“Christopher (and his son) were the best sitters we’ve ever has. Our dog gets anxious easily and this is the first home we feel at ease knowing she is 100% happy, safe, and cared for. He sends updates and pictures and is very understanding and flexible with scheduling. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Sam was great watching our border collie puppy, Kya. Sam was accommodating when our airline changed our flight as well. Kya came home happy and healthy. Sam and her family, including their dog, all seemed easy going which helped with our dog. I’d definitely recommend Sam for boarding your dog.”
“Brook graciously agreed to watch our very lively 6-month/old standard poodle for 5 days. He had a great time with her and her 2 dogs. She was confident and competent, communication was good and we didn't worry at all.”
“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”
“Miss Mary is super awesome. We felt bad for leaving our baby girl behind but she made it all better. My girl loves her and so do we. We both feel so comfortable at her place. The best part is knowing my girl is in good hands and being love. Highly recommend miss Mary to anyone who needs a someone loves animals.”
“The CatMother and DogFather are amazing! My girls came home and slept for about 24 hours to recoup from all of the fun they had! I will definitely use them again soon and am so happy I have found a trusted sitter for my fur babies! Thank you so much!!”
“We would use Destinee again in a heartbeat! Teddy had so much fun and was so cared for. We really enjoyed getting pictures while we were away. We would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Where do we even start? The experience with Brooke was nothing short of amazing. Our Golden Retriever had a terrible time at a kennel in the past, which he clearly did not enjoy. For our next vacation, we chose Brooke and Bryan, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They sent us daily updates complete with photos, were highly responsive during the booking process, and, most importantly, it was evident that our dog was well looked after. He returned home clean, calm, and even seemed a bit disappointed to leave! We can't recommend Brooke and Bryan highly enough.”
“Nicole took our dog very last minute and was so flexible with our timing. Her family took our dog into their home and treated him as their own! She is our go to when we need someone to watch our dog! We love the daily communication and pictures/videos she sends! We will be booking with her again soon!”
“Arya loved staying with Britny and Seth. I received regular pictures and updates throughout the stay. I will definitely be bringing Arya back to stay in the future!”
“Shelby was amazing with our girl!! VERY communicative, and treated Bea like she was one of their own. We’re looking forward to booking with Shelby again here very soon; couldn’t recommend more!!”
“Rachel loves dogs and treats each doggy as her own. Her kids also help play with the puppies. I received constant updates, photos and videos. Cici was having so much fun. I was worried that she might not want to come home. Cici got a small scratch on her nose. Nothing to worry about. Probably just the result of dog play. Rachel always had other dogs at her house, which is a good thing because Cici had lots of playmates. But dog play can be kind of rough sometimes. Just dogs being dogs.”
“Sheila K. did a wonderful job watching our dogs at her home. One of our dogs is "special needs due to medical problems", and she accommodated her needs perfectly. Sheila would send pictures daily of our dogs, and I could tell that both dogs felt at home at Sheila's home. They also enjoyed spending time in her backyard.”
“Monica was very kind to take my last minute booking before meeting with us. She sent us reassuring messages and pics while we were gone. Her little dog Kimmie is very sweet too. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her and was sure she got lots of love and attention.”
“Tosha and her family were a great fit for our picky, middle-aged dog. She had a good time and we got several pictures. Tosha was also very flexible about our drop-off and pick-up times.”
“Yelena immediately started sending pictures and updates on my pooches and continuously sent them throughout their stay. My one dog was having allergy issues affecting his paws and she was able to wipe them down and correct some marking behaviors he was displaying. They seem to get a lot of time outdoors and were able to roam about inside and could choose to go into crates. When my travel plans were delayed, she was quite accommodating and I really appreciate that.”
“Karen was wonderful with our pups. She is very kind and adaptable. Her home is perfect for dogs, including the beautiful large fenced-in yard with lots of grass (and squirrels and birds for the pups to chase). Would highly recommend!”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”

“Nicole took great care of our senior cat while we were away for 3 weeks. She kept us updated and sent lots of pics. Will definitely book her for future drop in visits!”
About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.
