“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“Great dog sitter, will use again! It was the easiest handoff I’ve ever had, usually Ruby starts freaking out that I am leaving her but she settled in with them right away. You can tell Brittany and Stephen are dog people, Ruby was well loved and cared for.”
“Our fur baby, McKenna, stayed with Angela and Kenneth this past weekend and had an obvious blast. We enjoyed getting the pics and videos showing all the activities they were doing with her. They really treated her like their own and took exceptional care of her. We are looking forward to having her stay with them again! Highly recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brian and Julie were absolutely amazing sitters for our sweet Sephora! 🐶 From the start, they treated her like family, making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Horacio was kind enough to share his couch! They even fed her sweet potatoes! Throughout her stay, they proactively sent us photos of her enjoying her little vacation by going on fun walks around the lake and getting lots of love. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. 🐾 To top it all off, they went above and beyond by jump-starting my car when I was on my way to pick her up! Truly incredible people. ❤️ I highly recommend Brian and Julie for anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and caring pet sitters! 🏡🐕✨”
“Daniel was amazing with my puppy. He responded quickly and took my dog on super short notice. His house was so clean and dog friendly. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Thank you Ruthie, Jerry and Pete for taking such great care of Touille and Petals!! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our girls were staying in a safe and comfortable home with loving people. Thank you for the daily updates and awesome pictures!! Best Rover experience we’ve ever had!”
“Grace was an amazing sitter! Our girls can be a handful and she made us feel at ease and confident she had everything handled. She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, so kind, and was overall a breath of fresh air to work with! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you again! :)”
“Tracy was amazing with Riggs and I felt so comfortable being away for work knowing that my boy was being well taken care of. She thoroughly reviewed all the notes I left her.”
“Linda was fabulous. We had never left Joey before with someone new and he had the best time. Linda always sent updates and pictures of Joey which made me feel at ease that he was having fun. Linda also taught Joey new tricks! We will definitely book again”
“Billy was just great! He went the extra mile with my little dog, Gracie and I appreciate his kindness and attentiveness. He also kept me posted as to how she was doing. I would definitely book again with him. He really loves dogs and enjoys their company.”
“Barney and Annie had their own little vacay during their stay with Leigh. She sent great pictures and updates daily and in each photo they looked so comfy and relaxed. I will absolutely send my pups to stay with Leigh again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends!”
“Wonderful experience! Kim was so great. She sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Claire was amazing! She sent regular photo updates and detailed notes throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kona was happy and relaxed I picked him up. I’m glad he had another dog to play with. I will definitely book with Claire again!”
“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!!”
“Susan took wonderful care of our dog. We arranged a meet and greet a few weeks before and I instantly knew my dog would be in good hands. Susan sent photos each day she was with my dog and kept me informed of how she was doing. This was my first experience using Rover and I will definitely book Susan again.”
“We had a great experience from the drop off til pickup! Communication was very prompt and we received several pics reassuring us that our furbaby was comfortable and happy.”
“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.”
“Alyssa was great! She kept me updated the whole time I was gone with pictures and messages. She was very accommodating and patient with my nervous and shy pup!”

“Thank you Kimberli for taking the time to do a meet & greet Ruth Chocolate prior to her visit. I appreciate you being patient with her and providing honest feedback to me to set everyone up for more success visit in the future.”
“Kimberly took wonderful care of our cat, Muffin. He was sick while we were away, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well looked after. She kept us updated every day, with bonus videos, which gave us great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Kimberly with Muffin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and dependable sitter.”
“Sam is the BEST! She made sure my cat Piero had the best time while we were away and looked after him with so much care and attention. She made it so easy to feel assured that he was doing great and all the pics and updates were so nice to see 🤩 Everything was fantastic!!”
“Emily is so wonderful!! She shared pics of my cat throughout the day and kept me updated on things I was worried about while leaving him. My cat was immediately comfortable with her which is unheard of! She is just wonderful, highly recommend!! I will most certainly be using her again in the future while I’m in the area.”
