“Shardae was amazing! I had so much anxiety going out of town and leaving my boys with a stranger, however, Shardae provided updates and pictures DAILY! She even picked them up from my house because I was running behind. I will definitely use her services again.”
“My older dog went to his second stay with Beverly over the holidays. When we got there for drop off my dog was SO EXCITED to see Beverley and that was such a reassuring thing to see :-) I knew my dog was in good hands while I was away, Beverly is extremely experienced with dogs and he was in great hands with her. I’ll definitely be booking her again and I highly recommend Beverly, thanks!!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Charlotte while we were away, and even helped correct her leash pulling—which was such a pleasant surprise! Charlotte clearly had the best time, especially playing with Maple, Emily’s sweet dog. It’s clear Emily truly cares about the dogs she watches, and she treated Charlotte like her own. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a loving and attentive sitter!”

“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”

“Noreen was the best!! This was my first time using Rover she was able to accommodate me when I needed to move by booking one day prior due to my flight details!! She made my 11yr old feel at ease with leaving our precious Dexter in her care. Her communication was great anytime I asked a question she responded immediately. She also kept us up to date with pictures and details on how he was doing. When I picked Dexter up he smelled like warm gingerbread cookies I could tell he enjoyed himself. Will book her in the future.”

“We are so grateful to have found Jeanne to care for our dog, Luglio. From the very beginning, she was warm, responsive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease while we were away, sending regular updates and the sweetest photos that showed just how happy and relaxed Luglio was in her care. Jeanne went above and beyond to make sure Luglio felt at home, giving him plenty of love, walks, and attention. It was obvious she treated him like one of her own. He came back to us happy, calm, and well cared for—exactly what every dog parent hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jeanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving dog sitter!”
“Best dog sitters ever!! We just moved to the area and were very nervous about finding a new sitter. April and Nathan are so warm and friendly, and obviously big dog lovers. They sent lots of updates and the dogs came home spoiled and exhausted. It was like leaving them with family. ❤️”

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 had cats for over 11 years! I have had experience with cats of all ages, from kittens to older cats. From a young age I have always loved cats and was even the one feeding the strays around the neighborhood. I give the flee medicine to our cats every month and have assisted with cleaning the litter and, if necessary bathing the cats.
“Zakiya was great and responsive from the initial request to being accommodating with my travel. I really appreciated her empathy towards pets and their behaviors. She was good with sending photos & updates daily and put together a daily log of food times, etc. Highly recommend!”
About: I love cats and deeply feel connected to them. I understand their body language and respect their way of being independent as most cats are known to want their space at times.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every cat has a unique personality. I have experience caring for anxious and shy cats, and I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining both traditional and robotic litter boxes, and using systems like the Litter Genie to keep litter areas clean and fresh. I follow each cat's routine closely and provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your cat is receiving attentive, compassionate care while you're away.
“Melisa was, in a word, AMAZING. We scheduled drop-in visits with her to keep an eye on our cat Clementine and Melisa wrote detailed updates for us and sent us a ton of photos, which we loved. We had a pee-incident on the couch that Melisa took in stride (thank you so much, again) and she really went above and beyond, helping put enzymatic cleaner on our couch so that the cat urine didn't just sit for two weeks, popping our mail inside and also keeping an eye on my plants. Stellar sitter and is 100% our go-to person from now on. Thanks again, Melisa!”
About: I’ve had my cat for 3 years now. He’s given me the experience of cleaning cat litter boxes, bathing him, and learning what he prefers to eat. Before him I once took in 2 neighborhood kittens and syringe fed them milk and cared for them for about 2 months.
“My cat is very shy and slow to adapt to new environments, so I'm grateful Aileen could spare him the stress of boarding while I was away. Aileen did a great job and I'll be looking to rebook for any future needs.”
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!
“Marquise stayed at my place to take care of my two cats while I was out of town. He had a very calm and loving demeaner and was able to coax both cats out of hiding the first time he was over, which has never happened with anyone!!! I was very grateful for the updates and happy to hear that the shy skittish cat warmed up and let him pet her. I was fully expecting the other cat to mark his territory, which he always does when I'm away, but apparently he felt comfortable enough with Marquise that he didn't pee on anything! It was so nice to know that my cats and my home were being taken care of and took a lot off my mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Marquise!”
About: Expert dog care with a fun, playful touch! With experience and personalized attention, I treat every pup like my own! Tail wags guaranteed. Book today! I run my own business and call my own shots, I'm available 24 -7 to care for your dog. Want a schedule a sleepover? Not a problem: outside, inside, in a crate, on the bed or couch....it's all good!! I have a house with a fenced yard, or I can stay at yours! Walks are not a problem. Take them to the dog park? Ok!! How about the dog beach? Would love to! Just let me know!
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
About: I have had many dogs and I am an animal lover. I currently have one dog who is very friendly. I volunteered at the local animal shelter for a while and took dog walking classes. My daughter is studied animal science in college. I learn from her as well. I’m responsible and loving to all animals. My dogs have been very well cared for. I care for animals as if they are children and I am passionate about animal welfare. I am home all day so I have time to look after the animals. My house is very dog friendly and full of love. My yard is fully fenced and clean and full of dog toys. You will be very happy with my services and your dog will too! Hope to be a regular part of your dogs life. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your dogs needs. Also I want to add that I’m close to the airport so if you’re traveling from LAX I’m right on the way! It would be a great convenience! Please no dogs over 65lbs. I may occasionally go out for lunch or to get food. I spend lots of time playing and engaging with the pets here. Play time is supervised. Please set your drop off and pick up times within a one hour time frame. Be on time for drop offs and pick ups. Dogs should have a collar or harness on. Play time in my large backyard with music and toys. We do bubbles, water play for the select few who like water and lots of fetch for good exercise. I provide great pictures that can be cherished for years to come. My backyard is fully fenced.
About: I have owned 2 dogs in the past, one dog for 9 years and the second dog for about 2-3 years and I'm really good at playing with them, getting their fur to shine when dirty. I always care for the dog when something seems or is wrong. Your dog will always receive love and affection from me to have the greatest time of their lives. When it comes to walking the dog, the walk is never rushed I always give the dog the time to do what they need to do, that or just get a exercise with them as we're bonding. I love all sized dogs, sizes from really small dogs to medium sized to big or really big dogs, all sized dogs all always welcomed.

