“I last minute needed an overnight sitter for my dog Paco while passing through Orlando. Sarahi and Leandro communicated quickly with me, have reasonable rates, were kind, sent lots of pictures and a video of Paco, have a nice fenced in backyard, and gifted us a thank you note for letting them watch my kiddo. I was able to enjoy my time in Orlando without being worried about my dog, I knew he was being well taken care of. I would definitely use their services again.”
“April was wonderful. We took a vacation and had horrible phone service. I was nervous because I wasn’t able to receive pictures and text to check in on Kobe. However, I was rest assured because we did a meet and greet with April and she was so nice and welcoming. I would recommend and Kobe will be back! Thank you!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vanessa, thank you so much for understanding and working with me to board Jace. A few hours before I was supposed to drop Jace off, he was attacked by another dog and had to be taken to the emergency vet. I was preparing to cancel my next day flight, but Vanessa was incredibly kind, flexible, and understanding during such a stressful situation. She even worked with me to allow a very late drop-off after midnight. When I picked Jace up, he was happy and had recovered so well, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly can’t thank Vanessa and her family enough for the care, compassion, and love they showed my dog. They are an amazing, animal-loving family, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their pet.”
“Ariana was incredible and I’m so glad I found her for my pup Kaia. She was overly communicative, sent tons of photos and videos and was quick to respond at all times. You can tell she loves dogs and takes pride in what she does. Kaia will absolutely be a repeat customer with her (and all her doggie friends!) thank you Ariana for making this a seamless experience and tackling my anxiety around leaving her with someone after a not so great experience previously with a different sitter, you’re the best!”
“2nd time leaving my pets with them and they always come back to me in the same condition I left them in! They’re treated well and played with and loved on while I’m away. So appreciative of that. Will continue to use them when we leave town!”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Carl was great at keeping us informed of our Coco's day to day experience. Everything was as we expected, the communication, cleanliness, hospitality, etc. Thank you and hopefully see you soon!”
“Mr Cookie has become a part of Brooke’s family and we were able to enjoy our vacation know he was so loved. Thanks Brooke! We will contact you again as Mr Cookie’s home away from home!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Marie, she has an amazing yard and a super dog friendly house, and her dog Napo is just the sweetest. My dog is the nervous and reserved type, but by the second day of her stay she was zooming around the yard and actually enjoying herself. Marie sent lots of pictures and updates and responded to questions quickly, and she was flexible in figuring out a pick up time that worked with both of our schedules. My dog came home happy and exhausted. 5 stars all the way!”
“Kayla was amazing! I recently used Kayla's services for boarding my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met Kayla, I felt assured that my furry friend was in good hands. They were genuinely caring and attentive to my dog's needs. The communication was excellent throughout the stay. I received updates, including pictures and videos, which made me feel connected even while I was away. Kayla's home was safe, clean, and dog-friendly, providing a comfortable environment for my pet. Most importantly, my dog seemed happy and well-cared for when we picked him up. This peace of mind is priceless for any pet owner. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Kayla, for the wonderful care!”
“My 2 puppies had a great time with Al and his family! They took excellent care of them like they were their own! Al sent me daily pictures and I knew they were having a great time with his kids. They were very flexible when I needed to extend my trip. And when I picked them up, they were given baths before I brought them home! Will definitely book Al and his family again! Thank you for taking great care of Romeo and Juliet!”
“When we needed a pet sitter last minute, Bruce kindly took in our dog, Bernard. My mom had to evacuate to our home due to Hurricane Florence in coastal NC, and she has dogs of her own who we weren’t sure would get along with Bernard. We had to add days to Bernard’s stay multiple times due to my mom not being able to get home, and Bruce made room for him every time, even giving us a discounted rate out of kindness and understanding of the situation that was out of our control. Bernard was there for 2 weeks total, and he looked completely content and like he was having a ball in every photo Bruce sent me. It was like a vacation for Bernard! Thanks, Bruce, for your kindness, flexibility, understanding, and excellent care!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated my dogs like they were hers. I could genuinely feel the motherly love. lol. I for sure would rebook with Mya if possible. She went above and beyond and I could tell my dogs miss her.”
