“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“Highly recommended Morgan! She sent daily pictures and updates while we were on vacation. Our dog got lots of exercise and time outside and plenty of attention. She was quick to respond to messages and flexible when our flight was delayed and we needed to adjust our pick up plans. Will definitely be using her again for future boarding”
“Cindy and Steve did a great job watching Bodie our Golden Retriever over Christmas. They were very flexible on drop off and pickup times. We got regular photo and video updates. They have a lovely home and a large fenced in play area and also walked Bodie regularly.”
“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her again.”
“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.”
“Great care for our two dogs.They have very different personalities and they were comfortable because Lori shared their behaviors exactly like they are at home. It was amazing. She shared pictures along which made our time away easier as I didn’t have to worry about them. Thank you Lori!”
“Thelma is a caring and experienced dog sitter who took excellent care of my dog while I was away. she took walks with my dog and exercised her with ball catching. I was very happy with the care she received.”
“Absolutely best experience with leaving my precious puppy at!! Monica sent pics daily and reaffirmed my heart that Lulu was happy! So good that I think she wants to visit🤣 THANK YOU MONICA, you made trip so much better!!!”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for my 1 year old Cockapoo. I was a little nervous about finding a sitter when we moved in September. Thanks to Rover and Linda I found a way to be comfortable about leaving my baby. After having a meet and greet with Linda, I was sure that I found the right person. I was happy when she advised me during the day and sent cute pictures. It made my weekend away so much better knowing my puppy was well taken care of.”
“Jennifer took great care of my dog, even sending me pictures. I have had 3 previous pet sitters that left me wondering if I could ever trust another person to take care of my dog. Jennifer is definitely trustworthy. She made me feel relaxed knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Thank you Jennifer. I will definitely use you again in the future!”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“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!!!!”
“Marley was a SUPERIOR sitter! She and her husband went above and beyond to keep me informed of Toby's adjustment and adventures with them. Frequent texts and photos reassured me that Toby was in great hands during my absence. Toby enjoyed their fenced yard as well as the freedom to roam in their lovely home. I highly recommend Marley B.!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“Floyd & Connie take great care of my Rico. They provide tons of pictures and updates throughout his stay and are quick to respond to any messages. Thank you both!”
“Nancy was great. She gave me updates about my dog pictures and texts. If I called to check up on him, she was able to answer the phone she had toys and was very sweet. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

I have a fenced in yard and a 1 year old doodle myself that loves to play. I let the dogs free roam throughout the house.
“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!”
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. However if you need all day I can also do that too. I can’t bring pets to my house due to all of the animals we have, however I can watch them at your own home , I can come over as many times as needed
“Channing dropped in twice a day to take care of my three cats for a week while on vacation. She was prompt, excellent with communication, and shared pictures at every visit. I would definition use her services again. Thanks, Channing!”
“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!”

“Morgan takes caring for your fur babies seriously. She stayed in contact when there were changes to visit timing, etc, sent lots of pictures, and put in the time (and quiet effort) to get our very skittish girl kitty to come out and eat. Morgan is a great resource for caring for your pets.”
About: I have volunteered with animals since I was 10 years old. I have been a cat owner for the past 6 years. I am familiar with medicating difficult kitties. I give my cat allergy medication daily.

“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.”

“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!”
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.
“My two dogs must have the time of their lives with Marcela, as each time they have come home after day care, they are pooped, and happy! A beautiful property with room for them to run, run, run! Thank you, Marcela, for opening your home to my boys!”
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.
“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

