Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wilbur
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wilbur
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jackson came through for me at the last minute and watched my dog right before I had to leave for vacation. He provided great communication and really saved our trip. Thanks so much, Jackson!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Abby Mae received the best of care and I couldn't be more pleased. I wouldn't hesitate at all to reccomend him and his wife. I've had other Rover sitters and he is one of the best. He will be my go to sitter.”
“Great experience working with Brooke. I was able to do a visit with my dog interacting with theirs before boarding. Brooke kept me up to date with pictures during Sapphire's stay. Would board with them again.”
“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“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!”

“Alissa took great care of our crew of kitties! She made friends with all of them, including our most anxious and skittish of the group. We got pictures of them throughout the day and we could see they were happy and content! She was able to give the variety of medicine they needed without issue too!”
“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 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. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.
“So glad we found Lexi! During our meet and greet, the dog and many of the cats fell in love with her at first sight. Lexi did all the drop-in visits, and everyone was very well taken care of. I would absolutely ask Lexi to take care of our four-leggeds again!”
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.
About: I have been caring for and loving cats and kittens of all ages since I was a little girl! I’ve always loved the quirky nature of cats, the love and protection they show for their families and the way they interact with each other. I’ve never gone a day without having at least one kitty in my home, and I can honestly say that my life has been saved by a cat before! She and I have an incredible bond still to this day- 12 years later! I believe that God put me on the earth to care for all animals and to be a loving mom. Well, my two children are grown and moved out on their own now but I do have 4 dogs and 2 kitties to love unconditionally everyday. I would like to help you care for your lovely kitties when you need to be away also!
“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.”
“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!?”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, currently have an Australian shepherd named Birdie who i love with all my heart. I know how important it is for dogs to be able to get that energy out with a nice walk. Im available basically whenever just need a days notice. I typically prefer mornings most days. But im not opposed to other types of scheduling! Just let me know! Im just available for walks. You can definitely trust me with your dog. I know how important dogs are to a family. My dog is like my child.
About: Cats are so so smart and can actually read energy very well. I have a cat, Casper who is pictured above and got him in my freshman year of high school. I love him with my whole heart and consider him to be of kin to me.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wilbur
“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 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: 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.
“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! 🌟🏆”
“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!”
“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!”
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,
“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.????”
“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!”
About: Hey there! I am Jen. I can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. Love being active outdoors, going for walks, and making new animal friends. Pets bring so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they have just as much fun (and comfort!) while you’re gone- as they do when you’re home. I work from home, with a fenced in yard. I often just keep the back door open, unless it's winter... so they can explore and potty as they wish. I think animals do better with company so we really like the social aspect of this app where animals can be together with each other
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: Hi, I’m Karla! I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love caring for them. I have years of experience looking after dogs and cats for friends, family, and through pet-sitting platforms. I’ve raised and cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies to senior dogs and I’ve personally had a German Shepherd and a pit mix, along with cats, chickens, and even hamsters growing up. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and have fostered pets, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and needs. Whether it’s taking your dog to the park for some playtime or a relaxing walk for fresh air, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care. I also have a reliable car for transportation if needed, and I’m happy to set up a meet-and-greet at a local park to make sure we’re a great fit. I am currently a stay at home mom so I’m pretty much home all day! So I have plenty of time to be with your pet I can crate your dog if needed. I always foster pets so I have a system on how the arrangement will go since I do have a cat, I have 2 sore bedrooms and a backyard, so plenty of room!
“We are truly thankful and appreciative for Jessica! She was not only attentive, professional, and reliable, but more importantly, we trusted the care and safety provided by her. If I can confirm your belief or bring comfort to the idea of leaving your loved ones, then book Jessica. She (and her adorable pup, Sunny) are the one for you!”

“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!!!

