“Absolutely wonderful! My dog was happy, well-cared for, and spoiled with love while I was away. Communication was great, and I got the cutest photo updates. I couldn’t ask for better care! Would absolutely book again and recommend .”
“Josie and Michael were so good with our dog Benny. He is sometimes anxious in new situations, so we were nervous leaving him for the first time with someone other than family, but he did great! They are very kind people and the environment is very clean. They took great care of him! We have already booked our next trip with them.”
“Betty sent us texts and photos to keep us updated about our pup. Patches stayed with her for two days and two nights while we were in South Bend for game weekend. The host pups were very sweet and good companions for our dog. We would use this dog vacay again.”
“This was my second time booking with Leandra and mark. They took such good care of my dog Berry. Leandra keeps you updated and responds back fast. They will forever be who I trust my baby with!”
“Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!”
“Lynn is an absolute Godsend! She provided me multiple updates daily including photos. She offered food and health recommendations as well as resources to review and research. Lynn pampered and spoiled ChiChi during our nearly weeklong vacation. I would trust her with my own life, not just my dog’s life. She’s that darn good! I will only use her from now on and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!! Thank you again Lynn!!! 🫶🏼”
“Chris was very accommodating and Nilah seemed to have really enjoyed her time there. I appreciated his flexibility with us when I booked her drop-off at the wrong time. He sent updates and pictures. Thanks again Chris!”
“She made him very comfortable and at home. He was able to play and roam in the house and outside, with her well behaved dogs. I was very pleased with his care and plan on having Kathy watch him in the future.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating & we made a last minute booking & got the meet in greet in to make sure her doggies & ours was compatible. She welcomed us with open arms & let our dog check things out & then meet her doggie. Our dog felt comfortable & so did I & the doggies had the same energy level as ours is a boxer. Well they played & played. Loved the picture updates & video. They loved our dog like their own. She could sit on the couch with them & even sat on their laps. The fence in yard makes you feel at ease & took daily walks. We will be back. Thanks for loving our doggie & making it a stress free time away.”
“We had an amazing experience with Dez and Nick! They are incredibly caring and patient, which was so important for us since Chico is still potty training. He had a lot of fun and received so much love while we were away; it was also great for him to spend time with their dogs, Sandler and Nolly. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such kind hands. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing!! Faith was so attentive and made our anxious dogs quickly comfortable. When we picked them up they were tuckered out from having so much fun! We also received lots of pictures and videos, which we loved.”
“Lindsay was amazing!!! Leroy had a great time with her! She sent lots of pictures of my boy running around in the yard and hanging out with the other pups. Would totally book with her again! Thank you!!”
“Cassandra did a fantastic job taking care of Roxy while we were gone. She even sent updates every few days. We will definitely use Cassandra again if she is available. Thank you!”
About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).
“Great as always. Jaxson loves it there and always comes back home tired. Kevin's dogs Sly and Sage also play very well and Kevin is great about sending pictures and videos.”
“Excellent service is all I gotta say!! This was my dogs first time ever staying overnight with anyone besides her owners and she did really good, she doesn't like other animals so she had her own separate space! They kept me updated every few hours or so with videos and pictures, I will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“Victoria took really good care of Beans, kept me updated and always responded to my messages quickly. She was kind and had a great environment for pups. She took her for walks and let her sleep with her in the bed. Beans had a great time there!”

