“Bret was amazing, took great care of my Velcro baby. I work nights & Bret was able to accommodate my last minute booking. He’s very thorough & kind. I know Dior had a great time spending the night with him & his family. We would definitely be booking again.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”

“Morgan is such a sweet person, she’s quick with her response, sends pictures for updates & I can tell my little one had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be using her again🤗”
“Martha did such a wonderful job looking after our little Gumbo! There was great communication and she clearly loves and has great experience with taking care of pups! Gumbo was extremely relaxed and happy when we picked him up after a long stay. We are so grateful to have found such a great boarding option!!”
“Winnie was absolutely wonderful with Stella during the three nights we were out of town! She took such good care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Her own dogs were very sweet! And then Stella decided to add a little excitement to Winnie’s stay by going through a brief “I think I’ll drink ALL the water and then puke it back up” phase. 😂 Winnie handled it like a champ, kept an eye on her, and helped Stella get through her little stomach drama. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring, attentive, and patient. Stella was clearly in good hands, and we’re definitely looking forward to using Winnie again and her 3 pups. Hopefully, next time, Stella will skip the special-effects portion of her visit! 😂🐾❤️”
“It was such a great experience with Amber during the holidays! This was our first leaving our puppy and I'm glad it was a positive experience. Amber was very accommodating, and responsive and continued to give us updates as we requested. She made sure that all of my puppy needs were met and maintained the same schedule. Thank you Amber for taking care of Simba! 🐾”
“I’m so grateful Tania was able to accommodate us last minute. She sent us pictures and videos of Mia playing and enjoying her time over there! Mia looked so happy! 💜”
“Our pup appeared to be very content under Kirsten’s care where she had a 24 hour stay. Kirsten was a great communicator and provided pictures and texts that aided in easing the worry of leaving our sweet girl with a total stranger! Thanks for everything.”
“Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!”
“John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.”
“Kelsey is wonderful and really goes above and beyond! My pup Salem has stayed with her twice now, and has been well cared for and enjoyed her stay both times! I will continue to call on her in the future!”
“Haley was great with our little nervous rescue pup! She sent updates and reassured us that our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely use Haley again.”
“Maximo was awesome! First he accommodated a last minute request for boarding for my dog Dawson! He is very friendly and communicative and I knew Dawson was going to be in good hands from the moment I met him! I loved that he made sure my dog got outside everyday and was kept active and busy with his dog! He was great about giving daily updates too! I will definitely recommend Maximo and will be using him for care in the future!”
“Laura was amazing! She was so professional and caring! My old dude was having a hard night the first night but Laura was supportive and communicating the whole time. She was wonderful!”
About: I grew up with dogs and raised them responsibly throughout my childhood. As a young adult, I adopted an older cat and had a loving five years together before my baby passed. I love animals of all kinds and would welcome taking care of your pets with gusto and compassion. I’m currently a full time college student with a part time job, but I can fit your needs into my schedule! I am available for early morning and afternoon dog walks, overnight weekday cat stays, and mid-day check-ins on your beloved animals. Message me if my times work for you. I live in a non smoking apartment that is very pet friendly, with plenty of room for a cat. When it comes to dog walking, I take the utmost safety precautions and would love to walk them within your own neighborhood, as my downtown neighborhood is not very amenable to dog walks.

