“Thank you for taking such great care of Milly. She was very happy when we picked her up and I could tell she had been well taken care of while we were away. Appreciate all of the pictures and communication while we traveled.”
“Taylor and Kevin took great care of our golden, Pemba, over the weekend. She went on many adventures with them—to the park, on walks, even out to eat! Pemba got lots of love, attention, and belly rubs. Taylor is very patient and understanding with Pemba and super communicative. We got lots of updates so we knew exactly what they were up to. Thanks so much for taking wonderful care of Pemba!”
“1st time leaving Bailey with sitter. They are the best. She sent pictures every day to put me at ease. Bailey had fun with the other dogs. I will be using them again, and highly recommend their service.***** I'll be back!!!”
“We can’t recommend Jacque enough! She sent us picture updates of Phoebe at least once a day and was super responsive to us. You could tell from the photos and videos that Phoebe had an absolute blast with Jacque. Phoebe’s tail was always wagging!”
“Diana was AWESOME!! Fantastic communication from initial inquiry, meet-up, drop-off and throughout our trip. Kept us updated with messages and pictures every day. Her home was great with lots of space indoors and out. Fenced yard and air conditioning inside were both BIG pluses! Our corgi was well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Ace had a wonderful stay with Emma! She is so warm and kind. Loved that she sent a video of Ace and a photo right before bed. Totally eased my mind and was worry free about him. Will definitely have Ace stay with her again. :) Thank you Emma.”
“We have been using Daylin now for a while. She is so sweet with our dog, Winnie. Winnie loves going there and she’s treated like a little princess. Love giving her updates and the fact that they go on walks together. I totally recommend using Daylin for your next Pet sitter”
“We are so grateful for Daisy! Our pup Lily stayed with her for 2 nights and had the best time. Daisy was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell she’s calm, caring, and genuinely loves dogs. When we picked Lily up, she was happily tired out from all the playtime and fun she had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Daisy again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pup like family!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Abigail and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Yuzu, while we were away for two weeks. Daily photos including trips to the beach and the park put our minds at ease, and we would definitely have Yuzu stay with her family again in the future!”
“Ayla took fantastic care of my dog! I greatly appreciated the updates and photos along the way! My dog came home tired and so happy. 😁 Highly recommend!!!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”

“Haily and Benjamin took excellent care of my little furson Cooper! I really appreciated all of the pics and messages. It's great to have such responsible and caring sitters!”
“It's not easy to leave your pet with a stranger, but after meeting Naudia and Acey I felt at ease. There was a huge storm during my dog's stay, but Naudia found ways to keep him occupied indoors and I got frequent photos and updates. Naudia has an easy way with dogs, especially active, curious and attention-seeking ones like mine. I'd be very happy to leave my dog in her care again.”
About: I recently lost my senior babie due to old age. I'm wanting to fill that spot by helping others with their fur babies. I have no other animals at home. I'm good with large dogs. My babie was dog averse so very good with dogs who need a little extra patience on walks, etc... I've sat small and medium dogs. I've sat several cats. I can issue meds as needed. Well rounded in senior care. Looking to love and care for those that don't want to be boarded or are most comfy at home. I work full time 7-4pm. I can visits prior and after work. If you're close enough to down town, I may be able to coordinate a lunch check up. I'm free in the evenings after 430pm. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so there is full time care available those days as well as most Saturdays and Sundays. I am now a pet free home. I have a small yard at my apartment that has gates on either side. I have an easy walking neighborhood with lots of potty spots. I've walked large dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. I've not walked a cat yet, but willing to try. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. My apartment has inside cameras for viewing when I'm at work. Please reach out with any questions at all.

