“Jonathan took such wonderful care of Luxor while I was away. From the very start, he was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He made sure he got plenty of walks, TLC, and updates for us every day, and it truly showed his sweet nature caring for our precious Boy. We joked Luxor wouldn’t want to come back home he was so happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving hands. I’m so grateful to Jonathan and Poppy! and would happily trust him again in the future.”

“Victoria was amazing! She was able to watch my dog on very short notice for a family emergency and was very communicative throughout the whole process. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy during her stay.”

“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”

“Lissa is a great Petsitter! She is a kind, person who genuinely cares about your pets well-being. My dog has stayed with her 3 times so far and has been shown nothing short of love and attention. He loves her and her family which gives me peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. I highly recommend Lissa to care for your pet.🩵🐩”

“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could tell our two pups felt safe and were taken care of. They were completely at ease and wagging tails when we picked them up! I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the weekend which is always appreciated. We will absolutely have Jennifer watch them again!😊🐶”

“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”

“Colin was great with my elderly dog. He was super understanding with staying on his schedule and kept me updated. I really appreciated the attention he gave to my pup while we were away for an extended period.”

“Our dog Redford had an amazing stay with Brittany! He came back clean and happy under Brittany’s care :) he is very sensitive to new people but warmed up to her immediately! Will definitely be boarding with Brittany again!”


“Roxanne is amazing! She looked after our Bichon Frise for a couple of months when our family moved overseas and needed care for him until he could join us. She went well beyond our expectations and treated our dog like one of her own. She kept us well informed with daily emails of his daily activities. He loved his time with her and we couldn't recommend her more highly.”

“Jill took amazing care of my pup over a long weekend. She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with her. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! Look forward to using her again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

“Lucinda was exceptional! She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is definitely a fur baby lover who has a substantial amount of experience with all types of dogs! I felt at ease while I was on my vacation due to her sending multiple pictures and updates on the regular. She also has a fenced in yard where all the dogs can play and have an amazing time! I would definitely use her again!”

“Lucero is great! She took my last minute booking, and followed my instructions to take care of my pop! Sent thorough updates multiple times a day, and tons of photos and videos. Gonna book again next week! Thanks!”

“Jinyen and co were fantastic!! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pepper! Just the right amount of photos and checking in, and our Pepper came home happy and healthy! Couldn't have asked for better. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Ryan was great with Duke! Our pup can be quite a bit to handle but Ryan didn’t seem phased at all! Super easy and laid back and was very responsive anytime I reached out. Will be trying to make Ryan our go to sitter for Duke.”


“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”

“I can't say enough great things about Ellie! She cared for a recent rescue when I had to go out of town for a few days. She made my girl feel right at home and sent regular pics and videos which made me feel confident about her care from start to finish. When she found a couple of fleas on my put during her stay, she was so calm and helpful working with me from afar to take care of it. When my flight was delayed coming home, she even agreed to care for my pup until I could get back to town. Will definitely rebook with Ellie again!”

“Charli is amazing and I will continue to use her as my dog sitter! She loves my dog like she’s her own and that means the world to me! She is incredibly thorough and consistently sends updates with photos and pictures from the day.”

“Our dog Rusty's second stay with Laura was just as great as the first. Laura was flexible, communicative, and definitely willing to roll with the punches (and by "roll with the punches" I mean "clean up after the carsick dog"). Hikes, beach walks, fetch...they did it all. And Laura might be the best photographer we've ever met on Rover! Highly, highly recommended. Thanks again!”

“This was our 2nd time having our dachshund stay with Nicole and Sean. It was a great experience! They provided photo updates during the weekend. I could tell that our pup had a great time.”

About: As a lifelong pet lover, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. While new to professional pet sitting, my personal experience includes caring for my own dogs, including a senior dog requiring daily medication. I’m dedicated to providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for your furry family members, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away Hi my name is Soleil! I love animals and have a 5 year old pug who’s very friendly and gentle. I work full-time, so I am available in the evenings and on weekends for pet sitting and dog walking services. Whether you need evening visits, weekend stays, or occasional check-ins, I can accommodate your schedule to ensure your pet receives the care they need. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs and arrange a convenient time. I treat my pets like family, providing them with love, care, and attention they deserve. From daily walks and playtime to ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I extend the same level of care and dedication to the pets I look after, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you're away.

