“No wonder Wen has a five star rating. She is amazing with providing updates. Communication letting me know how Aldo is doing throughout the day. I really appreciated the pictures that she sent me when they went on their walks! She’s absolutely incredible. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Annie was the best caregiver for our dog Brandy! We highly recommend her. She pays great attention to detail and care to make sure your pup has the best experience. She anticipated needs for our dog, even going as far as getting a canopy for her backyard when she knew the weather forecast showed extensive rain. She gave us frequent updates (including beautiful photos-she is an excellent photographer!) Our dog loved Annie and her husband; I could tell by the photos of her curled up and getting lots and lots of belly rubs🥰. She was a calm happy pup when we picked her up and I know that is because of Annie’s great care💕”
“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Second time mozzie stayed with her and couldn’t be happier! Mozzie gets extremely timid and stays in the carrier for the first day but Xiaoying is incredibly patient with her always checking in. They’re basically besties now! 😻”
“SaeWon was incredible and the whole experience was smooth and easy. She was able to accommodate on short notice after our initial sitter plans fell through, and I was super grateful for that. Initially I was worried about Soleil staying with other dogs, but to our surprise, she got along great with the other dogs and it seems like she had a great time. She also sent us pictures and videos of them on walks and it was the cutest thing. I will definitely let her watch my dog in the future and would highly recommend it to others, it was fantastic.”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“Moose had a great time with Wendy! She took full advantage of the big backyard and the chance to play with Stevie! I also appreciated the frequent updates via pictures and videos. One of our best experiences on Rover!”
“An amazing experience! I have a Siberian Husky who is an escape artist, unspayed, and not so people/dog friendly. I’m so glad to have found someone who could accommodate. Great communication and my dog felt comfortable from the beginning. Highly recommend Thank you! 🙌🏻🙏”
“Saeedeh is second mommy to my Shi tzu, Taddy. Taddy is so attached to me, and has detach anxiety. He gets anxious and scared if we leave him somewhere even with his dr. He stayed with Saeede for entire week, when we were away and he was so happy when we picked him up. Saeedeh even took him for a visit with my mom so he feels safe. He was loved and being taking care of. I absolutely recommend Saeedeh to all my friends and family. Now I am relieved that Taddy has a second home, when needed.”
“I highly recommend Muskaan! Sully was acting off on the day I brought him to her and she was very reassuring. She sent me plenty of daily updates with pictures and videos so that I knew Sully was doing well. He was walked twice a day and got lots of love. It was a great experience.”
“Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!”
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“Varda is excellent with dogs! She took amazing care of Joey, and he gets very excited when he sees her now. She is extremely knowledgeable, and she always has very useful and great tips.”
“Our girl had a wonderful time while we were gone. This was evident by the daily reports, videos, and pictures. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ray (William) again for our future trips. It’s so fantastic to have peace of mind when we leave our fur baby.”
“Teddy had his first long stay with Gina and Daniel, and I’m so pleased to have them watch our little guy. Thank you for the pictures, videos, and always giving him so much love! It is so nice to know Teddy is in great hands and that they treat him like one of their own.”
“Neha provided a safe and caring environment for Nikka's first stay. She is caring and understanding to nature of dogs. She was exceptional in communications and keeping me up to date of Nikka during his stay. She was attentative and accommodating with Nikkas food as we had to adjust slightly during his stay. We appreciate all the accommodations she took. Neha has a sweet loving slightly shy dog called Hatchi who was happy to share his space with Nikka. They loved playing in the backyard with plenty of space to run around freely. We look forward to using Neha again in the future.”
“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”

“This was the first time using a pet sitter, so I was probably annoying with all of my concerns and questions. But, Michele was so patient and understanding. She sent me photos daily of my 2 cats. I could tell from the photos and how they acted when I returned home that they felt very comfortable with her. It was such a relief to know Michele was here to take care of them. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Kristi was fantastic and left us at ease being away for a long weekend, especially when one of our kitties was shy and she went searching for them and sent pictures to reassure us. She met with us before and took detailed notes and all kitties were happy when we returned! Highly recommend and will use Kristi again :)”
“We appreciate your professionalism and reliability. You were always punctual and followed the instructions we provided diligently. Your communication skills were excellent, and we never had to worry about a thing while we were away.”
“Zhenni was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly communicative and kept us well-informed about our sweetheart cat. She gave our cat all the attention and care it needed, and even sent us the most adorable pictures!”