“We used Josie's services for our cat Winnie and our two pugs, Popeye and Bo while we went on a 6 day vacation. She came to our house to check on Winnie 3 days and played with her and kept our two pugs at her own house. We could not be happier with her services, she is kind, friendly and just loves our furbies. Our pugs loved her and her kids and we didn't think we would get them back, lol. We will definitely use her services again! Highly recommend her.”
“Madison was a true blessing for me and my fur babies. I had an unexpected health issue and she took care of my babies. I had to extend my stay for a week and she had no problem squeezing them into her schedule. I highly recommend Madison!!”
“"Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our feline family members! We wholeheartedly recommend her for your kitties. She was consistently punctual for feedings and provided engaging, quality playtime. We especially appreciated the daily updates with photos and feedback – her attention to detail truly made all the difference!"”
“Seriously so sweet and patient with me as I have never hired a pet sitter before! Very professional and sent me pictures of my baby while she was there. :) Would absolutely hire again!”
“Raquel was wonderful!! Our shy cat actually let her pet her on the first meeting, so that’s all I need to know to rebook her for our next trip. Communication was top notch and she sent plenty of photos which always makes us feel at ease when we’re away from our baby. Water was full and litter box was clean when we got back home. We were booking for a very last minute trip and she responded faster than anyone I messaged. Super glad we met her, I’m sure our cat will be happy to see her again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I recently moved to the U.S. and haven’t brought my own pets from Brazil yet, and I miss them so much! Caring for pets makes me feel at home again, so I treat every dog or cat as if they were mine. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and give lots of love to their pets. I work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to care for pets. Spending time with dogs and cats is something I truly enjoy, so weekends are perfect for walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I always prioritize the pet’s safety during walks, using secure leashes and staying alert to surroundings. I follow all owner instructions and keep you updated with photos and messages.
About: I have always had dogs in my life as pets. I have been house sitting for 10 years. My house sitting clients rely on me to exercise their dogs as well as feed and medicate their dogs. I have experience with all sizes and many breeds. I pet sit full time. I am available to be in the home with pets full time on most days with some exceptions for errands. I will not be offering boarding in my home but I take pride in taking care of your pets in their own homes. I follow all instructions and make sure I’m very clear on parents wishes and routines. I take care of your pet as if they were my own!
About: Hi! I'm Cassandra, a Purdue University graduate with a bachelor's degree in Animal Science. I genuinely love caring for dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, extra exercise after work, or lots of affection while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available on weekday evenings after work and flexible on weekends. I'm happy to work around your daily schedule whenever possible. I am open to discussing your needs. I have two dogs at home, and I make sure they are fed well, bathed, and get proper exercise. 😊 While I don't offer grooming services, I'm happy to brush your dog if requested. I also can do nail trims depending on the temperament of your fur baby.
“Valeria did great letting my dogs out during the week. She was especially patient with my anxious dog that is scared of strangers. She was very communicative and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Victoria was very attentive to all of Peaches’ needs, even though Peaches never showed her mouthy, fuzzy face. My home was very respected and was as if we hadn’t been gone. Victoria went above and beyond by even bringing in our mail and packages. The comfort level and communication was stellar.”
“Delana is always great with our pups and I never have to worry! Our nervous dog who barks at everyone even loves her. And she always spends extra time playing with them and loving them.”
About: Even though I love dogs, cats will always have my heart. They are amazing and often misunderstood breed. I’ve spent a great deal around them, especially in the summer looking after my aunt’s cat farm with multiple cats with different personalities. With this experience I can confidently say I’m great at reading and interpreting cat behavior. I have also administered meditation to both dogs and cats. I have zero problem cleaning litter boxes and taking care of many cats.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.
About: I have had multiple dogs of all sizes from as far back as I can remember! Since I was 10, I was in charge of the coon dog puppies we had every spring and learned the ins and outs of dog care. I currently have a fox red lab and Goldador who are my whole world! I have taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors and know how to administer oral medication, and willing to learn if anything else needs done! I am a teacher so on breaks I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! During the school year, I am available on weeknights and any time on the weekends. I have a half fenced in yard but I have dog tie cables and leashes to keep your fur baby safe. I will also keep an eye on them the entire time we are outside. I have my own friendly dogs to keep yours plenty of company! I also have plenty of toys, blankets, and extra crates for any dogs in my care. We are also very pet friendly so they will be treated as our own and get free reign of the “dog couch” 😊
About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol

“Alejandra was wonderful with our pup, Cliff! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day, and he had a blast! He had lots of friends to play with and was ready for a nap when he got home!”
“Okay, I don’t know where to start to describe Josie. She is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for my husband’s description. It means, for me she is amazing and wonderful dog sitter also her family and sweet dog Luna are big help for our dog. Bear loves playing with Luna a lot. Bear feels great in his first week and it helps a lot for our everyday routine. We don’t have to take him for a walk after work because he is already wear out once we get home. I highly recommend Josie for a dog sitter. This week is Bear’s 2nd week with Josie . Thanks a lot Josie”
“Betty was very attentive to our little, old chi (17). He seemed super relaxed and content when I picked him up. Having a fenced yard was a real treat for him. We would definitely use her again. 👍 Betty, thanks for the pics and updates each day that he was in your care. 🙂”
About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
“I’m a first time puppy parent and Chris made it so stress free for my puppy’s first daycare experience. He was only there for a few hours but he is already asleep at home so I know he had a great time! We will definitely be booking with Chris again when I need a daycare!”

