“My 3 babies really enjoyed their time with Shaela! I didn't feel worried about leaving them in her care. She took great care of them and I won't hesitate to have them stay with her again in the future.”
“Megan was wonderful! She watched over my pup for a week while I was visiting family, and safe to say he felt right at home with her! I will definitely be using her services again for any trips we go on!”
“Michelle and Devin were great with Trixie and Zeke. They sent pictures and kept me updated on their daily activities! My dogs were comfortable and had a lot of fun! Thank you both for taking care of my babies while I was away.”
“This was the second stay for my pup. Nichole sent me pictures of my pup everyday and let me know how my pup was doing. I am so glad to know that my pup is really enjoying staying Nichole's home. After my pup came home, she slept all day long! It was a good sign that she spent all her energy to play! I am so glad! Thank you, Nichole!”
“Dolores was absolutely amazing and exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we dropped off our pets, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout their stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she went above and beyond. The welcome sign when we arrived and the pick-up treats when we came home were such a thoughtful touch and showed the level of care she puts into every pet she watches. Our pets were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I honestly think they didn’t even want to come home! If you’re looking for someone who is great with pets, dependable, attentive, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional pet care, Dolores is the person to book. We will definitely be booking with Dolores again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
“Don took really good care of my dog Apollo. Apollo had plenty space to run around and get his energy out. Don has really good communication and was very professional. Highly recommended and Apollo will be back again!”
“Patricia is so amazing and sweet. She really helped us out this weekend and let us pick up our dogs later because we got stuck in bad snow weather. Good for our peace of mind, our dogs are always so happy.”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”
“Courtney went above and beyond taking care of our dog. She even clipped his nails, expressed his glands, and gave him a full bath before pickup, which we really appreciated. Our pup can be pretty picky, high-maintenance, and honestly a bit spoiled, but she took such great care of him. He usually doesn’t do well with other dogs, but Courtney clearly understands dog behavior and body language. She carefully managed his interactions and helped him slowly become more comfortable around the other dogs—he even ended up playing with them! She also kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so glad we found her, and it really looked like he had so much fun during his stay. We highly recommend Courtney and would absolutely ask her to watch him again the next time we go out of town!”
“Bentley was so excited to return to Jennifer’s and had a wonderful time while we were away. Jennifer is very attentive, communicative, and has been the best to our sweet boy. Thank you Jennifer for everything you do for our pup!”
“I can't praise Ashlie and Shiloh enough. We got updates and pictures of our Rottweiler Athena every day. They took care of her and made sure she got plenty of exercise and belly rubs. Being a bigger dog most people are scared and don't know how to handle her but all they say was a silly dog who loves to play and gives kisses. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch our rottie.”
“Courtney is amazing. She is a true dog lover. I was kept up to date on Rocket’s stay with daily pictures and texts. He had such a good time that he was sad to go.”
“Donna is awesome and caring dog sitter. She always keeped me posted on my little dog. She is a reliable which what I I diffenatly like. I will reschedule a booking again in the future. I give her high remarks. Besides my dog loves her.”

She kept us updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures, and was always so kind in our conversations and quick to respond. I'm so happy we found her on Rover, I know Walter will be so happy to visit her again!! :)”
“Korina is simply awesome, she took exceptional care of Tofu. The best thing I loved is the picture updates about Tofu and his amazing time during his stay. I would recommend her for sure, and I couldn’t think of a better sitter than her.”
“Eileen and Michael are the best. We had never left our little Winston with anyone and they took such great care of him. Like he was their own puppy. They were wonderful and amazing..”

About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask. I have a dog and cat of my own, your pup will be treated like they are part of the family. The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.
About: I have owned animals since I was a child. I have my own dog and I love her more than anything. I want to become more involved with taking care of animals and adding joy into their lives. I only work 3 days a week right now at a treatment facility. I have a lot of free time and want to spend it doing what I love which is being around animals. I love walking and enjoy taking pets with me. Anytime I am watching TV or reading a book I ensure the animals around me feel included and safe. Snuggles are the best I have extra time on the weekends and can make time during the week for pet sitting. I want to find time to do what I love. I make sure that they have plenty of attentions while I am there and are e never alone too long and never do without anything they need. I like to make sure they feel extra taken care of since being away from their human(s) is already hard enough.
