“Brittany and her family are the BEST! Our Simon loves going there! He gets the best care and has so much fun. Brittany is a great communicator and sends regular updates and pictures. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“I dropped off my 11 month old, highly energetic, golden doodle for her first time away from home with some trepidation. She instantly became part of the family and made new puppy friends too! Frequent updates put my mind at ease. I think she's a bit bored now she's home!”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
“Catherine was an excellent boarder for our dog Forest. She is a true dog lover, and her home is welcoming and with a large yard, ideal for our active dog Forest. During his one-week stay, she provided regul;ar updates and photos. Forest came home a happy pup! My wife and I highly recommend Catherine.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Brittany was so great about communicating and sending pictures of all the fun activities she did with our lab! She is very hands on and excellent with making our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use again :)”
“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”
“Karen was wonderful with my dog, Gus! She sent regular updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. She even took him on a fun outing to Harkness and had so many positive things to say about him, which meant a lot to me. Karen is trustworthy, clearly cares about the dogs she watches, and treated mine like her own. I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Very sweet and willing to work with me on drop off and pick up times which I appreciated so much! Even gave a check in to let me know how how my pup was doing halfway through the stay. Definitely would hire again for our next vacation”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Kristin is the best! She loves our dog like her own. He is so happy to be at her house with her family. When he comes home, he pouts for a few days! We are so lucky we found her to watch our dog!! Thank you!!”
“Maria is just fantastic! She is very professional, so very kind and sweet. We received daily updates, pics and videos of our dog Micky. She even groomed him and trimmed his claws for us. Our dog was part of her family and we highly recommend Maria and we will happily use her again. Maria deserves more then 5 stars. ???”

“Laura is a fabulous cat sitter. She’s always on time and follows instructions but most of all she truly cares for Mimi and Smoochie. She’s kind, compassionate and patient. I’d give her 10 stars!!!”
“Frances was fantastic with our two high-energy kitties. She immediately put us at ease and was super easy and nice to work with. She took great care of our home and pets. Trustworthy and friendly, she gave them lots of playtime and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our vacation.”
About: I’ve been a pet and animal owner my entire life. We have 3 young kids who love to play and one energetic 4 year old dog who also loves to play, so your pet would get a lot of play time at this house! I have lots of availability this summer, so reach out to me for specifics. Once fall hits and I’m back at school, I’ll be available for weekends. We have one friendly dog to keep yours company. Our yard is not fenced in, but we take frequent walks throughout the day. Our dog sleeps upstairs in the bedroom with us, but we do have a crate available if needed.
“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!”
“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!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! Serenity was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure they were not only well fed and safe, but also loved and comforted while I was away. She provided regular updates, photos, and was incredibly responsive and kind. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
About: Cats are the best! I am personally a big cat person and have lived with, trained, and loved cats since I was a child. I have grown up with multiple cats, and currently have one of my own named Creature. I am a warm, detail oriented, dedicated, and responsible problem solver. I provide the exact energy a cat seeks and we always become instant best friends! I take pride in making sure every kitty has what they need (and plenty of pets)! Special needs and requests for care are welcome. I’m happy to clean a litter box, provide needed medication, or just give a good scratch behind the ears! Many friends, family members, and coworkers have hired me to take care of their furry loved one. I would absolutely love to meet and care for your cat! :)
“Roger is a fantastic cat sitter. He is super reliable, communicative, flexible and great with felines. He took really good care of my cranky and cantankerous (and sweet) 15 yr old kitty. Roger went above and beyond to accommodate her while we were away for a week. He also knows kitty CPR which made me feel extra secure! I recommend him highly!”
About: I have been house sitting over night since I was 14. Family friends have been able to count on me to play with their cats, feed them, change litter boxes, and look in in the cats every few hours.
About: Cats are one of my strengths. I’m very comfortable with cats who are shy, independent, or slow to warm up. Many cats I’ve cared for end up seeking me out, even when their owners say they usually hide from everyone. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter care, medications when needed, playtime, and respecting a cat’s boundaries. I adjust my care to your cat’s personality and preferences.
About: I have taken care of cats ever since my first stray named Whiskers came into my life 40 years ago! My sisters and I begged our parents to let us keep him and that started my love of animals. I have had cats as an adult consistently for 25 years. I have experience administering medications and have cared for elderly cats as well.
About: Greetings! I have grown up with dogs all my life and love the bond shared with each pet I interact with. I have cared for a variety of different breeds and types of pets and dogs. I am an energetic and caring dog lover that takes pride in every animal that crosses my path. I am very reliable and have a flexible schedule. I pride myself on being responsible and professional. When interacting with your furry friends l'll be sure to give the love and care they deserve and you expect! I am currently a student with flexible work schedules as I am working mainly at home for right now. I am able to work most of the week/weekends during a variety of times. I am very reliable, and make your pet and you a priority! I pride myself on being responsible and professional. I treat every pet and home like it was my own and always maintain a certain level of respect and trust for anyone’s home or pet. When interacting with your furry friends I’ll be sure to give the love and care they deserve and you expect!
