“Lindsey was so wonderful with my babyboy. Kept in touch with messages, pictures, and videos. I swear my lil man had the biggest smile. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone. I know I will a repeat client.”
“My fiancé and I have been agonizing over who will watch our little Samson while we are away for our wedding in May, then came David and Vicki! To say this is the best experience I’ve ever had with a sitter on Rover is an understatement. Not only were they very welcoming and loving to Samson, but they also did a fantastic job of keeping him safe and comfortable. As a bonus, they sent us the cutest pictures of him throughout his stay and sent us home with the best goodie bag that was personalized to our pup. In a world where the small things are no longer as common, David and Vicki go above and beyond. Thank you! We will be back.”
“Anne did a great job of taking care of my 14 y/o baby. Messaged me at least daily to let me know how he was doing. Appreciate that she was willing to take him on being that he is larger than she normally accepts. Thanks Anne😊”
“"We had a fantastic experience with Jeff and Janel and would absolutely book with them again! Since it was our first time leaving Rosco, we were naturally a bit nervous, but Jeff and Janel made the process so much easier. We started with a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit, which really put our minds at ease. Throughout our trip, they kept us consistently informed with photos and videos of Rosco, which we loved seeing. They were also incredibly accommodating regarding Rosco’s specific dietary needs. They were proactive in asking for detailed instructions to ensure they followed his routine perfectly. It’s always difficult to leave your pup behind, but the constant updates and their friendly, attentive care made us feel completely comfortable. Highly recommended!"”
“We have been using Laura for years to watch our pup. She is the best and is always very nice to us and our pup! She updates us frequently with pictures and we will definitely continue to always book with Laura in the future.”
About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration
“Clary was AMAZING. I had to find a place for our dog over Christmas break last minute. She made our dog feel so welcomed and sent photos and videos every day. Our dog looked so happy. Thank you, Clary!”
“Dona did a great job looking after our dog Willy. He isn't an easy dog to watch over. He is disabled and in a wheelchair. Dona went the extra mile to ensure that Willy was comfortable and cared for. She stayed in touch with us throughout the time she watched him. I definitely recommend her for watching your dog. Thank you so much Dona.”
“I would definitely recommend Kala to watch your fur babies! She’s so nice and sends you pictures each day! She will definitely spoil them! Great communication and overall amazing experience!!”
“Jean and AL watched our Ophelia, and she had a wonderful time. She felt right at home with them and their pups, she loved playing with them and snuggles on the couch. I am so grateful for them and for their wonderful care for our girl. We would highly recommend them to anyone. They kept us updated throughout the day with how she was doing and even sent us pictures of her, it truly helped because we missed her dearly. Ophelia can't wait for her next stay with them, I just know it 🩷 she adores them💕”
“Max was extremely happy to stay again with Katherine. He is so well taken care of and looked really happy in all the pictures she sent me. I am very happy i found a sitter close by and will use them again.”
“Bodie loved staying with Christine! It was first class treatment all the way, with walks, play sessions with her Frenchie Kai, snuggle time, and dog TV. And I really loved how careful she is with safety (Bodie is a dasher) and the photo updates she sent. He will be back soon!”
“Chandler was fantastic the entire stay for my pups! Sent pictures & video updates during their stay and was so communicative. Rebooked with him the same day I picked them up!”
“My Gatsby had such a wonderful time playing with Ally and her dogs. Ally went above and beyond for Gatsby, as he came down with an upset stomach right before he was supposed to stay with her. Ally administered his medication and gave me updates about how he was feeling. She also sent many pictures and videos. I will definitely request a stay with Ally again!”
“Stephanie’s the best! My dog Oki is old and he hasn’t been with anyone else but me. He had a little bit of separation anxiety and Stephanie made him feel loved and cared for. She was patient with him and Oki finally felt safe in someone else’s care. We definitely would go back to her in a heartbeat.”
“Joanna did an awesome job making us feel comfortable with leaving our pup with her. He is an older dog that still acts like he is in his prime, but from the first meet and greet I could tell that this was not her first time handling big dogs. We have used Rover a few times but this is by far the most comfortable we have felt. We will definitely book Joanna in the future!”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of Bonnie and Lucy from Sunday morning through Wednesday afternoon. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and it was a big plus that her two dogs got along and played nicely with ours, which helped keep them active and happy. Communication was good overall, and she was responsive when needed. The dogs came home healthy and in good spirits, and we appreciated her care while we were away. We’d be comfortable using Jenna again and appreciate her help.”
