“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“My dog daughter loves being with Angie and her husband. They take care of her as if she were her family. They allowed her to sleep with them and made her feel happy with games and walks. I would really book again and I recommend that if you want your furry ones to feel at home that you do it too. Pd. Thank you for all the photos and videos during her care.”
“First time using Susan to watch my cat and it was great! She's very gracious and any trepidation was put to rest after meeting her. Great communication. Highly recommended!”

“Janelly was very communicative and responsive with me during Asher & Sweetie’s stay with her. They both came home healthy and happy! We will definitely try to have them stay with Janelly next time we can take them with us”
“Diana is my dog Tucker’s sitter. I know his basic needs will be taken care and his emotional needs are also taken care of. He gets warm human comfort while his most important human is absent in his life.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elisa while she cared for our dog, Lia. This was our first time using Elisa’s services, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that Lia was in great hands. Throughout Lia’s stay, Elisa kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how well Lia was doing. She was also very attentive to Lia’s eating habits and took the time to ensure she ate her full meals, something we truly appreciated. Elisa’s care, communication, and genuine attention to Lia’s needs exceeded our expectations. We can honestly say that we will be bringing Lia back to Elisa in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Keliecathran is so caring and inclusive with our girls. She makes them feel comfortable and welcome, and they love to be with her dog, Coconut, too. They will be staying again, soon.”
“Alexus was great! She communicated with us. She sent us pictures and every time I checked in she responded, and she took very good care of our children!! She’s awesome I highly recommend her!”
“Krista is an amazing dog sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby in her home and under her care. The communication was perfect, I got two updates a day with photos. Her home was safe and she had plenty for him to play with, a large fenced in yard, etc. My dog had so much fun and got so much love. I would absolutely recommend Krista to anyone in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely have her watch my dog again in the future. So grateful for her help and kindness, she clearly loves what she does and it shows.”
“I’m so thankful for Dianette and her daughter and the amazing care they gave my dog Hunter. They were patient, loving, and very attentive. I really appreciated the updates with pictures and messages—it gave me so much peace of mind. Hunter was happy, safe, and well taken care of the whole time. I’ll definitely trust them again in the future and highly recommend their services!”
“Teddy and Gina enjoyed their stay with Rebecca. During their visit, Rebecca sent pictures of Teddy and Gina playing and snuggling. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and was responsive to all our questions. This was a great first experience.”
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”

About: I've loved animals my whole life! Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, fish, and even a gerbil. Later, I had two wonderful dogs of my own, so I understand just how much our pets become part of the family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have the time to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve—not just quick check-ins. Whether we're going for walks, playing, sticking to their routine, or simply keeping each other company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Teri took care of our two cats and did an excellent job. She followed all instructions and took the time to play with and engage with our cats. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She also cleaned up after the cats. Thank you, Teri and Rover!”
“Excellent job. Couldn't have asked for more. When we are in need again she will undoubtedly be our number one go to; this is the way people should do their job. We can't give enough praise.”
“Nikki did everything we asked and more. We will definitely use her again when we travel. We have one cat that hides from everyone and the very first day she was at the house, she sent a picture of her petting that cat. She is a “cat whisperer” for sure.”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Angela is amazing! She dropped in to look at after my cat while I was on vacation, and I could not have asked for anyone better! She was on time and made sure everything was taken care of, including some quality cuddles and pets! She sent me pictures each time she visited, and I could tell my cat was relaxed and enjoying her company! 100% recommend booking Angela!!”
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”
“Absolutely amazing! Alli is the ONLY rover we will book with, we’ve been having her hang out with our fur baby for years. Our girl absolutely adores her & she is so good with her & an extremely kind human. Perfect for overnight visits & drop-ins alike. If you want your fur babe to be loved like you love them - book with Alli!”
“Tifany was punctual, friendly and thorough. I truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail while caring for my four cats. I received regular updates and great pics.”

