“Jackie is the best sitter I have had since using Rover. I am at total ease leaving Frito with her. She sends lots of pictures and he loves being there. He snuggles up with Jackie and her family members. I see that he feels safe which is quite an accomplishment given his anxious nature. Jackie is professional and has followed my detailed instructions for Frito everytime. I am so grateful I found her on Rover.com. I don't want to leave Frito with anyone else. I highly recommend Jackie - you will not be dissapointed.”
“Danielle loves animals and you can tell! She was wonderful to work with and kept us up to date on our Daisy with great photos and stories. Go with Danielle—she’s a sweetheart!”
“Jackie and her family took amazing care of our 3 babies during their week-long stay. ❤️ We had lost our previous sitter on Rover and were nervous about leaving them somewhere new, but we needn’t have worried! Jackie sent daily updates & pictures, and it was clear the pups were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🥰”
“Kimberly was WONDERFUL! She was so sweet to our dogs, sent us communication throughout the stay and was just a very kind person. Max and Muffin had a wonderful time and we will definitely be using her services again. Just a note, our dog Muffin is 17, blind and going deaf and she took wonderful care of her. Her family also loved on our dogs which was so comforting to know as well. Thank you so much!!!”
“We used Eric for 2 weeks of boarding when we were out of the country. We received daily communication and answers to our questions. He was wonderful with both dogs -- especially the new puppy. Highly recommend!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!”
“Sarah and her family took amazing care of our dog Wrigley! She communicated daily with both written updates and pictures. Wrigley had her own vacation while we were away and we could tell she was at ease during her stay. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our girl. I definitely recommend Sarah for your dog sitting needs!”
“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“I recently used Ashley to watch my fur baby Lexi while I was out of town and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lexi had a fantastic time with Ashley and her family. She received so much love and attention as well as play time that she was clearly missing them for the next few days after we picked her up. Ashley was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive to my dog's needs. I received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Lexi!”
“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Justine & Brett were so wonderful and patient with Ramen! He is anxious and can take time to warm up, but they went above and beyond to make him comfortable!”
“Keith was great with our French bulldog. Very responsive, clean home, and super easy to work with while we went away for a week long vacation. Will definitely use again!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Jackie was our savior for a last minute booking. She took in our puppy Luna for a few days. I can tell Luna was well cared for and had fun. Jackie was very communicative and answered my text in a timely fashion. We will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Jackie and your family for making Luna feel right at home. 💖🐾”
“I am so happy that I found Jill. She couldn’t have been more attentive and caring, and she went “that extra mile.” Scottie was so happy when I picked him up.” It was like he never left home. Much better than leaving him in a kennel for 12 days. She truly loves dogs.”
“Fanny is an excellent person and dog sitter, very dedicated. She sent us a daily photo and message with updates about Max. They went on many walks and our cocker spaniel was so happy to be with her. I 100% recommend her, great area and very affordable! Thank you so much Fanny!”

