“Cooper did not do well in a kennel. We were told Not to come back at two different kennels as Cooper barked all night. Aron stays in the room with the dogs and so Cooper, who needs a human, did great. He also got to play with many other dogs which he loved! We are already booked twice more with Aron.”
“First overnight for our puppy with Ruby and her family! As with the last time Cusco spent time at Ruby’s home, he got so much love, attention, and playtime. I received many photos and videos while we were away, always making us feel comfortable and giving updates! I know Cusco is already looking forward to going back :) thank you, Ruby!”
“Bear loved going to this Dog Shangri La. Running around outside on a beautiful piece of property was perfect for his high energy personality. We loved receiving pics to view while on vacation. :) Thanks so much Grant!”
“Our dog Art absolutely adores Kelsey and her whole family and always has the best time with them when we have to be out of town. Makes having to travel so much less stressful, they will always be our first choice when in need of boarding. Thank you guys for giving our Art such a great week again!!”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Couldn’t have gone easier or any better. Kandra was exceptionally polite and attentive to my dog Hank. Hank apparently had quite the time with the other dogs, playing in the yard. He didn’t even want to get back in the car when I came and got him (lol). He had a little injury on his tail that Kandra made sure was kept clean and bandaged. I highly recommend this host to anyone using Rover…Five Stars and a 10 out of 10 in satisfaction for me and Hank”
“Another happy getaway for our pups at Diane's house. She even made a special treat for our dog's 'gotcha day' which happened while they were there. So thankful for Diane!”
“We have only had Mollie since last December. She is a rescue and a sweet girl. We had the opportunity to go on a trip with friends. I wasn't sure how she would do with new folks since we had not had her with other dogs or people. Our get acquainted visit was the best experience for both of us. She was glad to see me when I picked her up, which was great! She had a good time playing with other dogs and running and smelling around their fenced property. A lake and waterfall and lots of good smells made Mollie a very happy girl. She is nine and her vision and hearing are not great but she loves to smell. Thank you to Linda and her husband! They are perfect folks to care for dogs. Kind, patient, and relaxed! We will do this again!”
“I received great feedback/updates throughout Kaiya's stay. I really appreciate Samantha spending so much time with my pup by taking her out into the wild (her great property) and the pond. Kaiya was also introduced to a horse on her property. Kaiya was really given a great experience and was looking back outside the windowwhen we departed. She may not have wanted to leave just yet. We will use Samantha's services again. Thanks Samantha!”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Our puppy had a 4-day stay with Nicole and Jarrod and she really enjoyed it. Being a high-energy breed, they made sure to keep her engaged and exercised throughout the stay. She was visibly tired when we picked her up, which means she had a great time. It's clear that Nicole and Jarrod are animal lovers and they made sure to integrate our puppy into their family during her stay. We also appreciated receiving daily updates and photos while we were away. We are grateful to them both for taking care of our puppy and giving her plenty of love and attention.”

“I was nervous having to use this app for my dogs to stay the night at a strangers house. My original plans fell through. Hailey not only accommodated my last minute plans so I could still go on my trip, I completely messed up the booking and she had no clue problems accommodating this as well. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I was so happy to hear my dogs got along great with her dogs and kids. She used her best judgement on when she introduced the dogs which all I wanted was for her to be comfortable. I did tell her my dogs go to daycare 4 days a week so I know my dogs are well behaved but you still never know. I will definitely be using her again. She already said she would be happy to watch my dogs for my vacation in July.”
“Words cannot express our gratitude to Deborah! We were looking to pull off a beach getaway for our baby and 2 dogs. As the dogs were not allowed at the hotel we had to find a sitter. Deborah is truly a wonderful, kind, gifted human being and anyone would be lucky to know her or have her care for their four-legged friend ! Her house is top notch as she we got to see where our dogs would be hanging out over night. Beautiful home and perfectly set up. She sent us photos throughout our time apart and reassured us everything was going smoothly. Deborah also has 2 other dogs and introduced them to ours upon arrival one at a time making sure they would get along. I truly know once Deborah is taking care of ours or anyone's dogs t hey can be worry free. Hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Deborah.”
“This was the first time our little dog was going to stay overnight in a new place. Pam was helpful and communicated how he was doing as the week progressed. She was so kind! Our dog was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“Jane was awesome! She took care of our fur baby as if she was her own! Sent us updates and pictures. She even gave Bailey (our dog) her own baby! Very sweet of her! Will definitely be calling Jane next time we need a dog sitter! Thanks Jane!”

