“Eloise was accommodating to our trip changes and odd flight times making our drop off and pick up times easier for us. We appreciate the time she spends with our senior dog.”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Five-star review for Mariah! 🌟 My dog, Lovely Bella, spent an extended weekend in her care, and it was an amazing first boarding experience. Mariah kept in consistent contact with us and sent plenty of photos to show how well Lovely Bella was doing. Upon return Lovely Bella was all smiles with a happily wagging tail! I can now travel with peace of mind knowing that the smallest member of our family is in such good hands.”
“I’ve used so many Rovers and she is absolutely fantastic. Takes care of my pup as if she were my own, and has a way better back yard for them to run around in. Great about photo and video updates, too. Highly recommend.”
“Ruby had a wonderful stay and made lots of new friends. I’m grateful to have a place where I feel comfortable leaving my fur baby and knowing she will be well taken care of 💕”
“Magda and her family are truly angels on earth. Their home is clean, calm, inviting, and happy. Rufus was instantly comfortable there which is no small feat with my nervous little dude. They treated him like their own during his stay, making sure he was warm, cozy, fed and happy, and she sent constant updates so I’d always know how he was doing. I cannot recommend them enough, and am so grateful to have found them on Rover. Thank you Magda and crew!!”
“This was the first time that my dogs had been left overnight anywhere. I was nervous at first but, Lisa made me feel comfortable and assured me that the dogs would be just fine. She sent me texts& pictures to update me. My older dog Terra has always seemed to be dog aggressive; yet within two days she was playing with other dogs with no problem. I plan to use Lisa's services in the future.”
“Karen was great with our dogs Bella and Brandy! She was very friendly and responsive and sent us lots of updates and pictures during our vacation! We will definitely use Karen again for future trips!”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”
“Leslie has watched our 2 dogs a couple times. She’s very kind and our dogs love staying with her. She sends pictures and gives us updates regularly. Her communication is excellent. We HIGHKY recommend her.”
“Bridget was absolutely amazing!!! We left our 3 year old German Shepherd with her for over a week and at first like all dog parents we were nervous, as it was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know. But we went and met with her and all was well. We are so happy with her service and she is so responsive! You can tell she has the best heart and loves your baby like her own!! We received photos everyday if not twice a day and Ruger played and loved all of her pups too! We will FOR SURE be using her services again and highly recommend her to all dog parents!! Thank you so much Bridget, Mr Ruger already can’t wait to come back and play!!! ❤️”
“Due to changes in plans, we reached out for a last minute Christmas puppy sitter, and Nichole was willing to help! And she did amazing. She was attentive to our dogs, able to meet their needs, and was even willing to extend the reservation for another half day. She had the perfect house set up to give out babies what they needed. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll be sure to ask if she’s available!”
“Absolutely Wonderful ❣️ Mercedes & her family welcomed my SaxyPoo into their home 🏡 with big hugged & sloppy kisses👄. They kept him active with plenty of walks & play. Mercedes kept me abreast of my baby with a collage of pictures & messages. She is very organized & intentional about the care for each pet while demonstrating her knowledge of the family with homemade treats.”
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Iman was awesome with my Oreo. She was very accommodating with my schedule. She sent plenty of photos for updates during his stay. I could tell he really enjoyed himself because she got him to get in the pool lol. Iman is a sweetheart. She sent Oreo home with a special treat of homemade food. I would definitely use Iman again.”
“Leo and Mickey loved staying at Barbara's house. They said they felt right at home.( which may or may not be a good thing). They know if their human family goes away again they do not have to be afraid. If Barbara is home they are packing their things and going to her house!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals. I adopted two dogs named Rosco and Oakley. I also adopted a cat named Lacey. I use to work at a doggy daycare/boarding center. I’ve been a sitter for family and friends animals throughout the years. I work full time Monday-Friday 07:30 to 16:00. I am able to stop by anytime after 16:00. Weekends have more availability. I can help out whenever I am needed. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs that are very friendly. I’ve used crates as needed, mainly for training purposes. I’ve taught our dogs basic commands as well.
“She is a great pet sitter and my baby Evie loves being at her house! She sends a bunch of pictures throughout the visit and keeps me well updated. Thank you for watching him!”
“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was 16. Having a dog of my own growing up helped with most of my experiences. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I always treat each animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, so l have flexible availability for pet care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding I’m always open to last minute changes if that’s what your schedule ever needs it. I take care of pets by feeding them, giving them water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, giving meds if needed, and hanging out with them to make sure they’re happy and safe. I treat as if they were my own with the love and respect they deserve.
“Alexa was a perfect sitter for us! She is professional, nice, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. And most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! We will be using her services again.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly understand that every pup is different. I trained my own stubborn Yorkie with patience and consistency, and I currently care for my senior Golden Retriever who has hip issues so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and gentle, slower-paced seniors. Whether your dog needs structured walks, positive reinforcement, or a calm and patient pace, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy every step of the way. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure you feel completely comfortable while your pup is in my care. I’d love to meet your best friend! 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prioritize staying active and structured in my days — I regularly go to the gym and attend Bible study — which allows me to consistently plan walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests when possible. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust is, and I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !

