“Kristin took great care of Murphy while I was out of town. Murph is a very anxious pup and she made sure he was as comfortable and at ease as possible! She sent me regular updates and pictures and made sure he felt at home.”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”
“My girls took to Dani immediately. She checked their bags & instructions right away & immediately contacted me to let me know one dogs meds wete missing & offered a solution that worked. She sent lots of photos showing us they were playing, napping & eating on time. We are visiting family 1200+ miles from home . It was a relief to find Dani to take care of our girls fir overnight. We highly recommend Dani.”
“Melissa was very easy to deal with and our dog Sammy seems to have had a great time with her. Melissa gave us several updates on Sammy and sent us lots of pictures of her adventures. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone.”
“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“We are so lucky to have found Stephen! He’s wonderful with our pup - and with us as well! We always check his availability first when we need someone to care for our girl. Highly recommend!”
“Ifan was a great sitter for our big boy Dom. He was very good with communication both before and during the sit. He sent pictures and updates about how Dom was doing and all pertinent information. He was very accommodating with our flexible schedule and wr truly appreciated that. We would definitely utilize his services again and we would recommend him for anyone looking for a top notch sitter.”
“Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Katie is a friendly person. She likes dogs. We boarded our 5 months puppy with her, and it looks like she took good care of our dog. We shall board our dog with her again, and we recommend her to other guests.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Outstanding! Alan and Luis provided extraordinary care for our Black Lab mix Annie while we were on vacation for a week. They are truly the best! Compassionate, friendly, caring, trustworthy are just a few words to describe Alan and Luis. The house is beautiful with a gated fence and a "kiddy pool". Annie truly enjoyed her stay and playing with the other guests as evidenced by her disposition when I picked her up and the the daily photos. I will always check first with Alan and Luis in the future when I need a sitter for Annie.”
“I feel more than comfortable leaving Eli with Serenity and family. He has stayed with them several times now and always gets so much attention and treated so special. They are also great about sending photo updates. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely outstanding care for our pup! We will be using Kristin again in the future. She was communicative, kind, nurturing and treated our Sadie girl like her own. Beyond happy with the service she provided us!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Dash had a wonderful week long stay at Renata’s home. Plenty of exercise and outdoor time on their beautiful property on the lake. Would absolutely trust to take care of our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”

About: I've had pets my whole life and have experience dog sitting. I'm dependable, caring, and treat every pet like family while following their routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I only work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I also have a reliable car, making it easy for me to arrive on time, accommodate last-minute bookings, and ensure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I think it is important to offer positive reinforcement and constant love (for pets who want it), or even just hanging out and making the pet know that they get their needs met.
“Tyler was great! It was our first time hiring a sitter for our girls and using Rover. Tyler was excellent with communication, and even came to our home twice before our first trip to confirm all of the instructions. Everyday he showed up when he was supposed to and gave a detailed report of how each visit went. He was extremely careful when entering and leaving our home as he was made aware that one of our cats was an escape artist. We were very comfortable having Tyler in our home taking care of our cats and he did a great job! We look forward to our next trip and hiring Tyler to come back. In the past, we've packed up our girls and stress them out to have a family member watch them in their space. Tyler allowed us to keep our girls in their own home with familiarity and in keeping with their same feeding schedule. Our girls were calm when we returned home and didn't skip a beat. I highly recommend Tyler's services!”
About: Hi! My name is Ximena, and I have years of hands on experience caring for cats. I currently care for my two cats, Oreo and Mocha, and I’ve learned how important it is to respect each cat’s unique personality, routine, and boundaries. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to detail. I’ll follow your cat’s feeding schedule, keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed (with instructions), and make sure your cat gets the attention and care they’re comfortable with. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’ll adapt to their needs. I also offer a meet-and-greet before the booking if you’d like, especially for cats that may benefit from getting to know me beforehand. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your cat. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have three cats of my own, one of which was aggressive and only approved for a single-cat home that has been nurtured and loved into being a cuddle bug who is a proud older brother to two younger siblings. As a vet tech, I have dealt with very opinionated cats and do my best to accommodate to any cats who are challenging.
“Shannon has taken care of my cat twice and will be watching her again this coming August. I highly recommend Shannon-she’s reliable, friendly, trustworthy and just awesome to work with. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! Thank you Shannon!!”
“Deb did an excellent job taking care of Molly Molly and Starfire! She sent pictures and great communication each day. She also took the time to engage with them during each visit - couldn't ask for more.”
“Orion and Alex were very kind and professional when I reached out about drop-in visits with Collins. I had never worked with a pet sitter before, and they were very gracious about all of my questions and the detailed instructions I left. Orion provided updates and pictures for me each time he and Alex visited my apartment, and they took the time to try and socialize with my sweet, yet somewhat, standoffish cat. I definitely plan to book time with Orion and Alex again!”
