“Our dog is always happy to stay with Yi Ling and her family! They take great care of him and have excellent communication. When we dropped him off this time, he didn't even tell us goodbye--he was so happy to be there! Thank you, Yi Ling! :)”
“Our Corgi was very well taken care of during his stay with Kyle and Desiree! The daily pictures that were sent showed just how happy and comfortable our guy was while we were gone. We couldn’t have ask for a better experience! We will be sure to have Kyle and Desiree watch our senior guy again when we need a dog sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Delane when she cared for Monet for three days. From the very beginning, during our meet and greet, we genuinely enjoyed our conversation with her. Delane is such a lovely and thoughtful person, and clearly experienced with dogs. Her dog, Lucy, is absolutely sweet and gentle, and Monet and Lucy got along very well. Delane’s home is warm and welcoming, and Monet settled in right away. She kept us updated throughout Monet’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Monet was not only well cared for, but also comfortable. We would happily book with Delane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, warm, and dependable caregiver. Thank you, Delane!!”
“Ben was great with my dog. He shared pictures and updates with me frequently throughout my dog's stay. My dog was well taken care of, and was happy that he got to play with his new friends.”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“So glad we could find a wonderful, loving dog sitter nearby! Kimberly shared photos and updates daily while our dog was in her care. It felt relieving knowing our dog was in great hands. We'll be using her again!”
“Oh my goodness. Sidney was the best person for this job. I have ZERO complaints, or things I think she could have done differently. I had never left my pup before and it was a difficult decision to leave her in Grand Forks for a 10 day trip. Ellie, my dog, is a little aggressive at times, and standoffish to anyone at first. I dropped her off worried and sad, but when I handed my pup over to Sidney, Ellie could tell she was a good person. Sidney slowly introduced her dogs to Ellie once Ellie was used to Sidney, perfect to adjust slowly. And by the end, (even about three days in) Ellie was playing with her two dogs, sleeping and cuddling with them, and just having a blast. It made me rest easy knowing that my dog was safe and happy. Will be booking again if I ever need a sitter. Wonderful dogs and wonderful person. 110% recommend :)”
“Julia is an absolute gem!! 💎 She greeted Kaya at her door and before I even had her bag out, she’d found Kaya’s favorite spot to be petted! I felt so comfortable knowing my girl was with a wonderful pet sitter, it helped make my weekend that much better. The communication was great - the photos and video of her enjoying her best life with Julia’s dog 🐶 and out walking made me smile and know I made the best decision for her. Highly recommend!!”
“Tammy and her son took such great care of Louie! We received daily updates and it was obvious he was getting lots of love and attention. We will definitely work with her again.”
“My pup had a great time with Ashley and Jeremy! They were very quick to respond to messages and provided photos and updates daily. Drop off and pick up were also very easy and Ashley had everything ready to go. Would recommend!”
“Alex took great care of Zoey and was very flexible with last minute plans on coordinating a meet up first and extending Zoey’s stay a few extra days. He was also very receptive to adapting his home and routine to accommodate Zoey’s needs. We’ll definitely have Zoey stay with Alex again in the future.”
“Curtis did a fantastic job boarding our golden doodle. He is very thorough and communicates very well. Our dog was very active during her stay with lots of walks and play time. We received lots of photos and even got report cards. Looking forward to our next stay with Curtis.”
“Amber is great with dogs! She is very calm and in control. She was able to get our dogs to be friendly during introduction even when Guinness was being protective. It seems like Guinness had a great 2 days with Amber and Bubba. Thanks Amber! We will be a repeat customer.”
“Our pup LOVES staying with Laurel. He gets along with the dogs, cat, and kids! Laurel is very responsive and sends a lot of updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brittany is a wonderful dog sitter! My Sonny is a senior Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he was treated like a king! Brittany took great care of Sonny and he looked so happy being with Wookie, Brittany's senior dog. She also sent me great photos while I was traveling so I could see what they were up to. I travel several times a year and I am so glad to find someone I can trust with my old man! I am already booking Brittany for my next adventure!”
