“Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“This was Rico’s first time staying away and he warmed up and adjusted quickly. I appreciate feeling included with all picture and video updates on how his days were during his stay. Rico made friends and burned so much energy and immediately took a nap on our way back. Glad I found a trusted local dog sitter to take care of Rico. He’ll be back! 😁”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Nala! She took such great care of her, and Nala had the best time playing and getting lots of love. You can tell Amber really knows how to make dogs feel at home. We would definitely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Very flexible with managing my dog’s medication and restrictions! Would have preferred more communication while my dog was there but he seemed great at pickup.”
“Excellent Sitter. Probably around my 5-6th time returning. My pup always returns home happy and tired from all the playing and running outside. Will continue to use”
“Alberta took great care of our dog, Mimi! She was responsive, friendly, and made sure Mimi was comfortable and happy while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I could tell from the first meet and greet that Nick and his family would take great care of my Cora. The daily updates that Nick sent showed Cora fitting in just like one of the family. She can be a bit of a handful but they did a great job.”
“My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”
“Claudia took such amazing care of my dog! She shared lots of photos and detailed updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She not only took him out for walks but also played with him at home and even let him snuggle with her at night. My pup absolutely adored her — when it was time to leave, he even sat on the lawn refusing to go, with watery eyes. It’s clear he felt very loved and happy with Claudia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💛🐾”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“My dog Gus had a great time at Nicole’s house. The yard is nice and big and my dog got along well with Nicole’s dog. Nicole was very professional and we appreciated the regular updates and pictures. We will definitely book with Nicole again!”
“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”

“Alex was exactly what Little Bear and I needed for this weekend! I needed to go out of town for work and Alex was definitely a kind kindred spirit who both Little Bear and I welcomed and felt extremely comfortable with. After going through nightmares with cat sitting services, I believe Little Bear and I have found our forever cat sitter! She did an awesome job, her communication was on point, very resourceful, she was amazing with time management and most importantly my Little Bear felt comfortable with her from the very beginning! He didn't have to warm up to her and came out during our initial meeting. Alex, thank you so much we are so happy to have you as part of our care team!”
“Toni is a wonderful pet sitter! You can tell that she has a passion for animals and took care of my two cats like they were her own. She was super communicative and flexible, and left my apartment in the exact condition as when I left. I could not recommend her enough and will definitely be asking her back for my next trip. Thank you so much Toni!”
“Joseph was great with our kitties, and made our first experience with Rover wonderful. Joseph was able to pickup the last minute request and was a lifesaver. We’d recommend anyone needs care for their fur babies.”
“Christa was amazing with my 2 kitties! She was very professional, communicative and shared lots of pics during her visits which put my mind at ease. I definitely recommend her and would hire again!”
“She was so kind and thoughtful with our sweet babies She gave off such a good energy, and I had no hesitations about leaving them with her. The care and love she has for dogs absolutely comes through. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I have had dogs in my home my entire life who have ranged from sedentary to pulling you down the street! I take time to understand each pets unique needs and make sure that our time together is well spent from the owner's perspective and the pet's! I work full time from 7-4pm Monday to Friday. My availability is anytime after 4pm but before 9pm on weekdays and anytime after 8am but before 10pm on weekends. I live with my fiance who is a veterinary nurse, our 10 year old dog, and 8 year old cat in an apartment. We have easy access to a large park with walking trails and can easily find fun routes around New areas!
“This was our first time using Rover and Rita was our pet sitter. She was absolutely lovely and took such great care of our Kitty, Zoey. She checked in every day at the same time and sent pictures too. She was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. I would highly recommend Rita and hope to have her take care of Zoey in the future. Thank you Rita and Rover.com!”
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote Monday - Wednesday. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park
“She is amazing! super responsible and quick to respond. She treated my cats with so much care and kindness, and the regular photo updates after visiting gave me real peace of mind.”