“Let me just start by saying that Samanta is an absolute gem. I had scheduled an emergency trip out of the country (family member’s health issues) and having Samanta cat sit my 2 baby kitties was a huge weight off my shoulders. She goes above and beyond when pet sitting. She even got my kitties a new toy. One of my kitties is extremely shy and skittish (but an absolute velcro cat once he feels comfortable with you), and she was so patient and ensured he got his treats and food whenever he felt comfortable to come out. Samanta is so loving and nurturing by nature, I can’t recommend her enough. I will definitely be booking Sam on my next trip ♥️”

About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting and have taken care of dogs across all breeds and sizes. I communicate very well with my clients and send frequent check ins to ensure they feel comfortable while they’re away. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I have time throughout the day to spend time with your pets and keep them busy. I am very patient and great at understanding pets needs. I would ensure they are comfortable with me in their space and send my clients frequent check ins throughout the day.

About: Kitties hold a special place in my heart, and I love getting to know each one’s special personality. I share my home with my sweet tabby, Darwin, who was rescued from the streets of Panama at just three weeks old and raised with multiple dogs throughout his life. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their pet parents are away. I’ll treat your kitty with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and affection. Each visit to their individual needs. Shy or nervous cats are never pressured to interact as I will allow time, patience, and the gentle care they need to feel comfortable.

About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life! I grew up with my cat, Tigger, who lived to the amazing age of 22, and I’ve continued caring for cats for friends and family over the years. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. ❤️

“Heather is the best. Both my cats loved her and we had a stress-free vacation because she took care of everything. One cat needs an insulin injection with his meals and Heather was experienced with that which was a dream. Thank you Heather!”


“Birute consistently cared for my cat and made every effort to make sure he felt comfortable and safe. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip with complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Birute to everyone. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my cat! ❤️”


“Alyssa is the most considerate and courteous sitter I’ve found on this app. She sent a ton of pictures every visit and showed such care for my Momo. Highly recommend her services!”


“Jessica was available last minute and did an amazing job with my cat Hobbes. While she stayed with him overnight she made sure to send photos and multiple updates through out the visit and eased my mind of leaving him home. Highly recommend her to anyone!!!”

“We are so grateful to Caitlin for watching my two cats over the Christmas holidays. Her communication was excellent throughout. I really appreciated how proactive she was, asking specific questions about feeding portions and even checking what to do if the cat didn’t feel like eating. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she left our home perfectly clean. We will definitely be booking her again!”


“Kellee was great! She accommodated my last minute booking including a meet and greet. She took the time to get to know my kitties and the medication routine. She was communicative and clearly took the time to truly care for my senior cat. I will definitely be using her again.”


“Im so thankful and grateful that I found such a wonderful, caring, and reliable person to take such great care of my cats. Kristin followed through with everything that I asked for and honestly that’s very hard to find nowadays. My boys are very standoffish and do not warm up to anyone and I got videos of my cats on her lap, purring and happy. That has never happened with the other sitters I’ve had in the past. Kristin treated my babies as if they were her own. If you want the best for your babies while you’re away, this is the person you want to call. Thank you, so much Kristin :)”


About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life, including rescues and shy kitties. I grew up with two stray kittens, one I bottle-fed and the other I found as a child. I also cat-sat for neighbors from middle school through high school. In college, I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat, and with lots of love and patience, he eventually came out of his shell. I ended up adopting him and he now sleeps in my bed, follows me everywhere, and is happy and affectionate. I’m experienced with feeding, play, litter care, and reading cat body language and boundaries, ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Round 3 with Michelle and we’re still in love. After our cat Oliver had his seizures and put on a rigorous medication schedule, I thought we’d never travel again. But finding Michelle changed that. She’s been there for us for each trip and we are forever grateful. Thank you, Michelle!”

“Randi took great care of my coco while I was out of town! She also took great care of my home and was great at communicating with me every time she visited. I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Kelly was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and having a house sitter for our kitty while out on a trip. I feel very lucky to have had Kelly - she was happy to meet ahead of time and get intro’d to the cat. Sent lots and pics and detailed notes after the visits.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Santa Monica
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I truly understand how much they mean to a family. I genuinely love caring for animals and always adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I take into account their breed, age, and energy level to make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest. Living in Santa Monica has been amazing—I walk or run by the beach every day, often twice, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m excited to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work remotely from home. That means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I’m here for walk breaks, playtime, and snuggles—making sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and never alone for long. I care for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. Every dog is treated like family.
“Jonathan was a lifesaver for us! He watched our dog, Bailey, on very short notice and took incredible care of her. Bailey usually gets very anxious when we’re away, but she was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. She loved the walks and having other pups to play with. It’s such a relief to find someone Bailey feels comfortable with. We highly recommend Jonathan for your pups!”


