“Wen is amazing caretaker. I felt happy and at ease with having my cats with her. She made sure they were comfortable, loved, well fed and happy in their stay. Definitely getting her again in the future. Recommend to any pet parent.”
“Randi is amazing! I was SO nervous in the beginning, because I have a high energy 1 year old pup who has “only pup syndrome”… but Randi alleviated me of all my stress and anxiety. She sent me pictures and updates and I felt so at ease. My Rocky had a wonderful time, he was loved on and cuddled! Randi really took great care of our boy. I’m so grateful for her loving and compassionate care! Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Lupe was great! Great communication, sent pictures and videos, and kept me updated. She has plenty of space for Kona to run around and play. She even had her own room! Would definitely use her again!”
“Good morning, Giezell I was unable to access this account. I stayed up late last night w/o success. I'm working to get this across the line to you prior to departing for work this morning. I'm hoping and praying that I will have time over lunch to pick up Croissant. I'll keep you posted. I searched for your ph# in my phone but was unable to locate you as I did not properly save it. Cheers, Angelique”
“Gidget had a blast staying a few days at Michael and Melissa's home. Bonus...she got to play with kids, Mr Bubbles and a bird!!!! Michael and Melissa were very accommodating. Gidget is looking forward to the next visit! Highly recommend for your furry family member if it's for a day or several days!”
“Once again, Jessica was a terrific sitter while we were away for an extended weekend in Tahoe. This is the 2nd time we've used her services. Jessica provided regular updates with photos, and we always felt sure that Penny was in safe, responsible hands. Absolutely would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an amazing sitter :)”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“Jacqueline has a lovely family home and an excellent set up for pet care and amusement. She and her family seemed genuinely interested in Mariah's well being during her short stay. I would definitely use her for my little dog's care in the future.”
“John was absolutely fantastic! He took exceptional care of our two German Shepherds while we were away and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands—we will gladly book with him again.”
“Sandra and his family are very welcoming and kind. My adult dog has not been in a dog daycare for a long while, and she might've been so nervous being away from us. I was told that she was peeing everywhere in the house, but they still took care of her lovingly. Sandra and her family is dog friendly and I appreciate her flexibility in dropping off and picking up.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. From cats, to smaller dogs, to large golden doodles, I’ve had the pleasure of watching a variety of animals. I’ve watched animals overnight while administering medicine, so I have experience with both boarding and taking care of the animal’s health. That includes senior animals that need extra love in diapers or extra medicine. I also am pursuing an animals degree, so I understand the basic functions of animals. I work part time 3 days a week, but go home every two hours so I would be able to regularly check on your animal. The rest of my week is free and I would dedicate plenty of time to your pet. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door that can be opened or closed. This allows animals to either have unlimited access to the outside or controlled access depending on the animal and owner’s preference. I have no resident animals in the house so your pet will receive all my attention! Two other adults in the house to give extra love!
“Charlie has never stayed at a rover house before and he is 10 years old and very high maintenance. He had the best time at Achara’s house and we are so grateful to have found a place for him to stay. Her dogs are very friendly and gave Charlie his space to feel comfortable. He will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have several years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