“Darcy & her kids took great care of my two pups while I was on vacation. Photos everyday to reassure they were well & very happy pups on return. Thanks for taking good care of them.”
“Felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Charlotte’s care! Received regular updates and lots of photos. Very fast to respond as well which is always comforting. We would be happy to trust our pup with Charlotte any time. Thank you!”

“Amaya took great care of our kitty. She kept the litter box clean and maintained the food and water bowls. She provided our kitty playtime, attention, and outdoor time. She regularly communicated with us through the Rover app. She provided pictures and a brief summary of her visit. Amaya offered suggestions on calming techniques for animals that are left alone. She arranged for a get to know you visit before we left on vacation. I would highly recommend Amaya as a pet sitter. I will reach out to her the next time I go out of town.”
About: I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Years of experience in watching family and friends pets. I cater to you I work Mon-Fri, but do come home at lunch for an hour if I’m boarding at my house. I have weekends off and open availability I have a fenced yard and have friendly playful fur babies too. I will accommodate to medication or dietary needs, we can crate if needed.
About: I understand that with cats, trust is earned—not assumed. I’m patient, observant, and happy to meet them exactly where they are, whether they want attention, space, or to silently judge me from across the room.
About: I have always been around animals, never in my life have I not had a dog. Growing up I volunteered at the local animal shelter walking, training and taking care of the animals there. Once I got my own car I started sitting for friends and family. As a massage therapist I took animal massage courses in school, I am very comfortable handling animals. I love being outdoors and active, I am very excited about being a dog walker. In my home we are very relaxed, allowing our pets lots of room and freedoms to play inside and outside in the fenced yard as well as lounge on the couches and pet beds. We don't use crates or keep animals separated unless instructed by their people, we like for the dogs to be together and play with eachother! That being said, we do have spare rooms for pets that have social anxieties. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! When I work I am home by noon to give potty breaks and lots of love and attention! My back yard is a nice fenced yard for safe play time and potty breaks. I have 2 dogs to keep your furbaby company during their stay. Crates are available if preferred for alone time or night time.
“Sadie was fantastic taking care of our two cats. Both have different health issues and she took great care with the all the specific needs both require. She stayed over the holidays to look after them while we were away and came back to a pair of happy, loved kitties and also a clean home. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Fantastic cat sitter, we feel confident that our kitties are in excellent hands with Kristy when we need to be away from our home & cats. She always goes above & beyond & is so thoughtful & helpful, can not recommend enough! :-)”
“Kieanne watched our cats while we were away on a long trip and took such good care of them!! We hate to leave them for so long but we knew they were in good hands with her!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby, so I grew up wanting more of my own! I currently have one cat and am hoping to convince my partner into letting me get more soon 🥹 so to fill that hole, I’d love to come and watch your kitties at home, board them at mine so my kitty has a friend to play with, or just sit around while your cat gets comfortable around me!
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I have had many different kinds and breeds and have loved spending time with every single one! My husband and I currently live on .5 acres with our best friends, and our three dogs. I think every dog is unique and should be encouraged to be their best selves! I love making home-made healthy treats for all our doggos! I have cared for all ages as well and love me a senior dog. I have always treated my dogs like members of the family and I am dedicated to making sure they have the best life possible! I am currently working part time and will be available all day during the days to play, watch and spend time with all my charges (dogs :)) We have a fully fenced in yard! We have three friendly dogs who absolutely love making new friends. The dogs are always my first priority when it comes to safety.
About: I have cared for cats my entire life, including cats with FLUTD and asthma. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring for symptoms or behavior changes, cleaning litter boxes (including robot litter boxes), and following specific feeding routines and care instructions closely. I understand that cats can have very different personalities and comfort levels, and I always take a calm patient approach to help them feel safe and comfy.
“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”
“Ashley did a great job overall and arrived to my home every day that I needed her there for. Provided me with daily pictures of my pet and gave updates on how much food was eaten which was good to know. Would highly recommend.”

“Ben is awesome! Super responsible, easy to communicate with and has extensive dog training experience. All of which means that we 100% trust him to take care of our dog and also provide enriching activities - leaving us with a tired and v happy dog at the end of the day!”
