“Our golden Bailey loves staying at Destinee’s house! She loves it there so much that she sprints to the front door as soon as we get there. They do a great job of sending daily updates and photos and do enrichment activities too. This trip we got a piece of art painted by our pup - love it. Highly recommend them!”
“Victoria took excellent care of our pup! She sent us daily updates with pictures so we could see that Bowser was comfortable and happy during his stay-cation. When we arrived to pick him up, he was outside waiting for us wagging his little nub tail! Thank you so much!”
“We rebooked with Joshua and Kate because Gus had such a great experience the first time. They are wonderful and were very flexible with last minute pickup time changes. We know Gus was cared for and loved in the best way!”
“Rachel and her family were amazing with my pup Greta. I received photo updates that helped put me at ease during the span of my trip. Greta had plenty of fun and that was all I could ask for. I definitely have plans to book with her again!”
“BearOtis and LuLu just spent a long weekend again while I had surgery and they were so excited to see her dogs again! I got plenty of updates and tons of pictures of my babies playing and resting. I’m so thankful to have someone take care of my dogs and love them like I do!”
“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!”
“Samantha was the best dog border we've ever had! Our dog is 16 years old and has a few special needs. Samantha managed his care SO well! We were gone for 12 days, and each day Samantha sent us pics and videos! We could see that he was not only well-cared for, but also happy. Our dog took to Samantha, her family, and her dog so well, we thought he might not want to come home again. Thankfully, he was happy to come home. :-) We hope to ask Samantha to care for him again when we travel.”
“Sarah and her husband boarded our dog over our dogs 3rd birthday and they spoiled her like crazy and made her day so special, we absolutely love them and were so happy to get pics of all the fun!! We take our dog to them all the time and couldn’t ask for a better sitter (and doggie playmate) for our pup!!”
“D is absolutely wonderful. She took perfect care of our pup, sent photos and videos, and was very responsive. She ensured that Luna followed all of our rules so she did not forget her training, while also showing extra care and attention so she did not get lonely. Our pup just loved her and it was evident that she felt right at home. We will definitely be returning.”
“Amazing experience. Nico received constant attention, care, and love the entire time he stayed there. I also received lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own dog. It’s hard to find people you fully trust with your dog, but I felt completely comfortable knowing Nico was in such good hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and I’ll definitely use them again in the future.”
“Tracy watched our two puggles for 5 days. She sent pictures updating me on how they were doing. She was very responsive and our boys were well loved and taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Stacy was so wonderful to our 2 yard old Golden Doodle! Her house is a friendly place and the whole family loves dogs. Stacy sent us plenty of updates throughout the days she cared for Kaia in her home of both dogs playing, sleeping, and eating. Let Stacy be your dog’s home away from home!”
“Felt very comfortable dropping my 2 fur babies off! They were well cared for and she sent us messages daily letting us know how the boys were doing. We will be sending them back next time!”
“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”
“Definitely recommend. My big ole dog gave his favorable review as he hopped out and ran up to start his repeat visit. Great companionship with Brooke’s family and dogs. Good communication. Will absolutely use again.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful with Bella. They were understanding and supportive of her separation anxiety, making me feel at ease while I was out of town. Bella came home happy and loved; I am so grateful that I found Emily. Definitely hope to book her the next time we go out on vacation.”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Mary did a great job with my dog this past week! I received multiple pictures and updates each day on how Fen how was doing. He came home happy and ready for a nap- signs of a great vacation for him. I will be excited to have Fen stay with Mary again in the future!”

“Shannon did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats! Her thoroughness put our minds at ease while we were away and we will definitely be booking her again.”
“Allyson is an excellent dog sitter! She’s been wonderful with my YorkiePoo, Jamaica, while I work from home. She keeps him active and entertained throughout their time together, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys her company. Jamaica always seems happy and well-exercised after their walks. I really appreciate how engaged and attentive she is with him. Highly recommend Allyson if you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Kara has done a great job caring for our cat when we’ve gone out of town. She’s been able to give the cat medication and get the sometimes shy cat come out to get attention from her when we’ve been gone.”
“Tess did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she did great administering his insulin. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures that we very much looked forward to. There were a few things that came up at the house that I needed help with, and she went above and beyond to help out. I was able to relax knowing my kiddos were in great hands. Will 110% book with Tess again!”
“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!”
“Angela watched our two cats while we were away. Both cats require daily medicine, and Angela was a pro at gaining their trust and delivering the medicine (both topical and oral). We would definitely recommend Angela to take excellent care of your cats!”
“Sarah was amazing at coming in & helping me give medications to our two cats when my husband was out of town. Great communication + on time. Would definitely choose Sarah again for any Rover needs in the future!”
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!
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.
“Danielle is amazing! She took care of our elderly kitties and gave one of them meds twice a day, kept the kitty box clean and sent pics of our babies! Thank you Danielle your the best!”
