“jacque was awesome! I’m always so nervous to leave my baby, but she put me at ease right when we met. ghost was sooooo happy and had a wonderful time while i was away! i’ll definitely call jacque again when i need her! ✨💚✨💚”
“Dale and Lauren were great. We got daily pictures and updates on our dog, Milo. They maintained great communication throughout his stay. We will definitely use Dale and Lauren again.”
“Tracey was super patient with all our pre-visit inquiries & requests. She met w/us beforehand to introduce her mom and show us the room where Bootsie would be housed. Tracey’s mom was a very loving & attentive pet sitter!! Even tho she has two cats of her own, she thoughtfully provided a separate litter box & scratching post for Bootsie’s visit. She was very sensitive to his initial nervousness & gave him extra TLC at the beginning of his stay. We really appreciated the daily photos which Tracey texted every day & have already inquired as to Bootsie’s next stay w/them!!”
“This was our first time sending our dog off to a sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Kyrie and her family did a wonderful job watching Tuxedo, our boston terrier. We were gone for a whole week. She sent daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”
“McKenley and her husband were so great with Athena ! They took her in like she was their own. They were very open to letting me come visit and had great communication throughout the time of her being there. Athena had a great time with their little pug, going on walks and hikes. I would definitely recommend this little family and will use them again in the future if need be !”
“Jess (and family) were absolutely fantastic with our pup while we were off island for nearly 3 weeks! Jess was wonderful with communication and provided updates as well as pictures and videos every single day. They spoiled our pup as if he was their own, and even took extra care on the 4th of July to ensure he wasn't too anxious. He was happy and energized when we picked him up! I can't recommend Jess enough!”
“Just 4 days before this last stay with Joel, our dog had gotten severely attacked & bitten by another dog, at a local park. Bozzer (our puppy), was still in the early stages of healing. Joel was so kind to still take our dog, knowing he had to care for him a lot more than usual. Joel was AWESOME! He knew exactly what to do & reached out to us only when needed. Joel was versed with knowing how to administer Bozzer’s medication. I highly recommend Joel, to anyone looking for a GREAT sitter who is knowledgable about dogs, and is kind, loving & caring.”
“Krysta and Peter are wonderful people and were so easy to work with! They took the best care of our dog Luna. We will always go back to them for any of our future dog sitting needs in the Kailua area😄 They were so thoughtful, kept us updated with great photos, and reassured us that we had nothing to worry about, given it being our first time using the app. Highly recommend!”
“Our hunny bunny loved his stay with Diana and family. Diana sends updates daily with pictures which made us feel at ease. Will definitely book with her again!!!”
About: Throughout college I cared for many dogs for family, friends, and as a side gig. I am experienced in dog walking, feeding, oral medication administration, and light grooming. I always enjoy sending pictures of your pet to show what a great time we are having! As a stay at home mom, I have great flexibility. I would also like to share that I have two friendly dogs that are kennel and potty trained in our home and a two year old daughter. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and do light care during the day. As for overnight care, we have two dogs that love pet friends as long as they are friendly and get along with others. We typically go to an on-leash park in the evenings and do outings on weekend mornings. We have two small, friendly dogs and a toddler that will keep your dog more than entertained! We have a small outdoor area for on-leash play and are a three minute drive to a big park/field where we have a good dog community. We want your dog to feel comfortable and happy during their stay so the first 24 hours is just about learning about your dog and gaining their trust!
“We had a wonderful experience with Yvette. She took excellent care of our dog for an entire week and gave us great peace of mind with regular updates and photos. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Brianda is an amazing dog sitter. Super friendly, great communication, and keeps me updated with pictures and check ins on what my rascal is doing. She is good with dogs and im happy that Leia has sometimes other sweet dogs she can hang out with.”
“Angie took great care of our dog, Koa, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“My lab had so much fun at her house and came home happy and tired after the weekend. Samantha kept me updated with photos and even took the extra care to reach out to me about my dog's allergies. Drop off/pick up was easy as well. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Hugo had an amazing time. His first encounter to have a huge yard to play and explore. He definitely was spoiled. The family taking care of Hugo was awesome. They are trust worthy, under standing and accommodating . We also received daily updates and pics of Hugo’s progress which was really nice to get. We would definitely use them again and recommend his service .”
“Senne was very punctual and took great care of our fur babies. She sent us pictures everyday and cared for them so well. Will definitely add her to my list of sitters for my fur babies for when I need someone to watch them in the future.”
“We highly recommend Emma. Our pup was well cared for and had the best time napping on a big bean bag chair. Emma sent daily pictures and communication was easy. We will definitely board with Emma again.”
“100% would recommend!! Thank you Yiye, Ta and Irene for taking such wonderful care of Saint! The daily photos and videos were surely comforting to see him enjoying his time at your home. I appreciate your loving and caring attention with Saint and will be definitely requesting your dog sitting services in the future.”

