“Molly was amazing with my 12-week old puppy! Sent tons of pic/video updates, administered meds including foam when he was itching. She had her sweet Olive girl + other pups during the stay - Molly actively supervised play, had separate feedings, and ensured there was no resource guarding which put my mind at such ease. Tribe will only to Molly’s from now on!!”
“Brittany took such great care of our 8 month old puppy Peach. She sent us pictures and updates every day, and I truly felt like my baby was being taken care of just the way I wanted. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“We could not have been happier with the care Claire gave out pup! Our 2 yo miniature schnauzer looked so happy in the many pictures we received. I feel like Elsie now has a second home! I feel so lucky to have found Claire and will use her services again! Thank you Claire!”
“my past dog sitter moved away and Savannah was able to help me with a last minute booking, she was incredibly caring and made sure to send me lots of pictures and updates of my baby! diego seemed really sad to leave her which is always a good sign! i will definitely be using her services again!”
“Teri is amazing! I knew my senior dog was in the best of hands from the time we first communicated online. She wanted to make sure he had all his shots and even communicated with my vet with questions she had about him. Everyday Teri texted me with photos and videos of how he was doing. He is a 15 1/2 year old senior dog and this was his first experience at boarding with other dogs. So I was a little concerned how he would do in a new situation. However, I had full confidence that Teri could handle any situation that would come up. Teri is a wonderful, responsible dog sitter, Someone who will be truly dedicated to loving and taking care of your dog!”
About: Hi, I’m Kylee. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have a 15‑year‑old Pomeranian and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, especially seniors or animals with unique personalities. I’ve spent years volunteering with shelters, including the SPCA, where I became a behavioral specialist. I worked with dogs and cats who needed extra support, helping them build confidence, reduce anxiety, and become more adoptable. That experience taught me how to read body language, respond calmly, and meet each animal exactly where they are. I’ve also done extensive pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families, caring for everything from energetic puppies to shy cats to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a gentle routine. I’m comfortable with medication, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra patience. Your pets will get reliable communication, lots of attention, and a safe, calm environment. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m committed to making sure you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m already used to caring for my own senior Pomeranian and two cats, so feeding schedules, check‑ins, and quiet companionship are part of my everyday life. Going on walks is something I do daily, both for my dog and for myself, so adding a few more paws to the routine feels completely natural. I also volunteer regularly with local shelters, which keeps me connected to animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. Caring for pets is already woven into my week, and I genuinely enjoy making space for it. I keep things simple and comfortable for pets, whether they’re in my home or their own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give animals regular attention, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. At home, I follow routines closely and make sure my senior Pomeranian and two cats have a calm, predictable environment — and I bring that same approach to clients’ pets. In their home, I stick to their normal schedule, keep things tidy, and pay attention to what makes them feel safe and relaxed. My goal is always to make them feel cared for and at ease while you’re away.
“Jane was very attentive to Pippa and hosted a meet and greet to get to know her and asked a lot of helpful questions/sent pictures which was appreciated. Was also super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times:). Thanks!”
“Julie and Brian were amazing! My dog, Java had surgery on her mind and two days prior to her sit. She was very well taken care of and handled with kindness and gentleness. I highly recommend them as sitters. Java was comfortable with their dog and snuggled with them on their couch.”
“Emma and William are truly AMAZING. They cared for our 3 month old puppy with tremendous kindness, care, and love. They also sent the most beautiful photos of our little guy. We were nervous leaving Alfie and Emma and William instantly made him (and us!) feel completely reassured. They are treasures and we could not be more grateful for them. Highly, highly recommend!!!”
“Lisa was fabulous with Shiloh! She sent daily updates and photos and Shiloh loved her back yard space and returned home healthy and happy. We highly recommend Lisa as an exceptional pet sitter!”
“This was our third time rebooking with Rachel—she’s simply the best! We really appreciated the morning and evening updates with photos. Always reliable and caring.”
“Repeat customer. My French bulldog Princeton always seems to have a great time here. Loved that Christopher took time for a little "photo session" with my boy - the pictures are some of my favorites!”
