“Thank you Thomas and Lyndsay for taking care of our girl for three weeks! Loved the pictures that were sent every couple of days. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that she was safe and being well cared for. Thank you for your services. Looking forward to future visits.”
“If I could leave a 10 star review I would. Gulcin was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She accommodated me at the last minute practically. She did more for my dog than what I asked her to do. She's fantastic with animals, and to see my dog enjoying himself with her gave me so much peace. I am looking forward to having her take care of my dog again in the next few days. She's absolutely fantastic.”
“Vetra was amazing with my girls and I highly recommend her! I have already rebooked for a second stay. Vetra kept my girls on their routine and sent me pictures and messages to let me know they were doing well. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that they were being well loved and cared for while I was gone.”
“Cynthia and her family are amazing! Cynthia was in contact with me daily for updates and pictures. She made sure my dog was well taken care of and felt right at home. I highly recommend Cynthia for any and all future visits. She and her family will take care of your dog like they are their own and make you feel more than comfortable about leaving your pup for a few days!”
“Tia was great with both of my dogs. She sent many pictures and made me feel more at ease while I was out of town. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again!”
“Tracy did a great job with our elderly boston terrier. She sent a video of our dog with a few other fur friends getting a late night treat. I like how she made each dog feel special and part of the team. Tracy is also organized and worked well with our schedule. Thank you Tracy for everything!”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“This was our first experience with a pet sitter. Sandra did a wonderful job with our boy. She sent us pictures and gave us frequent updates. I would recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring place for their furry family members.”
“My dog is a Sr and takes meds and Karen was attentive to her pill schedule. I had written detailed instructions for my pups daily schedule and Karen understood because she had a dog a long time ago that took similar meds . She sent pix and texts. My dog was happy in Karen home when I returned . Big thanks !”
“Lori allowed me to book on the same day, the day before thanksgiving, after i had determined my original boarding option would not be a good fit for my dog! she accommodated all of his needs, which werent many, but still, she asked all the right questions for my pup making sure she was well prepared for him staying. A very nice person who i absolutely leave my dog with again. 10/5 stars if i could. I am extremely thankful for Lori and this day of giving Thanks!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“XIAO IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. She is super kind and flexible. My dog (Ollie) is very particular and a bit high maintenance, but Xiao knew exactly knew what to do since she has her own dogs and taken care of dog all her life. Xiao has 3 dogs of her own, you can tell that she treats them well and will treat your dog like her own. Something came up during my trip and I had to reschedule my pickup time, and Xiao was more than accommodating. Highly recommended especially for worry wort mothers like me haha Thank you again 11/10 would recommend!”
“Ashlee was an excellent choice to watch our dogs. We dropped them off after a 2 day, 18 hour drive from Indiana as we are moving to Florida. We were afraid that they would be confused, etc. They were making friends with other dogs in 5 minutes. Ashlee’s flexibility was so appreciated. Highly recommend.”
“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt confident they were in great hands. Throughout my weekend trip, I received regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was friendly, communicative, and clearly cared about my dogs’ well-being. The photos showed them looking comfortable, relaxed, and happy, and when I picked them up, they were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious she treats the pets in her care with kindness and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again in the future!”
About: All I've ever known since childhood was dogs, they've been a constant part of my time here on earth and helped to foster my love for all animals. Throughout my life I've always helped take care of family members pets as well as my friend's pets and it has always been a source of joy. Over the years I've cared for a variety of animals spanning different amounts of time. Be it my Uncle's dog for a weekend or a family friend's house, dog, cat, 6 chickens, and 4 ducks for a couple months I can help accommodate any need you may have and I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently back from college and am working part time. I'll have more than enough free time to accommodate your busy schedule and meet whatever needs you and your pets may have! I have a fenced yard, a pool, and a very sweet little dog who loves company. With a very spacious car and a personal fondness for hiking I can take your pet on nature excursions or to vet appointments. If needed, I can easily separate pets for feeding or quiet time to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable in their own space.
“We had never boarded our dogs before, and I had some anxiety about the process. From the beginning, Alain alleviated my concerns as he communicated early and often about the process. We set up a meeting in person before we left and brought our little dog along. Upon meeting Alain and his lovely family, I knew our pups were in good hands, so we could enjoy our trip without concerns. Alaim had printed out our instructions and was clearly prepared for their arrival. During our trip, he posted photos and videos every day we were gone so we could see how our dogs were doing, and they clearly were healthy and happy. Any question or concern I had, I received an immediate response. I highly recommend Alain, and if we travel again would not hesitate to book him again.”
“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”

