“When Noodles is with Doug and Deb, we rest easy on our trips knowing he is well cared for and entertained. We’ve experienced short stays and a longer stay recently for one week. I love to see how responsive he is with them, telling me he enjoys spending time in their home. The pictures we receive from Doug & Deb show Noodles around their home, happy and content. Doug & Deb are truly amazing and a stay with them feels like being at home!”

“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”

“Susan was amazing with our boy Lincoln! He was obviously loved and taken care of while we were away and we got daily updates showing him playing with friends! We felt so comfortable with Susan and Isla and we hope to bring him back to play soon!”

“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”

“He provided wonderful care and lots of exercise for my pup Galway. She came home wiped out and had a great time! Thank you for your great care!!”

“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Julia was absolutely amazing! She took my girl Luna on a last minute notice, and treated my dog like her own. She sent me several updates and made sure my dog was having a great stay. She also gifted Luna with a ball which was really nice. So thankful to have found a great sitter. Thank you julia!”

“Ian took SUCH good care of my 1.5 year old bernedoodle for 3 weeks when I was traveling for work. I had so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting lots of care, play time and super long, scenic walks every day! Ian was super communicative and sent pictures of Banksy multiple times a day, which I very much appreciated. He told me about the couple of other dogs that he watched as well and how Banksy got along with each. Ian really is thoughtful about how the dogs interact together and makes sure they have safe, supervised play and will give them space, if needed. I know Banks absolutely LOVED being there and was sad to leave! I will 100% be reaching out to Ian the next time I go out of town.”

“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“Sophia and Andy were incredible. From the first time we met them, we knew our dog would be in great hands. They easily handled our dog’s personality quirks (both cute and obnoxious) and sent all the photos we needed to know that he felt at home while he stayed with them. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“She’s a great person with a lot of pictures she kept me updated and give my baby much love I really appreciate you Great person for sure every time i come to Chicago i will oreo with her”
“Makda and her family are wonderful!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my puppy with someone over night. I was beyond nervous and Makda immediately made me comfortable and was extremely responsive the entire weekend. Archie had a blast and we have already scheduled another stay with Makda!”

“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”


“Our dog stayed for a week with Jennifer and it was great. She was prompt in communicating, sent frequent updates, and our little guy had a fine time with her and Tiny. We will use Jennifer again the next time we travel.”

About: I was the cat girl growing up. All my birthdays were cat themed, all I cared about was cats, even my first username ever was kitties81192. When my dad (finally!) got cats when I was in high school it was a big deal. Since then, I have owned, rescued, as well as fostered my own kittens. I have 6 years of experience working in the pet industry as a pet sitter and have learned many things about cat behavior and care. Many of my past long term clients were cats. I even tried training one of them to do tricks, with some success! I have administered oral medication as well as injections, and cared for special needs or old cats that can't groom, eat, or get around as well anymore. I've looked after all types of personalities, from ferals to lapcats. The more mundane tasks of cat care like scooping litter or changing water filters, etc. are all a part of the whole package and I am happy to help out with any tasks needed to make sure they're comfortable and healthy. I believe in leaving the place just as good or better than when I found it, and take special care to be careful with entering and leaving just in case they're feeling a little adventurous. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions!
“Amanda is awesome! She was punctual, communicative and sent the best photos! It was our first time away from our kittens and it was so reassuring to see them happy and well cared for. I'll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive catsitter!”


“This is my second time having Karli check in on my cats and she did a great job, again! She was flexible, communicative, and was even able (& kind enough) to accommodate my last minute request for an extra check in visit when our flight was going to arrive really late. Thanks, Karli!”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha. I moved to Chicago in late 2018 and spent my first year here walking dogs for three different companies, while also building up a group of regular clients through Rover. In early 2019, I started walking a sweet, three-legged Black Lab named Bo and eventually began boarding him several weeks each month while his dad traveled for work. Sadly, we lost Bo in April 2021, and his passing left a big hole in my heart. Not long after, I began fostering a three-legged pittie named Abby and ended up adopting her in July 2021. When I first adopted her, my only request at the shelter was that she get along with other dogs. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case as she had a very traumatic history, so I no longer offer boarding. However, I’m still happily available for walks, drop-ins, and occasional in house stays! I can work with all different ages, handle senior care, and have helped with puppy training. I work in higher ed but have a very flexible schedule. My boss is aware that I pet sit on the side and allows me to work remotely when needed. Every family I have worked with has been different depending on their needs. I am experienced in crate training, free roaming, or setting up boundaries to help keep animals safe. I also am familiar with all different collar/leash/harness types and feel comfortable navigating with and around dog reactive animals.

