“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home. Pickup was easy and dogs were happy and safe which is what we love!! Very satisfied with the whole experience. We will definitely recommend Achara to friends and will be using her again!!”
“Hana took such amazing care of our 5 month old puppy! She went above and beyond by far. My puppy was so loved and cared for. I felt relieved knowing she was in such experienced and attentive hands while we were away. My puppy got to learn how to walk on a leash with other dog friends, was fed cooked chicken and healthy dog treats like carrots, and got to play and have zoomies in her beautiful yard with other dog friends. She even let my puppy take naps and sleep next to her and wasn’t upset when she had a couple of accidents over the course of her stay. I highly recommend Hana!”
“Bari was wonderful. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do and the dogs seemed happy and content when I returned. She kept me updated with pictures so I didn’t worry. I would definitely use Bari again!”
“Patty did great with our Molly, who is a bit of a diva and still working on her social skills. She kept us updated on all her fun and her accomplishments. It felt like going to Auntie's house!”
“I'm so grateful to Alexandra for looking after Peaches while we were away for the Fourth of July weekend. She accommodated our dog’s needs amid the Independence Day festivities, and I appreciate how well she was taken care of.”
“Michael is great with our dog. Very easy to schedule with, sends really cute pictures and takes lots of walks. Happy to book his services again and will continue to use him.”
“I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Leaving Atlas for a full week was a huge step for me. He is a rescue dog who has experienced trauma, and this was the very first time I had left him with someone since adopting him two years ago. From the moment I dropped him off, she understood exactly what he needed. Rather than pushing interaction, she gave Atlas the space and time to come to her on his own terms while he adjusted to a new environment. That patience and understanding meant so much to me. Throughout his stay, she sent frequent updates and pictures, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was always quick to respond whenever I reached out and made sure all of my instructions were followed carefully. If anything wasn’t clear, she asked questions rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, she treated Atlas like family. He received plenty of snuggles, attention, and playtime; including one of his favorite activities, fetch. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. She went above and beyond to make both Atlas and me feel comfortable, and I am so grateful for the care she provided. The biggest sign of how well she cared for him came when I picked him up. Atlas was incredibly excited to see me, but after greeting me he ran back over to her for one last snuggle before we left. As his mom, that told me everything I needed to know about how safe, loved, and comfortable he felt during his stay. I would absolutely trust her with Atlas again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Manuel is our life saver and thankful he was able to sit our GSD last minute. Manuel send photos and kept us updated which was amazing. Thank you for giving us a peace a mind from the very start to the end. For those reading this, do not hesitate and I would definitely recommend anyone for leaving their fur baby with Manuel.”
“The best care ever!!! I was very pleased with the care and love you provided for my baby princess and you made sure everyday to send me updates about him and that made me very comfortable and happy to know that he was in good hands.Thank you very much!!”
“Wow! Thank you so much, Yifang and Wing! Charlie has been through a lot. Before I adopted him, he had been surrendered to the shelter twice, so he gets very nervous and scared around new people. Yifang and Wing were absolute lifesavers. They were so patient with Charlie and took the time to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. They sent the cutest photos, took him on walks, and gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that by the time I got home, they really knew Charlie and his little personality. It was clear how much they cared for him. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I highly recommend you!”
“Katherine was a fantastic sitter for our senior pup Amara and I would happily be a return customer! She was available to accommodate Amara super last minute, which was life saving, and she really understood the needs of a senior doggo with a particular personality. She was very thorough, even communicating which vet she would use in case of emergency (don’t worry, no emergencies occurred!). They had a great time hanging out in her back yard, going on strolls and snuggling on the couch. Amara was a very happy girl at the end of her stay and I would definitely recommend Katherine as a Rover sitter!”
“Tammi was great with my reactive German Shepherd. She sent me photos and let me know how he was doing daily. Communication was great. I appreciated that she was available on short notice. Highly recommend her! Will book again! Thanks!”
About: I’ve been around/cared for dogs for more than 20 years of my life and still continue doing so. From having my own dogs at home to taking care of dogs in other peoples homes, I make sure to do my best work when taking care of them. I’m currently working from home, but with very flexible time. This gives me lots of time to be able to spend time with your pups here at my house or simply to just give them time to enjoy the outside in your own home/place. There may be some weekends where I can offer boarding or check-in’s. I have a huge fenced yard along with two playful pups that would love to have friends over to run around with or simply keep company for naps. I make sure to follow each rule and direction that is given to me in order to make your fur baby’s stay/check in as smooth as possible.
“Thank you Demi! She was so flexible when our recent travel plans got complicated. We are so grateful! Demi kept me updated on Khrush’s stay. I’m so grateful to have found a Rover that is so communicative and attentive to our sweet boy. ❤️”
“Awesome care of Koda! He was well exercised (possibly spoiled!) and I never worried about him the whole 12 days. He was clean and happy at pickup. Definitely will be requesting again!!”
“Tessa was amazing with Alvin’s separation anxiety! She kept me updated with pictures and made Alvin feel comfortable. She took Alvin on frequent walks, played with him outside, and made sure he had lots of cuddles! When he was whiny and anxious the first day, she reached out to find ways where Alvin would be more comfortable in his stay. She frequently sent photos, and I was at ease the whole trip that Alvin was in safe hands. Thanks a lot Tessa!”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“Ingrid and Oscar did a fantastic job caring for our Husky. They were so nice and know dogs so well. Was extremely comforting to leave our dog with them. Great updates throughout the stay. Our Husky Callie loved the multiple walks a day!! Amazing dog sitters!”

