About: I am a longtime cat and dog lover with over 25 years experience in caring for pets. I also have experience working in healthcare and love to care for senior pets, puppies, kittens and pets of all ages and sizes. I am recently retired from my 30 plus years in Healthcare and am looking forward to my dream job of providing your fur babies care in my loving home. I have a fenced yard with a nearby park in Woodlake neighborhood for outdoor fun. But most days we will be cuddling on the couch.
“Lisa and Brent were absolutely wonderful! I think my dog Onyx was living his best life with them. They took him on several walks and sent photos everyday to let me know how he was doing. He is older and is on 2 medications. They had no problem giving him those. I will definitely contact them again.”
“Doh is excellent with the pups. She’s patient and kind and provided many pics and updates throughout my vacation. My dog seemed to really like her and my family did as well! Highly recommend!”
“Demetra took excellent care of our 4-year old lab, Midge. She was excellent at communication and sending photo updates from Midge's walks and playtimes in the backyard. We recommend her without hesitation.”
“Reginay watched my dog CeeCee I am definitely coming back again. Reginay kept in communication with me the whole time. She agreed to a meet and greet before she watched her. She is very sweet and professional the first time we met. I picked her before but didnt need her that time . She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”

About: I have been a pet owner for virtually my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits and even a bird! My partner and I recently lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier “Terrie” after 14 wonderful years. While regular travel commitments make it difficult to adopt another companion of our own at this time, we would love the opportunity to care for your “best fur-iend” when we are home! My partner and I both work from home, so, rest assured, someone will always be there with your pet for playtime, potty breaks and walks. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The house is of a decent size and currently we are without a full-time pet of our own. Your pet will enjoy being the center of attention!
“Michael has been Theo’s sitter on numerous weekends over the last year. He has been consistently responsive with messages, provides daily updates with photos, and is amazingly flexible with drop off and pick up times. Michael is more than a sitter, he’s a buddy that Theo gets to hang out with once every few weekends!”
“Sade was great, Rickie Boobie is a handful with tons of puppy energy, she connected with him right away, let him get acclimated. Everyday she sent me pictures and text reassuring me he was being a good boy . It was our first time and I am grateful for Sade, her husband and son for making Rickie Boobie welcome and loved. We will be contacting Sade again very soon.”
“Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with pets and spent years caring for my sweet Chihuahua. I've always had a deep love for animals, and now I'm just looking to spend more time doing what I love! I have experience working with the whole spectrum of dogs— I'm attentive to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. And who doesn’t love a puppy? Cleaning up their messes and keeping up with their chaotic energy doesn’t faze me and they’re just so cute! I’m a teacher and currently off for summer 2026—with lots of free time that I hope to spend with animals! This means I’m highly flexible and available for last-minute bookings. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all of your care instructions exactly, including instructions regarding gates/locks and home security.

