“Kristen & her Husband gave Oliver a great, safe, social, & loving environment while I traveled for work. Thank you for your help & support! Even grabbed an extra collar on my behalf ??”
“Valerie was excellent! She took great of our dog, sent regular updates, and managed his eye condition well. An added bonus is her sweet dog Ollie who was great company for our dog and kept him at ease.”
“When we needed a sitter last minute on vacation Emily came to the rescue and was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had. Emily sent pictures through the day, followed all our care instructions and loved our baby like we do.”
“Rachel took very good care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs tends to get very anxious when we leave and Rachel was able to give him the extra attention and love he needed. I could def tell the difference between bringing them to a boarding facility and then this time to Rachel. So happy we found her!”
“Amber and her family were great with my Mika. She sent me updates on how Mika was doing and was flexible as my schedule is a bit all over the place right now. I will book with her again as this was a fantastic experience!”
“Madison was amazing!!! Ranger is a very energetic pup and he had the best time with her and her dogs. She worked with all my requests and sent tons of pictures. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! I will definitely recommend her.”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Megan was great!! She sent regular updates and sent lots of pictures. Bella fit right in with her crew of dogs. I highly recommend if needed a pet sitter!”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Erin as very accommodating. Responded promptly to all messages. Sent pictures and took very good care of our little puppy. I was very thankful to have her watch our fur baby and when we go out of town again she will be our first choice!!”
“I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.”
“As always, Ashley took amazing care of my puppy with special needs. She and her dogs made Pearl feel so at home. Pearl does amazing there and is learning to socialize and how to act in a house and listen, despite being deaf. I couldn’t recommend them more!!”
“The communication, photos, and care have been great. We can trust that our dogs will come home happy, which is especially important for our older anxious girl. I’m pretty sure our girls are just as happy and comfortable at their house as they are ours .”
“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.”
“She took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She kept me updated with photos. My dog was happy and well cared , he looks so healthy . Highly recommend. --- You can adjust it as needed!”
“I am so thankful to have found Melody. My dog, Opal, took to her right away, and she LOVES being over there for daycare and overnight stays. The times are super flexible, and I’m thankful to have someone that loves my dog as much as I do! I get pictures and videos on how Opal is doing throughout the day. Definitely the best dog sitter in Lex!”
“Aubrey was amazing with my pup!! So sweet, sent pictures every day and flexible with times. She had to give her several eye drops and pills each day and had no troubles. You could tell my dog loved staying with her.”

“Kennedy was a perfect temporary cat mom for our little old cat. She always sent a photo and a detailed description of his food intake and whether he took his medicine well. I will definitely have Kennedy care for our cat again!”
About: I have experience caring for all types of cats and temperaments, from tiny kittens to adult and mama cats. I’ve cared for cats with special needs as well, including one eyed cats, and I understand the extra patience and gentle handling they may require. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter care, playtime, and giving cats the space or attention they prefer. I take pride in making sure every cat feels safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away.
“Amazing! My cat gets extremely stressed when I’m gone. I’ve never seen him so relaxed as to when I got back from this trip. It was clear Glenn took incredible care of him. I also really appreciate the pictures and videos to keep my mind at ease. Will certainly book again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.
“Ellie did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town, I usually miss him and worry about him a lot while I'm away from him, but she kept in touch with us about how he was doing and made sure to send lots of pictures! Would trust her to take care of him again and would definitely recommend her to others.”