About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR (dogs and cats). I am experienced in administering oral medicine. I also understand how complicated medication and health issues are in pets, and I take it very seriously. I will make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home by going through all of the details before your pets stay and updating you with pictures and videos! Our own cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual cat and make them feel both safe and loved! There is a private room that will be changed to fit the cat's needs. The set up will include activities, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.
“Shannon did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She kept him entertained and gave very attentive care to him. She was prompt and reliable the entire time. And my cat loved to have her around! Will definitely book her again!”
About: I grew up in a family that bread, Dalmatians. As I head into retirement, I'd be happy to help other families with job service services or boarding services. I have a very laid-back in well-behaved male Dalmatian that enjoys company. I’m currently retired so I have time to help our other families. I’d be happy to do drop-ins or pup-sit. If you want socialization then my pup would be thrilled to attend Whether it’s squirrel chasing or some basic training, it’s important to get energy out during drop-in visits. Balls and treats are a good way to break the ice!
“Kyle is the best! She LOVES animals. It was difficult for me trust someone I just met to come into my home and take care of our two cats that are part of our family. Kyle’s warmth and attentiveness toward Leopold and Maximus put my mind at ease. We are really glad to have met Kyle and will be utilizing her pet care services in the future.”
“Ana is professional and attentive. and comes across as an incredibly bright woman who absolutely loves animals. This was our first time using a pet sitter and we were So pleased. 10/10 would recommend Ana for check ins or house sitting!!”
“Attentive and gave me lots of updates petting and playing with the cats, even my shyer one felt comfortable with her. Tiffany also checked in on my reptiles too, which was much appreciated. Thank you!”

“Dani was amazing! Took my dog to her 3x and she was excited each time. Photos and updates were sent without asking. I would definitely book anytime to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend.”
“Stephen was awesome, kept Gracei happy and safe during her visits while I had to work. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for my first Rover experience and first puppy ever. He kept me updated throughout the day and is very flexible with time. Thank you and can’t wait to book with Stephen again!”
“Renata is so wonderful! She is quick with communication, super sweet, and takes such great pictures during the day. Gracie is so so happy after spending the day with her and Forest. She treats my pup like her own!”
“My dogs are always happy to spend the day with Ricky. They get excited in the car when they realize where we are and run right through the door as soon as it opens. I’m so happy they are safe and well cared for while I’m away.”
“Moose and our family absolutely adore Janelle and her kids! A very cozy, clean and comforting home for play, sleep and everything you may need for your pup for their stay! This was our first weekend at daycare and Moose is so excited every time we arrive and doesn’t even want to leave! We are so happy we found the perfect fit!”
About: Hi everyone! I am an animal fanatic (dogs>people) with an energetic and outgoing personality. I strive to provide the best possible care and have no problem with special requests or schedules! I'll run, walk, play, throw to your dogs content and my own. I've been caring for animals big and small since I was a wee kiddo, have vet experience inherited from my dad who owns his own practice, and overall a soft spot for all things furry. I have a cattle dog mix pupper who is a social butterfly and a bengal that acts more like a dog than a cat. He gets along GREAT with all animals he's been introduced to, just check out the photos! Put yourself at ease knowing that your pooch will be properly attended to at your own convenience! I am currently working part time as a nanny and am looking to expand my passion for animals into a full time career. I previously ran a small dog walking business in Boston and am hoping to do the same here in my home state of CT! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to play with! If your dog is not friendly with others I do have a separate space for my pups if needed.
About: I am new to the Rover app but I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and have a wide range of availability! I just want to be able to help those who need their fur babies taken care of without the added stress of boarding them. I have experience with lots of different animals, sizes, diets and medicine administration. I only have one pet in my house and he’s a small 20lb dog named Koda. He LOVES other animals and even has some cat bffs! I am home most week nights and weekends so i have pretty open availability! I take my dog on long walks after work and we are always looking for more company! I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very yard with a leash that is on a run with plenty of room to get the zoomies out! I have a spacious house and we welcome dogs on all furniture, so if you have a pet who prefers to cuddle up and sleep in bed, i’m your gal!
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I love every animal for their unique personality and quirks. I have had several clients over the past 10 years that came to me by word of mouth. I have had dogs from puppies to seniors. I do have a full time job but I work remotely most days. I am flexible so I can be there when they need me. All I need is WiFi. If I watch them in my home, we will meet ahead so I can assess how your dog will do with my dogs and cats. I have a fully fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. If I watch them in your home I come by for a meet and greet.