About: I am a female that is not new to good ol' quality work! I have had dogs my whole life and had my last "partner in crime" for 16 years. I have had all kinds of different dogs from a macho weiner dog to a gentle great dane. Size does not matter when it comes to taking great care of your furry family member! I also had a Golden retriever that had thyroid issues and had to take medications daily, so i am comfortable with administrating meds if necessary. I am a fun loving adventurous person that would love to take the time to walk or hang out with your pet. I do strongly believe that our pets are part of the family and will treat your's as apart of MY family! I am trying to build my clientele and do my dream job of working with pets. I am open all times during the daytime weekday hours to play with your furry baby. I care for my pets at home with lots of love and patience. I have a pitbull terrier and a weiner dog. Both that I rescued.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our newly sick cat. Our cat was diagnosed with gastroenteritis a week prior to us leaving on a long trip. Kaitlyn followed instructions diligently and administered all her meds which for our cat is quite the challenge. She’s great! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve worked with cats of all personalities—shy, sassy, playful, and everything in between. I understand that every cat has their own comfort zone, so I take time to build trust, move at their pace, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, medication, litter box maintenance, and keeping a clean, calm environment that cats love. What Sets Me Apart: • I’m patient and gentle with anxious or shy cats, giving them space while still providing attentive care. • I’m great at reading feline behavior—knowing when they want affection, playtime, or quiet time. • I keep owners updated with clear communication, photos, and notes every visit so you feel confident your cat is happy. • I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, which is especially important for cats. • I can care for kittens, adult cats, and seniors, including administering basic medications if needed.
“Khalid was amazing with my three pups. They were immediately drawn to him when they met. My pups very much enjoyed their time with Khalid. Gave me peace of mind knowing that they are under his care. Khalid is professional and provides excellent service. Thank you!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ellicott
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and sizes, from senior lap dogs to large, high-energy breeds. Our home currently includes a sweet 16-year-old Shih Tzu and an 80-pound Griffon, so we’re very comfortable balancing different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and care needs. What sets us apart is the environment we provide. We’re not just offering a place to stay, dogs get a calm, loving home with plenty of space to safely explore, play, sniff, relax, and feel part of the family. We understand that every dog is different, and we adapt to their comfort level, whether they’re an energetic adventurer or a couch cuddler who just wants a quiet place to nap. We’re especially attentive to communication, routines, and making pet parents feel confident while they’re away. Pets are already a central part of our daily life, so welcoming additional dogs into our routine feels natural. Our days already revolve around walks, feeding schedules, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and making sure our own dogs are happy and comfortable. Because I work from home and wespend a lot of time at home as a family, dogs receive consistent supervision, companionship, and interaction throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. We also have the flexibility to accommodate different exercise needs, potty schedules, and slower-paced senior routines when needed. Weekends are especially great for dogs here, with lots of outdoor time, relaxed family energy, and room to roam. Creating a safe, low-stress environment is our top priority. Dogs in our care are treated like part of the family and are always supervised appropriately based on temperament, age, and energy level. Our property provides plenty of space for dogs to play and explore safely while still having access to comfortable indoor areas to rest and decompress. Since we have experience with both senior dogs and large breeds, we understand the importance of introductions, boundaries, pacing, and reading dog behavior carefully. We keep communication open and proactive with pet parents and are happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout each stay. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, exercised, and genuinely at home while you’re away.
“Pat made a last-minute booking easy and stress-free by being flexible and responsive. From drop-off to pick-up, our girls were clearly comfortable and had a great time — we could tell they were well looked after. Pat kept us updated with messages, and handled everything professionally. We appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine care shown to our dogs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, communicative sitter.”
