“This was my first time leaving my puppy for such an extended period of time, and it was nerve wrecking trying to figure out how to keep Mushu safe, happy, and healthy while I was away. Thankfully, I came across Casey and Phil's profile. Met them and their dog Chloe for a meet and greet far in advance, heard about their extensive experience with dogs, and got to see Mushu interact with them in person. Spent way too long talking to them about anything and everything, and they were very patient with me and my concerns. Casey was also super helpful with reassurances, frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, great experience. Heard Mushu was anxious for a bit because it was such a new experience, but he seemed content to play and receive all the love and attention while he was there. Thank you for caring for my baby!”
“Awesome caregiver. Pleasant and friendly. My pup felt comfortable and did extremely well during her visit. Ciara was great at updates, sending messages and videos. Pleasure to do business, would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a sitter. "I'll be back"”
“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 speak highly enough of the care Amy and Jon provided to my pup. I have a 4 month old pup that I was extremely apprehensive to leave for a week. Amy and Job took care of my little guy like he was part of their family. They were open with communication right from our meet and greet. Amy sent daily photo updates and I could see how happy my pup was in their home. Could not recommend them enough!”
“Rebecca was so amazing with our senior dog! At 15 years old Bella needs a little extra attention and care and I felt so comfortable and assured that she was in good hands with Rebecca’s experience with older dogs. She was so gracious, keeping us informed with daily updates, pictures and videos, I would highly recommend her to take extra special care of your family dog!”
“Alani was absolutely wonderful! From being willing to do a compatibility meetup beforehand to sending periodic updates and photos throughout Kodi’s stay - she was awesome and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“I recently had Illiandra watch my dog, Romeo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, she showed a genuine love and care for animals, putting both me and my dog at ease. She followed all the care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and daily walks. IIiandea was reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. I’ll definitely be using het services again in the future! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Jennifer and Mark were extremely helpful and accommodating. They treated us with the utmost respect and kindness, always with my dog's care being the main focus. If you need to have someone watch your dog, you will be leaving them in very capable hands. It's evident that the care of their own dogs also extended to your dog. Highly, highly recommended!!”
“Breanna is great! She is very responsive and you can tell that she truly treats your pet like her own. Our cavalier enjoyed her time at Breanna’s house and we would certainly recommend her to others.”
“I really enjoyed hosting my Odie at your house, he sent me a picture of him happy, and when I went to pick him up he showed that he had really liked them, saying goodbye to them many times showing that he had been very well treated, if I need him again that's where I would like to leave him again. Thank you”
“Blaine did a Great Job watching my dog for 2 days! I was a little worried about Blaine’s dogs, because my dog is very picky about her dog-friends. But Blaine’s dogs were great with my dog. I think the visit helped my dog with her hesitation about interacting with other dogs. Blaine was diligent in following our directions about our dog’s food. He also sent us lots of photos. I guess the best compliment is that my dog was having such a good time, that she seemed like she wanted to stay. LOL”
“luna had the best time with namrata. she sent plenty of updates and pictures, and in every one of the pictures, luna was smiling. will definitely be using namrata’s services in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Frankie to be while we were away.A fenced in back yard where she could run and play with other dogs.The pictures they sent gave us a great feeling while we away and missing her.Our nephew just got a puppy and we told him we would highly recommend Ben and Sarah.”
“We had an excellent experience with Lakshmi and Shiva as dog sitters for our beloved Leo. They, along with their sweet dog Bruno, provided top-notch care for Leo during our two-week absence. We received regular videos of Leo enjoying his time, and it was evident that he had a fantastic vacation of his own. We highly recommend Lakshmi and Shiva for anyone in need of trustworthy and caring dog sitters. Leo was in great hands, and we couldn't be happier with their service!”
“Anna responded quickly to my last minute request for doggie sitting. Anna was very friendly. I was a bit anxious about leaving my Vinny in a home with other pets but Anna reassured me that things would go smoothly and they did. Vinny made new friends and she was so kind to update me daily with photos of him and his new fur friends. I would 10/10 recommend Anna and co. to others and will be rebooking for future sits! Thanks Anna!”
“Annmarie is super communicative and easy to work with. I booked a three night stay at her house. About an hour after dropping my dog, I got an update on how he was settling in, along with pictures! It put my Mom-dog brain at ease. Every morning thereafter I got daily updates and pictures. And if I needed to message Annmarie, she was very responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Annmarie!”
“John and Sharon were great when watching my chihuahua ruby. Ruby is nervous around new people and takes some time to warm up and they were very patient with her, and even got her to feel comfortable enough for some playtime - which I consider quite the success over the course of only a day! I’m sure ruby will be back to visit again soon.”
“Allyssah did a great job watching our dog! She was very communicative and flexible with giving updates based on our schedule and preferences. Our dog had a great time and was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”

