“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Tracey was great! She helped us out with a last min stay and took such great care of our dood, Miko. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and he came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. So thankful for her flexibility and the care she gave him. Would absolutely book again!”
“Mrs. Tara was absolutely amazing with our baby Kora! She was so kind and attentive, and had no problem accommodating Kora’s special needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kora was in such great hands. Her communication was great — she kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”
“My dog links could not tell me if he liked his stay with Jess but he was not to eger to leave or get in car which tells me service was good. I will use this service again in the future Ed”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”
“Ben seems to do really well in the environment Yui creates for doggy daycare and overnight stays. Our dog has food allergies and some anxiety so he licks a lot. He came home happy, his skin in great shape and I think he enjoyed his overnight stay with some dog friends based on the pictures we received.”
“Dahlia took amazing care of Oscar. She was loving and kind to him and provided us regular updates with tidbits of daily activities. I could tell Oscar had a great time with her.”
“I am so thankful we found DeAnne to watch our 3 dogs when we are away. She loves them and cares about them as if they are her own. They also enjoy going to her house for a weekly daycare day. Their ears perk right up when we say “DeAnne”!”
“Ryan took our brownie girl a second week in a row for a last minute sitter situation on a holiday weekend. He sent many pics and messaged throughout the days. He made me feel that she was very well loved and took her in like his own. I will definitely use him again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tammy as our dog sitter for the first time. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by prioritizing Milo’s safety and well-being. She was extremely attentive and caring, ensuring everything was handled with love and professionalism. We especially appreciated her frequent updates and photos, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. Tammy went above and beyond to make sure Milo felt comfortable and cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter — we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Amy was wonderful. She watched our 2 dogs while on fall break. She sent us lots of photos and updates during their stay and even asked questions when needed. I would recommend and will definitely be bringing my dogs back to see Amy.”
“Heather is incredible! My dog had a blast staying with her! I received an update every morning and lots of pictures! I have never felt better leaving my dog, I don’t think my dog wanted to come home because he was having so much fun!”
“What a great experience for me and my poodle. Felicia and Brad were so gracious and it is obvious that they love dogs. I will definitely use them again.”
“Thank you so much Gretchen & Marc! You are so fabulous with Jimmy. You make leaving Jimmy in your care so worry free allowing us to enjoy our time away. I especially love the photo updates. I can’t recommend your services enough. We feel so lucky that we found you.”

“Bailey did an amazing job with my cats! She asked plenty of clarifying questions during the meet-n-greet and provided updates while I was gone. My cats especially appreciated that she took time to play with them when she stopped in. Even my camera-shy cat made several appearances for her. :)”
“Bailey is hands down the best person ever to watch your dog. She is great with our big 65 pound Australian poodle and she is a natural around him. She was never late taking Romo out and it’s clear she is passionate about dogs. Definitely plan on booking her again in the future!”
“Brenda took very good car me if our cats. She spent time with both of them. She gave our elderly cat his Insulin with no issues. We appreciate the care she provided for our fur babies.”
About: I grew up with cats first before any other animals and they have my heart. I have never known a life without cats as my family cat growing up was established in our family before I was even born, and I have my own sweet white and grey domestic shorthair named Noelle who is very playful and loving but doesn't do well with other animals, so she is my sole animal in my house and I love to get time with other people's kittens and cats whenever I can! I have experience with various forms of administering medications, special food needs, litter box cleaning, playtime, and of course pets and cuddles. I do work full time in Gainesville so my availability is more weeknights and Saturday/Sunday all day.
“Tara is an amazing sitter! She took good care of my cat and sent me frequent updates during my trip. She’s super friendly and lovely ☺️☺️ I’ll definitely book her again for my upcoming trips since I know Toro will be in good hands 🥰”
“Courtney was great! She came over before the job started to get instructions and meet our pets, asking questions and getting to know everyone. She was thorough in doing the job and was responsive when we communicated. I can highly recommend Courtney as a responsible pet sitter- thanks, Courtney!”
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
About: I currently own 3 cats, Oreo, Chris, and Wilson. I have had and cared for cats as long as I can remember. Whether it is just cleaning a litter box and putting out food or if it's administering medication I have you covered. Playing with cats to get their energy out is one of my favorite things to do!
“Riley helped us with a short notice drop in 🥰 She is reliable, responsive, responsible, and very kind. We so appreciate her. Each time, we have come home to a very happy Miko. Highly recommend!!”
“I wish I could tip higher but rover won’t let me tip more than 30%. Amber is reliable and a great cat sitter! She’s able to find my shy cat, and makes sure they are fed, have water, litter scooped and well taken care of.”