I've been housesitting for about 4-5 years for mostly dogs and cats, but I have had the occasional snake or fish, even a pig once! I'm very excited to meet you and your pets!
“Paola took such good care of our 15 year old kitty! Our house looked spotless as well, which I know wasn’t luck. Our kitty tends to struggle with hairballs! Paola spent at least 30 minutes on each visit, playing with the kitty and chasing away her loneliness. It’s so comforting to know that someone truly cares for your pet while you’re away on a trip. That’s how we felt about Paola.”
“Cydney did an amazing job watching our cats over the holiday. Cydney did great learning how to administer pills to one cat and feeding and cleaning up after both cats. She was very communicative with updates and on time with her drop ins and we appreciated coming home to a clean house and happy cats. Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Natalie was awesome! I came home to very happy cats even a thank-you note. Natalie was super reliable and communicative and totally helped me out with my last-minute request, for which I'm super grateful.”

“My kitties were so happy with Jillian they were sad when she left. Sunny and Shadow had shiny coats from brushing. She fed them lots of tests at night. She sent many updates through the day depicting their walkabouts around the property. I felt like I was there with my cats at home from all the updates! I would highly recommend her services if are feeling nervous about leaving your home and fur babies. She was compassionate and was professional with her communication. I am so happy my cats had a friend to cuddle with while I was away. 😃”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
About: I have lots of experience of taking care of pets: cats and dogs throughout my life. Ever since as a child, I love animals and to hope acquire to some kind of a career in animal care. My availability is currently open until further notice. I am not currently working at the moment but I’m actively job hunting and doing interviews occasionally. I would likely walk your dogs at nearby dog parks and other walking paths. I'd like to take dogs for walks in multiple places and read that in a magazine that dogs like to get their walks in multiple different places, no same place two times in a row. This keeps exciting for them and makes the process of walking them a lot easier for the dogs and the walker, especially the owner.
“Kellie always checks in regularly with thorough updates. She took extra care with looking after my garden in the heat. On both occasions that I have hired Kellie, she has left my house exactly as she found it (maybe even cleaner).”
“Yolanda is genuinely fantastic!!! First of all, she’s so kind and you can tell she truly loves animals and people. She came and met our furry family and was very attentive to the details of how to care for them. Prior to our vacation, she checked in and was very communicative and excited to come and stay. I sent a few videos via the app on some updated protocols with the kitty meds, and she was on it! While she was here, she sent sweet pics of our kitties and kept us posted. Our cats are “elders” and needs meds, and she did a great job handling all of it! She left our house spotless and communicated prior to heading out as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Yolanda to care for you furry family ❤️🙏”
“Anna took excellent care of Bubba while we were away for a weekend. We came home to a happy, well-fed cat. The photos were great and we could tell he had a great time when she stopped by. Would recommend Anna anytime! Thanks!”

He was attentive and provided great recommendations on ways I could help socialize my dog more around other pups, I used him for a week and highly recommend!”

