“Excellent! Terrific communication, two very friendly dogs and a dog-savvy cat and a lovely dog-friendly home and yard. They welcomed our senior dog and made sure she was comfortable, enjoyed walks and was allowed to find her own cozy space. Just the nice people & place we hoped to find.”
“Eboni did so good with our dog! She was super flexible with drop offs and pick up times. And just very accommodating for this to be such a last minute stay. Rando seemed to have such a great time! I would highly recommend Eboni!!”

“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
About: I am a former manager at a daycare and boarding facility, I have administered diabetes shots and other medications for animals. I plan to own my own daycare boarding facility in the future. Helping others and working with animals has always been my passion, I initially went to college for veterinary but decided that it wasn’t for me that a Daycare facility was best suited for me and my personality. I currently am a manager at a restaurant I can walk pets before 5:30 am but it didn’t give the option and anytime after 4 pm. I have three friendly dogs who are very socialized they go to doggy daycare and one elderly cat who is 16 and our yard is fenced in and I live down the street from a dog park as well!
“We booked with Paige at the last minute and it was the best decision we made. Her and her family where very welcoming with getting to know Storm. When we picked her up, we could tell that she was treated like their own. I got pictures of the snuggles which warmed my daughter's heart knowing that her baby was in great hands. We will be booking again when we need care for Storm again.”
“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”
“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”
“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“Lisa cares for your baby like her own. Great home with lots of snuggles and care. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving home for their pet while they are away.”
“Wendy was wonderful. She sent the cutest photos of my baby daily! She came home tired and happy. It's clear she got lots of exercise and lots of love. Will be using Wendy's services in the future! :)”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
“Will and his wife stepped up last minute to board my dog Scooter and they did an excellent job, my wife and I are so thankful! Will was willing to meet prior to the boarding to ensure our dogs got along well and discuss the details, and then sent daily photos and updates to let my wife and I know he was doing well while at their house. Finally, he was willing to drop our dog off at our apartment at the end of the weekend to make things easy. Definitely recommend!”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”