I am flexible as well in the mornings. I am aware of all doors and locks.

“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”

I work remotely and am home all day, providing attentive, consistent care and companionship to ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and never alone while your gone.

About: ‼️Please read entirety of bio prior to sending a booking request Please note: My Rover profile information may not always be the most up to date, as I also own and operate my own pet care business - but I still get notifications here! Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors, rescues, anxious dogs, puppies, large breeds, and special-needs pets. ⸻ What I Offer • In-home dog boarding in a low-volume, structured environment • Structured dog daycare with supervised play and rest breaks • Drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, enrichment, and medications • Dog walks tailored to your dog’s comfort, energy level (must not pull heavily on leash) • Care for seniors, rescues, anxious, and special-needs dogs • Slow, intentional introductions and individualized care plans • Solo or one-on-one care options when appropriate for daycare and boarding • Real-time updates with plenty of photos and detailed written notes ‼️I do not provide boarding or daycare for cats, and I do not offer overnight stays in clients’ homes. ‼️Meet and Greets are mandatory to schedule any service. ‼️My two dogs, Trooper and Moose, will NOT be present for the meet and greet for boarding and daycare ‼️Dates are not reserved unless a deposit is prepaid in advance. ‼️Dogs must be crate trained to stay at Bee’s Bed and Barkfast daycare and boarding. This is a non negotiable for safety, feeding, rest and safe transitions. ‼️Boarding can be booked anytime, as long as the dates are within the next 3 months. I do not book out more than 3 months in advance. I am available generally anytime between sunrise and sunset. Due to a vision disability, I may occasionally need to adjust timing on very rainy days, and I do not drive after dark. If weather requires a schedule shift, I’ll always communicate in advance and ensure your pet still receives attentive, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I provide intentional, structured care designed to reduce stress, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, predictable experience for both pets and owners. This applies whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or in mine. How I care for pets & homes: • Safety-first, prevention-focused handling at all times • Calm routines that prioritize rest, enrichment, and emotional regulation • Respectful care of your home… clean, secure, and exactly how you left it • Doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions double-checked every visit • Clear, proactive communication so you’re never left wondering how things are going Boarding & Daycare Environment: • Low-volume, home-based care, not a brick and mortar storefront or warehouse-style daycare • Structured daycare with supervised interactions and enforced rest breaks • Slow, intentional introductions tailored to each dog’s comfort level • Solo or one-on-one care available for dogs who need space or prefer independence at an increased rate • Crate training mandatory to ensure smooth transitions and safety How I differ from other sitters: • I do not force interactions or “let dogs work it out” • I do not overbook or rotate large groups of unfamiliar dogs • I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach Instead, I focus on individualized care, clear boundaries, and calm structure, the kind of environment where dogs can truly settle, decompress, and feel secure.

About: No one likes to choose favorites, but let's face it, beloved animals definitely get all my hugs and kisses! I love being outdoors, being active, and spending time with my favorite companions.

My availability is customized to your needs, and I look forward to working with you and your furry friends! My schedule is home based and very flexible! Your pet's care, including multiple walks, or possible adventures, their feeding, play time, rest, and comfort all come first!

I feel very comfortable leaving Xo with Karen and Tom and would definitely recommend them!”

About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.
About: I have owned or cared for cats/dogs my entire life. My two year old Havanese is my only dog and he is great with smaller dogs.

I have completed basic training with my Havanese and acquired some basic commands with the help of treats and consistency. I provide interactive games for your dog to enjoy while challenging them, trips to the park, dog friendly table food, and toys to keep them busy. I currently work full time from home so they are not alone while in my care. I have adjusted my work schedule so that I can be at home and provide my services full time. I have fenced yard and a three bedroom house where all pets are free to run and play. I currently live alone with my own dog.