“Trixie has so much fun going to see Amelia and playing with her 2 dogs. I get pictures throughout the day, and Trixie is so happy and also worn out from playing when I pick her up. Great sitter!”
“Many thanks for your flexibility in accomodating a last minute request for day care. Gumbo had a great time and we did not have to worry about her while we were out. She was pretty stressed out about our leaving until she realized she got to spend to day being treated like a queen by Kyle and Desiree.”
“Helped us when I was in a pinch to find a sitter for an early morning stay and took amazing care of Drax I couldn’t have asked for more ! Felt relieved knowing that he was in good hands while I was away”

I have a doggy door that goes out to my fenced in yard and My whole family will give lots of love to your pet
“Carrie is an incredible host! She is communicative, sends lots of updates, and clearly loves working with and caring for dogs. I feel so grateful knowing that my pup is in good hands.”
“Erin and Sebastian went above and beyond in caring for our pup Percy! We had a last-minute request, and they were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and kind. Throughout the day, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and made sure Percy was entertained and comfortable. With his medical needs, including medication administration, they were attentive and thorough—we could tell he was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely love and care for the animals they look after. If you’re looking for trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitters on Rover, I can’t recommend Erin and Sebastian enough!”
“Pronk had a fabulous time at Marion's. Pronk has separation anxiety and can be weird about being left behind, but she played with Marion's dog Summit *all day* and was all tuckered out when we picked her up :) :) :) Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, but most of my pet care experience comes from my own dog, Tuna. I adopted Tuna in 2014, when he was a year old, and he lived with me for 12 wonderful years until he crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2025. I am becoming a Rover sitter to bring the companionship of a dog back into my life while offering other pet parents the highest level of dedicated care. Through caring for Tuna and my family's dogs over the years, I have extensive experience with all types of dogs, including highly active young adults and seniors requiring specialized care. As a former pet parent, I understand how stressful it is to leave your dog with someone else and trust they will be cared for as you would. I aim to ease that stress with loving, supportive, and dedicated care. I have included more detailed information on my experience below. Senior care: -Experienced in administering daily oral medications and supplements while managing strict dosing schedules. -Familiar with guiding dogs through physical therapy exercises, managing arthritis, and accommodating the slower pace of aging pets. -Experienced in managing complex nutritional needs, including transition care, dehydrated food, and preparing fresh meals from scratch. -Ability to manage specialized routines, including transporting pets to appointments such as veterinary acupuncture or maintaining routines for such appointments. Behavioral needs: -Experienced caring for a highly reactive dog with a history of abuse. -Familiar with reading dog body language, avoiding triggers during walks, and managing anxious or fearful dogs. -Skilled at establishing a calm, low-stress environment for dogs who need extra time to warm up to new people or spaces. Exercise needs: -Well-versed in safely handling dogs while hiking, camping, and swimming in the Colorado outdoors. -Accustomed to providing multiple structured walks a day, tailored to your dog's energy level. Hygiene needs: -Routine experience with monthly bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. I work almost entirely from home Monday through Friday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). While I keep regular work hours, my job offers excellent flexibility. This means your pup won't be left alone; I am readily available throughout the day for potty breaks, neighborhood walks, and dedicated playtime. If your pet requires a specific medication schedule, multiple feedings a day, or extra companionship while you are away, I can seamlessly integrate their routine into my workday. When your pet is with me, they are treated like family. I aim to provide a safe, structured, and deeply affectionate environment so you can have total peace of mind. If they are used to cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed, they are more than welcome to do so. However, I am happy to enforce any house rules and boundaries you already have in place. Overall, I maintain a very clean, organized, and pet-proofed home. All trash cans have lids, plants are kept out of reach, and miscellaneous items are never left out where a dog can reach them. I live in a third-floor apartment with no elevator. My home is best suited for dogs who are fully mobile or small enough to be easily carried, as we will need to navigate two flights of stairs for every outing. My apartment complex features a private dog park and plenty of walking paths. I also have access to a community doggy bathing station, which is perfect if your dog requires bathing while in my care.
