Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wakeland
“What a great experience! Kelli and her husband Curtis are the nicest people I've ever met! Check-ins and photos made it clear they really cared for my dog and made her feel at home. The country setting was ideal. My dog Cassie loved it!”
“Destinee was absolutely AMAZING! She sent updates with pictures every day and my boys looked so happy and loved. She also went out of her way to trim one of my boys' nails that I hadn't gotten done yet. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Thank you Sarah! She was great with King and up to the task of dealing with my grumpy old man. She kept me informed and I felt he was in great hands while I was out of town. He eventually started warming up so that’s let me know he felt comfortable.”
“Susan and Kenny are wonderful people!! Our anxious dog was very comfortable staying with them! I would definitely recommend them for anyone needing a pet sitter! We received frequent updates, including pictures and videos. We definitely have a new regular pet sitter!”
“Becky, Hands Down is a great, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. I have a young Italian greyhound, Peach, who is very timid and nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations. Every time I have booked Becky, Peach has been relaxed, taken care of and in good spirits when I pick her up which is important for me. Becky is always easy to get a hold of, she regularly sends updates, including videos and photos of how my dog is doing, and has been so accommodating to a variety of care items (medications, etc) in the past. I have trusted Becky with my dog for multiple stays and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
“Paco was tired after he came home from Tracy’s. He had a great time with his new friends. Tracy and her husband have a great way of helping the dogs acclimate to their new location. Thank you.”
“This was Ruby’s first time being away from us and her first boarding experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Nora has an excellent environment for multiple dogs and Ruby got along with all the dogs and it really helped socialize and grow her confidence. She was very well taken care of and they sent lots of pictures of how much she was enjoying her time there. Thank you Nora!”
“Rachel and her family are the best pet sitter you could ask for! She took excellent care for Ollie when I had to be out of town. He was sick and she prepared a special meal for him. Thank you so much for everything, Rachel! I appreciate you and your family!”
“Emily was great with Rex!! This was the first time we had used a pet sitter, so I was worried about how he would do, she responded quickly to all of my questions during the booking process and assured me he she would take good care of him. She was kind and patient at drop off and kept me up to date with texts while we were gone. We will definitely use Emily again! S”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“I left my dog with Diandra, who's home is clean and organized, her dogs are calm and submissive. My dog Annie, I believe had a great time spending time with them I would not hesitate rebooking with Diandra.”
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”
“Ana was a great host for our dog’s 2 night, 3 day stay!! Very communicative and flexible with our dog’s needs! Her background in fostering dogs definitely shows! Will highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Will definitely be using again! They were so sweet to our pups and kept us updated throughout their stay. They also took our concerns and requests seriously especially with one of our more behavioral dogs. Can’t thank them enough!”
“Emily was wonderful with our two miniature schnauzers. They were both very well cared for, including the administration of insulin for our diabetic dog. She was an excellent communicator before and during their stay. We greatly appreciated her updates while we were away and would not hesitate to book with Emily again.”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”

“What a wonderful experience! Mary Jane and her partner were responsive, kind, accommodating, and took incredible care of our dog. Communication was excellent and we received daily updates and pictures. Our dog was clearly happy, comfortable and worn out from their loving care. They will be our first choice every time!”

“Cali's care for our cats means the world to me. She is actually one of the only people outside my immediate family that one of my cats comes out for. Not just comes out- but is excited to see. It's clear she really loves kitties and is just as excited as we are about the cute biscuit making/purring things they do. All of our cats love her so much, they don't even look sad while we are gone. She is timely and always takes care of the house as well.”
About: I am currently a foster parent for Elio, a 2 year old American Shorthair.

I love to play with cats, pet them, and cuddle!!
About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation.