“This was the first time Faith watched my kitty. She is super responsive and kept me up to date with everything. She goes above and beyond to ensure Nora’s needs are met and I have piece of mind.”


“We were nervous about our first Rover booking and having someone new care for our sweet girl, but couldn’t be happier. Parisa is thoughtful, communicative and we arrived home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. We’re so thankful to have found her!”


“Patrick is very reliable responsible and kind. He communicates I felt so comfortable with him as well as my babies. They loved him. Will definitely rebook when needed. Highly recommend Patrick!”


About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I rescued my adult cat from the street and learned firsthand how important patience, trust, and a calm environment are in helping animals feel safe and secure. I also care for an energetic kitten, which has given me experience with both playful younger cats and more independent adult cats. I strongly understand the importance of routine for cats, including consistent feeding schedules and daily care that helps them feel stable and comfortable. I also recognize that when cats are sick or stressed, they often need extra patience, time, and sometimes special care such as medication, dietary adjustments, or simply a calm presence. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your cats with the same attention, patience, and love that I give my own, making their comfort and well-being my top priority.

“We had Ryan watch our two cats while we went abroad for about 10 days. He gives detailed reviews of his visit, lots of pictures, and our cats liked him a lot. We will be rebooking with Ryan if he is available for future traveling.”


“Afya did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of them takes medication and we were also having issues with bullying and resource guarding so she had to be particular attentive. She worked hard at bonding with them and kept them busy with playing and enrichment. We came home to two very relaxed and happy kitties which has not always been the case with other sitters. Her experience fostering kittens at Paws and Claws that I saw on her Rover profile gave me confidence in her skills as they have a high standard of care for their cats. She’s a cat whisperer! Thanks so much Afya!”


“Chris is really nice and professional. He took care of my two cats while I was overseas. They liked him immediately. Chris was great about giving me specific details about how my boys were doing.”


“If I could give Hannah more than 5 stars- I would. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for her amazing communication, careful attention to detail, and figuring things out on the fly while putting up with my cats when they decided to be naughty. Truly, one of the best experiences I've had with a house/pet sitter. Honestly, if I needed her all the time, I would have her here constantly! haha. Honestly, she left my house in better condition than when she arrived! ?”

“Ellie took fantastic care of my cat Rufus. Her updates were very detailed and she took plenty of great pictures. I have already booked with her twice and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her to any of my friends with pet sitting needs!”


“Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of my cat on super short notice. Super attentive to his social needs and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash. Thank you!!”


“Cookie & Peanut thoroughly enjoyed their time with Angelica. It was so cute to see how the cats progressively looked more comfortable/silly with her throughout their time together.”


“Tiffani was so great with our two cats for drop in feedings. One of my cats is not very nice and they got along just fine and he even let her get a quick pet here and there. They got lots of playtime and pets and I got lots of fun photo and video updates. Thanks Tiffani!!!”

“Kelsey stayed at our home with our two cats while we were on vacation. She took such good care of our boys and our home! She kept us well informed, especially when one of our guys had some tummy troubles. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again! Thank you!”

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

“I almost wanted to gatekeep Nicky because he’s that good! He takes amazing care of my dog, Juno, and I never have to worry when he's with him. He’s reliable, caring, communicative, and it’s obvious he genuinely loves animals. Juno is always happy, relaxed, and excited to see him, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I can’t recommend Nicky enough”

“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”

“Sarah and Walter took great care of my little guy. He felt really comfortable there and made himself at home. He had a good time and became Walter's shadow and his new BFF. Thanks so much guys!”

About: I am home full-time, live in an apartment with 1 adorable dog. Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl. I think they are the most adorable creatures and I love their personalities. I like playing with them, teaching them tricks and just hugging them all the time. Your dog will feel like it's their home when they are with me. Hope to see your dog soon. Have a great day! About this sitter: Love Animals! Why I love dog sitting Dogs have been in our home and a part of my life since I was a child. About my yard Yes, it is a small backyard. Several parks in the area for long walks. I work at home full time, so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. They will be comfortable and happy. I have a fenced yard and 1 dog. Your dog(s) will have play time and get plenty of exercise running around playing games, etc.,
“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”


“Arlene pup-sat our lovely 3 month old puppy, who came home happy and tired. I would recommend her for all ages. She is a warm, caring person and I felt that our pup was in good hands.”

