“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Kristin gave our border collie an amazing couple of days. Tons of outdoor time, tons of activity, great company with other dogs and lots of pictures/videos shared during the stay. Kristin clearly loves dogs and she made me feel comfortable every step of the way.”
“Novelette was amazing with Brody. She was very informative and sent me pictures of her interactions with him. She even began working with him because he likes to pull during walks. I appreciate her love and attentiveness to Brody. I’m definitely booking again!!”
“Amy was wonderful! She cared for my anxious Minnie Schnauzer, sending me updates and photos each day, and that set my mind at ease. Instant good vibe from Amy. Clean, comfortable home with a fenced yard, and daily walks. I will definitely call her again.”
“Allison is a wonderful caretaker and the sweetest human to boot! My little spoiled poodle felt so at home and happy at his extended stay with her that I don't think he even missed his mum and we couldn't be more grateful for her expert and caring help!”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”
“I highly recommend this sitter! They were incredibly responsive, transparent, and communicative from the start, which gave me immediate comfort and trust. It was obvious how much they genuinely cared for Tahoe, and I knew he was in great hands. Their home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and the updates throughout his stay were greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“We’ve had Kristin watch our dogs every time we go away for two years and would never book with anyone else. She is amazing. Takes amazing care of them, sends photos and updates and is great at communication and flexibility. I could not recommend her more.”
“This was my initial use via rover.com for any services for Chance. I was 3 thousand miles away and did not have a single worry moment. Patrick and Susan were awesome with my fur bag boy, lol. The pics showed how happy he was, I think I need to plan more getaways knowing I have a wonderful place for Chance to stay-cation!”
“So sweet! She sent me pictures of them every other day to keep me posted on how they were doing. She was fast at responding and welcomed my dogs into her home as if they were a part of her family too! When I went to pick them up they were happy and healthy! I will be using Lisette again to watch my pups!”
“Katie is a friendly person. She likes dogs. We boarded our 5 months puppy with her, and it looks like she took good care of our dog. We shall board our dog with her again, and we recommend her to other guests.”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and currently share my home with an adorable, friendly Chihuahua. This lifelong experience allows me to deeply understand canine behavior, accurately read their body language, and anticipate their needs to ensure total safety at all times.What sets me apart is that your dog will not just be watched—they will truly become part of our family. My Chihuahua is very social and provides wonderful, gentle companionship. For safety and harmony in my home, I specialize in hosting puppies, small dogs, and medium-sized dogs only. I strictly follow your pet's routine and send daily photo updates for your peace of mind! I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. My daily routine revolves around pet care. I take my Chihuahua out for regular potty breaks and playtime in my backyard, as well as fun walks around our quiet neighborhood. Because I am always here, I can easily adapt to your puppy or dog's specific feeding schedule, medication needs, and behavioral routines without any disruption. Safety is my absolute priority. Since I work from home full-time, guest dogs are under my constant supervision. My home is entirely dog-proofed, with no accessible hazards, toxic plants, or small objects. Outside, playtime takes place safely in my secure backyard under a watchful eye.To build trust and maintain harmony, I always introduce new dogs to my friendly Chihuahua slowly on neutral ground. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, crate training, and routines. I also keep my front door securely locked and always use a leash during neighborhood walks to prevent any escapes. You will receive daily photo updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and loved.
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”