“Sarah has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly reliable, very communicative, and just an all-around friendly, positive person. My dog loved her instantly and now gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She takes her on long walks and always sends great photo updates, so I feel completely at ease knowing how well she’s doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
About: I am well-versed in pet nutrition, exercise needs, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of every animal in my care. I'm currently in law school, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets throughout the week. I'm available for house sittings and drop in visits. I'm very experienced with dogs and cats. I spend a lot of time with them at home and on walks. I recognize that every pet has unique needs and preferences. I excel at tailoring my approach to meet the specific requirements of each animal, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and safe.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was born with my first Golden Retriever “Missy”. My family has had a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters and bunnies, all the way to horses. I am often called on by my fiends to pet sit as I am known as the friend with a surplus of pets. I currently have a small dog named Munchie with many different health problems such as anxiety and epilepsy which gives me experience in caring for dogs with specific needs. I also currently have a large dog who is a Shepard, Boxer mix named Leo who gives me experience in caring for large dogs and their active and rambunctious needs. Along with my two dogs I have four cats who give me experience in the joy of caring for cats. As a pet owner I know the struggle of finding a good and trustworthy pet sitter. That is why I want to be able to be that pet sitter that will allow you to enjoy your vacation or go to work with the peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. I am currently a student at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. Due to my class schedule I have blocks of time in which I am not in class or doing homework that I would love to be able to fill with hanging out with dogs:) Due to the fact that I am a college student I do not have the home environment to be able to care for your dog at my house. But I will give them the love and attention they need during my drop-in visits with lots of pets, playtime, walks and treats!

About: As a devoted animal lover who recently lost my beloved senior boy, I am yearning to fill that void by showering other people’s pets with the same love and devotion. Because I work from home on five acres of land, I am able to offer your dog constant companionship and a peaceful, spacious environment. My hands-on experience spans all life stages—from energetic small puppies to elderly dogs needing gentle, specialized care. Having also adopted and rehabilitated dogs and cats with trauma, I understand the deep patience, calm energy, and compassion required to help every pet feel safe, secure, and right at home. I run my own business from home, and I have very flexible hours. Which allows me to provide constant companionship for your pet. Because I am always around, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring your dog will never be left alone for long stretches and will receive all the playtime, potty breaks and attention they need throughout the day. Whether caring for your dog in your home or mine, safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. At my house your dog will enjoy peaceful, leashed walks exploring my 5 acres of land, and I bring that same careful attention to walks in your neighborhood. Because I have experience with delicate elderly dogs, tiny puppies and rescues with trauma, I am highly attentive to safety. I always ensure leashes are completely secure and provide a calm soothing presence so pet feels protected. I do have a cat in my home, however they can be separated if needed. I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first daycare with Laura. Evie was a bit anxious at first but Laura got her to a calm state quickly and Evie enjoyed playing with her pug, Winston. Laura kept me updated and sent several pictures. Good experience overall and will be back”
“Thank you Mary Jo! She watched my Pepper for a couple hours and did a great job! I also thought it was extremely sweet of your son to kiss Pepper goodbye on top of his head :) I highly recommend Mary Jo to look after your dog!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.
“Erica, Thomas and the kids were great with Lenny. When I went to pick him up, he looked happy and was definitely tired from a full day of fun. Erica was very flexible with drop off time, I had to drop Lenny off really early to leave for work, and I also had to book his stay last minute, and they were able to accommodate it. I received photos and updates from Lenny all day during his stay. Lenny will definitely stay with Erica and her family again.”
“Jill did a great job taking care of our Border Collie, Buddy. Jill’s a pleasure to work with, responsive and caring, can tell she really loves dogs and made sure Buddy felt right at home. We received regular pictures and a video. Great environment for our Buddy!”
“This was my first time ever leaving Ange. I was a little nervous, but everything went great over all. Carolina text me through out the day and made me feel so comfortable with me leaving Ange. I will definitely use Carolina in the near future.”