About: 🐾 Registered Veterinary Technician Providing Exceptional Pet Care 🐾 Hi! My name is Kelsey, and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with 7 years of experience in the veterinary field. I currently work in both general practice and shelter medicine, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments every day. Animals have always been my passion. I became a veterinary technician because I wanted to give animals a voice and help ensure they receive the care, comfort, and advocacy they deserve. As a pet sitter, I bring that same dedication into every visit. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services throughout the Indianapolis area. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, medication administration, or companionship while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and capable hands. My veterinary background allows me to provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I am experienced in administering oral medications, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, and intramuscular injections. I am also trained to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health. If I notice anything concerning, I will not hesitate to contact you. At home, I share my life with a Husky, two Husky-Pitbull mixes, a German Shepherd mix, and a turtle. Caring for a diverse group of pets has given me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. My goal is simple: to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I love building relationships with both pets and their owners and treating every animal as if they were my own. I am comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Senior pets • Puppies and kittens • Multiple-pet households • Pets requiring medications or special care • Shy, nervous, or reactive pets I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work full time but my schedule is flexible! If there are any specific needs you have, I am willing to accommodate you and your fur babies :) I currently care for my pets through a large privacy fence and lots of attention! Our pets are very routine-based, but I am also flexible when client’s pets have specific needs.
“Cali was a pleasure to have in my home staying with Winnie. She respected my home and sent me updates and pictures of Winnie during the stay. I will be reaching back out to Cali in the future if I need another sitter. Thank you!”
“Katie was able to fit me in kinda last-minute and she was a lifesaver! She took the time to take great care of my kitties, sent photo updates and notes and was reliable from our first meeting. I totally recommend her!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Young
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.
“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!”
“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 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.
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!
“As always, Hank had SO MUCH fun today with Mrs. Emily!! He got to play outside with the other dogs and dig in the dirt, and those are his most favorite things to do!! (He also got a bath after covering himself in dirt:) And mom gets to go to work worry free when Hank is with her.. We’re SOO thankful we found Mrs. Emily!! She’s the best sitter EVER!!!!”
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. Also, he is very knowledgeable on the needs of dogs when at daycare such as resting/calm time. As someone that is very particular about the care of my dog, I trust Jackson! Definitely recommend!”
About: I offer dog daycare, grooming, and overnight boarding, and I even have a certified dog trainer onsite to support puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and pups who need extra guidance. With years of hands-on experience, I personalize every stay to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. My facility is conveniently located off 135 and Stop 11 and features a one acre fenced in yard with four separate play zones for safe outdoor fun. I also have a large indoor play area for rainy or cold days, so your dog gets exercise and enrichment no matter the weather. And here’s what truly makes us different: I don’t believe in nickel-and-diming pet parents. • No extra fees for administering medications • No extra charge for treats throughout the day (with your permission) • No add-on fees for snuggles, playtime, or extra potty breaks • Everything your dog needs is included—love, attention, fun, and care Your dog will enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for you, and an experience that goes above and beyond traditional boarding. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. Monday–Friday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., I run a full doggy daycare program where your pup is supervised and engaged all day long. Boarding is available 7 days a week, and all boarding dogs enjoy access to daycare at no extra charge. Your dog’s care, comfort, and safety are built into every part of our daily schedule. Safety and trust come first. My facility is designed to give every dog a secure, enriching environment. We have multiple fenced yards that allow us to separate dogs by size, temperament, and play style to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident. An experienced team member supervises the dogs at all times, and we closely monitor behavior, energy levels, and group dynamics throughout the day. Indoors, we have a clean, climate-controlled play area for rest, enrichment, and safe play during bad weather. Every pup is cared for with the same attention, structure, and love we give our own dogs, because their well-being is our top priority.
About: Hi there! My name is Stacy and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several rescue dogs. I'm the first call for anyone I know who needs a dog sitter or walker. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! A move in ready kennel is available if needed. I'm located conveniently near the airport, 465, and 70 for easy drop off and pick-up! I work from home full time. I'm a total home body so staying home with dogs is a dream for me. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a 4 years old dog and son ready to play at all times! Dogs are family members so they are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a fully fenced yard and love to take walks daily. I am very happy to drop by for walks , potty breaks, and pets. My son excels at giving pets and love!
“We were in town for a tournament and with the flexible game scheduling and a lot of unknowns, Nichole was great work with and remained flexible with our schedule. I had to cancel my pup's stay at the last minute and Nichole was so gracious and kind to the adjustment. Next time we are in town, I will definitely be booking 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!”
“Andrea was wonderful. She was super accommodating and sent lots of pictures to us throughout the day. I would be happy to book with her again if we come through the Indianapolis area in the future.”
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.
“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!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, Kirby 3 years old (mix of we aren't sure) and Jerry 8 years old (Yorkshire terrier) and I have many foster dogs in and out of my home as I work with a local rescue to save dogs from the shelter and unwanted homes. People say I'm an "animal person" because I like all animals...even snakes :) I have a very flexible schedule and am available most times of the day and each day of the week. I usually prefer dogs to have a harness rather than a collar just for safety of the pet. I will enjoy getting to know the pets in my community! Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the care I can provide.
