“Sylvia was an incredible sitter! The moment my husband and I met her we knew she’d be great. She has such a lovely personality and you can tell how much she cares about animals. She made sure to keep us updated on how Trigger was doing and sending pictures, he looked so happy in all of them. When we picked him up, he was just happiest old pup. I most definitely recommend Sylvia to anyone that needs a sitter!”
“Jeanne was great with our dog! He was very well loved and taken care of. He enjoyed roaming around in her fenced backyard. She would send pictures and updates every morning. She was quick to respond if I had a question. Hope to have her watch Leo again when we are at the beach!”
“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”
“Eric wonderful care of our dog makes us very reassured that she is in good hands. She loves to be in his home and enjoy the back yard and attention that she gets every time is with him.”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”
“Thank you Kendra for taking such great care of Lucy for us. Kendra was amazing. She came through last minute for us and we can’t thank her enough. We could immediately tell when we meet her that Lucy was already so comfortable with her. She kept us informed each day of how things were going and was absolutely wonderful and so easy to talk and work with. We definitely plan on using her in the future.”
“My 3 yr old red lab was totally comfortable and at home with Bob & Susan. There were great with pre-visit info as well as ongoing communication during her stay. I’ll definately be bringing her back!”
“My dog was a little on edge due to the new environments at Jenna's home when I first dropped him off. But not too longer after I left, I received a photo of him lying on her lap as content as could be.”
“Ziggy appeared to enjoy his stay with Jacqueline and her son. He was nice and tired when we got him home. Jacqueline communicated promptly and sent photos during Ziggy’s stay. Many thanks!”
“There are not enough kind and positive words we can write regarding Mary Sue and the excellent and loving care she provided our dog, Ollie. As first time dog parents needing a boarding service, we were so fortunate to find Mary Sue on Rover. She sent detailed reports and photos each day during the week that we looked forward to and appreciated so much. Certainly helped put our minds at ease. Ollie most definitely enjoyed himself and we certainly plan to have him stay with Mary Sue again.”
“Gizmo had a wonderful time and was so well taken care of by Margit and Bill. Leaving him for over a week was so stressful to us as pet parents but the daily updates and photos took away any concerns we had. Leaving our precious baby with this wonderful caring couple who treated him as one of their own was a blessing. I know for sure Gizmo is missing hus Rover family already.”
“Lori was able to accommodate a last-minute sitter request for our senior dog and we are so appreciative. Our little guy, Finn, didn’t make it easy for her either particularly during feeding times. Lori hung in there and worked with him patiently. There was a high level of communication throughout his stay and lots of updates and photos too. Thank you Lori!!”
“Our dog, who can be a wee bit nervous, had such a lovely time with Jeremiah and his family! They were so kind and communicative, and we’ll happily trust them to care for her again. She can’t wait to be back for snuggles with the kids!”

“I highly recommend Iuliana as a cat sitter. She is dependable, trustworthy, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. Knowing my cats were in her care gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Iuliana is always prompt, communicates regularly, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. She is kind, compassionate, and has a natural way with animals that immediately puts both pets and owners at ease. My cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned home, which speaks volumes about the attention and affection she gave them.”
“Melanie did a great job of taking care of our two cats while I was away. I would highly recommend Melanie for your pet care needs. In fact we are in the process of booking Melanie again.”
“We met Alison for the first time today for a meet and greet. She was extremely friendly and charming. She listened to all of our needs and best of all, our boy Sherman absolutely loved her. We will be booking with her very soon.”
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful with our cats! This was a follow-up booking and once again she exceeded our expectations. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our pets. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-kept home. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel and fully trust that our cats are in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kasey again - highly recommend!”
“I left my little guy (cat) home for two weeks, for the first time. Jen was communicative during each drop-in, sent pictures, reported his behavior (even when he tried to follow her home!) and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands my whole vacation. She even brought in boxes that we delivered. I will most definitely ask Jen for her services in the future!!”
