“Loved her!! Got daily pics and updates which was AMAZING! My pup was definitely loved while she was there and made our trip less stressful knowing she was in a good home :)”
“I left my Baby (Mr. Prince) with Ms. Geneva and will plan to have her sit for us again. She was courteous and polite. She kept me updated on how he was doing as well as sent pictures. This really eased my mind without me even asking her to. I met her the day before and felt comfortable. I highly recommend her for sitting and as I stated earlier, I plan to utilize her services again.”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young, for about 8 years now as well as dog sat my older sisters two dogs and my oldest sisters three cats. I’ve also house sat for my cousins and grandparents various animals over the years and I love it. Meeting new pets warms my heart and brings me comfort as i’m not from the area it would be nice to get to meet some people from the area and make some new furry friends. I currently work nights so i’m free to pop over in the morning or afternoon and check in on the pets when needed or give them a walk! I love going on walks with my pets so if you want your pet to get a good walk in i’m your gal! I also really enjoy trying to teach pets new tricks with treats and positive reinforcement, and bathing animals so I offer bathing/groom services if needed.
“Great experience. Lots of pictures. Took great care of our small 8lb puppy. Separate place in the house for small dog and slowly introduced her to their other dogs that were bigger. Would recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“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!”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”
“I was extremely nervous leaving our 1 year old with someone other than my family as she hasn't left us since we adopted last July. However, my fears were calmed leaving Demi with Nuno. My husband had a great meet and greet and then she stayed with Nuno for a couple nights. Nuno has a wonderful friendly dog, Bisca, and a large yard for the dogs to play. He also has children who showered Demi with love also. ❤️ Great communication while he watched her and I'm already booking him again for our next weekend away!”

“Shelby was great for our young puppy. We were worried because she’s super young and not even 4 months yet and we just got her a few weeks ago. But Shelby took care of her perfectly, followed her schedule and she had a great time. She kept us up to date with videos and photos, and our dog even got to get some socialization by becoming good buddies with her dogs. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future if we need to!”
“Jessica was amazing from the start of our initial communication. She was responsive, as well as accommodating. During the day, she submitted several photos and updates daily of his progress. If you are looking for a caring, patient sitter whom communicates efficiently you will not be disappointed with Jessica.”
“Wonderful, caring, considerate, and responsible family boarded our two pomskies. Responsive and communicative - sent pictures and updates. Dogs got walked and played with. Medicine was successfully administered. Generous and flexible- dogs were able to stay a few extra days to accommodate some changes in our plans. Dogs were well taken care of, would definitely book with Matt B again.”
“Karen took our Poodle puppy on a last minute request and we’re so happy she did! She stayed in contact throughout, sent tons of photos and videos and was very flexible with pickup and drop off time. She even gave us a little parting gift! Would definitely recommend Karen if you are in the New London/Mystic area!”
“Tina and her family are lovely! They looked after our dog Bolt for a few hours while we were at a game at Mohegan Sun. Tina was friendly, responsive, and accommodating, and Bolt had a great visit :)”
“Elisa was wonderful with communication and updates for my Bru, as well as very responsive. Very easy and professional to book with and very trustworthy. Would absolutely use her services again in the future. 🐾”
“Dani is great with dogs. Our dog Hart spent the week there while we were on vacation. We got pictures and updates every day and he enjoyed his time there. Dani is conveniently located for us and very kind. Your dog will be in great hands!”

