“I’ve had an excellent experience working with Robynn and getting to know her! She truly loves on all the dogs in her care. She has a great dog friendly environment inside and outside. Communication with us was excellent while we were away. I loved the videos she sent me each day so I could see how our dog was doing. And she was very helpful to accommodate some late changes in our travel plans. I highly recommend her and expect I will seek her help again in the future.”
“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“I want to start by saying I’m no stranger to dog sitters. I’ve been in need for someone to watch my dog many of times and in the past, my sitters have all been pretty good. However, when it comes to Pallvi, I have to say she was absolutely exceptional!! Plenty of checkins thought the sitting, very understanding on pick up and drop off timing, and super competitive pricing! Easily one of the best sitters I’ve gone with this far and I’ll admit I don’t plan on using any other sitter besides her in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! 10/10!!! 😊❤️💯”
“Maria did a great job but what i appreciated was administering my guy's medicine and most of all staying up late to hand off my dog when my flight was badly delayed. Thanks again Maria”
“We boarded our 2 little guys with Rosarin for several nights and could tell they were very well cared for. We got updates via the app on their days felt relieved they were in excellent care. Would highly recommend!”
“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”
“All good! Thank you for taking care of Steely, our quirky and a bit anxious boy. He hung out with Danielle and a good-natured golden doodle. Sounds like it was a perfect pairing that calmed him down and brought out his playful side. Thanks for everything, Danielle!”
“"Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arizona. I was very satisfied with the care she received and greatly appreciated the updates, feedback, and pictures while I was away. When I picked her up, she seemed so happy and content, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It's clear she was well cared for, and I know she'll be in great hands when I book with you again in the future. Thank you for everything!"”
“Our lively viszla pup had a great time with Elise. She was very responsive and caring in the lead up to his stay, and we even had a meet and greet beforehand to ensure we could pass on all instructions… He was well exercised and well loved during the eight days or so that we were gone. We received lots of photos, and he came back with some excellent manners.”
“Ashley was so wonderful with our dog, Mocha, and was extremely thorough with everything. This was the first time our puppy stayed overnight somewhere, and we felt so comfortable having Mocha stay with her & her family 😊”
“Nina was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. This was our first experience using Rover and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog Beverly with her. Beverly was exhausted when she got home so we know that she played a lot. Thank you so much! We will be back!”
“Sonia and Greg are wonderful!! I feel that Kuma was well taken care of while we were gone for 2 weeks. I was sent pictures of her having a great time with Sammy and kept informed about how she was doing. Sammy (such a sweet dog) seemed to be best friends with her by playing with her and cuddling up with her. She almost seems somewhat sad as though she misses him since coming home! Kuma loves people and other dogs; I didn't want to board her at a place where she would be in a cage half of the day. With Greg and Sonia, she got the love, exercise and attention that she demands;)!”
“This is our 3rd time working with Beth! Her and her family are so awesome with our dog!!! She is always sending pictures and her kids are always giving our guy love! We will continue to use Beth NO DOUBT when we need somewhere for Canon to go!”
“It was such a relief to meet Lynda and Paul! It was our first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive. After our meet n great, I felt so comfortable and knew my dog would be well cared for. When I picked Louie up at the end of the weekend, he was calm and happy. I will definitely use Lynda, again!”
About: Dogs bring joy to our daily lives! Growing up with pets, I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for especially when you’re not home. With over six years of experience caring pets for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve become a trusted sitter who treats every animal like my own. I work a hybrid schedule and live in a pet and family neighborhood, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. My availability is always current, and I’m happy to offer boarding, drop-in visits and dog walking to fit your pet’s needs. My priority is to provide exceptional care for your furry friend! I’ll keep you reassured with plenty of photo updates, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including dietary requirements, medication, potty breaks, walks, etc.
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”

“Megan was great with my cat! She made sure to spend some time with Allspice when she came to feed her and I really appreciated that!! Allspice was obviously lonely while I was gone. I would definitely have Megan do drop-ins next time I need someone!”
“Sarah was great with my cats. I have two cats and one is very shy. She usually hides but Sarah sent pictures and I was surprised to see she came out and let Sarah pet her. Sarah is professional and I know I can trust her. I will be using her again!”