“I was beyond pleased with the services I received from Neena. She was very accommodating and sent pictures and updates of my pet while he was with her. I would definitely use her services again in the future!!”
“Jenna was very responsive. She respected my home but more importantly she took care of my 2 kitties for about 10 days. She made sure all their needs were cared for (fresh water, food and clean litter). I felt good about leaving them with Jenna.”
About: I currently have three very different cats—one older and feisty, one who prefers people over pets, and one who’s a total snuggler—so I’m comfortable handling all types of feline personalities. I’ve also given medication, cleaned ears, and trimmed claws, so I’m confident with basic care needs. Whether your cat wants attention, space, or structure, I always meet them where they are and keep their routine calm and consistent.
About: Ever since I can remember, cats have been a part of my everyday life. I grew up in a home filled with love—and 10 to 15 cats at any given time. My family and I rescue stray cats, and it’s taught me that every cat has a unique personality and story. I have worked at various shelters over the years, so have had experience with all different kinds of cats. I truly believe every cat deserves endless love, patience, and a place to feel safe.
“Carlie did a great job with both my big and little dogs! She came over for a meet and greet - and they instantly took to her. She was on time, followed directions, and was very friendly! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’ve been a proud cat parent for over 5 years and have also cared for my roommate’s energetic dog—so I understand the different needs and personalities pets can have. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to keep them happy and safe while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s needs—whether it’s daytime visits, evening walks, or overnight stays including weekdays, weekends, and some holidays I follow the owner's instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for the pet. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to leave the home just as I found it—clean and tidy.
“Sydney is fantastic! She house-sat for us for five nights, caring for our elderly cat, Frankie, while we were out of the country. Frankie has medical issues that require frequent medication every 6–8 hours, and Sydney handled it all with ease. She had no trouble administering his pills and liquid meds and kept us updated with photos and messages at least three times a day. Knowing Frankie was in such capable hands made our trip much more relaxing. We will definitely ask for Sydney’s help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
About: We are a household of animal lovers! Both my husband and I have had dogs and cats all of our lives, even spent time training dogs to be good citizens and therapy dogs. We currently have four dogs and two kids. All of our dogs are rescues. They are super lovable and playful. We also volunteer for a beagle rescue and foster dogs. Your pets will get lots of snuggles and playtime when we watch and walk them. For visits and walks, your pup will love the snuggles and time spent playing and walking your area (or even going for a car ride or to a walking trail or dog park). For cat visits, we will give playtime indoors. We have helped many family members and friends with pet care when they are away. We have experience in all diets, giving oral meds and senior dog care. We hope that you will give our services a try. I am self employed and work from home. Typically available for mid day let out/walk. If your pet stays with us we have a great yard for play and we do multiple walks a day. We regularly foster dogs so our dogs are very comfortable with other dogs visiting. We treat any dog that stays with us or that we visit just like our own. We provide a loving, fun place for your pet while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of cats of all ages for over 10 years. I’m comfortable with all needs and have experience with kittens and elderly cats. I’m as hand-on as the cats and owners are comfortable with an am very flexible!

Our pup Ripley had a great day and when we arrived, she was happy to see us but also was super happy to stay and hang out while we chatted. She was treated so well and they followed our feeding schedule. I would recommend them over and over again. Their pups are great and got along very well with ours. We look forward to using them again. Great, great GREAT!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I’m very aware of the care they need and I’m very passionate about keeping my pets happy. Right now I have 2 chihuahuas and a cat who I love unconditionally. In my free time I volunteer as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help those pets who are not as fortunate to be in a loving home. I would love to help keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. I’ve learned a lot through my work at the animal shelter on how to work with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Keeping pets feeling happy and loved will always be a big goal of mine because they deserve a good life. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to take care of your dog or cat during the week! I currently have my own cat and he is very friendly towards all other animals including dogs of all sizes and ages that’s he’s met
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”

“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“I’m so thankful to have found Joanna! She was so kind and accommodating to our schedule, and gave our dog so much love and care. She even walked him just before I picked him up and made sure he was completely ready to go. Would definitely go out of my way to have Tico stay with her again, thank you Joanna!”
