“Joshua took amazing care of our dog Mya while we were away. From the start, they were super responsive and made sure to accommodate everything we needed. During Mya’s stay, Joshua kept us in the loop with regular updates and cute photos, which really put our minds at ease knowing she was doing well. Plus, when our plans changed last minute, they were totally flexible and made everything stress-free for us. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again next time we need a sitter!”
“I cannot express how grateful we are that we found Cece, she is always our #1 choice if she is available. I get updates everyday on how Cash is doing and he has such a great time when he goes over there. He stayed about a week this time and she even gave him a bath which I was so thankful for after getting home from a long trip. I cannot recommend her enough, thank you Cece!”
“Would highly recommend Kristin! She sent a lot of updates and my dogs seemed to be having a great time the entire time they were in her care. Everyone in her family is a dog lover so there was no shortage of attention to go around. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Maxine. The love & care she takes is evident the minute you walk through her door. The daily pictures & updates made it so easy to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was being doted on to the max. We will absolutely be repeat clients!”
“I was very lucky to find Sofia to watch my puppy Ruby. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Ruby was being taken care of quite well and that they had a lot of fun together. Normally when Ruby is with someone else in a strange environment, she doesn't eat normally, but judging by what was left over, she pretty much ate normally. I will definately ask Sofia to watch Ruby the next time I go on vacation and need a dog sitter.”
“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”
“Hermun was amazing! (As well as her trusted assistant, Riley - her adorable Beagle). She met with me before I booked and let Macie explore her home and check compatibility with our dogs. She would send me daily pictures and was very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I wasn’t worried about Macie’s happiness or safety. She has a great back yard which is protected and gated allowing Macie to enjoy the outdoors. I will absolutely rely on Hermun and Riley for future visits.”
“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”
“My Khloe had a great stay with Madisyn. I felt very comfortable when I left her in her care. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which I appreciate it. I look forward to using Madisyn for future boarding”
“Amazing sitter was looking for someone last minute because we had no one to watch our dog. She took him in. He got to play with her dog and spend an amazing day while we had a fun day at Busch Gardens.”
“Kory was great and provided wonderful updates! Jack is reactive with other dogs, and Kory handled him very well. Jack seemed completely relaxed when I picked him up!”
“It’s people like Seaura that make Life better for everyone else. I was in a crunch trying to find someone at the last minute to keep my babies so we can attend my son’s high school graduation an hour from our home. Seaura answered my request quickly and graciously and I immediately got great vibes during our conversation! She welcomed both my pups with open arms for the last two days and they were happy to be with her. Her home was lovely and she kept me abreast of the “goings on”. I would chose Seaura any time we are in her area again!”
“Nicole was a wonderful host and sitter for my 1-yr old cat. She was also very accommodating when I had a travel delay on my return home. Above all, I really appreciate that she was patient with Bella, who can be a little shy and timid at times. She was even able to get her to snuggle on the couch! I would definitely hire Nicole for future pet sitting :)”
“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“Celine and her fiancé were absolutely amazing. Above and beyond. Felt so comfortable leaving my small kitten and puppy in her/their care. 10/10 would recommend. She’s soooo sweet, attentive, caring and communicative. Cannot leave a glowing enough review. Thank you so much!!!”
“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”
“There are sitters who are doing this to make a living, and there are sitters who take care of pets because they love and care for pets. Shayna does love and care for pets under her care. We got daily pictures, updates and our dog was happy, happy all the time. We absolutely will take Rosie back to Shayna and we totally recommend her.”
“Martyna was the best!! Will definitely rebook! She was super responsive, sent update pictures while we were gone and asked questions to make sure everything was set. Our dog had a great time with her and was super happy!”
“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”