Cat caregivers near you - Allendale
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I grew up with a cat named Domino and I helped take care of him for 14 years of my life. I then have helped take care of cats belonging to family and friends! I’ve taken care of house cats, outdoor cats, and even larger cats like Savannah cats.
About: While I've not cared for a cat of my own, I've had years of experience caring for friends' and neighbors' cats before providing cat care services on Rover. I always let the cat dictate the level of engagement--if he or she wants to play or cuddle, I love to dole out pets and playtime, but I also respect when cats want less interaction.
“Virginia took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with her and sending photos. I knew our cat was in good hands which gave us peace of mind. Virginia is very conscientious and thoughtful, and I highly recommend her.”
“Yuri was absolutely amazing! She answered my last minute request, and she was super polite and professional. She welcomed my cat into her home as if she was hers. Would totally book with her again!!”
About: I've grown up with cats as pets and have always loved getting to know their different personalities. I've also cat sat for friends and family over the years, and I treat every kitty like they're my own. One experience that's especially close to my heart was fostering a tiny kitten who was found outside with fading kitten syndrome. He needed lots of patience, gentle care, attention, and watching him grow stronger was incredibly rewarding.
“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”
About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!
“Ashley was great with our older cat Cleo. I could tell from our meet and greet that Ashley would be good, as Cleo (who doesn’t typically like people) responded well to Ashley right away. Ashley showed up as scheduled every day to spend time with Cleo, sent pictures, and communicated quickly with us. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”
About: I have had cats my whole entire life! They’re my favorite animal!!! Growing up a lot of the responsibilities of taking care of them were put on me (since I was the one who begged for them haha!!) in the many years since we got them I have groomed my cats regularly, clipping their nails, kept multiple litter boxes very clean, administering medication when my fur babies were sick, learned how to mitigate breakfast/dinner time with kitties who were more territorial about their food, and most importantly, playing with them!!
“Valerie is amazing! I had never needed to hire anyone to look after my dog before, so I had a bit of anxiety about leaving him, but Valerie soon put me at ease. Norman looked forward to Valerie’s visits every day, and it was clear that she not only has plenty of experience but also is incredibly compassionate. My dog is older, and she was great about giving him the right amount of activity and attention based on his behavior each day. I’ll be recommending Valerie to everyone I know.”
About: I've always had a soft spot for cats and appreciate that they're all a little different. Some want to play and chat, while others prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. I understand how important routine is for cats, so I'll carefully follow your feeding schedule, keep litter boxes clean, spend time playing or cuddling (if they want it!), and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your feline friend is happy and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for cats of all personalities. I’m here to offer more than just feeding and litter box checks. I make time for play, affection, and companionship during every visit. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I create a safe, stress-free environment tailored to their comfort and routine.
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities and needs. I’ve had cats since I was 7 years old and grew up helping care for my neighbors’ cats, so I’m very comfortable with feline behavior, routines, and building trust with even the more independent or shy kitties. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, and I adopted one of my own cats from there. I also grew up with dogs, including a Doberman and an English Bulldog, and today I have two Dobermans of my own. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy breeds and those that need a little extra patience and care. I’m also familiar with managing special needs, including caring for cats with megacolon and those who have special dietary restrictions. I’m attentive to health considerations and comfortable following specific care routines when needed. Whether your pet loves playtime, structure, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jahquan was a great sitter for our two dogs. We had him do multiple check ins during our few days away and throughout that time he was very nice and had great communication. I would definitely use him again in the future!”
About: Grew up in an environment surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals.

I am completely free on Mondays. I work from home Wednesday and Friday, and am available after 430pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as on all day weekends.

I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I prioritize safety, maintain a clean environment, ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and attention, and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Allendale
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Giezell watched Chloe while we attended wedding events for our son on two separate days. Getting videos and pics showing how well Chloe was doing was such a relief since we had never left her before. Giezell was very accommodating when we had to ask if Chloe could be picked up a little later than expected. We will definitely be asking Giezell to watch our sweet girl again!”
“Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!”
“Abbey got to go for a ride, take a walk, and got the house all to herself! Although she tolerates other dogs, she enjoys being the one and only! Thank you Jason for caring for and watching over our girl.♥️”
“Brittany was great. She responds to communication quickly, was very accomodating and took good care of Vinny who trotted off happily with her. She sent a picture and a reassuring message early in the visit. Highly recommend her.”
“Shanna and her husband were absolutely amazing. We came from Oregon and they were very accommodating for our boy dodger. Also I loved that even if they have multiple dogs they keep them separated between her and her husband so that was amazing because you never know with dogs and different personalities. If we ever return here we will def be booking with her again. Also her house is great for the dogs. She has a big fenced area in the back for dogs to sniff around and get used to the new area. 10/10.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.
“Everything went really well, once for the meet & greet, and again for the stay. Elliot was very calm and comfortable when approaching Mazi and introducing his fur-babies. When I got her back from the stay, she was tired (which to me speaks to an active day, which I really appreciate after mine). Definitely would use again if he'd have me.”
About: Besides caring for my own dog for nearly 13 years, including nearly a year of hospice care, I also have experience volunteering at animal sanctuaries and cat-sitting for roommates and neighbors. I consider companion animals to be family members, and the care I provide reflects that belief. I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m easily able to accommodate anything an animal in my care needs. I can provide multiple walks, feedings, and potty breaks a day, whether at your house or mine. Because I work remotely, I’m able to keep your dog or cat company all day. I have a fenced backyard, though it’s small, and I live near a dog park. I have a small crate and a larger soft-sided kennel that can be used if that’s something that makes your dog feel more comfortable; otherwise, pets are free to roam and are welcomed on furniture. I have steps to help smaller or senior dogs get on the couch, and there’s a dog bed in every room of my house. I only board for one client at a time, so your dog(s) will have my full attention while you're away, and you'll never have to worry about interactions with other pets. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I'm also privately insured as a pet-sitter through PCI, so your pets are well-covered.
About: Love tiny fur babies, but I have sat for young and adult dogs for the past 6 years. I bring nearly 20 years of experience in fast-paced, people-centric industries — which means I’m calm under pressure, communicative, and deeply attuned to individual needs (human or furry). I treat every pet like they’re my own, prioritizing safety, comfort, and play. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering meds, and managing multi-pet households. I’m also great with shy or anxious pets — I take the time to build trust and follow your routines to the letter. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or enrichment activities, your pet gets personalized care and my full attention. Pet care is just part of our life. My partner and I live together, and he’s a huge dog lover — he had a German Shepherd for almost 11 years, so caring for animals is second nature to both of us. We keep a calm, pet-friendly home and love having furry company around. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, meds if needed — it’s all built into our day. Whether it’s your pup’s first visit or their tenth, they’ll get plenty of attention and affection from both of us. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in theirs, I keep things calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your routines closely — feeding, walks, meds, playtime — because I know how much pets thrive on familiarity. At my place, I make sure they have a comfy space to relax, access to fresh water, and all the love and attention they’re used to getting from you. I keep communication open with updates, photos, and little check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, your pet’s well-being is always the priority.
“Connie has taken care of my dog Moose on a weekly basis for over 2 years now and she has been amazing! Super reliable, excellent communication, and I always feel so reassured that my dog is in the best possible hands while I’m away. Moose can be anxious and standoffish with strangers but Connie and her family have been like his second family and he is always so excited to see them.”
“We had a great experience using Camille for day care with our beloved dog Gryffin. Camille provided day care for Gryffin for two 12 hour days while we were working. He came home happy and tired - exactly how you want your dog to be after a great day of care! Camille took the time to meet us and Gryffin the week prior to their time together - that was very much appreciated! She was very responsive to my texts and put my mind at ease that my fur baby was having a good day. Camille even let me know that my boy was having some digestive issues and gave him some pumpkin from her own supply to make him feel better. And when another dog she was caring for ate a hole in Gryffin’s supply bag, she gave us one of her bags and offered to reimburse us for the cost. Camille is responsible and dependable - and great with dogs!! We highly recommend Camille and would use her services again in the future.”
“My dog, Henry, and I just moved to town. The move has been somewhat a hard adjustment on Henry. I started daycare with Ricquel and she has been a godsend to Henry and I. She takes the time to go at Henry's pace making sure that he has his space to meet the other dogs at daycare and gives Henry attention with his favorite activities (fetch) and even gives him iced water because he gets hot easily! Furthermore, Riquel has been SO flexible with me and my schedule with my new job. She's a great communicator, flexible, patient and truly cares for Henry's wellbeing. Thank you, Riquel!”