“Nicola is awesome! She takes such great care of my pupper. She was the first person I connected with on Rover for doggy daycare, and she quickly eased all my nerves. My dog, Roland, gets super excited on the mornings that he knows he’s going to visit her and Luna!”
“I am so grateful I found Jill. It was very last minute as I didn’t know that you can’t have dogs on beaches. My dog is usually good with other dogs but sometimes can have issues with bigger dogs. Not with Jill! She was awesome. Kept reassuring me, sent lots of pics and videos. It was nice to jump in the ocean, come back and get a cute pic sent to you. Thanks Jill! You are my go to whenever I come to Ocean City! ❤️”
“Bella loved her stay and playing with John' pup Maddie. John was awesome! Bella took right to him and he was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella is older and suffers from kidney disease but that did not deter John. I definitely recommend John and will be using his services in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 of my own who I take out and play fetch daily. My family and friend rely on me to help with their pets while at work. I am most definitely a dog mom and love dogs!! I’m currently working part-time. Both me and my partner are available weekdays and weekends. We are very flexible with our schedules. Between the two of us we can make it work to meet your needs. I have a large fenced in yard. Your dog must be friendly with other dogs and children if looking to have your pet stay with me.
“This was my first time using Rover and there were a large number of choices. I chose Bob and Susan because of their stated experience and the very positive reviews. I was very happy with the care and attention they paid to PJ for his doggy daycare. They gently introduced him to some other doggy guests of his size and he had a ball and plenty of activity. When I am back in the area, I"ll return here.”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and it was my responsibility since I was young to care for our family pets! I am 32, and at the age of 13 I started housesitting dogs/cats for neighbors and friends. Consistently in the last 10 years, I have taken care of pets for family and friends while they are out of town. I have a 15 year old dog who is blind, so I understand the desire to have someone give specific care and love to an animal with special needs. Every animal I take care of, I care for like it's my own! I have cared for multiple large dogs at once, dogs with high energy demands, as well as dogs as young as puppies or as old as seniors. I have also been a nanny for the last 5 years, so respecting someone’s home and space is essential to me. I have recently moved to Delaware to be closer to family. With this new move, I also hope to focus on my art career and get more involved in the community. With that being said, my schedule is very flexible! I am a morning-person who loves to exercise early, so morning dog walks/pet care wouldn't be a problem! I also do not mind being up later at night, if that is what your pet needs. I care for other’s homes and pets how I would want someone to care for my own. I am extremely respectful, and will make sure your pet and home are my first priority! I am very good at following specific instructions for pet-care in one’s own home. I have experience caring for both old and young pets, as well as pets with additional needs, such as routine medications and vitamins. When housesitting, I am also able to give animals as many walks/play time as desired. Although I have a dog of my own, I will not be bringing my dog along for walks/housesitting (my husband is able to watch him at home). I also am in constant communication with the owner, when caring for their pet.
“Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Cammie and I am looking to help you with all your pet sitting needs. Whether it is a short walk during the work day or overnight care while on vacation, I am here to give as much love to your pets as you do! I currently work from home, so my workday is very flexible! Whether it’s short walks during the workday or longer visits on weekends, my schedule is highly adaptable. I follow the owner’s instructions when caring for their animals. By providing a safe and comfortable environment, pets can maintain familiarity with their surroundings and routines, just as their owners would.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.
“I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have three cats and a puppy of my own. I’ve also had senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I’m completely comfortable giving medication and paying attention to signs of stress or discomfort. As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a calm, patient, and dependable approach to every visit. I always make sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for—whether that means playtime, gentle company, or simply sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make each visit stress-free for both you and your pet. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cat care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I don’t currently offer overnights or boarding, I’m able to stop by multiple times a day as needed. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I stick to your normal feeding, walking, and play routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure water and litter boxes are fresh. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to give extra cuddles to the social ones. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I give my own.
