“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've had in my life. A true gem. Her communications are timely and clear. If I could higher rating i would but there wouldn't be enough room on the rating sheet to hold all the stars she's earned..”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth took great care of our two pups for almost two weeks. They sent us regular photos and always responded quickly to messages. We will definitely use them again!”
“Karlee did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dogs, Atlas and Jaxon, this weekend. Atlas can be a bit of a difficult dog at times, but she handled him with so much patience, confidence, and care, it truly put me at ease. She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant a lot and helped me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while they were with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, especially when one can be a little more challenging, but Karlee exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m so grateful for the attention and care she gave them, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Terrific care and love generatedfrom Tracy to Millie. Plays ball and takes walks with Millie on a daily basis. She asked for permission to take for car rides and trips, that Millie thoroughly enjoys, and I enthusiastically approved. She relieved the apprehension I had about leaving, enabling me to enjoy my vacation.”
“Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!”
“Akira had a wonderful time with Abigail. I got lots of pictures and videos whilst Akiras was there. She was immediately super comfortable and catered to. Akira will definitely be coming back 😊”
About: I grew up with two large breed dogs in the home at all times since i was born. I spent a couple years volunteering at PAWS Adoption Center in St. George, Utah and have experience with all kinds of pups: Big, small, old, young, fluffy, stinky. Bring it on! I currently own no pets and love animals. I'd love to give your pets some extra lovin while you're away! I work monday-friday during the day for 8 hours but have the ability to come home during lunch time for check ins, potty breaks, etc. I am free on weekends all day. My pets have always been family to me and your pets will be treated exactly the same. I am on this app because i love animals want as much of them in my life as possible. I'm extremely patient, attentive, and able to adapt your pets specific needs. I have experience as an in-house pet sitter as well and in my own home so this is familiar work for me.
“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”
“Excellent stay and care for Sweetie 💕 Beth was amazing and very friendly, responsive and took great care of my pup. Additional perk, Sweetie found a new BFF. 100 % recommend”
“My pup loves staying with Kim and Glen! She gets tons of play time outside, and also lots of couch time and snuggles with Glen. She’s always such a happy girl when I come back from trips and I love the report card and treats they send her home with.”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”