“Samantha was incredible! I needed a sitter for my kitten at the very last minute and she was more than happy to help! Additionally, she happily volunteered to check on a few other things at my house while I was away. Her visit notes and high quality photos allowed me to enjoy my vacation while knowing that my pet was in good hands! Definitely recommend and plan to book with her again in the future!”
“Kalyn is absolutely exceptional! She took amazing care of my two cats and sent photos/rover cards that made me feel at ease knowing they were happy, thriving, and loved. She is such a wonderful and kind person! I will 1000% book with Kalyn again!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up caring for Labs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Huskies, and a Mini Goldendoodle — so I understand everything from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs. When I was 14 years old, I became the primary caregiver for my Chihuahua, who was under a year old when we brought her home. I cared for her throughout her entire life, including providing attentive, compassionate senior care as her needs changed in her later years. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to adjust care as dogs age. I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Andrea was wonderful. She took great care of our shy boy Julius and went above and beyond. We were so grateful to know we had someone kind, caring and responsible while we were away. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Alice was great with my shy cat and made me feel so comfortable being away with sending detailed updates and pictures! Really appreciated the attention, communication and thoughtfulness!😊”
“Laura did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was out of town for the weekend. Great communication during the entire weekend too. Highly recommend her service if you are in need of a pet sitter. Thanks so much Laura!!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our large black lab. We really appreciated her help with drop in visits and I highly recommend reaching out to her if she is available.”
“Victoria was prompt and friendly in her communication with us, and took great care of our cats! She provided very helpful updates and took some great photos, and was flexible when we needed to change our plans last minute. Would absolutely recommend Victoria, she was extremely helpful! =)”
“Dune has been loving Alyson's drop in visits to let him out during the day when we are working. She has great communication and sends lots of photos. She has good attention to detail and does more than asked, like checking his water bowl. Definitely recommend!”
“Michaela continues to be our go-to petsitter for our two kitties while we are out of town! She is communicative, goes above and beyond to love on our kitties and sends great photo updates. We really appreciate knowing our babies are in good hands when we leave town. Thank you for all your help, Michaela!”
“Shelby was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Miki! From the moment we connected, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She made sure Miki was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away, and I could tell Miki felt safe and happy with her. Shelby sent thoughtful updates and gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter.”
“Alexis was so attentive to our babies! She not only accepted our last minute request but also sent plenty of pictures and had detailed updates. She is a true animal lover and was so affectionate to our two cats. Would book again!!”
“Shienne really helped us in a bind for care for our two kitties. She was super responsive, and even handled an issue with our cat’s feeder without ever having seen it before. Our cats seemed to warm up to her quickly, too, even without having met her prior to care!”
“Lani’s stay seemed to go very well and she adapted sooner than I expected. I got pictures of her stay every day if not every other day. She looked at home and comfortable. Had great communication with how the stay went. All and all everything went better than I expected! I’d say I’m very satisfied. Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of lani!😊”