“Krissy did a fantastic job with our sweet Grayson. She was very attentive, sent us pics each day and even brought up a concern about Grayson not using the litter box. I would highly recommend her to anyone with pets, especially cats as I am biased in that way. We will use her again and again and again.”
“Catherine was great!! She is communicative and reliable. She was very flexible with coordinating drop-in visits for our two dogs. Will rebook with Catherine next time!”
“I hired Kari for two drop in visits. She first came to my house to meet me and my cats, Kari is professional, friendly, detailed, instantly took to my cats, I feel like she is a friend after she left, I felt comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She did an excellent job! Sent me an update and pictures every time she visited. Highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future.”
“Grace was so great with both my doggies! Especially with my senior dog ❤️ keeping me updated on her stools, providing bland food for her upset stomach, along with treats for both dogs and letting me know about any changes! It was super appreciated and we will most definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“I'm glad I chose Janis to take care of my Brick while I was gone. She gave me a sense of comfort and security taking care of my little guy. I appreciate her communicating daily information regarding her visits. She was wonderful and believe my little guy enjoyed her as well. Will definitely call her again if needed. Thank you so much Janis.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats be it my own, family, or friends since I was a teenager. I adore cats, and have experience administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, even taking cats for car rides (if they enjoy that)! You would be doing me a favor by letting me hangout with your kitties!
“Samantha was so great! She was very prompt and communicated super well about my kitty. She sent great pictures and videos and took care of him super well:) would definitely recommend her for all your pet needs!”
About: I have 5 years of cat drop in service experience. When my sister travels, I typically spend the weekend with her cats. I will feed the inside and outside cats, provide water, brush them, play, etc.
“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kayla, and I am in Lawrence, Indiana. I have 1 Australian shepherd named Moose. I am currently offering dog walks, and in home dog/ cat checks. A little about my background: I have worked with a few different rescues, I have fostered dozens of animals. One of them being a burn victim that needed 2 oral medications daily, another being a new amputee, along with tube feeding, etc etc. I find the most stressful part of planning trips, is finding someone you can trust with your pets and knowing they will be safe and getting regular updates. I would love to be that person for you. I currently work Monday - Friday 6:00-2:30 in Lawrence. I am free for pet care any time aside from those specific hours. If I am not at work, I am at home! I will do exactly as the owner needs. If the pet is used to certain routines, that is no problem. I add cat box cleaning free for 2+ days consecutive of drop ins.
About: I have been sitting for my grandparents for about two years. I was lucky enough to care for their senior and work with his health problems. I specialize in cleaning up untimely dinner regurgitation as well as warding off obese cats from stealing their sibling's food.
About: IVDD experienced dachshund mom with hands on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a part time job and flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm and structured care that closely follow a dog's existing routine. I do use crate training with positive reinforcement when I have to leave the house. I offer IVDD safe handling, walks, interactive play, and will send you 2 updates per day with photos while you're away.
About: I’ve literally ALWAYS had a cat in my life, so I’m basically part cat. A true cat whisperer. I’m currently a proud cat mom of one. I’ve also lovingly cared for a sick kitty of my own who required daily medications for almost 5 years. Because of that, I’m completely comfortable administering meds & handling specific medical routines with zero stress. I also love traveling myself, so I know exactly how nerve wracking it is to leave your babies behind. Whether your cat is super high energy & wants to play, or they're shy & just need someone patient to give them space, keep the litter box clean & food bowl FULL! I’m here to make sure they feel totally safe, happy, & loved while you’re away.

“Deborah and Jeffrey are warm and they genuinely love dogs. I’ve booked doggy day care with them for my dog several times now. They’re very good at communication and taking care of my fur baby as their own. I highly recommend them!”
“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and more since I was a child. I love fur babies and will give your baby the love and care he/she needs when you are away. I am home and can give the attention and care your pet needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in a walk, potty time or play time. I stay outside with my dog and cats while they play in the yard and on the large patio. Inside we all hang out together in the large living area, but I also have another room with a gate where a pet can go if she needs some space. I can have your dog sleep in the crate or outside the crate, whichever makes her the most comfortable and happy.