“Kyleigh has been so good with our anxious pup Kermit. She spent time getting to know him during a meet and greet and when we brought him back for day care a couple weeks later he pulled me to the door because he was so excited to be there. Kyleigh has been very flexible and laid back in the best way and I can tell that Kermit feels safe around her— and her boyfriend Chris, which is a big deal because Kermit does not typically do well around men. Thanks Kyleigh!”
“George and Abigail are fantastic dog sitters. You can see they really love all dogs. Our dog Luna can be timid, but she gets so excited to go to their house. Her new besties are Mac and Gus, their dogs. She has a great time playing all day. I would highly recommend them for any type of Pet care !”
About: My goal is to give you true peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is safe and well cared for. I provide a loving and fun home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard that’s perfect for playing outside, soaking up the sun, and getting plenty of fresh air. There's also a park nearby for regular walks. Briscoe, my Jack Russell mix, is always excited to make new friends to play tug-of-war with him or chase squirrels in the yard. Inside, there’s always time to unwind with cuddles on the couch after a fun day of activity. Because my work schedule is flexible, dogs are rarely left home alone. And if I do step out, it’s never for long stretches. Your pup will get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay. My work schedule is flexible and my husband works from home 3 days a week. Meaning someone is almost always home to keep the dogs company. As an anxious pet parent, I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can feel to be separated from your dog, so providing peace of mind is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure they get plenty of supervised play, exercise, and affection so their time away from you feels safe, comfortable, and fun.
“A true dog whisperer. When I needed to find a sitter last minute AJ made accommodations perfectly. He made my pup feel at home from the minute he introduced himself. Not to mention how attentive he was to my pups needs. He had so much fun and almost didnt want to leave. Thank you AJ you're the best.”

“AJ was professional and friendly and took time to meet my new rescue dog before starting service. AJ took extra care of my dog, providing lots of care for him and communicating with photos and updates after their visit. I would highly recommend AJ!”
“Alissa did an AMAZING job with our pup Luna. She can be quite a handful but when we came home our girl was taking a long nap as she had 2 great walks around the lake. Alissa also accommodated to our needs of using codes to get into our apartment and unit along with booking a second walk last minute. :)”
“Trina is an absolute professional. I never had to worry about her or my pet. I cannot say enough good words nor thank her enough. I highly recommend her and will call her immediately if I am ever in the area again.”
About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet mom with a home full of personalities - including 4 dogs (Great Dane puppy mixes, a Great Pyr mix, and a senior pittie who keeps things interesting) and 3 cats. Because of that, I am super comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from giant, high energy dogs, to tiny sensitive guys who need a little extra love, and even the occasional grumpy senior. I truly understand how important it is to keep pets in their normal routine while you're away and I have experience with training, medicine administration, and specialized diets as well as feeding schedules. My goal during every interaction with your babies is to make them as comfy as possible while maintaining their routine, and make them feel loved while their people are away. I am especially patient with shy, anxious, or older pets and always adjust my approach based on what they need. I also know how important communication is, so you will get updates and photos regularly! As a pet mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies with someone, so I make sure to treat every pet like they're my own! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate most drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and pet care routines throughout the day. Since caring for my own pets is already a part of my daily routine, providing reliable and consistent care for other pets fits very naturally into my schedule. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I am used to managing multiple pets with different personalities, feeding schedules, diets, and energy levels. Safety, consistency and comfort are always my priority. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, fresh food & water, meds if needed, and love! I am happy to follow specific instructions closely. I am also open to pet sitting in my home for animals who are dog, cat and kid friendly. My home is very pet-centered, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for.
About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.
