Personalized care for your dog or cat - Verdi
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Verdi
“As a first time Rover user I was very hesitant leaving my little love with a stranger! Ron put my worries at ease from the meet and greet until the end of my trip! He was phenomenal! He sent photos while I was away so I could see what everyone was up to, and one of his photos was the best picture that has ever been captured of Scout (and is now my phone background)! When my flight home was cancelled, he was very flexible and understanding! I can really tell Ron took care of Scout, because when I usually leave him with friends, he is hoarse from barking, but not with Ron! I'm beyond satisfied and will continue to book with Ron for future travels Scout can't participate in!”
“The perfect boarding experience. Aaron and Nicole took excellent care of my Bernese Mountain Dog. Aaron and Nicole are attentive and caring. I felt at ease leaving Jelly in their care. I’ll definitely book with Aaron and Nicole again.”
“Chelsea was amazing! She first started out with a meet and greet to make sure my dog was a fit for he to watch which made me feel very comfortable. Then once I dropped off my pup she stayed in communication with me and sent daily photo updates. My dog had such a great time! He loved playing her dog and I was very happy with my experience! Highly recommend!”
“My Kingsley had a great time with Kelly over this past weekend. It was Kingsleys first time with her and by the end he was a part of the family. She did a very thorough and welcoming interview with me and really made me feel like Kingsley was getting individual care from her. Her dog is so friendly and welcoming and the pictures and updates were just what I needed. We will be coming back!”
“Gina was very communicative with me and always made sure to send updates and photos. She was very easy to work with and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs. She is an excellent dog sitter and I highly recommend her!”
“Ronnie and his little pups are wonderful! He’s very caring and gentle with my blind senior dog. My young puppy loved playing with his dogs. My boys had a great time and will be back again.”
“I'm so thankful to have found Sarah to help care for my senior boy! When I arrived to pick him up from his stay with her, he was so relaxed that he was sleeping in the middle of her living room floor as normal life was happening around him and didn't even hear me come in. I will definitely be using Sarah any other time I need to travel and Hank needs a place to stay.”
“Our pooches had the best time with Kathy & and her awesome dog gypsy! Her home was very warm and welcoming and the dogs loved the yard space, too! We highly recommend her and will be booking her again!!”
“Kristen is amazing! Our puppy was extremely happy and well cared for with Kristen. He had lots of outdoor playtime in her yard and doggy pool. Kristen sent lots of pictures and updates, which put us at ease during our dog’s first trip. Kristen is very warm, friendly, and extremely caring. Probably why our dog enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Erin was wonderful all around. My boy was well-loved and definitely a happy camper. She was flexible and went above and beyond to keep me posted and care for him. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Emily was so fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog with anyone besides family, so we were a little nervous. But it was obvious from the very start how much Emily loves animals. She was so sweet with our dog, and send us multiple pictures every day we were gone. I would use her again in a heartbeat! Such a perfect first experience with Dog Vacay!”
“Trusted them completely with my fur babies. They had some anxiety with being without the family but Shannon and David handled it beautifully and were so gracious. Would definitely use them again!”
“We are really satisfied with Filanthi’s care! She took great care of our boy! She communicated throughout the whole stay and provided daily photos! We would definitely use her again! Thank you SO much for your amazing care!!”
“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“Kilo had the best vacation stay with April & Rachel (Aliyah & Honey too). He was so happy and came home exhausted!! He needed a day of RnR from his stay. Now for my personal review. Now that I have met April & Rachel, I would not take Kilo any place else to watch our boy. I felt so comfortable after our meet & greet with the living arrangements and with the humans watching over him. I knew he would be treated like a king and in good safe hands. I didn’t have to worry about him the whole time I was gone. April & Rachel sent us photos/videos of Kilo so that I could see first hand how he was doing. He was getting the love and attention (even more than when he is at home) and this made us very happy. It’s nice to know he’s in great hands when we are away. April & Rachel will be my first call for my next trip and I would recommend them for your pups too. 🐶 🐾”
“Young is the best pet sitter I have met. He cares for the dogs he looks after. He is easy to work with, flexible and reliable. He even made a website for my dog I can review to see how he is doing. Don't hesitate to call and make your reservation while their is room. Lynda”
“Megan was a delight to work with. She was prompt with replies and kept me updated on how Frankie was doing through text and pictures! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future!”

“Cameo continues to be an amazing cat sitter for our Kobe! We trust her so much, and my cat loves and adores her, as we appreciate her very much too. Being in a city that we are unfamiliar with, it’s nice and relieving to know that we have had someone we can trust and depend on.”