About: Hello, my name is Kat! 💕 I’m a cat-focused caregiver with an extensive fostering background. I don't use ChatGPT or AI with my profile or my clients. The quality of care I can give starts here, my entire profile is written by hand, by me and I take great importance in showing the attention to detail that will be reflected to the care that I can offer your kitty. I have experience working with all types of cat personalities ranging from easy going house cats, to ferals, medical cases, and special-needs kitties! I've lived with cats all my life and after losing my first cat to cancer, I ended up with a passion caring for other kitties in various foster and rescue programs. I just moved to SoCal from AZ and am looking for a way to care for kitties once again like I did in my old neighborhood! I have a colorful background with feline care that includes fostering, rehabilitating ferals, and caring for seniors and/or medically complex cats. I'm very comfortable reading kitty body language and adapting my care strategy to fit to the individual cat since they are all very unique with personalities of their own c: I can manage both feeding and medication schedules and have experience with cats with varying medical needs. I also have some experience grooming (deep brush outs, mat removal, nail trimming, sanitary trims, and waterless shampoo if requested) They can be shy, anxious, or spicy kitties and I'll provide the best care I can which varies between giving them space or providing more hands-on attention. If your cat needs someone calm, patient, and experienced I have you covered :)
“Amanda was very professional and reliable. She dropped in to my house daily to visit with my cat and provided me with daily updates. I will certainly reach out to her again. And recommend her for others needing a pet sitter.”
About: I truly treat every dog like family — I even call my friends’ and clients’ pups my “nieces and nephews.” Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, shibas, and shih tzus, each with their own unique personalities and needs. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping shy or anxious dogs feel more confident. With patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pups who need a little extra love and reassurance. I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and adored. Whether it’s giving treats, playing in the park, keeping them engaged with fun activities, or tucking them in for the coziest nap — I make their time with me feel like a home-away-from-home. We’re able to provide 24/7 care, which is something we’re really proud of. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even on the days I go into the office, I always come home at lunch to check in. My fiancé works from home full-time, so there’s always someone here to give your pup attention, comfort, and company. Caring for pets is a natural, happy part of our everyday life. I always stay close to the pets I’m caring for so I can quickly respond to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay attention to their body language, and if a pet seems unsure or unhappy, I take the time to understand what they need and help them feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all house rules and routines exactly as instructed. I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s normal schedule, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.
About: Dogs are my favorite thing in the world! Dogs are part of the family and deserve to be treat as such. I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and comfortable. I’ve been dog sitting for about 10 years now and have a lot of experience training, walking, and raising dogs. I can be active with your pup or just lay around and give belly rubs. I understand that in order to have a happy, healthy pup everything from what they are eating to where they sleep is important. I’m very familiar with and have done extensive research on dog nutrition and how to interpret and act on dog behaviors so you know I’ll be prepared to care for your dog. Whatever your dog needs, I will be happy to do!
“Helen went above and beyond taking care of my cat Mochi, from bringing some of my packages from the front door in, washing the cat fountain, cleaning the litter, and playing with him of course! So happy and thankful for her!”
About: We have 2 cats, sisters from the same litter, who will be 15 this June. We also frequently care for our friend’s 2 cats as well! Lots of pets and treats, and meticulous cleaning with litter and feeding/watering dishes.
About: For five years, I’ve provided dedicated care for friends’ dogs and cats, handling feeding, exercise, and playtime to ensure every pet feels safe and loved. Since I work part-time and is a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I can make sure your pet doesn’t lose their routine you’ve established. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their existing routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Photo & text updates, light house work(bringing in mail/ watering plants), routine maintenance(feeding/walking/sleeping schedule will be maintained)

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid! I love meeting new animals and caring for them. My experience ranges from boarding animals for 7 days, to doing stop-by visits multiple times per day. I not only love animals but I love giving families the peace of mind that their animal is in good hands. I’m a very caring mother and pet owner who is diligent and flexible. Having pets of my own my whole life, I’ve learned how to care for, engage and love all sorts of animals. I’m looking for families that need help either as a one-time getaway or on a regular basis! I’m happy to help. My goal in life is to have time and flexibility to be with my family, and caring for pets allows me that freedom! Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend.

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog.