About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift!

Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
“Patricia absolutely saved the day when we had a family emergency and asked her to watch Mina on short notice. She responded promptly and did everything to make it an amazing afternoon for our Shih Tzu! She sent tons of photos, kept us updated, and bent over backwards to help us out. Her energy was calming and reassuring in what was a very stressful time for us. We are so grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve had all pets from, kittens, puppies, geckos, chameleons, fish, and birds! I love spending time with animals and Id love to spend time with/ take care of yours! 🤍 I have full time availability as a SAHM and would like to devote my time to helping pet owners in the Gainesville and the surrounding areas, to give their fur babies the love and attention they deserve while you take care of your priorities! I have grown up around many animals from kittens, to dogs, to even horses and have been taught the proper way to approach and handle dogs who may be shy, or have a temperament towards new people. I am also very cautious with the temps outside when walking dogs to insure their paws are not burned in the or picking up mud with the unpredictable GA weather. Your babies would we treated as one of my own 🫶🏼
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
“Lindsay & Chris have been exceptional sitters for our dog Rylie. The family provides very personal and affectionate care in their home, with a great outdoor space for play. Rylie is looking forward to her next stay!”

About: My family always had dogs when I was growing up. As an adult, I have always had dogs and cats. For several years I also had a farm with lots of animals. Almost two years ago I got divorced and this is the first time in my whole life I have not had any pets! I am really looking forward to getting my dog and cat fix from your pets! I work from home and am a stay at home mom. This allows me to care for your pets the way I would care for mine. They get plenty of love and attention! In my home, your pets will be taken care of like they are part of our family. I have children so they will be loved on by them as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking and we have a grassed, outdoor area as well. At your home, I will love on your pets and care for them in every way that you would like.
About: We have four dogs and live right beside a farm where my husband works. We have lots of space for dogs to run around and play, secure fenced in areas for safety and because we are a family of 7, we have plenty of love to go around! I bred Pomeranians as a young adult and my husband has worked on a horse farm for 20 years. We have lots of experience loving and caring for animals. I work from home and my husband works across the street. There is usually always someone at our home to take care of and walk the dogs.

Our children are very responsible and love to play with and walk dogs! Our personal dogs are up to date on all vaccines and on heart worm prevention.
“Angel was amazing with Rue and Ellie! She took excellent care of both of them, took them to the park, and made sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. When I got home, they were completely pooped and clearly had the best time. I really appreciated how well she took care of them and would absolutely recommend Angel to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Stephanie was amazing with Teddy while we explored the city! You can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. We had been traveling with Teddy for over two weeks, and she even gave him a bath so he was clean and fresh when we picked him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've had 5 years of cat and dog caretaker experience. I love pets,they are really good for my anxiety and depression. I always make sure pets have fun. I'm available anytime and any day. I'm available overnight too. Pet care taking is definitely my calling in life. I've always loved animals more than anything. I'm a very clean and dependable person. I'll treat your home and pets as if we're my own. I never call out sick and I'm punctual.
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have always had dogs and cats of my own. Since I work from home, I am able to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day, giving them attention, companionship, playtime, and care. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your pet feels happy and secure. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone and will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and companionship.