“Jenna was amazing! Super responsive and kept me updated while she cared for my kitty! She’s a cat whisperer btw lol, my cat is normally very scared of new people but she happily greeted Jenna on the first visit. Definitely recommend to others!”
“We cannot say enough great things about Joesph! This was our first time using Rover, and we were understandably nervous about having someone we didn’t know entering our home and caring for our cat while we were away for Thanksgiving. From the first message, Joesph went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. He was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive, ensuring we felt reassured every step of the way. He sent us adorable photos of our fur baby during his daily check-ins. The images captured our cat looking happy (in his way), which told us he was in great hands. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly, and his communication was excellent—we never had to wonder how things were going. It was clear he genuinely cared about making sure our cat was well taken care of, and his trustworthiness made it much easier for us to enjoy our holiday without worrying. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring sitter, we wholeheartedly recommend Joesph. We’ll be booking with him again in the future!”
“Kat was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Excellent communication, lots of photos and details, always right on time, and so wonderful and attentive with my challenging cat. She made a long time away from my cat so much easier and anxiety free knowing she was on top of everything. I will 100% use Kat again in the future, she did an amazing job!”
“Andrea did a great job with our kitties! Usually the apartment is smelly from their wet food after a trip but this time, no smell! She let them out for balcony time which is pretty much their favorite activity during the warm months. Pic updates were awesome too!”
“Kacey did amazing as always with my cats. I received pictures every time he visited them and i was always reassured that they were being taken care of. Needless to say he's my go to now!”
“Jazmine was amazing! Our cat, Dropper, is usually super shy and is always hiding, but Jazmine was able to give her treats and get her to come out when we were away. She also always sent pictures and/or videos whenever she came to visit our cat. Will definitely book her again when we need a sitter!”
About: Grew up taking care of 4 dogs and a cat. Once I graduated high school I had a pet cat. When I moved out to California, I rescued another cat which I currently live with, her name is Misty. Apart from my own personal pets, I have on multiple occasions pet sitted for friends’ and familys’ pets. Im good with cats and/or dogs, and I just in general love animals. I am currently working full time as a Professional Engineer. My job is mostly working from home and I make my own hours so I have a really flexible schedule that allows me to pet sit during the day. Detail oriented, I can follow directions and can meet what ever needs your pet requires, such as daily walks, specific meal times, play time, etc.
“Hannah was super reliable; always on time, and clearly passionate about animals. Kept me informed whenever something was off. Gave me lots of confidence and would definitely hire her again for future trips!”
“Holly was a lifesaver when our pet sitter fell through last minute. She is reliable and my cat Fonz was very happy with her. Would definitely rebook with Holly again in the future and recommend her to those looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on each dog’s comfort, safety, and routine. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m available on weekends and weekday afternoons, making it easy to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of playtime. I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow instructions, supervise outdoor time, maintain clean spaces, and prioritize each dog’s well-being, routine, and individual needs.
“Christina did such a great job with my cat Quizzy! In the intro meeting, she paid close attention to instructions and showed strong knowledge of cat care. My boy warmed up to her right away and she was so sweet with him. I felt relieved knowing he would be in capable hands. It was a last-minute booking over Christmas too, so I was super glad she could be available! While I was gone, Christina left wonderful notes and took many adorable pictures of Quizzy so I felt comfortable knowing he was having fun. She was great with communication too - she let me know in advance if she needed to come a bit earlier or later in the day than planned, and always stayed for plenty of time. She followed instructions perfectly and made sure everything was neat and tidy by the time she left. All in all it was a stress-free trip and I’ll definitely be requesting her help again next time Quizzy needs a sitter. Thank you Christina!!”
About: I have 2 female cats that I’ve had since they were kittens. One is a little spicy and one is sweet. I know how to take care of cats other than my own since I cat sit for my sisters cats. I know cats can take a while to open up or they just want to be left alone so I will do my best to bond with them as much as they left me.
“Natalie is awesome. Kolby (cat) is so much happier when I get home after a short trip. If I leave him for a day and.not have Natalie do a drop in, he is not happy. He will poo outside his litter box and he won’t come near me for a day or two to express his frustration. Since having Natalie, I’d come home to the sweetest cat, he snuggles like he missed me, not mad at me. Thanks, Natalie. You are Kolby’s forever Valentine 💌”
“Michelle took excellent care of our cats. This included getting the older cat to come for her ear medicine and administering the medicine. We would definitely book her again. Meow!”

About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”
“Wunna was amazing! The moment our dog, Shadow, met him, they got along and Shadow trusted him immediately. He was flexible and accommodating of our schedule. He responded to our messages quickly too, which we really appreciated.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Kylie was the first person we chose to watch our puppy, Birdie, off rover and we are so happy with our decision. She's so sweet and updated us throughout the night on our pup which made us feel more at ease. We will hands down be contacting her again for future stays.”
“My dog came for doggy day car while I was traveling for work. Geisel was a fantastic communicator - responsive when booking, and sent lots of photos throughout the day. Will definitely be back!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
“This was Mitzi’s first time staying with Matt, and it went really well. She was a little nervous at first, but Matt was patient and made her feel comfortable. He communicated regularly and sent photo updates, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, she seemed relaxed and happy. I’d definitely book with Matt again. Thanks for taking such great care of Mitzi!”

