“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”
“Wenchi was super sweet and provided me with updates and pictures of Cosmo during his stay with her! He was a very happy wiggly pup when I went to pick him up. Thank you!”
“My dog was very comfortable at Julissas house and I appreciated the updates throughout the day. I felt at ease leaving him there and will be booking with her again in the future! ?”
“Valerie is a caring and attentive pet sitter for our dog Cali. She gave Cali her medications on time and took her on daily walks. Valerie took great care of Cali, I really appreciated the daily pictures and prompt messages. I would definitely book Valerie to care for our pets.”
“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.”
“This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!”
“Valerie is a true gem! Along with having years of experience with dogs, she also has a great love for them! My dog Spirit had a great time at her ranch and even showed signs of attachment when I picked her up.🥰 I feel like Valerie and her ranch will be my dog’s second home from here on out!”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
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!
“We are happy with our experience. John sent pictures, and seemed happy to watch our dogs. Our fur children were also happy when we arrived for pickup. Our pups also don’t usually eat away from home so we were surprised that they ate with John. We will definitely rebook. Thank-you”
“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!”
“Marcela did a great job with Gabby! Gabby loved having a playmate Taco (Marcela's dog) and even whined when she came home for a bit because I think she was sad about leaving her playmate : ( Would definitely use Marcela again! Thank you!”
“This is the first time we have used Miya’s service. She has been super responsive and helpful, and took excellent care of chewie . Chewie looked very relaxed and happy with her. We will definitely use her service again.”
“We let Kathleen know that it was Clyde’s first bday and she sent us adorable pics with him and honey wearing birthday hats while having a small bday party! He was there for 10 days and Kathleen was super accommodating with last minute plans! Thanks again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I have had many dogs of my own over the years who I have cared for dearly. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your fur baby and send you updates throughout the stay, so you won’t have to worry about anything. I have plenty of time in my hands to be able to watch over your pets at all times. I’ll have enough time to be able to take them on walks around the neighborhood, and as well to play with them. Your pet will have my full time and love. I have a fenced yard that your pet is able to use to run around in or play. I as well have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and would love to play with your furry friend. If needed I could crate my own pets to guarantee the safety of your pet so it can enjoy its free roaming space without worrying.
“Randy and her family were amazing! She sent regular pictures and updates. It was hard leaving my dog with a sitter but Randy put my mind at ease with positive updates. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Friends and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, playtime, and snuggles. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m dependable, patient, and love giving every pet the same care I give my own. I’m a full-time student with open blocks throughout the day and weekends free, making it easy for me to fit in walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I care for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and loved. I stick to their usual routines, give lots of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they’re happy while you’re away.
“Michaelle did a great job checking in on my cat! She was super communicative, responded quickly to messages, and also sent plenty of pictures and videos during the visit! My cat looked very happy to hang out with her!”
About: Ived taken care and loved many dogs growing up I’m very experienced with dogs of any age, family and friends have replied on me to sit for their pets while away on trips At the moment I’m home all day morning and afternoon, once I’m back at work I will be mostly available afternoons and weekends but willing to make schedule changes I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio but will mostly be taking your fur baby out for walks and potty breaks, I currently do not have any other dogs or cats.
“Chelsea was amazing! She took very good care of our cat Mikey. We asked to take care of my cat 3 times so far while we were gone on vacation. Chelsea is very responsible and reliable😊”
About: From a young age, cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether it's interactive play or simply a cozy lap for cuddles, I make sure each cat gets the attention they deserve. I also send daily updates with photos and videos if requested, so owners can have a peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in capable and caring hands.
“Steven was very communicative and took excellent care of our cat. We really appreciate his giving us a call and adjusting his care routine when it seemed like our cat might need a slight change in diet. We won’t hesitate to book again!”
About: I have taken care of cats for almost all my life. My family has trusted me to take care of them, feed them, and play with them when they go on trips. I also clean their litter weekly and wash their food and water bowls everyday.