“We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to Brianna for taking such good care of our dog, Miley, during our two-week vacation. Leaving Miley for so long was a bit nerve-wracking, but Brianna put all our worries at ease. Right off the bat when we first met her we got a great first impression. Brianna sent daily photos and videos updates, which enabled us to relax and see that Miley was happy and healthy. Not only did she follow Miley’s feeding and walking schedule, but also went above and beyond by giving Miley cuddles and making sure she was comfortable. When we returned, Miley was happy, and clearly very comfortable with her, which is the best sign that she was well cared for. We can't recommend Brianna highly enough. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine love for animals are truly exceptional. And we will definitely be booking her again when needed. Thank you again, Brianna!”
“My 14 year old dog seemed to have a great time with Billy. He came back happy and healthy. I like that he only watches one dog at a time and was able to give my old guy a lot of attention.”
“Bri took care of my labradoodle for almost 2 weeks. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. She did a fantastic job and I will Be using her again. Pa. She has the sweetest Aussie that kept my baby company, and they played for days.”
“Linda is always so attentive and caring with our Coco. He’s old and takes tons of medicines and Linda takes her assignment very seriously. As a trained nurse, she brings all those skills and attentiveness and professionalism to caring for Coco. We love her. Thank you!”
“Very pleased with the service and care of Frank from JENNIFER. When I arrived, she was ready for him. When we picked Frank up everything was ready to go. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Certainly made me feel at ease. Would definitely recommend JENNIFER.”
“Susan took good care of Tooey during a recent 6 day period. She is a patient sitter and clearly loves dogs. Tooey was in good hands with her and her daughter. Tooey also had the company of Susan’s dog Abner, which I’m sure helped her feel more comfortable during her stay.”

“Ashlee is one of the best rover sitters I’ve ever had! She went so above and beyond in taking care of my cat and my home- She sent me sooo many pictures and videos of my cat and sent pictures of the house, litter box, and food bowls. If you’re an anxious pet parent like me you will not worry about a thing while Ashlee is watching your baby! I will definitely book with her again.”
“So grateful i asked Kristen to cat sit. She responded quickly to my request, came by the very next day for a walk through and visited my cats at the time I’d requested, taking care of all their needs. She’s very friendly, easy to communicate with and has a natural ability with caring for animals. I look forward to booking her again.”
“We absolutely love Cassandra. She provided a clean, safe and loving space for our 2 year old Torti Siamese princess "Patti" while we were out of town. Communication was excellent. She will be our go-to person for a sitter from now on.”
“Marlene is fabulous with our two cats! One of our boys needs medication two times a day and Marlene is a pro at getting him to take it! The boys love her! We use her services whenever she is available! Thanks again Marlene!”
“Savannah helped us out with a last minute request and took great care of our kitties and our house. She’s very friendly and followed my many instructions without any issues. Great communication and sent cute photos of our cats! Even our scaredy cat warmed up to her quickly. We arrived home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home. Thank you so much!”
“Lisa was amazing from start to finish. She was very patient and attentive to my fur babies who are shy. Eventually they warmed up to her. She took care of them and showed them lots of love. Highly recommend Lisa for your next pet sitter needs. I’m so grateful to her❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“My cats said they like this nanny! We just adopted a new cat and we didn't feel it was safe yet to leave them alone so we called on Reanna to babysit so we could go out for the evening. Nice to know she's close by when we're ready to do some real traveling!”
“Dylan went above and beyond to get to our house to take good care of our sweet rabbit for 9 days during a huge winter storm. He shoveled and had to walk in from the road due to all the snow and he kept us up to date daily.”
About: I’ve had a lot of experience with my sisters cats, and one of them was very temperamental. I understand cat body language and am very understanding of their boundaries!
About: I grew up with two dogs that filled my life with so much joy. I just want to give that to your dogs even if it’s just a walk, a check in, or even a long term service. I have open availability to care for your fur babies. I do have a part time job but will be able to schedule around those few shifts I have a week. My priority is your animals! I am very adamant on keeping all dogs on leash unless in a gated backyard or at a dog park dependent on how they interact with other dogs and owners wishes.