“Kerryanne was fantastic and helped me to have peace of mind while I was away. This was my first time having a pet sitter for my two cats, and she listened to everything I had to say, was very reassuring, and it was simply a fantastic experience over all.”
“Montana cared for my two cats for over a week and truly went above and beyond for them- even spoon feeding one when he was being a bit of a prince about eating. She was very respectful of my house and left everything clean. She even took out the trash and the litter genie bags at the end of the week which I did not ask for or expect! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them that I didn’t have to worry at all for the whole trip!”
“Amara has a good personality. She was punctual. She took a lot of pictures of Reesee and she gave me updates every day which I loved. She took the time to go to the third floor which is the loft to take pictures of Reesee because Reese's can be very shy I really appreciated that.💕 I would recommend her. I'm glad we met Amara!”
“Mandey took good care of our cat and plants for an extended time that we were away. She gave pills to our cat, changed the litter box weekly, brought in mail, and aired out the apartment as needed. Mandey was very communicative and thorough. We’d absolutely ask her to take care of our cat again.”
About: I’ve raised kittens that were as little as 1 day old, i’ve rescued many kittens and found them amazing homes, i have 4 cats myself so i know a thing or two about changing litter! I don’t have any “special” experience with administering medications on my cats personally but i believe with just atleast 1 demonstration i could get it done
About: I’ve had 8 fur babies from my childhood til now so you know the couch is always covered in fur. I’ve loved my mastiffs and labs, tabby cats, horses, and many small animals. I’m familiar with various dog and cat breeds and the amount of loving you should give them, even if it’s temporary. I’d love to care for your pet! A face full of fur is an excusable reason to replace therapy.. right?? I’m currently attending a couple online college classes for the summer, so my weekly availability is mornings & afternoons. No Thursdays. For weekend availability, please reach out a few days before. I hold a calm and happy manner with zero room for bitterness. I treat every animal as my own, with the occasional spoil of an extra treat (just for sitting happy and being cute). Respect goes for the owners as well! Im sure to send you pictures of my time with them.
“Rebecca did a wonderful job while taking care of our pets. Many are older, need medication and Rebecca did very well with their care. The house was in great shape upon our return. Rebecca was prompt with responding to emails and a real pleasure to work with. Thank you Rebecca!!!”
“Kathryn is FANTASTIC! She took such good care of my cats while I was away, I think they missed her when I came back. I am grateful for how well she communicated with me and the time she spent with them and loved all the pictures she sent me. I would not hesitate to request her help again.”
“Marie is phenomenal and I’m so thankful for her help on short notice and over the holidays! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away and sent fantastic updates after each visit. She is extremely professional and responsible. Will definitely be in touch with her for future needs!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, and I’ve seen all the behaviors. From spicy, to cuddly, to those that tolerate my existence. I love all little fluffs no matter what their shape, size or spice level is at!
“Jillian was a great sitter for my cat Nemo! She dropped in one him daily and sent me photos and videos of him. She was always very responsive to my texts and we had no issues with his care. Will definitely use Jill in the future!”
“Katrina is a lovely, highly competent, and thoughtful sitter. She stayed 3 days with my 3 elder kitties and did an excellent job in administering medication, feeding, caregiving, and updating me with photos on their status. What a relief to be away and knowing that all was well at home with the kitties. I highly recommend Katrina and consider her the go-to person for my future!! cat care!”
About: I took care of my mother's dogs up until I moved out. I've taken them to appointments, bathed them, provided nourishing home made meals, trained them to learn new tricks, and trained them on obedience. I strongly believe animals bring joy to a home and so they deserve to be treated with the same love that they bring to us. Since then I've been caring for dogs of all sizes & energy levels. I currently stay at home as a full-time mother so my time is mostly open and very flexible. I'm available any day of the week so I'll be here for whenever you need me. First I gain the pets trust first before roaming any further, usually clients leave me a list and I will complete the list without bringing any worry to you or your fur baby. Im there for you and your pet only.