“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us.

Updates with photos and messages made me feel at ease while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them! I grew up with a loving family dog, which taught me the importance of patience, care, and understanding a pup’s unique personality. Now, as a young adult, I have my own sweet dog who is almost 2 years old. I know firsthand what it takes to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I work from home Monday through Friday, which means I’m available throughout the day to care for your pup. From playtime to outdoor walks, I’ll be there to keep them happy, active, and comfortable whenever they need me! Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m always nearby to meet their needs. I also live in a safe, pet-friendly residential area with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces, making walks both enjoyable and secure. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like family while they’re in my care! My dog is also crate trained, potty trained and gentle.

About: Hi, I’m Derick! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been actively helping care for pets through our family’s pet care business. I assist with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in our home. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide individualized care. Because there is almost always someone home, dogs receive plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing fetch, and helping pets feel relaxed and at home while their families are away. My goal is simple: to treat every dog like they’re part of the family and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. One thing that makes our home special is that someone is always home! I’m home full time this summer, both of my parents are retired, and my youngest sibling is 15 and home for the summer as well. Whether it’s me or another member of my family, your pup will always have company, plenty of love, and attentive care. We make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family🏠🐾❤️ Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are at the heart of everything we do. ❤️ Someone is always home whether it’s me or one of my family members so your dog will always have loving company and attentive care. We closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, mealtimes, and rest to make sure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and right at home. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor fun, and we’re lucky to live right next to a park for enjoyable walks and extra sniffing adventures! On hot days, we keep everyone cool inside our home, with plenty of breaks outside as needed. We treat every dog like they’re part of our family, giving them lots of love, attention, and cuddles while making sure they feel comfortable throughout their stay. 🏡🐾💕

