“Beth was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Thor and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of her own family. Thor came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication. We would be delighted to book with Beth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“I have used Fran a number of times to take care of my cat. She is caring, responsible and I know Carlisle is well taken care of . She sends me daily updates with photos which is much appreciated. She is an excellent petsitter that I highly recommend.”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“We left our shy dog with viktoryia for 3 weeks when we were out of the country. My dog is a rescue and while a sweet girl, she only likes one person - me. She did very well because Victoryia has a way with dogs. She sent some pictures and videos and I could tell my shy little dog felt right at home. Your dear dog will be in good hands at this lovely rover home.”
“Cindey and Steve took amazing care of my dog Lulu. From the moment I left her with them, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me and gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like their own. Lulu looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I’m very grateful for the care they gave her and I would absolutely trust them with Lulu again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“She was awesome! She stayed communicating at all times made sure my puppy was comfortable. Sent lots of videos and pics. I’ll definitely book with her again! Recommend 💯”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“My dog Chip just had his second stay with James. He immediately got excited when we arrived and was excited to go inside. That’s all the reassurance I needed. My pup is happy arriving and upon pick up. Thanks for caring for my sweet boy!”
“I’m 100% sure my golden doodle loved her stay with Thelma and her husband! Thelma helped my girl to realize she could swim, and taught her to find the stairs to get out of the pool. It was so nice to get pictures of my doodle while I was out of town, so reassuring that my girl was enjoying her stay. And there were other dogs there for her to play with, good time for an only dog. I am happy to recommend Thelma, and I’m sure I will book with her again.”
“Cyndee was fantastic! She took great care of Rocket, my dachshund mix, while I was out of town for a weekend trip. She updated us throughout the weekend, and most importantly kept him an extra day after my flight home was cancelled. That definitely took a huge weight off my shoulders. Plus, Rocket had a blast!”
“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”
“Audrey and Joseph are always the first place I check when I need a sitter! They do a great job of making my pup feel welcome and send daily photos. Trust them 100% with my fur baby.”
About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them.

About: Hi! I’ve had my own cat for the past four years, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your cat. They’re family, and leaving them with someone else can be stressful! I’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means playtime and cuddles, keeping them company, or simply giving them space if they’re more independent. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. 🐱❤️
“Highly recommend Nevaeh! I felt more at ease using this app for the first time and leaving my pups overnight. She provided updates and included pics every drop in. Would 100% use her again 🤍”
“Emma is the BEST! She was available extremely last minute when my husband and I had to go out of town for a family emergency. She still found time in her day to make sure she did a meet and greet to meet our babies before we left. The whole time we were away she was sending us pictures and staying in communication with us so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Leaving your pets while traveling can be stressful but Emma truly made sure we had nothing to worry about! We have a newly diagnosed diabetic cat and she made sure he got his insulin twice a day. Your pets are in great hands with Emma, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Nicole is by far the best sitter that I have worked with on rover. She is extremely respectful and responsible but was also flexible to Mishu and I’s needs. She is very sweet and got Mishu to warm up to her a lot. I knew my cat loved her because when I came home she didn’t seem scared or anxious as if she had felt lonely while I was gone. The house was left absolutely perfect and spotless. What a wonderful experience! Thank you Nicole, you are welcome back anytime.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has its own unique personality and boundaries. Whether your cat wants active playtime with wand toys or just prefers quiet company while keeping their distance, I adapt to their comfort level. I'm dependable with daily feeding routines, fresh water, and thorough litter box maintenance.
“Christina is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely rebook with her again! My pets are a little shy and sometimes standoff-ish but they warmed up to her. She took great care of them! I loved getting to see the photos of my pets throughout the weekend. Christina is wonderful!!”
About: For the past 3 years, I’ve been caring for cats and quickly fell in love with them after a sweet cat was left behind at the house I moved into. Since then, I’ve gained a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s providing playtime, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them space when they need it, I’m dedicated to making sure cats feel comfortable and cared for. With my experience, you can have peace of mind knowing your feline friends are in good hands while you’re away.
About: I have four cats on my own and have worked with several rescues, fostering cats, and dogs in my home and volunteering in the shelters. If your animal prefers a private space I have an office they can stay in.
About: I have had cats even longer than I have kept dogs. My first cat was adopted for me at 5 years old. I am mindful of cats with quirks and understand many do. Feeding, medicating and litterbox cleaning are no new task to me. I would love to meet your kitties!
About: Caring for cats comes naturally to me, and I understand their unique personalities and needs. I love all kinds of cats and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have been fostering kittens through the Humane Society for 5 years, and have lots of love for cats. I have cat sitting experience as well as have had my own cats my whole life. Whether your cat is super independent or a people-lover, I would love to take care of them!
“She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND the duty of care! She not only loved my pup and gave her ample attention, but she helped with some reptile care. Always gave updates in both words and pictures that helped ease the mind. 10/10 would recommend!”