About: I’m a dog dad myself and have a love for all kinds of pets. Anywhere I go, dogs get pets and greetings before the humans 😅 I have experience with more high needs dogs, as my own dog has digestive issues and requires prescription food, daily medication by mouth with each meal, and monthly injections. I have also dog sat for family friends for many years, giving me experience with insulin injections and specialized feeding schedules. My parents have 3 cats and I’ve spent many weekends taking care of their babies while they’re traveling. My availability is very flexible! During the holidays, I’m available for drop ins and dog walks for anyone traveling for the holidays! During my normal work week, I can easily schedule my days to accommodate dog walks or drop ins to let your furry family members out to potty while you’re away! Weekends are completely open as well! I live in a house with my dog. We have a big grassy yard (unfenced) and plenty of indoor space to play as well! My neighborhood has a nature park and a paved trail for walks. I’m open to watching pets in my home and I can easily come check on yours when you’re away!

“Kody had a great day with Cyndi. You can tell she has a big heart for dogs she cares for. She gave us an update and we didn't worry at all about him. We'd book with Cyndi again if traveling through.”

Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”

About: My life has included cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, chickens and fish. All have treated and cared for them just as my children have been. They are important parts of a family. My experiences caring for pets has also extended out to friends and family. My one friend has 18 animals. Four dogs and 14 cats. I know them all by name and I know each intricate need they have. My friend has actually said she would not go on vacation if I could not take care of her animals. I am honored that she has such faith in me. I have also taken care of a friends pair of great Danes. She informed me I was welcome to stay in their king bed however that was where the dog slept also. I slept on the couch. You know the animals come first. I would give your pet the same love and affection I give my own. And every pet is different so it is important to get to know them. I look forward to taking care of your loved one. I work part time so there is plenty of time for your fur baby. I can be flexible with time of day and days of the week. Caring for your baby in their own home keeps you’re being away easier for them. I would love to meet your pet ahead of time so that they can see me as someone trusting And friendly.
About: I have always had a pet, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I love animals and realize the difficulty in leaving your animal babies with someone you trust while you are gone. I take that responsibility very seriously. I recently retired and would like to include in my day, caring for animals whose owners need help when they are gone from the home. I have a fenced yard, and an easy going home environment. I also have two older dogs, 4 indoor kitties, with a total of six cats. They are all pretty laid back.
“Grace was amazing! I rescued a dog that has been very timid,scared,ready to bite. She worked with her on their walks twice each day and even at my hotel room when Indy didn’t want to leave her space, Grace stayed and comforted Indy every day and built a trust and relationship with Indy. and within a few days was able to build a trust with Indy who obviously has had minimal human contact or care,zero training, was left to roam and survive alone,trauma from being left alone in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, obviously scared of being the great dog that she is. But Grace helped Indy across a bridge that most people wouldn’t have tried to do. Not only is Grace a great dog walker, she’s a dog lover.. Great to work with, I have n zero complaints and a list of things she did outside of her walks that I should compliment her for that she did out of the kindness of her heart for Indy! Amazing person to have with your pet”
“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover and was lucky enough to grow up with lots of pets from rodents to dogs to horses. I've walked big (150lb+) dogs, small dogs, and everything in between with no issues. Until I was 15 years old, my dad had my siblings and I convinced he was allergic to cats because he didn't want us asking to get one. Jokes on him that the majority of us are now cat parents. While I've had my menace of a cat (I love her to pieces even though she's turning my hair as gray as hers) for only a few years, I've still been around cats throughout my life and am attuned to their particular brand of affection. I have experience pet-sitting from bunnies to a pack of seven high energy dogs. If you're looking for a non-dog or cat sitter, give me a shot! I'm very determined to give pets the best care possible, and if I'm unsure of any instructions will not hesitate to ask for clarification no matter how menial the task may appear. No animal's needs are too particular or niche for me. Must walk counterclockwise around the block? Easy. Food must be microwaved for 12 seconds, but stop it with one second on the clock? No problem. Got to pretend their medicine is human food that was "accidentally" spilled on the floor and I need to "rush" to pick it up before Fido gets it? Done. My availability leans more towards the morning or evening, but I'm happy to work with you to best fit your care requirements. I do my best to keep my calendar updated, especially for weekends, but if you're wondering if I'm available please don't hesitate to ask! No amount of instructions are too much for me! I once left three hand written pages of notes on how to care for my hamster. I will follow them to the letter, and not hesitate to ask if I have any questions. Ensuring your family member is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their home is my number one priority.
