“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
“We needed a last minute dogsitter for our puppy while we left town for a few days. Christina not only was willing to watch our dog on a last minutes notice but took the best care of him! He came back calm, happy, and relaxed. We knew he felt so comfortable with her. Thank you so much for such great care of our dog, Christina! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Dani is fantastic. Blueberry loves staying at her home, and I feel like she is treated like her child, which makes this mother happy :) I will definitely be bringing my puppers to Dani again and again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Amy was wonderful with our 2 dogs. One has anxiety when we leave him but he was treated great and both dogs reopened home tired and happy. Amy was very accommodating and sent great videos and pictures!”
“Amazing dog sitter. They went above and beyond the service. Coco loved them. I was in an accident in my vacation and they were there to extend my stay. They are wonderful people and a beautiful baby. I didn’t expect the kindness that they showed.”
“She settled right in and is very happy! Thank you so much for your kind and generous care of our little girl. We will definitely call again if we need a safe place for her.”
“Sonia gave me and our fur baby a warm hearted greeting at our initial meet. She took care of Winston (fur baby) as if he was her own. She also provided daily communication with pictures about Winston activities and wellness status.”
“This was my first experience to Rover. Com. It was a last minute situation. Laura contacted me immediately. Laura welcomed my Annie into her home as part of the family. She kept me updated and sent daily pictures. Her love and devotion to my pup was unbelievable. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for excellent care. If we bring Annie on our next trip i will Definitely call Laura!!!”

“An absolute joy to have our dog spend time with Denise! She is amazing, kept us informed with pics and nice notes each day. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone wanting a loving and caring sitter for your pet.”
“5 stars isn’t enough to express our sincere thank you. We have previously boarded our dog but we hope to never do that again. Danielle was incredible! The communication and pictures were outstanding not to mention the care provided for our dog.”
“Rebecca and Michael were amazing with Luna! They were super sweet and always kept me updated. I could tell Luna was really well cared for and loved. I’d definitely trust them again!”

“I booked last minute and they helped me out. We had planned for a sitter who wasn’t able to accommodate us. So we hired her she provided the care needed for my pets. Good service. Good spirits and would hire again. Loved all the pictures.”
“I booked Lindsey for a couple days of cat sitting and she was great. She responded promptly, kept me posted on her availability, and made time to come by beforehand to get to know my kitty's routine. She gave me relevant updates on how things went (whether my kitty ate, his mood, medication, etc.) and always provided pictures. On top of this, she brought in some food and made sure she cleaned the food bowls. I would definitely have Lindsey cat sit for me again and highly recommend her to others.”
About: The great thing about cats is that the more time you spend with them, the more affectionate they become! I'm actually currently cat and house sitting, and I love it more everytime as the sweet kitties get more comfortable and loving with me😻I've been taking care of both cats and dogs for 25 years now, and there's nothing that I haven't done or am unwilling to do, for these majestic and awesome creatures. I have a home that is very animal friendly and I'd be happy and honored to have your furry(or hairless) pet's company at my house for any period of time. Or of course will gladly visit your home too. Whatever you or your animals need, I'm up to the task! I'm honest, friendly, a very hard worker and I have an infinite love for all animals. Please let me love your pet like they're my own, and give them a safe & nurturing feeling of home, even when you can't be with them💜 your pets and I are already best friends, we just haven't met yet😁 Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

“Lisa was very welcoming to both us and our dog Dwayne, who is an anxious pup and needs some extra love and attention. She even provided us with pictures and updates during his visit! We feel very confident leaving him in her capable hands!”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”