“Lisa did a fantastic job dropping in and making sure my two cats were fed and doing well. This is my second time Lisa has helped me when I needed someone to watch my fur babies. Will definitely rebook again. I highly recommend her to be your next pet caretaker”
About: Hi! I've been taking care of furry friends since I was 11! I’m kept on my toes by my 1 year old mini dachshund, Koda, who I've raised since he was a baby. I also have experience with senior care through my little old man, Hawkeye. I'm a current law student and young professional and I would love to help others who need some pet lovin’ worked into their busy schedules! There's no puppy too energetic, sleepy, or playful!! My pup has separation anxiety so I am very familiar with pets sometimes needing a bit of extra care. When your furry friend is with me, they will be my #1 priority and receive all of my attention and love! I'm currently in law school, and working part time, and would love to work with you to find how we can work pet care into our schedules! I have a fully fenced back yard, and gates that can be used inside my home. I have a friendly, if not sometimes shy, mini dachshund that loves playing with smaller dogs especially or just sleeping on the couch all day! We’re both comfortable with and enjoy any level of play.
“Brittany took such great care of my two cats. She was punctual, professional and kept me posted with updates and photos! Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I don’t have much experience with cats but I have taken care of my sister in-laws cats a few times, and when I visit my friends who have a cat (Rudy in the picture), I love giving him attention and loving.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I am almost always around and will take the dogs out every 2 or so hours. We just moved into a new house with a fenced in backyard and plenty of space to move around. I have an energetic 6 year old golden doodle who I love and treat like my child! I have a very hard time leaving him anywhere (other's homes/kennels) worried that he won't get the proper care, so know that I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own. If your pup is not properly house trained please advise me before so I am aware. Also please have your furry friend bring their own bowls! I can provide food if necessary!
About: I have accumulated six cats over the last 10 years. They are my pride and joy. Honestly, they are better than TV most days. Each one of my cats have their own personalities, and different in all kinds of ways!!! I love to win a cat over because most cats are finicky on who they let in their personal space! I like to call myself the cat whisperer her
About: I have been in the pet care world for most of my life. I have volunteered and worked in shelters since a young age. Through my 20’s I managed a small boarding and adoption facility. I have experience in all types of animals - from fish, to snakes, to hamsters, to rabbits, to cats and dogs (my fav!). I currently have two rescue pups. I truly love animals and enjoy caring for them. I have taken care of so many different types and breeds along with those that have medical needs and senior needs. Thank you for considering me to care for your family member! I have my own business which offers me flexibility with scheduling. I will always try to work with you on what your schedule needs are. Caring for your pets and making sure they are comfortable and have what they need is #1 priority. I will always go over what your pets needs are with you first before starting any job, so that I make sure they have exactly what they need. I pride myself on healthy, responsible pet care.
“Dan was great - a good communicator, and took great care of our cat a Phoenix. He was attentive, sent photos, and followed instructions to keep ants out of our cats food. Highly recommend!”
“Miles was not only very accommodating on last minute changes but also communicative with us through the 5 days we needed the drop in visits for our cats. They took great care of our babies, played and scooped the litter on daily basis. Plus the pictures and videos they sent us were supper adorable! We will definitely reach out to Miles again for future services.”
“Colleen spent amazing quality time with my Kitty. I can tell just looking at the photos that my cat enjoyed her company and found her as a safe person to be around! Thank you Colleen!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the go-to person in my family and friend group when someone needs a pet sitter. I regularly watch my parents’ dogs and my boss’s dog, including overnight stays when they travel. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m used to different personalities and definitely don’t mind a little chaos. 😂 I’ll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and I’ll probably send you a few pictures along the way because I know I’d want them too. 🐾 I’m usually available in the evenings during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or boarding. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine and what works best for you! I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment and always make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I enjoy spending time with pets, playing with them, going for walks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets in their normal routine.

About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.