“Patricia is the very best! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my cats were well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Highly recommend!”
About: I bring hands-on rescue experience into every pet I care for. As a cat rescue director, I’ve worked with everything from fragile bottle babies to shy, under-socialized cats and seniors with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for subtle health changes, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets who need extra patience. What really sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and adapt quickly—whether that means giving a nervous pet space, engaging a high-energy puppy, or providing gentle, consistent care for seniors. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them. I also treat every home and pet like my own, keeping routines consistent, communication clear, and sending regular updates so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away.
“Natasha came and watched our kittens three separate times. We had to book her last minute and she was super flexible. Sent lots of pictures and kept them fed. She even brought in a package for us. We would recommend!”
“Second time we, and the cats, have had Emilie to our house, she was everything we, and the cats, could want. Emilie was timely with her appointments and kept us well informed. The cats seem to really like her and she provides them with lots of attention. We are planning our next trip and plan to contact Emilie again very soon. It would be hard to go wrong with Emilie taking care of your pets. Signed: Heidi, Dolly and Jay...oh and our people.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Karissa! She watched our cat, Violet, for several days recently and was the best pet sitter we have ever had- by far!! She was so kind and loving with Violet and took extra time to give her extra love and play with her. She also kept us updated with each drop-in visit and told us how she was doing as well as provided tons of pictures and videos to keep us at ease. We can’t wait to use her again and Violet will definitely be missing her wonderful new friend! 10/10 highly recommend using Karissa… she truly goes way above and beyond!!!!”
“Rebeca did great job taking care of our two cats. She was very responsible and followed instructions we gave her. We received photos of our very sociable, happy cat on Rebeca’s lap, and she tried her best to lure our nonsocial cat out to no avail, but left food for her in the back of a closet where she normally hides and checked each day that she was eating. We would definitely ask her to sit for our cats again.”
“We have used Jennifer a few times now for our kitties and she always does an excellent job. This past visit was during hurricane Ian which she was affected by. However, she still came and took great care of my cats while we were away. She even emptied our fridge since the power was lost and tidied some of the debris outside our home. She goes above and beyond not only for our pets, but for us as well! Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Gulcin is great! She took such great care of our cat, Eddie. She takes direction very well and is excellent about handling everything you ask her to do. She’s got a great attitude and so easy to work with. Always shows up with a smile. Thank you, Gulcin!”
About: I have taken care of/walked dogs since I was 7. I’ve grown up with dogs and have never lived without one in my home. Many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets to either walk or care for them from either a day at a time or weeks. During the week I have sports and school but weekends are reserved to make sure the care of your pet(s) is received properly and carefully I am more than happy to play with any pet to ensure he/she is happy and healthy while I care for them. If you have special requests, I can make it a priority to fulfill them.
About: My first experience with cats was when I went to visit my aunt in Colorado. When I got to her house one of the first things I saw were her to cars chasing each other around. Ever since meet her "Baby Kittens" (they're fully grown of course) I've loved cats ever since. While not having ever owned one myself I gained a fair bit of experience when I house sat for a couple months and watched the owner's cat as well as their plethora of other animals. Due to my experience with the rambunctious indoor/outdoor cat that is Miley(shown above) I'm confident in my ability to care and provide for you kitten in everywhere you may need.
About: I absolutely love cats, I have always loved them since I was a kid. I currently have two of my own, I would basically do anything for them. Cat sitting jobs are usually some of my favorite jobs as I just get to hangout and cuddle with them all day! I will always send text and picture updates to my clients to ensure that your cats are happy, healthy, and safe within my care!
“VERY happy with the care and attention Mary gave my kitties! My one kitty is diabetic, so it’s great to find someone with experience taking care of diabetic kitties! She took lots of pictures of the kitties for me 😊 I will definitely contact Mary again when I need kitty care.”
“Christelle was great to work with! She made sure to get to know my cat before visiting, and took care of his needs. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Kate-Lynn is responsive and responsible, Lala loved being with her. She was willing to meet with Lala and I before our booking to make sure we were both comfortable. Definitely hope to be able to book again. Thank you Kate-Lynn!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Villas
“Gulcin was very accommodating as our request was last minute. Met here out front where Harley was able to greet her. She kept us updated with pics and messages on how he was doing and took him for a walk while with her. It was only for a few hours but could tell she has a love for dogs! If we need daycare again while here in Ft. Myers while on vacation will definitely use her again!”