“Fantastic and incredibly accommodating. Leah did a wonderful job taking care of all of my buddies. She isn’t afraid to ask questions and made sure that all my buddies were thriving.”
About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings. I have most weekdays off of work and am always available for a morning check-in for your pet. I am able to move pets between rooms and crate animals if needed in your home. I do not host pets for boarding at my own home.
“I liked Hannah from the moment I met her. She was punctual and our cat Jasmine seemed very content on our arrival home. I would absolutely trust her with your fur babies!?”
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Trish arrives on time and pays special attention to her ward. Libby is happy when I return home and I am comforted by knowing I can depend on Trish to show up and take amazing care of my baby.”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets when you are not able to. I myself have grown up with dogs my whole life and would pet sit my neighbors animals all the time. Now, I have my own little zoo of 2 dogs, 3 cats, and some geckos. I spent one year in a vet tech program so i know the basics of animal medicine, 6 months taking care of the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology. I understand it is hard to leave your pets unattended for hours on end and stressful when you come home to an accident but they can't help it. I want to help alleviate that stress for you and your pet by giving them the best care possible. I can only provide check-ins and walking services. I am looking for some supplemental income to help support my little family. I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old but have recently gotten a full time job in the Bloomington area. I am available during early evening hours and weekends. They are family so they get treated with respect and love and I will treat yours like I treat mine to make sure they are happy and living their best life.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wakeland
“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”
About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.
About: I have had dogs for the past 40 years and cannot imagine my house without them. I have one dog currently, Toby. He is a very sweet boy who loves all dogs and people. I would love to pamper your fur baby! I am retired and have all day to take care of your special fur baby. I would love to play with your dog and make them feel special. I have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence, and also a doggy door, so your pooch is able to go out and in as they wish. My dog, Toby, is very social and friendly so your baby will have a playmate.
“Tracy has been so patient and kind with our pup. CC is a shy but goofy little girl and we worried about finding someone who would wait for her to adjust to their home. Tracy has been so good with her and we just love knowing she is safe and cared for while we are away.”
About: As a retired teacher, I’ve spent my life nurturing, encouraging, and caring for others, and that same patience and dedication extend to every dog I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience building trust and creating positive relationships, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pet is receiving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle care. I look forward to treating your dog like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I am available to watch your dog for you if you need a short-term doggy daycare option or someone reliable to care for your furry family member while you’re on vacation for several days. I have a fenced-in yard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. We will have regular yard playtime and potty breaks, every 2-4 hours during the day. I am also happy to come walk your dog for you if you prefer that.
“Augie had a wonderful time with Mary Jane and family. This was the first time we left Augie with anyone; Mary Jane made us feel reassured and calm. We had a terrific get away and Augie had a great day! Thank you, Janine & Bruce”
“Our dog loves Brianna and Ali so much! He would get so excited every morning when he saw them. She is very reliable and great at communicating. I would highly recommend!”
“As always, Hank had the best time at Emily’s house today.. She’s THE BEST sitter in town and treats Hank as if he was part of the family!! Thank you SOO much Emily! 🌟🏆”
About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was a young child. Every pet I’ve ever had the pleasure of loving has been in my life from the time they came home until they passed. My mom taught me at a young age that a pet was a lifelong relationship and responsibility and I took that very seriously! I believe that God put me on this planet to care for animals and be a mom. My children are grown and out of the house now so I have 4 dogs (Midas-9, Atlas-6, Echo-5 and Zuko-3.5) and 2 kitties (Boston-12 and Angel 1.5) and I would really like to help you care for your fur babies when you can’t do it. I promise to follow your instructions so your fur babies will get the best experience possible! I am in phlebotomy and patient care in my career but I plan to be a part of a rescue or sanctuary when I retire. I will continue to volunteer at the shelter as often as possible until then. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I am available for house sitting on weekends and some days I would be available to do daycare at my home. I have a fenced in yard and 4 small to medium sized dogs of my own that love to socialize! I have a fully fenced in backyard and 4 social dogs to keep your dog company, as well as a cat that enjoys being involved in the activities inside.
“Janet saved the day! My husband and I were staying at a Home2 Suites locally for a couple nights with Stella and Jäger as we are moving from Ohio. The dogs struggled in the hotel and we were told that they could not stay alone as they cried and whined while we were away. I found Janet on Rover late in the evening on Monday and we were able to get daycare booked for the next day while we completed our final walk through and closing on our new house. A huge weight was lifted as we know this move is a big transition for not just Stella and Jäger but also for my husband and I. Janet played with Jäger and Stella and even sent me a picture to help ease my mind. So thankful for her!!”
“Brittany, was wonderful with my little Maggie and her dog Waylon was great with Maggie too!! She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again!”
“Destinee was very responsive from the start. She shared several pictures of Jack during his meet and greet. He had a great time at her house and came home and took a long nap. I feel like he is in great hands with her and her husband!”
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,
About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!
“Fantastic family,love that they love dogs. Diffenately they love to go back with the family. My babies having fun as well as we having fun too.. thank you very much for taking care of them Nicole and the fam. The first time for them is great.????”

“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals (including farm) since I was old enough to drive. I was also a vet tech for years!!! I recently quit my job as a preschool teacher, but don't want to be bored. I have all day to fill with your animal cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a big fur baby of my own to keep your baby company and entertained. The more the merrier.
About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
About: I've never worked for a company like Rover but I've watched many people's pets, mainly friends of the family. My household has two dogs and 3 cats, two of the cats are kittens. I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company. I also have a pin for my dog if for some reason they don't get along. Also a cat poll in my house for those who need cats watched.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household.

