“E is amazing in every way!! It was already awesome that she took the booking so last minute. She’s great with communicating and being on time with the pick up and drop offs. Diamond came back home as if she never left, her energy and spirits were great! I’m not sure I was even missed lol. Will definitely book with her and her family again!”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“Bola was so kind to my dog Coco. I was worried she might be too much puppy to handle since she’s a big dog and gets easily excited but Bola was confident there would be no issue. Coco had a great day playing with the other doggies and came home nice and tired after her stay. Thanks Bola!”
“"Brandon is an excellent and reliable dog sitter. He provided exceptional care for my dog, Cookie, ensuring she was happy and well-tended to. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking for dependable pet care!"”
“Ania was great! Very professional, kind and reliable sitter. Simba had a wonderful stay with Ania! Lots of photo/video updates, I can see my dog was truly well taken care of! Will definitely book with her again in a future 💕”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”
“My Zoey had a great time with Cheyanne! Cheyanne was communicative and sent lots of pictures during Zoey's stay. She was incredibly patient with my flight delays that prevented me from picking up Zoey on time - very grateful for a kind and accommodating sitter!”
“Ashley was great! Super fast response to messages. She sent us updates and Waski pictures often. Waski had a great time playing at parks, walking, and lounging on the deck.”
“I love the attentiveness to all the fur babies and keeping them on a schedule - Katie and Teddy were playing with the others fur babies which is wonderful. These guys are my go-to boarders from this day forward 😊”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“Tamara always goes above and beyond for Milo. She’s been so reliable and communicative and it’s so appreciated having someone that I can rely on for Milo!”
“My high energy pup has been in a deep slumber ever since we got home, which tells me she had a blast. And Katrina made me a magnet with the cutest picture of Luna, I love it so much. Thank you!! Truly the best. 😁”
“Ksenia took such wonderful care of my dog - it was clear she truly understood his needs and personality. She’s incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive, which made a huge difference. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and genuinely caring - I would absolutely trust her again without hesitation.”
“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences. She sent me regular updates and photos of my pup, which put me at ease while I was away! I highly recommend Kyla for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Krypto enjoyed a lot at Jessica's place. She was very kind enough to send so many pics of krypto and she took good care of him. Will recommend her for everyone.”
“Andrea was once again super kind and considerate - the fact that my pet feels comfortable to rush into the apartment building as well as cozy on up to Andrea is a testament to how much trust and care there is delivered! They even offered to drop off my dog to my apartment after I flew in from a trip to help offload some traveling time. Would definitely rebook again!”
“Jenna was absolutely amazing! I felt so reassured with the pictures and videos and updates that our dog was safe, cared for, and having the nicest time! Jenna went above and beyond when our flight home was delayed and was so generous in accommodating us. Thank you Jenna! 😊”

“Q did a wonderful job as always! She took great care of my cat, keeping him comfortable and entertained while I was away, and went above and beyond making sure he was clean and happy. Lots of great photos too, including a few I think we'll frame! I will absolutely book again.”
“Amiyah is kind and caring.Glitzy had lots of fun and looked forward to her visits with Amiyah. We felt she was very well cared for and that makes vacationing easier..”
“Evan did a wonderful job watching our cat for a long weekend. He was communicative and responsive, which made us feel comfortable and confident that our cat was in great hands.”
“Tamara was a life saver! My sitter had to suddenly cancel and Tamara was able to fit drop ins for my cats for Christmas week with short notice. She was very responsive to any requests and I came home to 2 happy cats.”
“Chelsea did an amazing job caring for my kitties over the holidays! First, I ended up booking shorter notice and Chelsea responded immediately, was flexible, and was able to accommodate me and my babies. Chelsea was a great communicator when she was caring for my kitties, she gave consistent updates about how they were doing, as well as the tasks she completed when caring for them (refilling food and water, cleaning the litter box). I really appreciated the time and effort Chelsea put into caring for my babies, especially during the holiday time. Thank you!”