About: A little about myself.... I got my first pet when my father brought home a puppy when I was about 6 years old. I've always loved dogs my whole life. I've had 4 poodles two boys (our family pets) & my own- one boy toy poodle & one girl- who was a Bichon-Poo- both were mine. Sadly, both have crossed over to the "Rainbow Bridge." Sophie was also an emotional support & therapy dog for my mother. Recently had to put my most recent rescue Sugar down due to complications from heart failure. My home is without and dogs or cats now. I just have 2 parakeets. However, I've fostered dogs & will continue to do so from time to time. That said, I will always be sure to give all of my clients pets the love & comfort that they need & deserve. 😊 Contact me for boarding/petsitting at my home anytime. I am also available to pet/house sit at my clients homes as well. My reviews speak for themself! 🐾❤️ I have a lot of flexibility with my part time job so I can care for pets with ease. I can be available just about anytime! I can take care of your fur babies anytime💕🐾 I can pet/house sit at a client's home. I am available to board/sit/dog day care at my home full time.
About: It is my priority to make each pet feel as comfortable and as happy as possible when they are in my care. I believe animals have feelings and emotions just as much as people do. My heart melts when it comes to animals, especially dogs. I have rescued many animals over the past few years (well they found me) and worked hard to find them good homes. I have also volunteered at shelters as well as donate to charities that help animals. I would adopt 10 dogs if I could afford to... but since I cant, I just make sure that while they are in my care that they are treated as best as can be. I am very in touch with each pets feelings and likes/dislikes. I have a big yard that is fenced in. The dogs love the freedom to roam as they please. I have great references and I am very reliable. I have experience with both large and small dogs. I have had Great Danes of my own and now have Chihuahuas. I don't believe there is any such thing as "just a dog." I send lots of pictures throughout the stay! Thanks for reading.
About: Hi! I’m Siddhi, a responsible and caring pet lover based in Fort Myers. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including my own husky Leo and cat Oliver, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ve also volunteered with Gulf Coast Humane Society, which gave me experience with different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pet like my own 🤍 Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have both a dog and a cat of my own. I’m used to scheduled walks, feeding times, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I plan my week around responsibilities, so I always make sure I have dedicated time for walks or drop-ins. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and have fresh water at all times. I also give them lots of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and always prioritize the pet’s safety. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease.

He loves dogs as much as I do. Ana lives in a large golf community, with lots of dogs around and nice trails to explore. Your pet can also enjoy some of the local parks that are close by. Your pet will feel like he is at his home away from home when with us.

I have a cat Catio and a little studio just for cats ! But I also love dogs ! We have a fenced yard where your dog can run. My dog gets along with others pets, just not unfixed males. Working from home so your pet won’t be left alone. I will love your pets like I love mine. We love animals of all kind ! I am not working currently, home a lot. I am very available and I have a big car as well if pet transport is needed. There is usually always someone home !

