“Kelsie and Grant took great care of our dog (Duke)! This was the first time we left Duke with someone for an extended period of time, so we were a little nervous… But we’re so glad we chose them! She and Grant have a huge fenced in yard where Duke had a blast playing with his frisbee and running around. Kelsie promptly sent photos of Duke each day, as he was having fun playing in the yard, and she quickly responded to any questions we had. Super prompt and reliable!!! Thanks for taking such good care of Duke… We will definitely choose Kelsie again in the future to take care of him. We highly recommend Kelsie (and Grant)!!!”

“Fabiana is amazing. She accommodated me last minute, has a lovely, tidy home, and sent me updates throughout the day. Lucy was very happy here, will be booking with her again.”

“My two dogs love staying with Thomas and Lyndsay.they have stayed with them on two separate occasions and They treat them like their own and are very accommodating. We will definitely use them again in the future! Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs.”


“We had a great experience with them this weekend. They were responsive, easy to coordinate with, and kept me updated with messages/photos. Most importantly, my dog seemed comfortable and happy in their care. Highly recommend, we’ll be repeat clients.”
“John was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages. My dog was happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind. We’ll definitely be using his services again :) Highly recommend!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with this sitter. We had to make last-minute arrangements for our senior dog, Lola, while we were vacationing in Sanibel after discovering that our condo no longer allowed pets. Lola is highly anxious, and leaving her is always stressful for us, so finding someone we could trust was incredibly important. From the very beginning, communication was exceptional. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Lola was in great hands. Not only did she take excellent care of Lola, but she also graciously allowed us to visit and take Lola for walks during the week. She made sure Lola got plenty of exercise, socialization with other dogs, and lots of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for her. The biggest testament to the care she provided came on the last day. As we drove away, Lola actually watched her new friend leave and whined for her—a reaction we've never seen before. That told us everything we needed to know about the bond they had formed. If we ever return to Sanibel, she will be our first call. Every Rover sitter should strive to provide this level of care, communication, and compassion. We are beyond grateful for how wonderfully she treated our Lola. Thank you!!!”

“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”

“If you’re looking for the best place to leave your pup, look no further, Diana is the one! I had to go on a last-minute trip, and not only did she come to the rescue, but she also took care of Rocky with so much love and dedication that I felt completely at ease. She kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time, and it was clear that Rocky was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s rare to find someone so caring and committed to animals. I’ll definitely leave him with her again. Thank you for everything, Diana!”

“Destony watched our boy Ace twice now! She is so skilled and highly knowledgeable! She was able to watch Ace the second time within a minutes notice while I had to go deliver my baby early due to severe preeclampsia. She not only took care of him on short notice, but also took extra time to bathe him and clip his nails, exercise him and everything. He came back a happy handsome boy! She sent photos and communicated everyday! Really couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our Ace!”

“My 2 dogs love to stay with Omayra! They get to socialize with her cats and get lots of attention from her kids. They are so much happier staying with her as compared to boarding at the vet.”

“We vacationed in the area and wanted our pup to be nearby. Ashlee responded to messages quickly and provided photos and videos, letting us know he was doing well. Drop-off and pick-up were quick and easy, and all we needed to provide was his food. Everything he may want or need was already on hand in Ashlee's home. It felt good to know that Winston was very much a part of the family, napping on the couch with his new pup friend and even sleeping in bed with Ashlee. We missed him so very much and are so thankful Ashlee provided him a home away from home.”

“Elle was very responsive, send a lot of photos letting us know that Ollie was okay during his stay. Even though, the first day we dropped him off, there was a bit of miscommunication, overall we felt Ollie was in good hands and definitely we would contact Elle again if we need someone to watch him again.”

“Emily and Aaron are fantastic people! They really did treat my baby as if he was their own. The pictures I got everyday was just the cutest and you could see how truly happy he was. Their son is so adorable and so gentle with the dogs, he enjoyed playing with Sparky I would definitely recommend this family for dog boarding, I know we will absolutely use them again. Thanks again for loving my little fur baby!!!!”