“It is honestly hard to put into words how great an experience I had with Lois without sounding hyperbolic. She was a perfect guardian of my home, my kitties, and my anxious heart. I'd never left my kitties for even a night, and I'd never used a sitting service but was offered the chance to visit my son in the Netherlands for 3 weeks and I couldn't pass it up. I just needed to feel at peace with how I left things at home. Lois was wonderful. She came over early for a meet and greet, and it was immediately obvious she is a kind, intelligent, and gentle person. I have two cats from a horrible hoarding situation who have taken years to feel safe, and they both took to her immediately! My stray, who came to me barely weaned, took a while but even he came around (he is scared of the cars going by the house). She took notes! (Something I always wished people I trained at work would do) Lois and I chatted a bit fairly frequently via a chat app, and she always sent what she called "proof of life" pictures, all of which were so dear. (One was of the kitties waking her up one morning. Such a typical thing in my home, and its normalcy was what made it great. That, and someone just waking up having the presence of mind to grab their phone and record this little domestic scene!) In our chats, just by the way she talked about my kitties it was VERY clear she'd quickly picked up on their personalities, quirks, and needs. The very language she used talking about how they were doing made it obvious she was talking about my kitties, and not just generic kitty language. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her. While this is not the highest bar (lol) it was so nice to come home after 3 weeks, and an entire day of travel, to a clean, sweet smelling home with clean sheets on the bed! And a bowl of grapes on the counter to snack on (yes, I mentioned grapes and string cheese in our meet and greet. She listened!) I enjoyed Lois. I enjoyed our chats over and above talking about the kitties. She was clearly comfortable and cared about guardianship of my odd, quirky little house. Coming home I would not have known someone stayed here except that my cats were just as happy, fat, and sassy as they were when I left. I would recommend Lois without reservation. I feel like I have added a person in my life that I know I can count on if I need her, and if I ever need someone to care for my kitties it is really nice to know she is there. The comfort and peace she offered while I was on my magical adventure with my son was priceless. Thank you Lois!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Mary Grace! She house sat/pet sat our cat Luna and was fantastic. She provided great updates and photos and was attentive to all details house/pet related. She left our place cleaner than when she came and was very flexible when we had a slight schedule change. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Julia was wonderful with our two cats. She enjoyed playing with them and really treated our babies like her own. She also went the extra mile for us and was flexible with changes to the schedule. Highly recommended.”
“So appreciative of Leigh!! We needed a last minute sitter and she was prompt in responding. Leigh was a great communicator the whole weekend and sent lots of pictures which we loved. We could tell our dog had a great weekend when we got home! We would absolutely use Leigh again. Thank you for everything!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. The past 3 years, I have taken care of families, and friends animals for them using nothing but love. They will be in the most loving care they can be in! I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I am available every day, preferably starting in the earlier hours of the day. I am comfortable working any time anyone needs me! I will ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable in their own home. My number one priority is making sure that they are comfortable, and feel safe with me there! Whatever you need me to do, I will do in the best way possible!
“Mariah not only helped us out immediately, when we were in a tight spot, but she went above and beyond taking care of our cats while we were away. She was absolutely amazing with updates and information and we couldn’t be happier with her. You can absolutely trust her to take care of you and your pets needs. Thank you Mariah!”

“Emily and her pups were great! She was very welcoming and flexible with her time. She has an amazing fenced in yard. I felt very comfortable with her, and she was very patient and worked with my dog to get her settled. My doggie was very anxious, and Emily was very patient! Already have another booking with her for boarding!”
“We had an amazing experience with Ashley and couldn’t recommend her more! We were in town for just one day and wanted to visit the Ark Encounter, so we needed to find someone on short notice to watch our Golden Retriever, Ocean. Ashley was available with only a day’s notice and was incredibly responsive from the start. I’ll admit, I was a little apprehensive since I had never used Rover before, and I knew from her profile that she had four large dogs of her own. But Ashley quickly put my mind at ease. She was so kind, welcoming, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took excellent care of Ocean and went above and beyond by sending photos throughout the day, which meant so much to us and really helped us relax and enjoy our time. It was obvious Ocean was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We are so grateful we found Ashley and would absolutely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“What a great first experience! My dogs were so happy during their stay. I felt right at home when I dropped them off. Thanks for the updates! Will definitely book again!”
“Delaney was amazing again! With a last minute request, Rupp had the best time and her pictures were amazing. I love the doggy daycare report card at the end of the day! So fun. She spoils our baby boy!”