“Mindy and her family are amazing! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were wonderful! They are friendly, reliable, and provided excellent communication throughout our trip. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear they truly treat the dogs like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. We never had to worry while we were away because we knew our pups were in good hands. We highly recommend their services and will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Cristal took amazing care of my little Lily! I like to believe that dogs just know if a person has a good spirit or not, and Lily warmed up to Cristal pretty much immediately. Great communication and I can tell Cristal really cared for the well being of my dog. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“duke lovesss his staycations at Lilianas I can’t say enough good things on how she spoils to a good time and you know even your handful of a dog is in the best of care. Duke can’t get out of the car quick enough to see her when we arrive and comes home a happy tired out pup !”
“Christy was amazing with our dog Kimber. This is the second time we have used Christie’s services and we are very satisfied. She takes such good care of Kimber and Kimber loves to stay with Christy. 😎”
“Emily was great from the very beginning all the way through the booking! Went out of her way to do a meet and greet since my little pug is somewhat anxious, sent pix and updates every day and took great care of him. Will def use Emily the next time I need a sitter! Would recommend!”

She spent time cuddling with them too. ❤️❤️ one of our dogs is sensitive to new people and she is patient and slow with him and he loves her!”

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Boba and Taxi! She went above and beyond, and we could tell from her updates that she genuinely cares about animals. She was so attentive and affectionate with them while we were on our cruise, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter.”
“It was our first time trying out Rover for care for our senior cat, second cat, and 2 Guinea pigs and we’re very happy we went with Pamela! Pamela was very reliable and a natural with our pets. She was professional and communicative and we had full confidence our pets would do well in her hands. We will be coming back for Pamela for future pet sitting needs for sure and recommend her to anyone else looking for quality care for their pets.”

“I don’t know where to begin, but all I can say is this my little boy received the best care. It was the first time leaving him with someone to babysit him & he did really amazing. From the care that my baby received to being washed & groom it was definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend Fahriye & her husband to anyone. Will definitely be booking back in the future !”

Their home was very nice and clean which is a top priority for me. Ella was so kind and she was GREAT with my fur-baby. I love that Sir Spencer got all the attention because she only keeps one dog at a time. Ella was very thorough with asking questions about Sir Spencer and I was very impressed that before our meet and greet she had already read his profile!! I received photos and videos throughout the day. She communicated with me and responded very quickly. Sir Spencer will definitely be back!!! Ella was Fantastic!!!!!”
About: I have been a Certified Veterinary Assistant for 10 years. I also have two Certified Therapy Dogs. We visit schools, hospitals, nursing homes and other events. I also care for dogs in my home when friends go on vacation. I take in only one at a time. I’m retired and work out five days a week. I go to the gym, and do Tai Chi. I also volunteer at least 4-6 days a month with my therapy dogs. I have an enclosed lanai with a pool, in case your pup likes to swim! I have two dogs to keep your baby company. We also have a private dog park in my development that is for residents only so your pup can get exercise and play time every day!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and everyone in my family has a dog as well. I have experience caring for my own pets which has included walks, play time, and administering oral medication! As well as helping take care of friends’ and family members’ dogs, this has spanned for the last 10 years. I currently help my roommate care for her dog, including walks, feeding, and keeping her company. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and enjoy spending time with them! I’m currently a part-time student at UCF which gives me plenty of time for fun and caring for your dogs! I am available Monday-Friday 9:00am-8:00pm! I am also available to board your dogs or hang out with them during the day. We currently have a 2 year old doodle, Lilo, who loves other dogs. We have a dog park in the neighborhood and are located by UCF which offers trails for walking. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I stay attentive to their surroundings and needs while following the owner’s instructions and routines.
“Ashleigh and Travis accommodated a last minute request and they were fantastic with our dog Milly. She is typically an anxious dog but felt very comfortable with them. She settled in pretty quickly and they kept me updated during the day. I would book again.”
“First day today with Rose! I am so happy, communication was fantastic and my pup CLEARLY HAD THE BEST DAY! He did not even act like he missed me when I picked him up he had so much fun! He was definitely well cared for!”