About: I've had dogs since I was born and throughout my entire life. I've had puppies, senior dogs, and all big dogs! I've been sitting for neighbors and friends for years, too. I love to play inside or outside. My specialty is cuddling the love bugs. I'm currently working a very flexible part time job and I have a reliable vehicle, so pet care fits very easily into my day! I keep a close eye on all the pets (mostly because I'm trying to get them to hang out with me). I set reminders and have notes to keep on top of things and never forget a step! I am very attentive to my surroundings when I am sitting so I can keep the love bugs safe and comfortable.
About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
About: Hi! I’m Hope, a dedicated animal lover based in Greenfield, IN 🐾 I’ve had dogs my entire life and have worked with them professionally for the past 6 years. I also spent nearly 2 years working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to include a short walk during visits if time allows or provide dedicated walks as needed. I work full-time during the day, so I’m available for consistent morning and evening visits with the potential for mid day. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with larger dogs and always aim to treat every pet like my own. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. I’d love to set up a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for you and your pet 🤍 I work full time Monday- Friday 7:30-3:30. I am mostly available Friday-Sunday but will be available for potty breaks throughout the week day as well. I currently have three dogs. I have a Labrador, Golden Retriever, and a Beagle. I am used to big dogs so I will have no problem handling those big pups of yours.
About: Aside from caring for my own animals, I have dog and cat sat for friends and family in the past. I'm a huge animal advocate and lover, so much so that I am a vegetarian and have issues with the way animals are treated from slaughter houses, to puppy mills. Animals are truly my best friends and I can't think of anything I would enjoy more than taking care of others and the bonus is getting paid for it. I have had pets since I was small and taking care of animals brings me a lot of joy and comfort in my life and its what I prefer. What better way to make money than by doing what you love most. I enjoy walking daily so bring a special little fur buddy along would be a huge plus. I’m dog sitting full time on most days. Have retired and am now doing what I enjoy the most. Please contact me anytime day or night. Your pet is very safe in my home. Fenced in back yard and dog friendly inside through and through. My dogs are older and get along with all dogs.

I provide loving care for dogs, cats, and home sitting, and I truly treat every pet like family. 🐾 I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for both your pets and your home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion nearby, I adjust to their personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter care, walks, overnight stays, and keeping pets on their normal routines.

My goal is for you to come home to happy pets and peace of mind! 🏡🐶🐱 Pet care is already part of my everyday life since I have 3 cats of my own. Feeding, cleaning, and spending time with them is just what I do daily. I plan my schedule so I’m not rushing from place to place—I like to actually spend time with each pet so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also keep things flexible so I can be reliable for different visit times. I treat every visit like I’m caring for my own pets—not just checking a box. I focus on keeping your cat’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits, I provide: ✔ Feeding & fresh water ✔ Litter box cleaning ✔ Playtime or quiet companionship ✔ Monitoring behavior & well-being ✔ Updates and photos after every visit I don’t just stop in—I spend quality time so your cat feels comfortable and not alone.
About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.
About: Safety, communication, and exceptional care—every single time. With years of hands-on pet-care experience, I’m committed to providing reliable, responsible service you can trust. I’m attentive to routines, meds, feeding schedules, and special needs. Your pet stays comfortable and your home stays tidy—just the way you left it. Clear updates, lots of love, zero stress. I am currently a stay at home mom and work part time from home. My schedule is flexible so I can be available as needed. At this time, I will only be offering care in your home. I do have a senior dog that is not friends with everyone. If your fur baby needs a play date, I can bring my 4 year old Australian shepherd who loves to run and play.
About: Hi - I’m Kellis! I have been in education for 10+ years and I also love to take care of pets! I grew up with 2 labs from puppies to adulthood and there is nothing better! I have 2 cats and a border collie now, so I can officially say I am a dog AND cat lover! I would love to walk, pet sit or house sit to take care of your fur baby! I will send frequent photos during my visit/walk and keep you updated with how your pet is doing. Whatever your pet's needs are, I am happy to accommodate! Your pet will be in good, loving hands, and I will enjoy hanging out with your baby! My schedule is pretty flexible so I would be able to help at scheduled times during the day. I also like to refinish furniture on the side, so taking care of your furry babies is usually not a scheduling conflict. I will make sure I follow all instructions you provide about your animal(s). I am responsible and happy to do whatever is necessary for your pet.
