“I can tell by how eager Splash is when she gets out of the car that she loves vacationing with Sergio. My girl is an abandoned rescue with lots of anxiety but loves hanging out with Sergio. Thank you so much!”
“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”
“Lucy loves to stay with Austin and his fam! She is always nervous when we travel, but when we pull up to Austin’s, she is happy and ready to hang out with her puppy pals!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“Kathy treated our Pete like one of her own, we felt very comfortable knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. We will definitely leave Pete with Kathy again, we highly recommend her!”
“Tara is the best! We know our Frenchie has the best time when he’s with her. She is so kind, accommodating and communicative. Thank you for taking such great care of Oscar once again, Tara!”
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter for our pup! It was his first time staying with someone other than family and we could not have picked a better person! Melissa was so easy going, kept us informed through out his stay, sent pics and videos and even took him on a hike! I felt like he was with someone I knew while he was with Melissa and Sunny! Highly recommend and look forward to more sleepovers for Charlie!”
“Daran is the best of the best. Mac has such an amazing time with him and I never have to worry about a thing. Daran is also very thoughtful about Mac and gives solid advice and suggestions for helping with our pup. Thank you Daran!”
“Rebekah was great with my dog Benny. She would send updates, pictures and videos daily and was very responsive when communicating. Benny loved the walks and the attention he received while he stayed over for 6 nights while I was away on business. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again for my vacation coming up in a few months.”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided intensive care for my own dog following a leg injury, including medication, monitoring, and following veterinary care instructions. I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me. I work a flexible client-based schedule that allows me to check in on pets throughout the day. I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Malerie was warm and welcoming to Prudie when we arrived. She sent several pictures and a video showing Prudie luxuriating on a couch while being embraced and entertained. It was clear she was well at ease and being well cared for, and I am very grateful for that!”
“100% satisfied with Victoria couldn't ask for any one better to watch my dog. Ty is an 18 year old morkie who requires alot of care he is completely blind and wears a diaper and Victoria went above and beyond with my dog. I knew ty was in good hands with Victoria. I will definitely leave ty with Victoria if I ever need a dog sitter again. Thank you Victoria 😊 10 stars from me ❤️”
“Melissa was wonderful with my dog Ella. She kept me updated with pictures and notes every day. Ella looked very happy in all the pictures around the house and during walks. I was happy that her dog and two cats got along very well with Ella. Would definitely book with her again.”

“Jenna is absolutely amazing. This was our second booking with Jenna and our cat clearly adores her. Jenna not only comes to feed her and give her pets, but also looks out for our cat’s welfare and comfort during her visits as well. It is such a comfort to know she is in good hands when we are away!”
“This is our first time using Rover and we have to say there isn't a better option for our precious Lacey. We chose Barbara for her experience. After reading her profile and reviews we thought she'd be a perfect candidate. Lacey can be affectionate but often times she's to independent to bother. With the meet and greet she seemed comfortable and even allowed Barbara to pet her which usually takes some time but it was a sign. Everything went so well. We felt at ease knowing Lacey was comfortable with Barbara. We loved all of her pictures and we could tell that Lacey happy with Barbara's company. We're so thankful everything went as well as it did and we truly appreciate how caring and patient Barbara was with her. We would definitely recommend Barbara she really exceeded out expectations.”
“Haley was so great! This was our first time leaving our baby for the weekend, and having her gave us such peace of mind! She sent us pictures and updates at every visit, letting us know our baby was happy and safe! We will definitely be using Haley again!”
“I was nervous leaving my cat Bowie for our first trip away, and I think Bowie was a little nervous at first too, but they quickly became good friends! Nicole was super communicative throughout our trip, and we truly felt like we had left Bowie with a trusted friend. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will 100% be booking with Nicole again!”
“Jessica did drop in visits for my cat bandit while I was away on vacation, for a week, and she provided excellent care. She was communicative, responsive, and great with my furry guy. My cat is a very active cat and Jessica not only did the basics but went above and beyond to play with and give him the attention he needed while I was away. I will be booking with her again.”
About: I love taking care of cats because of their individualized personalities and how comforting their presence is. My roommate of two years has a cat with a urinary condition who I have watched over on multiple occasions, giving him his medication, cleaning his litter and feeding him twice a day. I have been cat sitting for clients who are only away during the day or for prolonged vacations for about 4 years. I like to sit near the cats I’m watching and do my own thing to show them that I’m not a threat to their space and allow them to come to me. I also love to play with mouse or string toys with cats :)
“Kristie was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and I’m so glad we chose her! Our cat usually takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she went right up to Kristie on the very first day! It made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll 100% be using Kristie again in the future!”
About: Friends and family have always relied on me to check in, feed and play with their cats as a teen. I recently fostered a kitten for 2 months and fell in love with cat care all over again!
About: I've had the pleasure to be able to care for and have my own fluffy friend. I have dog sat for several families I used to nanny for, friends and family. I would be so happy to help you and your pet(s) I currently work a hybrid schedule where I can make my own hours so whenever you need someone I can make myself available any day! I cannot board because I have my own little fur baby but I can walk, feed, and care for your pet. Let me know when and where!
“Taylor was great. She was very flexible with us, responded quickly, and was so helpful! She was great at drop off and made us feel very comfortable, and continued that throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages!”
“Jasper fell in love with Holly. I've never seen him take so quickly to a stranger. They were buddies from the beginning. In addition to tending to his food and other physical needs, she stayed and made sure h had all the play and cuddles he needed. Her reports and photos allowed me to enjoy my trip, knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely work with Holly again.”
“I had such a great experience with Alyssa! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about my pets while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind, and my pets looked happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I got home. It’s obvious she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust Alyssa again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
About: I have had cats for many years and understand their temperaments, needs, and which plants and foods to avoid! In addition, I have cared for cats with special needs--medications, diet, etc. I am happy to come to your home, feed your furry one(s), tidy up the litter box, and sit with them for a while. I send pics for reassurance!
About: I grew up with cats with complex medical needs (glaucoma, cancer, behavioral differences) and currently have 2 beautiful kitties, so I understand that chaos that goes into taking care of these special pets. I am comfortable cleaning litter boxes, feeding, and administering medications on request.

