“Marley and her husband were absolutely amazing! My sweet baby was so well taken care of and pampered. As an anxious dog, I always worry about leaving her. But Marley sent picture and video updates throughout her stay, and it was evident how happy Bella was with them. I will definitely be booking with Marley again! Thank you for loving my sweet girl😊”
“Kathy and Roy are the nicest people you can have your pets with. They made my 2 dogs comfortable and send lots of pics and updates about them. Zoey and Charlee had the best time with them .Thanks again Kathy and Roy .”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“Denise and Brett were amazing with Xena. Upon drop off, both asked questions regarding Xena’s specific needs, barriers, etc to make sure she was comfortable and “at home” . I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”
“Second time my dog has stayed with Fran and it was another wonderful experience. She takes such good care and I love the photo updates she sends. Thank you for taking care of Madi!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, Patton. He can be shy and sensitive at first, and she was very patient with him, gave him space, and let him warm up at his own pace. She followed his routine, kept us updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was eating, drinking, going potty, and comfortable. She also understood his needs around other dogs and made sure he had his own space when needed. We were traveling overseas, and her clear communication gave us real peace of mind. We are very grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with Patton again.”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!”
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”
“Corinne was so kind and loving with my dogs! She treated them with such care . I am so thankful for her. She sent updates with pictures which made me feel so at ease, knowing they were in excellent care with her. My dogs were happy there and so well taken care of! Would 1000% ask her to watch my dogs again. Thank you!!!”
“I had a last minute trip and Nathalie was able to assist us flawlessly, her attention and friendly family environment for my little dog was greatly appreciated, my wife and I are grateful that even in times like this there are great families like her's, thank you so much for your assistance.”
“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”
“Carol was great with our german shepherd, Lady May! I could tell my girl was spoiled! She has great communication and flexibility! I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“If we could go higher than 5 stars, we would. Morgan willingly accepted caring for our anxious Aussie after our vet recommended that we find one-on-one care for him, rather than boarding him in a "commercial" facility. Morgan daily sent notes and photos of him at play with other dogs in her care and made sure that he got plenty of exercise as well as a lot of personal attention, petting and loving. Morgan even allowed him to sleep with her, thus continuing to provide the human contact his highly anxious personality craves. He never once needed any of his prescribed anxiety medication! Instead of being super-stressed out when we picked him up, he was happy and calm. Morgan's calmness, care and nurturing is exactly what he needed. We cannot thank her enough for giving us peace of mind during our time spent with family over the holidays.”

“Christine was very communicative. She loved on my kitties well and sent pictures while I was gone. I appreciated her keeping my kitties company while I was gone. Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving our 3 cats with a pet sitter. Christina was absolutely amazing!! She came to meet our kitties before we left to ensure that they were familiar with her, and we could show her around. While we were gone, she loved on our cats and sent daily reports with details on how each was doing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled while we were away. I would highly recommend Christina as your next pet sitter, and we will definitely use her again!”
“I never met Brandon, but my husband Greg did, and he took excellent care of our cat Elliott. It was very comforting to know that Elliott was able to stay in his own home, spend time on the lanai and get his needs met.”
“Tracy was an absolute blessing!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I traveled out of state. I received updates and pictures with each visit. It was so comforting knowing my boys where well taken care of while I couldn't be there. If I ever have to leave them again, I will be sure to rebook Tracy with Rover! Thank you Tracy!!”
“We are so glad we got Tracy again to watch our cats. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of and happy. We won't hesitate to ask Tracy to watch our babies next time we go out of town. Highly recommend her!”
About: I've had cats my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. Sadly, I do not have any pets of my own at the moment (still recovering from losing my 14-year-old dog), but I'd love to watch yours! I have experience with senior cats, diabetic cats, asthmatic cats, kittens - and my sister is a vet, so she is always on call if I have questions (and she has five cats and two dogs herself).
“Allie was great. My kitty Suki who has anxiety loved her, played with her and let her pet her. She even took out the garbage for us without me asking. Allie brought in the mail, sent pics of Suki and watered plants too. Excellent! I highly recommend and will ask for her again.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, so I understand how different each one can be. I have two cats of my own a tabby and a black cat, so I’m used to their routines and making sure they feel comfortable in their space. I’ve fostered a couple of cats and have pet sat for friends and family over the years. That’s taught me patience and how to adjust to each cat’s personality, especially ones that need a little more time to feel safe. I make sure they’re fed, their space is clean, and they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m calm, reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your cat is being well cared for.

