“I can’t say enough about Brooke tacking care of my cat Sol. Brooke returned texts promptly, sent pictures, and kept me updated on my cat who had never been around other cats. I found the perfect sitter and will reach out to Brooke for future sitting! Sol has always been stressed out on her return home when we went away. This time she seemed relaxed and well taken care of. I’m relieved to have found someone I can count one when I have to travel! Thanks Brooke! Can’t thank you enough!”
“First stay for my 2 pitbull mixes to stay with Linda for 5 nights and they seemed very happy. I had accidentally messed up the dates but Linda was able to accommodate me on short notice. She was quick to respond whenever I asked for updates and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my two dogs with her. Will definitely book again.”
“Best dog sitter we have ever had. She went above and beyond. She was able to take our dogs last minute. Her whole family is truly so kind. We would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“Due to an unfortunate circumstance, we had to book Ivanka for boarding within 30 minutes of us leaving! She was very accommodating and communicated while we were gone. Pictures everyday.”
“I found Paul almost at the last moment…my regular cat sitter wasn’t available but Paul was interested in watching my cat, though he usually watches dogs. It was a short visit but it turned out well for both him and my cat. I would highly recommend Paul for both cats and dogs due to his calm and friendly demeanor.”
“Bryan has watched our cat and dog a few times and is always great! He keeps us updated with pictures and lets us know if there is ever anything going on with our pets. Our pets feel at home with Bryan and we recommend him highly:)”
“Kelsey was great at keeping in touch and making sure I had a peace of mind leaving my little guy. She sent pics very often which makes a mom feel so much better knowing he was having fun! Beans is very high energy and she was so accommodating, I could tell he loved running around her yard and playing with her pups. Will be booking again in the future!”
“Absolutely amazing! My two girls didn’t want to leave!!! If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your babies as if they are her own you’ve come to the right person!!!”
“Went on a overnight mini getaway and he watched our baby last minute. He was a great sitter and let us enjoy our night out. Thank u again. I would recommend and use him again if I'm in the area”
“My dog had a great time with Melanie & Troy! They watched him for 2 weeks and sent lots of photos. I could tell he was well-loved by their family. We will be booking again in the future!”
“We loved Martha! She was so sweet with our little one. Spoiled her rotten and we very much appreciate her for that💕💜 would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Leo and Sarahi were absolutely fantastic! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Gina is the BEST!! We always get so nervous leaving our dogs with new people, and from the very first conversation, Gina set our nerves to rest. She asked a lot of very helpful questions to be clear on our needs, and her communication was great – always very quick to respond and clear. When we were on our trip, she consistently sent us detailed updates and pictures, and we could tell that our dogs were very loved while we were away. I highly recommend Gina!”
“This is third time that Zoey is cared for by Denys. When Zoey got out of the car and saw Denys, she began to wag her tail. She was so happy to see Denys. She went with her and did not look back. We are very pleased.”
“She was great. She send us pictures everyday and keep us updated during Luz's stay. She make us feel good, took our worries away and make us feel at ease. This was the first time leaving our baby with someone else that is not family. We will definitely book again with her. 100% satisfied.”
“Chayla has been keeping both my cat and dog for past few weeks and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during my time of need! Thank you again girl!!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to pets. I’ve spent years dog and cat sitting for family, friends, and people from my church while they travel so I’ve basically already been doing this, just without the app. Boarding is where I’m strongest. Whatever you’re away for a weekend trip, a long workweek, a stretch out of town your pet gets a quiet, pet free home and someone who’s actually paying attention to them, not just checking a box. It’s just me and my roommate here, no kids, no chaos, no other pets running around unless we’re talking about yours LOL. But if boarding isn’t what you need, I also do drop in visits and walks. A midday or evening walk for your dog, or a quick morning/night stop to feed and check on your cat while you’re out. My schedule’s flexible (I work fulltime but it’s not a rigid 9-5), so I can usually make mornings, evenings, weekends, whenever your pet needs me. I’m not the type to drop them off with food and a bowl and disappear for the day. I want to actually know their personality by the time you pick them up. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of pretty much every age and energy level, from the zoomies at 6am crowd to older pets who just want someone patient around and a quiet spot to nap. Routines matter to me too if your pet eats at a certain time, walks a certain route, or has a little quirk, I want to know about it and stick to it. I’ll keep you in the loop while I’m with them. Feeding on schedule, medication if they need it, litter box scooped, fresh water, the whole routine handled the way you’d do it yourself. Photo updates too, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Can’t wait to meet you both and hear what your pet’s routine looks like. My schedule is flexible, so I’m available mornings, evenings, weekends, and throughout the week as needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m stopping by yours, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I provide a calm, pet free home for boarding and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care. I also send photo updates throughout their stay because I’d want the same thing if it were my pet. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands

“David was very professional and patient with our kitties. He did everything he was asked and more. Communication was great and we loved the summaries he left after each visit. We will be booking with David again.”