“Megan is the best dog sitter! She keeps you updated and truly cares for your pet as if they were hers. Chewie trusts and adores her so much, so I was super relieved. We are sooo thankful for Megan, she's a life saver!”

“Jinyen and her family are the best! My dog is always so excited to see them and clearly loves spending time with them. I plan to use them any time I need a sitter for the day.”

About: Cat sitter & owner with 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to sweet seniors. I know every cat has their own personality, preferences and ways of communicating so I'm happy to be flexible, patient and detail-oriented in whatever routine & care makes them feel most comfortable, safe and cared for! I work from home and am available for cat drop-ins and boarding in my Santa Monica apartment. For drop-ins, I’m happy to follow your preferred routine and closely follow any specific care — whether that's fresh food & water, litter care, medication, playtime, brushing, or just keeping them company! I'll always respectfully and reliably follow your instructions & preferences for your home — and ensure food, water, litter, doors, windows, and any specific/special routines are handled with attention and care. I’m also more than happy to send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well!
“Christelle welcomed my fur babies into her home & took excellent care of my four kitties while I had new flooring installed. Thank you Christelle for your warmth, & wonderful hospitality. 🥰😻😻😻😻🐾”

“Aleesa took care of my Penni as if she was her own. She sent countless updates throughout the day that reassured me Penni was not only in good hands, but blossoming and gaining confidence with both her and her fur babies’ influence. She gave her snuggles and love and took her for a walk to the park by the beach. I couldn’t have asked for more. Penni went from clinging to my side and fighting to leave me when I dropped her off to hardly showing interest in coming home! We will definitely be using Aleesa over and over.”

About: As a lifelong pet lover, I make sure every pet in my care feels comfortable, happy, and part of the family. Because I’m home full time, your pets will receive plenty of playtime, love, cuddles, and personalized attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s special personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. My number one priority is your pet’s safety and wellbeing and I create a calm, secure, and loving environment. I have experience working with a variety of behavioral needs and can also administer medication if needed. For your peace of mind, I have full coverage insurance and I don’t take in more than two outside dogs for daycare or boarding at one time so each one receives individual, personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, older, or needs extra reassurance, I’ll provide patient, loving care customized to their needs. Your pets will enjoy all of the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you are away! Since I’m home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. With Palisades Park and the beach a few blocks away, your dog will have plenty to explore! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet friendly space with toys and cozy places to relax, and I closely supervise playtime and interactions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I also keep owners updated and respond promptly to any concerns, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Roxy was amazing with my 10 week old cockapoo, Penny!! She sent lots of photos and had the perfect home for her to play. Will definitely be coming back to Roxy! Thank you for taking care of my baby!!”

About: Hi, I’m Barbara. I grew up in a home of multiple dogs (specifically a West Highland White Terrier and a Black Lab) and have spent most of my adulthood lovingly caring for other people's pets, including my sister's two Black Labs. Because I travel frequently, I don't have a dog of my own right now, which means I pour all my canine affection and energy into my clients! I absolutely love long walks, coastal hikes, getting outside as much as possible, and finishing the day with plenty of snuggling if your pup is up for it. My home is perfectly situated in Santa Monica (Ocean Park), just one block from a fenced-in dog park, and directly in front of a popular non-fenced park where neighborhood dogs gather daily. I specialize in: - Senior care: I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, managing strict health schedules, and providing the patient, watchful supervision that senior dogs in their golden days deserve. - Multi-pet households & pack walking: Experienced in managing multiple dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe socialization, structured walks, and balanced energy. - Puppy management: Patient crate training reinforcement, potty training schedules, and positive socialization. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a multi-dog household, or a beloved senior animal requiring gentle attention, I treat them like family. I pride myself on prompt communication, regular photo updates, and absolute reliability. I'm currently working part-time remotely from home so have plenty of time for walks and caring for your pet. I usually take at least two separate walks throughout the day and hike whenever I can get out (before or after the heat). I live one block from a fenced-in dog park and half a block from a non-fenced-in park where neighborhood dogs regularly gather.
“Charli was very sweet with Cookie and sent regular updates and photos throughout the day. It seems like they really bonded and that Cooke felt comfortable and well cared for. Thank you, Charli!”