“Sally did drop in visits over Christmas to feed and take care of my cat. She kept me updated on everything and sent me photos with each visit that helped me feel like he was getting great care! I sincerely appreciated her providing care for him while I was gone.”
“Jasmine took great care of our kitties (2yo and 15yo). She provided daily updates and great pictures. Our older cat has a variety of health issues and Jasmine was able to give her medications and gave updates about her eating. Jasmine is fantastic!”
“Daphne was amazing with our fur babies and gave them all the love while we were gone. She was as punctual, professional and caring. She was as excellent with communication and follow up. We will use her service again knowing the dogs are taken care of.”
“Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.”
“Elizabeth watched our cat Chachi and she did an amazing job! He’s typically very shy but Elizabeth was so gentle and patient that he immediately warmed up to her. Having Elizabeth watch him gave us a really big sense of relief and made us feel safe leaving him knowing he was in such good hands. I can tell she really cared for him and enjoyed his company. I hope to always use Elizabeth when we’re out of town.”
“Nadine was great! She was patient with my sassy cat and very communicative with me while I was on vacation. Would definitely use Nadine in the future.”
“Grace was amazing with our kitties! And she was very communicative, which was a great piece of mind while we were out of town. We’d absolutely recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”

“My dog loves Tamara! I’ve been using her for over a year and only trust her to watch my dog who has bad anxiety and is skiddish with most people. When I drop her off, she doesn’t even know I’m there anymore. That makes me happy since my baby has anxiety bad. Definitely recommend her. She’s very caring and accommodating!”
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.
“Bola boarded my pup overnight and she was great. She's knowledgeable, loving and caring in her interaction with me and my fur buddy. We look forward to using her services again in the near future.”
“Ashley takes great care of our puppy. Her kids give ample play time to entertain our puppy, and Ashley walks and feeds her well. She also is quick to respond to queries. Our puppy gets excited whenever coming to Ashley’s place.”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”
“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!
About: Hi! It's been a pleasure watching so many amazing furry friends over the years here on Rover. I recently got a little buddy myself, so I am focusing on caring for her. If you're a repeat client (I have watched your pet before) feel free to send me a message and I'll see what I can do! Thanks :) currently working week day evenings and some Sundays, but my schedule varies a lot. Feel free to check with me and I’ll let you know what it looks like! My home is completely dog-safe. They won't be able to get into any trouble whether or not I'm around. I think body language is extremely important and I have a knack for figuring out what a dog may be wanting.
“Katrina was amazing with our Charlie! He's a high need dog with separation anxiety, medication and is a senior. She made the who experience comfortable for us and him. He came back to us calm and happy. I really appreciated how communicative Katrina was. She really goes above and beyond. Highly reccomend!!”
“Talla was such a sweetheart. She took great care of Wilbur and made sure to update me regarding his activities and medications. She was available last minute and was very responsive and communicative!”
“Jiayi was amazing! Her communication and care exceeded my expectations and she was willing to accept my little one for day care last minute! My pup loved her and she was so good with his potty/feed schedule as well. Definitely booking with her again in the future.”
About: Looking for a dog sitter with a passion for pups and years of experience? I’ve not only been a dog mom for 14 years, but recently assisting in training the now 6 month old puppy that’s in my parent’s care. I’m the #1 dog sitter amongst my network, not only because I work from home and have availability, but because I also include their fur babies in my dog’s activities as well i.e. dog park dates, dog birthday parties, and doggie brunch! I’m a full- time remote employee with a very relaxed work schedule. Your pet will be spending the majority of their time in my care. I have a fenced front yard and a patio along with one 22lbs dog that will keep your pet company. I also have a lot of space to allow the dog to move around as they would like.
“Morgan was great! We needed someone to take care of our boy while we were at the White Sox game, and Morgan got back to us within minutes to let us know she was available. When we dropped him off she was immediately very engaging with Romeo and we could tell that she loves dogs and knows how to be around them. She did a great job watching him and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including active and strong working breeds. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need.

Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: Hi! I’m Quirtina, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Biggie, my sweet 5-year-old Cockapoo. I grew up with two dogs, and Biggie is my second personal dog, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. I also regularly dog sit for friends, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m active and love long walks around Hyde Park, so I’m happy to help with exercise, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. I’ll pay close attention to your instructions and your dog’s personality, and I’m always glad to send updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m a full time MBA student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am home most of the time during the day and evening. I live in a secured gated home, with a gated area for quick bathroom breaks outside of regular walks. Your pup will be in safe hands!

About: I've had pets since I was 9. From 9 till now I've had cats, dogs, fishes, and guinea pigs. I have experience with dealing with pets that may have previously trauma issues also with pets that may need careful care like medince or special needs. Even pets that don't need extra care just pets that wants to have long walks or need a lot of play time . I am currently in school. So I will be working part time for Rover. Evening and nights works best for the weekdays and for the weekends I am open for anytime you need. For cats do have multiple cat bags if they need to brought to a appointment or any where else. And foot dogs if you don't have a leach I can get one but I would prefer for you to have leeches and rates of pets need to be taken out of the house .
“Consistent, punctual, communicative, and generous. She shows up everyday in a timely manner, cares for my dog, and even gives complementary baths and cleaning if she makes a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤗 she offers a good range of services as well!!”
About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.

“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my pooch! My pup took to her right away. She was very communicative and flexible with accommodating my last minute requests. And with each walk I received pics and my pup couldn’t have looked happier! 😊”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My many years of pet ownership has trained me for this opportunity. My Chewy is both happy and healthy. I’m recently retired. My daily schedule is built around the needs of my boy, Chewy. He’s walked at minimum three (3) times a day; my friends and family know the routine. I have a secure deck to allow fresh air and free movement with guaranteed security. I have a crate if needed, but think all dogs should have free movement daily.
“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
About: Hi there! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for most of my life, and I started pet sitting when I was 16. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, board, play with, and care for their pets, including administering medication when needed. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, from active animals who love long walks or playing to those who need a calmer, more structured approach. AVAILABILITY I keep my calendar up to date and value clear, reliable communication. I’m available for drop-ins on evenings, weekends, and holidays. For housesitting, my standard schedule is arriving in the morning, staying all day, and returning home at night. On workdays, this includes working remotely from your home during the day. OVERNIGHT CARE If overnight care is required, an additional overnight fee applies. I have a cat at home, use transit, and work full time, so overnight stays require additional planning around travel time, my work schedule, and making sure my own pet continues to receive consistent care. My base overnight fee is $25 per night for locations within one mile, and the fee may increase based on commute distance, care requirements, and the number of animals. SERVICE AREA My service area is within a 3-mile radius from the edge of Capitol Hill/SLU. I charge an additional commute fee starting at $25 per day for clients outside of that range. *Note on Additional Fees: If a booking is both out of my service area and requires overnight care, only one additional fee will be charged; the price will be determined based on the circumstances of the request. NEW CLIENTS For new clients, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet promptly so we can confirm fit and go over routines, expectations, and logistics. If an in-person meet-and-greet needs to happen closer to the booking start date, I’m happy to do a phone call or video chat to confirm booking prior to the meet-and-greet. If meeting in-person is not feasible due to scheduling constraints, a video chat can take the place of the meet-and-greet. In some cases, booking may be required prior to meeting in-person. SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow care instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s temperament and boundaries, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, attention, and a secure environment while you’re away. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and prioritize safety at all times.
“Lisa "Rane" was fantastic with Bobby. She is prompt and personable. My dog received her well upon their first meeting. She and I developed a good rapport which led me to feel comfortable trusting her with Bobby. I will make her my first request when needing your service in the future.”
