Personalized care for your dog or cat - Amber
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Amber
“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“This was our first Rover experience and it was awesome! Our beagle Penny loved Aryal! Definitely rebooking with her and we are just thrilled that we found such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby!! Everything went so smoothly - from the initial meeting to picking up Penny when we returned. It is such a relief to know our furry family member is being treated so well and we don't have to worry about her since Aryal has so much experience with dogs!”
“We are SO grateful for Kat. She allowed our Dakota to stay in her home for a week while we were away for our wedding. Before the week vacation began, I was so nervous to leave Dakota with someone I didn’t know, we’d never done that before. Though, Kat went above and beyond. She moved plants around in her home to help keep Dakota safe. She allowed Dakota to drink water from the sink, like she does at home, to help keep Dakota happy! During the stay, she sent pictures and updates each day. And at the end, she had everything packed and ready to go for me upon pick up! It couldn’t have been a better experience and Kat a more perfect sitter. We will definitely be asking Kat for her help in the future! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Ming looked after my dog for 4 days while I was out of town. It’s always a bit unnerving leaving your loved ones with someone else and I’ve had mixed experiences using Rover, but this was a very positive experience. Ming has a nice house, fenced yard and works from home, so he was able to give my dog a good amount of attention. He was very good about checking in every day and sending photos and, overall, a very responsive communicator. I will most definitely use Ming the next time I need a sitter!”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”
“We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!”
“We highly recommend Nate! His heart for dogs is deep and he created a great experience for our dog and for us! Nate went above and beyond and we are planning our next visit to see grandkids with our dog safely with Nate! Well done!”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“My wife and I LOVED Travis and Danielle. We booked them for five days and everything went smoothly. They adapted extremely well to our vocal Siberian husky and seemed to enjoy her company. They had a fenced in yard with playmates that kept her company while we were away which was nice. They are very thorough about asking ALL the questions on how to take care of your dog, they send you a questionnaire that’s all about your dogs needs and quirks which was so comforting to know they actually care - and this was before even having her. They are very prepared and send you a bunch of photos through a google drive link if you request daily updates (the photos were hilarious). They live in a great location and have outgoing personalities that’s hard not to like. They gave us a great experience so we will be booking with them for now on. Five stars all around, you will not regret choosing them!”
“Tiffany, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Windsir as always!! It truly means a lot to know he is in such kind and attentive hands. Your patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals really shows, and it makes all the difference. Windsor was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful. Thank you again for treating him like one of your own! 🐾”
“Houdini and Max enjoyed their stay with Ashley. I felt confident in her ability to take care of my pups, especially my old pup that takes meds daily. Thank you, Ashley! We will definitely use Ashley again in the future.”

“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“We loved Debra. & oh my, so did our Buddy Bear. She spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be using Debra again. We highly recommend her. She has a sweet, loving & cozy home. Your pups will love her back yard. ❤️❤️❤️🐶”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats. This includes taking care of my own cats, friends and family’s, as well as volunteering at a humane society. I have experience giving cats medication and ointment. I am comfortable with all ages of cats from kitten to senior.
About: I have had my own pet sitting business since I was 10 and have watched and cared all different breeds and even cats! I have a lot of experience with large, high-energy hunting breeds and ensure that each pup gets enough exercise each day. My favs are the dog park and the beach! I also trained my golden retriever, Harper in agility! In my free time I love to volunteer at the animal shelter, to give back! So I have experience with pets with separation anxiety and those that aren’t friendly with other pets! I ensure all pet parents are updated with pictures and videos! I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!
“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”
About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby.

About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.
About: I’ve had cats ever since I was growing up, and I’ve always had a deep love and connection with all pets, but cats specifically. Every cat has a special and unique personality and I love that about them! I have experience caring for cats of all different personalities and am happy to provide and care for your cat the way that’s most like home to them. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, and giving you peace of mind while away.
“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”
“Peyton was an amazing sitter!! She sent so many pictures. Took care of our pup and our kitties were just there hanging out. She still took pics of our cats! Would recommend 1000/10.”