About: Hi! My name is Abby, and I have a lifelong love for animals. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, respect, and compassion I would give my own. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I take the time to learn their routine and provide personalized care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide peace of mind through consistent communication, updates, and photos. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and every pet parent feel confident that their companion is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule, so I work to follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Because I have a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate potty breaks, walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine and is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and needs so they can feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation, while also respecting their boundaries and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners.
“Love Amelia and her entire sweet family. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua who is very nervous about being away from home. The updates and photos left me very confident and happy that I chose Amelia. She is wonderful and I hope Sophie can stay with her in the future!”
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“I am so grateful to have found Mariana to take care of my dog Bentley. She is a fantastic, caring and loving person and Bentley had a wonderful, fun, and safe time with Mariana. While I was out on vacation, Mariana took care of Bentley so professional and so sweet. I will leave Bentley again with Mariana without a doubt. Thank you.”
About: I think dog’s are awesome animals and they are so loyal. I love being around dogs and seeing their true personalities come out. One day I would live to have a dog, but I want to wait until I have a backyard to let them run. I work a 9-5, but I am remote. This gives me flexibility to tend to your animals needs. Animals are like toddlers and need a lot of care and attention. This is an important thing to remember for any animal owner. I will treat any animal as if they are my own. Every animal on this planet deserves to be treated with love and compassion. In time of their owners absence, it is especially important to make them feel safe and loved.
About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As I grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I have full time availability currently. I am usually up around 5/6am so I am happy to do early mornings. I am up for late night drop ins as well if needed. I do not have a yard but I love to take the dogs to parks and walk around. If they are potty trained, I am more than happy to keep them in my house.
About: I’m a life time animal lover who grew up with pets of all kinds, and have 2 cats of my own. I believe every pup and kitty deserves plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs!

I strive to make sure your pet will feel safe and comfortable and will keep you posted with as many pictures and updates as you’d like. I’m available to care for your pet across the full week - week day or weekends. I’m also remote, so I’m flexible with scheduling based on your needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first! Whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I will always ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and any other safety details.

I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time!

I’m happy to incorporate each pet’s normal routine into our day and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with us. I have a fenced in yard, and we have sidewalks on the neighborhood for easy walks. I can crated your dog if necessary. We will treat your fur baby as our own.
About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! 🐾 If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family while you’re away, I’d love to help! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud cat mom. I currently have a cat of my own, and I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’ve always had animals as a big part of my life. I genuinely love all animals and would be so happy to give your pets some extra love and attention while you’re away. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them a quiet and comfortable place to relax. I know every pet has their own personality and needs. Some want to play all day, some want to be your shadow, and some would prefer to spend most of the day napping somewhere cozy. I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away with photos and messages, because I know it’s much easier to relax when you can see that your baby is happy and doing well. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pet and give them a little home-away-from-home! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can accommodate regular walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship.

When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routine and will follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and anything else they need. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will always take extra care to keep doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes secure.

My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re gone.
“Katie was easy to work with. She sent pictures and took Cooper on two walks, and the last one caught them in a rainstorm. They were drenched! Cooper loved it and I loved how she dried him off and brought him to the truck so we wouldn't have to get out in the rain. She really went above and beyond. I highly recommend Katie!”
“Great communication before and during his stay, sent pics to see how Bear was doing throughout the day. Very clean house and beautiful and safe fenced back yard. Bear had a great time staying there and played with another friendly dog, came home tired. We highly recommend Brittany and will use her services again in the future.”
“Christina was amazing with Max! He was so happy, relaxed, and felt completely at home with her. It’s clear she truly cares for the fur babies she looks after, and Max was comfortable from the very start. I’d highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy.”
“Katherine and her family took such great care of Chili on such short notice! She was very communicative, sent tons of photos and updates, and was all around very pleasant to work with. I’d definitely use her and her family again while in St. Augustine.”
“I DON'T leave Madyson with just anybody. Nycole is such a warm, kind gentle soul. When Madyson met Nycole and Nycole's family on the initial meet and greet, Madyson took an immediate liking to Nycole, Nycole's mom Denise and Nycole's fur babies, Buddy and Angel. So leaving Madyson for a few hours with Nycole gave me a piece of mind knowing Madyson was being well taken care of. I WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING WITH MADYSON. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NYCOLE FOR TAKING CARE OF YOUR FUR BABIES WHEN THE NEED ARISES.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic dog walking service provided by William for my beloved Coco. As a dog owner, finding a reliable and caring walker is crucial, and William has exceeded all expectations!! From day one, William has been incredibly dependable. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, rain or shine. Knowing that Coco is in good hands gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work or school. Communication with William is seamless. He is always responsive to messages, and he proactively updates me on Coco's walks. I appreciate the occasional photos he sends – they brighten up my day and allow me to see Coco enjoying her time with him :) Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend William as a dog walker for any fur parent. His genuine love for dogs, combined with his professionalism and reliability, makes him an outstanding choice. Coco is in great hands with William, and I am grateful to have him as a trusted dog walker. Thank you, William, for providing such exceptional care and love to Coco on her walks!”
“I really appreciate Samantha helping my boy on a last minute notice over the holiday weekend. I was out of town and she was nice enough to feed him and clean up his accident without asking. It was more than just a walk. I would recommend her services if you need someone to look after your dog. I hope to hire her in the future.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle.