About: I've never met a dog that didn't captivate my heart. As a passionate animal advocate, I'm driven to make a difference. I've even gone the extra mile, chasing a dog down the highway to ensure its safety. My loyal companion of 11 years, a rescue dog, left an indelible mark on my heart when he passed away in February. Though I wish I could rescue every animal in need, I take comfort in knowing that my efforts, no matter how small, can bring about positive change. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of sharing my home with my own dogs, while also caring for the beloved pets of family and friends. The thought of any dog being confined to a boarding cage is unbearable, as I know they're already experiencing separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space that makes them feel at home, surrounded by love and comfort. I am a real estate agent and have been for 26 years. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide top-notch animal care services, whether in my residence, yours, or simply taking them for a stroll. Whether I am providing pet care in my home or yours, you can be assured that I am delivering companionship and love to your pet while you are away. Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I will take your dog for a leashed potty break and a daily walk to ensure they receive adequate exercise.
“Heather and her family give me peace of mind knowing that whenever I drop off my dog, they will give him all the love, attention and exercise he needs to be happy. They go above and beyond, nurturing my recently rescued mastiff/lab mix and their toy poodle became his best friend. They are always kind, understanding and respectful towards me as well. My only concern is that sometimes he likes being there more than my apartment 😁”

“Bailey did a great job. She helped us out on our wedding day and walked our dog twice. She spent intentional time with lottie making sure she got enough exercise and enough pets. Thank you!!”
“Bailey is awesome! Just what I needed as I’m going through chemo and needed my pup to get some exercise. She loves River and River loves her! You can tell because River is waiting but the door for her on the days she walks her! Bailey is dependable, mature and obviously loves dogs. She’s updates the app so that I know of any changes or additions (she has permission to keep walking River is she’s still wanting to walk and Bailey has the time!!). Payment is easy and if walked extra it can be automatically added! I’m so glad a friend referred ROVER to me!! I would have never found Bailey -someone we desperately needed right now to keel our pup happy, healthy & tired!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Lisa on Rover. She’s been amazing with our dog Finn and when we had to change plans unexpectedly due to illness, she was incredibly flexible and understanding. It took so much stress off our shoulders. Lisa is reliable, kind and truly cares, we couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I am great with puppy training and all cares needed for your furry friends. I have been around dogs my whole life and am very loving and caring with all animals! I am in the process of finding a new full time job so my availability is wide open to take care of your furry best friends! I always am taking pups on walks. I love to play with the animals. I also have experience with dogs with anxiety and willing to give medication if needed. Your furry friends are always very well taken care of with me!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past couple years. I’ve considered getting a big dog for myself, but I do enjoy watching them for awhile and then having them go back to their owners I currently work from home as a mortgage originator. I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog. For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.
“Mikayla is really good with walking my dog and is always diligent with making sure to take pictures and record how many times my dog takes potty breaks. I really appreciate how she is flexible with scheduling too. She also met up with me before I started scheduling with her on a short notice. I'm really happy to have somebody who is really good with dogs. My dog always seems happy when she is getting walked. I highly recommend her.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I bring patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and I have had several dogs of my own. I have been with several different types as well as aggressive and deaf dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and quiet environment, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable from start to finish. I am currently a mental health therapist working Monday through Thursdays. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I accommodate to whatever needs your dog may have or what your preference is as an owner due to my schedule being flexible. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do like to go on walks. I typically like the dog to stay at their home and I come there so they are more comfortable in their own environments. I do have a crate at my house if needed. I don’t mind keeping them with me as well :)

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for many years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and other farm animals. Having owned dogs ranging from 4 to 125 pounds, I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I can administer medications to most dogs and am happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, exercise, and daily routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I work hard to care for them exactly as you would. I love taking photos and sending regular updates, so you’ll know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind. I have recently retired from full-time employment as a teacher. I spend my free time with the animals on my small personal farm and volunteering with Save the Horses Rescue. I prefer to care for pets in their own environments, adhering closely to their regular routines and feeding. Keeping schedules structured minimizes stress for most animals. I understand the importance of a consistent diet, especially when owners are away.
About: I have owned and cared for pets for my whole life, including cats, dogs, fish and more. When I was growing up my family fostered German and Australian shepherds through K-9 Pet Rescue. I have also raised many litters of kittens and puppies, and ducklings as well! I am a very active person and would love to meet your pets! My schedule is 100% open, 24/7. I work from home and can accommodate any dates or times needed. I am happy to spend the time needed to provide companionship for your pet.