“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away
About: The biggest thing that I believe sets me apart from other pet sitters is my knowledge of psychology and behavior which in turn allows me to connect and tend to the needs of animals. I have been told many times that I am the only stranger that their pet gets along with! I also am a part time caretaker for my grandfather. My responsibilities often include cleaning, shopping, and cooking. I really enjoy it. Lastly, I volunteered at a farm in Oregon for about 3 months back around early 2022. I was routinely in charge of many tasks relating to the care of animals including feeding chickens, cleaning the chicken coop, periodically moving cows to fresh pasture...etc. I am currently attending college online and work a part-time job. Taking care of animals on my own time works very well for me and I enjoy it a lot! I have been the primary owner of my 3 year old pug named Captain up until a year ago when I started to live with my grandfather to take care of him. Due to various factors, Captain now primarily stays at my parents' house (15 min away) which works out very well for everybody. I often have him over and also watch him at my parents' house when nobody is around. I take him out whenever he scratches at the door and take him on at least one walk a day. In between his meals I will give him snacks in exchange for tricks! That being said, if you are teaching your dog certain things, I would be glad to do my part in teaching as well! Last thing that I believe is very important would be cleaning off the paws with a towel after letting my dog outside when it’s muddy and wet outside.
About: I will be able to provide one on one care & I have volunteered at South Suburban humane society. I love dogs. Excercise is important and love and caring for a dog is important as well. I will provide both love and excercise for your dog. My services will be done passionately & thoroughly. I understand that dogs deserve the same care as a child. They are dependent on us to make them feel loved and feed them. My home is a cage free home. Your pet will be able to make my house their home away from home. I will take exceptional care of your pet. Available 7 days a week and accept last min bookings. If I’m not physically available I have someone readily available to get your pet until I am available. I am a registered nurse so I work either 8 hours or 12 hours, but I pick the days I want to work . I have a large fenced yard. I am crate free boarding but will crate if you request. We will take 1-2 walks per day & lots of play time in the backyard.
About: Growing up I took care of our dogs daily. Bathing feeding and playtime were guaranteed. I have taken care of family and friends dogs whenever they need, whether it’s a drop in or multiple days in a row. Care included feeding walking playing -plenty of one on one time. I currently work part time as a personal trainer. My schedule allows flexibility to care for your pets. Mon and Wednesday afternoons plus Tues, Thursdays & Fridays have flexibility throughout the day. I will abide by rules you set forth in your home. Your dog’s safety and well being are my priority. Walking & playing ensure your pup is well taken care of.
About: I hope to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while their beloved owner is away. I have plenty of experience with animals being I have grown up with various pets. Whether it is for 30 minutes or 4 days I plan to love your pets as if they were my own! I currently do not have any pets of my own but my roommate has a medium sized dog but if I’m pet sitting they most likely won’t be home. I am a very outgoing and energetic person, I also enjoy being outside a lot. I hope to bring your furry friend to one of the many dog parks nearby. I like all animals small or big and would love to spend some time with your furry besties! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me or message me on here! Talk soon! :) I just moved to the city so my schedule is all open but I plan on getting a part time or full time job in the future I allow pets on furniture and beds we also have lots of extra toys. I am fully capable of feeding, walking, and covering play time. I also can implement good behavior training (non professional) but just basic sit, stay, paw. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with me taking photos of your pup or kitty ( I like to use them for my profile to show my diverse set of ‘clientails’) but of course that is up to you :)
About: I've had multiple pets for the past 15 years. My husband and I have 3 cats and recently just adopted a 3 month old German Shepherd/Rottweiler pup that we’re absolutely in love with. I understand the importance of having play time for pets and will be more than willing to play a near endless game of fetch and anything else to help stretch their legs - and if your furbabies prefer to just snuggle for a bit and get some love, I am perfectly content with that, too! I am currently living in Green Park and have flexible availability, including both weekdays and weekends. I am able and willing to pet-sit, as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me and ask. I'm a pretty friendly, outgoing, and energetic person who just loves animals (: I currently am only working in-person on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday so I have some flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I can easily help on weeknights, as well. My backyard is fully fenced. If your pet does better in a crate, I am okay with doing this as well if it is what you do in your own environment. Anything I can do to keep your pet on their normal routine with you is what I strive to do. Consistency helps a lot with pets being in a different environment or just with a different person in general.
About: I currently have 3 dogs! I have a Female Goldendoodle, Male Yorkie. My female Pitbull just recently passed away at 12 years old. She was the biggest sweetheart. I also have a Male cat! I recognize that they all have different needs and personalities, such as with health, and I prioritize those needs each and every day. My animals are my family. Nothing is better than making sure your loved one is content and taken care of. I can assure you that your animals will have all needs met and on top of that, they’ll feel an overflow of love as long as they are in my care! I'm currently a senior in college! I do work a part-time job while in school, which is 9-2 on Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays, so I'm available to prioritize walks, check ins, or other care needs from about 2:30-4:45 on those days. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work either 9-2 or 2-7, so my availability varies those days, but I do have that set schedule a month in advance. If I'm scheduled for Saturdays, my shift is 11-5 and if I'm scheduled for Sundays it's 11-4, but again I do get my schedule ahead of time, so I'm able to give notice of my exact availability each month for those dates! I’m very flexible when needed. I keep notes in my phone, just as I do with babysitting children, to keep detailed information regarding my clients preferences for their animal in their home. Once you get to know your clients, this information just becomes what you know, but it’s still important to have the information safe and stored, so that I’m always able to abide by my clients routine and rules for their animals.
About: I have an extensive background in professional animal care at grooming and boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, and educational institutions. I am fear-free and pet CPR certified and the owner of my small business, Passionate Pet Care where I consider the health and happiness of my clients to be my top and only priority. I graduated in 2024 with my bachelors degree in Animal Poultry and Veterinary Sciences and am currently obtaining my DVM degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. Throughout my many experiences, I have become comfortable working with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and health conditions. If I had to choose 2 words to describe myself, they would be reliable and attentive. I have a deep passion for animal welfare and I hope to have the privilege of meeting your little family member soon! I’m currently off for summer break so my availability is open! I am used to caring for pets on a daily basis as I have a 5 year old domestic short hair, Leo and I often help my parents and friends care for their pets. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for while you're away. I closely follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions provided by pet parents. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat the home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away! <3