“Dolores was truly so kind and welcoming to our baby boy Pine. It was our first time having a sitter and as all parents we worried quite a bit. Dolores kept us updated very frequently with pictures and messages. Pine had a great time with her and her family. We are looking forward to Pine’s next day out!”
About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
“Jennifer provided excellent doggy daycare for our 6 month old puppy. Our pup was excited to go each day, which shows she had a great time. Jennifer had great communication and provided frequent updates. Overall, she made me feel so comfortable, and we will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable medical knowledge and the ability to handle pets with care, confidence, and calmness—even in stressful situations. I’ve spent my whole life caring for cats, dogs and ferrets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, giving meds, or just keeping pets happy and safe while their owners are away, I always treat them like my own. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands. I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and consistent care. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and benefit from a calm, predictable routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. • Secure, fully fenced backyard • Always supervised outdoor time • Quiet, safe neighborhood with great walking paths • Experience managing multiple dogs calmly and safely
“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”
“Ana and her family were so very sweet and made me feel comfortable since I was new to rover I was a bit nervous. Junior was well taken care of and I was sent pics during the day that reassured me of his comfort and safety. Thank you again we will use your services again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We do host up to four pets at a time so there could be a chance that your pet would have a playmate during their stay.
“I appreciated Erica’s willingness to book daycare last minute. She took great care of Rosie and provided a safe place for her to hang out with people. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Erica again. Thanks for taking care of Rosie.”
“Mei was very accommodating for me on short notice and took great care of my girl! Oakley and Mei’s dog Stella got along splendidly and she had a great time. I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again. Thank you so much!!”
About: We are a Christian family, and our home is filled with warmth, structure, and a loving environment for every pet that stays with us. With over 30 years of experience caring for pets since childhood, we’ve consistently cared for dogs of friends and family of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, and providing both active play and calm, structured care. Being home throughout the day allows me to give consistent attention and supervision, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Your dog won’t just be sitting around—we love keeping pets active and engaged! A typical day includes outdoor playtime, walks (for dogs who enjoy them), and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. We also make sure there’s plenty of time to rest and relax so your dog feels comfortable and at home. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe outdoor play and exercise. We also have a young, medium-sized dog who is very friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs.

“Carrie and her husband did such a great job with our dogs. They were both exhausted and very content when I picked them up and provided great photos of their day together.”
“Michelle is amazing! She welcomed us enthusiastically with very little notice ( the night before needing care when we were in a bind). Michelle arranged a met n greet right away, and although our pup was shy with Michelle at first, our pup came away from doggy daycare with new forever friends! Michelle made our pup feel like she was a well-loved little queen! If Michelle is willing to work with us in the future, we plan to have her caring for our pets regularly. I told Michelle that she is a gem! And she is just that - a rare gem and a kind soul! Michelle cares for her clients pets as if they are her own. Highly recommend Michelle!”

We are always visiting Bear Creek Dog Park, and you will likely find us playing in the creek in the fenced area or taking a leashed walk around the loop. Or, if your pet would like to join us for a mid-day walk while you are having a busy day, we'd be happy to have them come along!

(Rip Pumpkin) I make sure the food bowl is full 2 times a day because my son doesnt like seeing the bottom. I make sure to check the litter box and water every single day to make sure theres no blowouts and that things are kept clean. I will play with him for a solid 2 hours at least a day (hes very large) and then he gets lap cuddles almost all day.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I travel frequently, so having my own pet has been hard to say yes to. But my friends semi-regularly ask me to stay at their houses to watch their animals for them, often times a week or more. I work remotely with little personal commitments in life, so it makes it easy for me to watch animals while working. When it fits with my schedule, I find enjoyment in watching animals.

My household has a fenced in yard and I live in a neighborhood where I can walk your dog as well.