“Natasha was great! She was quick to communicate, open and easy to work with. She was very responsible and help put an anxious pet parent at ease!! We received updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“We've brought our pup to Laura multiple times and it's always been a stress-free experience. Laura is a great communicator and caregiver, and we love working with her!”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
“Sydney is a great Rover. Quick to respond. Flexible. Good location - near UK campus. Eg. She looked after my dog when we discovered at short notice that we could not take her to an event on campus. Clearly a dog lover - and my dog was comfortable with her.”
“Kayla has watched my senior dog several times now. My dog has massive separation anxiety, and Kayla is great with her. Harley seems relaxed when she gets home, which is usually a good indicator that she had a good day. Kayla is also an excellent communicator.”
“Debra was wonderful! I have one dog who is very anxious and she was so patient with him to make sure he was going to be comfortable in a new environment. She has a wonderful fenced backyard which was important to me as my anxious dog doesn’t do well on walks. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Communication with Nancy was excellent. She was quick to respond. Both our dogs spent the day with her while we were in the area. They played hard because they were worn out when we picked them up. We would book with her again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.
“She is fantastic. Bandit has never been around dogs and he is a ball of energy, but Madison knew exactly what to do. She sent us amazing videos and pictures. Our boy was so happy there and is completely exhausted. She is most definitely our go to from now!”
“Andrew has been absolutely wonderful with my little Charlie . Andrew is great at keeping open communication with pictures and updates on how the Charlie's daycare is going ..10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Kristin and her husband were great! My dog had a blast playing with their dogs and came home happy and tired. You can tell they truly care about dogs—highly recommend.”

“Very thorough and on top of things, even with how scatterbrained I am. Tater was a big fan of her immediately! My pup is reactive, an amputee and is very strong headed and I’m kind of a “helicopter mom” so I’m glad to have found someone that makes me feel at ease when I can’t make it home to walk her.”
About: I have experience in training animals especially puppies. I also work at a vet clinic. The health and well being of all animals is my main priority. I am constantly around animals from working in a Veterinary clinic to learning about them. When I am not working I am hanging out with my own animals. Happiness and safety of animals has always come before everything. Making sure your pets get the proper care they need while you're away is important to me. I strictly follow the instructions I have been given as consistency is key in an animals life.

I’m a recent college grad and have not yet found employment, so my schedule is wide open! I will be available Monday through Sunday at all hours. I do not offer boarding in my home, however I can supervise multiple dogs at once, walk dogs, follow specific feeding instructions, and respect the boundaries of your cat. I can also work with security systems and keep your home safe and neat.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 but began house sitting when I turned 16. I have experienced taking care of dogs, cats , horses and even chickens. while looking after your fur babies they will be given excellent care as if they were my own. A love to photograph animals so with my care come a free mini photoshoot. With your permission of course! My 1 year old black lab absolutely loves to play with others. So if your pup needs a buddy to burn off some energy she’s your pup . I work 6:30am to 2:30pm but I’m free the rest of the time to do pop in or walks. If I’m staying at your house I bring in my own food and drink. And stay with your fur baby the whole time. If I’m in home sitting I do a minimum of 3 30 min walks a day. 1 before work ,after work and before bed. And depending on your fur babies energy I’ll add in extra play time if needed. I’m stuck to strictly feeding schedules so whatever time you have them eat I’ll make sure to do they same. To help keep them in their normal routine. If I’m doing a drop in I can go walks /runs for about an hour unless you need me to take them for more time.
About: I have been pet sitting for 5 years and my friends, family and neighbors all have trusted me to take care of their pets for years. I have experience in basic obedience training with young dogs. I have trained my 2 dogs and have done some work with other puppies. I have experience with administrating medicine to senior animals. I also have experience with reptiles, I used to be a pet keeper at a pet store and picked up many useful skills during that time. I am currently working part time. Shifts are about 4 to 7 hours long but only 3 days a week. Daily walks are no problem, I can fit that into my daily schedule. I usually like to discuss with the clients that have booked with me about my schedule for that week. I usually do not house pets in my home due to the fact that we have many animals and things can get difficult. In a client's home I usually follow the instructions that I am provided for the pets diet and routine. I love playing and spending time with all my clients animals!