“Alyssa and Ace are so good for Bailey! Alyssa is so patient with her since she is very sensitive. Ace is great at showing Bailey how to 'dog'. I am so glad we found Alyssa & Ace to help us thru this journey with our sweet girl Bailey. :-)”
About: Home away from home level love. Expect expert level care, with lots of love, play and snuggles! I only take a few dogs at a time, so that it doesn't get too crowded and everyone gets plenty of attention. We take puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, guinea pigs...you name it! I work from home, so I am rarely away from the pups on weekdays. Drop off times are pretty flexible. Pick up time ends at 8pm. I love when I have conference calls at home and the dogs make a cameo appearance. It makes everyone's day! I have a nice fenced in yard with shady spots throughout. There is a pool that the dogs can swim in if they want. I also have security cameras inside so I can check in when we are not home. Dogs love our doggie door for the freedom to come and go.
“Julie + Brian are SO nice! Super sweet, kind, caring, and 100% dog lovers! Appreciate you and can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of my dog-ter!”
“To say Kratos had a great time with Venus and fur friends is an understatement ! I received updated statuses regularly and never once wondered what my lil land shark was up to. She gave him such a great balance of play time and quiet time. Her dogs are very kind and gentle with play time with my puppy. She was incredibly attentive and kept a watchful eye on our crazy pup. Kratos was heartbroken everyday to leave his fur friends behind when it came time to me picking him back up. I would request her to watch him again in a heartbeat ! Her place is his home away from home 💕🐶 I can’t thank her enough for the pawesome pet sitting she provided !”
“I can’t recommend Steffany enough! She clearly loves all dogs and is passionate about providing proper care. She was extremely communicative, flexible, and takes great photos of your pup. Will definitely work with Steffany again!”
About: I am a former public school counselor who has left the field to commit to pet care full time. I am passionate about animals. I have experience with rescue animals young and old. I work well with nervous or anxious rescue dogs of all ages, cats as well. I spend most of my free time with my dog and cat. I grew up with dogs, cats and a bird. I have worked with puppies, kittens, and elderly animals with specific physical and behavioral needs. I look forward to working with your furry friends. I spend most of my time walking dogs & checking in on dogs and cats! I love walking and playing with my cat and dog and love to send pictures and updates while spending time with your pet. I tend to my dog frequently with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Happy to take all the time I need with your pet to ensure they have the level of care that you typically provide.i am also fully insured for your peace of mind.
“Jennifer was a life saver after there was a maintenance emergency / apartment was not safe to leave my dog in for the day, and I had to be at work on short notice. Jennifer and her partner were so sweet and loved on Milo while I was at work, sending picture updates throughout the day. Thank you both so so much.”
“Dian is fantastic. Responded quickly, made everything easy, and our pups loved each other. Nancy Drew didn't stop smiling from her big visit with Dian until she fell asleep. Will definitely use Dian again.”
“Catherine is truly such a delight! I am very picky about who I leave my fur baby with, so finding someone I completely trust has been such a relief. She has watched Nico multiple times now, and every experience has been wonderful. Nico absolutely adores her — he gets so excited every time we arrive at her building, which says it all! Catherine sends thoughtful picture updates throughout his stay (unprompted!), and I love receiving them. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found her and can’t recommend her enough!”
“I'm so happy I found Rachel! My Dante is doing better than expected and he's happy and energetic when I pick him up! His normal Texas sitter feeds him too many treats and plays him so hard, he is exhausted when I pick him up. I totally prefer his daycare now cause he has energy for his momma 😃. Thank you, Rachel! I can tell you he knows Peppa and Ocean by name cause he perks up when I tell him he's going to see them.”
“Erandi was able to take on my boys last minute for some daycare. Easy to work with and kept me updated on their day with texts and images. They were super happy and exhausted and I could tell they enjoyed their time with her and her household. Definitely will use again!”
“What a find! The beautiful Ramona has a heart of gold, and Alex and Andy are okay too! Under Alex's intuitive care, my nervous pup pranced on a walk, then melted into a lap dog, happy to be where Alex was. At the end of the stay, my little one was calm as could be, emitting little moans of pleasure like she does when she is intensely happy. I'm very grateful and will definitely be back.”