“Vivian has visited our cat on two occasions and does a great job. He is diabetic and she administers his insulin shot twice a day while we are away. She is very reliable and ensures she's communicating any details durijg her visits, etc. Will definitely keep requesting her services for Connor when we travel!”
“Heather has watched my cats multiple times and continues to be top tier. Her updates are always detailed and she seems to enjoy time with them. Very understanding of any adjustments on my end or hectic planning. 10/10 again and again 👍🏼”
“Paula did a great job with our two babies. We loved that she came onboard at the very last minute to help us. I tipped her, in gratitude, at the beginning. She’s terrific!!”
About: I had a cat from when she was a kitten to when she died of old age, and am familiar with every step in the process of caring for a cat! I am happy to give them as much or as little attention as they desire, and would love to meet your furry little friend!!
“Mary took extra special care of our kitties and was even kind enough to water my plants. It gave us much needed peace of mind so we could relax while away! She was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!”
“She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Victoria was awesome with our 2 cats! She took great care of them and followed our directions precisely. She even helped problem-solve an issue with the automatic feeder to ensure they would be okay after she left. My shy cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them!”
“Elena was fantastic! Elena watched our two pets (Guinea Pigs) while we were out of town. Both pets are recent rescues and they both warmed up to Elena right away. We are very pleased. Elena is very friendly, respectful, great communication, and knowledgeable. We had peace of mind knowing out pets where in great hands.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for family and friends’ dogs while also attending dog training classes to better understand their needs and behavior. As the proud owner of two very spoiled cats, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and reliability I give my own. I currently work full-time (9-5) which gives me flexibility to perform pet care before and after work, as well as the weekends! I have my own car so transportation is never a problem I am very comfortable caring for pets in the home and love to take dogs on walks. I have experience with most domesticated animals and am willing to learn how yours wants to be cared for.
“Isabella was great with both my small dog and frisky cat. She gave each of them plenty of attention and paid attention to their quirky personalities. She was very conscientious and included in her notes each visit, her observations about my house including noting a small ant infestation which I appreciated!”
“Cynthia is absolutely fantastic! She spends a lot of time playing with our cat and gives her lots of attention and love. She communicates very well on what she gives our cat, on what my cat was doing, my cat's demeanor, etc. But Cynthia also goes above and beyond what we could ask or expect. Like she will take the scooped litter all the way out of the house (so the house doesn't stink) and she'll vacuum any scattered litter with pretty much every visit. We don't even do that every day, ha! 😆 She takes her cat sitting visits very serious and l can tell she loves her feline clients very much. I heard about Cynthia through a referral and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a kitty sitter. She's the best.”
“Alexis did an amazing job with my cat! She was able to give him his oral medication (which is not easy to shove down his throat) and his inhaler. She earned his trust and he loved her by the end. Alexis sent me videos and pictures every time she would drop in. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: TLDR; I treat every pet like the main character. I lost my furbaby to kidney disease in July 2025 and it was absolutely life-shattering. I was so connected to her that she meant the world to me. While I'm not ready for another dog to fulfill my life, I'm ready to open my heart and home to care for your pet. I currently have 2 senior cats in my home. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs and cats over the years, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, enrichment activities, and giving an abundance of affection. Your furbaby gets my full attention and a warm, peaceful home environment. I’m patient, safety-focused, and great at picking up on a pet’s personality—whether they want playtime, snuggles, or a little space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If you think we'd be a good fit, let's chat! I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets attention, regular outdoor time, and consistent routines throughout the day. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and safe space. I stick closely to your furbaby's usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at ease during their stay. I keep a tidy environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I make sure they always have fresh water, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of attention.

“Robynn did an amazing job with our Coco. She kept us updated the whole day. You can see how much she loves and cares for dogs. We know Coco Had a great time. He was so happy to see us when we picked him up. Once we got home he went straight to bed he was so tired. Thank You Robynn”
“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets.

Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just some comforting company, will treat your pets like family. You can count on us to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away!

Pets will be let outside on a leash and supervised. Can crate if necessary, if this is a comfort to the animal. Sections of the house are blocked off to keep them in controlled areas.
“Justine is so compassionate with my dog. She assured me he would be at home and he is. I appreciate the interaction her family and cats with my pup. He comes home happy and tired. I highly recommend Justine.”