“Excellent dog walker. She is dependable, trustworthy, and amazing with my dog. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care during my vacation. She responds is a great timely manner”
“One of the best I’ve experienced on this app so far. Bola was very effective, communicative and a joy to work with! Django loves her so much! I highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Masheika is wonderful! She’s communicative and pays attention to detail. She’s very good with our anxious, scared dog, and Masheika has proven to be very patient and willing to work with her.”

“E is amazing in every way!! It was already awesome that she took the booking so last minute. She’s great with communicating and being on time with the pick up and drop offs. Diamond came back home as if she never left, her energy and spirits were great! I’m not sure I was even missed lol. Will definitely book with her and her family again!”
“Bola was so kind to my dog Coco. I was worried she might be too much puppy to handle since she’s a big dog and gets easily excited but Bola was confident there would be no issue. Coco had a great day playing with the other doggies and came home nice and tired after her stay. Thanks Bola!”
“"Brandon is an excellent and reliable dog sitter. He provided exceptional care for my dog, Cookie, ensuring she was happy and well-tended to. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking for dependable pet care!"”
“Ania was great! Very professional, kind and reliable sitter. Simba had a wonderful stay with Ania! Lots of photo/video updates, I can see my dog was truly well taken care of! Will definitely book with her again in a future 💕”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Ashley was great! Super fast response to messages. She sent us updates and Waski pictures often. Waski had a great time playing at parks, walking, and lounging on the deck.”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“Tamara always goes above and beyond for Milo. She’s been so reliable and communicative and it’s so appreciated having someone that I can rely on for Milo!”
“Jenna was absolutely amazing! I felt so reassured with the pictures and videos and updates that our dog was safe, cared for, and having the nicest time! Jenna went above and beyond when our flight home was delayed and was so generous in accommodating us. Thank you Jenna! 😊”
“Tonisa was great, she was always responsive and kept us up to date with pics throughout our trip. Deuce seemed to have a great time at her house. Thank you Tonisa!”
“Manuel was so good to my baby Luna!!! He agreed to a last minute booking for me during a week long vacation. He sent daily photos and updates and was very responsive to messages throughout her stay. We will DEFINITELY book with him again!”
“Nathan is fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, great with all dogs, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. We felt completely at ease, and will absolutely be booking with him again.”
“Katie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend booking her. I appreciate how flexible she is about logistics. First, I accidentally sent Katie to the wrong address to pick up my dog. She was patient and understanding about the mistake. Then, last minute I had to extend the booking one additional day due to travel delays, which Katie accepted without issue. Katie also communicates well. She responds quickly, and sends regular updates about your pet. We will definitely book Katie again!”
“Steven is an incredibly passionate and responsible dog sitter. He really makes an effort to get to know your pets. I had a great experience leaving my two pups with him!”
“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Dominique was AB-SO-LUTE-LY Fabulous!!! She treated my babies like her very own (even calling them by their "cutesy" baby names when she scratched them under their cheeks and behind the ears). She created a safe, loving and clean space for them... allowing them to thrive. Truth be told, I'm kind of jealous that they "took to her" so quickly and didn't miss me more (our first time separated in 11 years). Knowing Dominique was taking such great care of them, made the stressful time I was going through easier to manage. My babies came back, calm,well feldand clean!!! 👍 I will definitely seek out Ms. Dominique again for any and all future pet needs.”
“Fred took the best care of our 2 dogs. This was an 8 night job in his home! We have a rambunctious sweet younger pitbull (with no manners) and a very senior chihuahua. His place was perfect because it has no stairs for the senior doggie and Fred was willing to take the challenges if the big dog. Fred was attentive, answered calls and texts quickly, and sent us tons of pictures. He put our minds at ease on a daily basis, we have never left the dogs for so long or outside their own home. I highly recommend Fred.”
“I am impressed by how seriously Tamya is taking this job. She gave me a long list of information about Ivy to complete, so that she can get to know her well before the job starts. Tamya also posts photos of Ivy often, so I can see that she is doing well. I highly recommend her.”