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.
“Kimberly did a great job watching my little doodle. He stayed for doggy daycare and came home happy after. Kim is very friendly and communicative. She provided pictures and an update about his stay. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong pet-sitter, new to the platform. After recently losing my elderly cocker spaniel, I am looking to return to caring for other people’s pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and hamsters, and live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and walking distance to three different parks. I am retired from healthcare, BLS certified, active, fun-loving and professional. I look forward to meeting your pet! I have an empty nest and am an active young retiree, so I am home all day except for trips to the park for exercise and the petstore for treats! I live in a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for quick potty breaks, but prefer taking walks around one of the beautiful nearby parks if your dog is willing. I welcome all well-behaved dogs, crate-trained or not.
About: Hi! I’m Michelle, and I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their family is away. ❤️ When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like family. I provide a calm, loving home environment where your pup can relax, receive plenty of attention, and follow the routines and comforts they’re used to at home. One thing that makes my care different: I care for only one client dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my undivided attention, individualized care, and plenty of one-on-one companionship rather than having multiple unfamiliar dogs competing for my attention. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful—for both you and your pup! My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routines, preferences, and needs so they can feel right at home. Whether your dog loves walks, cuddles, playtime, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve. 🐶💕 You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is receiving personalized, attentive, and compassionate care in a comfortable home environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a loving home away from home! Because I work from home, caring for a dog fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent companionship, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, comfortable, and calm home environment where your pet can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home and care for only one client dog at a time, your pup receives consistent supervision and my undivided attention throughout their stay. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, maintain their normal routine, and quickly notice if something seems unusual or if they need extra comfort or attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual personality, habits, routines, feeding schedule, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by their owner. I believe clear communication with you is an important part of building trust, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ I also respect each dog’s boundaries and comfort level. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers a quiet place to relax, I want them to feel safe and welcome in my home. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care as I would want someone to treat my own—with patience, compassion, respect, attention, and lots of love. 🐶💕

Whether it’s daily walks or extended overnight stays, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work from home on MWF so I am very flexible with dog walking availability! As far as overnight stays in my home, I do not have any day limitations. If dogs are crate trained, I will leave them in the crate if I am leaving the house just to make sure they feel safe. I have a closed in backyard. For new dogs, I will keep them on the leash the first time they are down there just to gauge their temperament.

“My dog had a great couple of walks with Tracy! She sent great photos and updates while they spent time together, which made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. :)”
“My father has been in the hospital for over a month with his service animal. It's been a lot for me to handle on my own along with trying to get my father better. Nicole came to the rescue on short notice to start providing me immediate relief. Asking someone to come to the hospital to help is a big ask in itself so I was amazed with her willingness to help. Nicole is incredibly reliable and went above and beyond ensuring my father's dog went to the bathroom even when taking longer than scheduled and had food and water.”

“Amy is just amazing, I can not say enough good things about Amy. She is always on time, just a pleasure to work with. The dogs love her and were excited to see her each day immediately. Amy has a great demeanor getting the dogs to listen to her and teaching them new manners when leaving the house. She is very strong willed handling two large labs. I would trust Amy with our dogs and house anytime. We love her!”