“Julie was fabulous. She dropped in to check on my kitty. Made sure she was good and fed. She also sent me pic. She even brought in our front door deliveries. Definitely recommend Julie.”
About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!
“We brought our 4 month old Sharpei with us on vacation and wanted to spend the day at an amusement park with our human kids. We couldn’t leave him alone all day, but luckily we found Andrea on Rover.”
About: The Universe Cat Distribution System gave my Maine Coon when she was 4 years old. She is 13 now. She is the master of RBF and is affectionately known as KittyB***Cakes by friends and family. I grew up with dogs but when she came into my life, I discovered how much I needed continuous (sometimes forced) kitty snuggles and realized that the connection made with a cat is one of respect and love, not the up the butt attention seeking love that dogs give. I love to spend time staring at the unseen monsters in the corners of the room with them, just as much as I love watching the kamikaze flying kitty kicks fueled by catnip and zoomies. Even the most scaredycat friends are best friends. Ill make sure that your cat is well cared for!
About: If you have a puppy or a dog that needs a little extra help getting down the basics of sit, wait, leave it, come, or has trouble walking on the leash; i am your doggy savior! I do all my walks using the lose leash method, meaning the dog is more in "heel" then pulling or trailing behind. I love walking on hiking paths and trails as well as city and community walks. I always bring treats, water, and poop bags on my walks! I have an Australian labradoodle, Kingsley who is my service dog and loves other dogs! If you're interested in socializing your pup can have a playdate, he is a great friend. I can fully handle dogs of all sizes and ages and will follow all instructions left by you. I am trustworthy, reliable, and time and have a car, so I will be able to get to you, no problem. I work from home and love animals! Happy to play, train, and walk dogs. I have been pet sitting for 11 years and am very honest and loyal. I care for pets in clients home, walk, playtime, and offer puppy training. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with animal and supporting families. Please reach out if this seems to be a good fit :)
“I am so happy to found Caroline as my cat sitter! She made sure on her visit their litter was clean and the food and water was clean and full. She also send me some cute pictures of my cats and spend some quality time with them. I will definitely will use Caroline again. Also I’ll make sure my friends will use her for there fur babies. Thank you so much Caroline 😊”
About: Hi! My name is Camryn and I'm 24 years old. I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and creating a peaceful home environment. I recently graduated and am coming back for summer break after playing professional volleyball in Europe. I’m disciplined, reliable, and used to maintaining routines — which I know is especially important when it comes to pets feeling safe and comfortable. I'm also very respectful of other people's homes. I keep spaces clean, organized, and well cared for, and I approach house sitting with the mindset that I'm looking after something important to someone else, because I know how much trust that takes. l'd love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and make sure everything runs smoothly while you're gone. I love house and pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My schedule is super flexible and I also enjoy having a routine and spending time in new places in a more local, relaxed way, it's a great fit for my personality. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions (like medication or special diets).
“Elisa met my expectations and more! We did an meet and greet and right off the bat I knew she was the right one. My cats have a new friend and so do I! Thank you for the love you gave to them!”
“Elisa was very good with Hopi and kept him for 3 days without any other pets. He seemed very well cared for and met his needs. He was comfortable enough to sleep with them!”
About: Since I was little I have always had pets. Started with two dogs, then bunny rabbits, cats, and more dogs! Around 2012 is when we were down to 1 dog and 1 rabbit and decided we were going to work with a local shelter and be foster parents to make sure these pups found a great home and were trained and nourished before the went. We have fostered from puppies to a few years old of all different kinds of dogs. With having pets all my life and my sister being a vet to give me advice, I feel that I am capable of being a reliable caregiver to your pets as well! I currently just moved to Florida to complete my degree in physician assistant studies. This is will be the most difficult thing I have ever done and will not have time for a full time job. Being able to provide times that I am available is extremely convenient for my grueling schedule of graduate school. I am available all week days just about until school starts and I get a routine down. I think its a great idea to take dogs on as many walks as much as possible to socialize when they can. Taking them for walks or even to a park/fenced in field is a great way I like to take care of my pup. All I ask is that you let me know if they are good with other animals.
About: I have had dogs the entirety of my life, so I grew up knowing how to care for animals. I have had experiences with a variety of animals and breeds. I am currently a part time college student with a relatively flexible schedule. I am often available in the middle of the day and evenings. I prioritize building trust, so my time with pets and respect there personal space. I enjoy running around and playing with higher energy pets but I get along with any energetic level. I know how to maintain obedience without being harsh, and I make sure to carefully follow what the owners say.

“Thank you Betsy! Last minute booking and very accommodating for me. Betsy is lovely and highly recommend! We were late picking Zoey up due to traffic congestion. Suggest to newbies to ck traffic for timing. See you next week!”
“They were awesome! Glen had a great time playing with the other dogs there! They know a ton about dogs so I felt extremely comfortable leaving glen with them for the day and they were great to him! Definitely will be using them anytime I am in town!”
“Michelle is super nice. We felt comfortable leaving Mazy in her care. Mazy had a day of fun I know this because she has been sleeping for 3 hours since we picked her up. Would definitely use her again”
“Fantastic dog care Very impressed with how Janette handles dogs It was our first time and Griffin was relaxed and peaceful when I picked him up, which is unusual using a first time sitter I highly recommend her, but not so much that I can’t find space to use her again!!! 5+ stars”
“Adela was easy to work with and made our dog, Nala, very comfortable. Nala has separation anxiety and is usually very wound up and hyper when we pick her up from a sitter. This wasn't the case after her time with Adela. She was calm and didn't seem stressed at all. Nala didn't demonstrate any separation anxiety the second day we left her with Adela, which is uncommon for her, even with people she knows and likes.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
About: My hubby and I are home and pet sitters for folks on LBK and surrounding areas. We LOVE some pups to play/spend time with when sitting pet-friendly condos and are also able to come stay with your pet in your home. We will play inside and outside, go for walks, use their family/familiar commands, snacks, food, and naps. Will follow any needed structure requested; example: if you do not allow your dog on furniture, I will follow suit. I offer overnight stays as well as daytime care, a la cart services as needed. I am currently at home each day so have plenty of time to play with and care for pups. I would enjoy the companionship myself as well! We are home and pet sitters and travel often. Although we tend to travel to the same places (clients) each year, our boarding availability depends on the condo we are sitting at the time and it's pet rules. If I cannot board your pup in at my place, I can usually come to you or provide daily drop-ins.
“Anu is fantastic! Taz loves seeing her and playing with Izzy. She keeps us informed of how Taz is doing, sends a few pictures and we feel very comfortable leaving Taz with her. Taz has separation anxiety, but has displayed none of it when he goes with Anu. Very happy and have booked Anu several times in the coming weeks.”