“Kilani was AMAZING! My kitties came out to greet her instantly. Even my shy kitty came out and said hello, which is very rare for him (he usually hides). I immediately loved and trusted her. She has such a sweet and calming energy and she is also very professional. Asked a lot of good questions at our meet and greet to make sure we were all set up for success. She stayed overnight for the weekend with my two kitties and sent me photos every day. I didn't worry about my kitties once because I knew they were in good hands. And from the photos, I could tell my cats were SUPER comfortable with her because they were chillin in all their favorite places. Kilani will for 100% be my go-to cat sitter, and she should be yours too!”
About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“As a first time rover user, I was worried about the process and my cat and home's safety. Jenna was amazing and totally worth the book of faith. She was prompt, communicated well, and even helped me navigate the app. 10/10, will book again!”
“Jessica is so kind and considerate, and always makes me feel so comfortable leaving my kitten at home with her. I’ve never seen my shy kitten warm up to anyone as fast as she has with Jessica! She is very communicative and asks thoughtful questions. So glad I found her!”
“Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!”
“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”
“Davina did a wonderful job of taking care of our two kitties while we were away for several days. Our girls received plenty of cuddles, playtime, and detail-oriented care. Davina provided thorough, timely updates and responded quickly to our messages. We will definitely book her again. :)”
“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Erika was fantastic! She took outstanding care of our very mature (19-yo) cat. She provided updates with photos twice a day. She spent time giving him attention, took care of the litter box, handled the house alarm system with out a hitch. She even collected the mail and provided updates on the yard after a storm. Things could not have gone better!”
“Tessa was fantastic and my cat never hesitated to come out when she was here (a rarity). He trusts her and that means a lot to me. She was extremely communicative and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again.”
“This is Jessica’s second time sitting for our three cats and we couldn’t be luckier! She took wonderful care of the cats. She was a great communicator and sent us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. She checked the litter box each time and was proactive with helping us troubleshoot. Just a cherry on top- she remembered from months ago that our cats are obsessed with Churus, and she brought them for them all week from her own stash (we had forgotten to restock)! Thanks again Jessica and would 100% rebook.”
“Melinda did a fantastic job!! We had an initial meet and greet for introductions and to go over any questions, which was easy to set up. During the stay, Melinda sent me updates and pics every morning and evening, which was so helpful as I was nervous to be away that long. The house was also very clean when we returned. We will definitely be booking Melinda again if she’s available!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She took the time to get to know my cats and their very different personalities. Communication was fast and easy, and she had great photos of my kitties.”
“Christina is fantastic! She is a wonderful communicator and she always goes above and beyond (even goes as far as sweeping the space around the litter box and bringing in packages from the front porch :)). She is my go-to for checking on my cats when I'm out of town. I highly recommend her!!”
“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”
“I'm so grateful for Natalie caring for Winston. She was so wonderful with sharing pictures and providing daily updates. I so appreciated not worrying about my boy. He felt super loved too. I could tell when I got back that he wasn't as stressed as when I normally leave town. Thank you so much!!! I'll be in touch soon.”