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m Lexus. My mom, Tiffany, and I are a mother-daughter pet-care team. While a love for animals is at the heart of what we do, we believe pet parents deserve more than simply finding someone who loves animals; that’s just the beginning. We are insured, bonded, Pet CPR & First Aid certified, proud members of Pet Sitters International (the world’s leading educational organization for professional pet sitters), mentored by professional dog trainers, and we take a professional approach to the pets entrusted to us. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience in the dog-grooming industry, while my mom brings additional experience in animal care, safety, and behavior. We continue investing in education because understanding the animals we care for helps us provide safer, more thoughtful care. Professional Care With a Family Feel 💛 We take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and comfort level. Your pet is never just another reservation on our calendar. Our rates reflect the professional standards, education, safety, reliability, and individualized attention we bring to every booking. Because not all pet care is the same, and your pet deserves the difference. 🐾 Day Care & Boarding 🏡 We have a one-story home with a fenced backyard, two friendly small dogs, two cats, and a dedicated dog room for pups who prefer a quieter space. We never accept more than two guest dogs at a time, allowing us to provide more individualized attention in a calm environment. House Sitting & Drop-Ins 🐾 We maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home and privacy, and make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Meet & greets are required for all new clients because safety and trust always come first. Please read through remainder of profile for important information. We can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶💕 Availability: Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and individualized care throughout their stay. You can also expect regular communication, photos, and updates. Standard Stay vs. Constant Care Standard stays provide attentive, consistent care but are not 24/7 supervision. I may occasionally step out briefly for a nearby pet-care visit or personal errand, always planned around your pup’s routine and comfort. Dogs who cannot be left alone due to separation anxiety, medical needs, or other circumstances require Constant Care, offered at $250/day. This allows me to reserve my schedule exclusively for your pet and provide continuous supervision. Please disclose this need before booking so the rate can be adjusted accordingly. Start & End Times Arrival and departure times will fall within a 1 hour window. This helps me coordinate bookings and ensure every pet receives the attention they deserve with enough time for unexpected delays. Confirming Your Booking Per Rover policy, payment is required to confirm your reservation. Dates cannot be held until the booking is completed and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pending requests may be archived 24 hours after the meet & greet if not confirmed, as they can affect availability for other families. Cancellations Cancellations made within 7 days of a confirmed stay or 14 days of a holiday stay are non-refundable. Because pet care is my full-time work and reserved dates often prevent me from accepting other families, I appreciate your understanding. These guidelines allow me to maintain a high standard of care while keeping scheduling fair and organized for everyone. 💛🐾 Safety and Trust: I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, but safety is about more than certifications. As a pet owner and animal lover myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. During our meet & greet, I’ll ask plenty of questions about your pup: their personality, routine, quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable. It also gives you the chance to get to know me and ask anything you’d like. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident that your pup will be cared for with the same patience, attention, and genuine affection I’d want for my own.
“l so I have to say at this point, Cody is so comfortable going over Sarah's house because he gets to be in a very loving family environment, and he has his friends Mars & Pepper to play with! So he's often looking forward to going to visit over there and I appreciate everything they do! 🤗”
About: To start, I've had a dog when I was younger, a beautiful and energetic shepherd-mix. I've also had parrots and cats too. I love, love animals! I personally believe every animal has a soul and is different and should be treated with respect. I've had several years of looking after and taking care dogs and cats. I've been apart of my high school's animal shelter and fostered and adopted kittens and puppies; also donated food and litter. I'm adept in reading and understanding cat and dog behavior and gestures. I'm easily able to know when the dog will need to use the restroom, is hunger and or thirsty, or wants to play. As for availability, I'm free any day of the week at any time of the day. I’ll keep you up to date on bookings via texts, photos, and videos. Cheers! Pet sitting and pet care is my primary form of income and my day-to-day schedule is very malleable, enabling me to accommodate to most booking requests! I like to keep a clean and tidy and secured space, so your home will be well cared for. You will return to your home just as you left it, if not better!

About: I have hands-on animal care experience from working as a bather at PetSmart, where I safely handled dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments, including nervous and energetic pets. I’m also an experienced pet owner and have spent years caring for dogs as well as reptiles and other exotic pets. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, medication routines, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I currently have open and flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and weekend or weekday boarding. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate different routines and scheduling needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, some company during the day, or a comfortable place to stay, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, attentive, and loving care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress free environment for every pet. With years of experience caring for my own dog, I understand the importance of patience and attentiveness. Whether it’s a walk or a drop in visit, I ensure your pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care, treating every pet like my own while giving owners peace of mind.

