“Our 15-month old Golden Retriever Cooper enjoyed an active weekend with Chrissy’s family, her their dog and a visiting Golden. Sounds like Cooper enjoyed playing with his big friends in Chrissy’s yard. Chrissy was super accommodating with an early drop off and a late pickup. She promptly replied to my texts and sent us pictures which we appreciated. Very happy with his stay and would return without hesitation.”
“Ann was the perfect dog sitter for Olive. We have only left her once before with a sitter during a trip. We are quite protective of her. It was apparent that Ann and Olive got along very well together. It was nice getting updates and a photo now and then from Ann; it helped us know we made the right decision to use Rover and Ann. We will be using her again!”
“Kenai loved his visit with Kymberlee! I’ve always had dogs that could be fine left home alone for a day or two (with somebody coming to feed them, of course!), but our recently rescued husky loves to escape when nobody is home. Thanks for taking care of him!”
“Once again we have struck GOLD! Abbie has a GREAT home environment. My Keazer and Sözé were well taken care of. They enjoyed the ability to be outside and great lengths. We were able to extend when pick up needed to be delayed. We are looking forward to having them return for the next time.”
“Jamie did a great job with our Boston Terriers and she kept us up to date frequently. When my ‘finicky’ dog decided not to eat one day, Jamie communicated throughout day with me, we were able to discuss his sensitivities and ways to coax him, and he ate later. I appreciate her care of our puppies.”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Amanda and Mike were super welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving Dolly with them for the weekend! They have two labs of their own which made me confident they knew how to handle our high energy girl. They sent lots of pictures and Dolly seemed to have a great time!”
“If you love your dog like they were your own child, then book Tonia! I’d give Tonia six stars if I could. Her patience and kindness with humans such as I, and animals like my dog, were superb! She knows that dogs are dogs and is understanding when they behave as such. My dog is not comfortable in kennels, when other sitters have that as a norm, she lets them hang out as close to her as they want, all the time. She treated my dog (my kid) like her own and she appreciates the familial love my dog and I share.”
“Can’t recommend Patricia enough! She took care of my fur baby like it was hers and I appreciate that a lot! I had a lot of reports through Dom’s stay with her, and photos🫶🏻; she really care for our doggies and played with them and give them love and attention and they won’t feel far from home. Best sitter so far!🤍”
“Shauna watched Luna last summer and did such an amazing job, we thought we’d ask her again to watch her and our new addition, Koda, for this summer vacation. Beyond satisfied again! Shauna treats our babies just like her own every time she watches them. It’s like they are on a vacation of their own at her house! There are always other dogs for them to play with, and a loving family, of course! Shauna sends “pupdates” at least every other day, sometimes more. We are so happy with the service she and her family provides! Would highly recommend her services!”
“Tasha and Joseph were amazing! They have 4 dogs of their own but still watched, not only my dog but, my sisters dog too! I received at least 1 update every day, sometimes 2. It made me feel comfortable I had to leave my pup behind. Definitely will be using them in the future!”
“Karen was GREAT with our golden retriever Max and I would totally work with her again! Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so he’d have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadn’t met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands! Thanks Karen!!!”
“Bethany and her family were amazing! We got pictures daily and it looked like our dogs had an amazing time! Bethany exceeded my expectations making sure my girls were happy and having fun! She gave us regular updates and even made sure they were clean for pickup after playing in the doggy pool! We will definitely be using Bethany again!”
“Mary was great! She is very understanding of doggies and their needs. ? Groot was well taken care of. Thank you, Mary! And she sent me regular photos and updates while I was away.?”
“She was very friendly and sweet to Spud, very formal with pictures. Kept me updated and took care of Spud exactly as requested with meds and feedings. Spud had a blast, he didn't want to leave.. I totally recommend her to any one. Will be using her again in near future.”
“They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She was very flexible with the times on drop off and pick up. Ember was happy with the long walks and nap time right next to Jenny. We were so glad our first time back on rover was made easy and delightful. Definitely going to be asking her again!”
“As always, Michelle is amazing! We have been using Michelle to puppy-sit for over a year now & can’t imagine using anyone else. Finley loves spending time with Michelle and her dogs so much it’s like he doesn’t even realize he’s not at home 🖤”