About: I have been asked to take care of dogs/cats while family have been out of town on many occasions I have 3 of my own cats and niece and nephew cat (yes) lol also two puppers that are family a newphie and great Pyrenees. Animals are my family and I feel happier with them than I do with people. Depending on location I can be available when needed. I work from home I can be flexible as long as I am communicated with in a timely manner As I have three cats I wouldn’t be able to bring any other pets into my home as they are rescues who have severe anxiety and to keep my fur babies safe I would ask that they be respected and I can only make home visits. Thank you !
“Very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable of pets. Gave a report at time of pick up of how he did, any problems that arose, and suggestion they could help if need be. My pup is hyper so her fenced in yard was perfect. He was happy and relaxed at pick up. Would I use her again? Absolutely, yes. He felt safe with her and that is what we want when leaving out pets!”
“Kayla was amazing with my dog! Each time I picked him up, he was happy, and clearly well cared for. She took amazing care of my pet even though he has a broken leg and has restrictions. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her services are absolutely worth every penny.”
“Christle was absolutely wonderful with my dog, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and genuinely caring. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and it was clear that she truly loves animals and treats every dog as if they were her own. Throughout the stay, Christle kept me updated and made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the way she took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs. She was also very patient and attentive, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. One thing that stood out to me was how naturally my dog connected with Christle. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed the time spent with her. It’s not always easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pet, but Christle made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She was also very professional, responsive, and respectful throughout the entire process. Communication was easy, and I always felt that my dog was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and love she provided. I would absolutely recommend Christle to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. She went above and beyond, and I would happily book with her again in the future. Thank you, Christle, for taking such great care of my pup!”
“Lauren is fantastic. She’s dependable, clearly loves dogs, and takes great care of them at daycare. My pup always comes home happy and tired from a great day. Highly recommend.”
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”
About: I'm a kind, responsible, friendly, well organized, calm & honest person. My husband and I both like dogs. We own a smart, friendly golden retriever who love to play and run around our large yard. Our dog is healthy, understands basic commands (we trained him ourselves), house trained, and up to date on shots/vaccinations. We take good care of our dog and we'll take good care of your dog. We are living in country and close to dog park, Coventry and Bolton lakes. I can take your dog on a leash to walk there upon your request. I would like to board a friendly and house trained dog. We accept only crate trained dogs. I am working from home. So, I can provide potty breaks and plenty of exercise for your dog. I like to walk and have experience with dog who have anxiety. Safety is priority. I prefer to keep dogs separate because they may not get along. Your dog will be on a leash if outside the house. I would never feed my dog your dog kibble. Crate trained dogs only.

“Nina was so great, we rebooked her for the whole week! She was able to handle my big and small boy on a great schedule and made all of us feel very comfortable so I highly recommend!”
“Tyler is wonderful. My pup is usually shy around males due to her past but she absolutely adores him. As soon as she sees his car in the driveway she gets so excited. He's great with her.”
About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.
About: Dog person? Cat person? Why choose? 😄 I love all kinds of pets!

If boarding is needed, I presently have one cat of my own, so your cat/s are welcome to share our home for awhile (one family's pet(s) at a time).
About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I only accept 30 minute drop-ins and walks within a 5 mile radious from my home. Over 5 mile radius requires a 45 minute or an hour walk or drop in! I have experience with senior dogs & cats. I have experience also administrating insulin to older dogs & other willing animals. I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule.

About: I am an animal lover through and through! I’ve been taking care of many different types of dogs and cats since as long as I can remember. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats, and I am more than willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal in particular. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your pet, I will dedicate my time to truly loving them. I have experience staying at owners houses to take exceptional full-time care of their pets, and I also have experience keeping pets in my home! I have practiced basic animal training such as teaching dogs and cats to sit, stay, and shake. I truly adore animals and I will enjoy every minute of caring for your fur-babies! I am currently an Elementary Education student at the University of Connecticut, but I have tons of free time to take care of pets, whether that be for drop-ins or for more personal care in my home! Currently I am available full-time and I can accept last minute bookings. While dropping in to care for your pets, I will of course be incredibly respectful of your space, going only in the rooms I am allowed and touching only the items needed to care for your animals :) To care for animals in my own apartment, I have made sure that potentially hazardous items (small items, food, plants, etc.) are all put away/placed at a height that dogs and cats cannot reach. While I do not have a fenced yard, there are several parks around my apartment where I can consistently take your dog out on long walks. In my home, animals are also allowed on beds and couches! Please let me know if your pet requires any specific accommodations or changes to the environment :)
About: My true passion is making sure rabbits get the spoiled life they deserve! It is important to understand rabbit care and their specialized needs. I have two bonded bunnies of my own and volunteer weekly to help bunnies in need. I've care for cats and rabbits most of my life and very passionate about their well-being. I have had rabbits and cats for almost half of my life! I treat all animals with respect and like they are my own! Currently in school for dental hygiene and looking to fill the extra hours in my week helping with pet care in my spare time! I volunteer weekly with rescues. I love working with animals! When caring for pets in my home, everything is pet safe and pet proofed. Pet safety is my main priority because they mean the world to me!