“Cassie did such a great job taking care of our two pups over the weekend, she has a large backyard with shades, and shared a lot of picture of them playing with her dogs. Her own dogs are super friendly and were very playful. I am so grateful Cassie accepted our dog boarding request at the last minute, she was a lifesaver I would definitely be using her services again.”
“We LOVE Tracee, she took such wonderful care of Sage🥰. He enjoyed every minute, the walks, toys and lots love from Tracee. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again. Sage was also very clean when I picked him up🤗”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was younger. We've had quite a few different types of animals from bunnies and hamsters to cats and dogs. It fits easily into my routine because I'm home all the time. I don't go anywhere really and I have plenty of free time to spare. I have a fenced in back yard, I have a big house with plenty of room for them, and I have a few other animals that are friendly.

My dog is a member of my family and I would trust Joanna with her in any and every situation. 100/10 recommend”
“Kristie is an incredible dog sitter. Without a doubt, we will be having her watch our pup again. Not only was she an excellent communicator, she obviously loves animals and took great care of our dog. She even made a special treat for our doggo, could she be more thoughtful??”
“Mai is an absolutely gem🙂 This was my first time using a pet sitter and she made the experience for both my pup and I nothing short of amazing! Right from the start my pup was calm and accepting with her and he is usually pretty vocal and active when first meeting new people. She was welcoming, reassuring and understanding all while showing lots of TLC. I really loved getting the pictures. They made me feel happy and comforted know he was adjusting well and enjoying himself. If you want someone who will care for your fur babies as you care for your fur babies Mai is the best!

About: I have had pets almost my entire life from dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have not had reptiles of my own but like them too. Animals are a life commitment and I have seen many throughout their entire life including senior and end of life care. I genuinely love animals. They are part of our family. Yours will be cared for as if they are a member of my family. Currently, Maverick, a black lab is my soulmate. He is well-trained, intelligent, full of joy and great with other dogs. His favorite pastime is playing ball or just running around the yard with a ball in his mouth. He enjoys going for rides and adventures such as going to the park or beach. He loves to swim and play in the water. I am retired and available anytime, night or day. I am also on call for emergency situations as well, allowing same day bookings. I truly understand the importance of taking care of our special family members and there are times when circumstances are beyond our control. I am not available for boarding or house sitting because I have Maverick. If you are looking for boarding or overnight care, please consider scheduling multiple drop-in visits for times that fit their routine or we can discuss other alternatives to ensure your babies needs are met. My home is obviously dog friendly and the yard is secure. Maverick is mostly indoors due to the heat. Car rides, adventures, walks, indoor a s outdoor playtime, along with water activities are incorporated. Maverick is not a cuddle bug but he does like to relax with me on the couch.
About: Welcome to a place where your dog is more than a guest—they’re family and part of the Wolfpack 🐾. With a background as a Veterinary Technician, I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience to my pet-sitting services, ensuring your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness. My daily work with animals taught me not only to care for them when they’re healthy but also to recognize and meet their unique needs, whether they’re young pups or seasoned companions. Here, your dog joins our Wolfpack alongside Penny and Mayla, who love meeting new friends. Our fenced-in backyard offers plenty of room for play, and we’ll make sure they’re part of our adventures, whether it’s hiking trails, trips to the beach, or relaxing days at the dog park. Each stay is filled with family-style love and plenty of activity to keep them engaged and happy. Drop-off and pick-up times are flexible, with morning drop-off starting at 8 a.m. and evening options after 6 p.m. Stays are offered in 24-hour periods, and if you need an extended stay or later pickup, we can make it work with additional daycare options. When your dog stays with us, they’re part of the pack—safe, happy, and treated with the same love and care as my own Pet care is simply part of our everyday life here! Working from home lets us stay close to the pack all day, giving every furry guest the comfort and attention they need. We’re out in our fenced backyard for playtime multiple times a day, and we love heading out for hikes, extended walks, or a visit to the dog park when it’s safe. Every pet in our care gets plenty of love, play, and companionship, just like our own dogs. Your pet’s safety and happiness mean the world to us, and we make sure they’re in a safe, warm, and loving environment. Proof of up-to-date vaccines is required before any stay, and we skip the dog park during times of community health risks. With us, your pet will have freedom to roam in a homey, family-like setting. If they’re used to a crate, we can accommodate that too. Penny and Mayla love having new friends join the pack, and we’re here to keep an eye on everyone’s wellbeing and fun throughout the day.