“I have had Bailey stay with Tifany and her family a couple of times, and each time she has ensured that Bailey felt right at home with her other pups! Tifany makes sure her home is clean and dog friendly. Tifany has an outdoor area also ready for the dogs to play and have fun. If they get dirty, Tifany washes them so they come home clean as well as exhausted. She communicates regularly throughout your dog’s stay with pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Tifany and her husband!”
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
“Janelle was super responsive and accommodating. I was driving from Georgia to get something’s done in Ocala. Unfortunately, I was unable to leave our two pups at home. She was willing to take them in with less than 24 hours notice. Every message was responded to within a couple of minutes, if not seconds!”
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would always help take care of my animals with my mother. I used to live on a farm and I have had experience with many different pets/animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and small animals. I also have experience with bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and expressing anal glands. I can also administer medications. This is my full time job so I can do my very best to accommodate anyone who needs a pet sitter who truly cares about their pets. My wife and daughters help me sometimes as well. Our daughters are also knowledgeable in pet care from getting hands on experience through me. My wife just come with me every where I stay for Moral support. 💕 I have a fully privacy fenced in yard. If the pet is in a home without fence I will be sure to leash walk your pet for safety reasons. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate feel free to bring it. Also if there is a special toy, bed or something they enjoy or prefer they can bring it along for their stay.

“Gage and Annie did an awesome job taking care of our two pups! They provided updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Dolly loves going to Brianna's house. She always looks forward to playing with the other dogs who live there, as well as other house guests. She comes back happy and content. Dolly and I both love Brianna and Nancy!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.
About: I have adored dogs since I was a little girl and truly believe they have the purest hearts of any creature on earth. Growing up, I was surrounded by four dogs of all different sizes, which taught me early on how to care for a pack and appreciate every unique personality. I don't discriminate when it comes to breeds. To me, a dog's genuine, nonjudgmental, and loving nature is what matters most. My empathy for animals runs deep, and my goal is to give every pup the love they deserve. I currently have a sweet Corgi (a wonderful gift from my daughter!), but my heart has always been dedicated to shelter pups and making sure every dog feels safe and understood. I bring endless patience, empathy, and a lifetime of hands on experience to every dog I welcome into my home. Because I am fully retired, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to what truly makes me happy: spending my days with dogs! Pet care isn't just something I fit into my day; it is my day. Your pet will rarely be left alone. Whether it's morning cuddles, afternoon play sessions in the background, keeping me company while I cook, or just relaxing together in our home, I am home full-time to provide constant companionship, supervision, and all the undivided attention they could ever want. I’ve set up my home to be as safe and comfortable for dogs as possible. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Inside, it’s cozy, completely dog friendly, and a child free environment. I really just want your dog to feel like they are relaxing in their own home. Your pup will also have my friendly resident Corgi to keep them company. To make sure the dogs don't overheat during the hot afternoons, my husband and I take them out for walks in the evening once it has cooled down. We live right next to a trailhead that is perfect for these evening strolls. I am always patient with new arrivals and will pay close attention to their behavior, adapting to whatever they need so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved the moment they arrive.
“Amazing person, communication, easy to get along, understanding, patient, my baby was happy because she have 2 other babies so he was able to have play time, she send video and pictures all the time , I had to extend my stay to 2 other days and she was happy to accommodate me, another thing I love I can tell she take care of him, he come back the way he was drop off, smelling good, no poop under his feet or smell like he was rolling in pee. He is not a cage dog I will recommend her 100% and rebook all the time”

About: I have always had animals in my life my entire life. My first job was at a dog kennel as a kennel attendant. My family has even fostered animals and helped them find their forever homes. I currently work for the Humane Society. I am currently a part time college student, but I will have plenty of time with your fur babies. Willing to make yours and my schedule work. At the moment I am not accepting animals at my home, but I am willing to go to client's homes to care for their fur babies. Anywhere from letting them outside to play and go for walks to making sure they have food, water, and a clean bed to relax in.
About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little . I’ve always had a passion for animals that I currently work at veterinary office as a vet technician with 3 year experience. I have experience with special needs and giving medications as well. I work currently at a vet office as a veterinary technician full time . I can definitely do late afternoons and also during the weekends. I have a passion to care for animals. I have two cats and one dog.

About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
About: I understand that pets are part of the family, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’m dependable, attentive to instructions, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, or simply giving them plenty of company and affection. As a mom and pet owner, I’m used to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the little details. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pet. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions and routines, keep pets supervised, and provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure.

