“Rodney & Marissa watched my two 85 lb. Labradoodles for 10 days while I was on vacation. With other dog sitters my dogs had diarrhea for days after but not this time. They were in great shape! I really appreciated the pictures sent every other day. Thank you! I’ll definitely use you again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“We have two English Mastiffs and this was our first experience with Boarding. Our girls have always been watched at home and they’re a big pair of ladies to accommodate, so we were a bit apprehensive. At our meet and greet Heather was fantastic. Her experience shined through; she was easygoing and patiently answered all of our questions. We decided to have a “dress rehearsal” overnight and it was a hit! The girls had a great time, we received loads of pictures and updates and when I arrived for pickup our girls were both relaxing in the den. If our girls were at ease then we’re at ease. We highly recommend Heather.”
“Lora did a wonderful job taking care of our boy Jaxn, and I was worried about my boy, but Lora provided us with daily updates and pictures/video's. Which eased my mind and alot me NOT to be a nervous wreck. Lol We will definitely use Lora again for Jaxn.”
“Highly recommend- they updated us often with pictures of our pups, they have a nice outside area for the dogs to run around in. They were very flexible when our return flight got cancelled and we had to adjust our travel plans.”
“Simon had a great day with Lonnie and the other dogs. He was so tired from playing, he didn't even hop on the couch with us that night. Lonnie was quick to reply, sent pictures and you can really tell he just loves dogs like his own. He also sat with Simon in a quiet space so S could eat his dinner. He has a tendency to not eat when he's busy busy with other doggies, so we really appreciated that. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jena is the best!!!! Whenever we are leaving our dog Ellie with Jena, we tell her she is going to camp because she loves it so much! She always makes a new friend and is totally exhausted from playing by the time we bring her home. Jena truly treats her like a pet of her own, and we are so grateful!”
“Mila is an absolutely wonderful sitter. I give her the highest recommendation possible. She was extremely loving to my dog and even sent pictures while I was away! She's the best!!”
“Ms Kimberly was great. I get pictures on a daily basis. My baby for sure had fun! I highly recommend! Thank you very much again to Ms Kim for caring for my baby.”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Our dog Maizey had a great time with Felice, Ken et. al. Especially appreciate their flexibility in keeping Maizey an extra day due to the unexpected lengthening of my husband's hospital stay. Very friendly and caring folks!”
“They took phenomenal care of my pup over the holidays! He was in great hands! When I picked him up they had even made him his own bandana! I would definitely trust them to take care of my boy again!”
“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”
“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”
“Danielle took great care of my dog while I was away! Sadie was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Danielle was responsive and sent me regular updates so I knew Sadie was happy and safe. I highly recommend Danielle!!”
“Cola was well taken care of for her overnight stay with Auana! I received photo updates and they treated her like one of their own! Even going the extra mile to brush her and send her back so happy :)”
“Hazel always has a great stay with Jonathan and Jen! We can’t thank them enough for putting up with her puppy energy while we’re away. Heck, she usually sleeps for a day or two after stay she has so much fun.”

“Riley was great!! I recommend her to help you with your pet needs! She was great with feeding and medication administration and everything else with my Schweet babe needed!”
“Cheryl was an incredible help with a last minute drop-in. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure our two small dogs were well cared for. Her prompt responses and photo updates were such a reassuring bonus. Thank you!”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”