“Lindsay was great! She helped me out when my sitter was not available. She has a nice, big backyard that I know my dog loved! Her and her family are very kind and took great care of my little guy.”
“I had a great experience and would highly recommend! Supitsara is very caring and knowledgeable about dogs, and really nice in general. She provided pictures and updates. I had no hesitations leaving my dog. Thank you again.”
“Flexible and an understanding caregiver for our active poodle. We were visiting out of state and Sonny was able to accommodate us last minute. Sonny sent us photos, videos, and updates through-out the day, which helped my family be more at ease. We will be using Sonny’s services when we visit next time.”
About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.
“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”
“Our pups are always well taken care of! We have used Jennifer and Larry multiple times and can drop our dogs off knowing they are in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kat was great. LiLi was a little hesitant when she saw Solo because she’s not accustomed to seeing dogs bigger than her. But, it only took a few minutes before she joined him in a game of “chase” in Kay’s spacious backyard. When Kat’s other dog, Chewie, ran out to join the fun, all three played together very well. I was very comfortable leaving LiLi with Kat.”
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
“Michaela did a wonderful job caring for our crazy 3 month old puppy. He was very tired and calm when we picked him up. We also appreciate how flexible she was. We hope to contract her again in the future for day care. Highly recommended!!!”

“This was our first time using Alejandra and I can confidently say this will not be our last. She is prompt to respond to requests and provided great communication throughout her visit with your pet. She provides many photos and videos and gives a detailed report. My puppy Luna was a little nervous upon first meeting Alejandra, but during the visit she did great! Thank you for caring for our puppy!”
About: I've been caring for pets all my life, I've cared for rabbits, adopted cats, wild cats and every dog we've ever owned from pitbull puppies to overgrown boxers with a bad attitude towards all strangers! I'm currently unemployed from my first job and I enjoy staying home caring for our dog day and night! I will be 21 in July look forward to meeting other pets! I take our pittbull out for a potty break at least every hour if she wants, I get her fresh food for breakfast and fresh water, and as long as the weather isn't too cold, hot or rainy we walk! Sometimes around a couple blocks and other times around the park or neighborhood! We make sure she is bathed often and love and cuddles as much as she can handle!
About: I've been in the animal field for 25 years and in the veterinary specific field for almost 20. I have a special interest in senior or special needs kitties and can easily administer medications and subcutaneous fluids. I'm patient and flexible and work well with owners to provide specific care needs for your critter companions and family members. I work full time currently at a veterinary clinic but am available early mornings, evenings, and afternoons when not scheduled. Available most weekends and holidays as well. I am patient and understanding of all varieties of animals, but have a special bond with feline companions. I work well with even the spiciest or scared kitties to make them comfortable and safe while in my care.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs so I have a special place in heart for them. I have grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them my whole life. I have cared for many types of dogs in a professional setting for the last 4 years so I know the struggles and also the joys of caring for pets. Friends, family and clients have trusted me to feed, water, play, walk, medicate, and take full care of their pets whatever their needs my be. But, more than that, they have trusted me to take care of their homes by bringing in the mail and packages, staying at night, and cleaning their homes and up after the pets. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a part time student which allows me to have much flexibility in my schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I care for pets in my clients home by doing any and all care my client enlists me to do. I take joy in every dog sitting job that I do and just absolutely love every minute of it. I take precautions by meeting the family and pets before agreeing to dogsit to ensure it would be a good fit the both of us. I always make sure I have up to date contact information for the client and their vet. Every dog sitting job is different but I would say an average day would look like letting the dogs out first thing in the morning and refilling water and the food bowl if necessary. Then, I'll take them for a walk and play with them, let them outside midday, play with them some more, give them a few treats to see what kind of tricks they can do, probably lots of belly rubs in between, and then feed them dinner and water. Lastly, I would take them outside right before we go to bed.
About: Hi! I’m Kiara, and I have over 4 years of experience walking and caring for pets of all kinds. I’m passionate about providing reliable, attentive care and making sure each animal’s routine, exercise, and comfort needs are met. I prioritize safety, follow any instructions from owners closely, and create a calm, comfortable environment so pets feel secure while you’re away. I am currently working full time 8am-5pm in Elkhart on weekdays, but I am happy to provide care whenever is possible especially overnight and on weekends! I prioritize safety and trust in every interaction. My home (or the space where I care for pets) is secure and free of hazards, and I always supervise pets closely. I follow any routines or instructions owners provide, including feeding, exercise, and behavior guidelines. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.