Nichole replied to all my messages promptly and was accommodating when my pickup time changed. My dog seemed happy and tired when I picked her up, so seems like she had a fun day!”
“Oreo had a fun time @ Reinaldo's place. He was full time playing with his dogs. Oreo wanted to stay there for more time and didn't want to come back home. I am so happy that the stay worked out well so that we have a nice and safe place for Oreo when needed.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I currently have two senior pugs, ages 16 and 13, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that older dogs often require. Through my volunteer work with Pug Rescue of Korea, I have fostered more than 10 dogs, including senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog. I've also fostered five puppies and understand the extra supervision, structure, and positive reinforcement that young dogs need. One thing adopters and rescue coordinators consistently appreciate about me is my communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents always know how their dog is doing. An adopter once described me as "extraordinarily communicative" and said the updates helped make her dog's transition into its new home seamless. I treat every dog as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra attention and companionship, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. As a small business owner, I manage my own hours and have the availability to provide reliable walks and check-ins throughout the week. Dogs are already a big part of my daily life. I care for my two senior pugs and continue to volunteer and foster through rescue organizations for several years. I enjoy spending time with dogs, getting outside, and helping them stay active and happy. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday and look forward to getting to know your pet. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. As a dog owner, foster volunteer, and rescue volunteer, I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow each owner's instructions and pay close attention to leash safety, hydration, and each dog's comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog, so I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and walking paces. I also respect my clients' homes and strive to be dependable, professional, and attentive. I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“The Doodles and I really enjoyed our time with Vy. I walked with her the first time as the feeding and walking can be complicated. And Charlie is a puppy and can be a challenge. Looking forward to the next dog walking session.”

“Thanks again for walking our fur baby! Michele is the best dog walker and takes the best care of our Lucy. We always appreciate all the photos Michele takes during their walks together!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I have two puppers of my own - Charlie, a chihuahua terrier mix and a rescue, Maggie. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I now have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be available for consistent walks throughout the week. Weekday mornings & afternoons work best for me. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs on a leash, unless instructed otherwise, stay aware of my surroundings and avoid unsafe situations. I also make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and make sure the pets are comfortable.
“Emely was great with walking my dog. She made sure to let me know when she started the walk and sent me pictures along his walk! Would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again!”
“Bradey was professional and kind. She followed all instructions and asked questions for anything that wasn't clear. We loved having her take care of our pup and hope to use her again soon!”

About: I love animals very much and I’ve had various pets ever since I was little. I genuinely love to care for each pet I meet and am always attentive to whatever they need. I’ve also dogsat and catsat for pet owners, neighbors, friends, and family before. Im excited to walk dogs because that means im keeping dogs healthy as well as myself! I’m a part time college student but I take my classes online, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your lovely pets! I am free each day of the week and weekends. When I’m in a client’s home I always make sure I follow every instruction and am very respectful of their expectations and pet’s unique needs.
About: My spouse Cathy and I have 2 cats, who will be celebrating their 15th birthday with us this summer! I have plenty of dog experience too- I grew up with at least one dog in the house at all times, and with 17 years as a nanny I also cared for their cats and dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule as a local small business owner, and both Cathy and I love any extra pet time we can get! I am local small business owner, and have a flexible schedule. I am up early most days (4am) so early feedings would t be a problem! I always greet the pets first, and proceed according to order of priority instructions from pet owners. (Walk, give treats, feed, check water, clean litter, etc)
About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was a little girl and have always treated them with the love and respect that they deserve. I’ve raised a puppy of my own during COVID which was humbling but extremely rewarding as he is truly the best boy and now my best friend. I’ve been around dogs of all ages all my life and understand that each dog is different, each with their own personality, just like us humans. I have the patience it takes to understand dogs and know that it’s not always easy for them to express themselves, body language being a huge thing I look at. Owning an orange tabbycat of my own, I also have experience with understanding a cat’s needs and although they can be more skiddish, they seek and deserve just as much care and attention. I hope I have the opportunity to help you to take care of your pet in whatever way I can, and trust that they are under my safe and full supervision. I’m currently working full time but am available and eager to help you with your pets on afternoons, nights and weekends. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I’m happy to help. I live in Lake Forest and work full time in Mission Viejo, so I am willing to go anywhere in the South OC area to care for your fur babies! I have a small dog and cat of my own at home, so I can understand how much caution goes into owning and taking care of a pet. My priority is making pets feel comfortable and safe in a place where they can both have fun and relax, because we all deserve to feel that peace at home. As a pet parent, I always check that risky items are stored away so that there’s less room for error, that there’s always access to food and water (unless instructed otherwise of course!) and that fun toys are in reach!
About: I’m an energetic, fun loving kind of girl. Love to be outdoors, walking/jogging with your dog is my jam! Responsible and reliable. I’ve owned dogs growing up and have dog sat for friends and family members often. Current living situations prevents me from owning a fur pup of my own, so getting to spend time with yours would warm my heart and they would be an extension of my family! I am available on weekends and week day evenings. I do work Monday through Friday at a 9-5. Weekends I am free morning , noon, or evening for walks/feeding/cuddles, or even house/dog sitting as well. I am flexible with schedules and reliable. Your fur baby is in good hands with me, and would get all the cuddles! I do work remote M - F. I do have a two year old that is good with animals. She may have to tag along at times when not in school. I have two black kitties, they roam free in the house and both indoor. I gotta keep them safe! I cannot offer any type of boarding at my house unfortunately.
About: With 20+ years of dog ownership, I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I create a calm, structured environment where your pet will feel at home. I work full-time Monday–Friday, but I’m remote on Fridays, which makes drop-offs easy that day. I’m available for care Friday through Sunday, with flexible pickup anytime Sunday. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all dogs feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog for companionship if your pup enjoys other dogs.
About: Hi! My name is Scarlett, and I’m a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I previously had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your furry family members. I’ve also helped friends and family with both dog sitting and cat sitting over the years. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, friendly, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, love, and companionship. I’d be happy to send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is in good hands! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, spending time playing with them, and making sure they get enough attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available for walks and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends.