“Emma is my go-to for my girls, Snap and Pompom. She has never once let me down. I come back from a trip and my girls are just as good, if not better, than I left them. She doesn't mind the odd request like bringing in the garage bin and handles instructions beautifully.”
“Oh my gosh Jenna was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cat Tiki, my cat was going through a medical situation throughout the time Jenna was watching her and she handled it so well and I came back from vacation to a much healthier cat! I’m so impressed by her communication and tender care towards my cat. I will hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anybody!”
“Knowledgeable and kind to my kitties. They seemed to really warm up to you! He even brought our packages in for us!! It was our first time ever using rover so we were nervous. But we were put at ease because he was just so chill!”
“Valerie was so sweet with Diego! Responds very quickly, great w communication, took great photos! Having peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands is priceless. Thank you ❤️”
“Tina was so sweet and super attentive to my cat! It can be tough finding a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter, but you can definitely count on her for being there to give all the love and care to your pet while you’re away. :)”
“I would highly recommend Rachel! I felt very at easy allowing her in my home and taking care of my pets. She was very kind and loving to my two cats while I was away on vacation. She communicated well when there was a need and left my home just the way I left it!”
“Jordan did a great job with our kitties! We were nervous about going away for first time but they were both happy when we got back and well taken care of. Thank you Jordan! We hope to book again!”
“Bekah is the best! She always goes above and beyond, is very flexible, and sends the cutest updates about my boy. I can tell she really enjoys spending time with him, and he’s much less stressed when I return home after being away. I’m so grateful to have found her!!”
“Amazing as always! Natalie is so sweet and very responsible. I love getting the cute pictures of my kitty getting all kinds of love while I am away. Thank you again!”
“Alina thought of everything while dropping in on our dog & cat while we were away! Both our animals and our home was well taken care of by Alina we were so grateful to have her doing check-ins, we had great communication and our fur babies received plenty of love and treats!”
“AJ was very attentive to my kitties. We were gone on vacation for a week and he made sure the kitties were taken care of and litter boxes cleaned and even unexpectedly cleaned up the litter that got sprinkled outside the boxes and the unfortunate hair balls. Very much appreciated and will definitely book him again for our next vacation!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently own three that rule my household. I have worked with cats in animal shelters, giving meds, working with behavioral problems, etc. I’ve worked with senior cats and baby cats, all ages are welcome!
“Bethany was amazing with our two kitties! She always takes great care of them and communicates updates about our boys each time we travel. Highly recommend her taking care of your fur babies!”
“I felt at compete ease with Samantha watching my cat. She was prompt and kept me notified. And my cat that is very shy but did warm up to her. I would highly recommend her care.”
“Theresa was amazing! She came 3 times daily to care for our two small dogs and two cats, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. I was honestly pretty nervous going into this, since we’ve only ever had family in our home to watch our pets. But her calm, reassuring presence immediately put us at ease. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and sent great updates and photos while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy pets, which says it all. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Marisa is the absolute best. I’ve never been happier with a sitter. She is so good with my very anxious dog who takes awhile to warm up and my kitties all love her too! She went above and beyond. Even accepted a last minute drop in request because our flight was delayed. Highly recommend! I hope she’s available every time I need a sitter. Thanks SO much, Marisa!!”
“I had such a stress free trip thanks to Sophia!! She was in communication daily and sent the sweetest pics. It was obvious my cat fell in love with her! Thank you Sophia!”

“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”

We couldn't have found a better sitter to take care of our dog!! 100% Recommended!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Jade, and I offer personalized, pet care from my home. I live with my husband, teenage son, our dog Zoey, and three cats, so your pet gets plenty of attention while still enjoying a relaxed, home-style environment. I’m home throughout the day, which means pets staying with me get lots of companionship and aren’t routinely left alone for long periods. I also keep my bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention, walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of photo updates while they’re with me. For boarding and daycare, I’m best suited for dogs who are comfortable around other pets and can settle into a home environment. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I love learning what helps them feel most comfortable and at home. Whether your dog wants to play, go for walks, lounge nearby, or curl up for a nap, I’m happy to follow their lead and keep their stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medications, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give your pet safe, loving, dependable care and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like one of our own. I’m home throughout most of the day, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and company. My schedule is generally very flexible, but I do appreciate a heads-up for drop-offs, pick-ups, and visit times so I can plan around errands, appointments, and other bookings. Good communication helps everything run smoothly and makes transitions easier for everyone! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family while still following the routines and boundaries they’re used to at home. I keep bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and keep a close eye on how everyone is getting along. Dogs get regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of downtime. I supervise interactions with my own pets and make sure everyone has space to relax when they need it. Feeding, medications, crate routines, and other care instructions are followed based on each pet’s normal schedule. For drop-ins and walks, I’m respectful of your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box care, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. Most importantly, I pay attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality rather than expecting every animal to interact or behave the same way.
“Honestly, the most amazing pet sitters ever! I’ve used them many times now, and every single experience has been incredible. They always go above and beyond, even accepting my last-minute booking requests whenever they can. They send frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. He absolutely loves staying with them, and I never have to worry while I’m away. It’s such a relief to have people I completely trust to care for my dog. I couldn’t recommend them more, and they’ll always be my first choice for pet sitting!”
About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Matt did a great job with my pup for day care! I love that he provided updates with pictures/videos. He also responded very quickly to messages which was super appreciated.”
“We had SUCH a good experience leaving our dog, Berry, with Jenna and her fur babies for daycare! Jenna was super responsive to my messages and took excellent care of my girl. When I picked her up, Berry was happy, tired, and looked like she wouldn’t mind staying at daycare forever. I loved that Jenna had a few pups at her home so that Berry had lots of fun playing with friends all day. Everything on Berry’s schedule (meals, walks, treats, etc.) was done just like I asked! I highly recommend Jenna to watch your fur babies. She did the best job I could have asked for with mine.”