About: I currently own 2 cats but I've taken care of a variety of dog breeds since I was young as I grew up with dogs. From Saint Bernard's and Chows, to pomeranians and chihuahuas. I am personally experienced with medication administration for both cats and dogs. Oral and injection. I also have taken care of other animals such as, chickens, horses, turtles, lizards, and even a snake! Im happy to take care of anything around the house that is needed as well! I'm using Rover as a way to pay off student loans! I have a flexible day job during the week, perfect for drop in visits as I run around to various locations! Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, my days are wide open so I'm able to be eith your pets as much as needed. I will do everything I can to make sure any routine for your furry friend is kept in place while you're away. No food routine or ritual is too complex. More than willing to walk dogs and make sure they stretch their legs. Will always make sure the house is safe and untouched when I leave.
“Eric is way more than I expected. I haven't used others to walk my dog, but I just had major surgery and had no alternative. Callie anxiously awaits Eric's arrival and is so excited to go with him. It makes my heart sing. He clearly understands dogs.”
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.

My skills are grooming, lodging, daycare, training, education, and medical care. I have even worked with dogs from k9 and search & rescue teams. I have experience caring for dog, cat, fish, turtle, chicken, guinea pig, lizard, and bird. I am a cat mother and fingers crossed a dog mom someday soon as well. I can take care of your pets/companion animals from any age, breed, or size. You name it, and I will be there for them. Common questions: What if my companion animal has a medical condition? You let me know what they need, and I can accommodate them, even if they have behavioral struggles. I am patient, understanding, and gentle. What if they need medications? No need to worry. I can administer medications via subcutaneous, transdermal, oral pills or liquids, or even instramuscular per perscription instructions. What if they are high energy? High energy animals have high activity levels, which means they require frequent exercise and attention. To accomodate these needs, I can be available for multiple daily visits, walk them, and even curate a training plan for them. Your animal family members deserve the best. They deserve a professional. Not just someone who loves them, but one who you can trust to care for them in every capacity while you're away in safe hands. My skills: ✨️ Administering medications (via any route; Oral liquid or pill, IM, SQ, Transdermal) ✨️ Grooming/Bathing ✨️ Nail Trims ✨️ Meal Prep & Feeding ✨️ Animal Behavior ✨️ Training ✨️ Medical Care Rover is something I fit into my life whenever I can while I work & continue education. Some seasons are busier than others, and that's normal. Companion Care is already a part of my daily life, so these requests come as a breeze for me. I try to update my calender monthly, but if things don't look right, if your other sitter isn't available, or if you just need someone ASAP, you are always free to message me any time in the app. I try to reply as soon as possible, but sometimes I don't recieve notifications, so it may take me a few hours to reply in some instances. My calender should reflect my un-availability at minimum. If you have any questions, please message me as I am flexible and will accommodate where possible. Keeping things fear-free as much as possible is a priority for me. I like to keep things calm, relaxing, and easy or neutral. When I meet them for the first time during the meet & greet, I wait for them to come up to me. It's what they are comfortable with. This helps everyone establish trust and familiarity. My hope is that I can be your go to whenever you need companion care. Sometimes, I use miracle tones to help with fear, it is soothing and calming for all. Wildlife or "Pet" TV is a great option to add to their environment while you are away as it helps them feel less alone and gives them something to interact with. I like to stick to a rhythm or routine. As I enter their palace, I introduce myself gently by using a high pitched soft tone and a treat. Then, I let them sniff me out before they welcome me through. Any grievances? No siree! Next, I like to start feedings and medications after activities. But, I take it at their pace. Afterwards, I will take care of cleaning & notes before my departure from their palace. What I value during my bookings: 💖Trust/Familiarity (Completing the Meet&Greet & sticking to a rhythm or routine) 💖Safety (Keeping doors locked) 💖Compassion (Always stay kind, patient & considerate) 💖Comfort (Temperature in the home, toys, beds) 💖Respect (Their boundaries and space) 💖Quality care/Ensuring all goals are met (Fulfilling all visit requirements) I will not force anything.

“Our dog is always happy to stay with Yi Ling and her family! They take great care of him and have excellent communication. When we dropped him off this time, he didn't even tell us goodbye--he was so happy to be there! Thank you, Yi Ling! :)”
“Our Corgi was very well taken care of during his stay with Kyle and Desiree! The daily pictures that were sent showed just how happy and comfortable our guy was while we were gone. We couldn’t have ask for a better experience! We will be sure to have Kyle and Desiree watch our senior guy again when we need a dog sitter!”