About: I have been a house and pet sitter since High School while working at a vet’s office and all throughout college and many years after. I love a good pet therapy session to keep stress levels down for me and the animal. I have two cats of my own and know how important it is for them to get interacted with throughout the day when we aren’t around, as well as when we have our own overnight commitments to attend. I would be honored to get to spend a little time with your fur baby when needed! I am a fun loving, easy going, and pet (and treat) giving cat mom who loves both cats and dogs! I can’t wait to meet all the incredibly adorable animals possible through this opportunity. I am quite the stimulating pet parent! My cats even knows some commands and tricks. We love some treat giving, toy searching, and you playing in my house! I work for Rover fulltime, so I am always here. I have enough space, and gates to keep 3-5 dogs at a time, if the family is comfortable with other friendly dogs being in the same house with them. I walk all separately unless they are from the same family or the dogs are really good friends. We take about 5-6 walks a day around the neighborhood ranging between 20-30 minutes depending on the weather of the season, and even have a deck with a piece of “grass” where older pets can use the restroom easily or if it is raining, for a quick potty break. We have water in every room of the house, we love to give treats, have crates and gates for alone time if needed, and there is always an opportunity to sunbathe in our house or on our deck.
“Chachi had a wonderful time at day care. He got along very well with everyone even though he was a late arrival to the pack today but he got along just fine and everyone loved him. He shared a bed with a sweet little dog who was missing a leg. Chachi likes the big yard to roam around; he's older so he does not play but he still likes the opportunity to go free in the fenced in yard. Ian can well accommodate little ones, big ones and handicapped ones all together for a nice time to be had by all. Ian offers food on time and often, sets out clean full water (I know other places that do not set out water the whole day) and he accommodates each individual dog's needs.”

About: I do take up to 4 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s). I can take your dog on an hour long early morning walk/run near a park close to where I live, so we can also play ball, Frisbee or with a toy! Then I could take your dog to 1-3 additional walks throughout the day. I try to make the dog feel at home,by being calm and trying to understand his/her body language, quirks and personality. Giving them affection and playing with them, but also some alone time.
“I am so blessed to have found her not far from home to watch over my 13 months old high energy puppy. After the first dog sitter he came to crash in his crate. He had no energy to not even jump. As first time dog owner- I have no idea what I’m doing but Jackie sure is a dog whisperer.”

“Makda was great! Very communicative and flexible. Dory, our 11-month old Goldendoodle, had a great time and came back healthy and happy. Thank you so much!”

“My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!”

“Athena took great care of our pup for daycare. She provided updates, was very caring and attentive for our pup. Athena was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions prior to taking care of our dog, which helped make the process very easy and gave us peace of mind. We recommend her!”


“Ruth has been very communicative & we could tell that she & her husband both care about the dogs she watches. Her home has a large dog run & Chase was returned to us stress free at pickup. I will be rebooking since we had such a good experience!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.
“2nd daycare stay and it went great! Our guy was fearful at first but relaxed enough to allow Joerg to pick him up (which is a big deal), plus he got friendly with their dog Lizzie. Really appreciate Joerg & Lake openness to working with us on his anxiety response.”

“great communications, right on time, dogs were happy and felt good to go with Walter, who has a very calm energy. Will hire again if we are back in Chicago.”

About: I have four American bullies. One orange tabby cat. And one turtle I like animals more than humans. And I am completely OK with that. I’m currently working part time. My availability is usually open during the week anytime after 6 PM. And my weekends are clear. I love pets and I will treat them as if they were my own family. Pets are welcome on couches and beds. Whatever makes them as comfortable as they can be. They can cuddle and get as many belly rubs as they want.
“Wow Jonathon is amazing! He takes my dog on a walk every morning during the week. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is in good hands with him. Outstanding knowledge and experience second to None! Thanks for the great work my friend.”

“Justina was so great with our puppy, we are so grateful for the care, clear communication, adorable pics, and thoughtful gift as well! We would definitely love to have Justina come back anytime!”


About: I’ve been the long term walker for a rowdy pit bull, pet sitter for a house of 2 large dogs and 4 cats, and care taker of a high maintenance poodle. I’ve always loved animals and I love making them feel comfortable and happy! I am free pretty much all week with the exclusion of a few hours to see my own cat and go to the gym. I love being outside and lounging so whatever your pet is into I’m perfectly prepared. I have experience in feeding, grooming, playing, lounging, walking, and many others. I’m also a fast learner so any task you give me I will happily accept.
About: I treat every pet like family - with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! What sets me apart is my personalized, compassionate care. From playful pups needing training and fun walks to seniors needing meds and gentle attention - I'm here for it all! Pet care is a joyful part of my routine, and I build my schedule around it. I am available weekends and various weekdays for walks, and drop-ins. Whether it's a puppy needing playtime or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm flexible and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe. With a fenced yard and nearby parks, they'll enjoy playtime, cuddles, and fun adventures - plus personalized care and consistent routines.
“Parisa did a great job walking my two boys. She was very communicative and I didn’t have to worry about them all day long. I would definitely have her walk my dogs again.”