“Sarah did a fabulous job taking care of our two cats. She was timely in her visits and gave updates on how they were doing. The cats were lucky to have such a wonderful caregiver.”
“This was our first time scheduling with Erika and we were thrilled with her service and communications. We have two cats with special needs and she catered to all. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Caroline was great about checking in and watching my cat. I heard from her each visit and all instructions were followed. She was even nice enough to carry in my Amazon package for me.”
“Amy is fantastic! Very friendly and really bonded with our two crazy cats. Lots of pictures which we appreciate being away. Felt very confident my kitties and plants were in good hands.”
“Cynthia is the best cat/home sitter we've ever had. She sent great photo updates and provided great care for our kitties while we were away. She also helped bring in the mail, cleaned up any littler pellets that spilled outside the cat boxes and left us a little welcome home treat. We will hire Cynthia again without question. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you grace for taking good care of our cats. We appreciate your reliability and making sure our care instructions were followed. They were safe and happy when we got home.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, and she immediately helped us feel confident that we could count on her. We were able to relax and not worry about our kitty while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Lizzie saved the day by being available to watch my cats so last minute. Followed my rambling directions and asked questions about where my cat’s favorite hiding spots were! Just overall so kind and patient and will book again.”
“Doreen once again came to our rescue and took great care of our cat while we went on a 2 week vacation out of the country to celebrate Christmas and ring in the New Year. She sends consistent feedback with pics. Our cat is usually very shy but with Doreen, she has always been very comfortable from the very first moment. Doreen also helped us with our mail and packages while we were away. Thank you Doreen for your help as always. Because of your care, we can go on our vacation worry free and stress free!”
“Elena was awesome! My kitties warmed up to her right away, even my skittish girl let Elena pet her in record time! She was communicative and so helpful when I was gone. She made me feel safe leaving my babies in her care. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”
“This was our first time using Rover and selected Don based on prior reviews. Don has gone above and beyond, exceeding our expectation with his check-in's on our Maltipoo. Our little guy can be sheepish and nervous with strangers, but Don worked to earn trust with our pup and made him feel safe. We would highly recommend Don!”
About: I have had the pleasure of having cats my entire life. There is nothing like the bond between a human and their cat! I am willing to put in the work for those cats who are not easily won over. I have experience in all age cats from kittens to 19 years old. Although I have a soft spot for those geriatric kitties.
About: Working in an animal shelter I've had experience with multiple different types of cats, seen many different behaviors and have worked with cats to increase comfortability in high stress environments like the shelter! I also have a kitty of my own, Cinnabar, who we adopted and he has a condition called chronic rhinitis. Since adopting him, we've maneuvered through lots of illnesses he's had such as URI's when he was a young kitten, his chronic rhinitis and managing his inflammation and making him comfortable so I know a lot about administering medicine and making cats feel safe and comfortable!
About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.
“Mads has been absolutely amazing with my dogs. She is so kind and friendly with them. She plays with them outside and even works on some obedience training! They love her and they get so excited when she walks in the door. I will definitely be booking Mads again when I need a drop-in!”
“Kassandra continually goes above and beyond every single time we go out of town, up to 3 weeks at a time. Our fur babies absolutely adore her as can be seen in the multiple photos she sends each visit. So thankful to have found her, we are repeat customers and will continue to use her for all of our pet needs as long as she’ll have us. ❤️❤️❤️”

“We had a meet with Danielle before we left our mini poodle a few days later with her. When we went back the second time, as we approached her house, he got super excited and couldn’t wait to go in. Danielle was really kind and gentle with him. When he was anxious as we left, she held him until he calmed down. He enjoyed playing with her very active puppy and was pretty tuckered when we got back. We’re looking forward to leaving him with her again.”
“Happy to found you! Thanks for taking care of our lil princess! She had fun i can tell. Thanks for taking time to take pictures/videos of her too. Truly grateful! Til next!”
About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊
“This was my first time taking my little Mollie to Stepfanie. It was a very positive day. Mollie was loved on and I don’t think she e wanted to leave. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.”

About: Your dog isn’t just a guest - they’re part of the family. I work from home full time which means your pup will rarely be left alone. They’ll have constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I have a secured fenced yard for safe outdoor play and a dog-friendly pool that’s available for supervised swim time (if your pup enjoys water). I'm a dedicated dog lover who works from home, which means your furry friend will never be left alone.