About: I have lots of experience in pets from birthing to seniors! I’ve done plenty of puppy training and I’ve worked with animals my entire life! Hello! I work full time during the week 8:15-4:30 and I do Rover on the side to help pay for my college! I have much more free time on the weekends but if you book for weekdays I’ll make sure your babies get the love and care they need! In my home I always make sure that my pets needs come first, if I notice a behavior I always try to find the root of it before making changes.
“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”

“Brook graciously agreed to watch our very lively 6-month/old standard poodle for 5 days. He had a great time with her and her 2 dogs. She was confident and competent, communication was good and we didn't worry at all.”
“Miss Mary is super awesome. We felt bad for leaving our baby girl behind but she made it all better. My girl loves her and so do we. We both feel so comfortable at her place. The best part is knowing my girl is in good hands and being love. Highly recommend miss Mary to anyone who needs a someone loves animals.”
“The CatMother and DogFather are amazing! My girls came home and slept for about 24 hours to recoup from all of the fun they had! I will definitely use them again soon and am so happy I have found a trusted sitter for my fur babies! Thank you so much!!”
“We would use Destinee again in a heartbeat! Teddy had so much fun and was so cared for. We really enjoyed getting pictures while we were away. We would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Where do we even start? The experience with Brooke was nothing short of amazing. Our Golden Retriever had a terrible time at a kennel in the past, which he clearly did not enjoy. For our next vacation, we chose Brooke and Bryan, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They sent us daily updates complete with photos, were highly responsive during the booking process, and, most importantly, it was evident that our dog was well looked after. He returned home clean, calm, and even seemed a bit disappointed to leave! We can't recommend Brooke and Bryan highly enough.”
“Nicole took our dog very last minute and was so flexible with our timing. Her family took our dog into their home and treated him as their own! She is our go to when we need someone to watch our dog! We love the daily communication and pictures/videos she sends! We will be booking with her again soon!”
“Arya loved staying with Britny and Seth. I received regular pictures and updates throughout the stay. I will definitely be bringing Arya back to stay in the future!”
“Shelby was amazing with our girl!! VERY communicative, and treated Bea like she was one of their own. We’re looking forward to booking with Shelby again here very soon; couldn’t recommend more!!”
“Rachel loves dogs and treats each doggy as her own. Her kids also help play with the puppies. I received constant updates, photos and videos. Cici was having so much fun. I was worried that she might not want to come home. Cici got a small scratch on her nose. Nothing to worry about. Probably just the result of dog play. Rachel always had other dogs at her house, which is a good thing because Cici had lots of playmates. But dog play can be kind of rough sometimes. Just dogs being dogs.”
“Tosha and her family were a great fit for our picky, middle-aged dog. She had a good time and we got several pictures. Tosha was also very flexible about our drop-off and pick-up times.”
“Yelena immediately started sending pictures and updates on my pooches and continuously sent them throughout their stay. My one dog was having allergy issues affecting his paws and she was able to wipe them down and correct some marking behaviors he was displaying. They seem to get a lot of time outdoors and were able to roam about inside and could choose to go into crates. When my travel plans were delayed, she was quite accommodating and I really appreciate that.”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”
“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates. Willow was obviously very happy in the videos and photos throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Rubal's AMAZING services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring individual. It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”
“Celestial was amazing with my pup! She did such a great job and kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. She really went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Candie took great care of Maisie - and put our minds at ease through the holiday. Her pup is a charming and gentle guy, and they got along very well. We will be back!”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Having two elderly furry babies makes going on a trip a truly difficult decision. We're so lucy to found this warm and loving family take really good care of them. They send us messages and photos every few days to let us know how our babies are doing, which really puts our minds at ease. Michael & Jessica are gentle and attentive, and their children are also sweet angels who love to spend time with our precious babies.”