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and first time with River. She made the experience exceptionally pleasing. She’s a gem.”
“Sawyer had a great time with Shauna-Maria! We contacted her last minute and she was accommodating. She sent lots of pictures and a video while he was with her which I really appreciate. He got to go to the dog park and hang out outside and she seemed very caring towards him. Thank you so much for taking good care of Sawyer!”
About: I have over eight years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I worked in multiple professional pet care environments, where I would handle feeding routines, play groups, enrichment, cleaning, and monitoring behavior. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I enjoy taking lots of cute photos of your pets, and I can also do baths and nail grindings 🐶❤️ I’m available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m very flexible, so just let me know your preferred time and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. Visiting pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and safe. I have two dogs on my property: one is my small dog, JJ, who does great with other dogs as long as she doesn’t feel threatened—she just prefers her personal space. The other dog belongs to my roommate and stays on her side of the house, with no access to visiting pets. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I also offer basic grooming services such as bathing, nail grinding, brush-outs, and ear cleaning. If you’re interested, I can also provide festive photoshoots for your pets! For an additional price 🐾

About: I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family. Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️ A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.
About: I love animals ever since I was young age, especially how difference their personalities are! They have their own needs and wants which something I’m willing to learn no matter the size. Just give me the routine and I’ll follow it with no problems, they’ll be loved and cared for while you’re away! I volunteered in one rescue back in my hometown while growing up so preparing special food, walking/exercising, giving treats (especially to the good boys/girls!) are on my list! I also have basic grooming experience so brushing, basic teeth cleaning, cutting nails, cleaning face are on my list of experiences! I’m also not afraid to get down dirty when needing to bath a dirty dog! I currently work from home and I want to go out of the house and do something productive! What’s more than doing it with fluffy animals! I’m able to go outside more without needing to spend money so I thought might as well combine my love animals and going outside. It’s a win-win since I can take care of your babies while you’re busy and I can be outside of my house!! I currently live in a gated community, we have our own little dog park within the community. I also live in a 3 story apartment so if your cats end staying for the night they’ll have penalty if not more space to have their night zoomies!

About: Hi! I’m a recent graduate of Christopher Newport University and have been pet sitting since I was 14. I have experience with both overnight stays and drop-in visits and have cared for both dogs and cats. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve mostly worked with younger, high-energy pets, so I’m very used to keeping active dogs engaged, exercised, and happy. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing! I recently moved to the area, and I'm excited to make New Port Richey my home for the near future! I'm spending the summer with family, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time between summer travels to provide reliable, attentive pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while also maintaining a safe environment. I’m very familiar with the area and know several great, safe walking spots for dogs.

I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
“Nelson was always on time he went above and beyond to take care of our Milo. Milo somehow did not want to go beyond the drive way, I asked Nelson if he could pick him up and carry him to the end of the road then he would walk with you, I know that sounds funny but that’s how to get him to walk, Nelson had no problem doing so. I have scheduled Nelson for 2 weeks in a row and wr are very satisfied, more bookings are on the way. Thank you so much for everything you have done for Milo and us, you are greatly appreciated”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cared for my grandma’s pets, making sure they’re happy, fed, and loved. I treat every dog like family always. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give pups attention, playtime, and care. Boarding works best for me on weekends after 2pm, but I’m happy to help on weekdays if needed — we can always work something out. For dog walking, I’m available most weekdays and flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s routine. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space and grass for safe outdoor play. I can provide cat food, but I’ll need owners to bring any dog food and a crate if their pup uses one. I’m happy to help with basic dog grooming like brushing and bathing — I just don’t trim nails. Your pet will always be cared for and comfortable while they’re with me!

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 9 and 1/2 years. Two of the dogs I've owned have had epilepsy so I know what to do in case of a seizure, and make sure they receive their medications on time. I've also have owned two deaf dogs so I know the challenges that comes with them! While I haven't personally owned any cats, I'm open to to learning and making sure your cat is in good hands! I'm currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of pets. At home, I personally take care of my three dalmatians whenever my mom isn't able to, but I still will have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I always make sure to be gentle and caring with pets in either situations. Whether it's playing in the yard, or just snuggling on the couch, the animal's well-being is my top priority!

