“First time I have ever left my pup with someone , and he absolutely loved her from the beginning!! Definitely will be using again and again ♥️ He was so excited at pick up but also wanted to love on summer , highly recommend.”
“Christian was absolutely great with Deebo. Very attentive and kept me informed. We received great pup pics. Great location and will definitely recommend him to board your fur baby.”
“Angelica was wonderful. She took exceptional care of my pet. I felt so comfortable leaving Punkin with her. She treated her like she was part of her family!! Thank you so much. I will definitely trust you with my pet for any future vacations.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“EXCELLENT LOVING CARE!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My 17 year old, special needs, completely blind, silky mix dog, Paisley, who also has dementia, stayed with Ms Annette for 8 days while we were on vacation. We were able to bring Paisley to meet Ms Annette prior to boarding her. Things could not have gone better. Ms. Annette was patient, kind, caring, and gave Paisley time to come to her and be comfortable. Her home was spotless as was the separate grooming / boarding area. Dogs have use of / access to both the boarding and home areas, as well as a spacious, outdoor, shady, grassy backyard area to play. Ms Annette even allows dogs on her couch. Because of her age and special needs status, it became impossible to leave Paisley at a typical kennel as they were unable to provide the specialized care and attention she needed. Ms. Annette was able to provide the specialized care needed, provided a lot of love and belly rubs, and even taught Paisley to use her doggy door!! She kept Paisley under her usual home routine which resulted in a smooth transition home. When going to pick her up, Ms Annette greeted me with Paisley in her arms. Paisley was clean, as were her doggy blanket and bed. During her stay, Ms Annette sent daily updates, photos, and videos, confirming Paisley was adjusting well, had made new friends. Ms Annette is 100% recommended. Great care! Lots of love!! Communicative! Board your pet worry free knowing they’ll be very well cared for with Ms. Annette!”
“Brittanie took wonderful care of our golden retriever. She and her family was a great fit for our fur baby, since they had a golden of their own. We enjoyed the daily updates that she provided us during our time away from Claire. Look forward to booking with her again.”
“I have used Angie's services for the third time in a row and she is a wonderful person and I couldn't have found anyone better in my area to take care of the love of my life Mimi. Thanks Angie”

“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”

“Megan is wonderful! Definitely we will see her again soon! She gave me updates and pictures of my baby’s! We find the right place for when we go on vacation our dogs have vacations too! Thanks Megan!”
“Matt and Nicole did an amazing job with our German Shepherd mix! They sent pics and kept us updated while we were away. They worked with us to modify the booking when plans changed on our end. Would absolutely use them again and plan to on our next trip!”
“Alberto was a good fit for my Princess. He understood she suffers from separation anxiety and he gave her extra attention. Will book him again if I need to go away for the weekend.”
“When you have a dog sitter that loves yours doggo as much as you do, the worry of being away instantly departs and you enjoy the spontaneous trip. Heather, thank you again for being Oscar’s home away from home ❤️”
“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”
“Megan was awesome. There was plenty coordination on the front-end to do an intro to make sure the visit would be successful. We got regular updates about our pup even over the holidays and some great pictures to share with our family. And she and her family will definitely be a keeper for future visits. Absolutely recommend!”

“It was my first time using Rover, and I was so nervous that my six cats would be too much to handle, especially with one being difficult to medicate. Lauren made the experience wonderful and completely put my anxiety at ease! She is kind, caring, and most importantly, incredibly patient. If you are looking for a pet sitter you can totally trust and rely on, Lauren has got you! Thank you, Lauren we look forward to booking you again, and our kitties loved their time with you!”
“My boys were well taken care of and I got some cute photos on my trip for peace of mind. Her response time was excellent and I didn’t have a second of worry about my boys. I was able to enjoy my vacation with the knowledge my kitties were shown love and care the whole time. Will definitely book again.”
About: When I was 12 a stray Tom adopted us. My mother and I would bandage him after his escapades. I have since then taken care of feral cats and helped get them spayed and neutered. I have also dropped in on the cats of my friends when they go out of town to give some human stimulation and make sure they have food and water.
“Yan did an amazing job as a pet sitter for my cat. She picked up the key prior, met my cat, and was a wonderful sitter - feeding him, playing with him, and cleaning his litter. The process was smooth & easy. I will definitely be using her again for my future pet sitting needs. Thank you!!!!”
“Vanessa was amazing! We were in an extremely rough position and I had to find a place for Figgy in the middle of the night, and she was able to take him the next day. She gave me frequent updates with adorable pictures of my baby and eased my mind throughout this situation. She was even able to keep him for longer when the situation did not resolve itself. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! My mom had a rescue and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent time volunteering at dog shelters, which has helped me understand and connect even more deeply with our furry best friends. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves playtime, or prefers snuggles and a calm walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs! I’m reliable, gentle, and truly passionate about what I do. I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 💗😊 I’m home all day, everyday since I study from home. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, and it fits perfectly into my routine. I have two super friendly Shih Tzus. They love meeting new furry friends and are great at keeping other dogs company! But if your pup prefers their own space, no worries I can easily keep them separated to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s requested by the owner. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, trips to the park, or just some relaxing cuddle time. My home is full of love, and your pup will be treated like part of the family!
About: Pet sitting since I was 13 years old has given me extensive experience for pets of all ages, personalities and sizes ensuring they feel loved, safe and taken well cared of. I am reliable, patient and skilled at administering common needs and following any specific pet routines. I have genuine love for all animals and will treat any pet with care as if they were my own. I currently work part time on the weekends and taking online courses which leaves me plenty of time for play time and walks! I manage my time well and am available any day of the week mornings and most evenings! With a gated community and dog park seconds away I can ensure your fur baby’s safety during outside time, I have 3 super friendly cats and a small chihuahua of my own who loves meeting new dogs and someone to play with!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.
“Micah was excellent with communication and attention to our dogs, one of which is a 100 lb puppy! She certainly made our time away easier with much less separation anxiety than ever before! We will definitely book with her for future trips without our furry children!”
About: I’ve had hamsters, dogs, cats. They were mainly family pets but I also taken care of pets on another website. I’m excited to learn about your pet and gain more experience! I’ve also volunteered for spca and love all kinds of pets. I am also a mother of an 8 month old and pets should be no different. I have taken care of snakes, turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and birds! I work as well as pet sitting so we can discuss if my schedule is good for you. I’m available even for last minute bookings as long as I have an opening. I have a fenced back yard and a large crate. Dogs bowls and lick pads for your animals! Fresh water and food is always available.
About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 4 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior and am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a dog training/boarding facility so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds :) I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at a boarding facility. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If your animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Three people in total live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!

“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”
“Megan was awesome. There was plenty coordination on the front-end to do an intro to make sure the visit would be successful. We got regular updates about our pup even over the holidays and some great pictures to share with our family. And she and her family will definitely be a keeper for future visits. Absolutely recommend!”
