“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Second time my dog has stayed with Fran and it was another wonderful experience. She takes such good care and I love the photo updates she sends. Thank you for taking care of Madi!”
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”
“Absolutely lovely couple. Beth and Jeff welcomed my dog into their home and treated him it was their own. Plenty of pictures, and nothing but positive comments make for a relaxing experience. Thank you”
“Tara and her family are so awesome to our dog. We received updates and pictures regularly showing our dog was happy during the boarding of three weeks. I will use Tara's service again.”
“The best! We love bringing our pet to Marcela and he loves to go also. Wonderful caregiver for our dog and I feel very comfortable leaving him with her. They love him like he is their own.”
“I had such a great experience! They sent me several photo updates, and my dog looked very happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I felt very at ease leaving him with them and will definitely be booking again.”
“Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“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.”
“First time for my pup Wyatt with Thelma. He had a great time . Everything about this process was easy and I was able to visit my college son in NY without a worry! Thanks so much to Thelma and her family for taking such loving care of my boy .”
“Monica is such a caring, loving sitter! Max has stayed with her twice now while I have been out of town and it is always such peace of mind that I know my sensitive little Cavalier will get the TLC he needs.”
“Floyd did an amazing job with our Olive. She is usually afraid of meeting new people(especially men), but she went right to Floyd when we got there. I was amazed! I would definitely recommend them!”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
“Robin P was the best person I could’ve chosen to watch my dog Spencer. Spencer loved being with her and she sent me videos and text daily to let me know how Spencer was doing! She treated Spencer like it was her own dog, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Spencer for us while we were out of town! We have actually booked her again for the beginning of the year when we go on a cruise! Thank you Robin for doing such a great job with our fur baby!!”
“Our boys had a great time at Marley’s! Everything went smoothly, dogs well taken care of, and sweet photo updates throughout the time we were away. Will absolutely book again when needed in the future :)”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”

“Channing was amazing!! My baby was so well taken care of!! He loved her!! I had zero anxiety on my trip knowing she was there. Thank you Channing!! I will always use her on all future adventures!!”
About: I have been working with pets since 2023! I have done everything from walking dogs at the Humane Society to pet sitting to working at my current job which is a Pet boarding facility! I love animals and am so excited to get to know your pets!
“Jill was SUCH a wonderful cat sitter that my little gal is already meowing and asking if she can come back! From the start, Jill was communicative, professional, and always went out of her way to make sure I knew my fur ball (and two hamster companions) was in great hands with plenty of photos and updates from the day. I can’t recommend her enough and i’m crossing my fingers she’ll be around for our next out-of-town adventure!”
“Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!”
About: Cats have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was just three years old. Having spent a lifetime learning their unique language, I am completely in tune with feline behavior—from the most social, playful kittens to shy, independent seniors. Currently, I am the proud parent of five cats of my own. Managing a five-cat household means I am an absolute pro at reading subtle body language, respecting a cat's boundaries, keeping up with specific feeding schedules, and handling the less-glamorous side of cat ownership, like meticulously keeping litter boxes fresh and clean. Your cat won't just be getting a visitor; they'll be getting a lifelong cat lover who truly understands how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved
About: I’m a dog trainer, reptile educator and small scale snake breeder (so I have experience caring for hatching snakes), and have fostered cats, dogs and reptiles. I have worked with animals since I was a small child. I’ve trained my own service dog and love training with young puppies and giving them a confident foundation. I regularly go bike joring with my own dog. I’ve always lived with cats and am very comfortable caring for them. I own many reptiles and am experienced with snakes and lizards, I’ve also worked with horses (rode competitively for 9 years and managed the care of four horses) and other farm animals. I’m not afraid of exotic animals like invertebrates and have some experience with them and with fish. I moved recently from Georgia and so my schedule is a little sporadic but free, I have a car to get around and can travel with animals easily. I regularly take hikes with my own dog, and have a car kennel for safe transport (the brand is Ruffland). I always double check doors are closed and locked as I had a dog when I was a kid who escaped because of a sitter. I follow instructions very carefully and treat every animal I interact with the way I’d like someone to treat my own pets. I keep pet reptiles and can feed and care for yours if need be.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”
About: I was active in 4h and FFA, have taken care of many animals from small to large. I have 4 dogs. Love them so much❤️ I am a college student, but I do online, so during the weeks days, and some weekends works for me. I am usually free later in the day.