About: I grew up with pets most of my life, and attended dog training classes with my mom starting at a young age. I have had my own pets the last 13 years (dogs, cat and bunny). I have trained and titled one of my dogs in AKC Rally and Waterworks ( something specific to my dogs breed), she is also a grand champion. I would be willing to help train puppies, even though I am not a certified trainer. I can also assist in training to loose leash walk, crate training, etc. Willing to do limited bathing and grooming for an additional fee, to be determined upon request, detailed request needed. I have been grooming my Portuguese water dogs most of my adult life, I have had to maintain a show quality coat. I'm not a professional groomer, but I know my way around clippers and scissors. I was recently laid off, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available pretty much anytime currently, weekdays and weekends. I treat all animals in my care as my own, with respect and love, whether they need a play buddy or just someone to cuddle, I try to give them what they need
About: Although I currently do not have a dog of my own, I have had dogs in my family since I was 8 years old and have learned that they can have the best and funniest personalities and I love making a dog feel welcome anywhere and that they always know that somebody cares for them the way they care for their owner. I’ve been pet sitting for over 3 years and currently have a cat so i know how to take care of them as well in case you have both cats and dogs! I’m currently attending Woodland Community College and am a associates graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Since I only go to school and am trying to work remotely, I’ll have plenty of time for your pets and most if not all afternoons of the week can walk them. I constantly make sure my pets are okay with what they’re eating, drinking, how they act, if it’s unusual or usual and take a pet’s physical and mental health very seriously as I’ve had to put down many of my family’s own dogs in the past when they became ill and know the emotional toll it can be for the owners.
About: I keep up to date on tips and tricks for dog care! I used to work for Bark Magazine, as well as a pet sitting company based in Davis. I have experience dog sitting all sizes of dog (from Chihuahuas to Danes!) as well as cats! I have experience sitting pups training to become well-behaved and responsible dogs. (behavior, potty, etc.) Message me and we can make sure your fur family is well taken care of! I am working full-time at the moment, so I am available most days during/around midday. I am good to work around your schedule if you have work during the day as well! If the ground/cement it too hot for walks I'll try to get dogs to play or run around in whatever area is available (backyard/larger living space). I usually like to take them to parks, when the weather is nice. I’ve always taken care of pets, whether for my family, neighbors, or clients! I often like taking walks during lunch so walking or visiting pets during that time is very normal for me. I love to use what is available to me! If you have a small yard or a nice walkway near your home, I’ll make the most of it. Same goes for cats, a good toy basket or a nice place to find them is always helpful!
About: My name is Hannah and I am a lifelong cat lover. I had cat (s) growing up since I was old enough to remember, and I’ve always been smitten by their playful and curious nature. I have a 3 1/2 year-old male gray and white cat of my own that I rescued from an abandoned apartment. We enjoy going on lil walks around my complex and learning new tricks! Well, most pet sitting business is focused primarily on dogs, I feel it’s essential to give cats the same focus. I have had years of experience with all different kinds of cats and have even helped a family friends cat give birth twice.
About: I’ve always had family pets and have a dog of my own now. I will follow your pets schedule and always make sure they have water and get lots of love and care. I am home Friday-Sunday and can go home for lunch Wednesday and Thursday. And I can drop in frequently on days that I am available. I love my dog and she’s one of the family. I don’t want her to be alone long and would care for your pets like my own. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

“Valerie was amazing! We reached out just one day before we needed someone to watch our dog, Choco, and she was incredibly accommodating. She was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so much easier for us. Throughout Choco’s stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. We’re very grateful for the excellent care she gave Choco and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. We highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Kathleen was able to modify our two walks and turn it into a day stay so Coco wouldn’t be alone all day. Kathleen is reliable and conscientious. Coco took to her immediately & looks forward to her walks and rides around town (when it’s too hot to do anything else). Feel so fortunate to have someone like Kathleen take care of my Coco as if she were her own.”
“Ally was so sweet and we could tell she really wanted Opal to be comfortable. We got lots of updates which we appreciated and would absolutely have Ally watch Opal again when we’re in town next!”