“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
“As someone who used to provide Rover services, I was a little anxious about booking services myself. Yet, Anastasia's experience and comfort with a wide variety of animals put me at ease. She was just as warm and accommodating to my forever bunny and the rescued kitty who was dumped and now living in my office. Not only did both animals engage with her right away, Anastasia offered to try to help me find a home for the kitty. She provided thoughtful reports with words and pictures for her 2x/daily visits. Plus--and this is how I know she genuinely cares about animals--she took pictures of kitties she saw outside my apartment building and asked me about them. (They actually belong to my neighbor, but there's no evidence of that.)”
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. We currently own one German Shepard!

About: I've been around animals my whole life from owning them to caring for others animals.

“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
“I brought my cat over there. Mary accepted my cat on just about no notice and kept him safe for 3 days. Mary was also very proactive in sending me photos to my phone. This was a nice gesture to keep my mind at ease that my cat was safe and it was also nice just receiving cute photos of my cat from time to time. Some of the photos included my cat bathing in the sun, resting on her couch, and pretty much just enjoying a little vacation. When I came to pick up my pet, she gave me the run down on his behavior and was also very kind enough to allow me to run around her house, move furniture, and to fetch my cat. If you have a pet, you can rest assure knowing Mary can take care of him while you are away. I cannot thank you enough. Will be seeing her in the event my cat needs another hotel. :)”
“We love Gwendolyn! She gives our girl love and attention every visit. She stayed longer than her scheduled time when Yuki felt sick to make sure she was okay. I will always choose her for our kitty sitting needs!”
About: I’ve watched cats since I was 9 years old. I lived in an apartment complex so I’d take care of all the neighbors cats. One of the cats I currently own takes a daily medication and is a fighter against it so I know how to wrangle a cat to administer medication, but I believe in a fear free approach! I am not scared of being clawed or bit at all, but will do all I can to avoid it! My goal is to keep your kitty happy and healthy! I have no problem cleaning litter boxes, accidents or hair balls as I have four cats of my own.
“Taylor was great! She took care of our cats exactly as requested and made sure our house was clean when we got home! She sent pictures and updates after each visit. Would definitely book with her again”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every cat like they’re part of my family. I understand that every cat has unique needs, whether they’re a playful kitten or a senior cat who needs extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I have a special soft spot for senior cats and understand the importance of providing a calm, stress-free environment where they feel safe and loved. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping cat parents updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every cat feel comfortable, secure, and happy in my care. I have been caring for a variety of pets for friends and family for many years.

I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby.

About: i have taken care of a variety of cats with diverse ranges in size, personality, and friendly towards both strangers and close relatives. I have trained my own cat, Korin (aka Mufassa) well! To the point he’s comfortable with commands although he does not always obey! 🤣 he’s got a very rogue personality. Korin is over a decade old at this point but still in prime condition and health! I honed my cat caretaker skills over the years with many feline furry friends, and will likely always have one in my life as cats bring a certain balance to life that is hard to otherwise find. Cats tend to be the easiest animal to care for from my experience, as they are the most obvious to read. You know fairly quickly where you stand, with both dogs and cats, and no matter where you stand you can build from that by maintaining constant gas in your JEEP Jesus Enthusiasm Encouragement Peace Long as you operate in the JEEP everything will be exactly what it is meant to be🎶