“She was great. It was a short notice as our other option feel through and by the looks of it Kylo had a blast… thank you so much…. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Xiao was a great sitter. We needed a last minute boarding and she answered fast and was ready for drop off ASAP. She sent pictures and videos the whole time and our dog had a great visit. You can tell she is a big animal lover! We will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”

“Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.”

About: I am capable of handling dogs of many different sizes and ages. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in property where dogs can either run around freely or be kept on a least. At my home your pet receives near round-the-clock supervision since I am a stay at home parent My schedule is dedicated to pets nearly 100% of the time since I am a stay at home mother. I have three dogs of my own of varying sizes and ages, all with different needs that I maintain as part of my daily routine. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard so your dog can run free (though I am happy to keep him on a leash if you are more comfortable). Dogs in my home are generally allowed to climb on furniture or sleep in the bed, but I also have crates available for dogs that may prefer to sleep in one. I have baby gates throughout my home to separate dogs as needed (for example a gate between carpeted and hard floors for dogs who might have potty problems)

“If you’re looking for an incredibly detail oriented, pet obsessed, dependable sitter - you can stop here, Nicoleia your girl. She did everything I asked to take care of my super senior cat, Simba, and wrote super detailed follow ups with tons of photos every single day. She even went above and beyond and noticed it was trash day and took my bins out without me asking. I’m super grateful to have found her - my cat gets upset every time I leave and usually lets me know by making all sorts of messes - Nicole is the first pet sitter I’ve had that he’s immediately loved so much that I don’t even have to worry about that. An actual pet whisperer, I finally have found someone that makes me not have to worry about my babies while I’m gone 🥹”


About: I've had experience with cats my whole life, taking care of my grandma's cat and having 4 myself. I take a gentle approach with cats as I know they can be unpredictable. I can clean litter boxes, feed, administer oral medication, and bathe cats!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!
“I'll say Michelle was amazing. She looked after my five fur babies so well. Michelle updated us daily with pictures of how my cats were doing while I was away. From the updates she sent us, you could tell that she cared and loved them, and I tell you, my five little ones are not always easy. If I could rate 10 out of 5 stars, I would. We will book with Michelle again. Thank you, Michelle.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I have cared for lizards, fed tortoises, maintained freshwater aquariums, and cared for fish. I especially enjoy creating healthy, natural aquarium environments. Give me instructions, and they’ll be followed. I also have experience caring for chickens. With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚
“I was concerned about leaving the Aussie Posse with a stranger since they are absolutely not used to being around unfamiliar people and the standard size Aussie has designated himself as the house protector. To my delight Olivia handled the situation perfectly. She greeted him calmly and then basically ignored him until he and the others calmed down. The second day went better. And by day 3 they were practically old friends. One of my other dogs is shy and didn't want to eat. She changed his feeding location in order to give him space, and pretty much ignored him for a couple days. By the end of her time with us he was finishing his meal and even playing ball with her in the yard. We are extremely happy with the service she provided, would definitely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to others in need of pet sitting services. She's the BEST!!”

“Velvet is amazing. She took great care of our fur babies and that’s not easy, they are quite spoiled:) So respectful of our home and kept our plants well taken care of. Can’t wait to have her in our home again!!! She’s a keeper for sure! Definitely Recommend!!!!”