If you're looking for someone that'll make your pooch feel at home and have some fun while you're away - Anna's the one to choose!!”
“I couldn't ask for more from a dog sitter. Marcie followed my instructions, provided a comfortable environment with positive stimulation, kept me updated with messages/pics and was just an overall pleasant person. Wonderful job!”
“Wendy was great with my dog and really helped to ease his anxiety with a recent move. He was excited to get to her house each day. Would highly recommend! Thank you, Wendy!”
“I highly recommend Joel! My old girl was calm and happy after her day stay. Extremely considerate of Lola’s needs. She’s a picky pup and can be stressed by strangers, but not with Joel. Didn’t have to worry about her safety or well-being. A great help and huge relief.”
“Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Vigo. She is clearly very experienced and comfortable with all different kinds of dogs, which immediately put us at ease. We felt completely confident leaving Vigo with her for two consecutive days while we visited Sacramento. Katherine has an excellent system for thoughtfully and safely socializing dogs, and it was clear that Vigo felt comfortable with her and engaged right away. Our dog has A LOT of energy and loves to run and play, and he was genuinely happy and very content when we picked him up both days. We couldn’t have been happier with the care Vigo received. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone with dogs of any breed or temperament. We wish she lived closer to us for regular stays but will absolutely go back to her any time we’re in the area.”
“Reginay did an amazing job taking care of my puppy Minji. She was very communicative and provided me updates throughout the day. I will keep booking with her whenever I need to!”
“Ollie always loves the days when he gets to spend with Manmeet! In fact at drop off, he usually forgets in there and runs to meet her knowing he's gonna have a great day!”
“Grisel always treats my girl like real family. Always considerate and understanding, and has helped take the very best care of her. She always gets excited when we pull up because she knows she will be loved and have a good time. Highly recommend.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover with 6+ years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. What started as helping my neighbors with their pets and volunteering at local animal shelters grew into professional experience with dog walking, boarding, daycare, and pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs and routines. I love taking the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱 Building genuine bonds with the animals I care for is my favorite part of what I do. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply a familiar and loving presence, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home. ❤️ For my new clients,I try to schedule meet and greets just to ensure we’re a great fit for each other and I’m not a complete stranger to your pup.It’s a great opportunity for us to discuss any expectations you may have or important information I need to know about your dog.I love meeting new dogs and being able to provide a welcoming environment and presence! We’ll be the best of friends in no time trust me! My ultimate goal is to make sure your pet experiences the same kind of love and care you give them at home.I’m very big on safety and ensuring your pet is happy and taken care of.I have lots of space in my home for your dog to run around and play in!

“Athena was happy to stay with Janessa. We got cute photo and updates during the day which was really helpful for us because Athena is not used to stay away from us. We had to prolong her stay for a couple of hours and Janessa was super understanding and helpful.”
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.
“My dog Mia has stayed with Mahrya for 7 days over the past month and it was a very positive experience for her. Mia is 6 months old and very shy around people and animals but she quickly warmed up to Mahrya and her dog. She got very excited for the morning drop-off which was a great relief to me. I will continue to use Mahrya's services and I highly recommend her.”
“Brandee provided fantastic care for our beagle. She is a good communicator and is super easy going. She sent photos of her daughter snuggling our dog, which sealed the deal. We’ll be back!”