My healthcare background ensures attentive service for your pets. I have years of dog and cat sitting experience. I provide dog walking, day drop-ins, and personalized care to keep your furry companions safe. I am in graduate school with a flexible rotating schedule.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and a veterinary technician at BluePearl Pet Hospital. Caring for animals is both my career and my passion, so your pet will be in experienced and loving hands. I have two dogs of my own. Toby is my sweet 9-year-old basset mix who is a tripod. He’s the king of belly rubs and spends most of his day happily napping. Luna is my 4-year-old doodle who has the opposite personality—she loves to play, run around, and dig in the backyard. Both dogs are very friendly and used to being around other animals. I do have children in my house - two boys. They will not be assisting with care but they do love animals and will be happy to give snuggles and pets! Because of my veterinary background, I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. I can administer medications, including eye drops, insulin injections, fluids, and can check blood glucose levels when needed. I’m happy to help with pets who need a little extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here—just like part of the family. A big perk of staying with me is while I can still an active veterinary technician at Blue Pearl pet hospital, my husband is always home if I am not. Your pet will never be left alone more than an hour for a quick errand. I only work two days shifts a week, so I’m around quite often. Because of our work schedules, your pet will rarely be left alone. I only work four days a week, and my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone at the house to let the dogs out, feed them, and check on them throughout the day. Your pet will get lots of attention, supervision, and frequent potty breaks. I also know how important updates are when you’re away from your pet, so I make sure to send regular photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel comfortable while they’re staying with us. We live on a quiet street with a fully fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. It’s a calm, pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and enjoy time outside. 🐾
“Amy and her daughters were so great with our energetic puppy!! She got all her energy out in the few hours they were together. They went to the dog park, and let our puppy go to town in their pool (which is her happy place)!! Will 200% be scheduling a bunch more play dates!”
“So grateful to have had our Milo stay in her house. Communication was excellent, and her home—with its backyard—is very cozy. I 100% recommend Yeini for taking care of your pet! Agradecido por recibir a nuestro Milo. Comunicación muy buena y su casa, con patio, muy acogedora. Recomiendo 100% a Yeini por el cuidado de tu mascota.”
“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.”
About: My wife and I have had dogs since we were kids and treat them just like any member of the family. We believe dogs were made to be cuddled and spoiled as much as possible :) My wife and I both work from home and our jobs are extremely flexible. We have lots of time to play and let your puppy outside to use the restroom and chase butterflies. We can crate your puppy if you want, but our preferred choice is to give your puppy the freedom to roam the house and hang with us on the couch. We have a great fenced in yard that will ensure your dog is safe when going outside to use the restroom.
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: 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!
“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 came over to watch my pups during fireworks and it was such a huge relief! My dogs clearly love her and feel comfortable with her and I deeply appreciate the care she takes with them.”
“Thank you Floyd and Connie for taking such good care of Jasper today. Having a timid dog can be challenging and your patience and understanding with Jasper worked wonders!! We will definitely bring him back in a few months for another day care visit!!”

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 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: I have had a total of four dogs my whole life, including two labs, a German Shepherd, and currently, a Belgian Malinois. I also have past work with dogs of all sizes at a dog bakery and grooming facility, and I am very comfortable around all kinds of dogs. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time for drop in visits. My availability does vary by week depending on my work schedule but I am typically available no less than four days a week. I have plenty of experience with both big and small dogs, so whether it is going into your house to feed them, taking them outside, or playing with them, I am very comfortable.

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.
About: I am a lifelong dog owner. I recently rescued a four legged friend myself which makes me a proud dog mom. I am trusted and relied on by friends, family, and customers to dog sit, walk their dog, and give their fur babies as much love an attention as they need while their owners are away.

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.
“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!”
About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.
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 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!

“Highly recommended Morgan! She sent daily pictures and updates while we were on vacation. Our dog got lots of exercise and time outside and plenty of attention. She was quick to respond to messages and flexible when our flight was delayed and we needed to adjust our pick up plans. Will definitely be using her again for future boarding”
“Cindy and Steve did a great job watching Bodie our Golden Retriever over Christmas. They were very flexible on drop off and pickup times. We got regular photo and video updates. They have a lovely home and a large fenced in play area and also walked Bodie regularly.”
“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Great care for our two dogs.They have very different personalities and they were comfortable because Lori shared their behaviors exactly like they are at home. It was amazing. She shared pictures along which made our time away easier as I didn’t have to worry about them. Thank you Lori!”
“Absolutely best experience with leaving my precious puppy at!! Monica sent pics daily and reaffirmed my heart that Lulu was happy! So good that I think she wants to visit🤣 THANK YOU MONICA, you made trip so much better!!!”
“Jennifer took great care of my dog, even sending me pictures. I have had 3 previous pet sitters that left me wondering if I could ever trust another person to take care of my dog. Jennifer is definitely trustworthy. She made me feel relaxed knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Thank you Jennifer. I will definitely use you again in the future!”
“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!!!!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with them over the holidays. I received great communication and beautiful pictures. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing he was in good hands. I 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!”
“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!”
“AMAZING!! I have never been so calm leaving my pup with Mrs. Kimber. Her and her family are so kind and welcoming. I received videos of my dog everyday and I could see that my pup was being well taken care of and having a lot of fun. To be honest, I didn’t think my dog was going to want to come home after her stay, she was having too much fun! Mrs. Kimber and her family are definitely my new permanent dog sitters. 10/10, definitely recommend.”
“Kathy was great, I never felt uncomfortable leaving Louis with her and Roy. The daily text photo reports were always welcome. He had a blast playing in their large fenced back yard. Highly recommended.”
“Svetlana was absolutely amazing! She booked me last minute and was so accommodating and kind. She obviously has a love for animals and is a very responsible pet owner herself. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”
“I highly recommend Kelly! She was sweet, accommodating, and always quick to respond. We could tell our dog had an amazing time and was well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
