“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Beth was so nice and absolutely wonderful! I love that she likes to meet the dogs ahead of time to make sure they are a right fit for her and her adorable sweet dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates and will definitely book again with her!”
“Basil had a great time staying with Elizabeth and Phillip. The care was top notch, and I was kept up to date through texts and pics. I can always tell when Basil has a good stay experience because she comes home and is chill. Thank you!”
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
“Angela and Stephen really came through for us! We had to take a trip with only about 15 hrs notice and they were able to take care Frankee so we could go pick up our sick girl from camp without worry. Definitely recommend and will use them again!”
“Such a sweet family!! Our dogs were well loved at Alexis and Daniel’s! Their kiddos were so kind to look after our pups too. We will definitely be booking them every time we’re in town. ?”
“Megan took great care of my dog and was great about sharing pictures and letting me know he was doing good while I was out of town. Sounded like he got along great with her dog as well. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to look after your dog.”
About: Walks.Play.Snuggle.Repeat. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and treat them with the love and care I would any family member. My early work experience was in vet clinics and animal rescues. I'm a proud mama to 2 small, well socialized, friendly dogs and 3 cats . All of the animals are great with new dog friends. We would love to give you some peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of while you are away. I work from home and the dogs have beds and toys in my office and all over my large house. We are located in Clarksville, just off the I 65 Eastern Blvd exit. I live on a double lot with a huge, fully fenced yard. Small dogs have doggie door access to come in and out as they please. Bigger dogs will be regularly let out for supervised play and potty breaks in the yard. All have a lovely sunroom to sit and watch the birds and squirrels that frequent my feeders. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats dietary needs, medication administration. Looking forward to being your dog's home away from home! I work from home on a flexible schedule so I am able to check on and interact with the dogs frequently. They will be supervised during outside play.

“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”
“Kaitlyn was so amazing with Rufus! She was incredibly communicative the entire time and flexible with our late evening pickup. Rufus LOVES his toys and fell in love with several that were in her own inventory basket. He had the best time on the patio looking at the squirrels and enjoying the beautiful weather. I would highly recommend booking her for your pup! She was the best! Thank you so much!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Missy and sent pictures to let me know how she was doing. My sweet Missy came home worn out which lets me know she had fun. Thank you, Sarah!!!”
About: Dogs have always been family in my home, and that’s exactly how I treat every pup who stays here. My name is Keith and I share a home with my wife, Natalie; our 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound, Bernie, and our 6-year-old daughter, who has grown up loving and being around dogs. The home has a large, fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, or just lounge outside. Inside, the home is completely dog-friendly—couches, furniture, snuggles and all! I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family rather than being boarded. One of the biggest benefits of staying here is that someone is almost always home. I work from home 90% of the time and the whole family is home on the weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They won’t spend their stay sitting alone for hours. Having an Irish Wolfhound has also given me plenty of experience with large and giant breeds, but I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included while they’re here. And of course, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see what your pup is up to! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home majority of the time, so someone is almost always here. This means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and cuddles throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding and love having an extra furry family member around! The home has a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Bernie who is very much part of our family. We have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and understands how to be gentle and respectful with them. The home is very dog-friendly—pups are welcome on the furniture, encouraged to get comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re here. I am also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, crate, or exercise routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
About: We had a dog for 17 years that passed away earlier this year at the age of 19 (able to care for a senior dog). He was adopted from Southern Indiana Animal Rescue. My son was in 3rd grade when we adopted him so we taught him how to take care of a pet. *Large fenced in backyard *Someone is always home *Dog walking included *One or more dogs from same family only at one time *Your pet(s) is priority Available weekdays and weekends. There is always someone at home that can let the dogs out. Walks after I get home from work in neighborhood or park. No other pets in the house currently. Only one family's dog(s)s at a time, no need to worry about them getting along with other pets. Your pet will be my top priority.
“Shelby has a love for dogs where you need not worry about your fur-baby in her care. She opened her home and her heart to our little dog. The pictures she sent during our away time, let us know that JoJo was content and happy. Administering his medication was no problem for Shelby. As an added bonus, she had washed his bowls and laundered his blanket and packed ready for pickup. We sincerely recommend Shelby’s home for your dog’s vacation while you are away!”
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”

“Penny did an exceptional job caring for our two cats during our 2.5‑week international trip. She was reliable, easy to reach, and provided daily messages with photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We had a minor hiccup with our automated litter box being unplugged before we left (100% our fault), and Penny helped us resolve it quickly and smoothly. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned, which speaks to the attentive care she provided. Thank you so much, Penny!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Binx while I was gone!! All of the photos and updates made me were incredible and a great relief to know he was in good hands :)”

“Missy was wonderful! This was my first Rover experience and I was very nervous with my cats needing medication twice daily but Missy was on time and great with communicating. I really appreciated the cute pictures she sent with each visit and I would definitely schedule with her again!”
“I was so happy to be able to book Donai again. Second time’s a charm! I knew my cats were in great hands, and I always loved seeing the Rover reports and pictures while I was enjoying my trip. Thanks for your flexibility and your clear communication!”
About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cats. I was nervous about leaving them but was able to enjoy my trip without worrying, thanks to Debbie. She gave daily updates and was very kind and accommodating in our interactions. I highly recommend Debbie and am looking forward to working with her again for our future trips!”
About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for)
“Jen took great care of my cat, Callie, while I was away. The regular updates and pictures she sent me made it much easier for me to enjoy my trip without worrying about Callie’s wellbeing. Would definitely recommend booking Jen!”