About: I work full-time from home and have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior, shy, anxious, and special needs pets. I also have animal rescue experience and am comfortable with medications, special diets, and individualized care. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, and working from home gives me flexibility to fit visits and care into my schedule easily. I’m intuitive with animals and quickly pick up on their moods, personalities, and comfort levels, while keeping their routines familiar and stress free in their home.
“Katie has been a go-to dog walker and dog sitter as well as caretaker for our three cats. Odin is a loving dog with special needs (he has always been mostly blind) and can sometimes take a while to warm up to someone. With Katie this did not take long and he listens to her when its time to get going. Our cats are very selective and we were shocked how quickly the first time she showed up our cats warmed up to her. Overall great experience with her and highly recommend her to anywho who's not traveling at the same time we are :)”
About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.
About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I am fully open and available for any booking, for any period of time, for any amount of pets! The more animals I get to see in a day, the better! I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. Cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, bearded dragons— you name it. I've done pet setting during high school, and now that I'm starting college, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have most experience working with cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and recently had an elder dog for many years. I've volunteered at the humane society for fostering, so I can take care of kittens as well if needed. I have a very open schedule since I just recently graduated. I'm available to come over and check on pets between 9am-9pm any day of the week. I have open availability for house sitting as well, but for more info please feel free to contact me! I always make sure the pets are healthy and happy whenever I see them. I can clean up any messes or accidents they may have made, and I can give medicine in their food or orally. If your pet is a little skittish at first, it's not a problem! I'll let them come to me at their own pace so they won't get scared, and I'll be sure to offer plenty of treats as well.

“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
“Dani is fantastic. Blueberry loves staying at her home, and I feel like she is treated like her child, which makes this mother happy :) I will definitely be bringing my puppers to Dani again and again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”

“Sonia gave me and our fur baby a warm hearted greeting at our initial meet. She took care of Winston (fur baby) as if he was her own. She also provided daily communication with pictures about Winston activities and wellness status.”
“5 stars isn’t enough to express our sincere thank you. We have previously boarded our dog but we hope to never do that again. Danielle was incredible! The communication and pictures were outstanding not to mention the care provided for our dog.”
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog, and great communication with me the whole time! I originally had someone else reserved but got canceled at the last minutes, a few days before my trip. I had to find someone else urgently and Sarah accommodated us. She’ll be my to do sitter!!”
“Stephanie and Justin are very kind people who made us feel comfortable and assured our pup would be loved and cared for. We recieved daily updates and pictures of Junior having a great time playing with their pup. We appreciate your great care and would definitely recommend you both to other people looking to Rover!!!”
“We had a great experience with Labresha! Our dog clearly enjoyed his stay and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
“Lisa was amazing!! We haven’t used a overnight sitter in a while due to our dogs anxiety but as soon as Charli arrived, she felt comfortable! We were so happy to have found her!”
“We are repeat clients and are very grateful for the extra attention and care that Taqueria and her family gave Riley when she became unwell during our out of town trip. She is definitely a patient, caring and responsible!”