About: Since I was a child, I have always had pets in my house; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, etc. I have experience in basic training, working with senior dogs, medicating dogs, puppies (both caring for and potty training), and body language in dogs. I know much about mannerisms and behavior in dogs as well as how to combat the bad ones. I have worked with all types of dogs, as I have worked in the pet food industry before. I have volunteered with multiple dog rescues in Florida including The Animal League and Hound Haven. I am a certified Canine Training & Behavior Specialist as of 2021. I am currently half way through a pet nutrition course as of 2022. I currently have a business from my home. If I have any markets, I would have to leave during the day for about 4-6 hours to handle that and possibly longer hours due to markets themselves. I have recently moved to a 3 acre plot, in which we are currently building a doggy haven with tons of fenced in running area and in the future pools and play equipment. If a VIP (very important pet) doesn't have access to a backyard I like to walk 3+ times daily depending on the dog. I feed my dogs twice a day on the best food I make myself. I have literal baskets of dog toys as well as safe chews for the dogs who like to chew. I'd rather not take dogs to a dog park as of the safety issue. I have two horses and 18 chickens that roam on my 3 acres and can take dogs as long as they are on leash to meet them. I live with a roommate who also helps take care of any pets in the house. I have five pets in the house; my pigeon, Sterling who 'rules the roost'; my two ferrets, Dobby & Dougal who love to play; my large (75lbs) dog, Blake who is excited at first then is calm; and my medium (30lbs) dog Akira who is most playful of the bunch. I watch all interactions with my pets and do have 'safety' crates for my pets if any issues of socialization.
“Sarah was amazing with my dog while I was away for a few days. She was extremely prompt on her timing and gave detailed reports on how my dog was doing after every visit. Sarah went above and beyond to go through all the details of feeding/schedule and my dogs likes and dislikes. I was at ease immediately after meeting Sarah at the meet and greet. I would 100% use Sarah again in the future!”
“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”
“Ona has been wonderful. I needed to find someone to help my father with his dog because of some health issues and she has been simply GREAT!! Her communication and reliability has been outstanding - especially because I’ve set this up from Colorado. It offers us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone to help walk Jax while my father recovers.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.
“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”

Her home was safe and she had plenty for him to play with, a large fenced in yard, etc. My dog had so much fun and got so much love. I would absolutely recommend Krista to anyone in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely have her watch my dog again in the future. So grateful for her help and kindness, she clearly loves what she does and it shows.”
“Teddy and Gina enjoyed their stay with Rebecca. During their visit, Rebecca sent pictures of Teddy and Gina playing and snuggling. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and was responsive to all our questions. This was a great first experience.”
“Both of our dogs were happy and well cared for. Daisy needed eye drops twice a day and Taylor took care of that too. We would definitely recommend Taylor for your dog sitting needs. 🙂🫠😇”
“Tifany was incredible with our puppy! Only 2 months old and we had a last minute trip come up, she taught him new commands, took such great care of him and he was so excited to be there. We got pics and videos every day of him having fun and being loved. Already booked for future events when we are in need of a sitter. She also has a doggy hang out bus in her backyard which is so cool! Highly recommend!”
“Andi was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Rico. We have not had him very long and we were filled with nerves leaving him so early. Andi updated us regularly and completely eased our minds. She took fabulous care of him and we look forward to her watching him again.”
“Super sweet, lots of communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my baby. I got picture mail throughout, and could tell she and her family genuinely love and care about animals. Will definitely be using again!”
“I highly recommend Lorraine! Having our pet stay in her home made such a difference—it gave them a comfortable, stress-free environment while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which really helped us relax knowing he was happy and in great hands.If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly passionate about animals, she is the one. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I had a medical emergency and was recently hospitalized. I called Taylor & Angel to watch my little girl Cinnamon for 3 days and they not only did they drop everything and agree to take her but they drove over to my house, collect her dog food and get her out of her crate and take her back to their farm. You guys are the best!”
“Murphy loves coming to stay with Shayla. She eliminates all of our worries about leaving him. Shayla sends pictures and gives our dog love and attention. Would recommend her to everyone.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Katherine took care of Buster while I was out of town. Buster suffers from bad anxiety and does not travel well. Katherine’s care allowed Buster to remain in a familiar environment and familiar faces. I could tell he was sad to see her go. I will definitely reach out to Katherine in the future to care for Buster.”
“Andrea is great to work with and provides the perfect place for my energetic Catahoulas. I was happy they had other friends to play with and had many squirrels and lizards to chase. They were completely worn out after their 2 night stay! I’d recommend Andrea to anyone! Thank you for everything!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“Bridgie and Charly had a Great stay for 7 days with Jerarlin and her pups. Charly developed an ear infection and I was able to send meds quickly via Amazon. Jerarlin administered drops and wipes daily and he felt better quickly. My pips love hanging out in the large, fenced in yard. Thanks!”