Agradecido por recibir a nuestro Milo. Comunicación muy buena y su casa, con patio, muy acogedora. Recomiendo 100% a Yeini por el cuidado de tu mascota.”
“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I am patient, responsible, and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their families are away. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits during the week and on weekends. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care your pet may need. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away. I am attentive to their behavior and needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Brianna was so great with Fin. He had a long traveling car to Sarasota and was exhausted. Lots of new places for him. She was very good with him which was such a relief for me, as I never left him with anyone before.”
“Jewell is a jewel! She took perfect care of my 15 year-old 10 lb fog. She is attentive, understands dogs, caring, and even after our first visit, I know I can trust her with my little old soul Zorro completely.”
About: I have a small dog, Bichon Frise. She’s 6 years old. Before her I was working a caregiver and always was walking my client’s dogs. I’m currently working from home and have ability to take care of your dog. I live in townhouse at the safe community and it’s easy to walk here I have my baby - Bichon Frise who is 6 years old. She’s very friendly. My backyard is fenced, but it’s just for small dogs.
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.
“Alyssa was great and accommodating!! Our pup was so loved and cared for. She helped us out last minute and our buddy said he had a great time☺️would def recommend!”
“This was my first time booking with Stephanie. I am visiting from out of town. She kept my 2 Cavaliers for the day and all went very well. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day. They got outside time in the big fenced back yard and they were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I was very satisfied and will book again.”

About: Hi, my name is Arielle :) I work from Home, we have a single family house with a fenced in yard. I have professional pet sitting experience for a company that services Pinellas County but I moved to Sarasota. Since working for a Professional Pinellas County pet sitting company named Calling All Dogs, I developed a deep love for this type of work and am now available for full time sitting and care as a professional independent contractor. My personal/family experience with dogs and cats has been my entire life. We've had dogs and cats in my family since I was born; basically every member of my extended family even had dogs and cats. Our pack was always consisting of strays and adoptees, some of whom came with medications and emotional issues, and so I am comfortable taking care of pets with medical and psychological conditions. I believe I stand out from other sitters and groomers because I really have a passion to develop a friendship and connection to the pets I care for. I know we as the parents of these guys call upon pet specialists in times of need and I am very happy to give lots of love and comfort to your babies while they are in my care. Communication is very important to me as I know it is crucial to you- I would be the same way and completely understand! So I make it a point to respond to messages or phone calls ASAP. If you have any questions, I'm open! Happy to hear from you! - Arielle :)

I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!”

We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training.

About: My goal is to keep dogs happy and healthy and to give the owners peace. I have been dog sitting for 3 years and taking care of all different types of animals for over 6 years! It brings me joy when I get to take care of dogs to help provide mental and physical enrichment when their owners are not able!

I will make time for multiple walks a day because I enjoy the time outside and getting the dogs exercise! When staying with you dog I would make sure to take them out multiple times a day whether that's in the back fenced yard or on a walk to give them exercise and to go potty!

While we were gone our dog had a little accident and she cleaned it up for us and made sure there was not a stain left on our new rug! We would definitely recommend Emma and plan to use her services again!”
About: I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, a shelter foster volunteer, and a proud cat mom to a very opinionated Siamese named Mimi. I've fostered four puppies with medical needs, so I'm comfortable with extra care, medication routines, and lots of patience. Whether your pet is a zoomie-powered puppy, a senior looking for a comfy nap spot, or a cat who demands attention on their own terms, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Plenty of cuddles, playtime, photo updates, and treats (if approved by their humans!) included. I graduated from Vanderbilt for my master degree in May 2025, and moved to Sarasota in Sep 2025. I work fully remote in Healthcare so I will be at home all the time. I can do after 6PM for drop in visit on weekdays and all day on weekends:) Me and my partner live in a large 2b2b apartment, along with our cat Mimi. We only do cat boarding and one cat at a time:)
About: I've had my fair share of childhood pets since I was born, from cats and dogs to reptiles and birds. Every pet I've ever met holds a special place in my heart, and I'm hoping your fur-baby will be next! I work full time, but I have after 2 o'clock off every day, which leaves more than enough time to check on your pets! I've worked with free-roaming dogs, fenced in yards, and crate-trained dogs. Relatives of mine have left the care of their dogs and cats to me more than once. I ensure that dogs are walked at least twice a day, and fed at their regular times.
About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls—and I’ve been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel loved and safe, and I pride myself on being dependable, even on short notice. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I’ve got the skills and commitment to keep your pets happy and healthy. My goal is for you to have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of no matter where you are. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences.