“Madeline was an amazing cat sitter for Fleur! She was so communicative and took lots of pictures. I had no worries that my baby was in the best of hands and could relax on my trip. Thank you, Madeline! We’ll definitively call you again to hang with Miss Fleur :)”
About: I have 4 cats of my own and would love to help your furry friend when you need. I have experience with elderly cats and feisty kittens. I love so sit with cats and help them feel comfortable and also play with them to get those zoomies out.
About: I don't currently have a cat, but have had several growing up. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and love all animals. I can house sit or provide mid day check-ins, whatever you need. Look forward to meeting you!
About: I've had animals my whole life. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I've worked in a vet and I've taken care of many of my friends and family's pets as well. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies. I am available morning, afternoon and night. I make sure your babies are fed and have plenty of water, I can take them out 3-4 times a day depending how they are. I also make sure I play with them as much as possible.
About: I have a genuine love for all animals. I’ve been cat sitting for family (my brother has four fabulous felines), friends and colleagues for years, gaining experience with different personalities and routines. I take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for many years, including helping with family pets since I was younger. I understand that every cat has their own personality, and I’m very patient and respectful of their space. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they get the care and attention they need.
About: I have owned and cared for all pets from dogs and cats to horses and chickens my whole life. I have experience taking friends and neighbors dogs on regular walks or hikes. I always treat them as if they were my own and love building a bond with them. I also have experience house sitting and caring for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated high school and have a very flexible schedule to meet your needs. I can’t wait to meet you furry family members! Recently graduated and have a very open and flexible schedule. Days, nights, weekends and holidays. I can work around your schedule to make it work. I am comfortable caring for pets on a strict routine or with diet needs. I construct my routes based on your pets needs, not one size fits all. If you have a puppy needing to get some energy out, we can run or hike. If you have an older pet just wanting to stay active, a leisurely walk with shade and breaks as needed will be best. There is no request I can’t work with.
About: I grew up around dogs, a jack russell terrier, a black lab and shepherd mix, and German sheperds. I helped take care of the dogs, feeding them, taking them outside, and also playing with them. I have experience with puppies, as well as senior dogs. I have some experience with cats as well, as my mother currently owns 2 and I've fed and entertained them. I am also a UNR student studying Theatre, so during the regular school season, my schedule may vary but as long as I'm not in class or working on a production, I'm generally free and would love the chance to walk/watch your wonderful pet(s). As a theatre student at UNR, my schedule can vary, but please reach out if you have questions about a specific day and/or time! I cannot board pets in my home, but I can certainly walk your pets, and care for them in your home if you need to leave them home for long periods of time. I am a very attentive person, and I love playing with animals, so I can watch your pet(s) and make sure their needs are met, such as going outside to use the bathroom and feeding them. Your dog/cat(s) will get plenty of attention, as I will play with them and even work on simple commands with them, such as sit and lay down. If your dog/cat has a specific eating schedule or diet, just let me know and I will make sure to follow it.
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with many years of experience caring for animals, including fostering for a dog rescue previously. I’m a proud dog mom to my amazing foster fail, Nena. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a hiking buddy, a structured walk, or extra attention, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and lots of cuddles. I currently work Monday- Thursday and have Friday- Sunday available to pet sit, walk dogs and go on adventures. I will occasionally be available after work Monday- Thursday. I not only treat every pet with individualized and attentive, loving care, but I also live by the motto to leave homes better than I found them. I take pride in my work and will make sure that you feel comfortable inviting me into your home and caring for your fur baby.
About: Growing up, my family didn’t have a cat as my parents were allergic. Luckily when I moved into a place with a friend, his girlfriend found a stray cat in need and we got to keep him! I lived with a cat for 2 years and though the beginning was a bit slow as the cat wasn’t quite domesticated, over the time it grew to be possibly my favorite species of animal!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Verdi
“Chelsea takes such good care of our puppy! Rue and Goose are best friends and she always comes home worn out from playing all day! Rue is so excited to stay with Chelsea for the day. Chelsea has been very flexible with our schedule and we appreciate her so much!”
“Danielle was a fantastic sitter for Oreo! She was incredibly responsive and her home is perfectly set up for dogs - I loved seeing the protective sheets on the sofa, a dedicated water station, and a secure yard for roaming. She kept us updated with photo and messages while we were skiing, which we really appreciated. Oreo came home happy and even smelled great! It’s clear she takes excellent care of her guest dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again when we’re back in Reno!”
“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Enero and Angelina! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It wasn't just that she was doing her job—it was obvious from the way she interacted with them that she truly cared about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. Both dogs looked relaxed, happy, and well-loved in every update. Nikki went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for, and we could tell they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We would gladly have her watch Enero and Angelina again!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of providing reliable, loving pet care for over 15 years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. From daily walks and feeding routines to overnight stays and special care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. My long-term clients appreciate my dependability, communication, and the calm, caring environment I provide for their furry family members. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays vary, but generally after 2pm I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass, one very friendly dog to keep yours company, and two dog kennels to crate if needed.