About: Since I can remember I have always been around dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescues, who needed training and caring for. I currently pet sit for my family when they are away, and walk dogs for family friends. When I was a professional cleaner I encountered all breeds and ages of cats and dogs every single day so I am very comfortable around all types of pets. I especially love and have experience with pitty breeds as well as experience with some reactive cats and know what to do to gain their trust. When not taking care or animals, I am a freelance dancer and choreographer! I take dance class some evenings and may have a weekend show or rehearsals. Other than that, I am readily available especially during the morning, afternoons, and later in the evenings/overnight for your furry friends! Before we officially book, I will make sure we have a meet and greet so that your pet can get to know me as we talk about all your needs for my visit! Along with any of your pet's special needs, I will ask you to leave me with any emergency contact information just in case anything were to happen, as well as my personal contact info. I also will send you updates for your peace of mind as well as some adorable pictures of your pet(s)!
About: I am an Animal Science student at UConn and have been working as a vet tech at Ipswich Animal Hospital for the past 3 years. I work with many different types of animals, mostly cats and dogs, and I can cater to their needs. I can administer medication, clip nails, certain grooming tasks such as brushing and bathing, and I can also do hair trims if needed (some of these services may require an additional person; if I determine it is needed for that specific pet that would require another person other me entering your home). I am very active and can provide long walks for pets and can also provide photos and videos of your pets. I am a college student so I am available during winter and summer break. I do not usually travel so I am available for holidays and vacation weeks. I have owned dogs all my life and have taken care of many of my friends' cats. I have 2 dogs at home and regularly take care of 4 cats. Each pet obviously has different needs, and I try my best to accommodate them. I often groomed the cats I look after and adjust so that they are comfortable.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. I grew up in a house with 4 dogs and 2 cats. I now have 2 dogs of my own. A 5 and a half year old golden/husky mix and a 4 year old golden retriever. I believe each dog has needs of their own and being able to provide them a comfortable environment whether on a walk or if I’m visiting them for some play time- they decide how it goes. As long as they are happy, that is what matters! Just a girl helping others out when I can :) Every day I am taking care of my animals, I literally quit my office job for a stay at home job so they could have a happy life. I treat them like my own kids. Although my dogs are trained, if they want something… a quick “sit” or other trick will work for me!!

“Kristin took great care of Murphy while I was out of town. Murph is a very anxious pup and she made sure he was as comfortable and at ease as possible! She sent me regular updates and pictures and made sure he felt at home.”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”
“My girls took to Dani immediately. She checked their bags & instructions right away & immediately contacted me to let me know one dogs meds wete missing & offered a solution that worked. She sent lots of photos showing us they were playing, napping & eating on time. We are visiting family 1200+ miles from home . It was a relief to find Dani to take care of our girls fir overnight. We highly recommend Dani.”
“Melissa was very easy to deal with and our dog Sammy seems to have had a great time with her. Melissa gave us several updates on Sammy and sent us lots of pictures of her adventures. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone.”
“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“We are so lucky to have found Stephen! He’s wonderful with our pup - and with us as well! We always check his availability first when we need someone to care for our girl. Highly recommend!”
“Ifan was a great sitter for our big boy Dom. He was very good with communication both before and during the sit. He sent pictures and updates about how Dom was doing and all pertinent information. He was very accommodating with our flexible schedule and wr truly appreciated that. We would definitely utilize his services again and we would recommend him for anyone looking for a top notch sitter.”
“Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Katie is a friendly person. She likes dogs. We boarded our 5 months puppy with her, and it looks like she took good care of our dog. We shall board our dog with her again, and we recommend her to other guests.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Outstanding! Alan and Luis provided extraordinary care for our Black Lab mix Annie while we were on vacation for a week. They are truly the best! Compassionate, friendly, caring, trustworthy are just a few words to describe Alan and Luis. The house is beautiful with a gated fence and a "kiddy pool". Annie truly enjoyed her stay and playing with the other guests as evidenced by her disposition when I picked her up and the the daily photos. I will always check first with Alan and Luis in the future when I need a sitter for Annie.”
“I feel more than comfortable leaving Eli with Serenity and family. He has stayed with them several times now and always gets so much attention and treated so special. They are also great about sending photo updates. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely outstanding care for our pup! We will be using Kristin again in the future. She was communicative, kind, nurturing and treated our Sadie girl like her own. Beyond happy with the service she provided us!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”
“Patrick and Susan provide a 10/10 service. They took our dogs on fun walks every day. Took plenty of photos to send with comprehensive daily updates. They treated our dogs like their own and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet services. We would trust them again in the future without hesitation”
“Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!”
