.
About: I’ve always loved pets especially dogs, excited to get your pet some outdoor time! I’m happy to walk any kind of pup and can promise lots of pets and positive affirmations. I work from home so my schedule is flexible, looking to get outside to break up the day and take pups out for some outdoor time and exercise. I am very observant of pets behavior and provide care based on their specific needs. I have worked with anxious pets and am comfortable with techniques to soothe pets and create a calm environment.
“I was home when Heather picked up the dogs today - I was happy to see how excited they were to see her. We recently moved here, and I’m happy they have already made one good friend.”
“Briana has been wonderful with my pup, who can be difficult to walk and has had an injury recently. My dog loves her, and Briana's been so responsible, responsive to requests, and has taken great care of my dog.”
About: I’ve had pets all of my life! I will treat your pet as my own. Love and respect go a long way in gaining a friendship with all pets. I work full time at a 9-5 type job. When I’ve stayed with pets, they get a walk before I leave for work and after I get home. I don’t take jobs too far away from my area during the week. I wouldn’t want to leave my own pet alone for more than I needed to, let alone someone else’s pet. My preference is to work with dachshunds, American bull terriers and cat. If I’m available, I’d love to sit for you! My small dachshund has a crate he sleeps in and a decent back yard. I will adhere to all instructions from the owners for their pets. Even if your pet is comfortable around other pets and kids, I tend to steer clear of distractions on walks. Just for safety ☺️
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Alex. I am a single mom of 2 amazing girls; 13 and 7 years old. We have a huge love for dogs and pets in our home; they truly bring our house so much joy. We love to be outside; walks on the beach, going to the park across the street from our house, hikes, and I enjoy running (3 miles if I am lucky and have the time). I have always had a family dog(s) growing up as a child. I have been a ‘professional’ dog caregiver for over 5 years now. I am reliable, timely, attentive, and active. I ensure every dog we care for is kept as closely to the same routine they have at home. Walks, feedings, baths, sleeping; I try to keep the same routine as if they were home. I work from home, so being able to attended to a furry friend during the day is very doable. Depending on the furry friends routine; I can offer walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I also have a fenced in backyard so going out for potty breaks is easy too :) I have a fenced in backyard for the pups to go out to the bathroom or to stretch their legs. There is enough space in my home for a crate if your fur baby likes to sleep in a crate. I try my best to keep routines the same from their home to my home.
About: I have experience owning and training dogs, as well as walking and dog sitting for family and friends. The feedback I have received is that I am caring, respectful, and consistent. I am reliable and flexible due to being retired. I love dogs and love daily walks around beautiful Alameda. Seems like a brilliant combination to put the two together. I start wherever the dog is regarding their comfort level and ability. I recognize the trust the owner places in me with both their dog and with their home.
“Alice and her kids were brilliant! She goes above and beyond being intuitive to our dogs’ needs, getting them good excercise and a good dose of loving care. I am comforted knowing my pups will get the loving attention they need (and excercise) with Alice.”
“Julia and Thomas are great, reliable and friendly dog walkers. They started walking my dog this week and have been great getting to know my dog, his habits and likes. They're also very clear communicators when they will be out of town, and we've been able to plan our walk schedule out by several weeks. Thanks to both of you!”
About: Thank you for considering me to be your dog’s home away from home! I have over 8 years of experience caring for my childhood dogs, along with caring for dogs outside of Rover. I have experience with taking care of dogs as young as 2 months old and as old as 16 years old. With my experience I understand that all dogs are different and need special care and attention. Being away from your dog, and your dog being away from you can bring a lot of anxiety for the dogs as well the owner; but I am more than happy to help ease the anxiety and make sure your dog is loved and care for and receiving all the attention they need while you are away. Although I don’t have a yard, I am walking minutes away from the beach, and parks nearby. I work from home Monday-Friday which will allow me to keep a close eye on your beloved fur baby; and will also allow more flexibility for drop off and pick up. I am currently working full time remotely which allows me more flexibility with accommodations. Please send me a message for any scheduling accommodations you may need. I am able to provide your fur baby at least 3 walks/day (Morning, noon, evening). Depending on your preference, I can send an update once or twice (morning and evening) a day. I have experience working with senior dogs therefore I am familiar with administering medication if your dog has any medications they are taking.