About: I have experience in taking care of the smallest of critters to large beasts. I grew up on multiple acres and had the chance to take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, everything and anything. I am a kind soul who will do anything I can for any furry guests. I have watched dogs and cats all over the states. I watch them in my home and also don't mind being mobile if needed. I am currently working from home. I am able to take care of animals needs throughout the day or night. I am able to engage all hours of the day. I am on an .50 acre. I have a very large front yard. That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.
About: I grew up around many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and horses. I have 3 years experience as a veterinary technician, and have some knowledge on caring for older pets or pets that need medication.

I am very flexible at the moment. Shoot me a message! :) Safety is always number one. I am very cognizant of potential issues and/or threats. I believe that screening each dog’s behavior and history is important in preventing potential issues.
“Filip was a great cat/house sitter!!! We came home to our cat not being that excited to see us, which means he had a good week and got lots of love while we were gone <3. We really appreciate Filip's willingness to watch our cat at the last minute, it saved our vacation! We will definitely be booking Filip again.”

I have also administered antibiotics and anti anxiety medication. I love animals and I do all that I can to make the miss you a little less while you are away!
About: Your dog will be given lots of attention and love. I treat all dogs as a part of the family, like "furry children."

“My pups had an awesome day on the ranch with Morgan! She returned my inquiry text within minutes and set up a meet and greet. She was very thorough with her questions about my dogs and their habits, preferences and rules. She asks about your dogs' play style, if your dog is allowed on furniture, are they allowed to dig, are they allowed to have sticks and treats. My dogs have essentially no rules, but that was fine too! She was sweet and friendly and also professional and knowledgeable. I was very confident leaving my dogs with Morgan for a day of daycare while our usual sitter was out of town. She was flexible with my early morning drop off and flexible with pick up since I didn't know what time exactly I would be done with work. Most importantly, my dogs had a great long day with new friends! They spent time inside (snoozing on the couch in the AC) and outside very long leads so they could sniff and explore. The pups said they had a great day and can't wait to come back! We'll definitely be back when we need a backup and possibly for boarding. Thank you Morgan!”
“Alyssa was great and accommodating!! Our pup was so loved and cared for. She helped us out last minute and our buddy said he had a great time☺️would def recommend!”
“Hudson had such a great time with Sidney and her crew! Hudson enjoyed playing with her other dogs and you can tell Sidney cares a lot for the dogs she takes on! Sidney was kind and responsive, and was very flexible with a short notice booking. We will definitely be re-booking for daycare in the future 😊”
“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.

About: Hi! We’re Jeff and Steph. I work from home full-time, and Steph is a teacher with summers and holidays off, so your dog will get plenty of attention and care. We provide a calm, structured home environment and tend to do best with hypoallergenic or low-shedding dogs. We’ve had dogs for years and are very comfortable managing multiple dogs in a home setting. We currently have two doodles, Rudy and Carolina, and are used to reading dog behavior, introducing dogs slowly, and keeping a calm, structured environment. We focus on routines, supervision, and making sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable during their stay. We’ve also hosted dogs for friends and family and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their dog in a safe, reliable home. Pet care fits very naturally into our weekly routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Steph is a teacher and has summers and holidays off, which gives us even more flexibility and coverage during busy travel times. Between the two of us, dogs are rarely left alone and are part of a steady, predictable routine that helps them feel comfortable and at ease. We provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment. I work from home, so dogs receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all dogs are introduced slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. We only take a small number of dogs at a time to keep things low-stress and manageable. We follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel at home.
“Taylor was amazing with our puppy Gus! Her adult lab was calm and great with him as well. Taylor sent regular updates & pictures throughout the day. We’ll be going back regularly for doggy daycare!”
“Larissa is so gentle and kind with my puppy and she was very responsible with my high energy furr-baby. I'm so glad I found her and I would definitely recommend her for reliable and compassionate dog care.”
About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!
“Teddy played all day with Leslie. She sent many pictures and videos for updates. She checked off the list of Teddy's needs and followed up on all of them. We could tell that she was totally dedicated to Teddy for the entire day! Teddy transitioned home perfectly. Thank You, Leslie!”
“I have a very nervous little dachshund; Kelli went above and beyond to make him feel safe and secure. Communications were great, too! Will definitely book again with Kelli.”