About: I believe in meeting cats where they are rather than forcing interactions. I speak calmly, approach gently, and give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. Building trust at their pace is one of my favorite parts of caring for cats. My own orange tabby, Ari, is my playful little shadow. He loves to be involved in whatever I’m doing, and I’m always happy to make room for him along the way. When I lived in California, my landlord had an indoor/outdoor cat who slowly began to trust me. Over time, she started spending more and more time at my apartment, eventually choosing to sleep there because it was a calm, peaceful place for her after her owner got a dog she didn’t always enjoy being around. It meant a lot to know she felt safe with me, and I’d love to provide that same sense of comfort and security for your cat while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my own kitty for the past 4yrs, as well as been a resource for family members & friend’s cats in that time. The type of services I can provide are grooming (brushing, nail clipping -as long as they’re friendly!!-) eye/ear drop administration and of course, litter box cleanup. I also love playing w the lil ones until they get tired so if they have any toys they particularly enjoy, I’m happy to toss those around! My availability is typically Sun-Thurs, anytime throughout the day as long as I have prior notice, and can stay long enough to take plenty of pictures & make sure your kitty feels loved on ~
“Mary took wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Archie, for an extended period, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care she provided. She arrived on time each day and shared plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Mary and would absolutely use her again.”
“Linda was beyond fantastic. Not only was she such a kindhearted person, but she truly loves animals through and through. For my first service, I know it won’t be my last!”
“We would absolutely use Sarah again. She was so kind and compassionate. You could tell she really enjoyed taking care of our cat. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos while keeping us updated. She stayed overnight and kept the house clean. Wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again!”
About: I started caring for cats in middle school when I became a volunteer coordinator at a local animal shelter. There, I would socialize with the kittens and clean their rooms. I would introduce potential owners to the cats and connect them with a perfect match. I got my own cat in high school when my family took in a pregnant stray that followed me home one day and never left. She had two kittens so now we my parents have three cats! After I graduated college, I adopted a six month old kitten named Pearl (but I changed it to Willow). She had an upper respiratory infection and an eye ulcer that were being treated when I adopted her. Now, she’s almost two and still struggles with eye problems but that doesn’t stop her.
“Rebecca is a great petsitter! She’s responsive, communicative, thoughtful, and very engaged. Our cats loved her (and one of them is a hard nut to crack) and we felt really comfortable having her care for them while we were traveling. Heartily recommend Rebecca!”

“Incredible! Another great day for Pablo with Joseph. Lots of photos, great care and plenty of outdoor play time. It’s more like a vacation for Pablo only if he could express😊 thanks Joseph!”
About: I’m a devout animal lover with two dogs of my own and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. My senior dog recently passed from a rare lung cancer so I’m experienced in delivering oral medication, round the clock care and attention, and moving at their pace. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your dog will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My Rover calendar is updated daily so that I can support any urgent needs, when available. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate, individualized attention all throughout the day. You will not find a sitter in Wilmington that is as attentive as I am. My pets are kept separate during boarding. Your dog will have access to the entire first floor and the fenced in-backyard. I have a dedicated bedroom for boarding where I can sleep with dogs who may have separation anxiety to ensure they are comfortable. Drop-in visits & Walks: I‘ll take my time getting to know your dog and make sure they’re comfortable with me being there. I like to sit with them for a few minutes before and after each walk to feel out their energy levels. On walks, I recognize that this is their social time so I go at their pace and let them get plenty of sniff time. I am very respectful of your home and will follow your instructions closely.
“Courtney was great with our dog! We needed to find a sitter last minute and she was happy to help out. She was quick to respond to everything, provided updates throughout the day, and kept our dog in great care. Would highly recommend!”
“Super thankful for Olivia! We’re so happy we found her! It’s been a challenging journey to find the doggy day care for our 11 week pup. When we finally found Olivia, she allowed us to have an informal interview with her which we were super thankful for because for some reason some sitters on here finds that offensive (?). She welcomed us into her gorgeous home and”
About: I’ve had dogs in my household since I was 5, meaning I’m skilled in taking care of dogs and am ready for anything they might need. I’ve dogs at for multiple neighbors of the years, and many of those dogs have been old dogs with specific instructions to keep them healthy. I’ve done multiple weeks of overnight care for dogs as well as simple daycare or dog walks for people that need help. I’m currently studying to become a vet and I would love to have the chance to get to know your furry companion! I am open to help out any day of the week as needed. I have a part-time job with schedule hours that change each week, but none of those hours include nighttime’s. I am willing to take your pet even last minute if I am capable. In my home, I make sure to let the dog out first thing in the morning and right before bed to allow them to use the bathroom as needed. In my household I take my dog for a walk around 9 every morning and 5 every night, then feeding him at 6pm. Other food given to him includes a treat in the morning and a couple in the afternoon that I put in his bowl. In between those times, I will spend time with my dog either sitting on the couch together watching tv or playing games.