“Eleanor watched my kitty while I was away and she was amazing!!! Always communicated what was going on and sent me pictures each day to update me! I will rebook her anytime I need a pet sitter, I highly recommend working with her! 😊”

“Jenniffer went above and beyond to make sure that Zoey was well cared for and had time to enjoy outside and take care of business :) She had great contact with us throughout the weekend and allowed us to enjoy our family get away knowing that Zoey was in GREAT hands - highly recommend Jenniffer !!!”
About: My passion for caring for animals started at a young age. I spent many hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well as having the privilege of caring for my own pets at home. Growing up, I raised reptiles, fish, dogs, cats and hamsters….to name a few! In addition to being a down-to-earth, compassionate human, my friends would say I am trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furbabies (we can probably just call them children at this point, right) :) I am a very active person and enjoy walking, hiking and spending as much time outdoors as possible. My schedule is very flexible which would allow me work around yours! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend!

“We are from out of town, in Indiana for a short time. We received a last minute invite to go to Churchill downs - Elizabeth accepted our request to puppy sit... and our pupp had the best day! We received pictures and videos of her playing and living her best life. We felt totally at ease and relaxed knowing our little Willi was in great hands.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals all my life. Most recently I began regularly fostering dogs with LMAS. I have fostered over a dozen dogs of all ages but I specialize with puppies. I focus on house and crate training with puppies and I enjoy multiple daily walks through my neighborhood park. I currently work from home from 9-5 and I am free on weekends. In my spare time I enjoy running and riding my bike. I believe in the more the merrier so if your pup is up to join I'm all for it! My home has a moderately sized fenced in backyard and a screened in patio that is very popular with my foster puppies. I enjoy house and crate training and I have had a lot of success through threshold training. I have a Siberian Husky and a Tabby Cat that get along with each other and they also love making new friends.
About: I have experience fostering for the humane society. I have a German shepherd at home and used to own a Siberian husky. I have fostered both puppies and kittens I work from home full-time so I can give your pet plenty of potty breaks and give them a walk on my lunch if needed I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in. I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.

And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine.

“My dog has been struggling with severe separation anxiety, and meeting Kaylee has given us hope. When I first reached out, she was incredibly kind and eager to help. At our meet and greet, my dog is usually very cautious and nervous around strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly, which immediately made me feel more comfortable. During the visit, she stayed calm when he became anxious, comforted him throughout the visit, and helped him settle while I was away. I really appreciated her communication and the updates she gave me afterward about how he did. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her and seeing how things progress. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a respectful, communicative, and caring pet sitter.”
About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.
“Eleanor did such an amazing job with my husky She was very punctual and handled Freya like a pro!