With having years and years of experience not only pet sitting, but fostering, and even owning my own dog, I can problem solve lots of the time aswell!!
About: Hi, my name is Sydney. I have a huge love for all animals, especially my little nugget Peanut. He is a 9 year old Black Mouth Cur with a huge personality. I have LOTS of experience with dogs, cats, and three years of paid experience with horses. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal lover, who has been caring for animals since I was three . Animals are my life's passion; I treat all animals as if they are my own. Regardless if you need help for a day, a week, or more, I'm more than happy to talk through your pet care situation. I have ample experience with taking care of horses, dogs, and cats, but I am open to learning how to care for your pets, big or small! Remember, when they are happy, you are happy! **My rates are adjustable based on your situation, just ask me!** I have had a dog my entire life. I've had just about every possible pet related emergency at least twice. Truth is, pets are unpredictable but I believe my experience helps me to be able to calmly react to any situation at hand. No matter how big or how small your pet is, I will treat every pet the same, with the unending passion I have for animals. Animals bring me joy and I would never do anything to get in the way of that. Why I love dog sitting Plain and simple, I love animals, cats, dogs, bunnies, horses, goats, you name it, I love it and can probably say I've taken care of it before. I'm not a huge fan of reptiles, but I'd love to hear about your needs regarding your reptilian friend. My experience administering medication My dogs have been sick, many a time before. I can administer oral medication as often as needed. When it comes to injections, the vet is the right person for that. I am an independent contractor, which makes for a very flexible schedule. In emergencies don't hesitate to reach out or if you're stuck at work and your babies need their dinner and potty break, I most likely will be able to accommodate your needs. Never hesitate to reach out! It goes without saying that I treat your home and your pets as if they are my own. I am driven by a high level of integrity and will ALWAYS do the right thing. Trust is also incredibly important to me and keeping yours is paramount. Trusting me with your fur babies is not something I take lightly. I promise to always be reliable, responsible and trustworthy.
About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. With hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, and a wide variety of other animals, I bring both passion and responsibility to every pet I care for. I'm dependable, compassionate, and always create a judgment-free environment! I'm currently an online student, which gives me a flexible schedule-especially on weekends and weekdays. I share my home with four cats, three dogs, and about 40 chickens on our two-acre property in Stamping Ground. It's a lively, loving household filled with some of the sweetest animals you'll ever meet! I'm happy to help with feeding, watering, administering basic care, and making sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and enrichment. Whether it's a leashed walk, a game of fetch, or just some quality cuddle time, l'm here to provide a safe and loving environment where your pet feels at home.
About: Dog Walking: Can be over thirty minutes (based on your preference), but additional charges may apply. I love taking care of all dogs and cats! Both of us could use the exercise anyways, and they will come home as happy as ever! House Sitting: Available for more than one night. Your pet will get my undivided attention the whole time I'm there (Plant care services complimentary). I am a working sitter with my own pup, so if overnights stays are your preference, then I may not be your flavor, and that’s okay! Drop-In Visits: Available for more than thirty minutes (additional charges may apply). Your pet will get lots of love and pets while you're away! I can do these around my work schedule!

Sterling, KY, Tues-Sat. It varies with my clients, so check in to see if I can work you in!! I do have my own doggy, but I can always work yours into my schedule as well! Overnight stays are not preferred. This will depend on my husbands schedule, as he is gone 24hrs every third day (first responder). Please please please keep in mind that I am a working sitter, so I will not be available to stay 24/7. If that’s what you prefer, than I’m not the best fit for your needs, and thats okay! If your dog cannot do potty breaks for more than 4 hours in between, I’m not the best fit! While I’m at the house, your pet will have my undivided attention and I’d be happy to give any special care needed. I do adore dogs and hope to give back any way I can to other pet owners in need. I know we can’t always turn to friends/family with our pets, but you still want them to be treated as such! This is just a fun way for me to help pay my student loans down :) I care for pets based on your needs/preferences. Depending on the instructions you give me! We love play time and walks :). I will not do anything that is not approved or pre-described.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. The past 3 years, I have taken care of families, and friends animals for them using nothing but love. They will be in the most loving care they can be in! I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I am available every day, preferably starting in the earlier hours of the day. I am comfortable working any time anyone needs me! I will ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable in their own home. My number one priority is making sure that they are comfortable, and feel safe with me there! Whatever you need me to do, I will do in the best way possible!
