“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sunny is our go-to for the past 3-4 years whenever we need to board Lucky. Every time Lucky went straight into their house without even looking back at us. He is definitely spoiled when staying with them. We really would wish to continually have Sunny to watch for Lucky, but sadly we are relocating to the west coast. Lucky will miss them so much!”
“This is my second time booking with Ciara and she continues to go above and beyond! Pipa is a nervous girl especially around strangers but Ciara assured that everything would be okay during her stay and it was! Within a few hours Pipa was comfortable and cuddled up with her on the couch! Ciara sends plenty of updates (pictures, videos) and responds quickly if you need accommodations made. Pipa absolutely enjoys her time with Ciara and made a new friend with her puppy! We will definitely continue to rebook!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“Casey, Phil and their dog Chloe were absolutely fantastic with Penny, our 6 month old golden retriever puppy, for a week long stay. They sent us daily pictures and updates about how Penny was doing which really took the stress out of leaving her for the first time. They were patient at our meet and greet ahead of her stay and made sure to answer any and all of our questions. Would highly recommend them and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Kaedy, my Jack Russell terrier stayed with Mike for a couple days and had a great time. He kept me updated with pictures and texts. Got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. Will definitely board her there again.”
“Tara provided a great experience for Penny when she boarded. She was very attentive, kept her current on her medications and sent along pictures to keep her mom satisfied she was in good hands!”
“Sarah and Ben went above and beyond while watching our dog. He celebrated his birthday with them and they send us several pictures and spoiled him with treats. Great communication, easy pick up and drop off, and trust knowing our boy is in great hands.”
“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!!”
“Our first time leaving our dog to go on vacation was a huge success thanks to Amanda and her family. Being able to do a meet and greet with our dog ahead of time really helped put our minds at ease knowing he was going to be in good hands. His whole stay Amanda was sending daily photos and updates. You cannot beat peace of mind and reliability. We will definitely rebook again in the future.”
“Jenna and Michael were wonderful. We are also sitters on Rover and probably have higher than average standards for our babygirl Sadie (~60 lb rescue). We first did a meet and greet and from the moment we meant them we knew they were good people. We had already meet four other sitters at this point and were starting to feel hopeless. Jenna and Michael were warm, and lovely from the start. Their home is spacious, their yard is BIG, and their own pup, Chase is adorable! Sadie got lots of exercise playing with Chase and going on walks. I was worried that Sadie would taunt their chickens the entire time (which she probably did) but they handled it with evident experience around this challenge. We would happily book with them again. Even though we had to drive 45 minutes to them, it was 100% worth it. Thank you, Jenna, Michael, and Chase.”

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!
“We’re so happy with how well Kerry cared for our cats. Her communication was excellent. She even helped us with an issue that came up while we were away. Kerry goes above and beyond and truly cares about animals.”
“Barbara has been great with my two cats every time I’ve booked her. Always makes it easier to leave them when I know someone who truly cares about them will be watching them!”
“Justine was very great with doggies. She had great communication and was very punctual. She gave the dogs great attention and took very good care of them. I would recommend her to anyone for services with their loved ones.”
About: Hi! I’m Phylicia. I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it—so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I also have pets of my own, so I totally understand how important they are to your family. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to be available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school vacations. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with—qualities that pet parents really value in a sitter. When I’m caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family. I pay close attention to their needs and can quickly recognize if something seems off. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding routine, giving meds, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m all in.
“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”
About: In my 30 years, I have always had at least one pet in my care. Growing up, I took care of dogs, goats, chickens, rabbits, degus and more. I have personal experience with "exotic" animals such as hamsters, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have a combined 7 years of experience with animal care in a professional setting, including work at a pet store, as an Animal Care technician for laboratory animals and as a receptionist and kennel/boarding assistant in a veterinary hospital. I am a true animal lover and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your furry family. I am available several days a week for drop in visits for new and current clients. Drop ins include let outs, feedings, play time, medications, etc as needed. I am available for live in care to current clients only. There are days that I will not be able to be full time at your home.
“Serena was wonderful all around. She was excellent with providing consistent updates and adorable pictures of Princess. Very happy I was able to find a last minute sitter was who attentive to Princess's needs and quirks. Highly recommend her”

Hazel, Lexi, and Timber love playing with all dogs big or small! If you need help with your fur baby, we would love to help! We love going for walks and making new friends! No matter if your fur baby is a dog or cat, I will treat them as if they were my own and make sure that they each get all the love and attention they need!