“Chante was great! We needed someone to watch our 6 month old puppy for a couple of days of daycare and our pup had a great time! She played all day in Chante’s large fenced in backyard with Makeda and came home happy and sleepy! Chante was super accommodating of our schedules and super quick to respond throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pups!”
“Alex is so easy to work with! I originally connected with Alex in hopes that I could find an occasional weekend sitter but he takes such good care of Shadow that I am using him even on my week days while I go into the office or have errands. I highly recommend.”
“Lynne and Michael are so sweet and caring, our boy was so happy he almost didn't want to leave. Communucation was amazing during the planning stage and the stay itself”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats, mostly German Shephards, and I currently have a 2 year old cat named Willow and a 9 year old scruffball named Pichu. I also have experience with axolotls, turtles, rodents/rabbits, and fish, in case you have other pets that also need attending to while you are away. I am also happy to do additional tasks like collect mail, water plants, and other small things you may need done in your home while you are away from it and your pets. I work part time at Health Mutt in Seminole Heights and have extensive knowledge and connections in the holistic food and grooming world. Let’s talk! I work from home and can take breaks as often as needed to take care of any animals in my care, especially for walks and play time I have one dog that loves to play with any other dogs, and my cat can be secured as necessary. I am happy to let dogs out or take them for walks.
“Cynthia was super accommodating and made finding a trustworthy, dependable sitter such an ease! She was very kind and attentive to my pup Maya, spending extra time to make sure she was comfortable and cared for. I’m so grateful to have found a sitter like Cynthia and highly recommend her!”
About: I ensure that you will be overly satifised with your experience with me as your pet sitter. I do everything as I am told, and even willing to help out with things in the house when I am there if needed. If you forget to do laundry or do the dishes before you have left, those are things I can do for you as well with no hesitation! I've had experience caring for dogs for 6 years and counting. I've cared for small up to large dogs, more than one at a time as well. I make sure the dog/dogs get everything they need as well as love and even cuddles! I treat them just like family,as if they were my own paw-some dog. :)

“Emma and her husband were great! Our dog is elderly and has had some health complications and they were so kind and patient with him. We will definitely be working with them in the future!”
“Celine has walked our golden doodle a few times now and she has been extremely kind and accommodating. She is always flexible if plans have changed and our doodle loves her! Will continue to use her for walks ☺️”
“Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!”

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs for the past few years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable.
About: Started dog-walking/-sitting in my pre-teens. Owned 3 dogs during this time (two part-Lab and one Great Dane. All rescues). Kept a small, growing business which consisted of walking or being paid to stay a week with a dog. This continued until early 20s. Have since continued to sit family's, friends', and family friends' dogs over the years. No matter the size or breed I always manage to find a friend in new dogs. Epileptic, old, and those requiring medicine are not a problem. Whether or not they adhere to commands isn't a problem. I've had very obedient dogs and known many that ran the house. Either way, we'll get along fine. I'm only out of the house for 6 hours at most. My old lady used to need a lot of attention, so I'm used to life revolving around a dog upon entry, before leaving, and taking a break every 30 minutes to give some love. Private back lawn. I have a designated spot in a public walkway for food and water but can move as needs depict. Doors to back rooms are shut when not being used. Nothing heavy or sharp that can fall or come in contact with your pet. I had a 17.5 year old so the house was made as safe as possible for her.
“Jordan did a great job updating me and sending very cute pictures of my pup! Marlin is a ball of energy and she did a great job getting some of his energy out. She was very easy to work with as well :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.