“Eloise was accommodating to our trip changes and odd flight times making our drop off and pick up times easier for us. We appreciate the time she spends with our senior dog.”
“Five-star review for Mariah! 🌟 My dog, Lovely Bella, spent an extended weekend in her care, and it was an amazing first boarding experience. Mariah kept in consistent contact with us and sent plenty of photos to show how well Lovely Bella was doing. Upon return Lovely Bella was all smiles with a happily wagging tail! I can now travel with peace of mind knowing that the smallest member of our family is in such good hands.”

“Bridget was absolutely amazing!!! We left our 3 year old German Shepherd with her for over a week and at first like all dog parents we were nervous, as it was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know. But we went and met with her and all was well. We are so happy with her service and she is so responsive! You can tell she has the best heart and loves your baby like her own!! We received photos everyday if not twice a day and Ruger played and loved all of her pups too! We will FOR SURE be using her services again and highly recommend her to all dog parents!! Thank you so much Bridget, Mr Ruger already can’t wait to come back and play!!! ❤️”
“Due to changes in plans, we reached out for a last minute Christmas puppy sitter, and Nichole was willing to help! And she did amazing. She was attentive to our dogs, able to meet their needs, and was even willing to extend the reservation for another half day. She had the perfect house set up to give out babies what they needed. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll be sure to ask if she’s available!”
“Absolutely Wonderful ❣️ Mercedes & her family welcomed my SaxyPoo into their home 🏡 with big hugged & sloppy kisses👄. They kept him active with plenty of walks & play. Mercedes kept me abreast of my baby with a collage of pictures & messages. She is very organized & intentional about the care for each pet while demonstrating her knowledge of the family with homemade treats.”
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Michelle and her family were wonderful with our two dogs for the week! She went above and beyond following our instructions to truly provide them with a good home, giving us peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would absolutely recommend using her!”
“Kim did an incredible job caring for my nervous dog while I was away for a week. She went above and beyond to ensure my pup felt comfortable and safe in a new environment. Her thoughtful care and regular updates gave me peace of mind. It’s clear that Kim truly cares and takes her responsibility seriously.”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“After rescuing our pup not more than 7 months ago, we didn't know what to expect when going out of town. Kate was nothing short of a blessing. With her profound knowledge of animal care, and large area for numerous animals to play and explore, we knew she was the one for our Moose. It was only a short two day trip, but every step of the way, she was eager to let us know how moose was while we were away. We cannot recommend Kate more! Thank you Kate!”