April exceeded all expectations and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind to care for their fur babies while away.”
About: I’m a cat lover who has had cats all their life! I have experience taking care of cats for friends and family, but no professional experience yet. My prices reflect this until I get more experience on Rover. ⭐️ I have experience taking care of kitties who need medication and are on special diets. ✨ I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to a 1 yo giving me flexibility to come care for and spoil your kitty! 🌟 You can count on me to play with your kitty, give cuddles, fresh water/food, daily litter box cleaning, and any other specified needs!
“Lauren takes exceptional care of our cats. She shares photos and contacts us as needed if there are concerns. We always feel confident trusting Lauren with our pets and our home.”
About: Ten years ago, at 10, I was a cat-whisperer. Raised with cats, I fed and comforted them, and they comforted me back. I even cared for neighbors' cats, a true caregiver for them since I was little. I love to take care of animals! It’s my passion. I will be honored to be your babysitter for your little children! 🐱
About: My childhood cat developed several health issues in her senior years (Kidney Disease, Arthritis, UTIs), and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats often need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable interacting with both outgoing and more reserved feline personalities. I understand every cat has their comfort level, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe.
“Stephanie was great. She is very good at following all our instructions for our new kitten and I think the two of them are becoming fast friends. We will definitely ask her again.”
“Donald was an excellent care provider for my dog. He was always on time always sent great pictures. Handled my dogs health issues with ease and confidence. My dog even started to like him”
About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.
“Christina was on time for each visit, followed the care instructions, stayed in communication with us and took great care of our 3 dogs. We have already booked her again! Thank you!”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." That's the quote from the website, but it's literally perfect. If you add in insects, reptiles, and some livestock it's right on. It can be worked in seemlessly. I own my own businesses so I create my own hours. Monday is the only day I'm completely unavailable, as it is a travel day. Regardless of location, I provide interactive care for your pet. I love animals, so I don't mind treating them like the beloved members of your family they are. They'll be welcome and attended to in my home, or taken care of like normal in their own.
“Vera was great with our kitties and they really seemed to like her. She took the time with them to cuddle and was very attentive to her surroundings which saved us a disaster with a screen.”
About: I have been in the pet care business for a good 4 years. I have pet cpr training. I have worked with all types of dogs. I’m am currently staying at home with my 3 animals. I would love the opportunity to help your fur babies. I am very flexible with scheduling. I have a 2 year old husky mix that loves to play with new friends. He also has two kitty siblings that are dog and cat friendly. We also have a fenced in backyard along with a cat room.
About: I have been an animal advocate since I was a little girl. I'm a firm believer that all creatures experience the same emotions that you and I do. Including fear and confusion. I've fostered an array of animals for over 27years. Always driven to offer comfort. I have experience with cats, dogs (large and small), birds, chickens, snakes, iguanas, birds, fish, ferrets, skunks (yes, skunks), rats, rabbits and even arachnids. I'm experienced with administering medications. And with animals that require patience and special care, whether because of medical conditions or lack of trust in humans from their past experiences. I started pet sitting regularly in 2019. I want to offer as much love, comfort and security as I can in your absence. For the comfort of your fur baby, I prefer to pet sit in your, their home but do pet sit in my own home as well. I have a soft spot for large breed dogs but truly love all animals and am available to care for other pets, like birds, fish, exotics, etc. Extended Stays longer than 7 days can be discussed. I have a full time job which allows well behaved dogs in the office. If your pup stays with me during the week, they will likely join me in the office. All animals in my care will be treated with love and respect. I have experience with scared and feral animals and take my time gaining their trust, which usually doesn't take long. Feedings will depend on the schedule their used to and the instructions you leave me. My goal is to help you keep their routines while you are away. I love being outside, walks, play and fresh air will be plentiful for your pup. Cat boxes get scooped once day, or more if that is what your cat is used to. If they are harness trained, I'm happy to give them time outside, too. I am also a certified Reiki Master working on my Pet Reiki Certification. The needs of the animals would determine how my daily routine goes. Pups go outside first thing in the morning, followed by breakfast. Depending on what the day is would determine how the day is spent - might be a visit to my work, or a day in sunshine. My goal is to disrupt their regular routines as little as possible while you are away. I feel like this is the best way to minimize their stress. For this reason, I prefer to stay at the home of pets but do pet sit cat-friendly pups in my home as well. I do not have a fenced yard so all pups would need to come with a leash. I live on a fairly quiet street where we can go on pleasant walks.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lessie
About: I have owned and watched a variety of animals. I have watched dogs in the past for my neighbors and family. I will let them run around outside and throw the ball with them. I also let them roam around the house most of the day. I will also take my pets on a walk as long as the weather is decent! I do not want them to overheat or get really wet because of rain. I do work full time but I have flexibility with my schedule and am able to be home a lot. My work days is normally around 6 hours. I use to work as a vet tech so I am well versed with how to handle animals and ensure they are properly taken care of. I have a fenced yard and I let them run around for a few minutes if I don’t go outside with them. I don’t usually leave my pets outside longer than 10 or 15 mins without being outside. The yard is big enough for them to run around and tire themselves. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood that I will take them to if no one is in the park. It is very spacious and allows for them to get a lot of energy out!
“Oli had a fantastic day with Eboni while I explored Cumberland Island. She and her kiddos clearly gave Oli so much love and attention! If I ever travel in the area again, I would 10/10 book!!”
“Taylor did great with our pup! She sent lots of photos and was great with communication. She always responded quickly and kept me up to date. I definitely recommend Taylor! Thanks!!”

I have a pretty open schedule at the moment, and I love all animals, so I am available almost 24/7 for your pet care needs! I treat all animals with care, kindness and as if they were my own.