“Christian time and time again provides service to our 2 dogs and we couldn’t be happier with him! He is timely, responsible and considerate of the house too, constantly bringing in packages if around or filling up the dogs waters. Thanks for all you do Christian!”

About: I’ve had pets for years and have grown up with animals. Ever since I was born I was joined by a grumpy maincoon and once I turned 8 I got a siberian husky. Now, years later, I have taken care of many babies, both mine and belonging to others. Along with this I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic so I know how to deal with stressed animals who simply need patience. I am available to walk your babies or come by and feed them while you are on a much needed vacation on any day that’s not Wednesday after 2 pm. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, birds, rats, and many more I understand that animals all have different personalities and often times need an abundance of patience. I know each pet routine varies depending on their breed, needs, likes, and dislikes. I have worked with animals with medical issues so I am experienced in administering shots, giving pills, or any other medications that may be necessary for the safety and comfort of your fur baby.
“Shirel communicated clearly with me. It was a rainy evening, but she was flexible and came 30 minutes later so we could give the rain a chance to stop… Which it did. Shayna enjoyed her time with Shirel. I plan on getting her again and would highly recommend her”
“The care of my dogs is so important to me. Jin made my dogs so comfortable in her presence. She sent detailed pictures and reports of their day! I am very grateful that she was with my dogs for the weekend!!!”
About: My daughter and I love animals. My house is great for pets because there is a lot of outdoor space and indoor space for them to have a wonderful time. A typical day is a walk for about an hour and going to dog parks with the dog. The pets will be able to play fetch and other games. My service is good because the dog will stay energized and have a great time.( also goes for cats). My daughter and I have been working with animals for about 3 years and she is currently taking veterinary classes so she is more experienced and better for any emergencies that could happen. We treat all animals with love and respect. Just like humans animals have feelings too.
“Lee-Ann is a very caring person. She really cares about my baby. She asks me about his well-being. I really love and appreciate the videos and pictures she takes of him. It's been a blessing to our lives!! Thank you!”

About: 🐾 My husband Joey and I have hosted over 30 dogs in our home now. Whenever I am not home, he is or vice versa. We are able to care for your dogs as if they were our own. We do require a meet and greet to make sure your dog(s) get along with our pets. I do have my son with me part-time so it's important to make sure he is safe around child friendly dogs. He is very gentle and we do a great job at keeping distance between him and the dogs with child gates. I send multiple updates throughout the day, with respect to my time and yours. I send plenty of photos and monitor things like water intake, and bowel movements. Walks are only done during the early morning and evening hours, to avoid the heat of the day. I feed according to the instructions provided by the owners to keep up the dogs routines. I can provide lots of pets, cuddles, walks, engagement with toys, and can do misc things like comb their fur out. I have a fenced yard and my cats are indoor. We do let them go outside supervised on occasion. I own a crate just in case I ever needed one but I don't personally crate my pets. Wouldn't mind doing it if that is what's being asked of me. I would honestly just do whatever is being requested by the owners as to not break any routines or habits the dog(s) may have.
About: I have grown up taking care of my Rottweiler/Doberman since she was 10 weeks old and is now 13 years old. Big dogs are not a problem as I am not scared of them since I have grown up with one. I know how much dogs love walking and running and I love to do it with them. I have a love for all dogs big and small and enjoy even the hardest dogs to handle. With being young I can be very active with the dogs and playing with them to ensure full enjoyment. I hope to walk your dog very soon! I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to caring for your pet! Just ask and I will see how I can help! I lived in a gated community and have extra space for a dog inside. I do not have a yard for them to roam in.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life! I am currently a cat mom to a long-haired tuxie with a big personality. I have helped my family raise two high-energy Australian shepherds, given insulin shots to my diabetic cats, and walked big dogs who like to pull hard. I have cared for my own kittens and puppies from baby to senior adults. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and love spending my time with furry friends. I just graduated with my PhD and am currently job hunting, so I have lots of availability to care for your sweet pets! I am happy to stop by throughout the day, go for walks, and sit with your animals so they're not alone. My goal is to be very thorough with your pets routine. When possible, I would like to set up a meet and greet and learn where all food/treats/toys/medicine/litter/crate, etc is kept. I also will be sure to collect vet information, in case of emergency. I will make sure fences are shut or animals are properly leashed before going outside. I also want to make sure pets stay in their designated areas and follow your instructions for them. I am also used to cleaning up after pets, so that's not a problem either!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13. My friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to look after their pets. I trained my own dog (siberian husky) as a puppy. I'm committed to giving your pet all the love and care they need. I am currently working however my shifts don’t start until 3pm and end at 11pm. There is no set schedule, my shifts can change on a weekly basis but I am able to pet sit in my free time. I always find time within my day whether that means getting up early or going to sleep later. I have a fenced in yard for my dog to play in and we also have gates around the house so my dog doesn't go into rooms he shouldn't alone. I will make certain that your pet is in good hands in the comfort of their own home just like mine is!
