“Our pup had such an amazing time with Julie and her family! From the moment we arrived, Chiko felt right at home and quickly became part of the family. He loved playing with their two doodles, Chase and Rusty, and even got to meet their goats, pigs, chickens, and play with their kiddos. Their fully fenced yard (many acres) was perfect for safe playtime and gave us extra peace of mind. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving him, especially since Chiko is deaf and uses a special collar. She took the time to learn how to communicate with him, which gave us such reassurance. We loved the adorable photo updates throughout his stay, and when we picked him up, he was one happy (and tired!) pup who fell right asleep as soon as we got home. We are so grateful to Julie and her family for the wonderful care they gave our pup, and we can’t wait for him to stay with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We just love Ms. Pat, and so does our little one! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Ms. Pat because she treats him like he’s a member of her family (just like we do). Thanks again Ms. Pat!!”
“This was Brownie’s first stay with a sitter. Brownie’s dad passed away on 3-2-24 and I was afraid she might not adapt. Brownie throughly enjoyed her vacation with Shawna and Chris. They loved her as much as I do. They were amazing and I feel so very blessed to have found them and booked for another trip. Thank you so much for you care and love for Brownie! 💕💕”
“This is not our pup’s first time with Lena but it was his longest stay as my husband and I took a holiday trip for a week and half before Christmas. Lena was wonderful as always and went above and beyond what was expected as our lil malitpoo can be a little much at times. We 100% recommend Lena!”
“Jackie was amazing and Bentley had a great time she sent me updates throughout his stay and we look forward to using Jackie‘s services in the future. Overall, Jackie was very accommodating communicated well throughout the entire boarding before and during. We would recommend Jackie for pet sitting/boarding services.”
“I received photos and videos every day! Both Havoc and Jelly Beans were spoiled!!! Erin was the BIGGEST lifesaver as my original dog sitter backed out a week prior to an Air Force TDY. I cannot thank her enough! ?”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience as Jillian, and her family made my pups feel like part of the family right away. Thank you again for taking such great care of them, and allowing me to travel without worry!”
“Very kind. Great commutator. I will definitely use her again. My dog really seemed to like her stay there. Love that this Rover individual takes my dog on walks and interacts with her!”
“I would happily leave my pup with Cynthia and her family again! She took time when I first dropped Athena off to help her be comfortable. Nothing was rushed. She was very communicative for the entirety of my trip.”
“Lori was incredible. Booked her last minute and she took such good care of our Frenchie. We got so many updates and we could tell he was well loved when we picked him up. Very grateful for wonderful dog sitters like Lori!”
“We hit the jackpot with this family! They were all accommodating and loved on our boy. What a piece of mind to know our dog was cared for when we had to leave town. When we used to board our other dog at the vet it was more expensive and he would be hoarse from barking, always thirsty (I don’t know that they provided water for him) and sometimes his bed was in the laundry at pick up. Suspicious. This is such a better option and Bear was so happy he didn’t want to leave. Thank you all so much. We would love to use you again.”
“Ricky loves his home away from home. When my daughter picked him up, he didn't really want to leave. We are thankful he has this great place to stay when he can't travel with us. She takes great care of my geriatric, neurotic, deaf, and partially blind chihuahua. 100% Recommend if you are fortunate enough to get on her schedule!! Xoxo, thanks, Kimberly! With love, Ricky Ricardo's mom.”

“One of our best Rover experiences. From the initial meetup through pickup, we felt completely at ease and confident our dog was in great hands. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend.”
“Bogey had another great stay with Angie in their home! He loves it there, and comes home happy :) She sends lots of pictures & updates, which is always nice being away from home on vacation. We so appreciate their loving care for our doggy!”
“Always takes amazing care of our energetic baby! Follows all instructions with care and provides detailed updates with pictures. Luca loves his time with this family and he’s very picky!”