“Sarah went above and beyond to take care of our 3 cats while we were out. She also possesses a magical quality that brought one of our VERY shy cats out of hiding! I am extremely thankful that someone as caring and reliable as Sarah was able to look after our cats.”
“Dina was awesome! She provided written and detailed updates, along with photos from each visit. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to leaving my kitty, but I felt much more at ease being away, knowing that she was there caring for her! Will definitely seek her services again!”
“Taylor was so accommodating with short notice and very attentive to our little guy. He was quickly drawn to her and we got great pictures with every visit while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“Morgan was AWESOME! She did everything perfectly, including spending quality time with my sweet kittens! They adore her. Morgan is responsible and friendly, and a true lover of all pets! Would hire again!”
“Sara is so sweet and watched my cat over the holiday week! Sends great pictures and lets me know how he is doing every visit! Have rebooked, and will rebook again! Thanks Sara!”
“I had an excellent first experience hiring Tiffany to look after my cats while I was out of town. When Tiffany came by for a meet and greet, I could tell that she truly understands cats and their unique needs. Tiffany was communicative, arrived on time for drop-ins, and shared thoughtful and informative updates.”
“Kayla was great!! We had piece of mind having her do daily check-ins with our kittens and elderly/special needs cat while we were on vacation for a week. We knew they were in good hands. We will use her services again!!we appreciate her pictures and communication!”
“Katherine really helped me out by stepping in last minute to check on my kitten and was so easy to work with. She confirmed all the relevant details, asked good questions, played with my little guy during her visit and made sure everything was in good order before leaving. Can’t thank you enough, Katherine!!”
“Julie did a fantastic job checking in on one very sociable and one very shy cat while we were on vacation. She included pictures and details of each cats’ behavior each night. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cats’ wellbeing. They both seemed underwhelmed with our presence upon our return. Perhaps they were hoping for Julie instead of us. We will definitely be booking Julie again whenever our travels take us out of town!”

About: Hi, I’m Amber! Having grown up around animals and volunteered with several animal rescues, I bring experience caring for pets of all kinds—from gentle seniors to energetic puppies. I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and tailoring each visit to their unique needs. Your furry family member will always receive my full attention. During walks or drop-in visits, I make it a priority to keep you connected to your pet’s day—you can always expect detailed updates, notes, and plenty of photos! I work in education, which means I’m available evenings, weekends, and throughout the holidays—perfect for keeping your pet happy and cared for when you’re busy or away. I offer drop-in visits designed to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. During each visit, I handle feeding, fresh water, walks, litter or potty breaks, and any special care instructions you provide. I also make time for play, snuggles, or quiet companionship—whatever your pet prefers. With me, you’ll always receive detailed updates and photos from every visit, so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to ensure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away.
“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow their established routine for meals, walks, exercise, and rest. I provide attentive care, patience, and an stress-free environment while making sure owners stay updated. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and three senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
About: I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!
About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.
“Laura did a fantastic job watching my puppy Alma! She watched her for multiple days and each day Alma came home a happy pup. I got a detailed report on the day and felt very secure trusting Alma in her care.”
About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.
“Megan looked after my dog, Figgy, every day for two weeks during an especially busy time at work. I had never trusted anyone else to look after her before, so I was understandably nervous about how it would go. I honestly couldn’t recommend Megan enough! Figgy had such a wonderful time and was made to feel like part of the family. I never had to worry about her care or happiness, which was such a huge weight off my mind during an already busy period. Megan was incredibly welcoming, flexible, and caring, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved having Figgy around (and vice versa). I would absolutely trust Megan with Figgy again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you, Megan and Parker!”

About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands.

I live with two other young girls, and we live on a safe culdesac with a completely fenced in backyard, and our yard backs up to a local park, which is perfect for games of fetch and quick walks! I am serious about leash safety, and always make sure other dogs are on leashes when interacting with my own dog.
“Guadalupe was great with our girls. So easy to communicate with, kept us updated with pics and videos and even provided a great restaurant recommendation. If we come back through Lexington, we will return to Guadalupe.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a small child, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and ducks. I currently share three rescue dogs with my partner, who all love meeting new dog friends! I was a small animal vet tech for several years, and am very comfortable administering medications, including insulin, as well as reading dog behavior and body language to ensure safety. I can confidently manage play time and I’m willing to step in if someone looks like they need a break. We have a fully-fenced, secure backyard, with 6-ft privacy fencing and plenty of room to run! My partner and I both work from home, so dogs are rarely left unattended. Two of our dogs are crate-trained (our senior boy does not get crated). My partner and I both work from home to accommodate our dogs. The dogs are rarely left unattended, unless we are going somewhere together. We set aside time to play with our dogs and take them for walks and hikes. I have a fully-fenced backyard secured with 6 ft privacy fencing. I am confident in reading dog body language and behavior and have no problem stepping in to allow breaks in play time. Our dogs are very friendly with others and are fully vaccinated, and we welcome other vaccinated dogs with regular disinfection between client pups.