“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”
“Booked Gabrielle last min and she was quick and responsive! She was very sweet, took two (big dogs) on a solid walk and sent pics. She was easy to work with and communicated/replied quick! Will definitely book again!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, looking after my own pets and neighbor's dog when they're out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it be my own or a neighbor's, l've always gone above and beyond to ensure that the animal is well taken care of. I will make sure your dog gets the specific attention and care that they need, and they have an enjoyable experience. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. Sparky is the reason behind it all. He showed me a love I can’t even fully put into words, loyal, pure, and unconditional. He wasn’t just my dog, he was my comfort, my routine, and a piece of my heart. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, and there are still moments I feel that emptiness so deeply. But at the same time, he gave my life so much meaning and showed me exactly the kind of care and love every dog deserves. Because of Sparky, I’m more patient, more understanding, and more intentional with every dog I care for. I know how much they mean to you, because I know what it feels like to love a dog with your whole heart. A part of him lives on in everything I do, in every walk, every cuddle, and every moment I spend making sure your babies feel safe and loved. I am a dedicated dog sitter with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, allowing me to offer drop in appointments on any day that works best for you. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. I will also send you lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay or towards the end of the visit(s) For safety, I also ask that you provide emergency contact details and your preferred veterinarian's information.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I've cared for pets much larger than myself and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I have experience giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure each pet's individual needs are met. I'm also experienced with reactive dogs, as well as anxious dogs and cats. I understand the importance of staying calm, reading body language, and creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Communication is a priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am fully available during the summer months (June through August), which allows me to provide flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. During the school year, I work in a school-based setting, so I am available in the evenings and most weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable care, exercise, and affection. For the comfort and safety of pets, I primarily provide care in the client’s home. This helps pets stay in their familiar environment and reduces stress, especially for dogs that may be anxious or reactive. I do live in a back house where the property owners have three small dogs, so for safety and to ensure a calm environment, I prefer not to introduce new dogs into that space. I am open to cat boarding on a case-by-case basis. I also have a strictly indoor cat in my home who is well-adjusted and calm around other animals. I am available for overnight stays and in-home care, and I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while following owner instructions closely.
About: I have experience with Rottweilers, Cane Corso, and French Bulldogs. I rescued my frenchie about 4 years ago when he was a 1 year old. He has given me experience in bathroom cleanup, vet visits, grooming, playtime, feeding, etc. I also have some experience with fostering a second dog while living with him. I am currently a full time student with extra time but not enough for a full time job. Caring for pets sounds like a fulfilling job for me. I have a genuine love for all pets and care for them all equally. I have experience with aqua life, reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles, cats, and of course dogs.
About: What sets me apart is honestly my genuine love for animals. It started when I was around 12 years old when I got my very first dog, and ever since then I completely fell in love with caring for animals. Over time, my family and I adopted more dogs. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to personally care for and babysit their dogs over the years. Sometimes I’ll stop by throughout the day to check on their pups, feed them, play with them, and make sure they’re doing okay, while other times their dogs have stayed at my house for a few days or even a few weeks. Having so many pets has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and understanding different animal personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for many different kinds of animals growing up, including fish, hamsters, lizards, and birds, so I’ve learned a lot about caring for all types of pets. My own dogs have also had litters of puppies before, which taught me so much about caring for newborn puppies and younger dogs. Because of that, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I truly see animals as family, and I love making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I already spend a lot of my time around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently work part-time only on weekends, but my hours and availability are very flexible since I basically make my own schedule. That allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets are supervised, cared for closely, and treated like family in a clean and calm environment. In a client’s home, I always follow their instructions carefully and try to keep their pet’s normal routine so they can feel relaxed and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have experience taking care my own, friends’, and Rover dogs of all sizes and personalities by feeding, walking, training, and house sitting. Having owned my own large dog, I know the privilege and responsibility required to care and love your buddy. I am open to any special needs or care your dogs may require and am happy to work with your agenda. Growing up in a household with two cats and two dogs, I am more than happy to accommodate both types of pets! :) I work full-time schedule during the week, so my dedicated pet-sitting days are my priority during my time off. I treat my days off as fully committed 'pet days,' allowing me to focus on consistent routines and care for your pet. On my sitting days, my routine is completely centered around the animals in my care. A typical day includes structured morning and evening walks, dedicated playtime, and maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules. Because I value an active and healthy lifestyle, I love incorporating pets into my own daily movement for morning walks, a midday stroll, or active play sessions to keep them stimulated and happy. I also enjoy watching YouTube and Netflix, so if your pet prefers relaxing or feeling tired that day, I am happy to put on a show as well. I am excited to give the structure, exercise, and love your pet needs to feel comfortable and enjoy our time together. I am hoping to care for pets in your home, because I find it keeps them happiest and reduces any stress. By blending seamlessly into your pet’s routine and environment for feeding, exercise, and bedtime, I can keep them active, healthy, and stimulated with structured walks and plenty of dedicated playtime. Of course, I’ll treat your home with respect and security, making sure to send regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've been caring for my dogs since I was just a child and have always felt a deep connection to animals. I used to do dog walking for some time and have volunteered in a grooming location as well. You can be certain your furry friend will receive the best care with me! I currently stay at home with my son so I have a pretty open schedule. In the afternoon we go for walks in our neighborhood so we'd love to bring your pup along on a walk with us! We have a front and backyard which are both enclosed with a gate. It's pretty spacious so we'd definitely have a good time. At the moment I don't have a pet of my own- we recently lost our girl due to age at 15 years old. She was such a sweet girl and we loved her dearly. We hope to adopt another one in the near future, but for now I'd like to take care of other babies. You can be confident that your dog will be provided with my best attention. Maintaining his or her routine, such as feeding schedules, will also be my top priority.