I can also stay in your home with your dog or cat and come to care for it as needed.
“Xiao was great! We needed a place to leave our dog for the day while attending a family gathering near by and Xiao was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and we knew our Willow was being well cared for. We will use her again if we are ever back in the area.”
“Having been about 3 1/2 hours from home, due to work, and desperately needing to find a safe and welcoming accommodation for my pup for the following day Amanda was absolutely amazing!! She was a life saver — if that! My Frijolin was absolutely obsessed with her. By the second day, he walked himself to her door and greeted her in a loving way. The sense of relief that I was given just seeing my pup greet her so warmly let me know that without a doubt, Amanda is not only an angel to us pup parents but also to our pups. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: A Fur-baby L❤VING family awaits... Hi there, As a mom, wife and recent college graduate student, I know how difficult it can be sometimes to get away and take time for oneself, marriage, chores, or even a nap. Ahhh naps. Yes! We love those here all snuggled up with our 2 german shepherds and visiting fur babies, especially after a visit to a nearby park, or splashing around in the doggy baby pool. Frisbee anyone? No? How about a game of fetch. Zeus, our uncut male is a trained service dog and Stella, our uncut long-haired shepherd likes to cuddle and give lots of kisses. Careful though, she'll sneak a big wet sloppy kiss on you when you're snoozing. Stella is currently being trained. We have a large unfenced yard with a 70-foot long aerial tether between trees. This offers security, convenience and free play for pups of all ages still learning to stay close by. I have dog training experience as well as being able to administer medications, and bathing your babies upon request. We also like to visit dog beaches and parks close by with your approval. Hope to hear from you soon. Please feel free to ask questions. My 7 year old walks our 90lb Zeus with ease and is very comfortable around fur babies. Rover, what a fantastic way to help others while teaching our daughter responsibility. Please provide food, toys, comfort items eg. blankets, crate if necessary. One of my hobbies is photography, so get ready to receive a few black & white "Glamour Shots" and a video. We like to check-in with our dog families 2-3 times a day. It makes all the difference to myself when I use Rover services and I get the cutest picture of my dog doing silly tricks for his sitter. So I am sure, other dog lovers will feel at ease knowing they can trust us 100%. I also have a dog wash area outside & offer bathing and grooming services upon request.

About: Hello, My name is Sanaa ( you can call me Sunny). I’m 40 years old and I’ve been passionate about dogs since I was a child.I’m very patient and kind. I go for training ( according to your recommendations), games, cuddles and a lot of activities inside and outside the house. I can watch your pet for a few hours or several days. I‘ve lived in the US for 6 years and joined Rover after my last dog passed away , I have owned dogs my entire life and was an active foster in my native country. My husband also loves dogs, but we cannot adopt one at the moment so playing with your fur baby is the next best thing!!

“We’ve been sending our golden retriever to Ashlee’s house since she was a puppy and we continue to feel so blessed to have her! Our girl loves day time visits and sleep overs! She always has so much fun and comes home tired and happy!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for 10–15 years to care for their pets in both short- and long-term situations. In my home, I maintain a structured, calm environment with consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and supervision. I currently have two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and used to interacting with other dogs. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, understanding behavior, and ensuring a safe, low-stress environment. As a military veteran, I approach pet care professionally—with clear expectations, strong communication, and a focus on safety for all animals in my home. I maintain a flexible schedule and am home frequently throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and care. I structure my day around the dogs in my home and can accommodate established feeding, walking, and rest routines as long as they are clearly outlined in advance. My goal is to keep your dog on a schedule they are already comfortable with, while maintaining a calm, structured environment. I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to ensure each dog receives proper attention and consistency. My home is a safe, structured environment with two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and accustomed to interacting with other dogs. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and will make every effort to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. For safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs. Dogs are supervised, and crating can be accommodated if your dog is crate-trained. I prioritize clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing.

Leaving for school in Sarasota starting July 16th. I stay very active and love taking your pups on long walks! I love taking them to the dog park and even on hikes! Owning and taking care of dogs has always been apart of my routine too! I give them lots of love and always make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

“I cannot recommend Laci enough! She took care of my dog for 11 1/2 days while I was out of state, walking her every morning and afternoon. She went above and beyond, even bringing my dog new toys and sharing daily updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Communication was seamless and so easy, whether over the phone or through messages. I hope to use her again! Thanks Laci!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, not just pets, but family. I grew up around dogs, volunteered with the Humane Society throughout college, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra medical care. One of my huskies developed diabetes and eventually went blind, so I became very comfortable administering medications and injections, following strict routines, and giving patient, loving care. I lost my sweet Shih Tzu after 17 amazing years together, and now I have two spoiled pups of my own, Gracie and Lily. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they are my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekends, with weekday availability on many days as well. I’m happy to work with pet parents whenever possible and always do my best to accommodate schedules, routines, and special care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and personalities so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I live in a very dog-friendly area in Fort Myers with plenty of space for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, supervision, communication, and making sure your pet feels at home.