“Austin was Amazing! He took Coco at the last minute and helped me through my first use of Rover. I appreciate him so much! He treated Coco so well and sent pictures during the day. Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”
“Kathy was amazing with our dog Jax. My baby girl was having surgery in Boston and she put my mind at ease taking great care of our pup. Sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which made us super happy! Can’t wait to bring Jax back for another visit!”

“Kevin is awesome! I was afraid to leave my pup for the first time since I’ve had her. Her interaction with dogs are minimal as she is the only child.. she is great with pups but has increased anxiety when she see’s any other pups or people because she loves attention! Kevin sent videos and updates through out her first day, she seemed happy in all of her videos and was excited to go to school this morning! Cannot wait to drop her off tomorrow for another day at school! I will continue booking twice a week! I should have done this sooner!!!!”
About: Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!
“First visit for Otis was a success! Rebecca was awesome dealing with our dogs anxiety in "new" places. Her and her children treated him like one of the family. Thanks guys. Ps: The pictures are a great touch.”
“Justine is fantastic! Justine took care of my dog while I was at a conference, and she was extremely responsive and was constantly sending pictures of Teddy having fun. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend Justine.”
“Carrie was wonderful. My goldendoodle puppy is a tired girl after her stay ( a tired puppy is a happy puppy) There was a nice large yard for her to run around. Carrie was excellent!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. That’s over 20 years of personal, hands-on experience! I’ve cared for puppies, small dogs, big dogs, calm dogs, hyper dogs - you name it. My responsibilities include daily walks, feeding, bathing, cleaning up after them, and most importantly, giving them all the love and attention. I am comfortable sticking to a routine and keeping all dogs happy and safe! I have a 7 year old dog who I treat like my own baby. Friends and family know me as the 30 year old who’s obsessed with her dog! Let my dog and your dog be the best of friends in our FENCED-IN yard! I am a dog-loving teacher! I work 1 minute down the road so I am able to check on dogs for 30 minutes during my lunch. My schedule is consistent. I wake up every morning with my husband to give our dog his morning routine. I am able to go on walks multiple times in the afternoon. I can also keep up with night time routines! We have a FENCED-IN yard where your dog and my dog can become the best of friends! I have two separate rooms if your dogs likes to have alone time after a day of play. I am also flexible to do in-home care, if that is your preference.
About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a partner in your dog’s happiness. With the experience of training and graduating three service dogs, I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every pup I care for. Your dog isn’t just another appointment on my calendar—they’re family, and I treat them that way. From walks to training to daily love, I help dogs feel safe, confident, and understood. Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.” Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”
“SO happy we chose Kimberly! Visiting Rhode Island on vacation from out of town and has some plans that weren’t dog-friendly so our pup spent 14 hours in Kimberly’s care. From the moment she arrived to pick up our pup we knew our little one would be in good hands — our pup went right to her with lots of kisses and wiggling. Kimberly was a great communicator and very flexible and accommodating with changes to our schedule and timing. We are grateful for her kindness and care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Tara was great with my boys regarding my situation of needing last minute support. She made an accommodation to take my golden even though he is on the bigger side and he came home happy. I would trust her to take care of my boys anytime!”
“Alani took great care of my senior dog for the day and was able to accommodate my last minute request. My dog Rocko was happy as can be! She sent photos and was super responsive to my communication. Overall a great experience!”
“I think Brittanie is great and caring for Bijou, bijou gets excited when Brittanie arrives and ready to go. she is wonderfull and keeps me up to date during walks and when setting up visits Dieter”

