“Here’s a short, positive review you can use: We booked one night of boarding with audrianna while we explored pinnacles national park where she lives near by and had a great experience with her. Our olive was well cared for, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend!”
“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“Bryan and Renee have always been so sweet and accommodating. They’ve taken Disco on many trips and all over the city along with their own dog who is the sweetest! I will definitely continue to book them for boarding.”
“I will definitely call upon Mahrukh again. I felt secure leaving my pet with her while I attended a wedding. She was professional and showed her home where Roble would stay for the day and sent me updates so I could feel at ease.”
“We typically use Wag Hotels to book our boarding stays but were booked for the Thanksgiving holiday so we had to find a last minute boarding stay. Robby and Ashley made the take in process really easy. We are so glad we found Robby and Ashley in our community and Luna enjoyed her stay. We will use their services again!”
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for many different types of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, lizards, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, sitting, and boarding depending on my availability. I’m happy to communicate with each owner beforehand to understand their pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs\. In my home, pets have access to a spacious, fully fenced in one\-acre yard where they can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise\. I’ll follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention\. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep their safety and comfort a priority.
“Nicole is Amazing and our boys felt right at home with her! She was prompt in her communication with us and tended to our boys needs. We will Absolutely come back to her because our boys were in the best of hands and so loved!!!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“We are so grateful that Jaclyn was able to take care of Odie so nicely. Odie got so much love and affection and did not even miss us. haha. They sent pictures of Odie and took him for walks and gave him so much of hugs kisses and wrapped him like a baby during bedtime and made him feel so much at home. This is the best place for my pet and would greatly recommend for anyone trying to send their pet when they are out of town. Thanks so much Jacklyn. We love your support!”
About: Starting June 19th, 2026, I will be able to provide full time pet care if that is needed for more anxious pets! ———— I have extensive knowledge of exotic animals too! A bit about me: I have loved animals since I was a kid. I was a vet assistant at a local vet hospital. After working in the field for about 5 years, I wanted to try something else and transitioned to pet sitting. With my vet experience, I can spot subtle signs of illness, can give eye drops, oral medication, and injectable medications. Working at a vet hospital also means I worked with a wide array of different dog (and cat!) breeds and temperaments. Special accommodations can be made to ensure everyone’s safety (within reason). I am familiar with the more stubborn and hard headed breeds, even owning some of them in the past. I also have basic obedience training knowledge, so I can help with puppy training. I of course love all pets, but I have a special place in my heart for senior pets! You can guarantee patient and gentle care will be provided to them. Starting June 19th, 2026 I will be doing dog walking and pet sitting full time. Therefore, I will be able to accommodate most schedules, even for the more anxious and clingy pets out there. If your pet cannot be left alone for more than 4-5 hours, an additional fee will be added to the booking. You can rest easy knowing you pet will be treated like family in the comfort of their own home. For you — I can do some light housekeeping, bring in the mail/packages, and take care of any houseplants. Boarding clients can expect a tidy house and side yard potty access. 20-30 minute walk included per day. I can provide puzzle toys and frozen kongs on hot days with owner permission. Boarding requests are taken on a case by case basis, as I have two dogs of my own. They get along well with other dogs, but I would like to see how everyone interacts with each other before agreeing to anything. Boarded pets will also need proof of vaccination. As a pet owner myself, I know it can be hard entrusting your pet, as well as your home, to someone unfamiliar. My goal is to always keep your place looking as untouched as possible, if not better than how you left it. I have pet caregiver insurance as well, for additional piece of mind. Both your home and pets are covered.
“Our pet had a fantastic experience with Molly and her family. Molly and her family were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Molly was extremely supportive, accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend Molly, and we will return our pet to Molly again in the future.”
“Robin is truly an animal whisper. She took such good care of my Daisy for a week. She was great at sending me daily updates with pictures and gave her extra snuggles. I would definitely recommend Robin and I will be using her again. She was very accommodating with our drop off times and pick up.”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“Gabriel is definitely a five star dog sitter! He’s very communicative and very conscientious. Gabriel watched our dog for three weeks and not a day went by that he didn’t give us feedback pictures and comments about her time with him. He has a gift with animals. He is a not only a dog sitter, but a dog trainer who cares and will take excellent care of your dog.”