“Shardae was amazing! I had so much anxiety going out of town and leaving my boys with a stranger, however, Shardae provided updates and pictures DAILY! She even picked them up from my house because I was running behind. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Charlotte while we were away, and even helped correct her leash pulling—which was such a pleasant surprise! Charlotte clearly had the best time, especially playing with Maple, Emily’s sweet dog. It’s clear Emily truly cares about the dogs she watches, and she treated Charlotte like her own. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a loving and attentive sitter!”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
“Best dog sitters ever!! We just moved to the area and were very nervous about finding a new sitter. April and Nathan are so warm and friendly, and obviously big dog lovers. They sent lots of updates and the dogs came home spoiled and exhausted. It was like leaving them with family. ❤️”
“Annie was awesome with our Mr. Mushnik. She was patient and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable in her home. I also loved that she communicated throughout his stay and helped ease any worry. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again!”
“Christy was great! She made Barry White feel right at home. We were able to enjoy ourselves at our event and rest easy knowing he was in loving hands. Thanks Christy and Patrick!!”
“Biscuit had a great time during his stay with Kim! Kim was very responsive and always quick to answer! And the photos she provided of Biscuit throughout the week were greatly appreciated!”
“Bon Bon had a wonderful stay with Lianna and her family. They were great & kept her safe and she was happy during the stay. She bonded well with Lianna's dogs too which is great. Highly recommended for great care and attention for your pups!”
“This is my first time using Rover and Brittany was wonderful!! She communicated with me, sent pictures & videos during the entire time of taking care of my fur baby Jax. I highly recommend Brittany and will book with her again!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Winter!!! Shiyibin was a fantastic sitter and Winter had an amazing time with her and her two cats. She was extremely communicative, often sharing multiple pictures and updates of Winter throughout the week. I could not have asked for a better person to keep my dog and I will definitely reach out to her again when I go out of town and have to leave my fur baby!”
“Melanie is a star rover! We’ve been using Rover for our two dogs for the past four years and she’s hands-down the best one we’ve met. She’s communicative & sends updates on the dogs regularly: what they did, how much they walked, if there was anything concerning that we needed to know of, etc. She even takes our dogs on neighborhood walks & pack hikes which is so amazing. They always come back tired & happy :) You can tell she loves what she does & has a lot of experience with animals! Our dogs barely want to come home after staying with her, they love hanging out with her & her family!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my Aussie, Miya! From the very start, Brandie made Miya feel so comfortable and loved. Miya can sometimes take a little while to adjust, but she settled in so quickly — which really shows how kind, patient, and caring Brandie is. I really appreciated how consistent Brandie was with sending updates and photos throughout Miya’s stay. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Miya looked every single day. Brandie was also super responsive and always made sure to keep me in the loop, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear Brandie genuinely loves what she does and treats every dog like her own. I’m so happy Miya found someone she adores — and I’m already looking forward to booking with Brandie again. Truly one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had!”
“This was my first time using Rover to find a dog sitter so I was a little nervous about leaving my elderly dog Gidget with a complete stranger, but I could not have had a better experience. David communicated really well and during the four days I was out of town, he sent photos and updates that really put my mind at ease. If I ever use Rover again, I’ll definitely check to see if David is available first.”
“Tyler and Patricia took very good care of my 5 year old Shiba Inu. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their care. They kept me posted about their activities and kind enough to send me pictures of my baby being completely pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend them and will definitely bring Hachi back to them very soon!”
“Lacey did a great job with our almost 5 year old lab mix. She sent photos and our little Lady came home happy and tired. Will definitely work with Lacey again!”
“Sylwia is an amazing sitter. This was Pico’s second time staying with her, and for an extended period of time. She was so caring and always goes above and beyond to play, walk, and even gave him a bath! Would recommend her anytime. I’m sure Pico is already excited to stay with her again!”
“Stephanie was great! Wonderful communication and prompt responses. She sent lots of photos throughout our dogs stay which made us feel very comfortable and happy. This was our first Rover and Wes can be difficult, so we really appreciate all the care and love Stephanie gave him!”