I can crate your pets if needed at anytime. When feeding I always keep each dog in separate areas. Dogs are always leashed when outside
“Kim is the cat whisperer! She watched our 2-year old VERY skittish and shy rescue cat Bob, and he was completely comfortable around her. He is usually cowering under the couch and refuses to come out even if he hears a stranger’s voice outside the front door, but with Kim he felt safe and comfy enough to come out and eat. We came home to a happy well-fed, affectionate, and playful kitty. Thank you, Kim! We can’t wait to have you hang out with Bob again :)”
About: I have never lived in a home without a furry friend present. I took care of dogs and cats all through my childhood, and now a dog of my own. Penelope is a 4 year old border collie mix, and the love of my life. I have a very flexible schedule and I look forward to talking with you about the best way to care for your little loved one(s). I am currently between jobs, and have a very flexible schedule. I care for my own dog during the day, but am looking to meet some other furry friends to take on walks, play, and even board. I would love to engage your pet in both physical exercise and enrichment games to keep their mind busy. I will treat your fur baby like my own while you are away!
“Brittanie is very professional and respectful. My boys love seeing her. They feel comfortable around her. I have no problems when I get home. They are relaxed. Will definitely be booking again”
“It was the first time Darcy cared for my two young cats and she did so with warmth, devotion and care. We didn't know Darcy at first, so she came to visit on two separate occasions (!!) to meet my cats prior to my trip. She fed them morning and evening according to their baseline expectations and ensured that the kitty litters were always clean. They played with her and even my younger cat who is very shy warmed up readily to her and didn't want her to leave! Darcy also texted me updates and photos after each visit (so I wouldn't worry). I highly recommend Darcy: not only for the exquisite care but for her warm, kind, caring and considerate personality which animals so appreciate (especially when their families are away). Thank you, Darcy and for Rover for bringing you to us!”

“Kevin was fantastic. He had a video meet and greet with me before booking, which I appreciate. And then he was very flexible/communicative during the drop-off and pick-up process. He sent me plenty of updates on my Willow while I was away with lots of photos. Overall highly recommend!”
“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of and have had my own pets for over 30 years. I have a fenced in backyard, along with trails in a wooded area on my property that make it a great adventure for all pets. I work part-time taking care of animals and I'm always available to give your animals the attention they deserve. I am available most days and for overnight care. I would like to especially focus on families with friendly, small breeds that are looking for a safe place to shelter their pet. I have two friendly pugs that make a great social environment for your dogs. There are many gates/doors in the home that can be used to separate and make sure all dogs feel safe when needed.
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!
About: Hi! I am Lakshmi and I personally have 7yrs of experience with dogs of all kinds. Me and my husband both love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We would love to take care of your pooch while you are away. We promise to provide brisk walks, fun playtime, and of course belly rubs and cuddling for your beloved dog. So that you can have a guilt free vacation of your own :) Our schedule is flexible and your dog will never be home alone for long. The couch and bed are never off-limits. We separate the dogs during feeding times and ** safety is out top priority**. So we make it a point to do a meet and greet for all the first time clients. We have a six-year-old Labrador retriever boy named "Bruno" whom we adore! He is neutered and is very friendly. We fully understand all the hard work, effort, and commitment which goes into raising our fur babies. I totally understand how much difficult it can be to be away from your pet. We will do our best to make your vacation stress free by giving regular updates on your pooch is doing. We both have our own full time jobs and I work from home. So, rest assured that your dog is never unattended for more than 2 hours except when we are at the gym or have some errands to run. We have a friendly dog of our own at home to keep your dog company 24/7. There is no fenced yard but we live in a beautiful community and we do long walks and park visits(when the weather permits).

I feed my dogs twice a day and like to go out for an enriching activity once or twice a day to get their minds going!
“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.”
“We were visiting Florida from NY and needed a dog sitter for half the day. My pup was well taken care of and Linda sent me lots of pictures. I would definitely use her again if I was in the area. Thank you, Linda!!!”
“Serena took great care of Zuko and kept us updated throughout the day with cute pictures and sweet praise for his good behavior. She was easy to work with and communicated very well from request to pickup.”
“Olivia was great with making my little dog Layla comfortable. She took special care in keeping her separated from her larger dogs. Layla fit right in with her children, had a fun day and fell asleep on the ride home. I would schedule with Olivia again”
“Jessica was great! There was a lot of uncertainty about what time I would be able to get my pups and she was very flexible with my schedule. When I picked the dogs up at the end of their stay they came home and immediately fell asleep. Would absolutely recommend having Jessica watch your puppers!”