“My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.”
About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
“Our Maisey LOVED her time with Makenna and Ming. They were very responsive when I wanted to book with them and answered my questions quickly. You can tell that they really love their own dogs and really provide a safe and nurturing environment for all the puppies in their care. Thanks for taking such good care of Maisey!”
“First time with Ashleigh. Wilson seemed to have a great time. Got lots of pics. Ashleigh is an excellent communicator and a sweet person. I wish she was closer to me. I would have her sit very often.”
“Amanda and her family took great care of Connery, this Saturday! Connery came home happy and tired. He made fast friends with Amanda's dogs. We totally trust her and will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and experienced with leash handling and basic training cues. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.

Thanks! Hi guys! I’m Chrissy. I have been dog sitting for over 6 years now. I love dogs more than people & I love spoiling your babies.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover based near Cedar Rapids/Iowa City with a flexible schedule and have always had a genuine love for pets of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to be trusted to love and care for many other pets! Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, drop-in care, or overnight company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m active, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m happy to follow specific routines, medication instructions, feeding schedules, and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I also have experience with dog training that increased my love and passion for handling all kinds of different dogs and pets. While caring for your pets I will always be sure to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I hope to work with you and care for your lovely pets! Pet care works out great because I have an extremely flexible schedule and would be able to make things work with you and what’s best for you and your pet. I am also available most weekends! I have experience with all kinds of different living situations and pet specific needs. I can adapt to any situation that works best for you and your pet!
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 13 and there was no limit too what I had at home I've taken care of them all I'm currently looking for another job cause I quit my factory job so I currently have open availability any time your pet need a sitter I'm your guy I stay in apartment with a nice park right up the road and other dogs stay within my complex my neighbor has a 1 yr old husky and she is the nicest cutest thing
About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.
About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.

“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“This was our first Rover experience and it was awesome! Our beagle Penny loved Aryal! Definitely rebooking with her and we are just thrilled that we found such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby!! Everything went so smoothly - from the initial meeting to picking up Penny when we returned. It is such a relief to know our furry family member is being treated so well and we don't have to worry about her since Aryal has so much experience with dogs!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Ming looked after my dog for 4 days while I was out of town. It’s always a bit unnerving leaving your loved ones with someone else and I’ve had mixed experiences using Rover, but this was a very positive experience. Ming has a nice house, fenced yard and works from home, so he was able to give my dog a good amount of attention. He was very good about checking in every day and sending photos and, overall, a very responsive communicator. I will most definitely use Ming the next time I need a sitter!”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”
“We highly recommend Nate! His heart for dogs is deep and he created a great experience for our dog and for us! Nate went above and beyond and we are planning our next visit to see grandkids with our dog safely with Nate! Well done!”
“My wife and I LOVED Travis and Danielle. We booked them for five days and everything went smoothly. They adapted extremely well to our vocal Siberian husky and seemed to enjoy her company. They had a fenced in yard with playmates that kept her company while we were away which was nice. They are very thorough about asking ALL the questions on how to take care of your dog, they send you a questionnaire that’s all about your dogs needs and quirks which was so comforting to know they actually care - and this was before even having her. They are very prepared and send you a bunch of photos through a google drive link if you request daily updates (the photos were hilarious). They live in a great location and have outgoing personalities that’s hard not to like. They gave us a great experience so we will be booking with them for now on. Five stars all around, you will not regret choosing them!”
“Tiffany, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Windsir as always!! It truly means a lot to know he is in such kind and attentive hands. Your patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals really shows, and it makes all the difference. Windsor was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful. Thank you again for treating him like one of your own! 🐾”
“Houdini and Max enjoyed their stay with Ashley. I felt confident in her ability to take care of my pups, especially my old pup that takes meds daily. Thank you, Ashley! We will definitely use Ashley again in the future.”

“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“Pam watched our Standard Poodle for 8 nights. We had an absolutely amazing experience! She was outstanding from start to finish, her communication was consistent and thoughtful, with daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Sansa was clearly so well cared for, she got daily walks, tons of attention, and was honestly spoiled in the best way. It was obvious she was treated like part of the family. Her home is beautiful and very well maintained, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. That kind of genuine care is hard to find. We will 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust with their pet.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“I can't recommend Olivia enough! We were in town for a graduation and our Airbnb didn't allow pets. I needed to secure a boarding place for my little maltipoo ASAP. Olivia accommodated my schedule and need so well. I appreciated her taking my last minute request and keeping me updated with pictures/videos. My furbaby had a great time and my mind was at ease. You can count on Olivia!”