“Jamie was wonderful with Shiro! I really appreciated that she would message me before each visit and send plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well while I was away. She did a great job giving him his medication every day and communicated clearly whenever she had any questions or updates. I felt very comfortable knowing Shiro was in good hands with her. I would definitely use Jamie’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much, Jamie!”
“Lyndi did such a great job with Meadow, and was great at sending plenty of photos of my cat which allowed me to just enjoy my time away from home since I knew meadow was in good hands. Meadow definitely loved her as well and all the playtimes and treats, thank you so much Lyndi!!”
“Sydney is great! Would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. Took the stress away from leaving my bunnies for a week. Followed instructions well and could tell she really cares about animals.”
About: Ive had cats since before I could remember and am the biggest cat lover. Family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their cat has the loving care they need (feeding, cleanliness, playing, and grooming). I am a patient and playful sitter for your sweet cat!
“Was able to accommodate me last minute and my kitties loved her! She followed all my instructions and provided lots of pics! Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Claudia was absolutely wonderful! She dropped in with our cat for 3 days and had great communication, friendliness, and lots of experience. I would happily trust her to look after him again! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone attentive and engaged with both you and your pet :)”
“Kristie was great and handled my puppy like a pro! He was reluctant to get back in his crate but she took great care of him and made sure he was secure until I got home. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was 15 years old! I love watching kitties and ensuring they receive cuddles, timely feedings and alone time if they are the solitude type. A fun fact about me is I raised a kitten from 3 days old, his name is Sigmund! I also have base access so I can help military families with their furry family members as well!
“Darby went ABOVE and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for and well loved, changing their litter when we ran into some issues and going back an extra time when their auto feeder ran out. They also were so much more comfortable because of her which I appreciate more than anything!! She’s such a gem!”
“Josh was great! He provided updates, and photos every day which gave me confidence that are cats were being cared for. During our trip, there was heavy rain which caused our ceiling to collapse in one of our bathrooms. Josh informed us immediately and provided photos of the damaged areas. He tried to help by cleaning up any water that came through and cleaned up debris. Will definitely utilize his services again.”
About: Hi there I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and engaged. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible until you’re home again.

“It was my first time using dog daycare, and Daisy was great! She replied really fast and was super friendly with Spotty. She sent me photos during the day, and Spotty looked so happy. He had such a good time that we’ve already booked our next daycare with her!”
“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”

“Naudia is very responsive and love that she can take my pup to an enclosed area for him to exercise in the middle of the day and provides companionship with her other doggy day care companions.”
“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”
“Annie is absolutely great! Pancho loved her. She has taken care of him twice so far and he had the best time with her. She ensured he remains active, and she kept us updated with pics. She is very attentive and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. We are definitely booking her again!”
About: My pups are my heart and my life! 💖 They are the center of my world, and like many of us pet parents, I take care of my sweet babies better than I care for myself. My husband and I have had our little Marshmallow for 12 wonderful years and counting! For six amazing years, we also had our sweet CocoBear, whom we adopted as a senior with multiple health issues requiring special care. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge, but she is still loved, missed, and cherished by us every single day. Now that it’s just Marshmallow, she’d love some company! She’s super friendly and gets along very well with other doggies! 😊 Although I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for pets! I've been dog-sitting for over 12 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to dogs, I’ve had hamsters, rabbits, and birds throughout my life, and I’m also a very proud cat auntie! 🥰 I have very high standards when it comes to caring for my own babies, and I treat any pup in my care as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your baby with someone else, so making both you and your pup feel comfortable and at ease is incredibly important to me. I’ll make sure your baby feels safe, happy, loved, spoiled, and right at home! I also love sending pet parents lots of photos and videos because I know just how much you’ll be missing them. 💖 As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to give your pup constant attention, companionship, cuddles, and care. I have tons of love to give, and I’d love to shower your baby with all the love and affection in my heart! An added bonus: my husband also has a very flexible schedule and is home much of the time, so that’s double the TLC! Your baby will be petted and pampered and treated like the precious gem that they are! 🥹 I take so much pride in providing the best care, and I can’t wait to treat your baby (or babies) to a fun vacation and a warm, loving home away from home while you’re away! 🥰 I am a stay at home dog mama, so your baby will have all my time and attention! Additionally, my husband has a flexible schedule, so that’s double the love your baby (or babies) will receive! 💕🐶 My husband, pup, and I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. We have a lanai where we have fresh sod that dogs can use for going potty any time they need in addition to their daily walks! Dogs are allowed on our furniture and our bed - everywhere! I am very flexible and can adapt to whatever your dog’s needs are.
“Had our first daycare with Karinne and the pups came out smiling! She was very thorough from before meeting to during and with good follow up after; took time to understand each of their behaviors and personalities; and showed a lot of care and kindness. Deeply appreciative of having someone to trust and watch my doggies especially since they have a bit of separation anxiety. They were calm and pleasantly tired after long day!”
About: I am a passionate animal lover, my dedication and genuine love for dogs set me apart from other sitters. I believe that building a strong bond with each furry companion is essential for a successful dog sitting experience. I am a fast learner and willing to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, whether it be training puppies or providing gentle care for seniors. My commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment, coupled with my innate understanding of canine behavior, allows me to offer a warm and loving atmosphere for your beloved pets. Rest assured, they will be in caring and responsible hands throughout their stay with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, and I find immense joy in spending time with animals. As I'm currently in the process of preparing for my upcoming studies, I am seeking a meanwhile job that aligns with my passion for pets. Caring for animals brings me a sense of fulfillment and allows me to make a positive impact in their lives while also earning some income to support my academic pursuits. I am committed to providing exceptional pet care, ensuring their well-being, and creating a loving environment that will put pet owners' minds at ease while they are away. This experience will not only be beneficial for the pets but also serve as a rewarding and enriching experience for me during this transitional phase. At my home, caring for pets is a top priority and a labor of love. Every furry friend receives personalized attention and a safe, comfortable environment. From the moment they step through the door, I ensure they feel welcomed and at ease. Regular exercise and engaging playtime are provided to keep them happy and healthy. Hygiene is maintained with regular potty breaks. Additionally, ample cuddle and snuggle time are offered to create a bond and provide reassurance. Safety measures are strictly adhered to, such as secure fencing and pet-friendly spaces. I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with affection, care, and attention to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free.
“Deanne is always great, Mei Mei is always happy and excited to see her. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and is always responsive. Very detailed with care.”
About: I've been around dogs all my life - my dad was a police dog trainer, so I learned first hand how to take great care of them. I have my own border collie named Jenna, she's 6 years old and loves other dogs. I work from home, so I am able to take your dog out frequently and give them lots of love and attention throughout the day. I live next to multiple dog parks and in a dog friendly building. I also have my own border collie who loves other animals so your pup can make a new friend. I am flexible, so if there's any specific requests you have I can most likely accommodate.
“Aris took such great care of my little fur baby. She was very nurturing and so kind. She sent updates often and gave my baby all of her attention. I would definitely recommend! Thank you Aris for taking care of Sammie! She had so much fun with you! ❤️”
About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.
“Family is awesome, they were able to take in our dog on short notice. Our girl Tilly came home tired, she was able to get all her energy out. We appreciate you guys!”
“This was our first time using Rover for dog daycare. As soon as we met them we felt relieved because they are very nice and trustworthy. Even though it was short stay this time, they sent a lot of pictures. Which really helped put us at ease. Before we tried daycare, we were a little worried because our dog is shy to other dog but their Golden retriever, Simba is very nice and friendly, too. We are sure this was good experience for our dog. We will use their daycare service again!”
About: After the death of our beloved dog, our family decided to take a break from dog ownership to heal and rest a bit. I have had dogs (usually more than 1 at a time) my whole life! Pet sitting is my way of loving on dogs during this busy stage of life when I cannot have my own. I would love to shower your dog with lots of love and attention! We do have a kitten in our home. She has adjusted very well to having dogs around. We are a homeschool family and are at home or near home most every day. I would never have to leave your pet for any extended period of time. Not only do we have a fenced in yard, but also live walking distance to a couple of beautiful parks, beaches, and a small dog park. Please be aware that I do have small children. Ages 3, 6, 10, & 12. I will love your pet like my own! Your beloved pet will have snuggles and pets and enjoy walks outside to our local park and dog park if you approve. I live in a beautiful area and love to be outside with furry friends.