“Tiantian was an exceptional and responsible dog walker - she was punctual, flexible and took care of my dog Lucy with love and care. I would use her again without any hesitation! She is a lovely person who is responsible and caring!!”
About: I've been blessed with caring for many cats through the years, from the ones that chose me, to sitting for friends and neighbors cats. I find them to be the most mysterious and magical animals. Our very own Genghis Khan crossed the rainbow bridge recently after 19 years 😿 He was a wild one and we miss him every day. In lieu of getting another cat, I am now dedicating my time to caring pets for others. I tailor every sit to the individual animal's wants and needs...it really is all about them. 😻
About: I just recently moved to the Gulfport area and am looking to meet new pets and people. I've been pet boarding and sitting with Rover in Charlotte, NC for the past 4 years. I've had dogs and cats growing up. I've pet sat my friends and families dogs and cats for over 5 years! I love animals and they bring me joy! I currently work part time so I have lots of availability during the week! I am also available on the weekends as well, let's do this. I have a big backyard and front yard and live in a very walkable neighborhood. The backyard is fenced for playing and staying safe! Yay!
About: My work allows me to work from home and I also leave the house to meet with clients out in my community (as a Real Estate Advisor) which allows me the flexibility to care for pets through the day. We are up at 5am and generally go to bed around 10pm. I am self employed (Real Estate Agent) so I have a flexible schedule and work from home and when I leave I am away from home for about 2-4 hours. I have a quiet home in a quiet safe community. I keep busy at home throughout the day with working on the computer to doing basic household chores and some gardening so your dog will stay stimulated and keep active. And there’s plenty of rest and relaxation too! SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT: I offer both EXCLUSIVE boarding starting at $60/night and MULTI-family boarding starting at $35/night - your choice depending on your dogs comfort level with other dogs. If you choose EXCLUSIVE Boarding or Daycare, your dog/dogs will the only dogs in my home when they stay. I have a nice fenced in backyard. And I NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOGS OUTSIDE ALONE OR UNATTENDED. If your dog is accustomed to going to kennels or doggy day care then I also offer a reduced rate for MULTI-FAMILY BOARDING in which your dog(s) could be with dogs from other homes, depending on your dogs’ temperament and disposition. I DO NOT MIX AGGRESSIVE DOGS TOGETHER. I know my regular clients very well and understand which dogs may or may not be a good fit for each other. If your dog likes being crated at night or when I leave the house , I do have crates. Just let me know your preference and if your dog has any anxiety or fears. Tell us how you like your dog cared for and we will make accommodations accordingly! I live in a quiet neighborhood so I can also take your dog for a stroll or an active walk (weather permitting). In the middle of summertime I am very careful so as not to overheat your pup! I am self employed and leave the house from time to time (real estate agent) so some days I’m home all day and other times I’m gone for about 2-4 hours.
About: Dogs and cats were always a constant in my life growing up (even the occasional horse!). Learning how to extend my care to a variety of fur babies from a young age has led me to be very passionate about how deserving they are of consistently top notch care. I will always treat another persons animals with kindness and respect, as if they were my own. I have experience with senior dogs but am also no stranger to our younger, more playful pups. My experience with cats is a little more limited but I have always enjoyed caring for them. I’ve helped many friends and family members with their animals, and would love to extend that service to more people. If you’re a first time Rover user, you can use this link to get $20 off your first walk with me https://www.rover.com/sit/nicolb57032 I am totally willing to do overnight stays or late night drop-in visits when discussed. Feel free to shoot me a message with any scheduling questions! I’m available any time on Wednesdays and Thursdays right now I value communication and transparency between me and all pet parents. The top priority is to keep all pets safe and cared for at all times.

About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and love every dog as if they’re my own. I have experience with all life stages and personalities - whether your dog is high energy and needs lots of playtime or is a senior who just wants to relax and be loved on. I am used to medication management, special diets, mobility challenges and bottle feeding. My adult dog, Olive, is always looking for a new friend to play with. I also foster puppies from time to time, so there may be lots of new friends for your pup to interact with while they’re here. I tailor my care to match animals’ personality and routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether that is day care during the day or a long-term trip, they will be in good hands. I am fully remote and will be with your pup(s) all day. We will have plenty of outdoor play time during the day and always make time for afternoon naps. There is a nice 3 mile walking path by my house, so if your dog is very active and likes to walk or run, I would love to bring them along. For less active dogs, there will always be a comfy spot on the couch for them! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for them to explore. My dog, Olive, loves to run around back there. There are also cooling mats on the back porch if your dog likes to sunbathe.