About: I’ve had animals and taken care of animals since I was 5. We had a zoo: cats, dogs, birds, turtles and guinea pigs. I am experienced in taking care of all sorts of animals. My husband and I currently have 4 cuddly cats (Charlotte, Hannibal, Clemson, and Olive) - Clemson is missing one eye and Olive is completely blind! and a bearded dragon named Ginger! I have experience in administering medications orally and topically to cats, dogs, beardies and guinea pigs. Family, friends, and strangers have trusted me to house sit for weekends and summers. I also volunteered at SPCA for adoptable cats for 6 months. This includes feeding, cleaning and cuddling the cats! I am self employed so my schedule is very flexible. I will be able to spend quality time with your pets to ensure they are receiving the perfect care. I provide both short term and long term visits. While pet sitting, it’s important to take care of the pets basic needs (food, water, walks, potty breaks), but it’s also important to go the extra mile, figuratively and literally. My excellent services will provide you and your pets with great communication, promptness, long walks, and plenty of cuddles!
About: I genuinely care about making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m patient, attentive, and I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their energy level, temperament, and needs. What sets me apart is my focus on creating a calm, positive environment and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, including energetic puppies who need structure, supervision, and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace and extra attention. I’m dependable and responsible, and I always make sure pets are safe, well-exercised, and cared for with kindness. I also believe communication is really important, so I keep owners updated and make sure they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending time with a pet so they don’t feel lonely, I put effort into making each visit a positive experience. I’m currently working part time so I will have time to drop in to your pets and am fully free all of the weekend to have stay over visits as well!! In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions the owner provides. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time, using secure leashes, and avoiding situations that could make them uncomfortable or unsafe. Inside the home, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention so they feel calm and cared for. I also respect the client’s home and keep things tidy. I provide updates when needed so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
About: Hey, my name's Jess and I'm pumped to be on Rover! Here's a quick bit about me. I've been an animal lover forever. I've had dogs my entire life, so I have some substantial experience there and I've had cats nearly just as long. I have experience walking dogs and dog sitting in peoples' homes and my clients, so far, have always become repeat clients (which I love because I love the chance to see the furbabies again and again). I currently have a cat named Gordito, and he is my life. He’s 17 now and requires a lot of extra care, so I’m used to anything your pet may need. Also, I have a calm aura that pets seem to really appreciate. I have no doubt that your pet and I would get along fantastic. I'm not a dog or a cat person, I'm a dog AND cat person. Seriously, they're both such amazing animals in their own ways. I'm just an animal person in general. My schedule is extremely flexible as I work from home. I'm open to any breeds and have experience with young, old, low-energy, and high-energy dogs. I have the energy to keep up with whatever level your pet is at! They'll always get plenty of love, playtime, and exercise while I'm around. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.

“April was wonderful. We took a vacation and had horrible phone service. I was nervous because I wasn’t able to receive pictures and text to check in on Kobe. However, I was rest assured because we did a meet and greet with April and she was so nice and welcoming. I would recommend and Kobe will be back! Thank you!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vanessa, thank you so much for understanding and working with me to board Jace. A few hours before I was supposed to drop Jace off, he was attacked by another dog and had to be taken to the emergency vet. I was preparing to cancel my next day flight, but Vanessa was incredibly kind, flexible, and understanding during such a stressful situation. She even worked with me to allow a very late drop-off after midnight. When I picked Jace up, he was happy and had recovered so well, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly can’t thank Vanessa and her family enough for the care, compassion, and love they showed my dog. They are an amazing, animal-loving family, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their pet.”