About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in both training and care environments, including assisting with board-and-train programs under a professional trainer. This work gave me exposure to structured obedience training, leash handling, and managing dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have also worked with higher-drive dogs, including bitesport and working-line dogs, where clear communication, calm handling, and consistency are essential. This experience taught me how important structure, patience, and reading a dog’s body language are in building trust and maintaining safety. In addition to training environments, I have experience with everyday dog care such as walking, feeding, basic obedience reinforcement, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and balanced while their owners are away. My focus is always on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and understood while providing owners with reliable, attentive care. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. I plan my days around bookings so I can be consistent, reliable, and fully present for each pet in my care. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while in their home environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and care preferences. For drop-ins, I ensure pets are cared for, have fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention before leaving. For walks, I focus on safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting the walk to the dog’s needs and energy level. I treat every home with respect and understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s pet.
About: I love all dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I walk my dog every day and provide a clean safe environment at my home. I work part-time from home so I am usually always home. I live in Woodman Hills. I have a doggie door, fenced yard and love to spend time with dogs. I am available almost anytime to watch your dog. I work part-time from home and have plenty of time to watch after your dog and play with them. I have a clean safe fenced back yard and can also crate a dog if necessary. I keep the dogs inside with me except for them playing and potty breaks.
“Parker walked my dog for five days while I was out of town. Parker was so flexible and even changed when he walked my dog to better fit my dog’s schedule. He responded quickly to messages and always gave thorough updates on how my dog was during the walk! I will be using Parker again whenever I need a dog walker or sitter!”
About: I love making new animal friends! I'll take care of them just the same as you would. Rest assured and relax knowing your family members are taken care of. I've had my own pets since I was a child and have helped rehab and re-home young and old pups and kittens. Pet care is my only job right now which gives me more time with your animals. I know things come up unexpectedly so I also accept same day bookings and cancellations. I can provide any care your pet may require. From a casual drop in to a detailed care plan, I'm more than happy to go with your flow.
About: Not much that sets me apart besides the fact that I have ADHD which means I hyper focus on things and will just hyper focus on the things that your pet needs/wants. And since I am able to do that with the combination of my experience with my own pets your pets will love to stay with me. Pet care is my full-time focus. Because I don't have a traditional 9-to-5, my schedule is completely flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day medication dose, extra-long walks, or just someone home for consistent companionship, I am available to provide undivided attention and quick responses throughout the day. I provide a "home away from home" experience rooted in consistency. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with a routine that mirrors their own. When visiting your home, I prioritize security and cleanliness, ensuring your pet feels safe in their natural habitat. Regardless of the location, I maintain your specific feeding, exercise, and medical schedules with 100% precision, supplemented by frequent photo updates and plenty of one on one attention.

About: I have a 7 year old Husky who loves everybody and all dogs who is looking for new friends! Him and I love to go on walks/hikes and we are looking for new doggies to tag along with us on our walks on my days off! I work full-time as a nurse at the children’s hospital here so I work 3 days a week and spend my free time on my days off playing with my dog and taking him on walks/hikes. I would love to incorporate other doggies into our walks and daily routines outside of my normal nursing job! I have a front and back yard where I take my own dog out to go potty. I also have a back deck where your dog will enjoy spending time outside with my dog when we are home. I live in a house with lots of space for your dog to explore, play, and roam!
About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as taking care of pets of my own for as long as I can remember. I pride myself on providing a safe, fun, exciting, loving, enrichment filled environment experience for all the animals I take care of. Also, I prefer to go by Ash! I couldn’t find anywhere in the profile to add that in so putting it here :) I am self-employed so I create my own schedule. Thankfully, this provides me with lots of open availability and an easier time changing my schedule if needed. I have two kitties of my own at home, as well as a jumping spider. I provide them with lots of enrichment, love, and care. Although I can’t bring in any other animals into my home, I have experience with pet sitting in other homes and will treat them with the utmost care and love.

“My 3 babies really enjoyed their time with Shaela! I didn't feel worried about leaving them in her care. She took great care of them and I won't hesitate to have them stay with her again in the future.”
“Megan was wonderful! She watched over my pup for a week while I was visiting family, and safe to say he felt right at home with her! I will definitely be using her services again for any trips we go on!”