“Charlene, as usual, was efficient, compatible with her care of Sunny & Katmandu. They seem quite content. Charlene also assisted me with turning off a running faucet, bringing in mail & other minor tasks. She writes funny, chatty messages & always sends nice pics. Charlene is my "go to" Rover assistant. I highly recommend here as a pet caregiver.”
“Natalie stayed for two weeks with our cat who is turning 16 next month. She did a fabulous job caring for our cat. I felt very comfortable having Natalie watching her. Natalie made sure to keep us updated. I never had the thought of I hope everything is ok but I knew if I needed to I could reach out anytime and Natalie would respond. Not only did Natalie take great care of our cat but she also kept an eye on the house. I would not hesitate to have Natalie back and am so happy to have found her!”
“Kourtney did a great job with my 4 cats and made sure their needs were met during our vacation. She was very good with communication and sending photos. I would recommend her.”
“Britney was reliable and did a great job taking care of our cat with drop in visits I especially liked that she confirmed each day that every task we asked her to do was done and she sent pictures each day which was fun and reassuring to see.”
“Mary took great care of my cat over the weekend. He's usually very shy, but she got him to come out and sent the cutest pictures. She was very kind, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free.”
About: I've had cats for most of my life, since I was about 4 years old. I also cat sit for my aunt whenever she needs me to. I've taken care of domestic short-hair, Siamese, Maine Coon, and Russian blue cats, from kittens to adults.
“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”
“I can’t be more delighted to have Serena care for my girls. When I met up with Serena, she had a kind, soft demeanor with excellent communication skills. During her time, she bonded with my anxious kitty to the point kitty would follow Serena around the house and would wait by the door as she came back with the mail/trash. I am so appreciative of Serena and will ask for her to come back again.”
“Rebekah was extremely responsive and accommodating, and my cat seemed to really like her when she did her drop in visits while I was away. Very pleasant experience all around, highly recommend.”
“We booked Olivia for daily drop in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she was able to take glucose readings and provide him his daily insulin shots. We are incredibly thankful Olivia was able to add visits when our diabetic cat needed additional insulin shots. She sent pictures and videos daily and our cats loved her :) highly recommend!!”
“Jenna is the best sitter I have ever had! She is so accommodating and insanely flexible! When we got our new puppy Jenna made time to come over and meet him before me booking an appointment with her. This puppy was very unsocialized but took to her instantly. I was using her on a regular basis but my schedule changed. Now it’s just random times and she is always available! 10/10 I would and have recommended her to multiple people!”
“Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She watched my cat Otis for me semi last minute on a holiday weekend. He is a shy kitty but he was comfortable with her immediately. She was on time, communicative, and super sweet. Highly recommend!”

“Our Roo had a wonderful time. We picked him up and he was a very happy and tired boy. Suzanne has a great fenced back yard that is perfect for dogs. She’s very responsive and we so appreciated her taking Roo on fairly short notice. Thank you Suzanne.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and some friendly neighborhood chickens. I love them all! I’ve been walking dogs since I was a freshman in high school and I don’t think i’ll ever get tired of it! I have a very flexible schedule since I only have a part time job, and I take quite a bit of work from this app :) I love taking walks, so I provide anywhere from two to four potty breaks or trips outside throughout the day. I also enjoy hiking and I like to bring pups with a bit more energy to tag along. I’m more than happy to stay in your home with your pets if discussed and my main concern is that your pets are happy, safe, and just like you left them.
“Really needed someone last moment and Shelby was very quiet to respond. Very responsive to any messages I sent and sent pictures and updates throughout the day without me even needing to ask. Very pleasant experience, highly recommend. Shelby’s dog is very friendly so no need to worry about bringing your furry companion over for the day”
About: COVID19 & my services: Special precautions I am taking **Upon Request by you** - wearing gloves, spraying items I’ve touched with my Lysol before leaving (such as door knobs), wearing a face mask. Social distancing during your free meet and greet. Free Video call meet and greets upon request. Please continue reading for more info about me and my pet sitting services below! Thank you and be well. I love dogs and cats! My love for animals started early in life, growing up always having pets and even making some of my first few bucks dog walking for neighbor’s dogs. I come from a family of care-takers, nurses and teachers, so naturally, I love taking care of people and what better way to do that than ensure their pets are cared for, too! I will make sure your precious doggies and pets are loved and taken care of just like it was my own dog or pet. There’s nothing like the peace of mind, knowing your beloved fur-baby is getting the attention, food, water, bathroom breaks, belly rubs, butt scratches, and exercise he or she deserves while you’re away or at work. I’ll be sure to give your dog and/or cats lots of love! One of my proudest memories is when my dog graduated “Puppy Manors Class”. I am happy to know what you’d like to work on with your dog in terms of behavior and training, and help in any way I can - or, follow any commands and training strategies you already have in place. Cesar Millan is one of my favorite dog trainers, for the way he is able to understand dogs and speak their language. Something interesting I’ve learned from him is that dogs actually DO have a sense of time, “Your dog does have a sense of time — and misses you when you’re gone. If you think your dog knows when it’s time for dinner or a walk, you’re right! Dogs pick up on our routines and habits, and they also sense how much time has passed. One study showed how dogs responded differently to their owners being gone for different lengths of time.” I understand the value and importance of a reliable pet care taker - our animals depend on us and miss us just like humans do with their friends and family, that’s why I know how important having a reliable and loving pet sitter is. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you! Please message me first for your free meet and greet. Thank you!
“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.”
About: I grew up in a family that bred and raised Siberian Husky’s and always had dogs and cats ever since. This is my first pro gig and I am very excited.