“Jessie was great! She was able to do a last-minute daycare/meet-and-greet for my dog, which I really appreciated. It was nice to see how well he settled into her space, and the photo updates were much appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m planning to book with Jessie again!”
“Emily was great with Cosmo. She was understandable and accommodating to him. Great communication, which made me comfortable leaving Cosmo with her. Highly recommended. Would definitely book with her again in the future”
“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.”
“She was very patient and flexible with my ever changing plans due to weather and my commitments to be at a friend’s bday. I was not able to drop my dog off , but she was more willing to take my smaller dog in and cage him in a quiet room so he would feel safe. She also agreed to take him out for a walk. Due to the weather the same day we confirmed, but on the way cancelled and paid for the day care as this is her livelihood. We could have asked to cancel, but that is not what good pet parents do. They make sure people like Mrs. Achara are taken care of as well. I will use her in the future when we are in West Sacramento. Our dog is almost 15 and she was committed to taking care of him in the way we felt was best for him.”
“Minhhan was the best Rover person I could have asked for with my Frenchie! She is so responsible, diligent and loving with my pup! I will definitely use her again and again whenever I need her support for my pup!”
“Tresa is a lifesaver! Our two dogs love going over there. She is very flexible, a great communicator, and easy to work with. Sooo glad we found her for our deaf puppy and lab.”
“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”
“We had Shanna and her husband watch our yorkie for the day and it was great! She texted updates throughout the day and our dog came back very happy and it made it a stress free day for us humans!!”
“Sherry & her husband are adorable with the dogs. I will be using them when working on a regualr basis. They are very flexible with my odd work schedule & my pup gets excited when we pull up & goes right in.”
“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!”
“Giezell watched our toy poodle for a few hours and provided us with photos and videos throughout stay. We picked up our dog about 20 minutes late and she was very understanding and accommodating. We’ll definitely book Giezell again if we’re ever in the area!”

“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: Hi! My name is Faith Tupin and I am a substitute Paraeducator in the Davis school district. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sheep. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter off and on for a few years and was in 4-H for many years. I have experience with extremely large dogs to tea cup chihuahuas, three legged dogs, dogs needing end of life care (medication administration, pet inhalers), puppies who haven’t been house trained and even service animals. I was taught how to do CPR on dogs even though i’ve never had to put my skills to use. I am active and I love long walks. I am also very clean and will make sure your house looks great when I leave. I currently am working part time and am also able to make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible and take on additional responsibilities. I always talk to the owners to ensure that I am following their routine and keeping an eye out for any bad habits the dog may have- chewing on cords, digging by fences. I am aware of what food is toxic to dogs and never leave it out. I avoid other dogs on walks and look out for unknown food on the sidewalks that they may be tempted to eat.

About: I have multiple years experience working in dog boarding facilities, as well as small animal veterinary clinics. I have extensive knowledge of dog behavior and welfare, and am able to confidently care for many different types of personalities. I will start veterinary school in the fall, and plan to fit visits in around my class schedule. I commute from Esparto to Davis/Woodland daily and am easily able to make stops anywhere near this commute. I believe in keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and following given instructions as closely as possible. I operate under the principle that as a sitter, I should do everything (and more) for someone else’s pet that I would expect a sitter to do for my own pets.
About: I’ve taken care of six dogs before coming onto Rover. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, and taking care of dogs of different sizes. I work full-time as a closer at my current job, so I have free-time to be able to take care of animals anytime before 2pm most days. I can do 30 minute visits or longer — whatever you need for your fur baby. I graduated from UC Davis this year, so I’m trying to get hired in the environmental sector to start my career and begin a more typical work schedule. I have an apartment in Woodland where I spend time with my indoor cats. One of my cats is very friendly with people and other cats, but my other cat takes a while to get adjusted to people and other animals, so I only do visits at other people’s places. I treat client’s homes with care, and ensure I do not make any messes or overstep any boundaries.