About: We loved our pound puppy from birth until he passed at year 13:(. We love all things dog. We saw him through the puppy years, daily walks, and the older years with wagon rides. We will love your baby as we loved ours. I am stay at home mom with two littles who love dogs!! We can’t wait to walk your dog several times a day and snuggle. We walk all the time, go to parks, have a fenced in area (10x10 area), snuggle. We are a responsible family, we eat healthy and feed our family/ pets the same. We enjoy the outdoors, non smoking, super clean people:)
“Nicole and Jarrod are great, they always send lots of pictures and my pup always comes back tired and is excited to see them again. I can feel good about leaving my baby with them”
“Danielle is so great with our little Chi mix, Margeaux. She treats her & loves her as if she were a member of her own family. Sends photo updates daily and is flexible with dtop-off and pick-up times. My puppy always leaves her home having had lots of exercise and attention. It's so nice to be able to go to work knowing my furry little one will be happy and kept safe for the day. I highly recommend her! :)”
“Louisa was extremely flexible and accommodating to our last minute needs. She was very sweet and kept us updated with photos which, as new puppy parents, we loved!! Thanks Louisa:)”
“We were camping with our dog in June Lake and wanted to do a day trip to Yosemite. Unfortunately, being a national park, dogs are not allowed on most trails. Tanya was a great way for all of us to enjoy the day, and she's so convenient being less than 5 minutes away from Tioga Pass. We dropped Jake off a bit later than planned because a few in our group struggled with the early wake-up we had planned, but Tanya was understanding and accommodating. We had a full day in Yosemite and picked Jake up in the late afternoon. Highly recommended for anyone in the June Lake or Mammoth Lakes area who can't take their pup on a trip or just wants to give your dog a break.”
About: Dogs are part of the family! I grew up with animals and have always taken our responsibility to pets seriously. I'm trained as a professional pet nutrition advocate and have experience not just feeding all the pets but truly healing thru nutrition with everything from making whole foods and supplements, to designing recipes and diets, including the treats, to training and socializing dogs of all ages and backgrounds. I've built my schedule around pet care including making the foods and minimum 2 walks a day. I'm happy to make time for the pets anytime! Whether I'm staying over with your dogs or they're staying over with me, I strive to keep them happy and healthy in every way with good nutrition, exercise and quality interaction.
“Katya provided a safe, comfortable, happy play stay for our 20-month-old golden retriever. Mattie loved playing with Dewi and Mishka! Katya's calm demeanor put our girl at ease right away. You can tell that she is a dog lover who understands how to take charge while still having fun. Definitely will use her services in the future!”

“What a great environment for my dog. The backyard is a dog's dream, especially if your pup likes to run. Yolanda was very accommodating when I was delayed and kept me informed of how Beau was doing during his stay. I would highly recommend Yolanda and her Doggy Day Care.”
About: I've taken care of all different breeds of dogs my entire life. As well as personalities. Whether they're shedders, have an anxious attachment, are seniors, babies, aggressive/reactive dogs.. they all need love. And I'm here to help! I'm 100% available for your needs. I've been helping with animals my entire life, but I am new to the area. So I am fully available and looking for new opportunities! I worked 5 years for a family walking their dog an hour and a half every morning. They traveled during the summers and he would stay at my place and go on a ton of adventures with me! Whether it was beach trips, hikes, dog parks, sleepovers with friends and family.. he always tagged along! I’m happy to find a similar situation in Northern California. I am available full-time! I'm adaptable and am happy to accommodate to your needs. I know animal parents also have their preferences when it comes to how their babies are treated, so I'm here to do whatever it takes to make everyone comfortable.
About: Hi, we are Molly, Massimo and Zali. We've had dogs in our families and had taken care of pets of all kinds since we were kids. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on us to walk, feed and care for their pets of all shapes & sizes. We use positive reinforcement for training and pride ourselves on having trained Zali & other dogs basic commands, to walk both on & off leash, plus some fun party tricks. Our favorite “trick” is to ring a bell to go outside. On rainy days, we play hide & seek games with toys & treats around the house to make sure we’re all still getting plenty of stimulation. We’re still unsure who’s more entertained, us or the dogs, when they’re are searching for their reward ;) We are enthusiastic hosts & look forward to meeting you & your pup! We work from home and begin each day with a good romp in our big back yard and a long neighborhood walk. Our yard has plenty of shade and running water. Doggos and humans alike love it here 💓🐶 We live on a 2 acre fully fenced lot and have a sweet, 5 year old female boxer mix that will keep your dog company. She happily shares her toys; playing with other doggo friends & sunny naps are some of her favorite pastimes. While she is a large and playful dog, she is able to match any dogs level of excitement and play.