About: I love animals and treat them like my own. I hug them, hold them, kiss and play with them. I previously had hundreds of animals on a farm in Seminole Fl. From ducks, chickens rabbits ,cats and dogs, to goats, pigs, cows and horses. I like to make them happy because it warms my heart and makes me happy! I'm very patient, compassionate, hardworking, trustworthy and loyal to people and pets. If your pet is with me they will be safe and loved. I have been a homecare person for an elderly family member and have taken care of my friends animals when they have gone out of town. They have all said how clean I keep their home, and it looks like it did when they left.

About: Hi! I'm Kelsey. I graduated from USF with a science degree and left my job in clinical research to hangout with animals all day. This is my full time job (and dream job, tehe). I'm basically a huge dog nerd. When I was a little kid I would fall asleep studying my collection of 13 dog encyclopedias (hope my parent still have those). My love of dogs has followed me into adulthood - I've trained my own late German Shepherd in Search and Recovery as well as protection, and I have fostered many dogs (and cats!) over the years. I've cared for chihuahuas, to Great Danes, to bulldogs and everything in between. I truly love them all and appreciate all their little quirks and unique ways of communicating. I'm super dog nerd, but spending time with my own cats brings me immeasurable joy as well. I even started a little catnip company for my cat. Anyway, I would love to care for your pet! Looking forward to hearing from you :) Pet care is my full-time job, so caring for animals is what my days revolve around! I have a flexible schedule and am able to build my day around the needs of my clients rather than fitting pet care in around another job. I'm generally available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. My goal is to give each pet plenty of attention and make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Safety is always my first priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, triggers, and any special instructions before caring for them. I'm attentive to doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and anything else that could create a safety issue, and I never assume that every pet has the same needs. In my clients' homes, I'm respectful of their space and leave things exactly as I found them. I'm careful about securing doors and gates when I leave and making sure pets have everything they need before I go. I also believe trust is earned through good communication. I'll keep you updated during visits, let you know if I notice anything unusual, and always reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you're away.
“Cassandra has great communication and is extremely reliable! I have requested her on multiple occasions now and gives me peace of mind when my pup needs a walk while I’m away! Would recommended her to anyone!”
“Dylan was great. He rose to the occasion when our plans changed and we needed someone ASAP for additional pet care at the last minute. Great to have someone so reliable!”
“It was a great pleasure meeting Marlene. She asked a lot of questions about my dogs on our first meet and greet. To which I thought was very professional and very compassionate. Thank goodness I found a great dog walker.”
About: Hi, I’m Kylee. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have a 15‑year‑old Pomeranian and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, especially seniors or animals with unique personalities. I’ve spent years volunteering with shelters, including the SPCA, where I became a behavioral specialist. I worked with dogs and cats who needed extra support, helping them build confidence, reduce anxiety, and become more adoptable. That experience taught me how to read body language, respond calmly, and meet each animal exactly where they are. I’ve also done extensive pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families, caring for everything from energetic puppies to shy cats to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a gentle routine. I’m comfortable with medication, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra patience. Your pets will get reliable communication, lots of attention, and a safe, calm environment. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m committed to making sure you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m already used to caring for my own senior Pomeranian and two cats, so feeding schedules, check‑ins, and quiet companionship are part of my everyday life. Going on walks is something I do daily, both for my dog and for myself, so adding a few more paws to the routine feels completely natural. I also volunteer regularly with local shelters, which keeps me connected to animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. Caring for pets is already woven into my week, and I genuinely enjoy making space for it. I keep things simple and comfortable for pets, whether they’re in my home or their own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give animals regular attention, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. At home, I follow routines closely and make sure my senior Pomeranian and two cats have a calm, predictable environment — and I bring that same approach to clients’ pets. In their home, I stick to their normal schedule, keep things tidy, and pay attention to what makes them feel safe and relaxed. My goal is always to make them feel cared for and at ease while you’re away.