About: I grew up around animals. I love having pets and have taken care of a lot of them growing up. I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fishes, chicks and more. I love spending time with all pets! Pet care is something I do everyday. In the mornings, I take my dogs out for a walk and then another walk free I get back from work. I clean out my cat’s litter weekly and clean their food and waters bowls everyday. When it comes to taking care of your pet, I have full availability this summer! I can work mornings, do drop-ins and house sits if needed. I have a large backyard that can be used for playtime and a large crate if needed. I also have different types of toys and treats for both cats and dogs. I have spare leashes if needed, and of course quality time with your fur babies! When walking your pets, I’ll make sure of having everything they need such as their leash, collar, shoes, and a small water bowl for hot days. If they go to the park, I’ll bring their toys and play with them until it’s time to go.
About: I have always loved animals. I’m patient, responsible, and comfortable with feeding, walks, and playtime. I’ll treat your pet like my own and follow your routine closely. I have open availability and am able to work around your schedule. I’m able to do multiple drop in visits with your pets. Whether it be the weekend or a weekday I would love to spend to spend some time with your animal(s). I go to the dog park almost every morning and have experience handling highly energetic dogs. If you’re looking to socialize your dog more I’d be happy to bring them along. If not I will always respect your preferences and keep your dog comfortable
About: I’ve been a pet owner since I got my first dog when I was 10 years old. Since then, our family has increased to 2 dogs and 3 cats. I’m currently working part time in Sacramento so I’ll have plenty of room in my schedule to accommodate for your pet care needs!

“Esmerilda has been great. She’s one of my regulars and I would highly recommend her. Energetic, great personality and great w animals esp my “special needs” Bow:)!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl. Big, small, fluffy, energetic, you name it, i’ve done it. My family is full of animal lovers and I want to spread that love to other people’s animals as well. I have had every variaron of dog you can think of and they’re always my best friend. I do love cats as well, especially if they’re cuddly! My parents gave me responsibility of walking, feeding and bathing our dogs ever since I was 10-11 years old and I’ve loved doing it ever since. I currently work part time and am a student at UCDavis! I am graduating this year so I will have pretty open availability in the summer. My most free days are Wednesday-Thursday, with some availability on the weekends. I currently have a German Shepherd and she is an amazing dog. I try to take her on a a walk at least once a day and save time to play with her in our yard when I get home. When it comes to clients home's, I am a very quick learner and comfortable with doing what care is needed requested by the owners for each pet.
“Great individual I have some pretty big pups Dogo’s and I had to travel last minute. I had him meet with me day before to introduce him to my dogs and see if they could feel does one another. He did a wonderful job and he took the eade right off of them. Will recommend and use again as needed.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I had a chihuahua and boxer. I began walking and sitting dogs fall quarter 2025 and I have experience caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I also adopted a kitten a year ago and I would love the opportunity to care for them as well. During the summer I am taking courses online that are self paced. This makes my availability to care for your pets very flexible. When it comes to walks in the summer I prefer early mornings to protect their paws. I really do love animals and I would always treat your pet as if it was my own. I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to the routine they’re used to and the one that has been communicated to me. To ensure the owners comfort I always send update messages and photos.
About: I have lived with pets all my life and have over 6 years of professional experience in all kinds of animals (including but not limited to) birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have 1 green cheek conure, 1 desert tortoise, 2 cats, and 1 dog myself. I can medicate your animals, but also help with training, exercise, grooming, and other enriching or basic husbandry care. I’ve recently moved to Woodland to help my sister with her kids, which leaves me some time for myself but not enough for a full time job. That’s where pet sitting comes in for me. Animal care is an important thing to me, and I love to know I’m helping your pet live their best life. Most pets will be comfortable in their own home so I can make house trips at least twice a day, perhaps more depending on where you are located respective to me. If you’d like me to take your little one into my own home, we can talk about it and go from there :)
About: I have always had a passion for animals and it seems they’ve always been drawn to me! Growing up my mom owned a small pet sitting business. We took care of dogs, cats, birds, even an entire farm. Over the years of helping my mom and pet sitting on my own, I’ve gained plenty of knowledge and patience for all furry friends! I have my own small business as a licensed esthetician, so whenever I don’t have clients scheduled, I am totally free to play with your pets! I have a 1 bedroom apartment with a small yard that has public access. I live with my 3.5 year old male cat, but he is very tolerant of dogs! Pet friendly space for your furring friends to visit!