“Michelle is sweet, dependable and great with our dog! She really spends the full 30 taking him for a walk and then eventually plays with him for a little bit afterwards before leaving! I know Butch is well taken care of and well loved when Michelle watches him!”
“Jen is awesome! We hired her to walk our puppy a couple times a week for several weeks and she exceeded our expectations. Jen was very good with the puppy and the pup was always happy and excited to see her. Jen was prompt about the time we had established. I will definitely use Jen again when I need a responsible, caring dog walker.”
“Karin did a wonderful job taking care of my two golden retrievers (one is a puppy). She took both of them on walks, gave them water, communicated with me as she was caring for them, and sent me lots of cute pics from the visit. I would definitively request Karin again.😊”

“Thank you Thomas and Lyndsay for taking care of our girl for three weeks! Loved the pictures that were sent every couple of days. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that she was safe and being well cared for. Thank you for your services. Looking forward to future visits.”
“If I could leave a 10 star review I would. Gulcin was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She accommodated me at the last minute practically. She did more for my dog than what I asked her to do. She's fantastic with animals, and to see my dog enjoying himself with her gave me so much peace. I am looking forward to having her take care of my dog again in the next few days. She's absolutely fantastic.”
“Tia was great with both of my dogs. She sent many pictures and made me feel more at ease while I was out of town. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again!”
“Tracy did a great job with our elderly boston terrier. She sent a video of our dog with a few other fur friends getting a late night treat. I like how she made each dog feel special and part of the team. Tracy is also organized and worked well with our schedule. Thank you Tracy for everything!”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”

A very nice person who i absolutely leave my dog with again. 10/5 stars if i could. I am extremely thankful for Lori and this day of giving Thanks!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“XIAO IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. She is super kind and flexible. My dog (Ollie) is very particular and a bit high maintenance, but Xiao knew exactly knew what to do since she has her own dogs and taken care of dog all her life. Xiao has 3 dogs of her own, you can tell that she treats them well and will treat your dog like her own. Something came up during my trip and I had to reschedule my pickup time, and Xiao was more than accommodating. Highly recommended especially for worry wort mothers like me haha Thank you again 11/10 would recommend!”
“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt confident they were in great hands. Throughout my weekend trip, I received regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was friendly, communicative, and clearly cared about my dogs’ well-being. The photos showed them looking comfortable, relaxed, and happy, and when I picked them up, they were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious she treats the pets in her care with kindness and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again in the future!”
About: All I've ever known since childhood was dogs, they've been a constant part of my time here on earth and helped to foster my love for all animals. Throughout my life I've always helped take care of family members pets as well as my friend's pets and it has always been a source of joy. Over the years I've cared for a variety of animals spanning different amounts of time. Be it my Uncle's dog for a weekend or a family friend's house, dog, cat, 6 chickens, and 4 ducks for a couple months I can help accommodate any need you may have and I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently back from college and am working part time. I'll have more than enough free time to accommodate your busy schedule and meet whatever needs you and your pets may have! I have a fenced yard, a pool, and a very sweet little dog who loves company. With a very spacious car and a personal fondness for hiking I can take your pet on nature excursions or to vet appointments. If needed, I can easily separate pets for feeding or quiet time to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable in their own space.
“We had never boarded our dogs before, and I had some anxiety about the process. From the beginning, Alain alleviated my concerns as he communicated early and often about the process. We set up a meeting in person before we left and brought our little dog along. Upon meeting Alain and his lovely family, I knew our pups were in good hands, so we could enjoy our trip without concerns. Alaim had printed out our instructions and was clearly prepared for their arrival. During our trip, he posted photos and videos every day we were gone so we could see how our dogs were doing, and they clearly were healthy and happy. Any question or concern I had, I received an immediate response. I highly recommend Alain, and if we travel again would not hesitate to book him again.”

Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”

“Nina was a wonderful sitter for Coco. So many pictures!! I saw numerous walks and playtime. My Coco is still exhausted, which is a good thing. I can’t recommend Nina enough!!”
“Diana provided very good care of our Aussiedoodle for 13 days. Videos of walks were sent to us while we were out of town, along with Diana's updates. As we were driving to pick up our doggie, we could see him in the driveway (on a leash of course) wagging his tail. He was so happy playing with Diana's teenage son. We are very pleased with Diana's service, and we will definitely use her boarding service when needed in the future.”