“Timber doesn’t love or even like most people or other dogs. But it’s clear they hit it off from the very start. Thanks, Maddie. We look forward to brining her back.”
“Sarah was so friendly, accommodating and communicative! Even before we spent a full day with Sarah, our pup sprinted to her. Talk about a green flag! We really appreciated Sarah rescheduling our meet and greet a few times as well since the holidays are such a busy time.”

About: i've taken care of dogs, cats all my life. Their wellbeing is important to me. Their needs will be top priority. Let me know if there is anything specific that they need. I also am a dog walker and will make sure that they have the exercise and potty breaks that they need. Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, which allows me to be reliable, flexible, and responsive to pet parents’ needs. I plan my day to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention, including mornings, mid-day, and evenings as needed. I primarily care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable. I follow all written instructions closely, including feeding, medications, leash preferences, and home routines. I prioritize safety at all times — secure doors and gates, proper leash handling, and careful observation during visits and walks. I provide updates through Rover and communicate promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I only communicate and book through Rover for safety and accountability.

I am a teacher with the district who gets yearly background checks and reliable transportation
About: I have owned and loved dogs my whole life, and really just love animals in general. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed "Fear Free" training. I have experience with senior dogs and understand their needs and limitations. I will be sure to follow all instructions and love your fur babies as much as you do. I recently retired and now have time to pet all the dogs! I am recently retired so I have a very flexible schedule for dog walking, mid-day potty breaks/play time, or house sitting. I can often take same day requests. I follow all instructions given and I am very good at communicating via text if any questions arise, or if you just want a quick photo of your fur baby. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. My past career in information technology project management has made me very organized, punctual, and detail oriented.
“Mariana was great! Dependable and and very good with our dogs. She was willing to walk all 3 of our dogs and came for a met and great ahead of time. She was so helpful to us and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I grew up my whole life with dogs. Nothing is better then receiving their love when you walk through the door. My home even has it's own dog bathroom, dog run & house which is heated and cooled. I'm a volunteer at Nevada Humane Society. Dogs are the best!!! I'm retired but would like to get outdoors more and nothing better then walking/running a furry buddy next to me. I do have a few PRIVATE customers before I became a Rover emp. So I do try and keep my calendar up to date. I have a fenced yard, dog wash bathroom in my home which leads to a dog run and dog house heated and cooled. I have a nice big backyard that can get your dog tired out!
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time! When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, calm environment and limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives plenty of attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. Because I work from home full time, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and companionship. I also provide daily photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.
About: I have grown up with animals and helped care for them since I was young. Throughout the past few years I have cared for a variety of different animals with many different needs. I have cared for not only dogs and cats but also horses, cows, goats, and chickens. I have also helped care for dogs with special needs including daily medications, senior dogs, and dogs with special diets. I truly love animals and would appreciate the opportunity to get to care for your pets! I am currently a cross country and track student athlete and UNR and although my schedule can be limited at times I will make sure to fit time in my schedule to care for your pets! I have breaks between classes and practice that provides a great opportunity for me to come check on your animals! I always provide care to both my pets and client’s pet with love and responsibility. I make sure to follow all instructions attentively so that the pets get proper care!
About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.
“McCallister was awesome! She was reliable and dependable, and was great with communication! She had no problem handling our big dogs, and I’m sure they were excited to see her each time she came to walk them! I’d would absolutely reach out to McCallister again if/when we need help in the future! Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special care needs. Your pet will always be safe, happy, and cared for with me. I have my own dog as well and would treat your pet like my own!! I currently work on a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can leave work anytime on weekdays to take care of your pet. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of walks, playtime, and love while you’re away! I have A dog park right next to my apartment and one friendly dog to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines you provide. We have lots of dog toys and go on lots of walks everyday! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have sat for SO MANY families outside of this app over the years and will send you lots of photos of your pup if you want them!
“Our family is very grateful for Emily! She’s great with our pup and very communicative! Knowing she has a dog of her own at home also helps because she’s able to give us tips when we ask for them as we’re first time dog parents”
About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.
“We are so happy to have met Neesa, she’s always available and promptly helps us with our pets, long walks, follows all directions and goes above and beyond by bringing boxes and trash bins in.”
About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.