“Tracy and her husband were absolutely amazing. This was our first time using river and I could be happier. My initial message was responded to within minutes, she sent photo and video updates throughout the day, and was great at initiating the initial interaction between our pups and hers. One of my dogs is pretty timid around new people and by the end of the day, she was so comfortable with Tracy! We are so thankful they were available for this last minute booking and will be returning if we are ever in need of a sitter in the area again.”
“Lisa took great care of our girl while we visited Cumberland Island. She was flexible with arrival and pick up times and sent us several photos of their day together. She catered the care to our dog's needs and Mina was relaxed and tired at the end of the day. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we found Jennifer. She took great care of FreeLoader and Mooch. From the pictures and updates Jennifer provided, I could see how happy, comfortable and ‘at home’ my pups felt!”
“Let me just say first and foremost that my experience with Cara has been absolutely more better than I could have asked for. My puppy was coming and I needed someone to immediately watch him during the work week and she took him in and and loved him just as I would. We continue to have her watch Magnus and he loves playing with her, the kids and her two puppies. She is extremely attentive to his needs and always sends pictures of him throughout the day. It’s very helpful to know my baby is in the hands of someone who really cares for the dogs as if they were her own. I couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind than with her. I’m so happy to have her as my dog sitter.”
“Thank you Zoi so much for taking such great care of Charlie, it's was so wonderful not having to worry about him while working. We definitely bring Charlie back to you the next time in the area. Melinda”
About: We have a two cats and three kids who love all animals. We get all our doggy love now from pet sitting and our cats always love new friends. My husband and I both work full-time, but our schedules vary slightly, so pets are typically home alone for no more than about 7 hours during the day. I also have 1–2 weekdays off each week and am home on weekends, allowing for plenty of quality time, play, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and full of love. We teach our children to interact with animals gently and respectfully, and all interactions are supervised. I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of our own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Larry was amazing. It’s easy to tell that he loves dogs and has a kind way of describing dogs who naught be a little “unique “. Our dogs really enjoyed time with him and came home exhausted, just like after a great vacation. Grateful to have found him.”
“Thomas & Cara are friendly and received Marly with open arms, She did well with their dog and she was pleasant according to Cara. Photos included for a short visit today. I will not have hesitate rebooking with this couple in the future.”
“Atlas had so much fun with Nhi! She was flexible and communicated with me every step of the way! She also got some amazing pictures of my Atlas! If I’m ever in Jacksonville in the future, I’m sure Atlas would love to hangout with her again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Lessie
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I can train puppies and take care of senior dogs. I have experience with it all. My father used to raise and train puppies since I was 10, so that’s where I get the magic spark from. I am so passionate to take care of, and to love on animals. I have three dogs of my own that we have raised since they were little. I work part-time, and have flexible hours, so I am available for your pups whenever you need a babysitter! Day or night, I can help! When I take care of these pups, I like to chat with the owner about their expectations for the house, and for their pup. Follow instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime. If accidents happen, clean them up as soon as possible. Stay out of rooms or areas the owner has marked as off-limits. Keep your belongings tidy and out of the way. Keep the volume down. I like to keep owners updated with text and pictures. I also like to do a quick tidy-up before the owner gets back to their sweet pup 🐶!
“My first impression of Carrie was very positive- she frequently communicated, was personable and punctual. Carrie immediately bonded with my dog, and took extra time with her to make sure she was well exercised. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old and constantly go and watch my sisters dogs once every two months I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and most weekends. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, provide constant supervision, and maintain a clean, calm environment. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!
About: I've hand rereared kittens and puppies from 3 days old to house broken. I have had reptiles and all kinds of fuzzy animals, I haven't met anything I didn't love immediately. I can give medicine and keep routines while providing plenty of updates! I am a stay at home mom so I love getting a chance to step away and love on another kind of baby! I grew up raising animals, I love too many kinds to make up my mind, so let me love yours while you're away! I treat them like my own, I follow instructions and go based off of the animal. I run a sensory friendly home so I have lots of relaxing quiet corners!
About: I provide dependable, personalized care by treating every dog like family. I prioritize safety, consistent communication, patience, and keeping each pet comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently don’t have a job as I am preparing to go into college. So most the times I am home, when I am away from home it isn’t long. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and treat them like they’re part of my own family.

“Kalie was such a lifesaver. I needed a pet sitter very last minute and Kalie was able to help me out! She came over to take my dog Peanut on walks and made sure he was well fed and comfortable while I was out of town. This was my first time ever hiring a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but Kalie eased my mind and took such great care of my dog. She had great communication, was on time, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I can remember I had cats and dogs growing up and have cared for many in my adult years as well. I look forward to sharing my scratches, cuddles and love with your beloved family member. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 15-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl. I have open availability and also offer last minute services. I will treat your fur baby as my own! I have experience in most all care involved in taking care of an animal from babies to seniors. If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out and I will be glad to answer them for you.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and caretaker of animals, I love the opportunity to meet new furry friends! I have worked with my family to train all of our dogs and cats while having them be a part of the family! I’m currently working full time but spend plenty of time with my fur baby to make sure she’s taken care of and happy. I ensure that your fur baby is treated like my own and every animal I come into contact with is taken care of to the highest degree!
About: I have cared for & had pets my entire life. Mostly dogs, some cats & other animals as well. NO snakes please. I am very tedious, detailed and would be very loving and caring to your pet. Reliable as well as honest. I have had experience in keeping other people's animals in my home and also in their home. I've tended to small dogs all the way up to very large dogs, have administered medicine when needed as well as even fixed special meals. I know how difficult it is to find someone that you trust to keep your fur baby. They are our children as well. I assure you that I would love and take very good care of your fur baby. They would get walks, a large back yard to run/play in & they even get golf cart rides. 💗🐾They truly would love it here. We love them like our very own. I lost my Yorkie of 16 years 7 years ago & have been doing Rover ever since & LOVE it. Very devastating to me so this is a way for me to still have a pet that I can love and care for. Not ready to have another one of my own just yet. Would love to get to know you and your pet. I currently work for my self so I have lots of time to spend & take care of your fur babie(s). Someone is here 24/7. So I am available for all services 7 days a week. I don't have pets in the home nor children. So my time will be spent taking care of your pet(s). I truly love loving on them. I get attached & have alot of repeat customers & referrals from word of mouth. I will send you daily pictures to let you know what is going on with them & what we are doing. I probably send too many. 😁
“Kariah is absolutely fantastic! My dog was so happy and well taken care of each time. She's is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!! Thank you so much. Ully is a giddy doggo and made new friends. I can't express my appreciation enough!!”
About: I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. But have had 3 of my own since the age of 17. Although I have no professional experience my dogs are well trained. I love running with my dogs. I have a harness and running leash that would fit medium to large dogs. I’d love to run with your dog for an additional cost (max 1.5 miles). I am a stay at home dad of my 2 children. I am pretty flexible when it comes to when I am available. I prefer earlier in the mornings or late afternoons. Upon a visit to your home I would be happy to make sure their is nothing for them they can get into to harm themselves. When walking I am always extremely cautious of other dogs due to not knowing the temperament of other dogs. Lastly upon entering your home I will do my best to be slow and calm. That is your dogs home, not mine. I believe they deserve respect in that aspect just like we do.
About: I love dogs of every kind, they’re all so fun to learn and play with. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have two of my own. I specialize in giving medication, snuggles and play time. I also love a good puppy challenge! I work at a vet clinic four days a week, I also dog sit on the side all the time! I love being available when pet parents need it most ! In my home or yours all is the same. The fur babies are treated like family and are never not loved. Mine are spoiled at home and I hope to spoil yours at your house if need be. Love and safety are the top priorities