I'm currently available during most daytime hours and will work with you to accommodate your schedule with your dog's needs. Available on most weekends also. As a fur mom of two, I already have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to zoom! Crating is available for those that need the peace and quiet also. I have senior and puppy experience too.
“Melissa took great care of our Mandy who is a senior dog and needs a little extra help. She was great in letting us know how Mandy was doing and we greatly appreciate Melissa’s communication.”
“we were looking for a home close by to our house where Quinnie could have some time to interact with other dogs in a safe and living environment. Jackie‘s home was perfect for what we were looking for. A large securely fenced yard plus a dog door. Quinnie seemed very comfortable with Jackie, her husband and their three adorable dogs. She spent six hours there and came home tuckered out, but she seemed very happy with the day. Jackie was very attentive and kept us informed. We would very highly recommend her!”

About: I've lived with animals all my life, cats, outdoor farm dogs, small indoor dogs, to pitties that need a warm blanket and cuddles during storms. I like to study animal behavior in my free time and really feel that I can understand animals of any size and shape. I pride myself on being someone reliable to contact on short notice for emergencies and things of the like! I have my own car to get around efficiently and I'm almost never busy. I will follow the rules of the home and any specifics for each pet, I run on THEIR schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
“Kristie and Dom are great! They are so kind, and take such great care of our puppy!! They always send photos while they are there, and follow all the directions I leave to a T! I highly recommend them”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages. I have grown accustomed to a range of feeding, walking, grooming and play schedules and also have experience administering medication. I can handle dogs around other pets, acting to keep everyone involved comfortable and safe. I have lots of free time after classes and only a part time work schedule in the summer. I am able to make time morning, afternoon and night! Until August 15th, I will be living with two roommates. One of which have a cat and a dog who are very friendly. I aim to keep boarding to a minimum until I move into my new space where I will have a lot more room and there would be no. concern with pets interacting and living with other pets that they do not know.
About: I have l had the responsibility of taking care of my home pets ever since I could remember. We’ve always had a full house with dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, guinea pigs, chickens, and even a macaw. I have experience with senior dogs that require extra care as I have one of my own. I have also taken a few puppy training classes that I have used on my dogs as well as pups of close friends. Most of my pets have been rescues and I was able to use those skills to break bad, destructive habits that could’ve resulted in injury. I am currently a full time college student and a part time medical assistant at an urgent care clinic. Typically, I would have the most time to commit to intensive pet care in the early mornings, early afternoons, late evenings, and weekends. My dogs are crate trained and my pets typically spend their nights in their designated areas. In the mornings everyone is opened, greeted with many pets and kisses, and fed. The dogs are walked and trained for a bit before my departure. I make sure to leave a few brain engaging toys/ treats while gone for the day. Once I return, the process is repeated with a longer evening walk and extra cuddle time. My senior dog required a bit more attention with daily injections and a specific diet. I am sure I would take care of your pet with the same care and love I give my pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊
“Haley was great! Our dog Phoebe loved her right away and you can tell Haley has the experience necessary to handle new dogs in new environments. We will definitely be rebooking in a few weeks!”
“Liza is patient, communicative and professional. Our dog is nervous to new people. She greeted him in a way that was appropriate and is building his confidence to trust her and enjoy his walks. She helped me to navigate this app. We feel grateful that Nochi has someone with experience, skill and empathy.”
About: I've had all types of animals growing up. From small critters to dogs. Currently own 2 cats named Sasha and Coco, chickens and have 3 freshwater fish tanks. I've house/pet sit for friends over the years. I have pretty good flexibility everyday for short visits > 2 hours. I have two young children in school so depending on time frame one might have to accompany me but if not needed I can work around it. My cats are pretty self sufficient as cats are but they are fed every morning and evening and get treats. They are indoor cats aged 7 and 8. I feed fish daily and do water changes once a week as Maintenance. Chickens are a bit more daily maintenance with cleaning out coop everyday and filling water and feeder but it's rewarding (especially with getting eggs)
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking! I am currently a full-time college student so I am only available during holiday breaks and in the summer. I take care of my own pets and sisters but I love to keep busy throughout the week!! I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!
About: Experience with multiple dogs and cats at a time. As well as caring for puppies and older dogs and cats. Growing up we always had at least 1 pet but would usually find ourselves with multiple at a time I work Monday to Thursday during the days so I am available for drop ins later on those days. My weekends are free for drop ins and overnights Your pets safety is always the top priority wether that’s outside or before I leave. They will always be left in a designated area if they have one as well as have water accessible at all times
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
“My dog got a cut on her ear walking in the woods, and Brittanie responded perfectly. She reached out to me, we discussed what to do, and she waited for my sister to arrive. Turned out to be very minor, but I was so grateful she was extra cautious and communicative. I feel really comfortable with her caring for my Millie.”
About: Animal care and working with animals is my passion, I've had pets my entire life. Friends and family say that if they ever had to have someone watch over their pets im the first person they'd go to not only to look after their pet but for advice aswell. I can't wait to meet with you and your pet, give them lots of love and all of the care they need and take them on a fun adventurous walk! You will receive frequent updates from me aswell as pictures! I'm currently available any day of the week for any time of the day! I would love to take your pet on a walk that will allow them to explore, they will be able to stop and sniff around for as long as they wanted! I would give them lots of love and play time and if you have a fenced in yard I would allow them to get all their zoomies out.
About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire adult life. I have become the go to for dog sitting among all my friends and family, and even my work place! I have watched dogs from puppy to senior.