She even taught our kitty a cute little trick which we’re still amazed by and made sure our home was tidy, taking out the trash without us even asking. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was not only well cared for but truly loved while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals!”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“My dog Milo adores Paul. It is extremely reassuring to see how excited Milo gets to see Paul pull into the driveway to take him for the day. Paul responds very quickly to messages/requests, is very accommodating, and provides me with updates and pictures/videos of the day they had on walks and hiking. I have utilized him numerous days when I need assistance with Milo, and it is nice to have someone so trustworthy to watch after my pup.”
“Okay, I am sorry. Cannot find another way to leave message on Rover. FYI, there is no "3-dotted icon in the upper right corner of the upcoming tab so that I can modify a booking." As Novelette & I discussed this week, I will not need daycare on August 10, 13, 24,27, and 31, or September 3. This is a combination of her and my vacation weeks and will be a rare exception to our regular Monday & Thursday schedule. Thank you for your attention, and here is my review: "Bruce loves visiting Novelette and is making a great adjustment there. She is very warm, nurturing, and responsive to his needs. We could not be happier with how things are going so far. Thank you!"”
“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”
“I’m so thankful to have met Kristin and her fur baby. Kristin was so welcoming, kind and loving toward Mooch, and it was an immediate sense of relief to know he would get the same love and attention he gets at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!!”
“Anna is a wonderful doggy care taker! Our two pups were very happy and she sent lots of pictures of them cuddling and hanging out just as if they were at our own home, not somewhere new! This was our first time using doggy day care for one of our dogs who we recently rescued so we were nervous but we couldn't have found a better person to make them feel at peace. Definitely recommend and will be requesting her in the future!”
“Although it was my pup’s first time & she was super anxious, Allison was very patient with her & made her feel comfortable during her visit. She sends frequent updates & is very pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommend!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care provided by James! Leaving my beloved Max in his capable hands was the best decision I could have made. His attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and reliability truly set him apart. I received regular updates and photos, which eased any worries while I was away. It's evident that James treats each pet as if they were his own, providing not just basic care, but also affection and companionship. I brought him back, I found a happy and content Max, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. Without hesitation, I highly recommend James to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”
“Russ and Jan were amazing with our dog Bailey! They sent daily pictures and updates. They were so kind to work around my work schedule and be so flexible. Every night Bailey came home she was zonked from having so much fun! Bailey looks forward to going back again!”
“This was my first time booking with Vassu. Vassu was wonderful with my dog, Maddie. Maddie enjoyed her large fenced in yard, including discovering her dog door. Maddie was also spoiled with walks, dog toys, and the company of Vassu's dog Ninja. Vassu shared pictures with me through out Maddie's stay. Vassu was professional and made my first time experience with the Rover App a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I will definitely use Vassu in the future. Maddie and I thank Vassu, Ninja, and her family for all the love you gave her while she stayed.”
“Sylvia is an amazing dog sitter! I used her services for two days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. They treated Luna like she was part of the family, and it truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. The best part? Luna had so much fun that she didn't even want to come home! 🥹🐾❤️ I highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Melanie was FANTASTIC! I had to make a very last minute business trip to Chicago over New Year's Eve weekend and I was frantic to find someone for Roxie to stay with all day while I was at work. Roxie has severe separation anxiety so I was worried about leaving her with someone she didn't know. Melanie responded immediately to my request, answered all my questions, and even came to pick her up from my job the first day. I was instantly at ease when I met Mel and she provided updates throughout both days of her stay. Each night when I picked up Roxie, she was relaxed so I knew she had a good day. I cannot recommend Mel highly enough. I wish she lived in my home city of NYC so I could book her for future stays!”
About: I am an elementary physical education teacher who plays a lot of sports and loves to hang out with friends and family. I love playing and taking care of dogs. When I was younger I first started to dog sit for a few friends when they go out of town for the week/weekend, but now I enjoy giving all of my free time an attention to dogs. I love to run with dogs and play with them in the yard or at parks and see the smile on their face when they are playing with their toys!

“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”
“Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him. They’re very Intuitive dogs that instantly pick up on someone’s nervousness or lack of confidence - but Paul comes in with a confident but clam nature that they sense immediately. Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.”
“Samantha was on time very morning to walk our dogs, was great about staying in touch with updates and photos. She was also super patient with our one pup who has been healing from a wounded shoulder so could/would only walk short distances. She was flexible and adaptable to make sure she still got attention. We were able to relax during vacation knowing Samantha was there every morning for our doggos.”

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover since I was a little kid, My first pet being a sweet stray cat my family took in before I was even 5 years old. I have years of hands-on experience caring for and loving pets, my own of course and many others that have trusted me to care for theirs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pets personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away on summer vacation or for a couple days on work. Regardless of age, energy level or if your dog/cat simply needs more snuggles, exercise or play time throughout the day. While I am new to Rover I have a lot of experience with things like daily dog walking, providing medications (pills, topical treatments,) house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking and even boarding pets in my home. I am also great at reading an animals body language which helps me connect better with anxious or shy pets to help make them feel as comfortable as possible. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day, it fits naturally into my routine and brings me a lot of joy. I am very reliable, trustworthy and have a flexible schedule so I am able to work with you to create a schedule that you're most comfortable with. My home is spacious with 2 friendly cats and 2 well-socialized dogs who all coexist peacefully and are used to having new furry friends around for a temporary time. Pets in my home are all treated like family where they receive plenty of love, playtime, cuddles and socialized attention. My backyard is fenced in for safe outdoor exercise or just to hangout and catch a breeze on a nice day, my neighborhood also includes many quiet side streets for daily walking if needed. My home is air conditioned on those days that are just too hot and heated when it gets too cold. There is a big basket on the floor full with multiple types of toys, an easy accessible water bowl that's refilled at least 3xs per day, food or things on counter is not left anywhere that can be easily reached and harmful plants/chemicals to animals are not brought/used in my home.

I can run and play with energetic pets, or lounge with older or lower energy furry friends.
About: I have done both walking and house sitting for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown exact breed but some sort of terrier mix (mom was a JRT). While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.
About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.
About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed.