“Hailey was such a pleasure to meet! She was prompt, very friendly, and Bria took to her right away! I wanted to be here for the first time, but now that I met her and saw Bria and her together, I will definitely book with Hailey again!”
About: I love being given the opportunity to meet each and every pet individually and to develop a relationship, is priceless. We should provide the same love they give to us. We are their voices. It is easy to have fun and do activities with our fur friends. I also like to take into consideration their personalities, habits, and likes. I am here to service them. Our fur friends are just like us, they only speak a different language. Therefore its an easy, loving job to do. As a young child I recall bringing strays home and almost being put out with them, hoping maybe one day I would be able to keep one of them. I never had the heart to put them back in the streets so, I tools them to Intake shelters. It all comes natural to me. Walks, Runs and Playing Catch Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I already plan my day around responsibilities and schedules, so adding feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins feels very manageable. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need without feeling rushed. Throughout the week, I stay organized and communicate with owners regularly, sending updates and making sure their pets are comfortable and happy. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so it feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just another task. If pets stay in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment, keep hazardous items out of reach, supervise interactions, and follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs
“Rachael has been a great help with my dog. Very communicative, on-time, trust worthy, and available. I can’t thank her enough for her professional care of my pooch!”
“Pua loves Kelly and warmed up to her quickly, which is rare since she is a rescue and still very timid towards people. Would recommend her to take care of your dogs, even those needing special care and patience like Pua.”
“Jada was incredibly professional and kind from the beginning. She took fantastic care of Coco and Tonks and we will most definitely be using her any time we need a walker/sitter. Highly recommend and trust with our fur babies!!”

“Lindsey was so wonderful with my babyboy. Kept in touch with messages, pictures, and videos. I swear my lil man had the biggest smile. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone. I know I will a repeat client.”
“"We had a fantastic experience with Jeff and Janel and would absolutely book with them again! Since it was our first time leaving Rosco, we were naturally a bit nervous, but Jeff and Janel made the process so much easier. We started with a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit, which really put our minds at ease. Throughout our trip, they kept us consistently informed with photos and videos of Rosco, which we loved seeing. They were also incredibly accommodating regarding Rosco’s specific dietary needs. They were proactive in asking for detailed instructions to ensure they followed his routine perfectly. It’s always difficult to leave your pup behind, but the constant updates and their friendly, attentive care made us feel completely comfortable. Highly recommended!"”
About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration
“Clary was AMAZING. I had to find a place for our dog over Christmas break last minute. She made our dog feel so welcomed and sent photos and videos every day. Our dog looked so happy. Thank you, Clary!”
“I would definitely recommend Kala to watch your fur babies! She’s so nice and sends you pictures each day! She will definitely spoil them! Great communication and overall amazing experience!!”
“Jean and AL watched our Ophelia, and she had a wonderful time. She felt right at home with them and their pups, she loved playing with them and snuggles on the couch. I am so grateful for them and for their wonderful care for our girl. We would highly recommend them to anyone. They kept us updated throughout the day with how she was doing and even sent us pictures of her, it truly helped because we missed her dearly. Ophelia can't wait for her next stay with them, I just know it 🩷 she adores them💕”
“Chandler was fantastic the entire stay for my pups! Sent pictures & video updates during their stay and was so communicative. Rebooked with him the same day I picked them up!”
“Stephanie’s the best! My dog Oki is old and he hasn’t been with anyone else but me. He had a little bit of separation anxiety and Stephanie made him feel loved and cared for. She was patient with him and Oki finally felt safe in someone else’s care. We definitely would go back to her in a heartbeat.”
“Joanna did an awesome job making us feel comfortable with leaving our pup with her. He is an older dog that still acts like he is in his prime, but from the first meet and greet I could tell that this was not her first time handling big dogs. We have used Rover a few times but this is by far the most comfortable we have felt. We will definitely book Joanna in the future!”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of Bonnie and Lucy from Sunday morning through Wednesday afternoon. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and it was a big plus that her two dogs got along and played nicely with ours, which helped keep them active and happy. Communication was good overall, and she was responsive when needed. The dogs came home healthy and in good spirits, and we appreciated her care while we were away. We’d be comfortable using Jenna again and appreciate her help.”