“Whitney is GREAT. My pups love her and she always does the best job. I feel totally comfortable knowing she is walking my pups! She communicates, takes Pics and lets me know if anything needs attention.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up in a family that always had multiple dogs, I've been around pets my entire life and understand the attention, patience, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I regularly care for my parents' dogs whenever they travel, and I've also helped friends by providing dependable pet care while they're away. In addition, I currently live with two cats, so I'm experienced with feline care as well. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and will provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. I work part-time and manage my other projects independently, which means I can often adjust my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention throughout the day, I have the availability to make sure they receive the care they deserve. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal's unique personality. Every pet is different, and I enjoy learning what makes them happy, whether that's playing with their favorite toy, going for walks, exploring outside, receiving extra cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I take the time to build trust with each pet and tailor my care to their individual needs, preferences, and energy level so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and will treat yours as my own. I am happy to send pictures and updates of our walk or time together while you are away. I can take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood, run, hike, to the river or lake, or whatever you suggest. I can provide pet sitting at your house or my own. I have a home with a fenced in yard perfect for doggy day care. I have a flexible schedule that can fit your needs. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! I am a local teacher who works Mon-Wed so those days I am gone during school hours. Thur-Sun and summer I am available with a flexible schedule. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard that’s perfect for a pup. My most recent dog was an old golden retriever with medical needs so I am used to providing special care.

“The perfect boarding experience. Aaron and Nicole took excellent care of my Bernese Mountain Dog. Aaron and Nicole are attentive and caring. I felt at ease leaving Jelly in their care. I’ll definitely book with Aaron and Nicole again.”
“My Kingsley had a great time with Kelly over this past weekend. It was Kingsleys first time with her and by the end he was a part of the family. She did a very thorough and welcoming interview with me and really made me feel like Kingsley was getting individual care from her. Her dog is so friendly and welcoming and the pictures and updates were just what I needed. We will be coming back!”
“I'm so thankful to have found Sarah to help care for my senior boy! When I arrived to pick him up from his stay with her, he was so relaxed that he was sleeping in the middle of her living room floor as normal life was happening around him and didn't even hear me come in. I will definitely be using Sarah any other time I need to travel and Hank needs a place to stay.”
“Kristen is amazing! Our puppy was extremely happy and well cared for with Kristen. He had lots of outdoor playtime in her yard and doggy pool. Kristen sent lots of pictures and updates, which put us at ease during our dog’s first trip. Kristen is very warm, friendly, and extremely caring. Probably why our dog enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Erin was wonderful all around. My boy was well-loved and definitely a happy camper. She was flexible and went above and beyond to keep me posted and care for him. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“Kilo had the best vacation stay with April & Rachel (Aliyah & Honey too). He was so happy and came home exhausted!! He needed a day of RnR from his stay. Now for my personal review. Now that I have met April & Rachel, I would not take Kilo any place else to watch our boy. I felt so comfortable after our meet & greet with the living arrangements and with the humans watching over him. I knew he would be treated like a king and in good safe hands. I didn’t have to worry about him the whole time I was gone. April & Rachel sent us photos/videos of Kilo so that I could see first hand how he was doing. He was getting the love and attention (even more than when he is at home) and this made us very happy. It’s nice to know he’s in great hands when we are away. April & Rachel will be my first call for my next trip and I would recommend them for your pups too. 🐶 🐾”
“Megan was a delight to work with. She was prompt with replies and kept me updated on how Frankie was doing through text and pictures! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future!”
“My dog had such a good time staying with Brittany and her family. She is so organized and you can tell how much she genuinely loves dogs! She is great at communication and answers texts very quickly. Loved the daily photos and messages. We have already booked my dog’s next visit with her!”
“This was first time leaving my dog with Wendy and Dave and we had a great experience. They were so kind and loving with my baby while I was away. He had a great time and we would definitely use Wendy again. I highly recommend!”
“Melanie was so wonderful to our dog, Indy. She treated her just like she was apart of her family. Even on last minute notice - she kept Indy for a few extra days! We will be boarding with Melanie for all future needs.”
“Christina and her kids took such great care of our dogs Sophie and Tucker. They were happy when we picked them up and came home and both crashed. They were so tired! Christina followed our directions on feeding the dogs to a tee. She or her kids were home with the dogs the whole time. I am so glad our dogs got to spend a significant time with her! I would highly recommend her!”
“Karly and Emily have done a phenomenal job at watching my fur baby. It was my first time leaving him and they made me feel so comfortable. They send lots of pictures and always gave me updates on him. They were great about giving him physical activity as well. When I dropped him off they were so kind and excited to meet my pup. Will definitely be taking him back to them anytime I go out of town. Best dog sitters!”
“Danielle was awesome with our pups! They were clearly excited and rightfully spoiled during the holidays. Felt comfortable and at ease having the dogs with her especially with the regular updates. She followed all instructions well and without issue especially for older dog. Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“I am so happy with the care Sarge received!! He’s little and old and I was nervous to leave him, but Kristin was kind and accommodating of his picky eating habits, and sent lovely updates. Absolutely will look to them again for our next trip!!!”