About: I have provided outstanding pet care for over 25 years here in Florida as well as my home state of Maine. I have cared for birds, cats and dogs since I was a small child. I'm currently a dog Mom to a 5 year old miniature poodle. While I am an experienced dog sitter of all sizes, "Gracie" would prefer only small breeds in our home. Your pets needs are our top priority. Frequent potty breaks, meals and playtime are provided frequently. In the event I need to leave for brief periods, I have access to home surveillance on my smartphone. I reside in a safe neighborhood. My home is a one story single family home with a 4 Ft fenced in backyard. Dogs are never outside without supervision. Gracie, my poodle pup, loves chasing sticks and sunbathing. She would love to have a buddy to enjoy her favorite activities with. She loves all dogs but prefers those her own size. Ideally, 10-25 pounds. I utilize Arlo and Wyze, security apps, to monitor safety when I need to be away from home for short periods of time.
“We left our puppy for the first time with Paul. We were put at ease as he sent us lots of pictures to see how her day was going. Your dog will have great care! We highly recommend him for your dog!”
“There are no words to express our gratitude. We are not from the area, were on a weekend getaway and requested pet sitting last minute. Hadassah was very flexible and accommodating. She picked up and dropped off our dog per our requests. She even gave him a bath. Thanks to Hadassah we were able to enjoy our weekend!”
“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Jewel was and is amazing with our pups! Sent many pictures of them so mom was very happy. One of our dogs tends to be very picky about who he stays with, he loved Jewel immediately. My husband and I couldn’t believe it. We will be booking with her again. They came home so happy and tried.”

About: I raised 3 daughters and they turned out OK! Your pets will be fine! I’m a retired snowbird living part of the year in Bradenton! Retired school counselor actually, so no pet can be as challenging as my students! As for pet experience, I’ve had 2 golden retrievers and bred them to for a total of 25 puppies.

About: I have experience working with elderly and sick dogs so I am used to administering medicine. I had two dogs before I moved out of my parents a teacup chihuahua and a mutt named buddy. Felipe is 13 and buddy is 6. I have experience working at a dog shelter in San Diego California when I was 13-14. I am open to all breeds and all sizes. Both of my dogs were from the spca so I’m used to untrained pups. I will treat your dog like they are my own. Trips to the dog park regularly if boarding and regular walks and attention. I am a piercer at a tattoo shop and my partner is a tattoo artist, we have revolving schedules. Usually the pup would only be left alone 1-2 hours at a time, when i go to work and he comes home right after i leave. We are both animal lovers so being on rover is a nice way from preventing us from getting our own dog. I do stay in apartment but we make sure to go on regular walks around the neighborhood. There is a small fenced in area i like to take them too as well.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors/friends dogs and senior dogs, which also includes time to ease owners worries. My goal is to provide home care away.

My dog loves to play with other dogs & my cat watches oh so closely. They love it.