About: I’ve personally been interested and training dogs since I was 10. As a young adult I worked at a dog daycare, volunteered at a dog kennel and continued to train and work my personal dogs until I joined the military. I’ve recently become a Certified Full Service Dog trainer as a veteran through the VA. I have experience working with both pet dogs and working dogs. I value integrity and helping improve both the dog and handler for future success. Excited to teach and learn for the community, hopefully expanding after! I’m currently a full time student but will still offer night walks and training sessions after class during the week. I’ll be available the full weekend for full day/ overnight drop ins, and training sessions! I have a high standard for safety and wellness. Ensuring the environment is safe and secure for the dog. Providing proper equipment for exercise, trainings, walks. Giving updates and information throughout the service.

About: Howdy! I’m a 28 year old guy with a love for animals and a lot of time on his hands. I’ve looked after at most 4 (personal/roommates) dogs in my own household at one time. I have two of my own currently. They’re my boys and we spend these days lounging around at home (it’s what we three do best!) Previously worked for Barking Hound Village in Buckhead as a dog handler supervising over (at most) 20+ dogs at a time. I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments and ages- and other pets including cats, birds, rats, and reptiles. I also have care experience with sphynx cats, as I have one of my own. I have a full time job currently and am on a rotating schedule, so I am typically free after 6pm everyday. Schedule is free and open every other weekend. I am available every calendar holiday. I am flexible and happy to accommodate myself to whatever environment and play your pet feels happiest in. My own pets cannot sleep on their own- lol.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Tracey was great! She helped us out with a last min stay and took such great care of our dood, Miko. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and he came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. So thankful for her flexibility and the care she gave him. Would absolutely book again!”
“Mrs. Tara was absolutely amazing with our baby Kora! She was so kind and attentive, and had no problem accommodating Kora’s special needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kora was in such great hands. Her communication was great — she kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”
“My dog links could not tell me if he liked his stay with Jess but he was not to eger to leave or get in car which tells me service was good. I will use this service again in the future Ed”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”
“Ben seems to do really well in the environment Yui creates for doggy daycare and overnight stays. Our dog has food allergies and some anxiety so he licks a lot. He came home happy, his skin in great shape and I think he enjoyed his overnight stay with some dog friends based on the pictures we received.”
“I am so thankful we found DeAnne to watch our 3 dogs when we are away. She loves them and cares about them as if they are her own. They also enjoy going to her house for a weekly daycare day. Their ears perk right up when we say “DeAnne”!”
“Ryan took our brownie girl a second week in a row for a last minute sitter situation on a holiday weekend. He sent many pics and messaged throughout the days. He made me feel that she was very well loved and took her in like his own. I will definitely use him again!”
“Amy was wonderful. She watched our 2 dogs while on fall break. She sent us lots of photos and updates during their stay and even asked questions when needed. I would recommend and will definitely be bringing my dogs back to see Amy.”
“Heather is incredible! My dog had a blast staying with her! I received an update every morning and lots of pictures! I have never felt better leaving my dog, I don’t think my dog wanted to come home because he was having so much fun!”
“Thank you so much Gretchen & Marc! You are so fabulous with Jimmy. You make leaving Jimmy in your care so worry free allowing us to enjoy our time away. I especially love the photo updates. I can’t recommend your services enough. We feel so lucky that we found you.”

“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times, and every time is great. He cries when we leave. Caylei was very flexible with me this time, as the weather was bad and I was nervous to drive on the day I was supposed to pick him up, so she let me add an additional day at the last minute. I really appreciate the flexibility. And as always, I appreciate that she loves my boy!”
“Michael did a great job looking after Lia, he was super responsive and sent pictures and updates thoughput the stay, he made sure she took all of her medicine, and helped socialize her with other dogs for the first time! Highly recommend and I would trust Michael with Lia again!”