About: Years of happy loving pet sitting! No hassle, great communication, very trustworthy! I will treat your pets like my very own! Minimum training if needed I I work part time so I have plenty of flexibility. I can do weekends, mornings, afternoon, overnights! The perfect place for when you decide to go on vacation. Your pets will be watched constantly throughout the time they are in my care. The environment is very clean and neat, and more importantly pet safe
“This was my first time leaving my dog so I was nervous, but my dog warmed up to Cecilia right away! It’s a great home for dogs with plenty of space. When I picked my dog up she was tired, calm, and so happy! Great experience:)”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs my whole life. Love getting to know individual pet personalities, taking nice walks, playing with favorite toys (even the super squeaky ones) and ensuring a feeling of safety and security. I’m currently working part time from home with lots of free time and flexibility. I have a lab/hound mix who loves walking the riverfront and playing fetch and meeting other dogs. I have a two story apartment in a very dog friendly building on the Christina River with easy access to the river walk and a local pet store. I have a brilliant 5 year old lab/hound mix named Cooper who loves socializing and is very playful but also enjoys his naps in the sun or on the couch.
About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.
“Lauren is very flexible and understanding and really great with Chai! Great with updates and giving Chai lots of opportunities to potty and exercise. Chai also gets along great with Lauren’s own pups!”
About: Hi I’m Jess! I’ve previously worked for petsmart and have owned pets all of my life! I’ve got experience as a bird owner for over 30 years with multiple types of birds and other animals such as dogs, cats, and handling small critters at Petsmart. I have volunteer experience with rescue dogs at a rescue in Pa in my twenties, volunteered at Tri State Bird Rescue, and Forgotten Cats for many years. I have been a sitter for dogs of all sizes including a coon hound, pit mix, corgi, and a golden doodle. I’ve even made homemade dog food when necessary! I have also been a sitter for cats! I’m willing to get my hands dirty and am used to cleaning up for and bathing dogs in my home as well! I love the outdoors and walking dogs, so your dog will get plenty of outside time. There is a state park close to my home that I frequent. If you have other animals in your home like Guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, lizards, etc I can care for them too with my knowledge from working at Petsmart. Helping me will be my significant other who currently works for petsmart also. I’m an animal lover at heart and will take great care of your pet as if it were my own! I’m home 24/7 to care for your pet, with a very flexible open schedule. I have nothing but lots of time to devote to your pet. I have a safe apartment complex with other leashed dogs that are all friendly surrounding me. My home is smoke free and we don’t use aerosols or candles due to owning birds. Our birds are kept separate from your animals and your pet will be supervised and played with and let out for potty breaks and walks every hour or two.
“Cindi is phenomenal with Finn! He absolutely loves going to her house and playing with all the other pups. She spends time to personally to get to know you and your pup. Makes you feel comfortable leaving your pet there. He has become more social and well-behaved for a new puppy. happy to have found her and honestly Finn never wants to leave haha!”
“Christie was great with Nyla on this last minute booking. Very communicative through the day with check-ins. Her dog is friendly and playful. Great for a puppy’s first mate.”
“Weiyu is a great sitter. Excellent communication and updates. She took great care of my puppy and he had a great time with her adorable mini doxie. Would definitely bring my dog back for another visit !”

“Our meet and greet with Joseph went so well! He was very kind and respectful. I could tell he really absorbed the information we gave him on our dog. He was proactive in interacting with our dog, but could also read our dog’s cues and knew when to give him space. Overall, our dog took to him really well and we are looking forward to continuing to work with Joseph!”
“Courtney is the best! She was available to walk my dog last minute and even stopped by for a meet and greet. Great communication. She took him to the park, which he loves. I felt like he was in good hands especially with her background as a vet tech. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is the calm, safe, and loving environment I provide for every pet I care for. Animals naturally tend to feel comfortable around me, and I take pride in building trust with them through patience, attention, and affection. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, energy level, and needs so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that’s active playtime, relaxing cuddles, or simply keeping them company and making them feel loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home as an online tutor. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets attention before, after, and in between tutoring sessions throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means relaxing indoors with cuddles and companionship or getting outside for walks, playtime, fresh air, and exercise. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. When outdoors, I stay very aware of our surroundings and communicate carefully with others before allowing any interactions with people or other animals. I always prioritize safe walks, playtime, and exercise. Indoors, I make sure the environment is clean and pet-safe by keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and enjoying their time with me. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so pets feel safe, cared for, and at home while their owners are away.