About: I've been around animals since I was young so caring for them has always come naturally for me. I genuinely take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and am super patience with those that might need extra bit of attention or care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. Friends and family usually reach out to me in regards to taking care of their pets because of how much I enjoy spending time around animals, but also the level of care, patience, and love I provide. I'm excited to hopefully do the same with you! I'm currently an active Marine, however my current schedule is very flexible. I work a typical 8-4, and I'm 100% free on the weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and keep their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important trust is when someone is allowing me to care for their pet and enter their home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with respect. I pay close attention to a pet's behavior and surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and communicate with owners so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands.

I will ensure safety when taking care of my client’s pets by following all instructions given to me and ensuring safety at all times. The dog will always remain leashed on walks and during and after walks each dog will be given water to cool down. I will provide photos of your dog during our walk/visit to keep clients updated on how their dog is doing and to help them feel relieved knowing their dog is being safely taken care of.

About: I’ve had pets at my family home in Minnesota since the day I was born and I’ve taken care of various friends or families pets while they’ve been on vacations or in emergencies. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, so I have experience with younger animals as well. My dog back home in Minnesota is a Newfoundland, so safe to say I’m ok with big dogs, and my husky is a ball of energy so I can take dogs with strength! I’m also interested in running with dogs, if that’s something your pup would be up for! I currently work at daycare canter and work shifts that are normally around 5 hours long, and work 3-5 days. I recently graduated with my degree is Early Childhood Education, and hope to become a teacher one day:) My pets are used to having walks, or being in gated off areas. My husky is a sprinter so I’m good at being aware of what doors I’m leaving open and making sure she’s securely where she should be.
About: I have always loved animals and grew up with sisters who train police dogs, service dogs, big and small dogs as well as my own dog. I love dogs and have been with them since I was a kid. I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.