About: Pet guardian since birth. Animal care professional for over 10 years. I know that pets aren't just animals they are family! With a decade of experience with many animal species as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and shelter medicine, I offer a level of expertise that goes beyond a standard pet sitter. My background allows me to recognize subtle signs of illness or distress, administer medications, and provide animal first aid with confidence. I've also worked in boarding and training facilities and understand that many pets don’t thrive in that high stress environment. Whether your dog is a puppy, high energy, senior, timid, or exhibits reactive/aggressive behaviors, I provide a patient, low stress environment tailored to their specific needs and personality. My biggest goal is to provide the top notch care they deserve and give you total peace of mind while you're away. While I specialize in dogs, I am experienced with and more than happy to care for cats, reptiles, rodents, farm animals and more. If you have any questions about my background or specific needs for your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My entire daily routine revolves around the animals. Their meal times and potty schedules direct my whole day. My own dogs are my personal alarm clock and make sure to remind me when it's time to eat and for walks. I aim to keep routines as normal as possible. Even with fenced in yards, I go out with them and make sure everyone stays out of trouble ( no digging, chewing plants, etc), dogs are NEVER walked off leash, all dogs eat with supervision and can be separated if necessary, I will also crate if necessary if leaving the home or at night by owner request.
About: Have experience with caring for multiple pets at once, including puppies, elderly cats & dogs, & diabetic pets. Would love to help take care of your family members! I WFH and set my own schedule, so I'm very flexible in regards to my house sitting availability! As for walking, mostly available during the week but can negotiate for weekends in certain cases. I do not pet sit in my own home because I have cats of my own, but have a lot of experience house/pet sitting in clients homes and can provide references.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.
About: I have many years of animal care experience. I have worked at animal boarding facilities as well as humane shelters. I also volunteer at the local zoo and animal shelter. I am going to school to be a veterinarian. I currently work a veterinary hospital as well a veterinary ER. I would love to spend time with your pets! I am working full time and doing school online. so I will make plenty of time for your pets needs and am willing to be flexible I have three cats currently. When I go home for visits I also have two dogs that I help care for. I am comfortable with a wide variety of pets you may have!
About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol
About: I know first hand how important a pet is. They are not just a pet they are part of the family. I will make sure that the love, attention and affection lasts even when you are away. I have a huge love for animals and knowing I’m helping give your fur baby the love they deserve while keeping them out of the a stressful boarding environment makes me very happy! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off work. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and every other Saturday. My fiancé is amazing and more than willing to help me care for your pet if needed. He is as much an animal lover as me. I have had dogs all of my life so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for them. I am signing up for my dog training certification as well to help further my knowledge on dog behavior. My dream is to work with animals and this is the perfect opportunity. I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. I am flexible on my days off. However, If your home is close enough to my work I can always do a drop in during my lunch break to check on your pet and let them out to potty and play. I always try to stick to the closest routine your pet is used to as possible to help reduce any stress and anxiety that your pet may experience while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

“She made him very comfortable and at home. He was able to play and roam in the house and outside, with her well behaved dogs. I was very pleased with his care and plan on having Kathy watch him in the future.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating & we made a last minute booking & got the meet in greet in to make sure her doggies & ours was compatible. She welcomed us with open arms & let our dog check things out & then meet her doggie. Our dog felt comfortable & so did I & the doggies had the same energy level as ours is a boxer. Well they played & played. Loved the picture updates & video. They loved our dog like their own. She could sit on the couch with them & even sat on their laps. The fence in yard makes you feel at ease & took daily walks. We will be back. Thanks for loving our doggie & making it a stress free time away.”

About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).
“Great as always. Jaxson loves it there and always comes back home tired. Kevin's dogs Sly and Sage also play very well and Kevin is great about sending pictures and videos.”
“Excellent service is all I gotta say!! This was my dogs first time ever staying overnight with anyone besides her owners and she did really good, she doesn't like other animals so she had her own separate space! They kept me updated every few hours or so with videos and pictures, I will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“Emily did an exceptional job taking care of Spartacus! From the moment I entrusted her with our dog, I knew I made the right decision. Emily demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and dedication throughout the entire dog sitting experience. She showed genuine care and affection towards our dog, ensuring his well-being and happiness at all times. I was impressed by her attention to detail and ability to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our pet. Communication was seamless and prompt, with regular updates and photos that reassured me of our dog’s contentment. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Her exceptional service and genuine love for animals makes her a standout choice. I am grateful for this experience and will undoubtedly seek her services again in the future!”

About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.
“Tiff was more than amazing. I will be booking her from here on at. The environment is very clean and safe. She treated my baby pup with love. She keep me updated it was my first experience getting a sitter. She was beyond amazing. I’m so grateful I found her. ❤️”
“Michaela took care of our 3 year old goldendoodle. He is usually scared of small dogs and I was worried about leaving him with Michaela's pups but he did well. She sent me pictures of him during his stay morning noon and night giving me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend Michaela and we will continue to board our golden doodle with her.”
“Pam did a great job taking care of my pup and gave me daily updates during my trip. I could tell she cared a lot about my pup and accommodated to her needs!”