For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment, offering plenty of space for relaxation, play, and comfort. I ensure they have access to all their essentials and, most importantly, lots of love and attention!
About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.
“Highly recommend Crysta’s services! Took great care of my pup! She was punctual, and spent at least 30 minutes with him with his daily walks for the week. I will definitely use her again when I need her services in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm someone who genuinely loves spending time with dogs, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or extra time to stop and sniff every tree, I'll tailor each walk to their personality, energy level, and needs. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, so my goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and stress free. I'll always prioritize your pet's comfort, follow your care instructions carefully, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, I'm patient, attentive, and committed to creating a positive experience every time. And... I know all the great walking paths in the Meadows! I can't wait to meet your best friend and become someone they get excited to see at the door! I'm available! I live in the Meadows and know all the great walkways! If you live in the area, I can help with your dog! My dog is the most important thing in my life! And .. I know you feel the same about your dog. Each walk is special and an important part of a healthy pet.
“Jose and Alexis are the best dog walkers I’ve had the experience working with. I’m currently recovering from surgery and they went above and beyond in taking care of Luna. They made sure she got all of her energy out so that I could recover without worrying about her getting all the exercise she needed. I will continue using Jose and Alexis for all my dog walking needs as long as they are available.”
About: I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for dogs — from my own family pets to friends’ and neighbors’ pups. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. When my family got a puppy five years ago, I helped with basic training and routines, so I understand the patience and consistency that takes. I’ve also cared for older dogs who needed a little extra attention, including giving medications and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra love and playtime, I make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and loved. I work from home as a graphic designer, which gives me a really flexible schedule. I love taking breaks throughout the day to get outside, enjoy some sunshine, and go for walks — and having a dog along makes it even better! It’s the perfect balance of work and fresh air, and I always make sure each walk or visit fits smoothly into my routine so your pup gets my full attention. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own familiar space. I take time to follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. At home, I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly environment, which means visiting pups can enjoy fresh air and playtime when needed. My priority is always safety, consistency, and making sure every dog feels happy and relaxed.

“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Cindey and Steve took amazing care of my dog Lulu. From the moment I left her with them, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me and gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like their own. Lulu looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I’m very grateful for the care they gave her and I would absolutely trust them with Lulu again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”
“My dog had an amazing experience with Tina and her dog, Tahoe. I will 100% be bringing my pup over again for boarding. Tina is a great communicator who made it very easy to meet her and book. She clearly knows dogs and dog behavior well. Tahoe is a sweet dog, who got along so well with mine. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup for the first time because her house is set up well for animals, and she has a great routine for dogs set up. Tina sent regular messages, so I knew my dog was doing great. I was so happy with her service. I would heartily recommend her to anyone.”
“So very happy to have found Audrey & Karson. Knowing that my anxious dogs are well taken care of is such a relief. I'm torn about giving them a good review because I want to keep them for myself. :)”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”
“Asya and family are wonderful! They all come running out to greet Yogi and I when we get there, and can tell they are really excited to have him. Asya is timely with updates, and really easy to work with. Can't recommend enough!”
About: I’m very active who works from home with my own 1.5yr old Lab who’s an absolute angel with no mean bone in his body. There is a large dog park 30 yards from my apartment and a large lake your dogs will get to enjoy plenty as I always aim for 15k steps a day. I watch another large Lab and Golden frequently so very used to handling large, strong dogs! I work from home Monday through Friday and always up by 7am. I take my dog on a long morning walk, lunch and evening with dog park visits sprinkled in between. I along with your dogs love to get sun and fresh air as often as possible. I use the apartment gym for 45min daily and have a Furbo camera to view dogs. My place is 1,005 sq ft inside always cold from the Florida heat with a large fenced in dog park just 30yds from me your dogs will enjoy multiple times a day! I understand how nice it is for a dog to have fun and get all their energy out so you can have extra relaxation and peace of mind!
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”
“Can’t say enough positive things about our first experience with Amelia! Very accommodating—she even kept him an extra night when I miscalculated our booking! Sent lots of photos and we could see our pup was comfortable with her and her dog. Will be using her again every chance we get!”
“Jeffrey and Stephanie are fantastic dog sitters — I couldn't recommend them more highly! From the very first meet-and-greet, they were warm, attentive, and clearly dog people through and through. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout every stay, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and having a great time. My dog absolutely adores them. It's such a relief to have sitters I trust completely — they treat my dog like family. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Such a lovely home for dogs. Donna is extremely helpful, kind, and shared lots of pictures along the way. We would highly recommended her and will also use their services again!”