“I enjoyed seeing all the picture updates of Nikos stay again with Lety. My pup seems to always have a fun-filled day with her & Mason. Thank you for taking good care of my Niko. Our family is grateful!”
“It’s been 6 months last time my fur-child visited Martha. His reacquaintance with Martha & her family went smoothly! I received a comforting video of him playing with Misty and pictures during his stay. Happy to have found Martha!!”
“My chihuahua does not always like meeting new people but I could tell he warned up quickly to Bari. Definitely a relief since I was nervous about how he'd do. Nice and good with dogs 5⭐ and the occasional pictures also put me at ease during his stay”
“Becky is the best dog sitter ever. She takes such good care of my dog Charlie, she’s very reliable and the best dog photographer. I know my dog is safe and happy when he’s with her. Thank you again!”

“Scott was kind to accept a last minute booking. He was prompt and kind! He took our dogs out for a walk around the neighborhood and they loved him! Thank you!”
“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi there! I am a recent law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. In addition to growing up with dogs, I also have experience dealing with reactive dogs. For a time I had a rescue dog, Judge, who struggled with aggression, leash reactivity, and general fear/anxiety. Training with him and learning from him made me extremely educated on dog safety, care, and proper protocols when out on walks to ensure a good time for everyone involved. I recently moved to Sacramento after graduating law school, and would love to walk your dog (and maybe even help with some training) while I am studying for the bar exam. Hope to hear from you! My study schedule for the bar is exam is flexible as it is a self-paced course. I normally go for a walk in the mornings before I start my day, but I am free any time to assist! I have a large SUV that I’m happy to take your dog along in for a little adventure! My favorite daily walks in Sac is along the American River and I’d love to bring a pup along. I am also happy to stay local to wherever you live and wherever your dog is most comfortable.
“We felt very comfortable with Marina taking our lil' Bruno on a walk. It's clear that she loves dogs! Looking forward to more walks, and some boarding days too! Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough about how great Natalie is with Chet and in general. She is really knowledgeable about dogs and their energies and idiosyncrasies. I am forever grateful for finding her on Rover!”

About: Hi! I’m originally from Norway and currently live with my husband and our very friendly cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I was the main caregiver for my dog for 11 years, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. Since then, I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats, cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, and I even had 3 bunnies myself, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because they really are family. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or just wants company and affection, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own❤️❤️ I currently work part time starting around 4 PM, and my husband gets off work around the same time (3:30pm) so there will almost always be someone home to care for your pet. I also have a lot of free time and love to stay active during the day, I love to walk, hike and run,so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m excited to give your pet lots of attention and care while you are away! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable in my home. We recently moved into our apartment, so there isn’t a lot of clutter or things pets can get into. Our cat is also very nosy, so we’ve already made sure our home is very pet-proof and safe. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any instructions from the owner. Whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, or just giving them extra attention and comfort, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and at home while you’re away. I also love going on walks and staying active, so dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time with me💓
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.
“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
“Teri is amazing. Very caring about my pet, and following our routines. She’s also very knowledgeable & safety focused, so I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her hands while I was away. First Rover experience was exactly what I needed when I booked Teri! I will book her again when I’m back in Sacramento.”