“Rebecca was great! My cat is super shy, but Rebecca was always able to find her for a picture and an update. She was able to help when Tahiti’s automatic feeder went offline, which went above and beyond the normal cat care stuff. She even came over to drop the key off once I got back into town. Will be booking with Rebecca again!”
“Brooke watched Glenn for several days for us with daily drop ins. She sent a ton of pictures and spent extra time with Glennie cuddling and playing with him while we were gone. She was available for a pre booking visit as well to make sure she would be a good fit, she’s our new go to cat sitter!”
“Good communication and I got lots of updates it was a long stay so I wasn’t sure if my cat would be comfortable away from home for long but my cat loved her 10/10 for me would book again.”
“Cali was so great with Stevie and Louise! I felt at peace knowing that she would be going in to check in on them while I was away. My cats can be a bit fussy but seemed to warm up to her nicely! Thank you, Cali.”
“Janniqua and Steven were quick to respond to my short notice request to pet sit for my cat. They were very communicative and took great care of my cat and home!”
“I contacted Jonathan last minute as I had a family emergency, I needed to fly out of state for. I had never used a pet sitter before and wasn't sure what to expect. Jonathan did a great job in communicating with me and sending pictures at each visit. I would definitely use Rover and Jonathan again as he did a top-notch service. Thanks again Jonathan for helping out in a last-minute situation.”
“Luisa is an excellent caregiver for all of my pets! She goes above and beyond in her communication and I always have peace of mind knowing she’s looking after my babies. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Carolina was amazing! Great communication and fun photos of our cat while we were away! It was so nice to have someone with so much pet care experience! She offered helpful tips and guided me through my first Rover experience. We will definitely utilize her again!! ?”
“Melissa did a great job with my Sasha & left my home in mint condition. Care instructions were followed to the letter, took lots of photos & left notes on how Sasha was doing. At one point when I checked in on them, I saw Melissa was wiping Sasha‘s eye boogies🥹 I have another trip towards the end of the year, I know exactly who I’ll be booking with. Thanks Melissa! 💐”
“Marie is the best of the best!!! I left my baby with her to attend my dad funeral and I felt so happy knowing he's safe with her. She sent me pictures, videos and kept me updated the entire time. She's is so kind hearted. I love her!!! If I'm ever in the area again and need a sitter I won't think twice about who I'm booking. Thank you Marie!!”
“Kaia was professional and a gentle, kind presence for my cat while I was away. LOVED her drop in visits and photos she sent; will definitely rebook in the future. THANK YOU!!!!”

“Erica always does a wonderful job looking after our cats, but this time she went above and beyond helping with unexpected items like urgent UPS deliveries and malfunctioning batteries in our fire alarm. We are so thankful for how helpful she is, and how she communicates so well!”

“The Best Dog Sitter I Could Ask For! I couldn’t be happier with Kimberly! She's been watching my baby boy every week, and her care and compassion toward him warms my heart. From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals and enjoys making them feel comfortable and happy. Each week, she goes above and beyond, ensuring Cooper gets oodles of attention. The cute photos she sends and text updates alway shows me he being so well cared for. She even brushes him when he visits, LOL! I love how quickly she responds when we communicate and how kind she is to me every time we interact. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, dependable, and loves dogs as much as you do, look no further than Kimberly. We’re so grateful to have found her!”
“This was our first time leaving chandler with someone that wasn’t family and I’m very happy with the experience! Kelsey was very responsive and texted us photos throughout the day!”
“Janniqua was great! She was able to accommodate last minute with no problem! Our Percy had a great time with her! Will definitely recommend to anyone.”