Not working at the moment and want to spend time with my dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would treat your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.

“Andrew is the best! Brieze is always happy with tail wagging when I drop her off for daycare, and I am thrilled to know while I’m busy at work that she is getting amazing care, playtime with other dogs, and important socialization. 12/10 would recommend!”
“I needed someone last minute for daycare for my dog. Lilly was very responsive and was able to pick up my request no problem, and Astro seemed like he had a great day with her. Would definitely book again.”

“I had a great experience with Jackson walking my dog, Maggy. He was reliable, communicative, and sensitive to her needs—especially as a senior dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands during the day. I look forward to booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds and sizes, each with individual needs. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience from bottle feeding newborn kittens to giving medications to senior pets. My schedule is very flexible, offering pet parents with a variety of pet care support to meet their needs. I work with clients to provide a schedule that works for them. Having fur family members in my home already does not allow for me to provide in my home support. I provide my pet clients with detailed notes on their pet followed by pictures, putting pet owners at ease while away from their fur babe/babies.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets. Between my own pets and caring for friends’ cats and dogs, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life since I’ve always had animals at home. I love starting and ending the day with walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule, I can easily fit in feeding, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, making sure pets feel loved and cared for just like they would with their own family. In my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the routines they’re used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship so they feel at ease. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and exercise when needed, and I’m always careful to keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.
About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a child. Anytime my neighbors went out of town, they would ask me to take care of their dogs such as feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside. One of them was a K-9.

“Courtney came over to visit our dog a week prior to walking. She’s super friendly, reliable, communicative, and awesome, and we are so excited to have her back to walk him!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years. I also grew up in rural Oklahoma on a farm with many other animals, including dogs and cats. I love dogs and always worry when leaving my dog with anyone else. My philosophy is to treat someone else’s pet the way I would want my own pet to be treated and cared for. I will provide attention, pets, snuggles, walks playtime, and treats. Dogs are welcome to sleep next to me and my little dog and snuggle on the couch with us. I work full-time at an 8 to 5 type of job. Two days per week I go into the office for part of the day. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from home on different days when needed.