About: Hi! I’m 22 years old, happily married, and a devoted dog lover living in Lakewood Ranch. My two pups, Apollo and Zora, are my best friends, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, updates, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of my daily life! As a work-from-home professional, I’m able to be around pets throughout the day and easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and lots of attention into my routine. I have two dogs of my own, Apollo and Zora, so caring for pets is already second nature to me. Whether it’s sticking to a specific schedule or providing extra cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾💕 I care for pets by focusing on consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner.
About: I am a compassionate and dependable animal lover who has spent the past eight years caring for my own pet with dedication and heart. My love for animals goes beyond responsibility—it’s a genuine passion rooted in patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I take pride in making sure every animal in my care will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My special bond with my support dog, Bella, reflects the deep connection I build with animals, treating them as family. Anyone can feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands with me. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available to stop by for playtime, feeding, walks, or pet sitting—whatever you need. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my top priorities.

No matter what you’re looking for, I will always care for your pet with patience, responsibility, and genuine love.
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Bernadette. I am a 23 year old college student. Growing up, (even though my parents didn't appreciate it) I was the girl who would always bring home strays. I would either some how persuade my parents to keep the dog I found or would help place the dog into a nice loving home. Ever since I could remember, my family would have several dogs at a time... So now caring for them is second nature. When I first started attending college I would always find myself puppysitting/dogsitting for several of my friends whenever they went out of town for few days. Then, when I heard about this app, I thought what better way to utilize and expand on my care for animals! To me dogs aren't just pets, they are family. I am a fellow dog lover and would love to take care of your fur babies. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to inquire further. Thank you and I look forward to taking care of your best friend!
About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.

I keep spaces clean, organized, and well cared for, and I approach house sitting with the mindset that I'm looking after something important to someone else, because I know how much trust that takes. l'd love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and make sure everything runs smoothly while you're gone. I love house and pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My schedule is super flexible and I also enjoy having a routine and spending time in new places in a more local, relaxed way, it's a great fit for my personality. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions (like medication or special diets).

“Without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've had in my life. A true gem. Her communications are timely and clear. If I could higher rating i would but there wouldn't be enough room on the rating sheet to hold all the stars she's earned..”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Karlee did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dogs, Atlas and Jaxon, this weekend. Atlas can be a bit of a difficult dog at times, but she handled him with so much patience, confidence, and care, it truly put me at ease. She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant a lot and helped me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while they were with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, especially when one can be a little more challenging, but Karlee exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m so grateful for the attention and care she gave them, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Terrific care and love generatedfrom Tracy to Millie. Plays ball and takes walks with Millie on a daily basis. She asked for permission to take for car rides and trips, that Millie thoroughly enjoys, and I enthusiastically approved. She relieved the apprehension I had about leaving, enabling me to enjoy my vacation.”
About: I grew up with two large breed dogs in the home at all times since i was born. I spent a couple years volunteering at PAWS Adoption Center in St. George, Utah and have experience with all kinds of pups: Big, small, old, young, fluffy, stinky. Bring it on! I currently own no pets and love animals. I'd love to give your pets some extra lovin while you're away! I work monday-friday during the day for 8 hours but have the ability to come home during lunch time for check ins, potty breaks, etc. I am free on weekends all day. My pets have always been family to me and your pets will be treated exactly the same. I am on this app because i love animals want as much of them in my life as possible. I'm extremely patient, attentive, and able to adapt your pets specific needs. I have experience as an in-house pet sitter as well and in my own home so this is familiar work for me.
“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”
“My pup loves staying with Kim and Glen! She gets tons of play time outside, and also lots of couch time and snuggles with Glen. She’s always such a happy girl when I come back from trips and I love the report card and treats they send her home with.”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
“Lisa and Charlie are fantastic! They were very accommodating and I could tell Jax warmed right up to them! Pictures and communications were great - I strongly recommend using them to take care of your pup!”
“We were so happy with Kendal and Dre. Dexter seemed so comfortable with them and their pup, Zeus. They were excellent keeping us informed with text messages, pictures and videos. Kendal even gave him a goody bag with homemade treats and a toy bone. We have already booked them for another stay next month. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our baby with you both.”
“I booked a last-minute overnight stay for my dog, and Lori was amazing from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with, super responsive, and made me feel completely at ease. She took excellent care of my dog, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciated her flexibility. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