“Grace and Claudio were great! They are very responsive, responsible, and my dog had a great time. They sent lots of happy dog photos during the stay and made all logistics very easy. We hope to use them again if we are in the area.”
About: Hi! I’m a responsible college student with years of hands-on pet care experience. I began walking my elderly neighbor’s dog daily and frequently provided dog and cat sitting for families in my neighborhood starting at age 10. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety—especially with senior pets. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending time with animals. Your pet will be treated like family while in my care! As a college student, I have a structured weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate focused time to pet care. I’m available most of the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, and after 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Spending time with animals fits naturally into my life because I genuinely enjoy being active, getting outside, and providing companionship. Dog walking is something I look forward to—it’s not just a job to me. I love building trust with pets and becoming part of their routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with access to a shared yard. Pets are always supervised outdoors, and I’m happy to take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I enjoy being active, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and attention while in my care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Jayla was amazing with my puppy Hastings! I’m so glad we were able to get her as a last minute booking. She was very communicative by sending me pictures and updates of my puppy throughout the day. I loved how she took Hastings out on little adventures. I would definitely book her again!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I currently live with four cats, including one of my own, and my sisters have cats as well, so I’m around different cat personalities every day. I’ve cared for cats of different ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also have experience bottle-feeding young kittens and helping stray cats in need, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and really attentive to their behavior. I know cats have their own boundaries, some want cuddles and attention right away, while others need their space and time to warm up. I’m completely comfortable letting them come to me when they’re ready. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, keeping their space tidy, and following their normal routines. I also pay attention to the little things, like changes in eating, drinking, litter box habits, or behavior, and I’ll always let you know if I notice something unusual. I know it can be hard leaving your cat while you’re away, so I’ll send photos and updates with every visit so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind. Most importantly, I’ll treat your cat with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. 🤍🐾

Clear communication and compassion come first — I want your pet to feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits into my weekly routine full time . Any free time I have I would love spending it with your pets! I love caring for animals. The way I care for my clients pets is based on whatever they tell me to do and how to go about caring for their pets. I am dedicated in making your pet and you satisfied with my care.
“Sara did a great job on a last-minute request. Our original sitter had to unexpectedly cancel and Sara stepped in and saved us! As usual they handled my two felines with care and compassion. Them was able to manage Leo's new medication and all the other details of the drop in visits.”
“This was the first time I scheduled Becky to look out after our dog and I was very pleased with how attentive she was to making sure my dog was comfortable and she kept me in the loop with how thing were going. Strongly recommend to others.”
About: I am vigilant and aware of your pet once I start caring for them , making it easy to see any irregularities or anything that may be wrong quickly.

“Michael was very punctual, considerate, and great with our cat! Our cat is usually so shy. He hides from everyone and everything. But Michael was able to get him to come out of hiding and interact with him, which was just amazing.”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for cats my whole life!!! I grew up with cats and am comfortable caring for them at all ages, temperaments, and comfort levels. I have experience with cats who are shy, slow to warm up, or particular about their routines, and I know how to respectfully manage their space, body language, and environment to keep them feeling safe and stress-free. I’m currently an intern with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter care team, so caring for animals is quite literally what I do every day! I’ve cared for kittens through senior and hospice cats, and I’m comfortable giving medications, trimming nails, and supporting specialized care needs. Whether your cat is playful, reserved, reactive, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’m experienced in tailoring my care to match their personality and routine. I love enrichment play, slow trust-building, and making sure your cat feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Oscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.”
About: I haven't taken care of dogs, but I do and have had plenty of my own. So I have been relied on to feed, bathe, and take care if them while my parents are busy or have some where to go. I am currently on summer break, while taking a college course and going back and forth from my school and home for JROTC activities and meetings that I have. Sometimes I'll accompany my parents at work but since it's summer break I'll have lots of spare time to walk and play with your pets!! I get along with dogs pretty well and enjoy playing with them and walking them around a while. I do have two other dogs at home but they are very nice and friendly!