“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
“Dax was very detailed at all times with his responses and notes. I felt very comfortable letting him take care of my dogs especially seeing the many pictures he took while he was there. He does a great job!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl, I’ve grown up multiple family pets and have watched dogs for family and friends when they are out of town. I am also a proud owner of an extremely playful miniature Bernedoodle. I love getting to meet and spend time with new furry friends and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working a part time job and caring for my own snuggle buddy, Therefore I will have flexible availability throughout the weekdays and the weekends. Holidays included. I have one friendly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company if wanted. As well as transportation and any needed doggy supplies!
“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.”
“Lucas is really quite incredible. I have a hectic and demanding job that requires me to have a dog walker that is very dependable and good with my pups. I have two pitbull mixes who can be a handful when their energy is high, and one who is quite reactive to other dogs. Lucas showed my dogs nothing but kindness and patience and effectively got them exercised and got their energy out for me. He showed up on time each walk and followed my instructions perfectly. He also communicated with me consistently which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall I highly recommend choosing Lucas to watch or walk your dogs, he is sweet and patient with dogs, trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using him in the future if he’s available.”
“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”
“Morgan is absolutely the best pet sitter! I had my daughter’s wedding and was able to relax and focus on other things because she was so dependable, reliable, and so caring and genuine. Thank you again so much for loving Marley! He already misses you!”
About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a miniature poodle I learned how to potty train him in the home and also trained him to see his crate as a safe space. I’m currently a college student thats has a very flexible schedule and only have one class a day. I would love to put the rest of my time into watching your dog(s). I've watched dogs my whole life! I also have a dog of my own. I know the ins and outs! I will get them to their daily walks on time, I will feed them on time. I will treat your dog as my own. Dogs bring me joy and I would love this opportunity to build a relationship with yours!
“Jeff was seriously amazing with our dogs while we were away for 5 days. We have two big, energetic golden retrievers that can definitely be a lot sometimes, and he handled them really well. He came by three times a day, took them on great walks, gave them lots of attention, and just genuinely cared about them. He started out walking them one at a time, but once our pups became a bit more familiar he did both at once like a superstar! What we really appreciated was how communicative and flexible he was the whole time. He always kept us updated (with lots of photos!), was super easy to work with, and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved him, and we came home to two very happy dogs and everything in great shape. We’d 100% trust Jeff to watch them again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, honest, and really good with dogs.”
“Kara truly cared about my dog and his well being. I would trust her to come in my home/hotel and care for my dog, anytime im in the area. She understood what was needed and his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter/dog walker!!”
About: I grew up riding horses and having small dogs around the house, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been dog and cat sitting off and on for the past 8 years, and I've been working in barns and caring for horses for 12. Today, I'm lucky enough to have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets while you're away. I have a bachelor's degree in Equine Science, with Animal Science as one of my three minors. Through my education and years of hands-on experience, I've developed a strong understanding of animal care, behavior, health, and daily management across a variety of animals. I have experience caring for senior pets, anxious and reactive animals, and animals with additional medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure each pet receives the care they need. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk or hike, play their favorite games, or simply curl up on the couch, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I care about getting to know each pet’s personality and routine, so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Their well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated along the way so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I genuinely love animals and feel incredibly lucky to spend my time caring for them. I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and make your time away a little easier! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I can be with your pets whenever is needed. Just let me know when you would prefer me there, and I can make it work! I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they're in my care. I take the time to learn their routines and personalities, follow your instructions closely, and give them the individual attention they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away.
About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also volunteered at animal shelters for several years. As a freshman at the University of Kentucky, I’m excited to continue spending time caring for and getting to know new pets! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care in between classes, after class, and on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m excited to make caring for animals a regular part of my week again! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll follow clients’ instructions, maintain their pet’s normal routine, provide food and water, and make time for exercise, play, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences to make sure they feel happy and at ease!
About: Hi, I’m Esther! I’m a college student who has been on Rover for over two years. Most of my experience is with younger dogs but I love taking care of seniors too. I currently don’t have any pups so I pet-sit to stay active and continue being around animals. I am a student with a lot of mid day and weekend availability. I’m very flexible, especially on holidays and during school breaks. I have a lot of experience house sitting as well and I love overnight visits. When leaving your pets with me, they’ll be treated as my own. I believe in open and transparent communication so I’ll provide lots of updates. I have skills in leash training, crate training, and grooming. I would love to keep your pet company! For safety on house sitting appointments, I plan on meeting clients and their pups before providing services to make sure we’re a good fit.
“Riley is hands down the best dog walker I’ve ever had. She cares about your animal and communicates very well. She was amazing with my dog, and I will 1000% be using her again.”