About: I know cats have their own rules. Some want attention, some want space, and my job is to read which one it is. I’ve cared for cats through friends and family, so I’m comfortable with everything from a lap cat to a shy one who needs time to warm up. Since I don’t have pets of my own, your cat gets my undivided attention with zero competition!
About: I've been around animals my entire life, my first dog i was 2. I personally have had 5 cats, 4 dogs, 2 sugar gliders, 1 leopard gecko, 1 Cockateil, Several Fish. I have also taken care of family members and friends animals from Reptiles and exotics to a 3 year old Great Dane and a beautiful berkshire pig. I feel as though every animal deserves love and attention no animal is too small or too big for me. I have been Feeding, Walking, Bathing and even transporting animals for 20 years I am available every day depending on the time, I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule to the best of my ability If you give me a specific set of instructions I will gladly follow it to a T. My sweet Japenese Chin is on a special diet so I am use to cooking food and even sorting out wet or dry food. I have experience with leash control and watching closely in a fenced in yard. Again I'll be very glad to follow your instructions as your babies I will treat my like own.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. When I was 13, I rescued a stray tortoiseshell kitten named Marble, and caring for her sparked my passion for cats. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience looking after multiple cats, including pet sitting regularly for my sister-in-law’s five cats. My responsibilities included feeding, playtime, administering daily medication to one cat, and ensuring both indoor and outdoor cats were well cared for and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and dedicated to providing pets with attentive and loving care while their owners are away.
“Really nice! She accepted the request when it was a very short notice. She sent pictures of our cat when we would want to check up on him, and we didn’t have to worry about our cat while we took care of some family business in another city.”

“Jennifer and her family were so welcoming of our sweet girl. We have never boarded before and were very concerned & skeptical of just dropping her off with someone we didn’t know. Jennifer made this process very easy for us and responded to text/calls promptly. She was well taken care of and we were certainly pleased. Gypsy will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much Jennifer!!!”

About: I grew up taking care of, owning, and helping raise all kinds of different dogs. Great Danes, puggles, pit bulls, and small dogs like terriers and shitzu’s. I have always been the one friends and family have called to look after their pets while they’re gone. I love them like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable when their parents aren’t around! I have had the blessing of being able to work from home Monday, Wednesdays, Thursday’s, and Fridays with weekends off. The only day i am unavailable during the week is Tuesdays! I want to fill my free time with something I love! I have a very large fenced in yard and we do have one dog of our own who is extremely friendly to keep your fur baby company but if you’d feel more comfortable keeping them separate I am easily able to do that as well as he has a dog bed in my daughters room that he loves being in.

Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and current pet parent to a 9-year-old black Labrador retriever and a 2-year-old cat, both incredibly friendly and well-socialized with other animals. Since I work remotely and am home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. Having a senior dog myself means I understand the extra care, patience, and routine that older pets often need, while my cat keeps me well-practiced with feline personalities too. Your pet will have their own private room in my townhouse, so they’ll have a comfortable, quiet space to settle into if they need a break from the action.

I’m close to two dog parks for extra exercise and socialization, and I’m happy to walk dogs every 3 hours if needed to keep them comfortable and on schedule.

I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to include pet care in my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I also give them plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and keep their space clean and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child! Birds, fish, reptiles, cats and dogs you name it! I currently have 5 spoiled fur babies of my own, two cats 🐈⬛ and three dogs 🐕 I am a responsible female pet sitter, ready to sit your pet next! 😊 I adore all animals, and shape or size! I promise to ensure a safe loving environment with endless belly rubs and snuggles for your fur babies while you are away! 😋 No task is impossible, I would be willing to do anything and everything I could to ensure that your fur babies are taken care of! 😊 I WFH at the moment so i have nothing but free time that I would love to do something with, I love all animals so this is the perfect thing for me! All dogs will be walked on leashes, leash is to never be removed until said pet is secured in my home or in clients home.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I have cared for lizards, fed tortoises, maintained freshwater aquariums, and cared for fish. I especially enjoy creating healthy, natural aquarium environments. Give me instructions, and they’ll be followed. I also have experience caring for chickens. With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚
“Allie was an amazing dog walker and very kind to my senior friend who I was getting dog walking for. She looked out for him and told me when he needed more support! I can’t even begin to say how grateful I was that I chose her out of the three people available at that time. It wasn’t just that she gave five star service, she gave service from the bottom of her heart! The dog who is a little uncomfortable with strangers, felt right at home with her, and she was even able to take her to the groomers and take care of all her needs.”
“Sereniti was an absolute gem when it came to getting to know my dog, and did an amazing job at making sure she was okay. My dog absolutely loved her and got excited to see her every time. I absolutely recommend Sereniti, she’ll treat your baby like her own.”