“Christina is a wonderful pet sitter. She stayed at our home and took care of our cat for 2 weeks. When we return from a trip, he usually meows and demands attention but when we got home yesterday, he was curled up sleeping peacefully and I had to wake him up. That proves to me that he got so much attention, he didn’t notice we were gone. Christina also took great care of our home and even washed/dried the bedding and towels, which was way above and beyond. Highly recommend her services.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Ollie. We communicated daily and she sent us pics and updates regularly. You can tell Ashley loves animals and our cat felt at home with her. Highly recommend Ashley for your pet sitting needs.”
“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”

About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!
About: I've personally owned cats since I was little, that being the first animal I took care of at 6years old with a hamster and parakeets and a ferret. Cat behavior differs from dogs and you must understand they are one of a kind to each cats behavior is never the same. Some need more attention than others and some want all the space they can get but enjoy their food. Countless kitten claw scratches approved. Keeping litter boxes clean is highly necessary as it is their bathroom and no one likes a stinky toilet. I currently own a Japanese tortoiseshell bobtail female cat who has already had a liter of kittens. I have raised and found homes for. I have experience in almost any house pet you can think of and then some.
About: I tailor my approach to each furbabys individual needs. I ensure they are both comfortable and happy while you are away to make both the parent and furbabys separation less stressful. I have cared for many breeds of different ages and currently have 3 of our own. I am experienced in giving oral medications, light grooming such as brushing/bathing and managing anxious pups. I currently work full-time Tuesday-Friday. I am available for overnight stays and drop-ins depending on day/time-just reach out for availability. Feel free to shoot me a message and inquire. I follow all pet parents rules, feeding times, bed times. I encourage you to provide full instructions in advance to review together in order to provide the best possible care.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My dad is in the dog show business, so we have actively been raising and vetting dogs for as long as I can remember. I currently am a part time worker and student, but will have plenty of time to play with your pups over this school summer break. I will care for your pets based on how you care for your pets. I will make sure they are leashed unless you have a fenced yard.
“Cheney was an excellent caretaker of my cat, and was very responsive to messages and directions. I came home to a happy pet and felt good that she had someone attentive looking after her.”

“Ashley is the kindest human on the planet. I was so blessed to find her prior to a work/family trip for daycare. We did a meet and greet prior to our start and my 2 pups immediately went nuts for her. I knew that they would be in safe hands for the week and they were so excited to get there the following day and every day! She has an amazing pet friendly house, backyard and such sweet pups of her own. I wish I could move her to MD!!! If you have the chance to book her, you will be as blessed as me! Thanks Ashley!!”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up from cats, dogs to having a pet flying squirrel name Ricky Bobby. I have a genuine heart and a sweet soul and I love animals . My son is in school and I’m a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time on my hands now. I would enjoy having a side job to play with more animals in my life I have two acres of land and plenty of grass to roam around on. I have a fence with a closing gate and I can walk the dogs with as much time needed. They are in good hands !
“Superior experience! ..and communication. Plenty of area to explore and run, much better than a dog park, and typical kennel daycare/boarding. Rhett was pooped out! Highly recommended.”
“Cooper loves daycare with Reyna and her family! Their large fenced-in yard gives him plenty of space to run and play with their sweet puppy, Maple. He loved being part of their family for the day! Reyna sent me great pictures of him zooming around the yard and relaxing near the boys while they worked on school. He came home happy, tired, and ready for a nap! We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
About: I have been obsessed with cats since I was 4 years old. I had 2 growing up (one was diabetic and 19 years old so I’m familiar with giving injections/ medicine). It brings me so much joy taking care of animals. Cats only enhance my life and I would love nothing more to share that love with your animal. I work 4 days a week, and am off 3 full days. My work days are fairly short, so your animal will be attended to extremely well. I currently have no animals in my home. Typically I fed my cats growing up 3 meals a day. I change their little box morning and night. I also make sure they have plenty of water and love.
About: Your dog will enjoy their very own private indoor kennel, complete with a cozy bed and a TV for entertainment! We even have a special door leading to their fenced-in outdoor area, so they can roam and play whenever they want. Plus, to keep you in the loop, we send updates throughout the day so you can relax, knowing your furry friend is having a great time! Your pet will have the freedom to come and go as they please through their own doggy door, which leads to a private front porch enclosed by a secure six-foot fence. This safe outdoor space allows your dog to explore and enjoy the fresh air while keeping them protected. The covered porch provides an ideal spot for your furry friend to relax and soak up the sun, making it a perfect retreat for cozy naps throughout the day. Your dog will love having their own special area to lounge and bask in the warmth! Pet owners are responsible for providing their pets with the appropriate food and any necessary medications to ensure their health and well-being. Our kennels prioritize safety above all else, which is why each dog is housed in a secure space surrounded by a privacy fence. This separation prevents any mingling between dogs, creating a calm environment that protects their individual comfort and safety, as well as the safety of our caring family. We take every precaution to create a secure and nurturing environment for all dogs in our care.