About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.
About: Throughout my life I've owned and cared for dogs, cats, fish and birds. I had 3 dogs growing up, I worked at a dog boarding business and currently own 2 dogs. I love dogs and my care of them shows. Taking my dogs for walks, hikes and going to the dog park are some of my favorite things and I would gladly do the same with your dog! I am available Monday through Friday. I will also jog with your dog if they need to expend more energy! I love special needs dogs and would love to care for them also. I understand the importance of a routine and will do everything I can to replicate your pets routine while they are in my care. I am currently a home maker and have a very flexible schedule and can be available at any time of day to house/pet sit and play with your pet! I take special care to keep everything as I arrived in a client's home. Keeping your pets routine and a safe and comfortable area for them is my priority while I am caring for them in your home.

“Reginay watched my dog CeeCee I am definitely coming back again. Reginay kept in communication with me the whole time. She agreed to a meet and greet before she watched her. She is very sweet and professional the first time we met. I picked her before but didnt need her that time . She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”
“Danielle was amazing! She watched my dog bella while I was out of town for the weekend. She was super communicative & provided great care to Bella.she sent me photos and updates! Bella seemed super happy when I picked her up which made me happy also. I would highly recommend her services! Thank you again!”
About: I have been a pet owner for virtually my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits and even a bird! My partner and I recently lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier “Terrie” after 14 wonderful years. While regular travel commitments make it difficult to adopt another companion of our own at this time, we would love the opportunity to care for your “best fur-iend” when we are home! My partner and I both work from home, so, rest assured, someone will always be there with your pet for playtime, potty breaks and walks. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The house is of a decent size and currently we are without a full-time pet of our own. Your pet will enjoy being the center of attention!
“Michael has been Theo’s sitter on numerous weekends over the last year. He has been consistently responsive with messages, provides daily updates with photos, and is amazingly flexible with drop off and pick up times. Michael is more than a sitter, he’s a buddy that Theo gets to hang out with once every few weekends!”
“Sade was great, Rickie Boobie is a handful with tons of puppy energy, she connected with him right away, let him get acclimated. Everyday she sent me pictures and text reassuring me he was being a good boy . It was our first time and I am grateful for Sade, her husband and son for making Rickie Boobie welcome and loved. We will be contacting Sade again very soon.”
“Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!”
“We were hesitant because it was our first time using Rover and boarding our puppy. However, before and during the stay, Alexandra was very responsive and provided photos of our little one the day of and the next day. She even provided tips and advice. Our dog seemed happy when we got her back. Definitely recommend!”
“This was our first experience with dogsitting and dog boarding..... and we believe we found a great second home for our Acey! What we love about Nelly is that she caps her dogs at 5 max and that this is her only job, so she is very dedicated. She also includes enrichment time, walks, snacks, and provides tips and/or offers to train so her charges are more manageable! We will be booking our June board for Acey, which will be for a much longer period of time. Great first experience!”
“We found our dog-sitter Josh through Rover.com and he did a great job! We quickly were able to establish trust with Josh and appreciated that he went the extra mile to give our pup Kylo full attention and love, in addition to taking excellent care of him. My 5 year old pup Kylo doesn’t do well with trusting new people and has separation anxiety from being coddled so much. Josh took such good care of Kylo that he almost didn’t want to leave Josh, which makes me so happy. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter, or service, that wasn’t family. I feel relieved knowing Kylo has someone I can go to that I trust moving forward.”
“Greta had a great time staying with Brandee. Brandee is always so sweet and prompt to respond. I loved the photos and video she sent for Mother's Day. It is reassuring to know that Greta is in good hands when we are away.”
“Jenna and Lexx were amazing with our husky. They played with her and took her on lots of walks! Neko was a happy pup when I picked her up. I got photo updates during my week away and never once felt concerned or nervous about Neko’s care. Thanks a bunch!”
“Gio is fantastic!! He treated our elderly dog, who is healing from an injury, with such love and care. It was also nice to receive daily photos or videos of our little guy. Hopefully the next time we need a sitter Gio is available as we would definitely love to have him sit for us again. Thank you Gio!”
“Carol and her husband are amazing people and you can tell they are animal lovers! My dog can be a bit reactive and anxious and they respected his space and they were so communicative. I would trust them again and again. Thank you!”