About: Hello! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have been caring for animals my whole life, including my own pets and also dogs I foster for a local rescue. I would love to care for your furry family member as well. As a Type-A personality and a mother of 3 humans and 3 dogs, I am very organized, reliable, detail-oriented, caring, and trustworthy. I work from home part-time in the photography industry and would love to help you add to the adorable photos of your pet while they are in my care, if you would like! I have a Masters Degree in Higher Education and a Bachelors in Entrepreneurship, both at Illinois State University. I did my business plan on a doggy day care and when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet, so as you can see...caring for animals has been in my blood from a young age! Several of my animals have had special needs or are prone to injury, so I have LOTS of experience in that regard. My vet can vouch for the fact that I would make a great vet tech. Blood and other bodily fluids do not phase me and I am cool as a cucumber under pressure (I've dealt with two dogs with broken legs, two dog strokes, cancer, many a laceration, a diabetic cat, and a dog with no eyes.) I also have fostered several puppies and love their puppy breath! Happy to help care for the youngest of your pets as well. I work from home part-time during typical business hours and cart my kids to and from their activities. My spare time is spent caring for your furry friends! Whether I am coming into your home or your pets are coming into mine, your pets and property will be treated with the utmost care and consideration. I will provide the excellent service I expect for pet sitters for my own family dogs and nothing less. Safety and security are also top of mind and, with my high attention to detail, nothing will be missed. Pets in my home will be treated like family. We have 2 retired racing greyhounds who are loving, calm, and kind, as well as a foster-fail super mutt who loves to play and keep our house safe from chipmunks and mail carriers. I have three kids (12, 10, and 7) who all have extensive experience with dogs and who will help me respectfully love on your pet while you are away. We have a LARGE fenced in yard with lots of little critters to sniff after and plenty of room to run. We live in a pet-friendly cul-du-sac with several dogs and chickens next door.
“Mary was absolutely excellent! We have a 9 week old PWD mix breed named Chase and we were nervous to leave our pup baby with a puppy sitter. However, Mary sent pictures, never put him in a crate, took him out often for potty and snuggled him! She's wonderful and Chase will be visiting her weekly while I'm at work. Thank you Mary!!”
About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“Thank you soooo much for the last minute daycare! You have a beautiful land! My dog is so happy and tired out yay! You guys are awesome will deff be booking again! Highly recommended!!”

“With our schedules constantly changing, we needed someone to check-in and walk our dog during the work week. We have a strong 60 lbs. German Shorthaired Pointer with lots of energy and Jenny has been extremely helpful, flexible, and caring toward our pet. She is very responsive, sends updates and pictures from visit. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Jenny’s dog services!”
“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
“Jackie took the best care of our dog while we were gone for 4 days. She kept us updated and sent lots of great pictures, plus spent so much time playing with our dog since it was too cold to be outside. She is awesome!”
“I value Grace's help very much she has been helping me walk and feed my two chihuahuas for almost two weeks while I'm at work. She is very patient and listen to all my concerns since my pets are on the older side and can be a bit difficult with new people.”
“Goka has been an amazing caretaker for our dog Pochacco. She is very attentive, kind, and communicative when walking our dog and keeping us updated on how he’s doing :) highly recommend.”
About: Hello! 😁 🐾 I solely believe that dogs should be treated just like any other family member! There is a reason “DOG” spelled backwards is “GOD!” I have been an animal lover all my life for as long as I can remember, always taking inspiration from the Irwin Family! It would be a great honor to walk your dog as I am a lover of all dogs! I treat all dogs the same with equal amounts of respect and care.