About: Hi! I’m Nikki. I’ve lived with dogs of all sizes my whole life and have been providing pet care for several years. I’m a true dog enthusiast who also studies canine behavior and training—so I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on keeping them safe, relaxed, and set up for success while they’re with me. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m comfortable supporting basic manners and routine-based training during a stay (sit, down, leash manners, calm greetings, etc.). I’m also very familiar with crate training and can help keep your dog’s home routine consistent—whether they’re crated at night, have structured rest breaks, or need extra support settling in a new environment. My goal is simple: your dog feels secure, enriched, and cared for—and you feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care is a consistent part of my weekly routine. I’m home most of the day and plan my schedule around feeding, potty breaks, walks, and supervised outdoor time. I’m able to accommodate most drop-off/pick-up times with a little notice, and I keep dogs on a structured daily routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are always supervised and brought inside as needed (weather, energy level, or comfort). My home is structured and calm. I can offer private time and separation at any point, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routines and boundaries. Dogs can sleep crated, in a safe room, or in another arrangement you prefer. I also have two stable, friendly medium-sized dogs. If your dog enjoys social time, we can do carefully managed introductions and supervised play. If your dog prefers space—or does best as a solo guest—I can absolutely accommodate that too. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and anxiety, and I aim to make your dog’s stay peaceful and predictable.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Serena Is Wonderful! Serena has been amazing with our Lab, Rebel, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She’s incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and Rebel absolutely loves his time with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and brings such a calm, positive energy. One thing we appreciate most is how dependable she is — Serena is always willing to step in and help whenever we need extra support, which has been such a lifesaver for us. Her communication and reliability are top-notch, and we always feel confident knowing Rebel is in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Serena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker — we’ll definitely keep using her!”
About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
About: We are self-employed and work from our house with Georgia, our 9 lb poodle. Our home has a fenced in yard and is safe and secure. Your pup will have plenty of room to run and play! We take walks every day and are happy to bring your fur baby along. We promise to love and care for your pet like you do. We request that you bring your own food, so your pet's diet stays stable, and a blanket or bed to make them feel at home.
About: Hi, I'm Geilynn—29 years old and a proud medical student at NSU. I was on Rover for six years before taking a little break to focus on my studies, and now I’m really happy to be back! As someone who loves animals of all kinds, your pet will always be treated with lots of love and attention whenever they’re with me. Growing up with two dogs and now caring for a sweet cat named Mila, I have plenty of experience, especially with senior dogs that need special care and medication. I’m comfortable giving medications and shots, making sure your pet’s needs are fully met. I know how tough it can be to trust someone new, because I’ve been in your shoes. When I had to travel, I’d board my dogs at a kennel, but I often felt they didn’t get the personal attention they truly deserved. Since becoming a Rover sitter, I realize how much better their care could have been, and I wish I had discovered Rover earlier! Right now, my schedule is quite flexible, so I can easily provide multiple walks and drop-in visits right at your home. A Meet and Greet at least 24 hours before booking will help your pet feel comfortable and happy with me. I genuinely understand how much your pet means to you, and I promise to treat them like family. I’ll send you adorable pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away. As a fourth-year medical student, I enjoy a surprisingly flexible schedule that leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m excited about the chance to step out of my routine and visit your pet, something I know we’ll both look forward to. I will treat your pet as if they were my own, ensuring their routine remains unchanged so they stay comfortable and relaxed, just like when you are there.

About: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.

“Joshua took amazing care of our dog Mya while we were away. From the start, they were super responsive and made sure to accommodate everything we needed. During Mya’s stay, Joshua kept us in the loop with regular updates and cute photos, which really put our minds at ease knowing she was doing well. Plus, when our plans changed last minute, they were totally flexible and made everything stress-free for us. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again next time we need a sitter!”

I was in a crunch trying to find someone at the last minute to keep my babies so we can attend my son’s high school graduation an hour from our home. Seaura answered my request quickly and graciously and I immediately got great vibes during our conversation! She welcomed both my pups with open arms for the last two days and they were happy to be with her. Her home was lovely and she kept me abreast of the “goings on”. I would chose Seaura any time we are in her area again!”

My worries quickly disappeared on day one, when Jessica sent updates and photos of Ginger making herself at home. Ginger loved the entire family and was doted on by Jessica, her two wonderful children, and her husband. Jessica was very communicative throughout Ginger's stay and sent regular updates and photos. I cannot thank them enough for taking such great care of Ginger while I was gone and am thrilled she has a second home to go to whenever I'm away. Ginger will definitely be staying with Jessica and her family again!”