“Ariana was incredible and I’m so glad I found her for my pup Kaia. She was overly communicative, sent tons of photos and videos and was quick to respond at all times. You can tell she loves dogs and takes pride in what she does. Kaia will absolutely be a repeat customer with her (and all her doggie friends!) thank you Ariana for making this a seamless experience and tackling my anxiety around leaving her with someone after a not so great experience previously with a different sitter, you’re the best!”
“2nd time leaving my pets with them and they always come back to me in the same condition I left them in! They’re treated well and played with and loved on while I’m away. So appreciative of that. Will continue to use them when we leave town!”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Fahriye and her husband were super amazing with our two, energetic little dogs! Our sitter originally canceled on us last minute the day before our trip and were extremely thankful they were able to watch Charlie and Gojo for us! She sent us updates while we were on our trip and the cutest photos! Doggies came home with a huge smile on their faces and took a huge, long quiet nap afterwards, which shows they definitely had a blast! Didn’t realize until I got home, but they even gifted us such a thoughtful, adorable dog waste bag holder with Charlie and Gojo’s name and face as a sticker from the photos she sent us! I was obsessed with these and switched it out the other one immediately lol. Would definitely book with them again! Thank you again guys!”
“Erika was awesome! She sent me lots of pictures and updates and I felt very comfortable leaving Eva with her! Erika has great communication and is very pleasant and friendly. Will 100% be taking Eva back for more visits!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Marie, she has an amazing yard and a super dog friendly house, and her dog Napo is just the sweetest. My dog is the nervous and reserved type, but by the second day of her stay she was zooming around the yard and actually enjoying herself. Marie sent lots of pictures and updates and responded to questions quickly, and she was flexible in figuring out a pick up time that worked with both of our schedules. My dog came home happy and exhausted. 5 stars all the way!”
“Kayla was amazing! I recently used Kayla's services for boarding my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met Kayla, I felt assured that my furry friend was in good hands. They were genuinely caring and attentive to my dog's needs. The communication was excellent throughout the stay. I received updates, including pictures and videos, which made me feel connected even while I was away. Kayla's home was safe, clean, and dog-friendly, providing a comfortable environment for my pet. Most importantly, my dog seemed happy and well-cared for when we picked him up. This peace of mind is priceless for any pet owner. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Kayla, for the wonderful care!”
“Only person I trust to watch my dog now. Hailey is great and always keeps me updated on how my pup is doing and sends a lot of pictures! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated my dogs like they were hers. I could genuinely feel the motherly love. lol. I for sure would rebook with Mya if possible. She went above and beyond and I could tell my dogs miss her.”
“Mindy and her family are amazing! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were wonderful! They are friendly, reliable, and provided excellent communication throughout our trip. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear they truly treat the dogs like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. We never had to worry while we were away because we knew our pups were in good hands. We highly recommend their services and will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“duke lovesss his staycations at Lilianas I can’t say enough good things on how she spoils to a good time and you know even your handful of a dog is in the best of care. Duke can’t get out of the car quick enough to see her when we arrive and comes home a happy tired out pup !”
“They were awesome with Herhsey!! He received so much love from the entire family & had so much 1-1 playtime & photo shoots. I received tons of photos & videos throughout his stay consistently throughout the day & I can tell he had a blast! They really have a love for dogs !!”
“Sammy love's Sierra and always has fun staying with her. Sierra updates me with cute pictures while I was away. I will be booking with her again soon. Thanks again for taking care of my baby boy.”
“Lee-Anne was so wonderful with our dog Sophie! She took great care of her and was so helpful and understanding when Sophie had a last minute health issue. She sent lots of photos and videos and it was clear Sophie was very comfortable and enjoying her time there. We will definitely book again :)”
“Christy was amazing with our dog Kimber. This is the second time we have used Christie’s services and we are very satisfied. She takes such good care of Kimber and Kimber loves to stay with Christy. 😎”
“This is the second time we've booked with Ashleigh and we are so glad we did! Ashleigh is very attentive and not only gives daily updates with pictures but also makes sure to communicate when there might be a health issue to keep an eye on! She also remembered our preferences from the previous stay as well as what our dog likes 😊 definitely recommend booking a stay here for your fur baby!”