“Michelle and Devin were great with Trixie and Zeke. They sent pictures and kept me updated on their daily activities! My dogs were comfortable and had a lot of fun! Thank you both for taking care of my babies while I was away.”
“This was the second stay for my pup. Nichole sent me pictures of my pup everyday and let me know how my pup was doing. I am so glad to know that my pup is really enjoying staying Nichole's home. After my pup came home, she slept all day long! It was a good sign that she spent all her energy to play! I am so glad! Thank you, Nichole!”
“Don took really good care of my dog Apollo. Apollo had plenty space to run around and get his energy out. Don has really good communication and was very professional. Highly recommended and Apollo will be back again!”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”
“Courtney went above and beyond taking care of our dog. She even clipped his nails, expressed his glands, and gave him a full bath before pickup, which we really appreciated. Our pup can be pretty picky, high-maintenance, and honestly a bit spoiled, but she took such great care of him. He usually doesn’t do well with other dogs, but Courtney clearly understands dog behavior and body language. She carefully managed his interactions and helped him slowly become more comfortable around the other dogs—he even ended up playing with them! She also kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so glad we found her, and it really looked like he had so much fun during his stay. We highly recommend Courtney and would absolutely ask her to watch him again the next time we go out of town!”
“Bentley was so excited to return to Jennifer’s and had a wonderful time while we were away. Jennifer is very attentive, communicative, and has been the best to our sweet boy. Thank you Jennifer for everything you do for our pup!”
“I can't praise Ashlie and Shiloh enough. We got updates and pictures of our Rottweiler Athena every day. They took care of her and made sure she got plenty of exercise and belly rubs. Being a bigger dog most people are scared and don't know how to handle her but all they say was a silly dog who loves to play and gives kisses. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch our rottie.”
“Courtney is amazing. She is a true dog lover. I was kept up to date on Rocket’s stay with daily pictures and texts. He had such a good time that he was sad to go.”
“Abigail did an amazing job with our Walter! It was like leaving him with family. She kept us updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures, and was always so kind in our conversations and quick to respond. I'm so happy we found her on Rover, I know Walter will be so happy to visit her again!! :)”
“Korina is simply awesome, she took exceptional care of Tofu. The best thing I loved is the picture updates about Tofu and his amazing time during his stay. I would recommend her for sure, and I couldn’t think of a better sitter than her.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Christy! She communicated often and sent lots of pictures! She was also flexible and accommodating with our pick up time. Would definitely book another stay for our dog with her!”
“Amazing pet sitter! She truly go above and beyond, took such great care of my puppy Tofu, very loving and attentive, and kept me updated. I had total peace of mind, and Tofu came home happy. Highly recommend!!!”
“Sarah was great! Our pup came home happy and healthy. She was great at communicating throughout his stay and was flexible with pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend!”
“Sarah was fantastic! Exceptionally kind and was very good with daily update! Highly recommend! Her dog Finn is the perfect playmate even for my exceptionally anxious dog!”
“I have two 60 lbs labradoodles, the complete joy of my life. I work from home and take them on many adventures so when I was looking for a pet sitter to be able to give them the level of attention and play they typically get I knew it would be a challenge. Matt and his wife are a perfect fit!! Their work schedules allow them to be home with the dogs almost always. They were kind, honest, and patient working with me when booking and sent me pictures and updates throughout the week. I could tell Raggy and Stewie were having a great time and fell right in within the new pack. I can’t thank them enough for taking care of my boys while I was away. I will be rebooking! 🫶🫶🫶”
“Such a lovely sitter!! Sam made himself right at home and we received photos throughout his stay which was nice to know that he was enjoying his night and cuddled up in bed. Iolanta has such a sweet dobie and Sam came home and napped for hours. It was a short notice booking and Iolanta was wonderful and set up a video call to meet Sam and I. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!!”
“Laura took great care of my pup! She sent lots of pics and updates of all their activities. It was great knowing he was well cared for while I was away!”