About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so I always take the time to help them feel safe and relaxed in their environment while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the patience and space they need to warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves attention and cuddles or prefers a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to match their personality and needs. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple-cat households, senior cats, and cats that may be nervous around new people. My goal is always to provide attentive, stress-free care and make sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and loved
About: One thing that makes my home different is that I intentionally only care for up to two guest dogs at a time. Unlike larger boarding setups, this means your dog receives the individual attention, affection, and supervision they deserve—not just another spot in a crowded home. I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have loved them since I was five years old, when I got my first cat. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets—and I’m comfortable with all breeds. I’ve also cared for many pets for family, friends, and Rover clients, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Because I work remotely, I’m home for most of the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, playtime, cuddles, and walks. I’m also comfortable administering medication and pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel like they’re staying with family while you’re away, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the care and attention they deserve. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day, which makes pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with a walk or playtime, and I take regular breaks throughout the day to give pets attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. Evenings are usually calm and cozy — perfect for a relaxing stroll or some quiet time together. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent walks, meal routines, or medication schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so their day feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space where they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, and outdoor walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping things tidy and peaceful while giving your pet lots of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for.

We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.

“I cannot begin to explain how much of a life saver Darlene was for me today!! I live in Galt and have been driving all the way to the Greenhaven/Pocket area in the mornings before work (in Elk Grove) for daycare. During our meet and greet I got to see her very well kept home and her two adorable little girls who did very well with my big excited puppy. She sent pictures of Drake romping around her yard and playing with another dog who is currently being boarded with her. She was honest with me letting me know any behaviors that she had to correct and I’m thankful that she is knowledgeable in dog behavior. I will be using her on a weekly basis... especially since my dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! He was exhausted but was giving her kisses when I tried to tell him we were going home. Drake is happy so I’m happy.”
“Took my dog for daycare. Gabriel kept me updated all through out the day and sent me lots of pictures. Gave us some good training tips not to mention he includes a free 45 min. training session. He gave us a box of treats and some mini tennis balls for my dog to take home very generous of him. We will definitely use him in the near future.”
“Mike & Lynne are Salinas’ best kept secret! They are every dog owner’s dream dog watchers! They are always home, they love going on walks and are super sweet! They have a way of making us and our dog Zuzu feel like family. My husband and I enjoyed talking with them and Zuzu had a great time climbing over Mike, who laid on the grass to play with her. They were very communicative with us before and during Zuzu’s stay. I would def recommend them and we will be taking Zuzu back!”
“Bryan took great care of my dog! Looks like she got along splendidly with the other two dogs and got plenty of treats ❤️ Was really easy to arrange drop off and pickup and especially appreciate the last-minute accommodation. Thanks Bryan and Renee!!”
“Jill was awesome and Jack really enjoyed his day with her. He came back cleaner than when we left him and a happy pup. Would definitely use Jill again when we are in the Monterey area!”
“Velsia took amazing care of my buddy Loki for 10 hours, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was super friendly, kept me updated every 30 minutes, and even took him out on a hike. Loki has separation anxiety, but he felt so comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. She truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“My dogs had a great time! Thank you so much for being willing to take on my rescue pit bull. Not many doggy daycares are willing to let her attend. You guys are amazing with dogs! Thanks again!!”
“Grace and Claudio were so great with my pup! I asked them kind of last minute and they worked with my schedule and took great care of him. They were also super understanding that my dog needed to be separate from theirs and had no issues accommodating. Would def recommend!”
“Best possible sitter I could have ever dreamed of! I was in town for a concert and Jayla took the absolute best care of my dog. Absolutely recommend having her watch your pet. They'll be cared for and happy. ☺️”
“MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!”
“This was our first time using doggy daycare. We are traveling and brought our dogs on our vacation, thank the heavens for Maryjane and Dominic and Rover for putting us together. Such a great experience. And really relieved that the dogs got such wonderful care. Will definitely use Rover again along our travel and 100% Maryjane and Dominic when we are back this way. Really thank you for opening up your house and for your time.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 he was older so I had to learn to be patient with him.Now with a newer puppy I had to find ways to train and help him not be so shy around other dogs As a college student I have my weekends open and I stay at school for holidays! During the week I have a lot of time in between class in order to take care of your loving pet! I always make sure to keep an eye on the pets when outside the back yard or just in the house just to make sure they’re okay. During walks when walking pass other dogs I try to walk across the street from other dog or stray off to the side and wait for the dog to pass us.