“If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the utmost care and who you can trust completely, look no further than Rich. I booked with him to walk my dog, who is extremely fearful and cautious with strangers. Rich was so patient with him and really took the time to win Wesley over. By the second walk, Wesley was trotting around with him and smiling. Thank you, Rich!”

“No wonder Wen has a five star rating. She is amazing with providing updates. Communication letting me know how Aldo is doing throughout the day. I really appreciated the pictures that she sent me when they went on their walks! She’s absolutely incredible. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Moose had a great time with Wendy! She took full advantage of the big backyard and the chance to play with Stevie! I also appreciated the frequent updates via pictures and videos. One of our best experiences on Rover!”
“An amazing experience! I have a Siberian Husky who is an escape artist, unspayed, and not so people/dog friendly. I’m so glad to have found someone who could accommodate. Great communication and my dog felt comfortable from the beginning. Highly recommend Thank you! 🙌🏻🙏”
“Saeedeh is second mommy to my Shi tzu, Taddy. Taddy is so attached to me, and has detach anxiety. He gets anxious and scared if we leave him somewhere even with his dr. He stayed with Saeede for entire week, when we were away and he was so happy when we picked him up. Saeedeh even took him for a visit with my mom so he feels safe. He was loved and being taking care of. I absolutely recommend Saeedeh to all my friends and family. Now I am relieved that Taddy has a second home, when needed.”
“Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!”
“Our girl had a wonderful time while we were gone. This was evident by the daily reports, videos, and pictures. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ray (William) again for our future trips. It’s so fantastic to have peace of mind when we leave our fur baby.”
“Teddy had his first long stay with Gina and Daniel, and I’m so pleased to have them watch our little guy. Thank you for the pictures, videos, and always giving him so much love! It is so nice to know Teddy is in great hands and that they treat him like one of their own.”
“Tina took excellent care of our two Frenchie puppies. This was our first timing leaving them both for a longer away, but they both clearly loved their 5 night stay and Tina and her family. Tina updated us multiple times daily on their activities and care. One of our puppies needed 2 medications and special care and Tina did it all and kept us informed on his progress. Both puppies loved Tina’s girls. She really did trest them like part of her family, we are so grateful. Thanks Tina!”
“My fiance and I were so grateful to have found Ellie to watch Toby! Toby is a Doberman, and he's a bigger size for his breed. As a fellow Rover host, it pained me to be rejected by multiple hosts when they stereotyped the breed but not Ellie. She responded very quickly to the meet-and-greet, and Bella was such a sweet and calm girl. Ryder was unique in his own way, just as another mini schnauzer that I take care of. These pups are the perfect combination for Toby. Ellie handled Toby's anxiety very well on the first day, and Toby was completely chilling starting on day 2. Ellie sent countless photos and videos and gave us peace of mind during our hectic trip. Toby got to play fetch in the front, hang out in the backyard, sunbathe and get cozy with others inside the house. Her backyard is double-fenced/gated on all sides, and her house is in a very safe neighborhood. Toby had the best vacation!”
“Simply the best. Couldn’t have asked for a more warm, fun, and communicative Rover. Temi had no issues with administering Louie’s medication and did everything to make him feel right at home. She’s a gem and we cannot wait to use her again in the near future! Zero hesitation.”
“2nd stay for the pup w/ Allison, and it was even better than the last! She sent consistent photos & updates - we were surprised (& happy) to hear that Zen also got along w/ her cat, Kenya! ☺️ Allison will definitely be a go-to sitter in the future!”
“Megan did a terrific job keeping me constantly informed and sending pictures. I think Buddy had a better time being with her and her dog than he has with boring old me. I would definitely recommend Meghan to anyone.”