“We LOVE Tracee, she took such wonderful care of Sage🥰. He enjoyed every minute, the walks, toys and lots love from Tracee. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again. Sage was also very clean when I picked him up🤗”
“After my meet and greet with Katie and all their household members I was a lot less concerned about leaving Sam and Shamus. These boys are my children and leaving them their was one less worry, probably my biggest worry, about going away for a few days! Katie seemed to know what she was doing, and being a long time breeder in the past I feel I have a certain sense about people when it comes to dogs! She picked up our babies, right on time, as my heart couldn't drop them off and feel ok with it! She started sending pictures and updates as soon as she got our babies to their new sleep over camp. Throughout our time away we received many updates, pictures, videos and it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared they were! Mostly, I was relieved to see how they really fit in and how quickly they adapted! When Katie dropped them off after our return, although it was great to see they were happy to see us it was also very reassuring to see that without hesitation they would have jumped back into her vehicle without giving it a second thought. I have never seen my 2 boys so calm and relaxed and to pickup our routine after being gone for 3 days. Without hesitation, I would utilize Katie in any of our future travels and we know there will be at least two or more coming up in the winter and spring of next year!!! I might, from time to time, arrange to drop them off for an occasional play date just to play with the friends they met and her great back yard for them to play for a day here and there!! We gave them 5 stars!!!”
“Betsy communicates well and provides a loving home away from home. A large fenced yard for lots of running and playtime helped get my pup's energy out. And she was so attentive to ensure my pup was comfortable on his first stay with her as he is quite anxious. And pup loved her!”
“Thank you Laura! I was stressed about leaving Abby with anyone but you and your family made it easy for me. I loved receiving text messages and pictures letting me know Abby was doing great and having fun. Thank you to your son for helping and loving Abby. You guys are awesome!!! Thank you!”
“Kristie and her daughter are AMAZING and simply the BEST!! Kristie goes above and beyond to send pictures and updates so you are very comfortable with how your fur babies are doing. She treats them like her own and spoiled them rotten . Highly recommend and will definitely use again . My dogs Loved her !!”
“Chris C kept my kitten for four days and three nights. This was her first time being away from me for more than eight hours. He was absolutely awesome. He sent me videos pictures text messages and I felt comfortable the entire time I was away from her. she’s almost 6 months and still a baby. He treated her like she was his own and so did his awesome cat Stasche I would definitely recommend him and I will also rebook with him whenever Skye needs a sitter really nice guy and his home was perfect for my baby to enjoy herself”
“Mai was absolutely incredible! I was worried about leaving my pup with a stranger and especially with another dog, as my dog can be a humper. One meet and greet with Mai and Fogi the puggle, and he was completely taken with them both, didn’t even bark when I dropped him off. I was out of cell phone coverage on a cruise but Mai still sent constant pictures and updates (over 8 days!) that I was able to see at my leisure and her communication any time I was able to text her was great. She even slept on a sofa with my dog the first nights he got adjusted to being somewhere new! When I got him home, it was clear Mai was a better choice than a kennel as he wasn’t smelly, overly tired or sickly. I will definitely be using her again. So glad to have found a sitter I can trust with my overly spoiled pup.”
“Celeste is amazing! She accommodated my booking on short notice during the holiday and took GREAT care of my spoiled golden. Bella had a fun time with the children and her 2 fur babies. THANK YOU, Celeste!”
About: I've always owned & cared for animals my whole life. I grew up around a farm when I was a kid and I've always had dogs & cats of my own. I currently own 2 Great Danes and 3 cats. I currently work full time but will take appointments whenever I am off work and available. I will only take appointments for pet sitting/daycare in my own home. Since I have 5 animals of my own I cannot leave them for long periods of time to stay in your home. I do have a very medium/large crate in my home if your animal needs to be separated. I own my own home close to Starkey Park and several dog parks. My yard is completly fenced in with 6ft privacy fencing. I also have a screened in pool for those pets that like the water. I have a large sized pet door that goes from the house out to the fenced yard. My cats are very friendly and love my dogs but take a little to warm up to other dogs. They also have a small pet door to escape to the garage if they are overwhelmed . My dogs get along with all other dogs and don't mind cats.
