“It’s never easy leaving our dog when we travel, especially because he is handicapped and needs extra attention and care. Finding someone we fully trust gives us real peace of mind, and that’s exactly what we found with our sitter. We always know he is well taken care of, loved, and treated like family while we’re away. One thing we especially appreciate is that he can also be groomed and get his hair cut while he stays, which makes everything so convenient. He always comes home looking great, happy, and relaxed. The level of care, patience, and kindness shown every time means so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone who provides such wonderful care, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”

“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”
“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”

When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”

“Melissa is my go-to sitter for whenever I need to go on longer vacations. I like that Mipha has various other friends to play with to expend her energy and I like seeing the pictures of them goofing around (pictures get provided daily). Melissa is always a text away and will answer promptly.”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with.

We've already booked her to catsit again and will look to book her whenever we need someone to look after our cats.”
About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic and owned some pets, so I'm genuinely comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own.
“Amanda was great! Our cats were well looked after and our house was left in good condition. She sent photos and updates to let us know how things were going. Looking forward to having her take care of our kitties again.”

I was so worried at first about her adjusting to a new place but she ended up loving being with Pat so much that when i picked her up she was treating her house as it if it was her own😂 She also became super comfortable around Pat in an incredibly fast period, which tells me she really trusted her!!”

“Michelle went above and beyond during her drop-ins, not just making sure my fur babies were fed and spoiled for atrention, but also helping me out with situations in the apartment where I was not there to handle it on my own. Thank you so much!!”
About: I've shared my life with cats since I was a child and understand that every cat has their own unique personality. I have experience caring for playful kittens, shy or timid cats, senior cats, feral cats, and cats with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following special diets, and providing the extra patience and gentle care that many cats require. My own 18-year-old cat has taught me the importance of compassionate senior care and paying attention to the little changes that can make a big difference. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll respect their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“We were very happy with Kayla’s service of our two cats while we were away for four days in San Diego. She arrived on the agreed upon times on the dot, she was very communicative with us throughout the duration of our trip—including sending pictures which put us at ease—and she was extremely flexible and accommodating to one of our cats who tends hide from unknown people who come into the house. Kayla is extremely warm and cheerful. We hope to work with her again to check in on our two boys. Kayla made it possible for us to relax and enjoy our trip while we were away.”
“Alison was wonderful to work with. She was friendly and kind. She sent lots of pictures of our pets. We felt relieved knowing our pets were in such capable hands. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best!

With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners.

Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves.

“I was attending an event near Michael’s place and needed somewhere last-minute for my little chihuahua-mix (Billy) to hang out. I sent the request only the night before, and was so grateful Michael was so accommodating and accepted. I received photos of Billy having a great time outside with other dogs and he seemed very happy when I picked him up! I would definitely have Billy stay at Michael’s place again.”
“Jacky took very good care of our puppy Tucker! He is 3 months old and she was so kind, patient, loving. We are so appreciative that he was able to hangout with her dogs, roam around the yard, and have a nap time buddy! Jacky was great with food, walks, communication. We are so appreciative to have found her!!”
“Another great day for Nina with Melissa. I recommend her to all my friends and family. Our dog comes home so happy and tired. Thank you Melissa! We think you’re the best!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Amazing care provided for our 5 1/2 month old baby, Yoshi! Yoshi has so much fun at Paola's house and always comes home exhausted! They send updates all day with photos and videos, I am so happy I found them!!!”
“My 6 month old puppy seemed to have a very good day with Erinn and her dog. He was nicely tired out from walks and playtime. Erinn is kind and flexible with you or your dogs needs. And I love that she works with a vet. That says a lot about her knowledge of and love for pets.”

So taking care of your pet with love cuddles is no problem i have a large yard and part of it fully fenced in. I do have security cameras inside and outside to protect all animals in my home. I am very good about sending lots of updates so you can see your pet having lots of fun. I pride myself on being a home away from home! I’m full time at home so i have nothing but time to spend hanging out, playing and spoiling your pet when you are away! I love being outside I have a big house they can come in to cool off or warm up depending on weather. I have a large yard mostly fenced and a smaller area fully fenced.

I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care.

Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention.

“Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!”
“Brenda clearly loves dogs! She was very attentive to Bailey throughout the day. We received several photos and notes about their activity. And Bailey clearly enjoyed his time with Brenda.”
“Our new puppy had a fantastic day with Amy and her other dogs as well!! He came home happy and exhausted!! I was lucky to find her so quickly and for her to be so quick to respond to my last minute need for her!! We will continue with Amy and I know just from day one Jack was wicked happy!! So that means we are!! Woot Woot!!”
“Andreana was very kind and easy to communicate with. She made sure my dog was comfortable and that everything about the experience was to my convenience. I would definitely come to her again and recommend her to others!”
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
“My puppy has been traveling with me a few months now and after using several sitters here on Rover, i can confidently say Katheryn is absolutely amazing and among the best of the best. She was a pleasure communicating with and once your pup is in her care, she goes above and beyond keeping you informed on literally EVERYTHING via text, photos and videos. She asked questions when she needed clarification on feeding schedules and supplied a harness after I forgot to pack one in Myla's bag. She even offered the harness for Myla to keep when she thought she didn't have one. If you want absolute peace of mind in knowing your dog is being cared after, exercised and in competent and loving hands, Katheryn is it. Myla is a 7 Ib., 4 month old puppy and I left her with Katheryn and her very sweet, significantly larger 20 lb. dog and found them both to be the best company for her the entire day while I was skiing in Massachusetts. I cannot say enough here, but Katheryn's level of care and attention here on Rover is bar none and I would absolutely use her services again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
“It was obvious to me that she was having a real good time with not only the other dogs but the children as well which makes me happy to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby”
About: In my house or yours! What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop-off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
About: I’ve had several pets all growing up, ranging from turtles, to birds, to dogs! I have had 5+ dogs that I’ve owned throughout my life! My friends and family go to me to walk/take care of their pets and/or give them advice about them. I am currently free during all time of the day! I have open availability for all week days, and could potentially be available some weekends as well. I will walk your dog for however long you need me to. I have no problem with long walks and lots of exercise as I’m usually in the gym about 5 days a week, leading me to be pretty fit and diligent for things like that. I will make sure your pet uses the bathroom, gets all its energy out, and is happy!

I have a very flexible schedule, so I can build my day around a pet's routine: walks, feeding, and medication times, rather than fitting them around mine. Consistency and presence are important to me, especially for animals who do best with a steady routine. I adjust care to each pet's comfort and energy level, including 30 minutes of fetch in a fenced yard, 30- to 45-minute leashed walks, or a leashed hike if they're up for it (if the weather permits). I stay attentive to their routine and needs throughout our time together, and I also offer baths or nail trims for an additional $20 if you'd like.
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”
About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them.

I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.
About: Hi! My name is Luci, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a veterinary technician student and proud dog mom to three dogs over the years, I know how much our pets mean to us. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's truly my passion. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. Since I'm home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule! This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends.

I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and comfort level, making sure they feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
“Leia had a wonderful walk with Pat. Pat showed up promptly and checked in to make sure everything was okay before the walk. Pat walked her down the road and gave Leia some much needed exercise. Leia had met her previously a while back and took to her immediately again on the adventure of her walk exploring all the scents and sights along the way. It was a cold afternoon but Leia's favorite type of weather with dry ground and flurries in the air and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to get out on a Sunday afternoon after she had been alone all morning. Pat Tolerated Leia's little quirks of being anxious with new experiences and it all worked out beautifully. Leia and I are both looking forward to another walk for her in the future.”

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best! Pet care is not just a job for me—it's my passion and my primary focus outside of being a mom and pet owner myself. With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. With a spacious 3-bedroom home and a large playroom addition, we offer a welcoming and secure environment for your furry friend to feel right at home. Whether your pet prefers the familiarity of their own surroundings or enjoys exploring new spaces, I can be flexible and accommodating to meet their needs. In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves. Because when your pet is with us, they're not just a guest—they're a cherished member of our family
About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.

“It’s never easy leaving our dog when we travel, especially because he is handicapped and needs extra attention and care. Finding someone we fully trust gives us real peace of mind, and that’s exactly what we found with our sitter. We always know he is well taken care of, loved, and treated like family while we’re away. One thing we especially appreciate is that he can also be groomed and get his hair cut while he stays, which makes everything so convenient. He always comes home looking great, happy, and relaxed. The level of care, patience, and kindness shown every time means so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone who provides such wonderful care, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”
“Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.”
“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”
“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”
“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Vignesh from the start. He took excellent care of Olive and was very attentive to her needs. When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”
“Melissa is my go-to sitter for whenever I need to go on longer vacations. I like that Mipha has various other friends to play with to expend her energy and I like seeing the pictures of them goofing around (pictures get provided daily). Melissa is always a text away and will answer promptly.”

Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“This was our puppy Clover’s first night away from home since we got her, and we are super glad she was with Briana! Briana has a great dog set up at her home, it was like summer camp for dogs. She was a fast communicator and kept us updated with funny pictures of Clover throughout her stay. She came home tired from all her playing! We would definitely recommend Briana and Clover can’t wait to see her again :)”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