“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!”
“Iliandra was fantastic. She sent me updates throughout the day and my puppy was actually smiling. I forgot to pack his food and she cooked chicken for him. Above and beyond service. Thank you!”
“I always rebook with Blaine. He’s very nice, and super reliable! My dog Apollo tends to be anxious at times, but he’s always so comfortable with Blaine and his other dogs. He always sends updates, and is very flexible. 10/10 I will continue to rebook :)”
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).
About: I am your pet sitting solution! Your pets are my passion. I am finally doing what I love! Now that I work out of my home I am able to service my repeat clients needs every day of the week around the clock. I am currently accepting new clients due to our indoor and outdoor spaces expanding. One of the most difficult things to do is dropping your furry friends off to an unknown place with a handler they have no history with. That is why I begin with a Meet and Greet to make sure I am the right fit. Typically I become your best friend's second best friend instantly. * Please be sure to book well in advance on school vacations and summer break. In addition, we are one of the few pet sitters that accept emergency drop offs! At my place in Taunton, I have a large fenced in play area. Upon entering the fenced in area there is two gates for security and a large gate on the opposite end for quick access and safety. The large play area is often split into two when we have smaller dogs. Daily activities do not just include playing in the yard, your fur baby can expect to go on structured walks, and depending on the weather we even take them hiking! I also work one on one with the dogs as they particularly enjoy the mental stimulation when working on commands. We love strengthening your dogs rules and commands while they stay with us. Safety is the number one priority that is why we begin with a Meet and Greet. Please reach out with any safety questions. Your Pet Deserves the Best.

About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic with my fur baby and took Sasha in last minute due to an unexpected van repair visit for our camper van. Thank you so much for loving my baby while I was at the mechanic shop!!”
“Elaine is an incredibly gifted woman regarding dog training. She is a gem. Our 4-month-old puppy spent two full days at her doggie day care and loved it. She commands attention from all dogs, small and large, and it felt so safe to leave our pup with her. She updated us with several photos of our pup’s activities throughout each day. She also reinforced some of his already learned techniques and taught him more. Her training advice helped us rewardingly. We will definitely return!! Thank you, Elaine!!”

With a flexible schedule and a warm, family-oriented environment, I make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or walks, I’m here to keep them happy and active throughout the day. I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits well into my schedule as I have flexibility with my part-time work and time working from home. This allows me to be available for walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs a pet might have throughout the day. I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet the specific requirements of each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while they’re with me In my home, pets are treated like family.

“Andrea made sure my little handsome was well taken care of. He has a skin condition that has been getting progressively worse and I didn't want to leave him in a kennel or bordering facility because it's also contagious. My dog doesn't get along with other dogs, but she was understanding that his meds makes him sleepy and groggy. She was accommodating enough to offer her own towels or a couple sheets but i bought new ones for this very reason with his cage. Even though it was for a couple hours I didn't want the boarding facility stress him out and the possibility of his condition to worsen. You can see it in her eyes how much she loves fur babies. She went beyond than what was required and greatful for her compassionate loving nature. I know Hades will be in good hands when and if I need her to watch my lil handsome”
“Kristen is awesome! Our pup Duke had a great day with her and the other pups. He was exhausted by the time he got home! I got pictures throughout the day and knew Duke was in great hands!!”
“Very welcoming host, nice big backyard, kept us updated with numerous photos. Wasn't sure our dog would line being around other dogs but it worked out well.”
About: We first adopted a 12 year old dog from the shelter and at the age of 17, we had to put him down. It broke our hearts and decided to adopt others in his (Juno) memory. My husband and I have adopted 5 dogs since then and they are a great pack. We have a large yard and doggy door so they can come and go as they please. They go for walks and they're very well mannered, socialized dogs. I graduated from Animal Behavior College in May 2017 and train dogs as well and I'd be able to help with training if needed. We've been fostering dogs for over 5 years and love knowing we're helping them become socialized and able to find them forever homes.
“Our sweet deaf pup stayed with Annmarie for the day and she couldn't have been safer and happier. This was our first Rover experience, so there was a bit of anxiety dropping our puppy off at a stranger's house. However, Annmarie made us feel welcome through her ongoing communication before, during, and after the visit, and I felt a sense of relief knowing that our special needs dog was well cared for. I highly recommend this host for your doggy day care needs.”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.