“Kamela was fantastic with my puppy! Her and her family accepted my baby as their own and I never had to doubt her safety or well being. Will definitely be using in the future and 100% recommended ☺️”
“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.”
“I dropped off Oz, our 6 year old, curious, mischievous and playful Husky-Keeshond, at Laura’s house for daycare and as well a surprise overnight boarding and he loved it!! He was good and tired from playing all day with other dogs and walking in the park and to top it all off the photo updates on the dog’s activities throughout the day were awesome!! My wife and I just wish we had found out about her sooner!! We will definitely consider her our first option the next time we need daycare, boarding or or the next time Oz just needs a day of fun!”

“Shannon is amazing. Super flexible and easy going, always willing to accommodate me and takes fantastic care of my dogs. I’m so grateful to have her taking care of my dogs”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies/kittens to seniors. I’ve also been a foster in the past with Indy Humane so I’ve had some experience giving medications to sick cats. I own my own business out of my home making jewelry and a full time mother. My availability would be during the day when my kids are in school and on Sundays when my husband is home. I care for pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. Whether I’m walking your dog or doing an in-home check-in, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and pay attention to their mood and needs. I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I treat each visit like it’s more than a task — it’s quality time with a furry friend!
About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals (including farm) since I was old enough to drive. I was also a vet tech for years!!! I recently quit my job as a preschool teacher, but don't want to be bored. I have all day to fill with your animal cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a big fur baby of my own to keep your baby company and entertained. The more the merrier.
“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 grew up with labs and when I was in high school, my mom adopted cats. I adopted my own cats in January and November of 2023. Through my time on Rover and Wag!, I have experience with all sorts of dogs! My gallery consists of all of the animals I have cared for as well as my own pets:) I just started my master’s program at the University of Indianapolis and am in classes for roughly 12 hours/week between TWR. I am out of class no later than 4 pm. As of January 2026, I will be working MWF from 3-6 pm in Westfield. I know I have a busy schedule and I understand if this doesn’t work for your pet’s needs, but know that I will give your pet/s all of my love and attention and the best care possible when I am with them:) I do my best to go off of their needs and their schedule! If a pup needs a little bit to get comfortable with me, I let them take their time before I approach them or before we do anything. First and foremost, I want everyone to feel comfortable.

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.
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.
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: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
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: I have a dog of my own, a 4 year old chihuahua-dachsund mix, who I take care of throughout the day while my family works and is at school, so I definitely have the experience of a hyper, loud puppy! I have helped dog sit and check in on pets for my neighbors and friends, including both dogs and cats! I am a college student home for the summer and currently working a part-time internship! My schedule is very flexible and fluid, but I am able to work from home most days! I am also flexible on timing for walks, but am more available from around 11am-3pm! I am available and able to follow any schedule or structure your dog may need for walks! I can provide any length of walk, treats, and crating if needed.

“Our golden Bailey loves staying at Destinee’s house! She loves it there so much that she sprints to the front door as soon as we get there. They do a great job of sending daily updates and photos and do enrichment activities too. This trip we got a piece of art painted by our pup - love it. Highly recommend them!”
“Victoria took excellent care of our pup! She sent us daily updates with pictures so we could see that Bowser was comfortable and happy during his stay-cation. When we arrived to pick him up, he was outside waiting for us wagging his little nub tail! Thank you so much!”
“We rebooked with Joshua and Kate because Gus had such a great experience the first time. They are wonderful and were very flexible with last minute pickup time changes. We know Gus was cared for and loved in the best way!”
“Rachel and her family were amazing with my pup Greta. I received photo updates that helped put me at ease during the span of my trip. Greta had plenty of fun and that was all I could ask for. I definitely have plans to book with her again!”
“BearOtis and LuLu just spent a long weekend again while I had surgery and they were so excited to see her dogs again! I got plenty of updates and tons of pictures of my babies playing and resting. I’m so thankful to have someone take care of my dogs and love them like I do!”
“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!”
“D is absolutely wonderful. She took perfect care of our pup, sent photos and videos, and was very responsive. She ensured that Luna followed all of our rules so she did not forget her training, while also showing extra care and attention so she did not get lonely. Our pup just loved her and it was evident that she felt right at home. We will definitely be returning.”
“Amazing experience. Nico received constant attention, care, and love the entire time he stayed there. I also received lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own dog. It’s hard to find people you fully trust with your dog, but I felt completely comfortable knowing Nico was in such good hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and I’ll definitely use them again in the future.”
“Tracy watched our two puggles for 5 days. She sent pictures updating me on how they were doing. She was very responsive and our boys were well loved and taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Emily and her family were wonderful with Bella. They were understanding and supportive of her separation anxiety, making me feel at ease while I was out of town. Bella came home happy and loved; I am so grateful that I found Emily. Definitely hope to book her the next time we go out on vacation.”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