“I’ve used the service a few times and Kristen is great! She sends pictures and fills out the time card so I know my buddy is getting what I pay for. And my pup has nothing but good things to say about her.”
About: I have always been the go-to person my friends and family ask to watch their fur babies, from quick visits to overnight stays. I have a very anxious fur baby at home who is my whole world, and know how nerve wrecking it can be leaving your beloved pet with someone new. I am happy to go above and beyond to ensure your pet is safe, happy and well cared for! I currently am in school full time and have a lot of evenings open as well as gap days. There are many windows of time where I am free and able to give your pet my undivided attention and love! I have a large home that does not have a fenced in yard, but does have a screened in porch that lots of pups have enjoyed laying in the sun and looking out the windows of! :) I am in the Gulfport art district and can easily access anyone in that area. I am VERY committed to your pets safety and happiness in my home.
About: I’ve been loving animals my entire life & treat every pet like my own. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and pets with medical needs. I currently care for my own dog, Auggie (8), who requires daily medication, a special diet, and extra attention due to anxiety and seizures, so I’m very comfortable handling detailed care routines and staying attentive to a pet’s health and behavior!! I’ve also helped raise and care for multiple dogs over the years, including training basic obedience, grooming, and managing multi-dog households. I regularly help care for a Siberian Husky (high energy!) and have experience with reactive and strong personalities. In addition to dogs, I’ve pet-sat for cats and small animals (hamsters, fish, reptiles, etc.) for neighbors and friends since I was young. I’ve even been running my own little pet-sitting and dog-walking gigs since I was a kid, and this has always been something I really love, just getting to be around animals. ❤️ I’m very communicative, send regular updates and photos, and make sure you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be safe, loved, and cared for like my own fur baby family! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, and in-home pet care. As I begin my part-time contract work, I will continue to have flexibility with availability, especially during mornings, afternoons, lunch breaks, and weeknights. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, dependable care that fits their needs! :) I provide in-home care in your pet’s own environment, where they can feel most comfortable and secure. I understand that welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big responsibility, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, pay attention to their behavior and needs, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Linzey is seriously amazing! She is always on time, takes extra time to give all of my pets the love and attention they need . As someone who is A helicopter mom with my animals, I trust her ! she also brought in all my packages that were outside my house. 😂😩 She goes above and beyond! She updates me with pictures and videos too! She is THE BEST !!!!”
About: I am a friend to all animals, I don't discriminate! I'm a lifelong Floridian so I love all kinds of wildlife and have a big appreciation for nature and love to be outdoors, taking dogs to the beach or on long hikes. I also am a huge cat person and am mom to 3 cats🐈⬛. I love all dogs– big, small, hyper, cuddly, lazy, energetic. I've had 2 dobermans in my life so I'm very good with what some would consider "scary" or misunderstood dogs. I've taken care of rottweilers, pitbulls, staffys, retrievers, shepherds. I also had a chihuahua for 13 years, a pet bunny, tons of fish & turtles, a bird, and dozens of cats. So I'm well versed in a lot of pets and understand how important they are to us. I can take care of multiple pets at a time! As long as your pet gets along with other animals they are welcome in my home. I will treat any pet as if they are my own baby. I can provide 24/7 supervision & separation from other animals. I can provide hourly potty breaks and exercise. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 6:30 /7am to begin taking care of my cats and whatever pets I am boarding. I have availabilities 7 days a week. I can take 2-3 pets on for boarding at a time, depending on size. But I have plenty of room and space for pets to be more than comfortable. I take them for walks as soon as I wake up and feed them all breakfast, then take them out at least 4-5 times a day. I lay on the couch with them or take them to the dog park. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them. I have dog gates & a big guest room so separation is easy and I have a screened in catio for cats
“Very happy with Tiantian, and so is my dog! It’s easy to see that’s she has a connection with animals and enjoys them. I highly recommend her and will use her again next time I visit St. Pete Beach.”