About: I grew up taking care of, owning, and helping raise all kinds of different dogs. Great Danes, puggles, pit bulls, and small dogs like terriers and shitzu’s. I have always been the one friends and family have called to look after their pets while they’re gone. I love them like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable when their parents aren’t around! I have had the blessing of being able to work from home Monday, Wednesdays, Thursday’s, and Fridays with weekends off. The only day i am unavailable during the week is Tuesdays! I want to fill my free time with something I love! I have a very large fenced in yard and we do have one dog of our own who is extremely friendly to keep your fur baby company but if you’d feel more comfortable keeping them separate I am easily able to do that as well as he has a dog bed in my daughters room that he loves being in.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, currently have an old pup and excited to meet your fur friends and help take care of your dog(s)! The world is just a better place with dogs and I’ve always felt that way. I’d be happy to help show your pets attention and support where it is needed, as I’ve always had a dog and been the “go to” person to watch a friend or families pet while they’re away. I’m a full time working, single mother with some flexibility in my schedule daily. I own a home with a fenced in yard and have two kids who love pets just as much as me. We also have an 8 year old yellow lab at home, Kate. I enjoy walks and runs so happy to add that into my day and help. I have a fenced in yard and a yellow lab who is friendly with other pets and happy to have a friend over. My children and I absolute enjoy having fur friends over, and helping take care of them.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, my first dog i was 2. I personally have had 5 cats, 4 dogs, 2 sugar gliders, 1 leopard gecko, 1 Cockateil, Several Fish. I have also taken care of family members and friends animals from Reptiles and exotics to a 3 year old Great Dane and a beautiful berkshire pig.

I have been Feeding, Walking, Bathing and even transporting animals for 20 years I am available every day depending on the time, I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule to the best of my ability If you give me a specific set of instructions I will gladly follow it to a T. My sweet Japenese Chin is on a special diet so I am use to cooking food and even sorting out wet or dry food. I have experience with leash control and watching closely in a fenced in yard. Again I'll be very glad to follow your instructions as your babies I will treat my like own.
About: I grew up with dogs at home so caring for them feels second nature. I’ve learned to read their moods, know when they need a walk versus a nap, and to keep a calm but enjoyable presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level, from chill seniors to super energetic puppies. I treat every pet like my own. ❤️ I work as a server, so my schedule shifts week to week rather than following a set routine. But that actually works in my favor for pet care. My days off are usually Wednesday and Thursday, and outside of shifts I have plenty of flexible time to check in, walk, and play. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means your dog/cat gets my full attention with no other animals competing for it. I have a fenced yard, so there’s a safe space for off-leash play and bathroom breaks without worrying about them wandering off. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I truly love animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including puppies. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays depending on your needs. I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where every pet is treated like family. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I love dogs! I’m guilty of rescuing a dog while on vacation. I own a 5 year old doggie which I have cared for since he was 8 weeks. I’m the official doggie sister in the family. My family and friends describe me as an over protective doggy mom. Bilingual: English and Spanish I am a stay at home wife with no kids. I will always make sure that your furbabies are safe and well taken care of. I will treat you, your home, and your pet with the utmost respect. The safety of your pet is my top priority. For that reason, I will always walk the dog with a leash.