“Arzu took great care of our crazy Husky. He came home, re energized, cleaner, brushed and super happy. Thank you so much!!! He was really cared for. We will definitely rebook with Arzu.”
“Heather is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She frequently left detailed updates providing my dog with loving attention, care, and kindness that left me with a real peace of mind throughout the whole entire day. This was my first time using this service and she did such an outstanding job that left me completely satisfied. 10/10”

“Elliot took great care and was very patient with my little pups. My husband and I were very grateful for the help and my dogs were very calm and peaceful upon arrival. No sick nervous tummy’s when we picked them up for the evening so I know they were at ease while there. Would definitely reach out if we need a sitter on the west side again!”

“Diah was great with Arby. She took several pictures throughout the day so that I was well aware of how Arby was doing. Arby is usually shy with other friends but looked like she enjoyed her time!! Thank you and see you again soon!”


About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My last pet, my soul dog Bella, lived to be 18. We traveled the country together and I got the privilege of being her mommy from 8 weeks old to a little over 18. She has changed my life in so many ways and inspired me to help all other animals in need. I’m extremely caring, attentive and loving. I will treat your pet as if it is my own. However, I’m a bit of a spoiler when it comes to animals but I will lead in anyway that you would expect of me. I look forward to connecting with you and more importantly, your fur babies. I’m currently working 4 days a week as an Esthetician but I will always find time for my babies. My favorite time of day is when I get to be at home snuggling my pup and kitty. I always keep a close eye on my pets and keep anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I always pick up on their anxiousness or when they are not feeling well, and will go completely out of my way to make sure they’re ok!
“James and Emily looked after my dog Oyster in their home and took great care of him. I left Oyster with Emily for only a few hours but she still managed to take Oyster on a long walk in their neighborhood. James and Emily were incredibly accommodating, flexible, and communicative. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to them again soon to sit Oyster.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for family/friends for fun for years. Taking a break from nursing and turning my passion into a business. You will always return to your home cleaner than when you left. I have complete flexibility with my daily schedule to play with, walk and care for your fur babies! Available weekdays and weekends for walking or pet sitting. I am highly trustworthy. I will love your animals as if they are my own. You will always know that when you return home your baby will be well cared for. Your house will always be cleaner than when you left.

“Tyler and his wife were great! They were friendly, reliable, and took wonderful care of my dog on his walk. My dog came back happy and tired, and I could tell he had a fun time. I’d definitely recommend them!”

“Todd is an incredible professional and very empathetic sitter. With his flexible cancellation policy and his considerate approach, I always know my dog is in good hands with Todd. Grateful to have Todd on a weekly schedule, he’s the best!”

“Great walk with Collin. He picked up our dog from our place and took him on a great scenic walk. Thanks so much for making it easy for us. On time, quick communicator, and Rory loves him!”

“Amy was quick to respond, detail oriented, punctual and caring for todays walk. She was so gracious about me booking a service last minute and very understanding. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Best on Rover by far and I would trust Kellie with Metro and feel very comfortable and safe for even an extended period of time. Goes the extra mile on walks and cares so much about what she does.”

About: I have been around big dogs my whole life. Grew up with 2 Rottweiler. I’ve always been good with dogs. Sometimes they like me more than their owners. I’ve been raising my own dogs as an adult for the past 5 years and love it. I usually rescuea dog a year on average on the boardwalk but that’s how I ended up keeping a husky. I specialize in skating with your dog or biking. I even have a 4 foot dog trailer for senior dogs to ride in that I’ve got 3 65 pound dogs in. I work weekends at Dogtown Coffee and am a self employed artist. Walking other peoples dog in between walking my dogs is a win win. Depending on the dog I can watch them at my apartment but most likely your place would be better depending on the dog. If it’s at my place we do about 5 walks a day to avoid accidents and feed them in separate rooms. Every morning they are not too tired from the day before we share to Venice Via the bike trail. Thru out the day we walk around the neighborhood usually stopping at Dogtown Coffee. Then Westminster dog park around 5:30 in the summer. Then a cool down period and dinner. Then one last night walk on the beach.