“Our dogs were very happy! New to the island, dogs are adjusting. Lauren and Dale kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the dogs’ stay. Highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work fully from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so very loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband who is as pup-obsessed as me works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
“Ori had a great time hanging out with Daisy and all of her new friends! We received frequent updates and would happily bring her back again for another play date”
“This was my very first time using Rover. Tracey and her mom was very professional. Tracey answered my messages right away, they sent pictures throughout the day, I got a summery of the day and TK seemed happy to be there. I would definitely leave my baby with Tracey and her mom again! They understand that our furry babies are so precious to us!”
About: Aloha! Official animal lover here, who’s had and taken care of various types of pets from Tarantulas, Turtles, Hamsters, Gerbils, Chameleons, parakeets, frogs, to rabbits, fish, cats and dogs! I would love to watch your furbaby and take great care of her/him! I’m experienced with caring for dogs of all stages, big or small. I like to exercise, so your dog will get plenty of exercise (walk or run) with me:) I also speak Japanese and Spanish! I do not work, but do travel often to mainland as I have elderly parents. So when I’m on island I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. My husband works from home, and we recently bought a spacious single-family home with a yard and large lanai, so your dogs can enjoy hanging out inside or outside.
“Will use again! Lily and her 2 beautiful pups were very nice and accommodating. Lily was very flexible working with me, and our dogs got along well and even got some energy out of my dog. Her home is clean and welcoming for pets and even has a backyard. Thank you again.”
“Rebekah and Nova are the best! My little dog LOVES to spend the day with them - he always looks so content when I pick him up. She’s so considerate and very flexible. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“After my last river sister moved away, I was a apprehensive about someone else watching Thumper. Hailey and Benjamin made everything easy from the first meet and great, slowly introducing their dogs one at a time and then letting them all roam around their yard, to the first drop off. Thumper was a bit nervous when he was dropped off, but slowly calmed down and enjoyed himself there. Everything made me calm down as well. I got a check-in update and lots of pictures. I am excited for his next visit and glad I found someone that both Thumper and I are both comfortable with!!!!”
“Truffles loved his time with Arianna and family. Lots of great fun with zoomies in the park, walks, and resting snuggles with the family. Truffles had a great time, with lots of photo/videos of his fun time. Highly recommend.”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. From dogs, cats and horses. I’m experienced with senior dogs to puppies. Experienced with medication administration. Available for last minute drop ins to weekend sitting. Look forward to meeting your fur babies. I currently work a very flexible full time job. I work a day shift. My husband works graveyard. So someone will always be with your pet I live in a dog friendly apartment that is on the first floor so is ideal for senior dogs having hard time walking. I will ensure they are walked and feed when needed. If baths or medication is needed to be administered I am able to do this as well.
“Truffles has such great fun and memories with Nichole and family! He really loves all the s uggling and attention they give, as well as the fun activities with furry friends and people. Definitely recommend!”
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.
“James is the BEST ever! He takes care of our fur baby, Maya, like she is his own. She LOVES him and is so excited to see him!! We are so fortunate to have found her BFF!!”
“Makayla was very patient with my Labrador puppy despite a hectic drop off. My puppy was anxiously barking, jumping & whining. Makayla did a great job comforting her, took her on several walks and to the dog park to play fetch. I know my puppy can be a handful, so I’m extremely grateful that doggy day care went so well! I would hire Makayla again.”
About: Aloha! I have grew up with many pets. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, quail, chameleons, birds, fish, axolotl and my favorite dogs. I believe in routine and positive training. I am available most of the day to help give your pet enrichment,check ins, attention, feeding, snacks, grooming or time to relieve them self and get fresh air I offer home check ins, at home or yard play and enrichment.

I am open to help with other grooming needs as long as pet allows.
“Rose is the perfect dogsitter! My husband and I both work and need someone to watch our Shiba mix or take her on two walks, and Rose was so flexible and easy to work with. Best of all she was so careful introducing our pup to other dogs walking with her, all my anxiety was for nothing :) 10/10 will be booking with Rose again!”
“Naudia and Ayerim are great. My standard poodle is happily content after a day with them. He looks forward to each day he gets to spend time with them and Acey.”

“Alyson is awesome, always on time, and always keeps us updated in how our dog does on her walks. We are using a dog walker every other week to expose our fearful dog to more people (recommended by trainer). We appreciate Alyson being part of our journey in helping our pup being less fearful.”
About: Aloha! I am a dog-loving, mom of three boys, two dogs, and a military spouse of 15 years. Being flexible and dependable is pretty much my lifestyle. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve personally cared for my own since I was an adult. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Okinawa Stray Pet Rescue. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, all sizes, and dogs from newborn puppy to 15 year old seniors with very limited mobility. I am probably over paranoid when it comes to safety, so you can trust that your dog will be in good, responsible hands! I understand that each dog is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in who you choose to care for your fur baby, and I’m happy to provide what your pup needs! My only time constraints are shuttling kids to and from school and activities so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! As previously mentioned, I am very cautious and your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have personally owned dogs who are “runners” so I’m constantly aware of my surroundings and the dog’s behavior when caring for them.
“Ashley walked my dog for an hour each day over two weeks, giving her a some regular attention, stimulation and exercise. She was patient, as my dog is shy and takes time to warm up to new people. The walks went smoothly, and I felt like I had nothing to worry about. Ashley easily followed instructions, took lots of photos, and gave useful updates. She was reliable, punctual, and I know my dog looked forward to her midday walks. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!”