“Kelsie and Grant took great care of our dog (Duke)! This was the first time we left Duke with someone for an extended period of time, so we were a little nervous… But we’re so glad we chose them! She and Grant have a huge fenced in yard where Duke had a blast playing with his frisbee and running around. Kelsie promptly sent photos of Duke each day, as he was having fun playing in the yard, and she quickly responded to any questions we had. Super prompt and reliable!!! Thanks for taking such good care of Duke… We will definitely choose Kelsie again in the future to take care of him. We highly recommend Kelsie (and Grant)!!!”

“My two dogs love staying with Thomas and Lyndsay.they have stayed with them on two separate occasions and They treat them like their own and are very accommodating. We will definitely use them again in the future! Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs.”


“We had a great experience with them this weekend. They were responsive, easy to coordinate with, and kept me updated with messages/photos. Most importantly, my dog seemed comfortable and happy in their care. Highly recommend, we’ll be repeat clients.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with this sitter. We had to make last-minute arrangements for our senior dog, Lola, while we were vacationing in Sanibel after discovering that our condo no longer allowed pets. Lola is highly anxious, and leaving her is always stressful for us, so finding someone we could trust was incredibly important. From the very beginning, communication was exceptional. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Lola was in great hands. Not only did she take excellent care of Lola, but she also graciously allowed us to visit and take Lola for walks during the week. She made sure Lola got plenty of exercise, socialization with other dogs, and lots of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for her. The biggest testament to the care she provided came on the last day. As we drove away, Lola actually watched her new friend leave and whined for her—a reaction we've never seen before. That told us everything we needed to know about the bond they had formed. If we ever return to Sanibel, she will be our first call. Every Rover sitter should strive to provide this level of care, communication, and compassion. We are beyond grateful for how wonderfully she treated our Lola. Thank you!!!”

“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”

“If you’re looking for the best place to leave your pup, look no further, Diana is the one! I had to go on a last-minute trip, and not only did she come to the rescue, but she also took care of Rocky with so much love and dedication that I felt completely at ease. She kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time, and it was clear that Rocky was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s rare to find someone so caring and committed to animals. I’ll definitely leave him with her again. Thank you for everything, Diana!”

“Destony watched our boy Ace twice now! She is so skilled and highly knowledgeable! She was able to watch Ace the second time within a minutes notice while I had to go deliver my baby early due to severe preeclampsia. She not only took care of him on short notice, but also took extra time to bathe him and clip his nails, exercise him and everything. He came back a happy handsome boy! She sent photos and communicated everyday! Really couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our Ace!”

“My 2 dogs love to stay with Omayra! They get to socialize with her cats and get lots of attention from her kids. They are so much happier staying with her as compared to boarding at the vet.”

“Elle was very responsive, send a lot of photos letting us know that Ollie was okay during his stay. Even though, the first day we dropped him off, there was a bit of miscommunication, overall we felt Ollie was in good hands and definitely we would contact Elle again if we need someone to watch him again.”

“She was great. It was a short notice as our other option feel through and by the looks of it Kylo had a blast… thank you so much…. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Xiao was a great sitter. We needed a last minute boarding and she answered fast and was ready for drop off ASAP. She sent pictures and videos the whole time and our dog had a great visit. You can tell she is a big animal lover! We will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”

“Absolutely amazing Rover sitter. Went way above and beyond to accommodate our situation. Highly recommended if you need a trustworthy family to keep your loved ones!!!”

“Tia was great! She watched our 3 dogs (Husky mix, Lab mix, and Dachshund) while we were gone on vacation over a week. I received updates and photos during their stay letting me know my dogs were doing good. Tia having a fenced in backyard was a huge plus for me since my dogs are potty trained, I refuse to have my dogs in a kennel all day. If you want your pets to feel at home while you are away then reach out to Tia for sure, thanks Tia!”

“Alain was an extraordinary caregiver to our dog. He sent videos every day, showed her extra care and attention, and he made us feel very at ease during our time away. I highly recommend him!”

“Claudia was great!! She sent lots of pics and made Roscoe so comfortable! I tried to board him before I found her and he was too nervous ? I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to anyone who needs a dig sitter ?”