“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
“Karen did a fantastic job caring for my Loki. She made sure that my dog was safe and took my extremely attached dog with her wherever she went. Which I really appreciated because my dog hates being alone. She provided me with updates throughout the day. I felt my baby was really well cared for a safe while in her care.”
“We traveled from Michigan to explore the area and visit the Creation Museum. During our visit, Tyler provided outstanding care for our nervous dog. He ensured she enjoyed multiple walks each day, which she loves. Understanding her age, Tyler was flexible and allowed her to take her much-needed naps. Thanks to Tyler, we could fully enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was in great hands!”
About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. We currently have 4 dogs of our own. Pets are allowed on the furniture, in the bed with us and we love cuddles! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of neighbors with dogs. They love to run the fence line. I am home outside of errands and can manage your dogs while you are at work. They will have frequent potty breaks and lots of room to play. Dogs are apart of the family. They are allowed on the furniture and the beds, we have extra play space and the house is baby proof.
About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
“Lisa is very thoughtful and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs! She took great care of our puppy. She helped us out last minute and was really flexible with pick up and drop off times. She made sure our girl was well taken care of and socialized with other doggos. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day which we loved.”
“Allison is a fantastic dog sitter! My dog loves going to her house and playing with her Great Danes. Allison is wonderful with the animals and is fabulous to work with. We are so lucky to have found her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“So great! My puppy Steve loves going to Kimberly's house he has lots of playtime with the other dogs that are there, Kimberly keeps in contact with me sending pictures of my pup playing, she takes them on walks! I couldn't be more happy with the doggie daycare, Steve is much more happy and stimulated and I'm relaxed knowing he's being well taken care of and getting the love and attention he needs”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me!

About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.

I already have clients from other websites, as well as references for multiple pet sitting jobs. Long and short term gigs and anything in-between are great. I will play, give attention to and feed and water and give as needed bathroom breaks as per owners instructions. I love animals so they will be spoiled with my care!

About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“She was on time and understood my instructions and handled everything perfectly! She also didn’t have an issue walking my larger American bullies who pull and handled them with more patience than I do. I will be using her again for sure and my dogs loved her!”
About: Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35. I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :) I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).
About: Hi, I’m Ally! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have worked with 12+ different breeds. I love staying active and taking dogs on walks while making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, family members, and through pet-sitting platforms. My experience includes overnight stays, extended care, feeding, walking, bathing, and, of course, spending quality time with your pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and overnight stays. I love staying active, so daily walks and spending time with pets easily fit into my weekly routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as much as possible and carefully follow any feeding, medication, or special care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I am a dog owner myself, having dogs throughout my whole life. I love any and all dogs and would love an opportunity to meet yours. I’ve had past experience watching both dogs and cats, where I’ve stayed overnight, fed, walked, and cared for pets in various ways. I also have reliable transportation and am willing to accommodate any needs necessary. I am eager to learn anything that will help your pet feel safer and happier while caring for them! I’m free throughout most days this summer, so my attention can be fully on your pets! Other than occasional trips/errands out, I can stay as long as you need with your fur babies! I’m very comfortable doing anything you need within your home for your pets! I can crate if needed, and I love walking if that’s something you’d like your pet to experience.

About: I enjoy being around pets and I just recently lost my 13yr old dog, so want to give back by caring for others. RIP crispy simba! I work from 8-5pm m-f but free in the afternoons and on the weekends, just need a 1-3 day notice. Thanks to all the pet owners!!! My home is fully fenced in the front porch and back patio. There is plenty of space for 1-4 dogs. There's also good areas to walk them as well.
About: Hello! I have been a vet assistant for three years and worked at a dog daycare for three years. I have plenty of experience walking and taking care of the tiniest cats to the biggest dogs. I have experience with exotics as well. I absolutely love being around animals because they always brighten my day. I have had dogs my entire life, so I am comfortable around any dog. I would love to help take care of your animals! I’ll even add in bonus belly scratches and plenty of treats! I work full time as a vet assistant, but typically have a couple of days off throughout the week. I am hoping to take care of animals on the days I am available. Currently I am unable to host any dogs in my own household. I will only be available for walking and drop ins as of right now. I promise to always make the animals as comfortable as possible and have positive interactions. I am very respectful of client’s homes as well.
About: I grew up helping my parents take care of 5 dogs at a time (9 dogs in total). I also took in a kitten 6 years ago. Together I am well rounded to help with most sizes and breeds of pets. I am a nurse so my work schedule is sometimes wonky. I only work 3 days a week though, so just message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am more than willing to take your fur baby on a walk, can come over and care for them per owner request, can bring back to my place and care for if needed. I live in OTR so I have plenty of places to walk and parks to go to.