About: I’ve just recently moved back home from Scotland after being there for about 7 years. While there I did use rover as a part time job while finishing my Veterinary Medicine degree. I’m happy to announce I graduated in 2024 and have been a practicing vet since. I love learning from the pets I sit because every time personality is different and each experience can give me so much. I’m happy to cater to whatever you pet needs! I have a varying schedule throughout the week. I work most week days with various start times but most end times at 7.30pm. I’m happy to help owners organize with me what works best for them though! I do not take safety lightly and am happy to cater to whatever needs are required by the owner. I do have family pets at home who don’t like strangers so unfortunately I will not be allowing anyone to be boarded at my house.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends pets as well. I’m currently unemployed so I’ll have plenty of time to go for walks and play with your pups. I’m also available for boarding at any time. I have an open yard so there is no fence but I do have a park near by wear I can walk and play with your dogs. I also have a small dog named Linda that is very social and loves other animals so she will be good company.
About: BOOK 7 NIGHTS AND GET YOUR 8th NIGHT FREE!!! (On your first stay only) I WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING DOGS 30lbs AND UNDER FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN SMALL PETS. (Although I will make larger size exceptions for elderly lazy pups ❤️) Hello and thanks for considering me for your pet sitter! Your pet will enjoy all the pleasures of home and more! We are a loving, pet friendly family that any pet would love to be part of (even if it's only for a short time). My name is Breanna and I have had animals my whole life and simply adore being around them. I enjoyed being with them so much that I opened my own grooming salon several years back and am still enjoying it today. I thought that I could help my fluffy friends even more by letting them stay with me rather then those terrible kennels so they too could enjoy their vacations! Your pets will be treated like part of the family and if you choose, I can offer grooming services as well. We are more then happy to take in older dogs as well as younger and they are always guaranteed a warm, soft place to sleep. Summer is no problem either as there is AC so your pet will be totally comfortable at all times. Does your dog need medications? If so no problem, just tell me what to do and your pet will be taken care of. I do have an 11yr old and a 17yr old so your dog must be ok with kids. We also have two small dogs who are very friendly so your dog must be ok with other pets as well. I am pet cpr and first aid certified through the Red Cross and also a certified pet groomer. If this sounds like a home you'd like to let your pets visit while you are away i would be more then happy to meet you and set up a meet and greet! I hope to hear from you! Note: At this time I’m unable to accommodate pitbulls and German shepherds. Sorry for any inconvenience! I’m a self employed, work from home mom so it’s very easy for me to care for your pets. I make my own schedule and absolutely love what I do. Having extra pups in the house is a huge bonus for me because I’m a huge animal person! I love taking the pups outside into the back yard or for a walk through the golf course we live on. I have two wonderful fur babies to keep your pets company. When inside your pets will enjoy a “part of the family” life style with lots of love, cuddles and lounging on the couch.
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog caregiver having had puppies, adult and senior dogs along with pet care for neighbors and friends.

“Candi has been such a blessing to our family. She communicates before and after each walk, sends multiple pictures, and is very kind and reliable. She was open to helping train our 1yr old rescue dog and provides much feedback regarding their progress. We are comfortable with Candi driving our dog to the local walking trail since our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. Candi is an asset to Rover and I know our pup agrees.”

Routine Care: Providing regular feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks according to the pet's schedule and needs. 3. Exercise and Play: Engaging pets in physical activities and playtime to keep them active and entertained. 4. Medical Attention: Monitoring the pet's health, administering medications if needed, and being attentive to any signs of distress or illness. 5. Affection and Attention (My favorite!): Offering companionship, cuddles, and positive interaction to make the pet feel loved and cared for. 6. Communication: Keeping pet owners informed about their pet's well-being through updates and photos, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. By following these practices, I aim to provide a nurturing and secure environment that meets both the physical and emotional needs of the pets entrusted to my care.

About: I have been around dogs all my life and love all animals whether they’re big or small. My last family dog was blind and diabetic so I am familiar with taking care of animals who needs extra care. I have three pets: a dog (Molly) and two cats (Mr.Butters and Sgt. Pepper a.k.a. Sargento) and they’re my whole world. I currently have a lot of free time, so I can cater to your pet’s needs. I am comfortable popping in during the afternoon or morning if your pets need attention and their breakfast. I always treat pets homes with care and make sure they are cared for. I love to help make pets happy and will make sure they are entertained.