About: I've never lived in a home where there wasn't at least one dog. Growing up, my parents always had 1-2 dogs and I was always very involved in taking care of them. In high school, I dogsat for friends and family. In college, I rented a room in a house where the family living there owned a dog and I helped take care of it. After college, I continued to dogsit. I also volunteered at a dog shelter and fostered a few dogs before adopting one of my own! Since then, my husband Zach and I have had over 5 years of dogsitting experience and have watched all sorts of dogs, big and small, young and old. You can feel safe leaving your pup with us, no matter their size, age, or special needs. We will treat your dog just like our own and make them feel right at home :) Being a dog owner is not a part-time job. We make sure to constantly keep up on everything - water, meals, toys, treats, potty breaks and walks, baths and nail trims, flea and heart worm meds, and so much more! We make sure our pup gets lots of walks and treats and gets a birthday celebration and doggy advent calendar every year. To us, she's not just a dog, she's part of our family and we treat her as such. This is the same treatment we'd extend to any dog in our home! You can feel safe and secure knowing your pup is being treated in the best possible way, having all their needs met and being given lots of love and attention. My husband and I have a two-bedroom home with a completely fenced-in and gated back yard with lawn. We have a small 10 pound dog that lives with us. We hope your dog and ours will be friends, but if they're not, we have plenty of space to keep them separate, so you don't have to worry about them not getting along. We make sure not to have any plants, scents/oils or foods around that could be toxic to dogs. We both work from home and at least one of us is is around to supervise at all times when home. We are very responsible and when we do go out, we never leave the house for more than a few hours. While I hope you'll feel safe trusting your pup to us, I'm also happy to send photo updates of your dog if it gives you peace of mind.

“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“Daniel was amazing with my puppy. He responded quickly and took my dog on super short notice. His house was so clean and dog friendly. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Thank you Ruthie, Jerry and Pete for taking such great care of Touille and Petals!! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our girls were staying in a safe and comfortable home with loving people. Thank you for the daily updates and awesome pictures!! Best Rover experience we’ve ever had!”
“Grace was an amazing sitter! Our girls can be a handful and she made us feel at ease and confident she had everything handled. She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, so kind, and was overall a breath of fresh air to work with! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you again! :)”
“Tracy was amazing with Riggs and I felt so comfortable being away for work knowing that my boy was being well taken care of. She thoroughly reviewed all the notes I left her.”
“Barney and Annie had their own little vacay during their stay with Leigh. She sent great pictures and updates daily and in each photo they looked so comfy and relaxed. I will absolutely send my pups to stay with Leigh again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends!”
“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!!”
“We had a great experience from the drop off til pickup! Communication was very prompt and we received several pics reassuring us that our furbaby was comfortable and happy.”
“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.”
“Alyssa was great! She kept me updated the whole time I was gone with pictures and messages. She was very accommodating and patient with my nervous and shy pup!”
“We enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing that Copper was well taken care of. Copper loved sunning in Beverly's large yard. Thanks for the daily photo updates and taking such good care of him!”
“Rachel is fantastic! We have used her service twice now for extended overnight stays and will continue to use her on a regular basis. Our Lily seems almost happier to arrive at Rachel's house than she does when we return to pick her up from being away! Needless to say, this warms our hearts. There is no greater comfort than knowing when we have to be apart from our pets that they are in good, caring hands. We highly recommend Rachel.”
“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!”
“Skylar is awesome! She’s attentive, accommodating, and took great care of my Snowdrop. She sent pictures and updates through the day and I never felt worried about my fur baby when she was in her hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Tiffany and her family were wonderful with our anxious big baby Freya. We didn't want to travel without her but the incredibly long road trip to and from in less than a week would have been too much for her. Freya has not spent one day of her life without one of us or her best pal Blue since we adopted her from the Humane Society in Nov 2023. While she struggled for a couple of days, Tiffany and her family gave Freya love, attention, and great patience as she tried to get comfortable. By the time we came to pick her up she had settled in nicely because of Tiffany's efforts. Tiffany's dedication to the well-being of the pups she tirelessly works to make happy while their families are away is unmatched. Tiffany is now forever Aunt Tiffany - if we need to go out of town without Freya again we'll be checking with Tiffany before scheduling our trip to ensure she has room for our big baby. We're so thankful and relieved that Freya has a "camp" now and a safe place away from home when we can't be with her. Thank you Tiffany and family - we can't express how thankful we are for you!”
“Joli was amazing with Brann. She contacted me every day on how he was and what he had been doing that day. She sent great pictures and let me know how much she and her family enjoyed his company. There was never any doubt in my mind that Brann was in safe and caring hands, even with his special needs. I will absolutely be contacting her again.”