I understand not every pet likes to be social, so I will take that in to consideration. I will keep in mind of your pet's lifestyle and how active they are to determine how much exercise best fits their needs. I am blessed to have a lot of experience with pets, as I have worked in the Veterinary Field, grew up in a house full of pets, and have a dog of my very own. I have worked with many different types of dogs of different sizes and personalities and have learned many various techniques and skill-sets along the way. I am always looking to expand my knowledge from what I’ve already learned and grow in each experience! I'm able to use harnesses, leashes and collars of different kinds: retractable, chain, fabric... Ultimately, I put the pet first and will make sure they are in very great hands!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have a genuine passion for them. I have experience in dogs of all sizes from Yorkie mixes to English mastiffs. Most of my experience is with older dogs but willing to work with puppies. I love taking the time to get to know each dog and their personalities. I am a teacher on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible this time of year! Most of my availability is during the day for walking but can be available at night if needed. I am comfortable putting dogs in and out of crates and administering medication if needed. Not afraid to clean up messes when needed. Comfortable walking dogs. I have my own car so I can drive if needed at any time.
“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have grown up with small dogs and large dogs. Between Shih Tzus, Aussies, labs, huskies and more, I have been around them all. I currently have four Aussies in our family home that I care for everyday. They are very energetic dogs so I am always playing with them outside or taking them on walks. As well, I have volunteered at many animal shelters and currently volunteer at my college animals shelter. It has given me lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, needs, energy levels, and comfort levels. As well as time spent socializing with the cats! As a college student who mostly babysits, I am very flexible with my weeks. I have a lot of random availability and free time during the day. As well, if I do work, it is usually during the day so I can stay with your animals over night. I am open to any options of care. With fenced in homes, I am always going to let your fur baby run around and play with them. Though, I love to walk and I know they do too. Walks will always happen even if play happens first!
About: I have been pet sitting for several years ever since I was around the age of 13. Additionally, I work at Anderson Humane in South Elgin as a kennel tech and have been working there since August! I have worked with many different animals as a Kennel Tech, I also have experience with administering medicine and I am Fear Free certified. My animal experience is very important to me as I plan on majoring in animal science on the pre-vet track this upcoming fall when I head off to college! :) I work part time but I have plenty of time to care for your pets otherwise. My availability is open most of the time so just let me know when I’m needed and I should be able to accommodate! I look forward to meeting your pets! I am experienced in ensuring your animal stays comfortable and happy even if they may get nervous meeting someone new for example... I have lots of experience working with shy and reactive dogs and am comfortable with all temperaments because I can handle them well! I know how important your pets are so I am well prepared for anything!
About: My energy to match each animal is above many other sitters. I love to stay active and go on adventures. Snuggle time and training time is equally important. If your pet loves attention, then we will be a great match. I worked in a Shelter/Daycare and loved every minute of it. I am currently taking care of 2 elderly clients in their home part-time and would love to fill my time with your precious family pet. I would be unable to take your pet in my home at this time. My preference would be in your home which is more comfortable for your pet. OVER 30 MILES TRAVEL +$10 EACH WAY.
“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”
About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.
About: Experienced in pet sitting and dog walking, including maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets get proper exercise and attention. I prioritize safety, communication, and dependable service. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I nanny as needed, which allows me to plan my days around walks, visits, and quality time with pets. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I make sure their space is kept clean and secure, and I always provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Jackie and her family took amazing care of our 3 babies during their week-long stay. ❤️ We had lost our previous sitter on Rover and were nervous about leaving them somewhere new, but we needn’t have worried! Jackie sent daily updates & pictures, and it was clear the pups were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🥰”
“Kimberly was WONDERFUL! She was so sweet to our dogs, sent us communication throughout the stay and was just a very kind person. Max and Muffin had a wonderful time and we will definitely be using her services again. Just a note, our dog Muffin is 17, blind and going deaf and she took wonderful care of her. Her family also loved on our dogs which was so comforting to know as well. Thank you so much!!!”

“Sarah and her family took amazing care of our dog Wrigley! She communicated daily with both written updates and pictures. Wrigley had her own vacation while we were away and we could tell she was at ease during her stay. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our girl. I definitely recommend Sarah for your dog sitting needs!”
“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“I recently used Ashley to watch my fur baby Lexi while I was out of town and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Lexi had a fantastic time with Ashley and her family. She received so much love and attention as well as play time that she was clearly missing them for the next few days after we picked her up. Ashley was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive to my dog's needs. I received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Lexi!”
“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Justine & Brett were so wonderful and patient with Ramen! He is anxious and can take time to warm up, but they went above and beyond to make him comfortable!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
“I am so happy that I found Jill. She couldn’t have been more attentive and caring, and she went “that extra mile.” Scottie was so happy when I picked him up.” It was like he never left home. Much better than leaving him in a kennel for 12 days. She truly loves dogs.”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