“We were greeted warmly for the Meet & Greet by Sammy happily carrying a toy outside to welcome us into Sonia & Greg’s huge backyard. Wow! What a great yard for dogs to run & play in. We immediately felt comforted by Sonia’s kindness and her confidence and experience handling dogs. Our dog truly enjoyed wrestling & playing with Sammy who was exactly as Sonia described him to be. He was the perfect playmate. Thank you Sonia & Greg & Sammy for sending us photos and taking great care of our dog!”
“My pup is normally very shy and takes him time warming up, but he loved Rosarin right away! He took treats (which never happens), enjoyed a nice long walk with her, and spent some time hanging out with her dog. Rosarin is great with animals, and she shared lots of helpful insights and cute pics/videos. Fantastic sitter, will use her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hello! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have been caring for animals my whole life, including my own pets and also dogs I foster for a local rescue. I would love to care for your furry family member as well. As a Type-A personality and a mother of 3 humans and 3 dogs, I am very organized, reliable, detail-oriented, caring, and trustworthy. I work from home part-time in the photography industry and would love to help you add to the adorable photos of your pet while they are in my care, if you would like! I have a Masters Degree in Higher Education and a Bachelors in Entrepreneurship, both at Illinois State University. I did my business plan on a doggy day care and when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet, so as you can see...caring for animals has been in my blood from a young age! Several of my animals have had special needs or are prone to injury, so I have LOTS of experience in that regard. My vet can vouch for the fact that I would make a great vet tech. Blood and other bodily fluids do not phase me and I am cool as a cucumber under pressure (I've dealt with two dogs with broken legs, two dog strokes, cancer, many a laceration, a diabetic cat, and a dog with no eyes.) I also have fostered several puppies and love their puppy breath! Happy to help care for the youngest of your pets as well. I work from home part-time during typical business hours and cart my kids to and from their activities. My spare time is spent caring for your furry friends! Whether I am coming into your home or your pets are coming into mine, your pets and property will be treated with the utmost care and consideration. I will provide the excellent service I expect for pet sitters for my own family dogs and nothing less. Safety and security are also top of mind and, with my high attention to detail, nothing will be missed. Pets in my home will be treated like family. We have 2 retired racing greyhounds who are loving, calm, and kind, as well as a foster-fail super mutt who loves to play and keep our house safe from chipmunks and mail carriers. I have three kids (12, 10, and 7) who all have extensive experience with dogs and who will help me respectfully love on your pet while you are away. We have a LARGE fenced in yard with lots of little critters to sniff after and plenty of room to run. We live in a pet-friendly cul-du-sac with several dogs and chickens next door.
“We were visiting the area for a conference and wanted to have Bailey close so that she knew we'd come back for her. It takes a while to hear back from the caretaker, and I didn't get photos. However, our Bailey girl seemed just fine when we picked her up, which was a HUGE relief. The separation anxiety was there, but it was not as severe as I had anticipated. . When we come up next year, we will reach out to Barbara again!”
“Ashley is one of those sitters that you feel so safe dropping off your baby.She makes sure they are safe and goes out of her way to accommodate any sudden changes all with a beautiful smile.She is the best”
About: We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments. We both have flexible working schedules, especially in the summer. We have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pet and are used to juggling multiple tasks. My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.
About: I grew up in a big family , we always had pets from dogs-hamsters! And we took care as if they were part of the family . I am compassionate, and I would love your animals and care for them and treat them with kindness as if they were family. As a mom of 5 older kids, I’ve gotten really good at balancing routines and staying organized. Now that they’re more independent, I have lots of free time in my day to dedicate to caring for pets, giving them attention, exercise, and a reliable schedule. I did have 3 cats and 1 dog at one time before. They still are part of the family they live with family members and I visit them time to time and they come to my house as well. I love walking dogs and taking care of animals that are only comfortable in your home. I am a trust worthy person when it comes to someone trusting me in their home. Clients should know that their home and their pet are well taken care of and respected.
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs and cats ranging in new puppies and kittens to the senior citizens of the pet world. I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week and enjoy getting to know new dogs and cats. I am readily accessible to the Riverwalk for long walks. I have permit for my dog at the DuPage Dog Parks and am very familiar with the parks in the greater Naperville Wheaton area.