“I highly recommend Kimberly! She takes wonderful care of my dog, Blue, and always goes above and beyond. She sends great updates and pictures, which give me peace of mind while I’m away. Kimberly is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”

“Keitel was incredible! Upon his return, his first words were, “I love your dog!” He said it was such a pleasure to walk Opal. Keitel arrived early, brought her back on time, and took her to 2 parks. He was eager and attentive and listened to my descriptions of her typical actions. I can’t wait for Opal to go on more walks and bond more with Keitel. Hire him!”

“Thank you so much, Arezu! We just love Arezu and really appreciate how good she is to my Everest. She always communicates and makes us feel comfortable leaving our beloved Husky mix with her. She is the best!”


“Anna was fantastic. This was my first time using this app and I believe my experience with Anna was the type of ideal experience Rover envisioned when creating this app. I plan on using Anna for all my Dog walking/sitting needs. You're in good hands!”

“Jonathan took such wonderful care of Luxor while I was away. From the very start, he was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He made sure he got plenty of walks, TLC, and updates for us every day, and it truly showed his sweet nature caring for our precious Boy. We joked Luxor wouldn’t want to come back home he was so happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving hands. I’m so grateful to Jonathan and Poppy! and would happily trust him again in the future.”

“Victoria was amazing! She was able to watch my dog on very short notice for a family emergency and was very communicative throughout the whole process. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy during her stay.”

“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”

“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could tell our two pups felt safe and were taken care of. They were completely at ease and wagging tails when we picked them up! I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the weekend which is always appreciated. We will absolutely have Jennifer watch them again!😊🐶”

“Colin was great with my elderly dog. He was super understanding with staying on his schedule and kept me updated. I really appreciated the attention he gave to my pup while we were away for an extended period.”

“Jill took amazing care of my pup over a long weekend. She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with her. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! Look forward to using her again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

“Lucinda was exceptional! She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is definitely a fur baby lover who has a substantial amount of experience with all types of dogs! I felt at ease while I was on my vacation due to her sending multiple pictures and updates on the regular. She also has a fenced in yard where all the dogs can play and have an amazing time! I would definitely use her again!”

“Lucero is great! She took my last minute booking, and followed my instructions to take care of my pop! Sent thorough updates multiple times a day, and tons of photos and videos. Gonna book again next week! Thanks!”

“Jinyen and co were fantastic!! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pepper! Just the right amount of photos and checking in, and our Pepper came home happy and healthy! Couldn't have asked for better. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Ryan was great with Duke! Our pup can be quite a bit to handle but Ryan didn’t seem phased at all! Super easy and laid back and was very responsive anytime I reached out. Will be trying to make Ryan our go to sitter for Duke.”

“Charli is amazing and I will continue to use her as my dog sitter! She loves my dog like she’s her own and that means the world to me! She is incredibly thorough and consistently sends updates with photos and pictures from the day.”

“Our dog Rusty's second stay with Laura was just as great as the first. Laura was flexible, communicative, and definitely willing to roll with the punches (and by "roll with the punches" I mean "clean up after the carsick dog"). Hikes, beach walks, fetch...they did it all. And Laura might be the best photographer we've ever met on Rover! Highly, highly recommended. Thanks again!”

“This was our 2nd time having our dachshund stay with Nicole and Sean. It was a great experience! They provided photo updates during the weekend. I could tell that our pup had a great time.”

“We had a great experience with Jamie. Our girl felt right at home with her, and it was clear she was in great hands. Jamie kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Valerie is amazing!! She’s fast at responding and is makes you feel at ease. We dropped goose off and she made it really easy to leave for the weekend knowing he was in good hands. She sent us updates multiple times a day and gave him lots of love! He was a really happy boy at the end of the weekend! Thank you :)”

“Mia was amazing with Winston my Coton de tulear who I left longest time with her. And she was so nice to him and was so caring and loving even though he eas nervous in the beginning. She sent pics and interesting notes everyday that me and my kids loved. Would highly recommend her.”

“Roxy had a great stay with Amira! She was so close and cared for. Amira had great communication, and Roxy was pampered and in excellent hands, I know we will rebook!”