“We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
About: Hi, My name is Brooke I go by Seven and my entire life has been surrounded by animals, from catching frogs, lizards, feeding the squirrels and always just having that touch even with the animals that don't trust or care for most humans. I have that special something. I started walking the whole neighborhoods dogs when i was 9 years old, i would walk up to 5 at a time. At the age of 13 i started volunteering for an animal rescue fostering dogs and cats. I was the girl growing up all my friends would bring stray or lost animals too. 16 i started working as a vet assistant, at 18 working a 150 dog ranch/doggie daycare and boarding facility to then move on into my early twenties working a place in Seattle called Dogwood Play Park, the first of its kind. It was an indoor outdoor 21 plus play park and daycare. Owners could bring their dogs to play while they had a beer and got to know other dog lovers, I built many beautiful dog... and people friendships there. I have always been told by the owners they that their dogs listens to me better..I say its just cause i am alpha pack leader!! I have massive respect and love for all animals. I worked in Portland Oregon on a farm in 2022 called Trisklee farm where i cared for all the animals on the property as farmer seven, i did weekend tours of the farm and helped run kids summer camp.I am very good with all ages and types of animals. My biggest strength is animal body language, i can read an animals move before they do it. Something i have picked up over my life span over working with animals everyday. I can administer medications and very aware of your pets behaviors to make sure they feel the most comfortable at all times. I owned guinea pigs, giant Flemish Rex rabbit, cats, and just recently lost my best friends Clyde who was a mastiff Doberman this June , he was almost 12. And Alice my English mastiff who was almost 11 back in 2023 . large breeds are my specialty. I just had a new born on July 29th 2026 and have a year and a half year old as well. I am a stay at home mom who misses her pets and want my children to grow up around animals without making the commitment right now to add to the family. So being good around children who are young and learning boundaries is a must so we don’t put your pet or my children in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Hope to hear from you and care for your furry babies . I am a doula and stay at home mom I jsut lost my soul dog and looking to add some furry friends to our pack as friends for my children to learn to be around and get some love . I am very loving at attentive, I notice your pets needs almost immediately and what works for them. I’ll be as involved or chill as they need me to be. It’s your pets world I’m living in it. Yet I’m still alpha and set boundaries
About: I have a ten year old chihuahua I adore. Growing up, I’ve always had cats and dogs in the home so taking on the responsibility of pet duty’s comes naturally. I feed my dog twice a day with some treats in between. On an extended leash, my dog, Chassé runs out in the open front yard. On a nice day we will go on a hike or a leisurely walk in the neighborhood. I keep my home pet safe. Keeping all snacks off the ground and anything they might get into. I check the garden and yard for plant/mushroom that might be toxic to the pet. And of course, if anything goes wrong, I call the vet.
About: I am a dependable and responsible person who has a passion and a love for dogs and wishes to care for yours. I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have loved and valued each one in my life. I adopted 2 dogs in my life and the love I feel/felt for them is like no other. I trained and raised my dog that I adopted at 19 and have been a pet sitter for multiple families throughout the years. I am now a stay at home mom looking to care for dogs for extra income. We are home bodies that usually love to stay local and enjoy our home. I’m a stay at home mom and my partner works remote so our dog gets tons of love and attention throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard and our amazing dog churro to keep your pet company. Daily walks and playtime outside is a must.
“Very happy and relieved! I had to book last-minute for my pup when a neighbor had to cancel, and Adriana & Christopher were able to take Lucy at their house for the day. I worry about her because Lucy is a bit of an anxious mess when somewhere new (especially when I’m not around), and she was shaking like a leaf when I left. I felt terrible! But she was very interactive and played with their dog so much that she passed out and slept for hours when we got home! So, so happy and delighted with this experience for my little Lucy!”
“Our doggies had a great time with Lourdes. Communication was great and easy. We received several pictures for daycare. Lastly, our dogs played a lot with Lourdes dog— our boys were tired and slept for hours after we picked them up!”
About: Having cared for 13 dogs and 4 cats (yes, we keep count), we've seen it all. Daily exercise and even bathing is quite familiar to us. Leo has hands-on experience with animal shelters, and I have biological based experience with both nutritional needs and animal anatomy, and we both can provide basic training. We currently have a year-old golden retriever and a tabby! We've dealt with a couple lovable (but difficult) pets and can deal with issues like stubbornness, biting, and basic potty training. Leo works from home, and I'm a commuter-basically, there's always someone home! We are both the "outdoorsy" type and frequent the devil's hop yard, as well as hike through our property. As STEM majors, animals keep us sane! We can also transport your pets (we have the seating and everything). Our property has a spacious (but secure) 100-acre forest, perfect for supervised walks and exploration! At home, our pets—a friendly Golden Retriever and a sweet Tabby—ensure your furry friend will never feel lonely. We can also provide crate time if needed for safety or comfort, and (given our flexibility) tailor care routines to meet each pet’s needs!
“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”
“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights.

I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.
“Trish (Patricia) is wonderful. Her communication is great and her love for animals is apparent. I know my pepper is in good hands. I’m so glad I found her. I highly recommend Trish for your pet needs.”