“Elle has a kind and humble manner with animals, and was able to gain the trust of our shelter adoptee with mild separation anxiety, early on. Elle has been Kai's main handler for the past two weeks and has been very consistent with the schedule and very capable with some simply training commands that have been countering some reactive behavior. We are very grateful!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I walk a malamute and husky a lot. I pet sit for smaller dogs too. I love walking dogs because it’s a good exercise for them I currently am still in high school I graduate in June so right now I’m available to walk dogs around 4pm. I drive so I can do a little far distance When walking dogs I walk them for an hour and I always bring water to make sure they get the water they need and don’t overheat
“Natalie is kind, consistent and reliable. We’ve been very lucky to have her skillful, calm, presence assisting with daily walks and positive reinforcement training for our high energy pup, Kai.”
“Sonya does an excellent job! Not only is she great with my crazy pup, her background in animal nutrition has been an invaluable resource as I am working to improve my dogs diet. I appreciate her availability and wonderful care!”
About: I was a dog walker back in college and loved getting to see my animal friends on a regular basis. I have more experience with adult and senior dogs but I can’t say no to a puppy! 🫶 I’m available usually after 10am and can drop in anytime. I can be busy on afternoons during the weekends but I’m mostly around to help. Very flexible and am willing to work with you on the best care for your loved one. Please give me clear instructions and i will be keeping you updated as much as you’d like, via texts and phone calls as needed.
“Shannon was amazing with my shy pup, showing great patience and taking the time to earn her trust. She also did a fantastic job meeting my puppy’s high energy needs, making sure she got plenty of exercise. It’s clear Shannon really understands dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend!”
About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 25 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter with my 15yr old pup. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a 1-2 hr walk/hike in the morning, chill/snack/play, and then one more 1 hr walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!
“Laura has been wonderful with my Great Dane pup! He can be a lot to handle sometimes as his excitement and anxiety can overwhelm him, but Laura has always been so patient and kind and even sets him up with water and outside time post walk when I’m in a meeting!! Love her!”
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. I can work with special medical needs or elderly pets.

I have a pretty spacious apartment so they can run around. I have a cat who is very friendly with other dogs.
About: Some of my earliest memories are of taking care of Queensland Heeler puppies in my outdoor playhouse. My parents were breeders & ever since then I’ve had a very special connection to dogs! I have taken care of many different types of furry friends from puppies to seniors, from chihuahuas to Belgian Malinois. I have also fostered rescues in my home from time to time. All while having two dogs myself! Looking to build a relationship with a few clients who need their pups walked daily/ boarded while they are away at work or vacation. I am a new stay at home mom so my schedule is very open & flexible! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet and mine to run and play! I can also provide a crate in a spare bedroom for your pet if they need their own space. I am also very big on walks, me and my dogs go on a walk everyday! Plenty of treats & pets will be provided as well as updates & photos to you!
About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working.

About: I have my own dog, 2 cats, and chickens. I've cared for many dogs and cats in my life and treat every animal with love as if it were my own. I have a housecleaning business and will leave your home clean upon your arrival, including all linens and beds made. Most of my sitting clients are referrals off app, but I'm scheduling new clients and excited to make new connections. NOTE: My dog comes with me to all clients homes. He is a very friendly, well behaved, respectful, submissive boy who loves making new friends. He's great with cats and all animals. I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule that I can easily make arrangements. Pet sitting is very suitable for my work life. I don't offer this service unless it is absolutely necessary and your pets are comfortable around other animals. I live on 25 acres and have a dog, cats and chickens at my home. They all roam freely around the property and the dog and cats have access to the home through a dog door.