“Bret was amazing, took great care of my Velcro baby. I work nights & Bret was able to accommodate my last minute booking. He’s very thorough & kind. I know Dior had a great time spending the night with him & his family. We would definitely be booking again.”
“I will always see if Erin is available to watch our dog Hera. She is safe and happy with Erin and her husband and gets lots of walks. Erin is great with communication and easy to work with. We are repeat clients”
“Winnie was absolutely wonderful with Stella during the three nights we were out of town! She took such good care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Her own dogs were very sweet! And then Stella decided to add a little excitement to Winnie’s stay by going through a brief “I think I’ll drink ALL the water and then puke it back up” phase. 😂 Winnie handled it like a champ, kept an eye on her, and helped Stella get through her little stomach drama. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring, attentive, and patient. Stella was clearly in good hands, and we’re definitely looking forward to using Winnie again and her 3 pups. Hopefully, next time, Stella will skip the special-effects portion of her visit! 😂🐾❤️”
“I’m so grateful Tania was able to accommodate us last minute. She sent us pictures and videos of Mia playing and enjoying her time over there! Mia looked so happy! 💜”
“Our pup appeared to be very content under Kirsten’s care where she had a 24 hour stay. Kirsten was a great communicator and provided pictures and texts that aided in easing the worry of leaving our sweet girl with a total stranger! Thanks for everything.”
“Kelsey is wonderful and really goes above and beyond! My pup Salem has stayed with her twice now, and has been well cared for and enjoyed her stay both times! I will continue to call on her in the future!”
“Laura was amazing! She was so professional and caring! My old dude was having a hard night the first night but Laura was supportive and communicating the whole time. She was wonderful!”
“Julie is just amazing! We’ve had our dogs stay with her a number of times. She treats them like her own and nothing is better then getting updates of our fur babies while we are away.”

“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
About: Hi! I’m a 19 year old college student at The University of Kentucky who absolutely loves dogs and would be so happy to help take care of yours! I have two dogs of my own that are my best friends and I treat them as family. I’ve helped friends and family take care of their dogs my whole life! I already love walking and having a buddy to bring with me would be amazing! I currently live in an apartment but there’s plenty of grass to walk around on and i’m very open to going to dog parks, a trail, or anywhere they would want to go! For anyone interested in boarding, your dog is welcome to go on any furniture and cuddle with me in my bed if they’re allowed! I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and i’m excited to hear from you! I am a college student and do have classes but i’m totally available any day and time besides 1pm-4pm Tuesdays-Thursdays! I can walk your dog multiple times a day if needed around those times! For boarding I have a roommate who also loves dogs and we have opposite class schedules so one of us will always be home! I’m only gone for 2 hours during the day Tuesday-Thursday! I’m also happy to bring your dog anywhere with me if that’s what they’re used to! I’m able to follow any instructions based on your dog’s needs and am happy to help! I’m very trustworthy and will treat your dog as if they’re my own. Since I live in an apartment i’m happy to take your dog on walks frequently if they’re staying overnight with me and will give them absolutely all my attention!
“Ashley was super clear communicating and went above and beyond for my two cane corso mastiff mixes. My 5 month old puppy had almost no socialization and her 4 dogs were amazing with her. My older dog did happen to go into heat and Ashley was the perfect sitter for her!!!”
“Lauren is great and I highly recommend booking her! I was nervous about leaving my dog for vacation since I had just moved and Lauren was very sympathetic. My dog loved her dog and settled right in. Lauren communicated with me and sent videos and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely be booking Lauren again!”
“Excellent!! These are the NICEST people to take care of my dog!!! I will always check with them first! Polite, considerate, accommodating, reliable and professional.”
“Olivia went way beyond expectation! She took excellent care of our 70+ lb. golden doodle who needs lots of love and attention while we were out of town. This was the absolute best dog sitter experience we have had and we will definitely be using her again!!”