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. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. 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! Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. We offer a secure, large yard for playtime and a home where dogs and cats have always been cherished members of the family. My two friendly dogs are great companions, and my lifelong experience with animals ensures a comfortable and trustworthy environment for your beloved pet.
“My last review was 7 months ago, and I am reviewing again because I am relocating, and I don't know what we would have done without Ana. Ana walks my 65 lb. Weimaraner every week 3-4 times a week, and she has not cancelled ever, not once! Occasionally my schedule changes at the last minute, and she's always willing to adjust and extremely pleasant to work with! She is quick to respond with the app and always sends pics of her visits. We are definitely going to miss her. She has set the bar very high when we move to find someone as great as she's been!”
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.
About: We have had pets in our home since I was born and I have had my own personal pets since I was 12. I have given baths, walks, play time, trained puppies, etc. we have had animals of all ages and breeds. I am currently working full time 8-5 Monday to Friday close to downtown Indy. I have every weekend off. I can step out on a lunch break if needed depending on location and how long. I typically get an hour lunch. . We treat our pets and friends pets like they are family/children. Feed them for breakfast and dinner, then water as needed. Lots of treats of course!
About: I grew up with my own pets. I worked for a family member in high school, helping her in her grooming and kennel facility. Before I moved to the Indy area I worked at a dog daycare facility. I worked with dogs individually and in group settings. I did some behavioral training with these dogs and my own! I can evaluate dog emotions and behaviors and work with owners on any concerns that they may have I currently work full time and I’m off Sundays and Wednesdays. I’m available most days after 2 pm and no later than 6:30 pm. Not available Sundays during the day due to church. My saying is that mental stimulation is better than physical. At my home I always leave soothing music on for my dogs and leave them a toy or treat to play with. It helps reduce anxiety and lets them have their calm time.
About: I have always taken care of family pets, and within the last 3 years have opened up to family friends, and their friends who looked for pet care. I do not limit myself to just cats and dogs, I can care for more exotic animals such as ferrets, turtles, reptiles, rabbits, etc. I am able to administer medications as needed. Pet sitting is a big part of my schedule. I have spent up to 3 weeks caring for family pets, both overnights and drop ins. Although I have the families I love to care for, I am excited to meet some friendly faces and give more love to! I care for peoples pets preferably in their own homes. I always like to do a meet-and-greet following up to my stays/visits. I always follow how parents ask for me to care for each pet to keep them in a routine they know and love.
About: I spend my days teaching a class of 2nd graders and would love to spend my nights and weekends caring for you beloved pups. I have 3 dogs of my own and have had numerous dogs over the years! I have a great deal of experience with small breed dogs and have a sweet spot for the gentle giants. I offer dog sitting in your home, drop in visits and dog walking! All 3 of my dogs take daily meds so I am comfortable giving whatever meds your pet needs to stay comfortable. I live in the Monrovia area and would love to help care for your pup. I work in a school setting from 7-3 each day so I can drop in before school and multiple times in the evening while you’re away- and my weekends are usually completely open to meet the needs of your pups. I have open availability until the first week of August. My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, love, and cared for as possible while you’re away. My dogs are always top of mind while I’m out of town so I try and do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Which usually means plentiful updates and photos depending on what each client requests!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, currently have an Australian shepherd named Birdie who i love with all my heart. I know how important it is for dogs to be able to get that energy out with a nice walk. Im available basically whenever just need a days notice. I typically prefer mornings most days. But im not opposed to other types of scheduling! Just let me know! Im just available for walks. You can definitely trust me with your dog. I know how important dogs are to a family. My dog is like my child.
About: My pet care experience includes a variety of different animals such as, dogs, cats, a turtle, hamster, mouse, bunny, and fish! I have always had a strong connection with animals and caring for them in general. The passion I have for taking care of all animals is very strong and I believe they are the purest creatures we have. If you chose me to watch your dogs or cats I promise you they will feel safe in this home and loved while you are gone. Your pet will be in good and loving hands. I also believe that animals have distinct personalities and emotions and those emotions should be paid attention to. Animals have needs just like humans have needs. Us humans have to tend to them! I feed the cats and dog every morning around 7 or 8. I let the dog out for about an hour or so before I leave for work and, clean the cats litter boxes (yes, they have separate ones) while the coffee is brewing. I make sure to spend some quality time with them before I leave. When I get home, Juno is always so excited to see me and the cats run up to me too! I’m just as excited to see them as they are to see me… I am not offering Boarding services right now because my dog and cats do not get along with other animals. I do offer house sitting services, where I start off by greeting the animals and gaining their trust. This is always the first thing I do when entering your house. I then go to the kitchen where the instructions to feed and walk them usually are. If they are not in the kitchen I usually double check my Rover app to see if there are instructions there. I make sure to close all of the blinds in the house and, lock every door if I ever need to leave during the house sitting duration.
About: Over 7 years experience caring for all different kinds of animals in all capacities! I know how to administer medication, orally or injection, and wouldn’t mind doing so. I received my trainers certification from Catch Trainers Academy in 2024 and am well versed in dogs language and behavior. I’m also pet CPR/first aid certified through the Red Cross. I’m a full time pet sitter & dog trainer so I’m able to have an extremely accommodating schedule because of this. This allows me to be there for pet parents when needed! **House sitting is for the hours of 5pm-8am - price reflects 6 hours of care | please reach out if you have different needs** I believe in patiently caring for every animal, as every animal is different and special in their own way. Your animal will be loved on and given plenty of cuddles and treats. I’m willing to walk them wherever is convenient. If your dog just wants to chill (it’s like that sometimes) we can hang out. I can properly and gently re-crate any dogs and, if needed, put up any cats.

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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jackson came through for me at the last minute and watched my dog right before I had to leave for vacation. He provided great communication and really saved our trip. Thanks so much, Jackson!”
“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!”
“Great experience working with Brooke. I was able to do a visit with my dog interacting with theirs before boarding. Brooke kept me up to date with pictures during Sapphire's stay. Would board with them again.”
“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