“This was my first time leaving my puppy for such an extended period of time, and it was nerve wrecking trying to figure out how to keep Mushu safe, happy, and healthy while I was away. Thankfully, I came across Casey and Phil's profile. Met them and their dog Chloe for a meet and greet far in advance, heard about their extensive experience with dogs, and got to see Mushu interact with them in person. Spent way too long talking to them about anything and everything, and they were very patient with me and my concerns. Casey was also super helpful with reassurances, frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, great experience. Heard Mushu was anxious for a bit because it was such a new experience, but he seemed content to play and receive all the love and attention while he was there. Thank you for caring for my baby!”
“Awesome caregiver. Pleasant and friendly. My pup felt comfortable and did extremely well during her visit. Ciara was great at updates, sending messages and videos. Pleasure to do business, would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a sitter. "I'll be back"”
“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 speak highly enough of the care Amy and Jon provided to my pup. I have a 4 month old pup that I was extremely apprehensive to leave for a week. Amy and Job took care of my little guy like he was part of their family. They were open with communication right from our meet and greet. Amy sent daily photo updates and I could see how happy my pup was in their home. Could not recommend them enough!”
“Alani was absolutely wonderful! From being willing to do a compatibility meetup beforehand to sending periodic updates and photos throughout Kodi’s stay - she was awesome and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“I really enjoyed hosting my Odie at your house, he sent me a picture of him happy, and when I went to pick him up he showed that he had really liked them, saying goodbye to them many times showing that he had been very well treated, if I need him again that's where I would like to leave him again. Thank you”
“Blaine did a Great Job watching my dog for 2 days! I was a little worried about Blaine’s dogs, because my dog is very picky about her dog-friends. But Blaine’s dogs were great with my dog. I think the visit helped my dog with her hesitation about interacting with other dogs. Blaine was diligent in following our directions about our dog’s food. He also sent us lots of photos. I guess the best compliment is that my dog was having such a good time, that she seemed like she wanted to stay. LOL”
“luna had the best time with namrata. she sent plenty of updates and pictures, and in every one of the pictures, luna was smiling. will definitely be using namrata’s services in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Frankie to be while we were away.A fenced in back yard where she could run and play with other dogs.The pictures they sent gave us a great feeling while we away and missing her.Our nephew just got a puppy and we told him we would highly recommend Ben and Sarah.”
“We had an excellent experience with Lakshmi and Shiva as dog sitters for our beloved Leo. They, along with their sweet dog Bruno, provided top-notch care for Leo during our two-week absence. We received regular videos of Leo enjoying his time, and it was evident that he had a fantastic vacation of his own. We highly recommend Lakshmi and Shiva for anyone in need of trustworthy and caring dog sitters. Leo was in great hands, and we couldn't be happier with their service!”
“Anna responded quickly to my last minute request for doggie sitting. Anna was very friendly. I was a bit anxious about leaving my Vinny in a home with other pets but Anna reassured me that things would go smoothly and they did. Vinny made new friends and she was so kind to update me daily with photos of him and his new fur friends. I would 10/10 recommend Anna and co. to others and will be rebooking for future sits! Thanks Anna!”
“Annmarie is super communicative and easy to work with. I booked a three night stay at her house. About an hour after dropping my dog, I got an update on how he was settling in, along with pictures! It put my Mom-dog brain at ease. Every morning thereafter I got daily updates and pictures. And if I needed to message Annmarie, she was very responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Annmarie!”
“Allyssah did a great job watching our dog! She was very communicative and flexible with giving updates based on our schedule and preferences. Our dog had a great time and was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“Zachary, his lovely daughter, and pup were wonderful to our boy Tau. Zachary kept us up on their adventures/activities, and sent us some cute pictures…one was especially sweet/funny because the first night Tau was relaxing on their couch, lol. I texted Zachary it was like Tau was on a Dad weekend lol. Thank you, Zachary!!”
About: I volunteered for all of my university married friends who had a dog. As a volunteer, I helped feed, water, and exercise both cats and dogs. I was also responsible for keeping their living environments sanitary. but most of all play with them to drain their energy for the whole day which gives them and me a sense of satisfaction. I grew up loving animals all my life. I am also currently a cat mom and I have more personal experience working with cats and dogs of various breeds. I can guarantee full satisfaction to the clients as their dogs/cats will leave making another trustworthy best friend. My personality can be described as very cheerful, levelheaded and earnest. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Jeremy and Rui were great with my dog, Rita. Rita is just a year old and can be a handful, she has a ton of puppy energy. Leaving her isn’t easy, Jeremy and Rui sent pictures of her playing and set our minds at ease. She’s been welcomed back anytime! I would definitely recommend them!”