About: I have always had a dog or some sort of animal around my home since I was a kid but know how difficult it can be to sometimes balance having adult responsibilities and take care of your pets, so I’m here to offer a way that you can have your life AND know your pet is always loved and cared for even when you’re away. I myself have a dog reactive dog and semi-stranger reactive dog so I am comfortable working with reactive dogs! My cat is now in remission but was diabetic so I am comfortable and knowledgeable in caring for diabetic pets. My history with caring for animals has been taking care of my own through a variety of things, and when staying with friends I have assisted them with their 13+ dogs along with other animals. I have worked in the veterinary field for a year at a large specialty GP/ER clinic so am familiar with health care for pets. I am very attentive to animals and am careful to notice anything out of the ordinary so you know your animal is in safe hands. In addition to my own dog and cat, I've also owned & cared for horses for 10+ years and have 4 snakes as well as arachnids if you find yourself needing care for more unique pets! I am a college student so have a slightly more flexible schedule & just have requirements to be able to care for my own dog, cat and horse but am able to add in your pets comfortably! I understand during drop in visits and walks you want to make sure your pets are getting maximized attention and energy requirements fulfilled and I am hear to do that for you!

“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”
“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.”
“Valerie is a true gem! Along with having years of experience with dogs, she also has a great love for them! My dog Spirit had a great time at her ranch and even showed signs of attachment when I picked her up.🥰 I feel like Valerie and her ranch will be my dog’s second home from here on out!”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
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!
“We are happy with our experience. John sent pictures, and seemed happy to watch our dogs. Our fur children were also happy when we arrived for pickup. Our pups also don’t usually eat away from home so we were surprised that they ate with John. We will definitely rebook. Thank-you”
“We let Kathleen know that it was Clyde’s first bday and she sent us adorable pics with him and honey wearing birthday hats while having a small bday party! He was there for 10 days and Kathleen was super accommodating with last minute plans! Thanks again!”
“Randy and her family were amazing! She sent regular pictures and updates. It was hard leaving my dog with a sitter but Randy put my mind at ease with positive updates. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“XingYuan was great!! All the updates with pictures and videos were awesome & I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her & happy! Will use her again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Carrie as a pet sitter! Carrie & her family provided a comfortable and loving environment for our Labrador, Lalah (lay-la) during our 10-day family vacation. We rarely leave our beloved dog with a pet sitter & we work remotely, so she is not used to being away from us for more than a few hours. However, Carrie provided Lalah with plenty of love, attention, & exercise & sent lots of pictures & updates throughout Lalah's stay. Knowing that our sweet girl was well cared for was very helpful & allowed us to enjoy our first family vacation since prior to the pandemic. :)”
“Alexandra made our first rover experience great! She provided us regular updates with photos, and gave us peace of mind while Yeti was away. She’s so thoughtful and makes sure your pet has a great stay!”
“Becky was really patient when I was anxious about my pet staying at her place and sent updates in timely manner. My pet looked like he had fun with her as his company :)”
“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”
“Grisel was phenomenal!! She kept me well informed on how Ace was adjusting to his surroundings and she was very patient with him since he had a little bit of separation anxiety. He was able to make new friends and enjoy his stay while I was out of town! I will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip and recommending her to friends and family 🥰”
“Kimberlin was great with our 2 dogs! They stayed with her and her husband for a week getting lots of attention and love. She communicated well, responded promptly to the initial request and all subsequent messages. She’s kind and clearly has a love of dogs that shows through her interactions. She is very understanding and accommodating. Our dogs were perfectly happy when we picked them up after a long week and I’m sure wouldn’t have protested to staying longer. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need help with our pups!”
“Diana was the epitome of what I wanted and needed in a sitter! I was instantly comfortable when we met and set up everything for Cairo! She gave me updates and messages about his progress that we really appreciated! 10 stars highly recommend & I will be booking again soon 🥳”