About: I've been pet-sitting for friends, family, and referrals for the past 10 years. Yorkies, Doodles, Dachshunds, and other mixed breed dogs, cats, and birds. I love caring for pets, especially cats and dogs and keeping them on their routines, feeling safe and loved while their owners are away. I've cared for senior dogs and have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs for their walks ...I personally walk 3+ miles every day and will gladly sit for dogs who love a good, long walk. I typically do overnight stays from 2 nights to 6 weeks. I am now accepting dogs, one at a time, for day sits in my home. I have a big fenced in yard and currently no pets. As a writer and yoga teacher I work from home and have lots of time to play with, walk and provide lots of loving attention to your pets. I do not currently have a pet. I used to have cats and I love all pets. I have a fenced in back yard. I typically pet sit in the pet's home when owners travel and am now offering daycare for one dog at a time in my home. I love to send pictures of the pets to their owners to let them know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Linwood went above and beyond in taking care of my miniature schnauzer. I was sent updates with photos throughout my trip. Couldn’t have asked for more. Dropoff and pickup were quick and smooth. I highly recommend.”
About: I've taken car of dogs my whole life! We have always had at least one dog in our house. Growing up my family was a very dog oriented house we had rat terriers, shih tuzs, schaunzer, golden retriever. Right now my family back at home has a couple of dogs from the shelter a beagle named Nikki, a yorkie/jack Russell mix named Bob and a cute one eyed shih tzu named Dee. Ever since I was old enough I was the one who trained our dogs. I taught them how to be potty trained, how to stay in the yard, as well as cute tricks. Bob is the best at this he even can play dead dramatically by walking around and rolling onto his belly after some dramatics. Since my family has always had shelter dogs we have had puppies all the way to mature dogs. I have learned through experience how to deal with many different types of dogs who have had many different personalities. I also had experience of giving our different dogs different medications on schedule. I miss my dogs at home and can't wait to give your pup lots of love and attention! I work from home part time and am a gig worker. I am home a majority of the time besides a little bit of errand running and when I have gigs. I'm pretty flexible and have lots of free time for walks, belly rubs, playtime and anything else your pup wants. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom luxury apartment that has a special pet area on site. I moved down to Florida six years ago and my dogs stayed with my family and I miss them a ton. This has been the first time in my life that I haven't had a dog, I was in college and didn't have the proper amount of time to devote to one. Now I'm graduated and work mainly from home so I have lots of time and love to give to your special pet.
“Took such great care of little Miss Fancy Pants that the next time I dropped her off she ran up and jumped on him (and dobermans are very selective in who they like).”
About: Beginning in childhood, I’ve had several dog breeds (over 20!) that I’ve been tasked to take care of, play with, keep healthy and whose needs I’ve grown to pay attention to and understand. I adore animals and I approach them gently and mindfully, always considering what support will help prolong their lifespan and keep them happy, yet trained and behaved. My friends and family often call on me to either keep their pets company, train or housesit them, and I’m always more than happy to spend time with their animals. I firmly believe pets are not toys, and much more like our own kids, deserving of care, compassion, joy and attention. I have 17+ years experience taking care of and loving French bulldogs and pugs, who notoriously require extra responsibility, attention and instruction, as they can be stubborn and prone to health and breathing issues (often brought on by heat). I have cared for senior dogs who deserve nothing but love towards the end of their lives, and also puppies who need time spent on training and feeling safe, and lots of play and activity to stimulate their growing minds. I am a graduate student, with flexible availability between Saturday to Tuesday, during my off days, when I’ll be studying from home, often lounging and relaxing in my space. Having a pet to look after, feed and care for would not only be a very welcomed time commitment, but would make my space feel even more homely and bring me joy. I have enough time to play with dogs, pay attention to their unique needs and keep them active and joyful, or to simply accompany them while they rest and rejuvenate. I have a spacious apartment and a shaded dog park within my apartment community, as well as a dog wash corner next to the park - helpful during hot days in Florida. I am extremely mindful towards any pet staying with me, and provide them with a comfortable, safe and cooled space, in which I am committed to staying aware of their habits, likes and dislikes, and learning to understand their groove. There are several areas for them to use the bathroom outside, take a walk within the apartment community, as well as designated pee pads inside the apartment. I am happy to be in touch with the clients as often as needed, to help them feel at ease about letting their little one stay with someone new. I care about building trust with a dog, and taking the time to grow our bond, so they can be at ease in their surroundings and reduce any anxiety from a new environment.
About: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover — I’ve grown up with dogs for my whole life. I treat every dog like my own. walks, cuddles, and lots of playtime! My daily routine already includes lots of pet time! I work from home, so it’s easy for me to give attention, walks, and love throughout the day. Having furry friends around just makes everything better I have a sweet dog at home, so your pup will have a little friend to hang out with! I make sure they feel comfy, get walks, playtime, and lots of love — just like they’re part of the family.