“Megan and Jenny are exceptional. Zoey, my dog, is very comfortable, happy and enjoys being there. While there she enjoys playing ball, snuggling with them and relaxing in the back yard. Megan and Jenny are excellent communicators and provide videos, pictures and updates. I know Zoey is well cared for and safe when she is with them. Excellent dog sitters!!!”

She always sends me plenty of photos and updates and is responsive and communicative. It really makes the stress of traveling a lot more bearable to not have to worry about how my cat is doing! Thank you Alexandra!”
“Boba always comes back SO happy and energized :) Whenever he sees our luggages out, he always gets really excited because it also means he gets to see his favorite humans. Jessie and Cade have watched Boba since he was 1 years old as he is now in his mature adult age! Can’t wait to book again next year ❤️”
“Chad took great care of our girls, who are both a little shy and take time to warm up. They seemed really relaxed when we picked them up--a good sign! Would definitely work with him again.”
“Hy and Arlo watched my girl Priscilla for a week while I was out of the country and I will 100% have them watch her again. Pris is sometimes reactive to other dogs, so I'm always nervous leaving her in someone else's care (especially when I'm a flight away!), but Hy and Arlo had experience with this and I felt totally comfortable. I knew it was a good match from the first time I brought her over for a meet and greet. Pris just walked right in, rolled all over the carpet, and made herself at home. I can tell she was well loved and cared for in our absence! I highly recommend.”

“Josie and her partner took such good care of Lily. She was communicative and enthusiastic, happy to accept a short notice booking. I really appreciated her attitude and attentiveness. The fact that she has 2 adorable dogs of her own is a bonus, because Lily is very social and happier when she has friends to play with. Having a backyard helps, too, so the dogs can run around together more freely. I was very pleased with Lily's care. Josie is one of my new favorite sitter for her.”
“Daryl and Andrew were wonderful. They were patient, warm, and very caring with our pup Loki. In addition, they were gracious in enabling us to slightly shift pick up time at the last minute. I would highly recommend them.”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“Ruthy is a fantastic find! This was our first time using Rover.com and we really lucked out in finding someone as knowledgeable, responsible, and passionate about dogs as Ruthy. Our dog is a newly adopted large-breed dog with a lot of energy as well as separation anxiety. There are not a lot of sitters that would be able to handle our guy! From the moment we met Ruthy at the meet-and-greet we could tell that she took her job very seriously and knew how to be a responsible dog owner and caretaker. We've used Ruthy once for doggy daycare and once for boarding, and we are going to keep using her again because we could not imagine there being anyone better to care for our pup. We also loved all the pictures and videos of our dog enjoying his stay while we were out of town (it actually made us worry that he had forgotten about us)! We would highly recommend Ruthy to anyone who wants to leave their dog with someone who not only knows how to handle dogs, but who truly cares about them.”
“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”
“Meagan was absolutely amazing! Bless her soul, she cared for my very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer over our winter break, and while we were living it up in warm weather, she was in charge. I can only imagine that after several days of rain, with short potty breaks between the raindrops, the dogs in her care were going stir crazy. Despite the rough weather, we got excellent updates throughout our trip and fabulous photos to reassure us that our fur-baby was in great hands. She also was willing to administer medication without batting an eye. I will 100% hope to have our pup stay with Meagan again! She was fabulous.”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
“I had a great experience with Mollie. Gemma has special needs so I was looking for someone who would be attentive, experienced, and caring. She was all of that and more. Mollie followed my dog's feeding routine, gave all medications without any issues, and made sure Gemma was comfortable and well cared for. She kept in touch while I was away. When I picked Gemma up, she was happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Mollie and will definitely hire her again!”