“Ben was great with my dog. He shared pictures and updates with me frequently throughout my dog's stay. My dog was well taken care of, and was happy that he got to play with his new friends.”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“So glad we could find a wonderful, loving dog sitter nearby! Kimberly shared photos and updates daily while our dog was in her care. It felt relieving knowing our dog was in great hands. We'll be using her again!”
“Oh my goodness. Sidney was the best person for this job. I have ZERO complaints, or things I think she could have done differently. I had never left my pup before and it was a difficult decision to leave her in Grand Forks for a 10 day trip. Ellie, my dog, is a little aggressive at times, and standoffish to anyone at first. I dropped her off worried and sad, but when I handed my pup over to Sidney, Ellie could tell she was a good person. Sidney slowly introduced her dogs to Ellie once Ellie was used to Sidney, perfect to adjust slowly. And by the end, (even about three days in) Ellie was playing with her two dogs, sleeping and cuddling with them, and just having a blast. It made me rest easy knowing that my dog was safe and happy. Will be booking again if I ever need a sitter. Wonderful dogs and wonderful person. 110% recommend :)”
“Julia is an absolute gem!! 💎 She greeted Kaya at her door and before I even had her bag out, she’d found Kaya’s favorite spot to be petted! I felt so comfortable knowing my girl was with a wonderful pet sitter, it helped make my weekend that much better. The communication was great - the photos and video of her enjoying her best life with Julia’s dog 🐶 and out walking made me smile and know I made the best decision for her. Highly recommend!!”
“My pup had a great time with Ashley and Jeremy! They were very quick to respond to messages and provided photos and updates daily. Drop off and pick up were also very easy and Ashley had everything ready to go. Would recommend!”
“Alex took great care of Zoey and was very flexible with last minute plans on coordinating a meet up first and extending Zoey’s stay a few extra days. He was also very receptive to adapting his home and routine to accommodate Zoey’s needs. We’ll definitely have Zoey stay with Alex again in the future.”
“Amber is great with dogs! She is very calm and in control. She was able to get our dogs to be friendly during introduction even when Guinness was being protective. It seems like Guinness had a great 2 days with Amber and Bubba. Thanks Amber! We will be a repeat customer.”
“Brittany is a wonderful dog sitter! My Sonny is a senior Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he was treated like a king! Brittany took great care of Sonny and he looked so happy being with Wookie, Brittany's senior dog. She also sent me great photos while I was traveling so I could see what they were up to. I travel several times a year and I am so glad to find someone I can trust with my old man! I am already booking Brittany for my next adventure!”
“Darcy & her kids took great care of my two pups while I was on vacation. Photos everyday to reassure they were well & very happy pups on return. Thanks for taking good care of them.”
“Kyleigh was super great to our sweet Mandy. We received daily videos updates of Mandy which was really appreciated since the last play she stayed at we were given no updates. The videos for themselves showed how well she was being taken care of and I truly recommend Kyleigh to take care of your little furry friends!!”
“As always, Ty and his family take great care of our fur baby. We don't have to worry about a thing while we are away because we know she is well loved and taken care of. We will continue to rely on this wonderful family when we leave town. Thank you again!”
“Timea kept me informed throughout my dog’s stay by sending me pictures and updates. My dog looked relaxed and well cared for when I picked him up. When I did a meet and greet with Timea, her interactions with my dog gave me peace of mind that she was a caring pet sitter and seeing my dog at pickup confirmed it. I will be booking Timea again.”
“Cole was an absolutely fantastic sitter. He was very quick with communication up to and during the dog sitting period. We knew that our dogs were in good hands with Cole.”
“Charissa and Colin were great and I got lots of photos of our dog relaxing and getting some walks in. We will definitely reach out to Charissa again the next time we need to leave town without our pup.”
“We had a great experience with Madalyn and Gabriel! They were very responsive and attentive with our pup. He had such a great time with them he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend these two.”