“Anne was an excellent day care sitter for Teddy. She used facetime for our meet and great. She asked all the right questions to understand Teddy's needs. She made her home very inviting for Teddy to have an enjoyable stay. She was good about sending updates and pictures for our comfort. She even gave good suggestions on food and other experiences. We recommend her and will request her again.”
“Denise and Brett were fantastic! They looked after our two dogs, who both have no shortage of quirks and personality. They are very knowledgeable about dogs, incredibly patient and understanding, and are very responsive and thorough communicators. We would fully recommend their services!”
About: I have been a pet owner and care taker my whole life i worked as a daycare and boarding facility attendant for 2 years. I own a german Shepard and a dachshund and love them to pieces.

I am versed with dogs with siezures, diabetes, all kinds of behavioral issues. I am a college student who is deeply missing her babies back home. My schedule is very flexible outside of class at the moment so im very excited to meet as many new babies as possible.

About: I've grown up with pets in my home all my life, (until very recently) have always had at least a dog in the family. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from large pit bulls to tiny terriers. I have experience with different stages of life ranging from newborn puppies to deaf and blind elderly dogs. Our whole family has an intense love of animals and nature. I also have experience with house sitting for cats, birds and guinea pigs as well. I have open availability and ability to be flexible with my schedule in regard to drop-ins, walks or boarding. I have a large yard that is not fenced in but have plenty of space to have safe leashed walks along with areas to play. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I have open availability during the week as well as weekends and overnight. I am available to keep your pet at my home as well as reliably come to your home for walks and care. I currently have no other pets in the home. I have multiple dog beds and also a medium size crate on hand along with plenty of dog toys and treats.
“Erin was very accommodating and took great care with Boddie. So appreciate her willingness to take Boddie on short notice for a few hours while we visited someone in an assisted living facility. Definitely recommend Erin and her family to care for your fur baby.”
“Corrina does a wonderful job with Teddy! He is high energy and has separation anxiety but she is able to settle him down and has him sitting on her lap and calm upon return. She is a very nice person and has a comfortable way. Her pet Romey is a very calm loving dog who takes Teddy in stride. We highly recommend Corinna as a sitter in her home.”
About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.
“I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Carol and Butch were amazing, and such a perfect match for our little Squirt. This was my first time using Rover, and they made it such a great experience.

About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.
“Thank you so much for walking Sammi! Sharon was responsible, timely and nice to my dog! She even came by the night before so that she would be able to find our camping site. Thank you again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.
“This was my very first time using Rover and it went great! Brandon met me a few days before we needed him to check in on our dog. I felt so good knowing he had met Xander and I knew immediately our pup was in good hands. Brandon is kind and Xander loved him immediately. We will absolutely ask Brandon to come again.”

About: Hello! My name is Morgan. I am a mom of 3 wonderful boys. We have been fostering and pet sitting for many years. I love animals and I will love your fur baby like it’s my own! I work full time from home. We also have a large property where your fur baby will have plenty of space to be very comfortable! And we go on frequent walks. We have a fenced in yard and patio area. We also have a large screened area for cooler days. And plenty of room for roaming.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. I have also volunteered in animal shelters when I was younger. Before Rover, I was on the site Doggy Vay Cay serving many clients. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I had a family dog, which passed away 3 years ago along with my cat passing away years ago, therefore I love being around animals I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I will play tug of war, give them treats if need be, and run around with them. At this time, I will not be taking care of pets in my own home, but hopefully in the future, I will. I treat animals with respect, as if they were my own loving one.
“Christine was awesome with our dog, Kenji. I booked her a bit last minute and she was so accommodating with stopping by for a meet and greet preset quickly. She came and walked her and played with our cat while Kenji ate her food. Highly recommend her.😊”
About: I've taken care of pets for friends and family for many years. I've done in home pet sitting, dog walking, and boarding. I have also done volunteer work at many different shelters. I graduated high school in May of 2026 and am currently an online college student with lots of free time to walk dogs at any time throughout the day. I care for dogs by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for during every walk and visit. I make sure to pay close attention to what they need, give them plenty of exercise and attention, and always make sure to treat them like they are my own dog.
“Lynda was very positive and supportive of being consistent with the method of training and the cues that Lance has been trained to use. Lance loved her and was well controlled. We're looking forward to our next visit from Lynda.”
“Allie has been amazing and a huge help taking my dog out on daily walks while I work. I HIGHLY suggest booking with allie for anything you may need help with when it comes to your fur babies!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality.

