“Christina is amazing and I can’t recommend her enough. I was very uncertain about Stella’s ability to be around other dogs but Christina had patience and took a methodical approach to introducing her to the other dogs at her home. Stella had the best time and for the first time in a long time, got to socialize with other dogs. We will definitely be back.”
“We loved having our dogs stay with Ali and would highly recommend her!! Ali was very communicative and flexible throughout the dogs stay. And our dogs had an amazing time with her!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’ll admit I was nervous but Josh was amazing. He watched Nova for 4 nights in his home. He gave me multiple updates per day with photos. Josh walked Nova twice per day. He was extremely kind and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone who is hesitant about the whole Rover process. So glad we didn’t have to board our dog and she could have a place to stay and be loved while we were out of the country.”
“Chrissy was amazing with Albert, the daily pictures made us know he was loved and cared for! Albert says 4 paws up for Chrissy! Nobody better than Chrissy for your dog to have a vacation with!”
“Trish was amazing with Finnegan! She was super responsive and I could tell from the pictures and videos she was sending me that he had a blast. I will definitely be bringing Finn back to her and I highly recommend others to do the same.”
“Robert was so helpful with Braxton! We had a last minute cancellation, and needed help with almost no notice. He replied quickly and was happy to work with us for drop off and pick up. Brax had a great time and we definitely will be reaching out again!”
“Emily took care of my Bucky for 5 days while I took a trip back to my hometown. She always kept up updated and sent lots of pictures of him ! It help me feel calm and relieved knowing he was in good hands while I was away and was having so much fun with bowser and odie !! I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting your babies!”
“Absolutely fantastic people and dog sitters. This was our first experience leaving our babies in the hands of non family. It was worth every penny. The peace of mind and fantastic care they provided is unmatched. We will 1,000% be using DL and Libby for all vacations and long weekends that they are available. Thank you guys!”
“Brooke was communicative, understanding of accomodations for our dogs, and sent lots of photos! We would definitely recommend her. The dogs came back home very tired after a great day playing with the other dogs.”
“Savannah was quick to communicate and accommodated our schedule. Norman settled in right away and even snuggled with her dog! Savannah is very patient and great with animals. We hope to be back in the future.”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“If I could give a 10 star rating I would. Hatcher was very well taken care of. So much so that upon leaving it was obvious he was missing his new found friends. I can't say enough about how wonderful and stress free the experience was for both myself and my puppy. Great experience all around. Thank you so much.”

“Alysha was the absolute best!!! We were SUPER nervous to board our dog, Benny, for the first time as he can get pretty anxious when we’re gone. Her & her husband made Benny feel right at home right away. He had a blast with them & their dog Ollie!!! He loved them! Alysha made sure to send lots of pics & videos of Benny which I’m so grateful for! She even got Benny a pup cup which he LOVES. She did a wonderful job overall and was very accommodating! We will 100% be using Alysha for Benny’s boarding in the future and would recommend highly to others. :) Thanks Alysha for taking such great care of our baby. ❤️ I’m grateful to have found such a great sitter nearby!”
“Nicole was great! She was communicative, reliable, and our pup was clearly well taken care of. She sent updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. Would definitely book again!”

“Chrissy was AMAZING with my Lab and Rottweiler. I recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies watched. She was very communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would🤩”
“I highly recommend Ali’s services. I was looking for a sitter who not only loves my cats as her own but understands subtle changes in their health during my vacation. One of my cats is over 12 years old so I needed a sitter with veterinary skills and knowledges. I am glad that I have chosen Ali for my cats and will ask her again for next vacations. Her services are beyond my expectations.”

About: I've been taking care of my mom's dog when she is out of town for over 10 years. My brother recently got a puppy and I have added her to my list! Dogs are near and dear to my heart and are treated just like a child on our home! I am a stay at home mom to our 2 year old. We are generally not gone for more than a couple of hours, if at all. We live in a nice quiet town and go for walks often. We have a very shaded front yard that we are in a lot. We take walks often and live in a nice town. Our yard is not fenced in.
“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”
“We had a great experience with Chrissy! She was very communicative from the beginning through the end of my dog’s visit. I felt comfortable leaving her and received lots of pictures and videos during her stay.”
“Trish was fabulous. Along with sending lots of pics of our pup through out the day, she was so easy to talk to and kind. Wini had lots of fun and we could tell Trish really cared about each of the dogs in her care. We highly recommend her!!”
“The service Ali provided is exceptional. Banksy gets exposure to other dogs, exercise, and training while staying with Ali. Working in the medical field is not always conducive to getting Banksy the mental and physical exercise he needs- Ali provides these and has always been able to work around my unpredictable schedule. I consider myself a routine customer ?”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.

“Savannah was great! She took great care of our Aussie during our move into our new apartment. She was very lenient with the pick up time and kept us updated with photos! I would recommend Savannah to anyone!! 🐾”
About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet. We have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I am in school full time during the weekdays, but Fridays when I’m off of clinicals, I am more than happy to start a house sit or drop in!! On the weekends all of my services are available! I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!
“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”
About: Been doing this for 7 years now and absolutely love it. I take in all sizes and breeds of dogs and have recently fenced in my backyard. Your pets will get the best 1 on 1 care at my house. I work full time during the week. The dogs will have free run of my upstairs or if you prefer they be in a kennel I can accommodate that too I recently fenced in my backyard. Huge play area for the dogs to run and play . I will provide the best 1 on 1 care for them
About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!