“Wonderful day care experience. We are getting ready to board Bingo for the first time later this week and because he had never been boarded, we wanted to get him used to being without us and his upcoming stay with Floyd and Connie. After bonding with him, they sent us some great photos of which immediately put my mind at ease. Bingo seemed happy and not at all fearful, as we thought he’d be. I’m sure the time he will be staying with them will be a good one.”

“Jill was wonderful with Milly! She was able to drop in last minute and immediately made us feel comfortable our animals in her care. She is trustworthy, communicated well and sent us great picture updates! It gave us a peace of mind knowing Milly was so well taken care of while we were away.

“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”
“Sarah was professional and communicative and responsible. She has good energy and I felt Vedic comfortable with her. I am going to hire her for my upcoming 8 day trip!! So, needless to say, I recommend her.”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the country, I had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals, from beloved family pets to more unique companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, turkeys, ducks, a degu (yes, they're real!), a tortoise, snakes, and lizards. Today, I share my home with our rescued Lab/Pit Bull mix, whom we've loved since she was just a few months old. We recently said goodbye to our senior dog after a courageous battle with cancer, which only deepened my appreciation for the special bond we share with our pets. I truly love animals of all kinds (with the exception of spiders and cockroaches!). Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. With my husband serving in law enforcement, safety, trust, and integrity are values we live by every day. You can feel confident knowing I'll treat not only your pets with exceptional care, but your home with the utmost respect, responsibility, and security while you're away. I'm a wife and mom of two teenage boys, and I work as both a paralegal and a real estate agent. Because I work primarily from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, I'm able to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. Whether your furry family member needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I can easily accommodate their routine and give them the time and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet is unique, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. While I'm not currently able to host pets in my own home, I'm happy to care for them in the comfort and familiarity of theirs. I understand how important it is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away. I'll carefully follow all of your instructions—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and bedtime routines—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care that gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy and your home is being treated with the utmost respect while you're away.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I had a lab for 14 years and now have a Pomeranian/shih-tzu mix. I have been watching a pitbull for about two years now who needs medication two times a day, so I have no issues with giving medications. I have no problem watching big, medium, or small dogs because I have done a mix of all sizes. I had two cats growing up and have sat cats a few times. I love animals so much and I would love to be a sitter for you! I am a full time student, living at home, so my schedule is very open. I would like a weeks notice just so I can confirm that I am available. With an open schedule, I do not mind hanging out at the house all day or overnight. I do not mind crating your pet. I do not mind taking them on walks either.
About: Hello! My family has had pets (cats and dogs) my entire life. I currently have two cats of my own- Nova and Arrow. I am very responsible and know how important pets are in one's life- they are family too! I enjoy running and would love to take your dog on a run with me! I can also play fetch for hours. I have experience dog-sitting for many of my friends when they are out of town, as I am almost always here during the holidays (my family lives out of state). I'm unable to have a dog of my own right now, so I would love to spend some time with yours! Whatever special needs your pet requires, just let me know I will happily oblige! I can be available on short notice and am around most weekends and holidays! I'm also hoping to meet new people through this that share a similar passion for animals :)
About: I have taken care of pets personally since I was 10 years old. I currently have a cat that I personally medicate daily. My experience watching pets spans from house sitting large dogs to cats. I can walk, feed, and medicate both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at both cat and dog shelters throughout my life. I have extensive experience with animals. I make it a point to care for pets as if there owners never left making them feel comfortable and cared for. I do work full time outside of rover which requires me to be gone for working hours. On weekdays I am away no more than 8 hours and on weekends I try to be gone less than 4 hour increments. I dog sit because I love animals. Please contact me if you are okay with these restrictions. Currently I am working during the week but have availability over the weekends and Thursdays! I am flexible depending on how far the location is from my home and job! It is important to keep pets environment clean and safe, so I always make it a point to keep things tidy. I ensure that the home will look exactly like the owner has left it and that their pet is well cared for. In the event of accidents, I have no problem cleaning up the mess and bathing the animal if necessary. Please just leave instructions on how you would like the cleaning and bathing handled!
About: I’m a lifelong Floridian with a big heart for dogs. I’ve raised my own two pups, Shiloh and Zeus, and have also helped raise and regularly care for friends’ dogs over the years. Watching them grow up has brought me so much joy. When I’m not caring for pups, you’ll find me spending time with my family, baking in my kitchen, or traveling with my dogs. On weekends, I love making fresh homemade dog treats for my pups—and for the neighborhood dogs too. Nothing makes me happier than creating yummy goodies for the pups who have become part of our extended family, including our newest friend, Teddy, who lives right next door. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little pack🏡🐾 Our daily schedule is balanced, structured, and full of love. We start each morning with gentle wake-ups, lots of affection, and individual potty breaks. After breakfast, we head out for a morning walk followed by playtime—Shiloh loves tug-of-war and is always ready to share his toys. Midday is our calm, restful period where Zeus enjoys his cozy naps with soft music in the background, and visiting pups can relax or enjoy quiet companionship. In the afternoon, we offer light play, enrichment, or short outings, and sometimes a special treat like a homemade snack or a pup cup. Evenings are peaceful with backyard time, movies, and cuddles before settling into each dog’s normal nighttime routine. Your pup’s usual schedule will always be respected so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home where every pup is treated with the same care and attention I give to my own dogs, Shiloh and Zeus. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, follow your dog’s routine closely, and always supervise playtime to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. I believe in building trust through clear communication, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is relaxing, playing, or settling in for the night, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, supported, and truly cared for.
About: I am retired. My husband Paul and I have two mixed terriers, brother and sister, that we rescued during Covid. Sydney is our little girl and has some Dachshund and Bo is more Irish Terrier with some Wheaton. They are 4 years old. Our pictures show some of our past, beloved pets. We have had 7 dogs prior to our sibling dogs and two miniature horses. I have a fenced backyard, a secured pool with a shallow entry and live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can walk here or come to you. I walk every day my dogs every day for approximately two miles. We do a mix of well paced walking and significant "sniffing" time. Sniffing is good for dog cardio. We have a fenced yard and a pool with a shallow level for smaller dogs that might like to get their feet wet. Treats are well planned and on the small side. And we have toys! In your home I will abide by your instructions.