“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me! My mom is a veterinary technician, and between her experience and having five dogs of our own (plus fostering dogs!), I've had the opportunity to be around all kinds of personalities, ages, and energy levels. I've also been dog sitting for over 10 years for friends, family, neighbors, and other pet owners. As a recent college graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education, I'm responsible, dependable, and pay close attention to details. If your dog has a specific routine, I'll make sure to follow it! Whether it's feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to provide the care your pup is used to. I'm spending the summer living at the beach, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs in my care! I truly love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your pup like family and do everything I can to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time at a gym with flexible hours, and my shifts are usually no more than five hours long. This gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve! I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they are in reliable hands!
About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior. Think about this summer when you are out having fun and have to rush home to feed or walk your pet. I don't overnight in my home or yours because I have four animals of my own. Sorry. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. Most any time of day . Night time in a well lit area is preferred for me I don't overnight here or at you home as I have to be here for my own pets. But I can spend the day .

“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”
“My 3 yr old red lab was totally comfortable and at home with Bob & Susan. There were great with pre-visit info as well as ongoing communication during her stay. I’ll definately be bringing her back!”
“My dog was a little on edge due to the new environments at Jenna's home when I first dropped him off. But not too longer after I left, I received a photo of him lying on her lap as content as could be.”
“Ziggy appeared to enjoy his stay with Jacqueline and her son. He was nice and tired when we got him home. Jacqueline communicated promptly and sent photos during Ziggy’s stay. Many thanks!”
“Lori was able to accommodate a last-minute sitter request for our senior dog and we are so appreciative. Our little guy, Finn, didn’t make it easy for her either particularly during feeding times. Lori hung in there and worked with him patiently. There was a high level of communication throughout his stay and lots of updates and photos too. Thank you Lori!!”
“Our dog, who can be a wee bit nervous, had such a lovely time with Jeremiah and his family! They were so kind and communicative, and we’ll happily trust them to care for her again. She can’t wait to be back for snuggles with the kids!”
“Christina and her family were great! We had to find a last minute sitter for our dog, Charlie, who we had never left with anyone but family before. We were nervous to leave her with someone we’d never met, but Christina eased all of our fears. We received multiple pictures every day of Char having a blast. She clearly had a great time when we picked and we would definitely have her stay with Christina again!”
“I am so incredibly grateful for Samantha and her family. Her communication from the start was so reassuring. She asked all the right questions when I dropped her off and I knew she was in good hands. She sent tons of pictures and it was clear that Daisy was totally enjoying herself and felt comfortable in her new space. When I picked her up, my heart totally melted by how happy she was. I will ABSOLUTELY be using Samantha in the future! I highly recommend!”
“Marvina took fabulous care of my lab, Maizey. I was so nervous to leave her, but Marvina put all my fears to rest. Marvina is flexible, caring, and knowledgeable about animals! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Maizey with her again.”
“I highly recommend Jill! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and she did SO well with him. We received photos and videos of him daily, and it was clear that he was active and happy. Jill is such a kind and caring person. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
About: I love dogs and up until 3 months ago I had a rescue dog for 8 years until she developed serious medical issuse and I had her euthanized. I miss here and she was spoiled and I will do the same for your dog. I will provide plenty of walks and a nice fenced in backyard where your pet can roam free to do whatever. I allowed my dog to have free roam of my house, and your pet will have the same freedom, and I have a nice porch where your pet can lay outside and enjoy the sights. I am 75 and a retired RN. I live alone so my schedule is very flexible, with the appropriate notification. I am an early riser so your pet will be let out back first thing in the morning, then - 2or 3 walks during the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a fenced in deck above the garage so your pet can be safe in either one of the locations.