About: I've always been the one to take care of family and friends pets and when rover came around it was a great way to get to know many different pups I work from home so it makes it easier to be with them and care for them the right way. Walks and feeding and playing I live in a closed community and so they are safe to walk . Also have a fenced in dog park so they can play
“Leda was so kind and loving with my Beau! I didn’t worry about him at all while we were at Disney all day. She sent updates and photos. Wonderful experience!”
“Thank you for everything you did and your help for us out of town out of state! Max had a great time and if and when we come back down I’ll reach out again, very welcoming and knowledgeable with the area and flexible with our unexpected issues (losing a phone) she is someone you can trust with your care! Love love the card and pictures ❤️”

“Lesia is simply awesome, and she was just that with my fur babies. My Benson and Bella were comfortable with her. I appreciate her professional demeanor and her detailed reporting of all that took place during the stay at doggy day care. I look forward to working with Lesia again!”
About: Pet parents love leaving their dogs in my care because they know they don’t have to worry. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, send regular updates with quality photos, and provide a cozy home sanctuary where your pup will be loved and cared for like my own. I’m an artist working out of my home studio, allowing plenty of flexibility throughout the week to offer hands-on care. I’m also available most weekends for boarding.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.
“Was so happy to have found Dwight as I needed a last minute walker! He communicated throughout out the entire process and sent cute photos. Definitely will rebook and would recommend him!”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs over the past 5 years and have my own cats who just turned 2 this year. For cat check-ins, I can bring my own cat toys to help get your cat some activity while staying in the home. I’m 6’9” and can handle walking big dogs as well! I currently work from home with limited meetings, so pet care can be a priority during the typical work day! I’m generally available any weekday until 6pm! I can help get that needed energy out of your cat or dog! I love to play, walk, and generally spend time with animals. I’ve rarely if ever met a cat or dog that didn’t warm up to me, and I want to build trust with you AND your animal.
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
About: I have taken care of every kind of dog from Big to small and also have lots of experience taking care of family, friends, neighbors pets to friends of family members pets. I have plenty of time to walk your dogs or go into your home to feed them and give them water and play with them. I have carpet and wood floors in my home and when I go into a clients house I will give the pets attention first and then let them outside or take them outside before playing with the pet and then give your animal lots of attention and then before leaving take them outside again.
“Danielle did great with taking care of my two dogs and cat while we were away. She went above and beyond with her communication, sending pics and taking her time walking and feeding the pets. She even helped clean up with one of my dogs who had a poopy situation which was not at all expected, I felt bad my dog got runs while I was away. But she helped give him sweet potato so he felt better and even bought peewee pads, which just kept my mind at ease knowing my dog was being cared for. I would definitely rehire her again, she was just the best!”

I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and always be watching them with my full attention!
About: Hi! My name is Janniqua, but I prefer to be called Jay. Here are some quick details: - Unlimited access to a large fenced yard - No children - Non-smoking home - 25 mins from MCO, 30 mins from Disney, & 20 minutes from Universal Studios - We have 1 extremely sweet dog who loves ALL animals and people - We board multiple stays at once - Limit is 4 animals. **Because we book multiple stays at once, we only accept potty-trained dogs who are 3+ y/o and play well with other animals (i.e., not aggressive towards others or item/food possessive). We also accept all cats. My husband, Steve, and I are full-time, work-from-home employees who love caring for four-legged cuties! Since joining Rover in 2018, we’ve cared for over 200 dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, temperaments, abilities, etc. We always make sure to treat your loved one(s) with the utmost care and tire them out with fetching fun! We accommodate pets who need a little extra loving (elderly, disabled, etc.). We're extremely flexible. Just let us know your expectations of care and we will be sure to follow them. We accommodate any drop-off time before 6p and you must pick up before 9p or you will be asked to book another night. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you! P.S. - If you’re new to Rover and end up booking with us, you can use my promo code JANNID57368 for $20 off your stay Because we both work from home and are natural home bodies, our lives are flexible enough to follow whatever schedule our four legged guest(s) need. Just let us know! We have a large backyard that is surrounded by a wooden fence. Our yard and home have been described as an “at home doggy park” because pups are known to come and have a blast playing with their new doggy friends.