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have always loved them. I treat them as if they are kids and give them all the extra lovins. I lost my dog a few years ago so this allows me to get my pup time in! I’m currently a travel nurse but on break in between contracts so I’m local. I have open availability through the week and weekends right now I have a home that is close to a dog park I visit regularly that has separate sections for small and large breeds. I have experience with larger pups and smaller ones as well

“Kristen & her Husband gave Oliver a great, safe, social, & loving environment while I traveled for work. Thank you for your help & support! Even grabbed an extra collar on my behalf ??”
“Rachel took very good care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs tends to get very anxious when we leave and Rachel was able to give him the extra attention and love he needed. I could def tell the difference between bringing them to a boarding facility and then this time to Rachel. So happy we found her!”
“Amber and her family were great with my Mika. She sent me updates on how Mika was doing and was flexible as my schedule is a bit all over the place right now. I will book with her again as this was a fantastic experience!”
“Madison was amazing!!! Ranger is a very energetic pup and he had the best time with her and her dogs. She worked with all my requests and sent tons of pictures. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! I will definitely recommend her.”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Erin as very accommodating. Responded promptly to all messages. Sent pictures and took very good care of our little puppy. I was very thankful to have her watch our fur baby and when we go out of town again she will be our first choice!!”
“I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.”
“As always, Ashley took amazing care of my puppy with special needs. She and her dogs made Pearl feel so at home. Pearl does amazing there and is learning to socialize and how to act in a house and listen, despite being deaf. I couldn’t recommend them more!!”
“The communication, photos, and care have been great. We can trust that our dogs will come home happy, which is especially important for our older anxious girl. I’m pretty sure our girls are just as happy and comfortable at their house as they are ours .”
“She took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She kept me updated with photos. My dog was happy and well cared , he looks so healthy . Highly recommend. --- You can adjust it as needed!”
“I am so thankful to have found Melody. My dog, Opal, took to her right away, and she LOVES being over there for daycare and overnight stays. The times are super flexible, and I’m thankful to have someone that loves my dog as much as I do! I get pictures and videos on how Opal is doing throughout the day. Definitely the best dog sitter in Lex!”
“Aubrey was amazing with my pup!! So sweet, sent pictures every day and flexible with times. She had to give her several eye drops and pills each day and had no troubles. You could tell my dog loved staying with her.”
“Addie is fantastic!! We met her twice before we left town just to be sure things were all set— and our dog loves her. We were flexible about where she stayed with our dog- her house or ours- because we were gone for 16 days. She did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable with her. She sent pictures, responded quickly to texts, and Levi’s know how everything was going. Additionally, Addie is a genuinely nice person who is driven in her work as a dancer. We were very impressed with her. We are looking forward to many more trips, knowing our dog is safe and well loved in our absence.”
“Fantastic as always. Hardy comes home worn out every time lol and when I drop him off he doesn’t even tell me bye, just runs straight in to start playing. This is how I know he loves coming over :) Thanks for always taking such good care of my baby!”
“Isabella was amazing!! I was so nervous and it was a last minute booking, but she made it easy. She sent daily update with pictures of him living his best life as requested. She communicated quickly and efficiently. I know Barley had a great time and was treated like royalty in her care which is all I ever want for my fur baby. We will for sure be using Isabella in the future.”
“Laura was so great. She took great care of my dog. She took her on walks, gave me updates on how she was doing, and even took her to get an ice cream cone. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Laura and will forsure use her again soon!”
“Every time we drop her off - she acts like she’s lived at their house her whole life and she’s always chill when we pick her up! Will always recommend Glenn & Terrill for our baby!!!”