The most important thing is understanding your dogs behaviors and motivators so we can adapt accordingly.

“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 dogs my entire life and all have lived healthy long lives. I've pet sat for friends and family. I think all pets should have the chance to stay in the comfort of home and be cared for while their owners are away. During my school year (September to June) I am available weekends and during school breaks. During the summer months I'm available daily. I look forward to discussing options with you. I treat all pets as if they're my own. I have a little boy who can't get enough puppy/dog time. I'd love for him to join me and learn more about pet care for when he gets his own dog. We have an elderly dog currently and he wants a puppy. We will be kind, playful, and loving to your fur baby.
“We signed up for the app and sent a message to Angela and Adam and got a response within minutes. They immediately booked a meet and greet. Our boy,Teddy, still has a bunch of puppy energy and can be intimidating to some because of his size. He is 80lbs of muscle and marshmallow. He is a rescue and not much is known about his past so there were some things we were concerned about in finding someone to walk him, but they both were very confident that they could handle him. Their demeanor made our family feel so comfortable. It's been a week and he has taken to Angela and Adam very well. They communicate when they are on their way and when they've left. They send pics that show he is having a blast. We are very happy knowing that Teddy is getting some exercise and TLC during the day and is in great hands!”
“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.”
“Diamante walks my 2 crazy dogs while my husband and I are working and she is awesome! The dogs love her and she keeps me updated on everything! Highly recommend, I feel so much better on days she comes over.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too.

I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family.

I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed.

“Louis did a great job. He came prepared for the meet & great with some treats ready. Neither of my dogs likes strangers in the house - they often take awhile to approach male visitors - they warmed up to Louis' calm approach. He came prepared for the walks as well, with his own backup harness to handle two dogs at the same time. They all came back happy and were happy to go with him for the second round a couple days later. I would recommmend Louis to anybody needing a 'walker.'”

I have personal experience with "exotic" animals such as hamsters, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have a combined 7 years of experience with animal care in a professional setting, including work at a pet store, as an Animal Care technician for laboratory animals and as a receptionist and kennel/boarding assistant in a veterinary hospital.

About: As a current Animal Science major at UMass Amherst and a graduate of Norfolk County Agricultural High School’s Animal Science program, I have hands-on experience working with dogs in many different settings, including training, handling, daily care, and veterinary care. What sets me apart is both my professional knowledge and my genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need extra patience and attention. I understand animal behavior, how to prioritize safety, and I will always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. Whether your dog needs a long walk or simply companionship and affection, I will treat them with the best care possible! I'm currently working part-time while home from college, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your dog with the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. I am comfortable safely crating your dog if needed and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. During walks, I stay alert and am aware of my surroundings, including nearby animals or potential hazards, to ensure your dog remains safe at all times.
About: I am a current college student home for the summer who loves and understands how to take care of any type of dog. As a current owner of a boxer and a pitbull, as well as owning multiple boxers over the years, I know how to walk and take care of dogs big and small. I am willing to pet-sit overnight and multiple days a week and am willing to give any sort of medication the pet needs and fulfill their needs as instructed. I currently work part-time as barista at Star Drive-In, and the shifts are short, which gives me free time to take care of your pets! I work 3-4 days a week, and my schedule comes out weekly, but if requested I will be available and work around my job for your pets needs! I am a current boxer and pitbull owner. I have been walking the pitbull around my neighborhood since we got him, and he can be a handful, but my family loves him all the same. My boxer, unfortunately, has a heart condition where the vet advised against walking him. We have owned both male and female boxers who are great around other pets. I will care for any of your pets needs, and will make your pet happy and entertained when sitting.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive background as a veterinary technician. I started in animal shelters and later worked in veterinary practices, caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience gives me confidence handling everything from energetic puppies who need structure and reinforcement, to senior pets requiring medication, patience, and gentle care. I’ve fostered more animals than I can count, which has given me a strong understanding of behavior, transitions, and how to make pets feel safe and secure in new environments. Although I’ve recently changed careers and returned to school, I deeply miss being around animals. My own pets have crossed the rainbow bridge, and caring for others’ fur babies truly fills that space in my heart. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me — it’s something I genuinely love. I live in a loving, multi-generational home where pets truly become part of the family. There is almost always someone around, which means plenty of supervised attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying with us receive lots of love, playtime, and, of course, belly rubs. They are never left feeling alone and are spoiled in the very best way — with structure, safety, and tons of positive interaction. My goal is to provide a warm, home-like environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to plan my days around the pets in my care. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to accommodate overnight stays, drop-ins, or daytime care. If you need something specific, just reach out — I’m always willing to see if we can make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I have a large yard for leashed walks and supervised outdoor time. We also have a wonderful, quiet area right on my street that’s perfect for longer, structured walks. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m very comfortable monitoring behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and administering medications if needed. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely to keep them feeling secure and at ease. While you’re away, your pet won’t just be “watched” — they’ll be cared for, exercised, and loved like part of the family. I truly aim to give them a safe, happy experience that feels like their own little vacation.
“Wyatt had a great time with Amanda today ! She took him for a nice long walk and let him explore the Freetown Forrest! She returned him home safely, gave him a snack and locked up the house for us ! Dependable and trustworthy! Thanks for another great visit ! 🐾”
“Dependable, kind and most importantly Blue loves her. Our situation at the time meant we didn’t meet her first. Trusted the app and now trust Ixia with our most cherished family member. Thank you”