Unfortunately at this timeI cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs, as one of my boys has a temperament against them. Male dogs of any size and smaller female dogs he adores! I am a combination of active and homebody so your pet will simultaneously get unlimited cuddles and all the exercise in my care!
About: Hi, my name is Lenore. I have taken care of pets for over 25 years and pride myself in being the best dog auntie I can be! To help owners with consistency in training, I am respectful of your regular routines and special needs. I have had success caring for skittish dogs and older dogs, and I have cared for tiny terriers as well as huge Newfies! I'm active, fit, and enjoy being outside. Thanks for considering me. I always meet with potential clients ahead of time for a free "meet and greet." I also provide loving cat care. (Check out the picture of my "grand cat" MuMu, on the photo page. I have a very flexible schedule and am often available for last minute needs. I am an early riser and have no fixed plans on weekends. I can provide care for your dogs in your own home, respecting your routines, limits, and habits. I do a thorough walk through with pet owners and make sure I get emergency contacts. In addition, I collect information on what the dogs appreciate! (Belly rubs? Tug of war games? Special snuggles?)

“I can tell by how eager Splash is when she gets out of the car that she loves vacationing with Sergio. My girl is an abandoned rescue with lots of anxiety but loves hanging out with Sergio. Thank you so much!”
“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”
“Lucy loves to stay with Austin and his fam! She is always nervous when we travel, but when we pull up to Austin’s, she is happy and ready to hang out with her puppy pals!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“Daran is the best of the best. Mac has such an amazing time with him and I never have to worry about a thing. Daran is also very thoughtful about Mac and gives solid advice and suggestions for helping with our pup. Thank you Daran!”
“Rebekah was great with my dog Benny. She would send updates, pictures and videos daily and was very responsive when communicating. Benny loved the walks and the attention he received while he stayed over for 6 nights while I was away on business. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again for my vacation coming up in a few months.”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“Malerie was warm and welcoming to Prudie when we arrived. She sent several pictures and a video showing Prudie luxuriating on a couch while being embraced and entertained. It was clear she was well at ease and being well cared for, and I am very grateful for that!”
“100% satisfied with Victoria couldn't ask for any one better to watch my dog. Ty is an 18 year old morkie who requires alot of care he is completely blind and wears a diaper and Victoria went above and beyond with my dog. I knew ty was in good hands with Victoria. I will definitely leave ty with Victoria if I ever need a dog sitter again. Thank you Victoria 😊 10 stars from me ❤️”
“My Labrador Gus is by my side everyday. So, leaving him with someone else for a week was difficult. Carrie was absolutely great, alleviated all my concerns and sent daily pictures to show how Gus was doing. When I picked him up, I knew Gus was in good hands as he didn’t race to leave. Instead, he greeted me and then just hung out on the porch. I highly recommend Carrie if you are looking for someone to care for your pet.”
“Jen and her family took excellent care of our dog while he was staying with them. She took him for walks, played frisbee and let him run with her dog all day long. Our lab loved it there! They were very friendly, sent lots of pictures and were easy to coordinate pick up and drop off with. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be boarding our dog with her again. She was wonderful!”
“Kevin is a very caring and attentive dog sitter. This was Finn's first time with Kevin and he sent a timely and detailed update letting me know how Finn was settling in. I'm so appreciative.”
“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”
“We left our 3 month old puppy for the first time over night with Kim and she had a great time! So many kisses, cuddles, and play time with her cute foster pup. Thanks Kim!!”