About: I grew up with two dogs that filled my life with so much joy. I just want to give that to your dogs even if it’s just a walk, a check in, or even a long term service. I have open availability to care for your fur babies. I do have a part time job but will be able to schedule around those few shifts I have a week. My priority is your animals! I am very adamant on keeping all dogs on leash unless in a gated backyard or at a dog park dependent on how they interact with other dogs and owners wishes.
About: I was raised with Dogs of all sizes and owned my own dogs while raising my family. Cats too. Walking Dogs is my expertise as well as loving your pet! I want to bond with your pet so we can have a lasting relationship. I was also raised with cats and would enjoy visiting your cat and spending time with it. Cats have all different personalities so tell me about your cat and their needs. I am currently RETIRED! I am available to walk, feed, interact, play, and love your pet most days prior to 7 PM. I am not able to house your pet due to HOA Restrictions! That is why I want to take care of YOUR pet!! I miss having an animal in my life. I love going to Dog Parks, walking dogs and petting your cats. I am available to administer medicine to your pets if they are ill. I am very open to any instructions and directions you want to give me to keep your family member healthy and happy every day of the week. I will follow the clients instructions as to how they want me to care for their pet in their home or on walks. Client communication.
About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of and lived with dogs before as well. I am also open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I am located on St Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I currently work part time so I have a good amount of time to set aside throughout the week. I don’t mind dropping in or going on walks on days I work as well! I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on pets so I can understand them better.
About: I’ve always had pets and love to spend time with them they have unconditional love and I love to give them the attention they need I’m looking for something part time and keep me busy I’m a hairdresser and needed something else that is rewarding and fun and be able to be outdoors I can use a leash or what any way you prefer for your pet to be handled regarding the dogs needs and preferences to make them comfortable

“Molly was amazing with my 12-week old puppy! Sent tons of pic/video updates, administered meds including foam when he was itching. She had her sweet Olive girl + other pups during the stay - Molly actively supervised play, had separate feedings, and ensured there was no resource guarding which put my mind at such ease. Tribe will only to Molly’s from now on!!”

“Jane was very attentive to Pippa and hosted a meet and greet to get to know her and asked a lot of helpful questions/sent pictures which was appreciated. Was also super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times:). Thanks!”
“Emma and William are truly AMAZING. They cared for our 3 month old puppy with tremendous kindness, care, and love. They also sent the most beautiful photos of our little guy. We were nervous leaving Alfie and Emma and William instantly made him (and us!) feel completely reassured. They are treasures and we could not be more grateful for them. Highly, highly recommend!!!”

“We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to Brianna for taking such good care of our dog, Miley, during our two-week vacation. Leaving Miley for so long was a bit nerve-wracking, but Brianna put all our worries at ease. Right off the bat when we first met her we got a great first impression. Brianna sent daily photos and videos updates, which enabled us to relax and see that Miley was happy and healthy. Not only did she follow Miley’s feeding and walking schedule, but also went above and beyond by giving Miley cuddles and making sure she was comfortable. When we returned, Miley was happy, and clearly very comfortable with her, which is the best sign that she was well cared for. We can't recommend Brianna highly enough. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine love for animals are truly exceptional. And we will definitely be booking her again when needed. Thank you again, Brianna!”

“After doing one daycare day at Alyssa’s, we were curious to see how our girls would react to driving through her neighborhood for an overnight. Girlies were to excited to recognize the neighborhood and couldn’t wait to get out of the car and into Alyssa’s house to play with Ace! Alyssa kept us updated with photos and comments throughout the visit. What an absolute gem!”
“I’m so appreciative of how communicative Ruthie was throughout our fur baby’s stay! From the initial meet-and-greet with her dog, Pete, I immediately felt comfortable and confident having Ruthie care for Luna. Our dogs got along so well, and it was reassuring knowing Luna was in such a welcoming and loving environment. Ruthie kept us updated throughout her stay, which made being away from her so much easier. I would absolutely recommend Ruthie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to look after their fur baby. We would happily have Luna stay with her again!”
“We had a great experience with him! He took amazing care of our american bulldog and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our dog like one of his own. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!”