I have a medium sized crate available just in case or if a dog is nervous. I use dog shoes that can fit a variety of breeds so their paw pads don’t get blistered from the hot pavement.

“Kathy and Roy are the nicest people you can have your pets with. They made my 2 dogs comfortable and send lots of pics and updates about them. Zoey and Charlee had the best time with them .Thanks again Kathy and Roy .”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, Patton. He can be shy and sensitive at first, and she was very patient with him, gave him space, and let him warm up at his own pace. She followed his routine, kept us updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was eating, drinking, going potty, and comfortable. She also understood his needs around other dogs and made sure he had his own space when needed. We were traveling overseas, and her clear communication gave us real peace of mind. We are very grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with Patton again.”
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Carol was great with our german shepherd, Lady May! I could tell my girl was spoiled! She has great communication and flexibility! I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“If we could go higher than 5 stars, we would. Morgan willingly accepted caring for our anxious Aussie after our vet recommended that we find one-on-one care for him, rather than boarding him in a "commercial" facility. Morgan daily sent notes and photos of him at play with other dogs in her care and made sure that he got plenty of exercise as well as a lot of personal attention, petting and loving. Morgan even allowed him to sleep with her, thus continuing to provide the human contact his highly anxious personality craves. He never once needed any of his prescribed anxiety medication! Instead of being super-stressed out when we picked him up, he was happy and calm. Morgan's calmness, care and nurturing is exactly what he needed. We cannot thank her enough for giving us peace of mind during our time spent with family over the holidays.”
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“Cindy and Steve are very nice and accommodating, and have a great environment for your dog! They sent us a picture every day, which helped us not miss our dog quite as much. The next time I need doggy boarding, I will look for Cindy and Steve first.”
“Will 100% be using Marcela again! And recommending her to my friends with dogs. Waylon came back so happy and tired. Had a lot of fun running with the other dogs on property! She sent plenty of videos and pictures too!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“Such nice people and a beautiful home and neighborhood! Marybeth even texted me during our dinner to assure me our pup was happy, which I so appreciated. Very convenient to our hotel. ”
“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!!!!”
“Kimber was fabulous with our part human! Ramsey Has only been with us since Covid so it was an adjustment for him. Kimber was great keep us updated on how he was doing on a daily basis. We still appreciate the care in love that she gave to him! Highly recommend Kimber for your dog care needs.”
“I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.”
“Morgan was great to work with. The dogs were well taken care of and from pictures shared, I could tell they were very comfortable in her home. I was dealing with some weather related travel issues and I appreciated her communication and flexibility.”
“Erin sat with my dog for a week. We felt very comfortable with Erin. From the outset she demonstrated a knowledgeable understanding of the care that dogs require and a real love for animals. We plan to use her in future. Mel Schuyler”
“This was our first experience with a dog sitter and Suzanne was phenomenal! She had great communication throughout the process, was very easy to work with, and was accommodating to all our dogs needs. Our dog, Rosie, was all smiles when we picked her up and it was obvious she was well taken care of during her stay. We have zero reason to use anyone else in the future. I would definitely recommend Suzanne if you need a sitter.”
“Linda did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I’ve never boarded them before and am I happy I tried it. Nice to know that they are not alone and get loved on just as if they were at home. She sent pictures and video to show that they were doing great. I plan on using Linda everytime we need a sitter.”
“Monica is incredible! We were worried about our dog’s resource aggregation around other dogs. Monica made sure all the dogs were safe and even managed to give our dog treats with the other dogs with no incidents. All the pictures she sent showed how happy our Bella was being around other dogs. We are amazed at how great Bella’s stay was with Monica!!!!! We highly recommend her for safe and happy visits or long stays. Bella was there for 11 nights. She was so happy that we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. Thank you Monica for being such a perfect standin Mom to our girl!!!”
“My golden retriever Toby came back happy and well-rested! Marianna is super nice and quick to communicate, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time. Highly recommended!”