“Our 15-month old Golden Retriever Cooper enjoyed an active weekend with Chrissy’s family, her their dog and a visiting Golden. Sounds like Cooper enjoyed playing with his big friends in Chrissy’s yard. Chrissy was super accommodating with an early drop off and a late pickup. She promptly replied to my texts and sent us pictures which we appreciated. Very happy with his stay and would return without hesitation.”
“Kenai loved his visit with Kymberlee! I’ve always had dogs that could be fine left home alone for a day or two (with somebody coming to feed them, of course!), but our recently rescued husky loves to escape when nobody is home. Thanks for taking care of him!”
“Want to thank Abbie for watching our 2 dogs Winston and Jet for 4 days while we went on a short vacation. She was easy to work with and provkded text updates and pics of our dogs playing and relaxing at her home. Would recommend. Thanks again Abbie!!”
“Jamie did a great job with our Boston Terriers and she kept us up to date frequently. When my ‘finicky’ dog decided not to eat one day, Jamie communicated throughout day with me, we were able to discuss his sensitivities and ways to coax him, and he ate later. I appreciate her care of our puppies.”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Amanda and Mike were super welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving Dolly with them for the weekend! They have two labs of their own which made me confident they knew how to handle our high energy girl. They sent lots of pictures and Dolly seemed to have a great time!”
“If you love your dog like they were your own child, then book Tonia! I’d give Tonia six stars if I could. Her patience and kindness with humans such as I, and animals like my dog, were superb! She knows that dogs are dogs and is understanding when they behave as such. My dog is not comfortable in kennels, when other sitters have that as a norm, she lets them hang out as close to her as they want, all the time. She treated my dog (my kid) like her own and she appreciates the familial love my dog and I share.”
“Can’t recommend Patricia enough! She took care of my fur baby like it was hers and I appreciate that a lot! I had a lot of reports through Dom’s stay with her, and photos🫶🏻; she really care for our doggies and played with them and give them love and attention and they won’t feel far from home. Best sitter so far!🤍”
“Shauna watched Luna last summer and did such an amazing job, we thought we’d ask her again to watch her and our new addition, Koda, for this summer vacation. Beyond satisfied again! Shauna treats our babies just like her own every time she watches them. It’s like they are on a vacation of their own at her house! There are always other dogs for them to play with, and a loving family, of course! Shauna sends “pupdates” at least every other day, sometimes more. We are so happy with the service she and her family provides! Would highly recommend her services!”
“Tasha and Joseph were amazing! They have 4 dogs of their own but still watched, not only my dog but, my sisters dog too! I received at least 1 update every day, sometimes 2. It made me feel comfortable I had to leave my pup behind. Definitely will be using them in the future!”
“Karen was GREAT with our golden retriever Max and I would totally work with her again! Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so he’d have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadn’t met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands! Thanks Karen!!!”
“Bethany and her family were amazing! We got pictures daily and it looked like our dogs had an amazing time! Bethany exceeded my expectations making sure my girls were happy and having fun! She gave us regular updates and even made sure they were clean for pickup after playing in the doggy pool! We will definitely be using Bethany again!”
“She was very friendly and sweet to Spud, very formal with pictures. Kept me updated and took care of Spud exactly as requested with meds and feedings. Spud had a blast, he didn't want to leave.. I totally recommend her to any one. Will be using her again in near future.”
“As always, Michelle is amazing! We have been using Michelle to puppy-sit for over a year now & can’t imagine using anyone else. Finley loves spending time with Michelle and her dogs so much it’s like he doesn’t even realize he’s not at home 🖤”
“Leann has always come through for me when I needed someone to watch my dog, Maui—even on short notice. She’s reliable, caring, and treats Maui like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Fantastic job taking care of my pup. He had a great time and was even kinda worn out at the end of the weekend which is always a bonus with my always energitic little guy. They sent pictures and kept me updated throughout. Great job.”