About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my lifetime. I love going on walks with dogs and relaxing at home with my two dogs. I also love to give dogs baths. I’m currently working on the weekends and have college during most of the week but I am thinking of taking care of dogs as a side hustle. I have a fenced back yard with one dog and one dog that lives inside. I can go in long walks if needed. I love little dogs. Pet care fits into my weekly routine because every other day I play with my dog in the backyard. We usually play catch if not just run around. I don't plan on doing this service but if I do I would bring treats to treat good behavior. I would also bring a leash (if not provided) so that if the pet needs a little walk I am prepared. I am currently working on some weekends. I also have college most weekdays. I really like walking dogs so I wanted to try it out as a side job. I would bring treats for treating good behavior. I would also bring a leash (if not provided) so if the dog wanted a little walk I could do so. I would also bring some dog toys if the owner(you) gives me permission
“Becky took great care of our girl. She sent pictures and regular updates to let us know how she was doing which made us feel really good. Caramel seemed really happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Becky again when we need to go out out of town and can’t take our dog with us.”
About: About Me 🤍 Hi! I’m Alicia :) I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I have a Pomeranian of my own, and I’ve lived with and cared for all different kinds of dogs and cats over the years. I also have experience pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their own little personality. I know every pet is different. Some dogs want to play and go on walks all day, while others just want to cuddle and hang out. The same goes for cats, some will be your best friend right away and others need a little time before they trust you. I’m very patient and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I really just want them to feel safe and happy while their family is away. 🐾 I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I take that seriously. Before getting into real estate, I worked in banking, so being responsible, trustworthy, professional, and respectful of people’s privacy has always been really important to me. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have in mine. A little about me outside of pet sitting: I’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and now I’ve settled in Monterey with my family. I love being outside, going to the beach, and taking walks around the coast, so having a pup come along with me makes it even better! At the end of the day, I really just love animals. Your pet isn’t going to feel like another “booking” to me. I want to get to know them, learn their little quirks and routine, and make sure they’re getting lots of love and attention while you’re gone. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and in good hands. 🤍 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they stay on their normal routine, feel comfortable, and receive lots of love and attention while their owners are away. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a clean, attentive, and trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of affection, supervision, and patience. I also love keeping pet owners updated with photo and video updates throughout the day so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone, so communication is always a priority for me, and I’m happy to answer questions or accommodate any specific care instructions.
About: I haven't taken care of dogs, but I do and have had plenty of my own. So I have been relied on to feed, bathe, and take care if them while my parents are busy or have some where to go. I am currently on summer break, while taking a college course and going back and forth from my school and home for JROTC activities and meetings that I have. Sometimes I'll accompany my parents at work but since it's summer break I'll have lots of spare time to walk and play with your pets!! I get along with dogs pretty well and enjoy playing with them and walking them around a while. I do have two other dogs at home but they are very nice and friendly!

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been a pet sitter my whole life! I grew up with both dogs (big and small) and cats, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I have experience with dogs who aren’t always dog-friendly or kid-friendly and know how to respectfully manage their space, routines, and comfort levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I’m currently an intern with the Monterey Aquariums Sea Otter care team, so caring for animals is quite literally what I do every day! I’ve raised kittens and puppies, cared for senior and hospice cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications to both. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, reactive, senior, or still learning the basics, I’m experienced in tailoring my care to match their personality and routine. I love long walks, enrichment activities, and making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to schedule pet visits around my shifts without any issue. I’m available in the mornings or early afternoons/evenings, and I can stay for several hours if your pet needs extra company, enrichment, or supervision. I’m also available on weekends and some holidays. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I don’t bring animals to my house, so all of my services are centered around keeping your pet’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I will make sure to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s specific feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, medication routines, or favorite enrichment activities. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and whatever level of play, exercise, or quiet company they prefer. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give your pets. I tidy up after visits, keep things organized, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and understood while you’re away, and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
“We have had the pleasure of working with Harrah for our dogs care needs for years now, both with dog walking and with house/pet sitting. We can not recommend her enough! Many times over the years when we are hours away for a family outing, we message to ask if she is available at some point the next day (or even the same day) and Harrah comes to the rescue — we are so grateful for this. Harrah is always incredibly communicative, friendly, respectful, and kind. She pays full attention to the details when we have specific needs or changes in the care for our dogs, and she is never shy at to ask questions to make sure the dogs are taken care of how we need. It says it all when we see our dogs react when she stops by, and it means the world that we can leave for the day or an extended vacation knowing our dogs will receive the best care possible. Thank you for all you do for us Harrah, we appreciate you and your service.”