“Mary has been awesome. She was quick to respond to a last minute need and super flexible. From the first meet and greet she was fantastic with our nervous pup. Our pup quickly warmed up to her and our stress about the daily need for walks was gone. Mary has a great sense for our girl and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

About: I have loved animals my entire life. I currently have 7 dogs and 1 cat of my own and foster frequently. I volunteer yearly at an animal sanctuary in UT. I transport dogs and cats for rescues. I have participated in many dog/puppy training classes and would continue any training programs for you while your baby is in my care.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them comfortable. I’m very dependable and I know how important communication is, I’m happy to send photo updates during visits so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve had animals in my life since I was five years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets over the years. I’ve always had my own dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with different personalities and care routines. In my thirties I also worked with dog rescues, helping care for and support dogs in transition. While I stepped back from rescue work when my daughter was young, my love of animals has always remained a big part of my life. Because of this background, I’m very patient and attentive and understand that every pet has their own temperament and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I keep my schedule manageable, I’m able to be reliable and consistent with visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets individual attention and care. I’m happy to work with owners to accommodate their pet’s normal routine and can often be flexible with scheduling when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I closely supervise pets to keep them safe. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will contact you right away if anything seems unusual. I’m happy to follow any detailed instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or special care.

Whether its feeding and or playing or walking I am there to care for your pet in the time of need.
“Darcy is great with my 2 girls! On nights when I work late it's awesome to get some cute pics during the middle of the day letting me know they got out and had some fresh air. I could tell immediately she was a true dog lover! Very quick to answer any messages I send, checks they have water before she leaves, and always sends me a report of what they did that day as well as multiple pictures ☺ thank you so much Darcy!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was born with my first Golden Retriever “Missy”. My family has had a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters and bunnies, all the way to horses. I am often called on by my fiends to pet sit as I am known as the friend with a surplus of pets. I currently have a small dog named Munchie with many different health problems such as anxiety and epilepsy which gives me experience in caring for dogs with specific needs. I also currently have a large dog who is a Shepard, Boxer mix named Leo who gives me experience in caring for large dogs and their active and rambunctious needs. Along with my two dogs I have four cats who give me experience in the joy of caring for cats. As a pet owner I know the struggle of finding a good and trustworthy pet sitter. That is why I want to be able to be that pet sitter that will allow you to enjoy your vacation or go to work with the peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. I am currently a student at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. Due to my class schedule I have blocks of time in which I am not in class or doing homework that I would love to be able to fill with hanging out with dogs:) Due to the fact that I am a college student I do not have the home environment to be able to care for your dog at my house. But I will give them the love and attention they need during my drop-in visits with lots of pets, playtime, walks and treats!

“Brittany and her family are the BEST! Our Simon loves going there! He gets the best care and has so much fun. Brittany is a great communicator and sends regular updates and pictures. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“I dropped off my 11 month old, highly energetic, golden doodle for her first time away from home with some trepidation. She instantly became part of the family and made new puppy friends too! Frequent updates put my mind at ease. I think she's a bit bored now she's home!”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Catherine was an excellent boarder for our dog Forest. She is a true dog lover, and her home is welcoming and with a large yard, ideal for our active dog Forest. During his one-week stay, she provided regul;ar updates and photos. Forest came home a happy pup! My wife and I highly recommend Catherine.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Brittany was so great about communicating and sending pictures of all the fun activities she did with our lab! She is very hands on and excellent with making our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use again :)”
“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Very sweet and willing to work with me on drop off and pick up times which I appreciated so much! Even gave a check in to let me know how how my pup was doing halfway through the stay. Definitely would hire again for our next vacation”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Kristin is the best! She loves our dog like her own. He is so happy to be at her house with her family. When he comes home, he pouts for a few days! We are so lucky we found her to watch our dog!! Thank you!!”
“Sherry gave my dogs the attention and affection they needed while they were in her care. She has gone above and beyond for my one dog whom is a little difficult. We had a great experience.”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
“Anne-Marie and Steve are truly wonderful people with a genuine love for dogs. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby at their home, we felt at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They kept us updated regularly, reassuring us that he was safe, happy, and well-loved while we were away. Since our dog requires daily grooming and a bit of extra care, it meant the world to us to know he was in such attentive and capable hands. We deeply appreciate the love and dedication they showed, treating him as if he were their own. Thank you, Anne-Marie and Steve—we are so grateful!”
“Return customer here - Stephen is the only dog sitter we would ever use for our pup. He is reliable, responsive, and sends tons of photos while your pup is in his care. Thank you for everything Stephen”
“Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my Willow! You and your family did a wonderful job with her over night visit. I am so blessed to have found you. This is a super family and I would love have them care for my sweet dog anytime. Our communication was fabulous and the photos you shared are so appreciated THANK YOU❤️”