About: Proud dad of two adult dogs! Studying for the Hawaii Bar Exam and looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! I’d love to take your doggie out for a walk! Studying full time for now, at home. Partner works full time. Primary caretaker for our two dogs - food, meds, walks. I am home all day, with transportation. For boarding, I will be in the house almost constantly. For my own dogs, I manage their medication and feeding. We walk several times a day and get out to the dog park or the beach every day.

“Sophie was so sweet and an excellent communicator! We appreciate her taking our boys out and navigating around construction happening on our condo. Will definitely book her again!! ?”
“Nicole was fantastic! She bonded with our dog right away and put us and him at ease. She’s been easy to work with and takes special care of our pet, all you can ask of someone coming to your home to take care of your pet. Highly recommend Nicole !”
“Fantastic job walking our puppy, feeding him and playing with him. Also super professional and knowledgeable about dogs and puppy devlopement. Absolute Pleasure to work with with.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intention I bring to each visit. I don’t rush through walks or treat them as routine tasks—I make sure your dog gets real engagement, structure, and positive interaction every time. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm check-in, I adapt to what your pet needs that day so they come back happy, balanced, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and visits around the pet’s needs rather than forcing them into a rigid time slot. Since I’m already home throughout the day, I’m able to provide consistent availability, quick response times, and reliable scheduling for morning, midday, and evening care. I can also easily adjust my routine if a pet needs extra attention, a longer walk, or last-minute care. Overall, my flexibility lets me prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being while making sure owners can count on dependable, stress-free support. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and consistent environment while making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions provided so nothing is disrupted. During visits, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience—whether that means structured walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just calm companionship for pets who prefer a quieter presence. I also make sure to communicate updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last several years—from taking care of my neighbors dogs when I was younger to owning my own dog! I currently dog sit for a family in the Kailua area :) Since I’m a part time nanny, I have availability in the mornings and afternoons (also late evenings) on weekdays preferably! Weekend availability is usually flexible of course! Whether it’s dogs, I love taking them on walks or throwing around a ball/toy with them! With cats, I love playing with them and just cuddling & petting them! I love keeping my pets at home company, so I’m pretty much the same as a pet sitter :)
“Laura helped with our dogs when we were on vacation. We scheduled a time for her to meet them when we arrived, so they were familiar with her. She was awesome and took good care of our babies! It's obvious, she loves pups.”

“Dale and Lauren were great. We got daily pictures and updates on our dog, Milo. They maintained great communication throughout his stay. We will definitely use Dale and Lauren again.”
“Jess (and family) were absolutely fantastic with our pup while we were off island for nearly 3 weeks! Jess was wonderful with communication and provided updates as well as pictures and videos every single day. They spoiled our pup as if he was their own, and even took extra care on the 4th of July to ensure he wasn't too anxious. He was happy and energized when we picked him up! I can't recommend Jess enough!”
“Krysta and Peter are wonderful people and were so easy to work with! They took the best care of our dog Luna. We will always go back to them for any of our future dog sitting needs in the Kailua area😄 They were so thoughtful, kept us updated with great photos, and reassured us that we had nothing to worry about, given it being our first time using the app. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Yvette. She took excellent care of our dog for an entire week and gave us great peace of mind with regular updates and photos.

“My lab had so much fun at her house and came home happy and tired after the weekend. Samantha kept me updated with photos and even took the extra care to reach out to me about my dog's allergies. Drop off/pick up was easy as well. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Hugo had an amazing time. His first encounter to have a huge yard to play and explore. He definitely was spoiled. The family taking care of Hugo was awesome. They are trust worthy, under standing and accommodating . We also received daily updates and pics of Hugo’s progress which was really nice to get. We would definitely use them again and recommend his service .”

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.
“Here’s a warm and appreciative Rover review you can post for Daylin: Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She made sure to walk and feed her on schedule and kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of and getting the attention she needed. I really appreciate how responsible, caring, and attentive Daylin was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“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 🐾”
“Lily did an absolutely awesome job. I contacted her with a last minute boarding request and she was very accommodating. She took great care of Reuben and I knew I didn’t have to worry while he was with her.”
“Kate and her military family were absolutely wonderful with Kaila! They kept us updated with detailed notes and plenty of pictures throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is super convenient—right across from the airport—and the whole family treated Kaila with such kindness and care. They were very communicative and easy to work with, and it was a huge plus that they also have doodles, so Kaila felt right at home. They followed her strict diet perfectly and made sure she was comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Kate and her family to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter—and we’ll definitely be asking them to care for Kaila again in the future!”
“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!”