“Rita was great! She was super responsive as we made arrangements for meet & greet / drop-off / pick-up, and she was very sweet with my dog. Unfortunately our dogs weren't a good match, but I appreciate how kind Rita was throughout it all, and I think she would be a wonderful sitter for any dog that's not quite so pushy about playing as mine is!”

About: Hello! I’m new to Rover, but entering the game with a lifetime of experience in pet care and house sitting. I absolutely adore animals and am ready to be your pet’s new bestie. I specialize in caring for cats and small to medium sized dogs, but I’m flexible, so please feel free to reach out with questions. I have two beloved indoor cats (Ellie & Ripley) and help care for my neighborhood cat colony (Cowboy, Bandit, Siren, Margo, Andy, Daisy, Mugsy, etc). Every kitty has a unique personality and different needs. I’m happy to learn your cat’s individual routine and quirks so you don’t have to worry about their standards being met while you are away. I grew up with 2-5 dogs in the household at a time, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of various sizes, breeds, and stages of life. Whether your pup needs extra patience, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, they will be in good/loving hands. I’m primarily a self-employed artist/small business owner who works from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule. Feel free to reach out with last minute requests, especially if you are re-booking a service and I have already met your pet before. As a house sitter I am clean and respectful of each pet owner’s personal space. I will take quality care of your home so that you have one less thing to think about while traveling. I aim to treat everyone’s home and pets the way I would want mine treated: protected and loved, with attention to detail.

“Milagros was fantastic! Our pup Zoey was so excited to spend some time with her and was super bummed to see her go. Milagros worked on some commands and doggo etiquette while she was here and was very respectful of our space. I can always tell when Zoey has a good time because she zonks out afterwards. 😴 I know Zoey is looking forward to more walkies and play time with Milagros soon!”

About: Hello! My name is Violet and I’m 19. I’ve taken care of many dogs with varying ages and sizes since I was 15. I’m a volunteer/foster home at Front Street Animal Shelter and have fostered multiple dogs and puppies.

I currently own a dog I adopted from the shelter 8 years ago, he is a mixed pup around 20lb and is good with other dogs. Currently I’m open full time for your pet, and I take any size pets.

“Reece did a great job watching my dog while we were gone for the weekend. He was on time for his walks, sent many follow up pictures and as someone who hasn’t had their dog watched by someone other than friends and family, I couldn’t be happier. We will definitely being using Reece again in the future.”

With my flexible schedule, I offer dedicated presence, play, and proactive care for medications or special routines, giving you total peace of mind. I will dedicate time during the week to care for and play with your pet or pets, ensuring their needs are met with attention and affection. I am available for pet or house sitting from Monday through Friday, as well as on weekends, to provide reliable and consistent support for your pets and home. I typically earn the trust of dogs and cats by approaching them calmly, using gentle gestures, and paying close attention to their body language and vocal cues to understand their needs.

She went above and beyond in making sure the dogs were safe and well-taken care of during and after their walks. My dogs looked so happy and were well-loved by her. It’s clear she loves dogs, I would definitely book again!”
“I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Bari and the way she took care of my border collie Woody. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs and she takes her rover responsibilities very seriously. During my trip I was always in the know about how my dog was doing because Bari reached out to me each time she tended to him with texts and pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dog is in great hands and being taken care of exceptionally well. I highly recommend Bari.”

“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home.