“Chris is amazing! I love the notes and attention to my puppies. They warmed up to him and you can tell how much he cares. I love his constant communication and ability to make my dogs feel safe. Thank you!!!!”

About: I have over four years of professional experience working in animal rescue, as well as a lifelong passion for animals. I have experience with and am comfortable handling dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and birds! I have medical experience and am particularly passionate and skilled at handling cats with medical/behavioral concerns. I can give injections, SQ fluids, and medications of all kinds. I also have experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes, even our largest of friends! I am comfortable handling and working with dogs with behavioral challenges including resource guarding, touch sensitivity, etc. I have a great deal of experience and passion for kitties with behavioral challenges as well. I have reliable transportation and would love to meet your furry (or feathered) family members! I currently work 9-5 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am generally home the other days of the week, I have lots of flexibility and have my own car for transportation. I am very diligent about monitoring for our friends who are escape artists. I am happy to be patient with any shy/nervous/aggressive pets and meet them where they're at. I have sat for strangers, friends, and family members and care for homeless animals daily. My goal is to provide your pets with as much normalcy and comfort as possible!
“Oliver is so gentle and kind-hearted! He's always on time, extremely flexible, and perfectly follows instructions. He makes it so easy to leave my dog in his care, and I have full confidence whenever she's with him that she's safe and happy. Her delighted reaction whenever he comes over to pick her up is the only 5⭐ review that anyone will ever need!”

“Cheryl is so good to my dogs. She really loves them and they LOVE her. She is also very accommodating with my work schedule and helps me out when I am in a bind. She is a treasure!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.

“Absolutely amazing! It is always scary leaving town knowing you have a reactive pup waiting for you at home. Tiffani was great, communicative and flexible. I definitely feel more at ease now for work travel knowing someone is in Piper’s corner.”


“Had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Lilana. I was a little anxious to use the service, but Liliana has been a delight and very communicative. Will be booking her services again.”

About: I adore taking care of animals, and can give them that warmth and love they will crave in your absence! I would do this full time if I could, and am excited to experience new animal friendships! I work in the afternoon currently, so have plenty of day availability to help out, and can come right back after a night shift if further care is needed! I believe in the golden rule, and believe in treating your pets even better than I would want to be treated. Animals trust us for their love and care, and I would never let them go without!

And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway.

“Ian took SUCH good care of my 1.5 year old bernedoodle for 3 weeks when I was traveling for work. I had so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting lots of care, play time and super long, scenic walks every day! Ian was super communicative and sent pictures of Banksy multiple times a day, which I very much appreciated. He told me about the couple of other dogs that he watched as well and how Banksy got along with each. Ian really is thoughtful about how the dogs interact together and makes sure they have safe, supervised play and will give them space, if needed. I know Banks absolutely LOVED being there and was sad to leave! I will 100% be reaching out to Ian the next time I go out of town.”

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“Gunter had another great stay with Merrick! He consistently provides updates on how he is doing and sends cute pictures. It’s so nice having a reliable place for Gunter to feel comfortable and have fun while I am out of town worry-free.”

“Sophie & Sean were extremely caring and considerate sitters for our 14 year old, cockapoo, Dunkin’. They were incredibly patient and loving to our boy and his special needs while we were away. They treated him as though he was their own! Throughout the stay, they kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which really put us at ease. It was clear that Sophie & Sean went above and beyond to make sure Dunkin’ was comfortable and well-cared for. Very grateful to have found them 🐾💗”

“Christian was amazing! He took amazing care of my dog. Every photo he sent it looked like Dallas was having an absolute blast! 10/10 would recommend and would def contact him again”

“Amy & Christopher and their adorable kids took great care of our chocolate lab, Coco. They walked her, took her to the park and even taught her to shake :) Highly recommend!”

“Michelle took Macy into her home and was so sweet to accommodate me with a last minute work trip that I had out of town. I could tell Macy was so well taken care of while I was gone, and felt right at home! I'll definitely be using Michelle for boarding my pup with future trips :)”


“Arlene was a great sitter for our energetic puppy. This was our first experience leaving our puppy for an extended period of time, and having our puppy stay with Arlene was the best thing we could have done. She was very attentive giving Bailey frequent walks and kept us updated with daily pics. We’ll be sure to use Arlene again!”
“My dog Waylon stayed with Sarah and Walter for daycare and boarding over the last two months and I cannot recommend them enough. I got plenty of updates and they treated Waylon like he was their own. He loved staying with them so much that he would run in as soon as they opened the door. Thank you so much!”