While visiting your pet in your home, I will be extremely careful and conscientious of your pets habits and routines and also of your property
About: Hi! My husband and I are home full-time with our sweet dog, Susie—she loves having friends over. We’re in a duplex in Norwich with a private yard for safe play and potty breaks. Your pet will get attentive care, a comfy routine, and frequent photo updates so you can travel worry-free. We’re animal lovers who’ll send frequent updates and follow your instructions so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible :) Any questions? Please reach out anytime! We’re home full-time; our schedule is flexible: walks, feedings, playtime, and meds fit easily. We can mirror your pet’s routine and send updates throughout the day :) At our home: We start with a slow, supervised intro with our dog, Susie, and can offer separate spaces if needed. Pets enjoy our private yard for supervised potty/play and neighborhood leash walks. Meals and meds follow your schedule; crates are welcome if that’s their routine. Expect calm naps, toys/enrichment, and frequent photo/text updates. In your home: We mirror your pet’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, walks, crates/litter—while prioritizing safety with harness/leash checks and weather-aware timing. We respect your home (lights/locks, tidy bowls/litter) and can bring in mail or water plants. You’ll get an update after every visit with pics and notes, and we happily tailor care for shy or special-needs pets.
“Elizabeth and her family took such good care of our dog for the day. They provided a wonderful home with spacious backyard for him to run around with their golden retrievers, AND took him hiking in the snow (which our dog loves). We really appreciated Elizabeth accepting our booking request with pretty short notice as well. We definitely recommend Elizabeth!”
About: I have had dogs, various other pets, and have rescued quite a few wild animals throughout my life. My large immediate family always counts on me to watch their animals when they go on vacation. My son recently bought a house with a nice yard and he took his dog with him. As you can see from the photos, that dog and I spent a lot of time together. I still make his food from scratch and take him for hikes as often as I can. I make my own hours and now that I do not have a dog around pushing me to walk the town, several times a day, I feel this is a good fit to keep me active. I have a lot of experience with a 90lb nervous pitty, and have a number of safe and private locations in mind for walks. I also have a large crate and access to a large yard if needed. I genuinely care for Animals and will put in the effort it takes to ensure each unique personality has a great experience.
About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.
“Albert was so great with Banshee! Even though there were a lot of pups there, he was able to give Banshee special attention and even taught her some new tricks. She came home exhausted and am so happy she got to spend the day playing with other dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Jessica was great with our springer who has a lot of energy. We contacted Jessica last minute and with no hesitation she was available. She made our dog feel comfortable all day. She sent updates and pictures !! We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Thank you so much”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. In my neighborhood I am the trusted pet sitter and pet walker! I currently am a student I only have 2 classes a day so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I always follow the ground rules set by the owners. I do my best to make sure the pets do not get into anything that could cause them harm.
“Molly has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone, which limits what we can do during the week. We have been looking for someone to watch her regularly for church on Sundays though and I’m so glad we found Madelyn! We drop Molly off in the morning and pick her up a few hours later and we know she’s in good hands. Madelyn provides prompt communication and takes good care of our girl!”

“Charlene was fantastic, and great with our puppy Porter! She reached out in the morning to confirm, she was prompt, and very patient. She was happy to join myself on a walk with Porter through an area she was not familiar with, giving her a chance to become familiar with it. Charlene was very attentive and helpful on our walk, I trust her to take good care of my boy in the future!”
About: I've had cats since I was about 4 years old, and trained my own service dog (adopted as a senior from a pound) from 2016-2023, when she sadly passed. I've taken care of a range of pets belonging to family, friends, and family's friends and coworkers. I can handle pets of all ages, from kittens/puppies to senior animals, as well as working on training and house-breaking. I'm currently only working part-time with very few hours, so pet care is honestly how I'd like to spend my spare time and make my income. I'm very focused on the details of individual pet's care. I always make sure I understand the feeding schedules and amounts, how often the animals need to go outside, whether they can be off-leash in a fenced in area or if they need to be on an outside line or on a leash, whether or not cats go on walks, and I'm very careful to not leave human food around for them to get into. I always ask as many questions as possible to make sure I provide the best care for the pets I'm looking after.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs and cats in my family! I grew up with 2 small dogs (10lbs), both living until 15 years old. Our one girl Lilly needed medication for congestive heart failure twice a day everyday for years. We snuck it in with peanut butter…to her it was just a treat! I also have pet sit for my sister who has 2 large dogs (50lbs doodle & 100lbs golden retriever/German Shepard mix), and my aunt who has a German Shepard. I now live with my 2 cats, and 2 other cats of my family (4 total). I love my cats more than anything in the world, and make sure they are as spoiled as can be. I am comfortable taking cats outside on a harness and a leash! That’s how my cats go outside. I am comfortable taking care of dogs and cats, respecting their boundaries, and making sure that they are comfortable around me! I am a freelance makeup artist so most of my work is done on the weekends, leaving the weekdays almost completely open every week. I have plenty of time from morning until night! I have a lot of time for drop in visits, and walks, however because of my home situation with all of my cats, they would not be fond of other animals coming in, and I am too attached to leave my cats at night. I treat every pet that I meet like I am their favorite aunt that spoils them every time she comes over! I like to learn as much about them as possible so that I can respect them, their space, and their boundaries. I am very trusting when it comes to animals and rarely feel unsafe around them. It can be scary letting people into your home and caring for your pets and I understand that 100%, so I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible. I want each pet to have the best quality of life possible, and if I can assist with that I would love to.
“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”
About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs
“First impressions were excellent. She went out of her way to wake up early after a late shift just to meet beforehand, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions perfectly and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I only needed basic care—letting my pup out and feeding him—but she still went above and beyond my expectations. Very reliable and professional. I would absolutely recommend her and will most likely be booking with her again.”
About: I've been the owner a wonderful energetic, and curious Jack Russell for 8 wonderful years. Gus, and I have traveled all around North America and internationally to Europe and Mexico. think I make a good candidate because I have a great attitude, and truly want to make the experience great for both client and canine. It'd be my pleasure to care for your loved one today. Thanks! I'm currently only working part time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Let's chat and schedule something today friends! It's all about respect of personal space. It's about understanding the dynamic of the dog and owner and treating them how you would want your pup treated.

