“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Diana’s care. This is the first time I left my dog overnight with someone and I have had my dog nine years. Now I can go places that don’t accept dogs and I feel comfortable leaving him behind.”
“Honestly, from the moment we met during the consultation we were immediately at ease. My pup had plenty of love while we were gone ( 13 days) and was actually sad when she came home - we think from missing Agueda! We couldn’t be happier with the care she received and if you are hesitating to book, don’t! She is great!”
“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”
“Cristina was the best sitter I have had for Valentina! She was extremely communicative and made me feel that Valentina was safe throughout her whole stay. I had several delays to my trip and Cristina was super flexible, allowing Valentina to stay longer than expected. We appreciated this so much. Book with Cristina, she is awesome!”
“Very friendly and great communication. Provided pics of my puppy as happy as can be at the park. Provided information about my puppies stay overnight; what she ate, how she slept, and if she would most likely need to potty soon. Will for sure use her services again. Thank you.”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“Hi awesome Claudia & Cris! Your dogs are just so.. adorable!!🥰😊 Thanks so much for being there at such very short notice. Your sharing videos of Joby plainly sees he is having a wonderful time. We could see him smiling all around. Yessssss! I totally would recommend Claudia & Cris to care for your fur baby. We are one happy customer and will most definitely be back for future times ahead.😁😂😂”
About: Hi! My name is Kyle. I’m a dedicated dog lover who enjoys providing plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every dog feels right at home. What sets me apart? I’m part of a dog loving household with a built in furry supervisor our Yorkie, Zola! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 7 years old and have had the privilege of caring for my two Pitbulls back in the Philippines for 16 wonderful years, as well as my Siberian Husky for 10 amazing years before they passed away. They were more than pets they were family. They taught me the importance of patience, love, and providing care through every stage of a dog’s life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether they’re energetic puppies, playful adults, or sweet seniors, I make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away, like they’re enjoying a fun little vacation of their own. Please note: • Your dog must be current on flea prevention and vaccinations. • Please let me know if your dog has any health condition or illness that could be contagious to other pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life. I love staying active, so daily walks, playtime, and quality time with furry friends come naturally. I enjoy creating a routine where pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s a fun adventure outside, some extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where every dog is treated like family. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Holger and his wife were amazing! This is the first time away from our pup and they made me feel so comfortable. I received pictures daily and did not have to worry about Kali. Thank you!! 5 STARS!”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my two pups, especially after a very last minute request when my other sitter fell through. She was an excellent communicator, made pick up and drop off easy, and sent me pictures throughout her time with the pups.”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“Caring for geriatric dogs is never easy, and Lisa along with her son did a nice job over the recent holiday weekend. Although my Snuggles is a sweet pup, she doesn’t always go by the script - and Lisa did a nice job adapting. Snuggles sometimes resists taking her medication and is a bit of a loner, and when in the presence of other dogs and not in her familiar surroundings she becomes anxious and develops the shakes. I think what impressed me most was Lisa’s genuine concern for Snuggles’ care. We remained in constant contact each day with pictures of my little girl. It took a few days but Snuggles seems to have recovered. So while I wouldn’t be able to utilize Lisa’s services in her home again because of her other pet, I would definitely call on Lisa to stay with Snuggles in our home. You can be sure your pet is safe with Lisa and Logan.”
“Monique was wonderful with caring for our English bulldog who needed a lot of attention. She did far & beyond our expectations. This is our first experience leaving our dog with someone else & she made us comfortable & confident. Regular communication & updates & pictures helped a lot. We will definitely use her again!”
“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”

About: Cats are my chosen family. My whole life I’ve been surrounded by them and I enjoy getting to understand each and every one of them. I enjoy being cuddled with and ignored by them. I really just love their individualism and all the quirks each kitty has. I have experience with all ages and large families 🐱
“Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book her again.”
“Cynthia was amazing and looked after our cats with care. She was able to do drop ins with ease and even spent time playing with them and giving them some love. Cynthia goes above and beyond what is asked of her and truly cares about animals and giving peace of mind to pet owners. She sent photos and daily updates and cleaned up after them. Highly recommend!

“the most understanding + patient dog sitter we’ve ever encountered. she’s very careful + treats our puppy as though he belongs to her. not only does she go above + beyond with her service, but also goes above + beyond with her attention to detail when it comes to her reports while he’s under her care.”
“Elizabeth was great with PoPanda. She took excellent care of my bunny and was very patient with her. This was my longest trip away from my pet so I was very worried but Elizabeth made the entire experience pleasant. I knew PoPanda was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend and would hire Elizabeth again.”
“My Budgies (Bruce and Ru) just love visits from Marie when I’m away from home. I’m so happy that she’s willing to take the time to “hang out” with them and she always updates me with videos and pics. She’s the best and Bruce and Ru totally agree!”

About: Cats have held a special place in my heart for the past 12 years, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. My wife and I recently said goodbye to our beloved senior cat after many wonderful years together. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, compassion, and attentive care, especially as pets grow older. In addition to caring for our own cat, we’ve welcomed foster cats into our home for weeks at a time, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they waited for their forever families. I’ve also cared for the cats of family and friends, making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime if they want it, and plenty of affection on their own terms. If medication is part of your cat’s routine, I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll be your cat’s primary caregiver and will provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your feline family member is doing. My wife is also a wonderful animal lover who enjoys giving cats extra affection and attention, creating a warm and welcoming home environment.

Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or simply enjoys a peaceful nap, we’ll do everything we can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: I've loved and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm naturally curious about them and believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade. Your pup will be able to play inside and out, and will find it hard not to get along with my 8 year old Labradoodle, Maui.

“I loved Melinda, I don't trust anybody with my dog he is the closest thing I have to a child and she treated him as such. Normally people are scared of pit bulls but she welcomed him with open arms. I'd recommend her to any and everyone. Nice house, she walks them, takes pics, let you bring your own food and toys and does meet and greets and will tell you honestly, if she cannot watch your dog. Me and benny both give 4 thumbs up!”

About: My two dogs are husky/malamute mixed who love having company. They are pretty chill, but can be energetic and playful with dogs of literally all sizes and personalities. I’m a real estate agent and work from home, but wake up very early! We cannot do pickups after 7p so anything late needs to be scheduled next day unless confirmed prior to booking. My husband is also home most of the time. I don’t leave my own dog home for more than 4 hours (ever) by himself but also have a doggie door (when I’m home only), and a large home with hard floors for the pups to roam. I have a fenced yard but keep my dog inside when I’m not at home. I’ve got a doggie cam and check in (and talk) to my dog frequently if I have to be gone!
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time.

My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.

“Jazmin is a sweetheart and was on-time to pick up and drop off. My fur babies were happy and she communicated throughout the stay. Will definitely book with Jazmin again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had dogs around me. When I was a teen, I started dog sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. This is something my dad and I would do together. As an adult, I am my friends’ and family’s go to person when it comes to help them with their pets. They will always call me when they go on vacations and need help. I am looking forward to expand my network of people I can help 🙂. Bonus is my own sweet little lady, Olive, who loves all dogs! She would be so happy to have new friends! I work from home. I am always home, and only go in and out to get my son from school. I aim for 3-4 walks per day with my dog. I keep dogs on the leash at all time when we are outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can be outside and lay in the sun, and can’t escape. They also have access to water and food as required by the owner. My dog Olive is super friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She is around 15 lbs.

About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
About: I love dogs! I have always had dogs. I help walk them, feed them(dry food, wet food, treats). I’ve also given medication for one of my dogs with food! I play with them, give them a lot of love and attention. When my pets were younger, we potty trained them and taught them different skills such as sit, lay down, etc. I am currently a sophomore in college. I have 1 class Monday-Thursday, so my schedule for the most part is pretty open. However, I can do anytime after 8:30 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Just let me know ahead of time what time works best for you on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In my home, I have a grass back yard with a fence from coyotes where my dogs play and lay down in the grass. My cats like to lay in the grass too. In the front yard, we have a gate so the dogs don’t run out. In the front yard is turf where the dogs can use the bathroom or play.
About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.
“Elizabeth was great! She was available on short notice to take care of my sweet Boop! He loved walking with her while we were away. I’d definitely book with her again if we’re away.”
“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Sunday with enough advance notice to plan around my schedule and personal responsibilities. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s care fits comfortably into both your schedule and mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any animals needs. I work Amazon Flex so I set my own hours and only do 1-2 hr shifts (sometimes multiple times a day). If I leave the house, I am gone for a max of 3-4 hrs or less depending on where I’m delivering to. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.
“Arantxa is always amazing with my Stevie. She’s always worn out and happy by the time she returns home and I can rely on Arantxa to keep my dog safe and happy. I love the little updates provided as well.”
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!
About: I’ve lived and cared for animals since I was young. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life! I had my dog for 15 beautiful years and went through all the ups and downs of a dog parent. I administered her medication and provided as many accommodations and love she needed. Currently, I have one medium haired cat who is shy but incredibly sweet and friendly. I’ve had him since he was a kitten and has adjusted to our own little routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave a furry friend behind, so I’m here to relieve any stress you may have and provide as much comfort and care to your loved one! I currently work part-time so I have a flexible schedule. I’m a grad student, so if I’m not at work or class, I’m usually home hanging out with my cat :) My cat is very low maintenance and is used to dogs but if you prefer for him to be separated from your furry friend I can definitely make sure they are in different rooms! My apartment is pet friendly and has a grass area right upfront as well as a fenced yard they can go out to!
About: I’m a longtime pet owner and genuinely enjoy being around animals.

I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable and happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m respectful of your home, dependable, and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Holger and his wife were amazing! This is the first time away from our pup and they made me feel so comfortable. I received pictures daily and did not have to worry about Kali. Thank you!! 5 STARS!”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my two pups, especially after a very last minute request when my other sitter fell through. She was an excellent communicator, made pick up and drop off easy, and sent me pictures throughout her time with the pups.”
“Monique was wonderful with caring for our English bulldog who needed a lot of attention. She did far & beyond our expectations. This is our first experience leaving our dog with someone else & she made us comfortable & confident. Regular communication & updates & pictures helped a lot. We will definitely use her again!”
“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Analisa was great! She was communicative throughout our trip. She sent us pictures and updates. She’s very sweet and took great care of our Nini. We definitely will be booking with Analisa in the future.”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Cerita is my go to dog and cat sitter. She treats all of my fur babies with so much love and makes them feel completely at home. I especially appreciate the extra care she gives my senior cat, she’s very attentive when it comes to giving him his insulin.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better care for our Dobermans. Plenty updated and photos, dogs has lots of activities and love from Monica and her husband. Highly recommended! 🥰”

“Diana took care of our girl Maya very well and she sent daily updates with pictures. Maya seemed very happy in her place as seen in the pictures. We would surely go back there and we highly recommend Diana to be a sitter.”