About: I have never lived in a home without a furry friend present. I took care of dogs and cats all through my childhood, and now a dog of my own. Penelope is a 4 year old border collie mix, and the love of my life. I have a very flexible schedule and I look forward to talking with you about the best way to care for your little loved one(s). I am currently between jobs, and have a very flexible schedule. I care for my own dog during the day, but am looking to meet some other furry friends to take on walks, play, and even board. I would love to engage your pet in both physical exercise and enrichment games to keep their mind busy. I will treat your fur baby like my own while you are away!

“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“Sunny is our go-to for the past 3-4 years whenever we need to board Lucky. Every time Lucky went straight into their house without even looking back at us. He is definitely spoiled when staying with them. We really would wish to continually have Sunny to watch for Lucky, but sadly we are relocating to the west coast. Lucky will miss them so much!”
“This is my second time booking with Ciara and she continues to go above and beyond! Pipa is a nervous girl especially around strangers but Ciara assured that everything would be okay during her stay and it was! Within a few hours Pipa was comfortable and cuddled up with her on the couch! Ciara sends plenty of updates (pictures, videos) and responds quickly if you need accommodations made. Pipa absolutely enjoys her time with Ciara and made a new friend with her puppy! We will definitely continue to rebook!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“Casey, Phil and their dog Chloe were absolutely fantastic with Penny, our 6 month old golden retriever puppy, for a week long stay. They sent us daily pictures and updates about how Penny was doing which really took the stress out of leaving her for the first time. They were patient at our meet and greet ahead of her stay and made sure to answer any and all of our questions. Would highly recommend them and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Kaedy, my Jack Russell terrier stayed with Mike for a couple days and had a great time. He kept me updated with pictures and texts. Got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. Will definitely board her there again.”
“Sarah and Ben went above and beyond while watching our dog. He celebrated his birthday with them and they send us several pictures and spoiled him with treats. Great communication, easy pick up and drop off, and trust knowing our boy is in great hands.”
“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!!”
“Jenna and Michael were wonderful. We are also sitters on Rover and probably have higher than average standards for our babygirl Sadie (~60 lb rescue). We first did a meet and greet and from the moment we meant them we knew they were good people. We had already meet four other sitters at this point and were starting to feel hopeless. Jenna and Michael were warm, and lovely from the start. Their home is spacious, their yard is BIG, and their own pup, Chase is adorable! Sadie got lots of exercise playing with Chase and going on walks. I was worried that Sadie would taunt their chickens the entire time (which she probably did) but they handled it with evident experience around this challenge. We would happily book with them again. Even though we had to drive 45 minutes to them, it was 100% worth it. Thank you, Jenna, Michael, and Chase.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Roxy was a godsend! My dog Whitney loved her and was so comfortable in her lovely home. Whitney needed medications and assistance with a sore leg, which she professionally accommodated. It is hard to part from your beloved pets, but Roxy made this as stress free as possible.”
“Carrie was wonderful, our dog Dixie, had a great time. It was a great comfort to know she was safe and happy. Lots of pupdates and pictures to assure us. I would definitely take Dixie to stay Carrie again”