As for my skills, animals tend to feel calm and relaxed around me & I have experience with grooming, walking, and feeding animals. I am responsible, diligent, punctual, caring, and patient. I love spending time outdoors in nature with animals. I enjoy the company of dogs and cats as well as playing with them. I am available in the daytime with a flexible schedule between 6am and 11am. Depending on your dogs physical activity range or exercising needs, I can customize the walk to be more active or more relaxed for them. I can walk your dog to Central Park depending on the distance or their favorite nearby park. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a flexible availability to care for your pet as needed, including house-sitting. With 1 week advance notice, I can accommodate to meet the care days you're looking for. I easily adapt to what your pet needs and actively focus on ensuring they have the best experience by starting with the basics of care such as having food, water, and toys available. I monitor their energy levels to see how they're doing and when they are ready for a walk or playtime, with a fresh water refill right after!

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Abigail and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Yuzu, while we were away for two weeks. Daily photos including trips to the beach and the park put our minds at ease, and we would definitely have Yuzu stay with her family again in the future!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“Charlene was super flexible and communicative, she sent pictures of our dog at her place. Our dog seemed comfortable and happy to be with her. We plan to use Charlene again!!!”
“It's not easy to leave your pet with a stranger, but after meeting Naudia and Acey I felt at ease. There was a huge storm during my dog's stay, but Naudia found ways to keep him occupied indoors and I got frequent photos and updates. Naudia has an easy way with dogs, especially active, curious and attention-seeking ones like mine. I'd be very happy to leave my dog in her care again.”
About: I recently lost my senior babie due to old age. I'm wanting to fill that spot by helping others with their fur babies. I have no other animals at home. I'm good with large dogs. My babie was dog averse so very good with dogs who need a little extra patience on walks, etc... I've sat small and medium dogs. I've sat several cats. I can issue meds as needed. Well rounded in senior care. Looking to love and care for those that don't want to be boarded or are most comfy at home. I work full time 7-4pm. I can visits prior and after work. If you're close enough to down town, I may be able to coordinate a lunch check up. I'm free in the evenings after 430pm. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so there is full time care available those days as well as most Saturdays and Sundays. I am now a pet free home. I have a small yard at my apartment that has gates on either side. I have an easy walking neighborhood with lots of potty spots. I've walked large dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. I've not walked a cat yet, but willing to try. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. My apartment has inside cameras for viewing when I'm at work. Please reach out with any questions at all.
“Jessica took great care of our dog. We got updates with pictures and videos on a daily basis. He got a lot of exercise in their fenced in yard. We would definitely use again!”
About: I petsit frequently for family, friends and neighbors for weeks at a time in my home and their homes. I have years of experience around all kinds of different animals. I understand different personalities in pets and can work around them. I stay at home with my two kids, who love animals. My schedule is always open so I am able to follow a unique routine. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys, energetic kids and two cats. One cat likes to play outside while the other stays inside. I have rooms set up in my home for animals who prefer to be by themselves.
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Kea would love to stay with Katharine and David again. He was very well taken care of. He was able to go on an adventure. He liked having his walks and making new friends!”
“Angie was absolutely wonderful! She and her son Took such great care of my two pups ! She was able to help me out in a pinch and pick up and deliver the pups back home. I love that she sent me pictures and updates of how they were doing! I will definitely have her as my number one Sitter when I am in Annapolis!”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Greg was communicative and clearly loves dogs. I could tell my babies were in good hands getting lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats. I will definitely be using Greg again for future petsitting needs! Thanks!”
“Krysta and Pete were outstanding! They were so communicative, and so inclusive of our dog Koa. We loved the multiple photos per day and daily updates. These two will definitely make your animal feel at home while you’re away and that’s the most relieving part of it all. My dog loves to play and be stimulated while simultaneously being around “his humans”, which I can tell from he updates that’s what he now considers this family! I will always look to board Koa with them in the future. Many mahalos again for loving on our guy while we were away.”
“We had the best experience with Megan and her family taking care of our pup Margo! Margo got plenty of exercise and care while we were out of town. Megan was super communicative and flexible.”
“Yvette was truly great! The pups had a wonderful time with her and she gave daily updates. She was very accommodating to my last minute changing schedule. Was so happy to have been able to book her and love on the pups!”
“Christine provided an amazing blend of professionalism and genuine thoughtful care for my beloved fur baby. She was knowledgable and forthcoming about her own pets' personalities and ability to incorporate Kala into their home. Her daily pics, videos, and commentary let me know how Kala was truly doing and what they were doing for her to have the best experience away from us. It wasn't just "fluff" it was genuine care and concern for Kala's wellbeing and our piece of mind. I without hesitation would provide the highest of recommendation for her providing the best of care.”
“Highly recommend! Kate was very professional and took great care of my dog. She is very responsive and sent plenty of photos and updates during the stay. My dog had a great time playing with Kate's dogs.”