“Michael is great with our dog. Very easy to schedule with, sends really cute pictures and takes lots of walks. Happy to book his services again and will continue to use him.”
“I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Leaving Atlas for a full week was a huge step for me. He is a rescue dog who has experienced trauma, and this was the very first time I had left him with someone since adopting him two years ago. From the moment I dropped him off, she understood exactly what he needed. Rather than pushing interaction, she gave Atlas the space and time to come to her on his own terms while he adjusted to a new environment. That patience and understanding meant so much to me. Throughout his stay, she sent frequent updates and pictures, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was always quick to respond whenever I reached out and made sure all of my instructions were followed carefully. If anything wasn’t clear, she asked questions rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, she treated Atlas like family. He received plenty of snuggles, attention, and playtime; including one of his favorite activities, fetch. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. She went above and beyond to make both Atlas and me feel comfortable, and I am so grateful for the care she provided. The biggest sign of how well she cared for him came when I picked him up. Atlas was incredibly excited to see me, but after greeting me he ran back over to her for one last snuggle before we left. As his mom, that told me everything I needed to know about how safe, loved, and comfortable he felt during his stay. I would absolutely trust her with Atlas again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Manuel is our life saver and thankful he was able to sit our GSD last minute. Manuel send photos and kept us updated which was amazing. Thank you for giving us a peace a mind from the very start to the end. For those reading this, do not hesitate and I would definitely recommend anyone for leaving their fur baby with Manuel.”
“Katherine was a fantastic sitter for our senior pup Amara and I would happily be a return customer! She was available to accommodate Amara super last minute, which was life saving, and she really understood the needs of a senior doggo with a particular personality. She was very thorough, even communicating which vet she would use in case of emergency (don’t worry, no emergencies occurred!). They had a great time hanging out in her back yard, going on strolls and snuggling on the couch. Amara was a very happy girl at the end of her stay and I would definitely recommend Katherine as a Rover sitter!”
“Tammi was great with my reactive German Shepherd. She sent me photos and let me know how he was doing daily. Communication was great. I appreciated that she was available on short notice. Highly recommend her! Will book again! Thanks!”
About: I’ve been around/cared for dogs for more than 20 years of my life and still continue doing so. From having my own dogs at home to taking care of dogs in other peoples homes, I make sure to do my best work when taking care of them. I’m currently working from home, but with very flexible time. This gives me lots of time to be able to spend time with your pups here at my house or simply to just give them time to enjoy the outside in your own home/place. There may be some weekends where I can offer boarding or check-in’s. I have a huge fenced yard along with two playful pups that would love to have friends over to run around with or simply keep company for naps. I make sure to follow each rule and direction that is given to me in order to make your fur baby’s stay/check in as smooth as possible.
“Thank you Demi! She was so flexible when our recent travel plans got complicated. We are so grateful! Demi kept me updated on Khrush’s stay. I’m so grateful to have found a Rover that is so communicative and attentive to our sweet boy. ❤️”
“Awesome care of Koda! He was well exercised (possibly spoiled!) and I never worried about him the whole 12 days. He was clean and happy at pickup. Definitely will be requesting again!!”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“My dog Oreo had a great two weeks with Marilee and Joe. Oreo had loads of fun playing and wrestling with their dog Zuko who is a great role model for my 3 year old pup. The entire family welcomed and played with Oreo. He even got to go visit the river to swim! 😊 🐕 💗 💦 Marilee was great with communication and sent photos of my happy pup! Lol! He had such a great time I was sort of worried that Oreo would be in withdrawal when we got home without all of their company and attention! We are planning on having Oreo visit again when we go out of town.”
“Eros loved his stay. They have a wonderful and clean home and gave Eros lots of love and attention. I got plenty of updates and photos and videos. I will definitely be keeping Joanne and Jim as my first option for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“Rebecca was great with Gloria - being a trainer, we both got some good feedback on how to make her life even better! I got regular updates and pictures of my girl and she always looked like she was having a good time. Super thankful!!”
“If we're ever in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to use Wendy and Victor's services again. Good communication and you could tell my boy was very comfortable, he walked right in and made himself at home. He even got to have a nice play date while he was there.”
“Michele was a great host for our boy Moose for over a week. Her daily updates made me feel so good that he was in good hands and having a great time. She also assisted with his daily meds, which was very much appreciated. I think Moose truly had a great vacation with Michele. We’ll gladly book again when we travel.”
“Grisel took great care of my pup. She was very communicative & always kept me updated with pics of my girl, made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Mila looks forward to her next visit with Grisel.”
“Oso had the best time! I loved getting updates . We will definitely keep Kerstin as our regular sitter ? She was so friendly and awesome with our sweet boy .”