“Esmeralda offered the perfect day care experience for our little morkie, Molly. We were visiting in the Blue Ridge area and had activities planned for two days that would not allow us to bring our pet along. Esmeralda's home was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our little morkie gets overwhelmed and stressed at boarding facilities. But she was happy and playful when I picked her up each day. Esmeralda sent updates and photos both days and was genuinely happy to see Molly each morning. We will definitely use Esmeralda again when we travel to the Blue Ridge area. We highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.
About: I have 10 years of experience with dogs and cats. I have worked in a dog kennel, animal hospital, and I have previously done pet sitting and dog walking. I can administer medication whether it is oral, topical, or injections. I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. I am available 7 days a week with the exception of my full time serving job. My shifts are typically no longer than 8 hours. Outside of work I love to cuddle your baby or be adventurous and go on hikes and long walks depending on the pet. I do not have a fenced in backyard but I will gladly take your pet to the nearest dog park with my friendly fur baby so they can run off some energy. I can take care of your pet according to your wants/needs.
About: I've always had pets of my own or in my care; from my childhood golden retriever mix to the cats that have allowed me in "their" home, to working as a caretaker in a Georgia county animal shelter and fostering kittens, puppies, and adult dogs through Athens Canine Rescue, animals make me happy. . I'm comfortable taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs, either in my house or yours. While I don't offer training, I have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, fear aggression, and resource guarding, and am happy to accommodate your pet in whatever way he/she needs. I'm excited to host your pets in their home away from home. I work full time from home as a data analyst, so your companion will have constant daytime supervision. With about 1 full acre fenced in, my home is secluded, peaceful, and a super place for your friend to spend time. Just let me know what you want for your pet and I'm more than happy to accommodate; in my home, my pets come first!

As much as I would love to have an animal slumber party, I don’t think my cat would approve. I will take care of your babies as much as they are mine. Whether that’s playing with them, giving lots of scratches, or cuddling - they will be treated like my own.
About: ***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR DROP INS or WALKS on WEEKDAYS *** I have been pet sitting for almost thirty years. I have many great references from repeat clients (Rover and non Rover). I have become buddies with dogs of all breeds and sizes - big or small, I love them all. I will come to your home so your dog is as comfortable as possible while you are away. I will visit your home as many times during the day as I am needed, and will stay the night with your pet if that is what you would prefer. I am not a stranger to odd feeding requests (you know if your pet has an odd feeding ritual) and I will also administer medication as required. Your precious pup will feel right at home with me as his or her sitter. I also sit for cats, rodents, and reptiles. **I apologize for any delays in response time. I do not have this app on my phone so I have to get incoming messages through email. Messages sent after 6:00pm may not be seen until the following day. Thank you for your patience.** I work from home on my own schedule most of the time so I am available most of the day for the duration of my stay. I do not care for other pets in my home but I do follow any safety instructions you have for me while I stay with your pet at your home. I prefer that there not be any visitors while you are away so I can ensure your pet's safety as well as my own.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!
“Charis did a wonderful job with my scardy cat dog. She was willing to meet her early and let my dog get used to her before their first walk together. She’s been super quick to respond and very communicative! It’s made me worry a lot less about my pup through the day!”
About: I have two of my own dogs. One of them actually just had puppies and I delivered them and took care of them myself. I love big dog breeds I work full time until four Monday through Friday. I would have time to after I get off work. I am very excited to be helping others with their dogs. I take care of my two golden retrievers I have all the time. I take them on long walks everyday after I get off of work and they are very well trained and behaved
About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.
About: I’ve taken care of and owned all kinds of dogs my entire life. I have experience with rescues, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with short temperaments. I recently graduated from The University of Georgia this past May and am living with my parents in Ellijay this summer before starting grad school this Fall! I am able to visit your pup multiple times throughout the day or stay overnight if needed! I have a rescue pit bull/lab mix named Tux who my family and I adore. Unfortunately he is not dog friendly so my house is not available for boarding.
About: I have worked in pet care for over 6 years. I was a dog groomer for 2 years. During this time I was trained as a kennel tech, and am pet CPR/First Aid certified! I also received training with pet seizures and am experienced in caring for senior dogs. I offer grooming services as well! Please feel free to send me a message :) As a dog mom, I know I’m pretty timid just leaving my baby with new people. I want to know that he’s going to be safe, loved on, and never neglected. I spend a lot of time with him during the day, making sure he’s receiving the right amount of exercise, training, and everything he would need to keep growing healthy and strong. I would love to provide this service for other dog parents and their fur babies! I want you to feel safe leaving your precious angel with me, and leave with the knowledge that they’re going to have a fun, enriching, and safe time in my care. My fur babies are my whole world and I try to make their time with me as fun and as enriching as possible. Whether thats playing games, learning new tricks, getting exercise, or winding down with a nice frozen kong treat.
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼

“Our pup had such an amazing time with Julie and her family! From the moment we arrived, Chiko felt right at home and quickly became part of the family. He loved playing with their two doodles, Chase and Rusty, and even got to meet their goats, pigs, chickens, and play with their kiddos. Their fully fenced yard (many acres) was perfect for safe playtime and gave us extra peace of mind. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving him, especially since Chiko is deaf and uses a special collar. She took the time to learn how to communicate with him, which gave us such reassurance. We loved the adorable photo updates throughout his stay, and when we picked him up, he was one happy (and tired!) pup who fell right asleep as soon as we got home. We are so grateful to Julie and her family for the wonderful care they gave our pup, and we can’t wait for him to stay with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We just love Ms. Pat, and so does our little one! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Ms. Pat because she treats him like he’s a member of her family (just like we do). Thanks again Ms. Pat!!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience as Jillian, and her family made my pups feel like part of the family right away. Thank you again for taking such great care of them, and allowing me to travel without worry!”
“I would happily leave my pup with Cynthia and her family again! She took time when I first dropped Athena off to help her be comfortable. Nothing was rushed. She was very communicative for the entirety of my trip.”
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“One of our best Rover experiences. From the initial meetup through pickup, we felt completely at ease and confident our dog was in great hands. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend.”
“Bogey had another great stay with Angie in their home! He loves it there, and comes home happy :) She sends lots of pictures & updates, which is always nice being away from home on vacation. We so appreciate their loving care for our doggy!”
“Angie is the absolute best! I brought my two dogs for a meet and greet before their stay and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She has a lovely home and yard and you can tell how much she cares about dogs. I was nervous as I've never boarded before. One of my dogs is very nervous in new situations. Angie sent daily updates and pics text ands assured me he was doing great. And he was! Both my babies were comfortable, loved, exercised, and treated as part of the family. Angie is professional, kind, accommodating, and gentle. When I picked them up they were happy and worn out! Lots of play! We drove almost an hour out of the way to leave them with her. We will do it again! Look no further! ”
“Our entire family ADORES our dog and we wouldn’t trust anyone more than we do Veshma. She is loving, kind and attentive. We are able to go on family vacations knowing that our dog, Maggie, is having more fun with Veshma than she would be with us! She checks in regularly and send us photos and videos to let us know Maggie is safe and happy.”
“Great pet sitter! Victoria is super friendly and she had my furry babies super spoiled the whole time. She sent photos and videos and I could see how Happy my doggies were. She has two dogs of her own and they are also super friendly and nice with other dogs.”
“Rene was fantastic with our 2 pups! Got daily updates and the pups looked like they had a great time and felt like family 😊 highly recommended and will book with Rene again!”
“Christina was wonderful! Sweet & Kind. She sent pictures and updated us from the moment we scheduled. Will definately use her again! Thankyou, for taking care of our Pepper!”
“Had a wonderful experience with Ryan. The coordination of drop off and pick up was easy and communication throughout Chuck’s stay was great. We were reassured that our pup was getting the best care. I would wholeheartedly recommend booking with Ryan.”
“Sky was loved and cared for the entire time. We received pictures daily and was updated on how she was doing. She was apart of the family and was very happy. I’m thankful.”
“Goldendoodle Queisha took wonderful care of our 6-year-old Goldendoodle. We really appreciated the updates and the stress-free boarding experience for the day. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Kerri was great with our dachshund Steve. Steve was just 13 weeks old and Kerri took care of him for a whole week while we were on vacation. She offered to meet before the trip to show us around her home and help us be comfortable leaving our puppy behind. While we were on the trip Kerri kept us updated about Steve and send us pictures of him. We highly recommend Kerri as a dog sitter ans we will definitely use her again in the future.”