About: I have training experience and boarding experience. I’ve been doing this for over 2+ years. I know the signs to watch out for for aggression and seizures. I am doing this full-time as my job to take care of others fur babies while they’re away on vacation. In a home setting like there’s. I have a yard to play in and my dog loves playing with others. We do so many activities. I have crates if needed& beds
About: Over the past year, I have been actively pet sitting for friends, caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and following specific instructions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I used to be an IT professional, retired recently after both my kids graduated from college. Now we are empty-nested with no pets no kids. ☺️ I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, walking, and playtime. When I am going to run some errands, my husband who is working at home and also a pet-lover will watch the fur baby so he/she is accompanied most of the time. Need a daytime solution for your furry friend? I also provide flexible Doggy Day Care alongside my regular boarding services. For all new clients, the first step is always a Meet & Greet to ensure we're a perfect match for your pup！ My journey into Rover boarding comes from a place of deep love for dogs. After 11 wonderful years together, my beloved dog passed away two years ago. While my heart has healed, I missed the joyful energy, the sound of paws on the floor, and the companionship of a dog in the house. I chose to start pet boarding because it allows me to pour all that lifetime of accumulated love, patience, and spoiling into your furry baby! When your pet stays with me, they won't just be "looked after"—they will be treated with the exact same deep devotion, warmth, and care that I gave my own boy for over a decade. I will only take one pet a time for boarding. Pet will enjoy completely unrestricted, free roam of our home, plenty of one-on-one attention, and a daily routine tailored exactly to their comfort level. Please bring your pets food and treats. If your pet has favorite bed/blanket/toy, bring them, otherwise they can use our dog bed, our sofa and, my bed! Small or medium size dogs (<40 lb).

“Sydney was fantastic! And it makes going away so much easier knowing that Mia is in good hands with someone who meets Mia as she is and is patient as Mia takes her time to warm up”
“Crissy has been helping us for many weeks now and we love her! Our three dogs can be a handful, but I always know they are in good hands with Crissy. I know this is like my third review. But seriously- if youre looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and with the perfect calming energy for your dogs- Crissy is the best choice.”
About: I have had various cats and dogs over the years, including dogs I have owned for 8 years and a cat. Both my dogs are old and I’m familiar with caring for old dogs, and one takes medication twice a day and is disabled, so I am comfortable with taking care of disabled pets. Also comfortable for taking care of multiple animals in one home is needed, and I have previous experience in this. I currently do not have a day job, and will therefore have lots of time to dedicate to animal care! I am happy to be as involved and present as needed to make you and your pet feel comfortable. I will care for your pet in your home by being very mindful of them, their favorite spots, and where to find the necessities for my stay there. I will make sure that even though your pet misses you, we will have as much fun as possible in the meantime!
About: Se habla español / すこしにほんごをしっています I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from wild puppies to gentle seniors. With experience handling both small and large dogs, I know how to balance fun, structure, and patience to help every pup feel safe and happy. I own a high-energy Portuguese Water Dog and grew up with calm, funny pugs, so I’m comfortable adapting to all personalities, energy levels, and sizes. My schedule is flexible and I can work around most pup’s schedules and needs. I am unavailable on Tuesdays, but available the rest of the week! My motto is to always love and care for others as if it was my own, no matter the personality or need. They are like people: they need intentionality, care, attention, and love, and some of the ways I try to incorporate that into my regular care is by wiping their paws and mouth with dog safe wipes after a walk/outdoor time. My dog is like my son to me, and I want to offer the same kind of love and care to those that might need extra help with walks throughout the week.
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”

“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I love dogs! I enjoy walking dogs and meeting new dogs. They are such sweet animals and I love to be able to help them see and explore the world on walks. I take care of a 14 year old beagle and go on frequent walks with him. I can walk dogs during my lunch break on weekdays. I can also come in the late afternoon as well to walk your dog. Let me know what you need and I can help accommodate your schedule! I have a beagle that I adore and take him on 3 walks a day. I love walking dogs and meeting new dogs at the dog parks that I visit. I also love taking care of friends dogs and would love to take care of your dog as well!
“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”
“Vivian has been our dog walker for the past couple months and has been getting along well with our dog Maxx. She communicates well and responds promptly. Maxx seems to really enjoy his walks with her by the cute pictures we get from the walk. My dog Maxx can easily be scared and doesn't always like to stay out long, but Maxx seems very comfortable with Vivian since he walks around a lot and stays out long. You can tell she works well with dogs especially with her experience taking care of her own dogs. I love the rover cards we get and will definitely use Vivian again in the future. I highly recommend if you need a dog walker!”