I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure every pup gets the attention they deserve. I also regularly care for family members’ dogs while they’re away on vacation, giving me experience keeping pets comfortable in their own homes and sticking to their normal routines. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands! Hooray for flexibility!! 🎉 my part time job (20 hours or less) gives me a lot of flexibility to shower your furry friend with attention! Just tell me what you need!

“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She handled our three crazy beagles flawlessly and they absolutely adore her! We will definitely be asking Hannah to help us with our babies weekly while we are at work. Also very relieved to have found someone that we trust to watch our dogs when we are out of town. If you’re thinking about booking with Hannah, definitely do it.”
About: I love bonding and interacting with the families and their pets. I love the enjoyment of animals and giving them extra love while their owners are away! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I'm able to stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feedings, and check-ins when needed. Before and after work, I dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give your pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. I can't currently have animals stay in my home. But depending on what the client is looking for, I can drop by their home and visit or stay with that animal if need be.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.

I expect to have more time this summer after I graduate as well! I can do check-ins on your pets, feed as needed, take them on walks, and spend a little time with them to help break up their day.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. Neighbors, family members, and friends have counted on me to take care of them such as feeding, bathing, walking, etc. I have 3 animals that I care for 24/7 and I am currently in college as a vet tech and work with exotic animals at Indianapolis Zoo so I work with animals around the clock! I give walks for about 2-3 hours and feeding time in between. I bath the dog if necessary and will do whatever it takes to make your dog or cat feel happy and comfortable. I have a lovely golden doodle named bear that is a sweetheart to all dogs and a loving family that loves and takes care of yours. If your dog needs to be crated, let me ahead of time and I will see to it that your dog is happy and safe. I have two cats as well named Satoshi and Jackie who are loving with all animals as well. All the animals are fixed so no worries there! I can also take care of exotic pets as well since I have the experience so please feel free to reach out!

“Destinee was absolutely AMAZING! She sent updates with pictures every day and my boys looked so happy and loved. She also went out of her way to trim one of my boys' nails that I hadn't gotten done yet. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Susan and Kenny are wonderful people!! Our anxious dog was very comfortable staying with them! I would definitely recommend them for anyone needing a pet sitter! We received frequent updates, including pictures and videos. We definitely have a new regular pet sitter!”
“Becky, Hands Down is a great, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. I have a young Italian greyhound, Peach, who is very timid and nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations. Every time I have booked Becky, Peach has been relaxed, taken care of and in good spirits when I pick her up which is important for me. Becky is always easy to get a hold of, she regularly sends updates, including videos and photos of how my dog is doing, and has been so accommodating to a variety of care items (medications, etc) in the past. I have trusted Becky with my dog for multiple stays and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
“Paco was tired after he came home from Tracy’s. He had a great time with his new friends. Tracy and her husband have a great way of helping the dogs acclimate to their new location. Thank you.”
“This was Ruby’s first time being away from us and her first boarding experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Nora has an excellent environment for multiple dogs and Ruby got along with all the dogs and it really helped socialize and grow her confidence. She was very well taken care of and they sent lots of pictures of how much she was enjoying her time there. Thank you Nora!”
“Rachel and her family are the best pet sitter you could ask for! She took excellent care for Ollie when I had to be out of town. He was sick and she prepared a special meal for him. Thank you so much for everything, Rachel! I appreciate you and your family!”
“Emily was great with Rex!! This was the first time we had used a pet sitter, so I was worried about how he would do, she responded quickly to all of my questions during the booking process and assured me he she would take good care of him. She was kind and patient at drop off and kept me up to date with texts while we were gone. We will definitely use Emily again! S”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“I left my dog with Diandra, who's home is clean and organized, her dogs are calm and submissive. My dog Annie, I believe had a great time spending time with them I would not hesitate rebooking with Diandra.”
“Ana was a great host for our dog’s 2 night, 3 day stay!! Very communicative and flexible with our dog’s needs! Her background in fostering dogs definitely shows! Will highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Emily was wonderful with our two miniature schnauzers. They were both very well cared for, including the administration of insulin for our diabetic dog. She was an excellent communicator before and during their stay. We greatly appreciated her updates while we were away and would not hesitate to book with Emily again.”

“My dogs did fantastic with Nichole! My dogs have issues at meal times, and she made sure my one dog got all her meals! I won’t ever take my girls anywhere else—and will hunt her down and drag her back if she tries to move away! Getting 7-8 pictures every day of my girls playing with the other dogs—they were having so much fun running around, even some on the couch with Nichole getting loving attention. You just aren’t going to get that everywhere. She is the best!”
“Celsei is amazing! She sent me so many photos and videos, as well as many updates. She relieved any anxiety i had about being away from my dogs for a week, i felt so comfortable knowing how well my dogs were being taken care of. I will definitely be boarding with her again”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