“Cooper did not do well in a kennel. We were told Not to come back at two different kennels as Cooper barked all night. Aron stays in the room with the dogs and so Cooper, who needs a human, did great. He also got to play with many other dogs which he loved! We are already booked twice more with Aron.”
“Bear loved going to this Dog Shangri La. Running around outside on a beautiful piece of property was perfect for his high energy personality. We loved receiving pics to view while on vacation. :) Thanks so much Grant!”
“Our dog Art absolutely adores Kelsey and her whole family and always has the best time with them when we have to be out of town. Makes having to travel so much less stressful, they will always be our first choice when in need of boarding. Thank you guys for giving our Art such a great week again!!”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Couldn’t have gone easier or any better. Kandra was exceptionally polite and attentive to my dog Hank. Hank apparently had quite the time with the other dogs, playing in the yard. He didn’t even want to get back in the car when I came and got him (lol). He had a little injury on his tail that Kandra made sure was kept clean and bandaged. I highly recommend this host to anyone using Rover…Five Stars and a 10 out of 10 in satisfaction for me and Hank”
“Another happy getaway for our pups at Diane's house. She even made a special treat for our dog's 'gotcha day' which happened while they were there. So thankful for Diane!”
“We have only had Mollie since last December. She is a rescue and a sweet girl. We had the opportunity to go on a trip with friends. I wasn't sure how she would do with new folks since we had not had her with other dogs or people. Our get acquainted visit was the best experience for both of us. She was glad to see me when I picked her up, which was great! She had a good time playing with other dogs and running and smelling around their fenced property. A lake and waterfall and lots of good smells made Mollie a very happy girl. She is nine and her vision and hearing are not great but she loves to smell. Thank you to Linda and her husband! They are perfect folks to care for dogs. Kind, patient, and relaxed! We will do this again!”
“I received great feedback/updates throughout Kaiya's stay. I really appreciate Samantha spending so much time with my pup by taking her out into the wild (her great property) and the pond. Kaiya was also introduced to a horse on her property. Kaiya was really given a great experience and was looking back outside the windowwhen we departed. She may not have wanted to leave just yet. We will use Samantha's services again. Thanks Samantha!”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Our puppy had a 4-day stay with Nicole and Jarrod and she really enjoyed it. Being a high-energy breed, they made sure to keep her engaged and exercised throughout the stay. She was visibly tired when we picked her up, which means she had a great time. It's clear that Nicole and Jarrod are animal lovers and they made sure to integrate our puppy into their family during her stay. We also appreciated receiving daily updates and photos while we were away. We are grateful to them both for taking care of our puppy and giving her plenty of love and attention.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.

Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Mornings start with feeding, walks (if needed), and playtime. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, short walks, and attention. Evenings include dinner, exercise, and cuddles before a final bathroom break. Since I’m home often, your pet will get frequent companionship, and I can stick to their usual routine—whether that’s medication, training, or extra play. Weekends allow for longer adventures like park visits or extended play sessions. In My Home: I provide a pet-friendly space with scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, and cozy rest areas. Your pet gets constant attention, safe socialization (if approved), and a structured routine. I have 10+ acres of space to allow your pets to be free to have fun. In Client’s Home: I follow your pet’s normal schedule (meals, walks, meds) and keep their environment familiar. Includes updates, litter/yard cleanup, and extra cuddles to reduce stress while you’re away.
“Words cannot express our gratitude to Deborah! We were looking to pull off a beach getaway for our baby and 2 dogs. As the dogs were not allowed at the hotel we had to find a sitter. Deborah is truly a wonderful, kind, gifted human being and anyone would be lucky to know her or have her care for their four-legged friend ! Her house is top notch as she we got to see where our dogs would be hanging out over night. Beautiful home and perfectly set up. She sent us photos throughout our time apart and reassured us everything was going smoothly. Deborah also has 2 other dogs and introduced them to ours upon arrival one at a time making sure they would get along. I truly know once Deborah is taking care of ours or anyone's dogs t hey can be worry free. Hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Deborah.”
“Jane was awesome! She took care of our fur baby as if she was her own! Sent us updates and pictures. She even gave Bailey (our dog) her own baby! Very sweet of her! Will definitely be calling Jane next time we need a dog sitter! Thanks Jane!”
“Abbie did a great job taking care of Ella-dog. Her communication was prompt and professional and most importantly Ella-dog had a great time. 10/10 would happily recommend to anyone.”
“I had such a great experience with Tiffany and her family! This was my first time leaving George with someone unknown, and Tiffany made it so easy for me. Such a lovely family and so kind and loving to George. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with our dog’s stay with Arwen over Thanksgiving weekend. Our dog Angus has never been so comfortable from the moment we arrived; it was obvious that Arwen and her husband were not only very experienced and huge dog lovers, but also very kind and genuine people. Angus actually played with the other dogs, which rarely happens, and we received updates and photos throughout his visit. I would highly recommend Arwen if you’re looking for peace of mind for yourself and a great country vacation for your doggo.”
“Yolanda was awesome!!! She provided my dog a mini vaca filled with lots of playtime and outdoor exploring! I highly recommend Yolanda’s services!! She was just what I expected! kt”