I love walking dogs and taking care of animals that are only comfortable in your home. I am a trust worthy person when it comes to someone trusting me in their home. Clients should know that their home and their pet are well taken care of and respected.
“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
“The absolute BEST dog walker we've ever had!!! I have two crazy 12 year old Husky mixes with very different needs. One is high-energy, loves to run, get into trouble and chase anything with fur or feathers. The other is arthritic, vocal and very stubborn. Sarah has been able to keep them properly exercised, entertained and above all SAFE for two years :) We are so lucky to have found her--she is an absolute GEM! I would recommend her in a heartbeat, but after seeing the 90+ glowing reviews, she doesn't need it.”

“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“Maria did a great job but what i appreciated was administering my guy's medicine and most of all staying up late to hand off my dog when my flight was badly delayed. Thanks again Maria”
“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”
“Our lively viszla pup had a great time with Elise. She was very responsive and caring in the lead up to his stay, and we even had a meet and greet beforehand to ensure we could pass on all instructions… He was well exercised and well loved during the eight days or so that we were gone. We received lots of photos, and he came back with some excellent manners.”
“Ashley was so wonderful with our dog, Mocha, and was extremely thorough with everything. This was the first time our puppy stayed overnight somewhere, and we felt so comfortable having Mocha stay with her & her family 😊”
“Sonia and Greg are wonderful!! I feel that Kuma was well taken care of while we were gone for 2 weeks. I was sent pictures of her having a great time with Sammy and kept informed about how she was doing. Sammy (such a sweet dog) seemed to be best friends with her by playing with her and cuddling up with her. She almost seems somewhat sad as though she misses him since coming home! Kuma loves people and other dogs; I didn't want to board her at a place where she would be in a cage half of the day. With Greg and Sonia, she got the love, exercise and attention that she demands;)!”
“This is our 3rd time working with Beth! Her and her family are so awesome with our dog!!! She is always sending pictures and her kids are always giving our guy love! We will continue to use Beth NO DOUBT when we need somewhere for Canon to go!”
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“Kelly and Tariq have become my ‘go to’ pet sitters and I couldn’t be more grateful to them for their hospitality and caring nature of my 4 legged kids. Love the updates and photos! Especially my last visit when they were willing to watch my 3 month old puppy who isn’t yet housebroken. Very appreciative to you and your family, thank you again!!”
“Susan and David and their son did a fabulous job watching my Maggie while I was out of the country. All of their attention was on her. They were flexible and obviously caring. Their home was immaculate. Their communication was outstanding. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we have used a sitter for our pup outside of family or close friends, and Ashley and her family were simply wonderful. She provided daily updates, fun photos and videos, and gave me comfort that our pup was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashley, and we will be return visitors!”
“Kristine and her daughter did a wonderful job taking care of our golden retriever. He seemed very happy and content when we picked him up. He takes meds for seizure control and they were able to administer this with no issues. Plus- when I picked him up they had brushed him and had him looking so handsome !”
“Kira was absolutely amazing with my dog. Thanks to her quick thinking, my dog was able to throw up the toy he accidentally swallowed. She went above and beyond by driving him to the emergency vet and staying to make sure he was okay. I’m so grateful for her care and compassion.”
“Leaving my boy with Maggie and her family is what I truly hope anyone can receive from a sitter when leaving their pups. He was very well taken care of. Thank you!”
“I was a bit anxious because my pup is still young and he never stayed at someone else's house before, and it is first time in a while for me being away from my pup, but Barbara made me feel at ease!! It was probably more of separation anxiety for me being away from my dog then the other way around :D She sent pictures and updates and the pup was taken care of, looked happy and enjoyed his stay! Barbara and her family were very nice and I will use her services again when I go on vacation!”
“Christine did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She was very communicative throughout the entire process. From reaching out in the beginning to ask her availability, to picking him up a few days later, she was great about responding to texts very promptly but would also send lots of updates throughout my time away from him. It was great to see in pictures and videos that he was having a good time and being well taken care of. I would happily ask Christine again to take care of my dog and recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to watch their pets”