About: I’m been volunteering for dog walking since colleges in North Carolina dog shelter. Since then, I fell in love with dogs. Personally, I had a husky. I took care of him and he is so sweet. Doggy, my love!!!!! I’m available throughout the week. Starting from 11:00 am to 7:00pm. Personally, I take care of my dog and I generally take a dog walk whenever I’m free in the afternoon or night I normally have a single room for my dog to play or sleep around there. Also, it is free ranged. Normally, my dog will sleep besides my bed
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.
About: All my life, I’ve been around friend’s dogs, and families who have had dogs and cats. I’ve personally had dogs since as far back as I can remember. Growing up, I walked them, fed them, cleaned up after them, and played with them. Later, the two dogs I had of my own were allowed in all areas of the house, and, I would take them on hikes, play fetch, go on car rides, clean up after them, abs snuggle together at home. I’d be delighted to do the same for your pups! I now have two cats who live to play, lounge around, abs hangout with my husband and me. They have access to the whole house and just like my dogs from before, they are well cared for. Let me know what you need and I can work to accommodate you! I can be flexible and do my best during the week to assist you. November 4th is my last day with my full time job and Rover will be my main focus. I have two indoor cats that have access to the whole house. I feed them, play with them, and clean their litter boxes. My dogs were allowed in all areas of the house and I would take them out for walks, play in the yard, and I would clean up after them. I would do the same going over your house to watch your cat or dog.

Having the pet be comfortable with the new surroundings is vitally important.

“Loved her!! Got daily pics and updates which was AMAZING! My pup was definitely loved while she was there and made our trip less stressful knowing she was in a good home :)”
“I left my Baby (Mr. Prince) with Ms. Geneva and will plan to have her sit for us again. She was courteous and polite. She kept me updated on how he was doing as well as sent pictures. This really eased my mind without me even asking her to. I met her the day before and felt comfortable. I highly recommend her for sitting and as I stated earlier, I plan to utilize her services again.”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young, for about 8 years now as well as dog sat my older sisters two dogs and my oldest sisters three cats. I’ve also house sat for my cousins and grandparents various animals over the years and I love it. Meeting new pets warms my heart and brings me comfort as i’m not from the area it would be nice to get to meet some people from the area and make some new furry friends. I currently work nights so i’m free to pop over in the morning or afternoon and check in on the pets when needed or give them a walk! I love going on walks with my pets so if you want your pet to get a good walk in i’m your gal! I also really enjoy trying to teach pets new tricks with treats and positive reinforcement, and bathing animals so I offer bathing/groom services if needed.
“Great experience. Lots of pictures. Took great care of our small 8lb puppy. Separate place in the house for small dog and slowly introduced her to their other dogs that were bigger. Would recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“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!”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”

“I was extremely nervous leaving our 1 year old with someone other than my family as she hasn't left us since we adopted last July. However, my fears were calmed leaving Demi with Nuno. My husband had a great meet and greet and then she stayed with Nuno for a couple nights. Nuno has a wonderful friendly dog, Bisca, and a large yard for the dogs to play. He also has children who showered Demi with love also. ❤️ Great communication while he watched her and I'm already booking him again for our next weekend away!”

“Shelby was great for our young puppy. We were worried because she’s super young and not even 4 months yet and we just got her a few weeks ago. But Shelby took care of her perfectly, followed her schedule and she had a great time. She kept us up to date with videos and photos, and our dog even got to get some socialization by becoming good buddies with her dogs. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future if we need to!”

If you are looking for a caring, patient sitter whom communicates efficiently you will not be disappointed with Jessica.”