About: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am not good about updating my calendar. Reach out if you need care for your pet and if I am available, I will be happy to help! I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I've cared for all types of dogs from dachshunds to pitbulls; toy poodles to great danes. No dog is too excitable or too strong to handle. I am an active person and will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise. My husband and I like to make sure all pups end the day happy and tired. With a large yard on a quiet street, you pet will feel right at home here. I work from home every day aside from Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with a lenient job that I can walk away from when needed. I can take the dog out at any time of day, and have a long lunch break for walks, and plenty of time in the evening for play. I've sat many pets in their own home, and have been able to learn how they behave in their own environment and adapt accordingly. Respecting people's spaces is a top priority, and I always make sure to leave a home exactly as I found it. I have a large home with plenty of outdoor space at the end of a quiet cul da sac. The back yard is secluded and very safe. We do not keep food out, and we make sure no plants that can harm animals ever enter the home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with very few cars. Most all other dogs in the area have interacted with dogs we have babysat, and are very friendly and well trained.
About: I've been dog sitting for a little over 8 years now for friends and family. I started dogsitting for clients at the salon I used to work for. I own 2 dogs myself one of which is 11 and the other is 5! I love cats and dogs so much and I can't wait to have my own house to adopt as many as I can! I currently don't own any cats but I can't wait to in the future! I currently am working as a full time bank teller Monday-Saturday at the Polish National Credit Union! I'd love to be available for overnights during the week for your pet and then just go to work during the day. The weekends I'm usually available full time for petsitting! I'm very flexible with what needs to be taken care of for your pet! I can take them on walks or for car rides. I can play fetch for as long as they want outside. Obviously take them out for potty and feed them give them treats. I can cuddle with them or brush them. I have taken care of a blind dog before so I can give them eyedrops or medications as well!
About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one. Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise. We guarantee a level of attention and care that I feel confident your pet won’t get anywhere else; between this and Rover taking it’s fee our prices might be on the high side but they reflect our level of personalized and professional level of care. I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!
About: I have owned and helped take care of pets since I was a child and have worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. I am proficient at giving oral and injectable medications. I am a born animal lover and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I do work full time, so would mostly be available weekends but can be flexible depending on the situation. My job provides me with skills that would be helpful in caring for older animals and animals with health conditions. Comfortable with both dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs of my own who are always happy to have playmates, but I also have ample space and can keep them separate if needed. Willing to come to your place or have your fur babies come to mine.
About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I volunteer with Our Companions in their Adopt a Shelter program spending time visiting and walking dogs in local shelters, and I have volunteered at their animal sanctuary in Ashford walking dogs. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.

“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Kristin gave our border collie an amazing couple of days. Tons of outdoor time, tons of activity, great company with other dogs and lots of pictures/videos shared during the stay. Kristin clearly loves dogs and she made me feel comfortable every step of the way.”
“Allison is a wonderful caretaker and the sweetest human to boot! My little spoiled poodle felt so at home and happy at his extended stay with her that I don't think he even missed his mum and we couldn't be more grateful for her expert and caring help!”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”
“I highly recommend this sitter! They were incredibly responsive, transparent, and communicative from the start, which gave me immediate comfort and trust. It was obvious how much they genuinely cared for Tahoe, and I knew he was in great hands. Their home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and the updates throughout his stay were greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“We’ve had Kristin watch our dogs every time we go away for two years and would never book with anyone else. She is amazing. Takes amazing care of them, sends photos and updates and is great at communication and flexibility. I could not recommend her more.”
“This was my initial use via rover.com for any services for Chance. I was 3 thousand miles away and did not have a single worry moment. Patrick and Susan were awesome with my fur bag boy, lol. The pics showed how happy he was, I think I need to plan more getaways knowing I have a wonderful place for Chance to stay-cation!”
“So sweet! She sent me pictures of them every other day to keep me posted on how they were doing. She was fast at responding and welcomed my dogs into her home as if they were a part of her family too! When I went to pick them up they were happy and healthy! I will be using Lisette again to watch my pups!”
“Katie is a friendly person. She likes dogs. We boarded our 5 months puppy with her, and it looks like she took good care of our dog. We shall board our dog with her again, and we recommend her to other guests.”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“Russ and Janet are great. Sophie was in 7th Heaven with them. Walked and played with and cuddled. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Having just moved to the area, we’re thrilled to now have a go-to sitter for our pooch.”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Brittany was amazing. Our dogs looked like they were at home with her. She provided periodic updates that really put us at ease. We even had to extend one more night and she was great about it. I will definitely consider her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Patti took such good care of our boy for a whole month. We wouldn’t leave him with anyone else for that long. She and her pack are the best! He was so loved and at home there and came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks, Patti!”