Currently I work full time! But don't worry your baby is my top priority! On a daily basis I insure that your pup gets the proper care and love they deserve! While staying at your home I am consistently keeping your pups entertained and active. I love doggie play time whether thats in a backyard or taking them to a doggie park to have fun and run around, or a car ride for a pup cup! Your animals will always have food, water, and all my love and attention! Along with taking care of your babies I am mindful of maintaining your home and being respectful.
About: I have been Housesitting &/or caring for pets in some way since I was at least 15! I am reliable, kind, caring, loving, fun, & will always go the extra mile to make sure pet babies are not only taken care of, but equal members of the home!! I am a Full-Time Special Education Coordinator, but definitely flexible! Mornings, afternoons, evenings, spend the night stays, holidays, etc. all work well for me in order to meet your needs!! I can let pets out into a fenced area to be monitored! I can walk your pets! I can feed your pets! I love to play & snuggle with all pets, etc!
About: When it comes to animals I am all in! I have grown up around animals my whole life and even found my passion in the animal medical field. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility until I took my career as being a vet tech! I am currently a stay at home mom for now until I go back to work so I am very free throughout the whole week! My care for your animal will be superior. I can care for your animal wether it’s a long walk or just some love to keep your pet company.

“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Excellent! Terrific communication, two very friendly dogs and a dog-savvy cat and a lovely dog-friendly home and yard. They welcomed our senior dog and made sure she was comfortable, enjoyed walks and was allowed to find her own cozy space. Just the nice people & place we hoped to find.”
“Eboni did so good with our dog! She was super flexible with drop offs and pick up times. And just very accommodating for this to be such a last minute stay. Rando seemed to have such a great time! I would highly recommend Eboni!!”
“Just an absolutely awesome experience! Super great communication. Beautiful home and neighborhood! It was so nice knowing our babies were well taken care of. 10/10 would use him time and time again and recommend to anyone looking for an AMAZING person to care for your dogs!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
“We booked with Paige at the last minute and it was the best decision we made. Her and her family where very welcoming with getting to know Storm. When we picked her up, we could tell that she was treated like their own. I got pictures of the snuggles which warmed my daughter's heart knowing that her baby was in great hands. We will be booking again when we need care for Storm again.”
“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”
“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”
“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”

“Wendy was wonderful. She sent the cutest photos of my baby daily! She came home tired and happy. It's clear she got lots of exercise and lots of love. Will be using Wendy's services in the future! :)”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Edward did an excellent job communicating by sending pictures of daily activities. He also would send messages with updates to ease the mind of worries while caring for my dog”
“Tania and family always take great care of our dog. They have watched him multiple times and he is always healthy and happy after staying with them and their pets. His last stay got extended due to bad weather delaying our return by a full day, it was no issue and they took care of him until we were able to get back safely.”
“Josilyn was able to take my dog last minute and watch him for a few days after our first plan fell through. She took great care of our boi and he seemed to have a really good time with her.”