“Today was my dog’s first solo walk with Shanisa and I couldn’t be happier! Shanisa and I worked extensively with my dog to get him comfortable with her because he is usually very wary of strangers. He warmed up to Shanisa quickly and was comfortable with her in our home just by themselves. I now have more freedom and less worry knowing my dog will be safe and cared for when I cannot be home.”
About: I grew up with two funny little dogs, Kiwi (a Peekapoo) and Tegan (a Bichon Frisé), whom my mom and I trained from puppies. I’m now the proud cat mom to an orange tabby named Ari! I’m calm, patient, loving, and consistent with animals. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who required daily medication by injection, and I’m happy to provide that same gentle, attentive care for your pets if needed. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. :) I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and am often available for same-day bookings! Starting in August every Thursday, I will nanny for a wonderful five-month-old baby while also caring for her family’s two dogs and two cats. Outside of Thursdays, my schedule is very open. Because of my flexibility, your pets can receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date, communicate promptly, and strive to make every booking reliable, stress-free, and personalized to your pet’s needs. Every pet is unique, so I always begin by following the owner’s instructions and learning their routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they seem happy, comfortable, and healthy. If medications are needed, I’m happy to administer them as directed. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your pet is settled and I’ll send you an update with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs which taught me from an early age the responsibility and care that goes into looking after pets. I have two dogs: Molly & Zeus! Two rescues whom I love so much and follow me around like little shadows! I also have a gray tabby cat named Gin! I love my little trio! A few years ago, I also worked for a local pet care company where I traveled to care for both dogs and cats. I have experience administering insulin injections and oral medications, as well as providing daily care such as walks, playtime, brushing, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks while owners are away, including bringing in mail and putting trash cans out. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will care for your four-legged family exactly how I would want someone to care for mine! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have very open availability through May 31, 2026, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and daytime visits. After that, I will continue offering flexible availability with more evening availability during weekdays and open availability on weekends. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to work with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs! I will follow all instructions provided to ensure your pet’s routine is kept consistent and comfortable while you’re away. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks, playtime, and any medications as directed. Most importantly, I will give them plenty of love, attention, and patience, and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”

About: Proud owner of a Pomerianian since 2008. I currently volunteer with the Brandywine SPCA and have made some more friends! Experience with dogs of all sizes. Available 7 days a week; mornings, afternoons and evenings. I work from home and attend school part time. I’m readily available most days, feel free to contact me at my cell number. I understand that dogs all have different personalities. I believe in rewarding good behavior! Treats are excellent if your pets are anxious. I also value pet safety; using collars and harnesses when necessary :)
About: I’ve had my own dog for 15 years now. I have done favors for many friends/family/neighbors of mine helping them with their animal while away. I can go on daily walks with your dog. Weekends are my ideal availability, but I can accommodate through the week if necessary, even if it’s just to check in on a cat to make sure they have food and water. I have a fenced backyard for my older dog. We do go on walks daily when cognitively he is able too. I can crate the dog if necessary. I give baths monthly and always make sure to have treats for him.

“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“This was Rico’s first time staying away and he warmed up and adjusted quickly. I appreciate feeling included with all picture and video updates on how his days were during his stay. Rico made friends and burned so much energy and immediately took a nap on our way back. Glad I found a trusted local dog sitter to take care of Rico. He’ll be back! 😁”
“Very flexible with managing my dog’s medication and restrictions! Would have preferred more communication while my dog was there but he seemed great at pickup.”
“Excellent Sitter. Probably around my 5-6th time returning. My pup always returns home happy and tired from all the playing and running outside. Will continue to use”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I could tell from the first meet and greet that Nick and his family would take great care of my Cora. The daily updates that Nick sent showed Cora fitting in just like one of the family. She can be a bit of a handful but they did a great job.”
“My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”
“Dreamer had a great time! Kelly took great care of him and kept me updated on how he was doing and sent some great pics as well. Would highly recommend Kelly to watch your furry kids.”
“We were very nervous to leave Calvin for a family vacation, but Kaycie and her husband took such great care of him and sent us pictures throughout the week of his exploits. I really appreciated the attention that Calvin got since they were not a bunch of other dogs staying there at the same time. We definitely book with Kaycie again!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”