“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”
“Tara and her family are so awesome to our dog. We received updates and pictures regularly showing our dog was happy during the boarding of three weeks. I will use Tara's service again.”
“The best! We love bringing our pet to Marcela and he loves to go also. Wonderful caregiver for our dog and I feel very comfortable leaving him with her. They love him like he is their own.”
“I had such a great experience! They sent me several photo updates, and my dog looked very happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I felt very at ease leaving him with them and will definitely be booking again.”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“Monica is such a caring, loving sitter! Max has stayed with her twice now while I have been out of town and it is always such peace of mind that I know my sensitive little Cavalier will get the TLC he needs.”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“Can’t say enough positive things about our first experience with Amelia! Very accommodating—she even kept him an extra night when I miscalculated our booking! Sent lots of photos and we could see our pup was comfortable with her and her dog. Will be using her again every chance we get!”

“Hanna took such great care of our dog, Bella. She sent us daily videos and pictures of Bella and kept us posted on how she was doing and adjusting. She was very prompt in responses which was great and kept in great communications. Will def use again for care when we head out of town again.”
“Marlene took my 2 huskies on to board overnight on short notice and took excellent care of them. She was very accommodating to the one’s anxiety and was very attentive. I would definitely recommend using her services 😊”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“Jeffrey and Stephanie are fantastic dog sitters — I couldn't recommend them more highly! From the very first meet-and-greet, they were warm, attentive, and clearly dog people through and through. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout every stay, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and having a great time. My dog absolutely adores them. It's such a relief to have sitters I trust completely — they treat my dog like family. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Kimber is a dog lover through and through. She communicated with us daily sending pics and videos of our dog during our trip.. She was quick in responding to our questions and as easy to book with. Our dog had plenty of dog friends to play with while there, as well as a cozy spot on her couch to lounge in. When we were delayed picking up our dog she was very accommodating. We would definitely use her again.”