“Karyna has been great. Gracie loves her time playing out in the yard with Karyna. She has been communicative and flexible. It’s been great to her her helping me with Gracie while I am at work.”
“Anyone would be lucky to have her as there walker! She is always prompt and really cares for my dog. She was able to help me out several times on nonscheduled days! We are moving out of her range. We will miss her”

“I found Paul almost at the last moment…my regular cat sitter wasn’t available but Paul was interested in watching my cat, though he usually watches dogs. It was a short visit but it turned out well for both him and my cat. I would highly recommend Paul for both cats and dogs due to his calm and friendly demeanor.”
“Absolutely amazing! My two girls didn’t want to leave!!! If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your babies as if they are her own you’ve come to the right person!!!”
“Went on a overnight mini getaway and he watched our baby last minute. He was a great sitter and let us enjoy our night out. Thank u again. I would recommend and use him again if I'm in the area”
“Amber took great care of my Lala. You can definitely tell she was taken care of with great care and she provided communication through out the stay plus great quality pictures. I will definitely recommend and have her take care of my baby anytime.”
“She was great. She send us pictures everyday and keep us updated during Luz's stay. She make us feel good, took our worries away and make us feel at ease. This was the first time leaving our baby with someone else that is not family. We will definitely book again with her. 100% satisfied.”
“Chayla has been keeping both my cat and dog for past few weeks and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during my time of need! Thank you again girl!!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to pets. I’ve spent years dog and cat sitting for family, friends, and people from my church while they travel so I’ve basically already been doing this, just without the app. Boarding is where I’m strongest. Whatever you’re away for a weekend trip, a long workweek, a stretch out of town your pet gets a quiet, pet free home and someone who’s actually paying attention to them, not just checking a box. It’s just me and my roommate here, no kids, no chaos, no other pets running around unless we’re talking about yours LOL. But if boarding isn’t what you need, I also do drop in visits and walks. A midday or evening walk for your dog, or a quick morning/night stop to feed and check on your cat while you’re out. My schedule’s flexible (I work fulltime but it’s not a rigid 9-5), so I can usually make mornings, evenings, weekends, whenever your pet needs me. I’m not the type to drop them off with food and a bowl and disappear for the day. I want to actually know their personality by the time you pick them up. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of pretty much every age and energy level, from the zoomies at 6am crowd to older pets who just want someone patient around and a quiet spot to nap. Routines matter to me too if your pet eats at a certain time, walks a certain route, or has a little quirk, I want to know about it and stick to it. I’ll keep you in the loop while I’m with them. Feeding on schedule, medication if they need it, litter box scooped, fresh water, the whole routine handled the way you’d do it yourself. Photo updates too, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Can’t wait to meet you both and hear what your pet’s routine looks like. My schedule is flexible, so I’m available mornings, evenings, weekends, and throughout the week as needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m stopping by yours, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I provide a calm, pet free home for boarding and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care. I also send photo updates throughout their stay because I’d want the same thing if it were my pet. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands
“"I recently boarded my dog at Kallee and Daniel twice, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kallee was very warm and welcoming at our first Meet & Greet and took the time to get to know my dog. During our two boarding occasions, she provided daily updates and shared photos multiple times a day, which eased my mind while I was away. My dog came home happy with no signs of anxiety. I appreciate Kallee to provide loving environment and accommodate our request to pickup and drop off time change at the last minute. I highly recommend Kallee and Daniel to any pet parent☺️”
“Leonardo was great with my boy Bleu. He communicated well and was punctual. He sent me videos throughout the stay which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely book with him again.”
“Veronica was AMAZING with my two dogs when I needed to board them for a few days. She communicated every day with feedback regarding their overall well being, playtime, eating habits, and mood. And she included pictures as well. She treated my dogs like family and gave them a lot of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Rachel is so kind and was great for our little guy, Moose! We have never used Rover for overnights but she was great, sent us photos for updates throughout the trip. Really happy we found her!”
“Kristie is one of a kind. She will love and protect your pet like it's her own. She sends pics and updates daily to alleviate any concerns or just to relieve the stress of being away from our little fur balls! Thanks Kristie!”
“Linwood did an amazing job with sitting my pup. He kept a great line of communication, pictures and videos during his stay. Greatly appreciate the accommodations he made for my changes with my trip. I will for sure be using him on my future plans. Thanks again”
“Leda was great! She is very sweet and clearly is all about doing what is best for the dogs. She stayed in communication and has a great space where our husky was very comfortable! We would use Leda again”