About: I have experience working with animals for over five years. I grow up with a Labrador retriever all my life. I was also a pet sitter for my friends and family when they went on vacations. In addition, I volunteer at my local animal shelter walking dogs. I love animals with all my heart and soul. They give me such life and their Innocence just brings out the best in me. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own because they are just so precious. I have trained several of my pet sitting jobs your basic skills such as sit, lay, roll over and more. They'll have such a good time with me . Can't wait to meet meet them!
About: Hi! I’m Kisha, and I truly love caring for animals. I have years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including 25 years of cat care and experience raising Persian cats. I’m also comfortable with senior pets, special-needs pets, and administering medications. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, quiet window time, or simply having someone nearby, I adjust my care to fit their personality. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for like one of my own. I work a full-time schedule, but I’m able to provide reliable care before work, during lunch when needed, after work, evenings, and weekends. For boarding pets, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable routine with plenty of attention and care while they’re staying with me. I provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs and normal routine. My home has security cameras throughout the property, and dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept securely leashed in my unfenced yard. I have plenty of sunny windows and quiet spaces for cats to relax, and visiting pets can be separated when needed for their comfort and safety. I take introductions slowly and carefully, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, caring for all kinds of breeds from small lap dogs to larger, more energetic pups so I’m comfortable meeting the needs of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or mood so I can adjust my care to what your dog needs in the moment. My family and friends often ask me first to watch their dogs because they know I will take care of both their pets and their home as if they were my own. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing attention and reassurance. I follow any instructions you provide to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent weekday schedule (8am-5pm), but I make time for pet care before and after work, and can do a midday check-in during my lunch break with a little advance notice. Your pet will still get regular attention, care, and company throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I always make it a priority to respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is and I do my best to keep things calm and familiar while you’re away. I’m very mindful about things like securely locking doors, keeping a clean environment, and making sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very respectful of your home and will always leave things as I found them. I pay close attention to details and will follow any instructions you provide, whether that’s feeding routines, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I will also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. At this time, I offer care in clients’ homes only, which allows pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment.
“It was a pleasure to work with Ryan. There was always great communication. He sent us photos and followed our care plan exactly as discussed. We appreciate Ryan and will definitely ask him to walk our dog again.”
“Ryan is the most reliable, communicative, and helpful dog Walker and sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He took care of my dog like she was his own, and always gave me prompt and detailed updates. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Ryan is absolutely the best!!!”
“Reanna has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too. It's great to have someone I can trust help my dog get some energy out while I'm at work. I highly recommend Reanna for dog walking and any other pet care needs!”
About: Hi! I'm Haylie, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I'm based near Florida Ave NE in Washington, D.C., and I proudly serve clients across the DMV including Southeast D.C., Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, NE/SE neighborhoods, and parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. I grew up surrounded by pets especially dogs and was always the one helping walk, feed, bathe, and care for them. I’ve even assisted dogs and cats during births when I was younger, which gave me deep insight into caring for animals at all life stages. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, quiet cuddle time, medication, or just dependable daily visits, I’m here to help with care that’s loving, professional, and tailored to your routine. I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is an important part of my daily life. Living near Florida Ave NE, I’m often out walking dogs in Navy Yard or stopping by for quick visits around Capitol Hill and SE D.C. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it. I love giving pets one-on-one attention and helping busy owners in the DMV feel at ease. I take pet safety and trust seriously, whether caring for pets in your home or mine. I follow all instructions closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and ensure your pet feels comfortable. On walks, I avoid crowded areas and match your dog’s pace. Pets staying with me enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. I provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
About: I’m the person people call when they need someone they can genuinely trust with their pets. I’ve cared for animals for 18 years, and for the past five years I’ve built a loyal group of repeat clients right here in my community. I’m dependable, flexible with last-minute needs, and comfortable with everything from energetic dogs to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept so that every pet receives the time, attention, and individualized care they deserve. I believe quality care means being fully present, never overbooking, and giving each pet the attention they need to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone in your home, so I always communicate clearly, follow your instructions, and treat your space with total respect.

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Beth was so nice and absolutely wonderful! I love that she likes to meet the dogs ahead of time to make sure they are a right fit for her and her adorable sweet dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates and will definitely book again with her!”
“Basil had a great time staying with Elizabeth and Phillip. The care was top notch, and I was kept up to date through texts and pics. I can always tell when Basil has a good stay experience because she comes home and is chill. Thank you!”
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
“Angela and Stephen really came through for us! We had to take a trip with only about 15 hrs notice and they were able to take care Frankee so we could go pick up our sick girl from camp without worry. Definitely recommend and will use them again!”
“Such a sweet family!! Our dogs were well loved at Alexis and Daniel’s! Their kiddos were so kind to look after our pups too. We will definitely be booking them every time we’re in town. ?”

“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”
“Sarah was wonderful with Missy and sent pictures to let me know how she was doing. My sweet Missy came home worn out which lets me know she had fun. Thank you, Sarah!!!”
About: Dogs have always been family in my home, and that’s exactly how I treat every pup who stays here. My name is Keith and I share a home with my wife, Natalie; our 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound, Bernie, and our 6-year-old daughter, who has grown up loving and being around dogs. The home has a large, fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, or just lounge outside. Inside, the home is completely dog-friendly—couches, furniture, snuggles and all! I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family rather than being boarded. One of the biggest benefits of staying here is that someone is almost always home. I work from home 90% of the time and the whole family is home on the weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They won’t spend their stay sitting alone for hours. Having an Irish Wolfhound has also given me plenty of experience with large and giant breeds, but I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included while they’re here. And of course, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see what your pup is up to! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home majority of the time, so someone is almost always here. This means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and cuddles throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding and love having an extra furry family member around! The home has a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Bernie who is very much part of our family. We have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and understands how to be gentle and respectful with them. The home is very dog-friendly—pups are welcome on the furniture, encouraged to get comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re here. I am also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, crate, or exercise routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
About: We had a dog for 17 years that passed away earlier this year at the age of 19 (able to care for a senior dog). He was adopted from Southern Indiana Animal Rescue. My son was in 3rd grade when we adopted him so we taught him how to take care of a pet. *Large fenced in backyard *Someone is always home *Dog walking included *One or more dogs from same family only at one time *Your pet(s) is priority Available weekdays and weekends. There is always someone at home that can let the dogs out. Walks after I get home from work in neighborhood or park. No other pets in the house currently. Only one family's dog(s)s at a time, no need to worry about them getting along with other pets. Your pet will be my top priority.
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“Kelsey was the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took great care of our dogs, sent regular updates and pictures. I think our dogs felt very comfortable with her. Our dogs came back to us in great condition as well. We were so happy to have found her since moving to the area, what a blessing to know our dogs were in good hands.”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“Kaitlin was great! She took care of our puppy for the first long trip we were away from him. We were a little nervous about leaving him, but she kept us updated with pictures each day. She also has 2 dogs of her own for him to play with. When we picked him up, he was exhausted, showing us that he got to play A LOT during his stay. Would highly recommend Kaitlin for boarding your pup!”