About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!
“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I don’t think there was a year in my life where I did not have a dog to help take care of! I have taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and big dogs! We also had a lot of other animals while I was growing up. I’ve taken care of birds, fish, reptiles, and even rabbits. So I am happy to take care of other pets as well if you have them and we can talk prices! Depending on the needs of your pets, I will form my schedule around taking care of them! As of right now this is my main job but as soon as I find another job this will become something I do on the side for a passion hobby. I will always start by asking the owner of the pets to explain their needs and wants before implying anything that I would do on my own. (Customer needs and wants come first) I have fun playing with the animals dogs and cats alike. So if they have favorite toys if I am house sitting then I will let them have fun with that! If I am walking dogs I tend to keep a steady pace so that the dogs get good healthy exercise.

“Always on time. Great with my dog. Super polite. If he notices anything different with my dog he brings it up. I strongly encourage him to walk your dog. I’m picky and I only use people I feel comfortable and confident with. Your furry pets will love him . He’s a 5 star dog walker”
About: I worked as a behavioral tech for over a year where I learned all about behavioral training. I’ve had great success with my own dog at home. We have almost always had a dog in my house and know how important of a family member they are. I dog sit for several families when they go on vacation and have been doing this for about a year or so. My background is with children and have a lot of patience and love as a result! I am available full time as of right now. If this changes, I will update my availability ASAP. I wouldn’t be away from the home for very long most of the time. Any occasion where I would be away from the home for a significant amount of time, I would first make sure that the dog was completely cared for (fed, watered, pottied, and played with) before leaving. I will not be providing care in my own home. However, I do know of a dog park in the area as well as public parks for walks.

“Randi is amazing! I was SO nervous in the beginning, because I have a high energy 1 year old pup who has “only pup syndrome”… but Randi alleviated me of all my stress and anxiety. She sent me pictures and updates and I felt so at ease. My Rocky had a wonderful time, he was loved on and cuddled! Randi really took great care of our boy. I’m so grateful for her loving and compassionate care! Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Lupe was great! Great communication, sent pictures and videos, and kept me updated. She has plenty of space for Kona to run around and play. She even had her own room! Would definitely use her again!”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“John was absolutely fantastic! He took exceptional care of our two German Shepherds while we were away and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands—we will gladly book with him again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. From cats, to smaller dogs, to large golden doodles, I’ve had the pleasure of watching a variety of animals. I’ve watched animals overnight while administering medicine, so I have experience with both boarding and taking care of the animal’s health. That includes senior animals that need extra love in diapers or extra medicine. I also am pursuing an animals degree, so I understand the basic functions of animals. I work part time 3 days a week, but go home every two hours so I would be able to regularly check on your animal. The rest of my week is free and I would dedicate plenty of time to your pet. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door that can be opened or closed. This allows animals to either have unlimited access to the outside or controlled access depending on the animal and owner’s preference. I have no resident animals in the house so your pet will receive all my attention! Two other adults in the house to give extra love!
“Charlie has never stayed at a rover house before and he is 10 years old and very high maintenance. He had the best time at Achara’s house and we are so grateful to have found a place for him to stay. Her dogs are very friendly and gave Charlie his space to feel comfortable. He will definitely be back!”

“Valerie was an amazing Dog sitter Bailey absolutely loved it there. Valerie text us throughout every day sent pictures. Definitely will be using her for all our future bookings.”
“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”
“Jessie was wonderful to work with! She happily met Maisey and me for a meet and greet before I booked. She took care of my shy, scared rescue puppy for the first time she had been away from me. Jessie rose to the challenges my girl presented. She sent photo updates and responded to my nervous dog mom messages. I absolutely trust Jessie and it gave me comfort to know Maisey was with her and well taken care of while I was far away!”
“Jason was able to take my 120lb lap puppy last minute (like 3 hours last minute) when another provider cancelled last minute. He was super friendly and welcoming and sent pictures every day while we were gone. Our baby came home happy and worn out from all the fun he had. Would definitely use again!”
“Adrienne and her pups were so great with our Nemo and we appreciated her watching him on a short notice. He was able to play all day and came home to us the next morning happy. Thank you!”
“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”
“Annie is really sweet. Took good care of my big fur baby who was very anxious and it was his first time staying away from home but it turned out great! Thanks Annie!”
“Camille was great! She was very responsive and flexible with our schedule for drop off and pick up. I got check-ins throughout the week and updates to let us know how our boys were doing which we really appreciated. She also had good communication, letting us know if she had questions about their behavior. Thank you for taking good care of them!”
“We had our two dogs with them for almost a week and everything was perfect. Drop off and pick-up was a breeze. We got regular pictures and updates. We will definitely bring our pups back!”