About: I’ve owned cats for most of my life and have also cared for cats as a pet sitter. I know every cat has their own personality, so I take a patient, gentle approach and follow their routine closely. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, affectionate, independent, or older and needs extra care, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with senior cats and some experience administering medication. I pay attention to details like appetite, water, litter box habits, energy, and behavior, and I’ll send regular updates so you know your cat is cared for and doing well.
About: Hi there! 👋 After taking a two-year break to settle into a new area about an hour away, I’m excited to be reactivating my Rover profile! During that time, my family and I went through some changes — we said goodbye to our two beloved dogs and recently welcomed a playful new puppy who’s now 6 months old. I’m looking forward to socializing him while providing loving, reliable care for other families’ pets - whether you need help with walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or anything in between. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pups. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your days a little easier and your pets a lot happier! I am a stay at home mom and dog mom with a lot of mouths to feed! I am on Rover for not only an income but because I am readily available most days! We would love the opportunity to snuggle your fur babies :) I care for your animals as if they are my own. Love and plenty of play time if that’s what they are into. If they want to be a potato we have plenty of couches!
“Lora did a wonderful job sitting for our cat. We were gone for a week and Lora was very flexible, staying over for a couple of nights with day visits as well. She sent daily updates and photos, which we very much appreciated:) Lora spent time with our cat brushing her, making sure she had fresh water, and cleaning her kitty box. I highly recommend her!!!”
“I have used Aye’s services multiple times, she is wonderful with my shy cat! It gives great peace of mind when going away to know that my cat is in such good hands.”
About: I have been providing cat sitting services for my 2 neighbors since I was 12 years old and have extensive experience managing households with multiple cat.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 30 years. In the past 10 years have enjoyed taking care of my senior Beagles. I'm off for the summer so just about any day works! In the fall, my schedule will allow Mon- Fri after 3pm. Can't wait to help out! I can help you in your home with feeding, walking and playing with your pet. If your pet just needs snuggles, I'm there for it.
“Jess is a very dedicated pet sitter! She made diligent notes and sent pictures of each visit during our 10 day absence. (Drop in visits 2x daily). She made “friends” with our big cat who is afraid of everyone. A big plus. She made special accommodations and arrangements for our pets, when having an emergency issue of her own. This was our first time using Rover and we are very pleased and hope to book with Jess again!”
About: I’ve worked animal caretaking for cats only at a non profit no kill shelter for over 3 years now. I have some experience incase of medical emergencies I’ve never had to give a cat cpr or anything before but I am certified in basic life support and have administered daily medicine to cats many times before
“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 5 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. But I can do walks anytime outside of those hours. As long as you're ok that I wouldn't be there 100% of the time, I'm open to sitting on weekdays as well as weekends. I currently don't have any pets of me own at the moment, but I love to play and cuddle and make sure their needs are covered as well. Please let me know about any specific safety comcerns, so I can make sure I take the best care possible of your furry friend(s).
About: Cats hold a very special place in my heart, since allergies in my family prevented me from owning one of my own. I have loved them my entire life, however, and gained experience taking care of them through my friends' pets and my training as a Petco specialist.
“Jordan is a terrific kitty sitter! She kept my Tommy fed, cleaned, medicated with three different meds, and kept him happy with companionship till I got back from vacation. Highly recommended.”
“Casie did a great job taking care of Tabby for the week while we were away. She was super easy to work with and very communicative. Tabby seemed content when we came home and seemed to really like Casie! Casie also did a great job of keeping Tabby's litter box clean. We're so glad we booked with her and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been a cat owner for 5 years and have loved spending every second with my furry feline. I have been cat sitting since I was 10 years old helping out family members and friends. I have experience administering certain medication such as eye drops to cats.

“Lora is trustworthy, kind and experienced when it comes to animal care! I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was being taken care of with so much attention to detail and love. I will be using Lora again!”
“Lonnie was great! He was so good with our dogs and I felt so comfortable leaving them with him knowing they were in good hands! They had so much fun and didn't even want to leave. We couldn't ask for anyone better for our dogs!”
“Love Rodney & Marissa, professional, provided clear instructions and they obviously love, love, love animals. My dog Bailey warmed up quickly and in every picture she was in full sprint, running leash free as she loves. She enjoyed the other dog’s company as well. Rodney & Marissa kept in communication with Bailey’s hovering Mom and Auntie. So happy and pleased with the service provided. 🥰🥰🥰”
“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”
“Lydia Is an awesome sitter! My dog Bennett absolutely thrives there, she takes him on little adventures he plays outside it’s wonderful! I would highly recommend her! She also sends pictures all the time which I adore!”
“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”
About: With over six years of hands-on experience in dog sitting and walking, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring gentle attention and patience. My services include daily walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and building trust not only with pets but also with their owners. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended sitting, or companionship throughout the day, I treat every dog like family—making sure they’re happy, active, and well cared for at all times. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first. 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, and I structure my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent, attentive care. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I make sure each dog gets the right balance of exercise, play, and rest depending on their energy level and needs. I also build in time for updates to pet owners, so they always know how their dog is doing. Throughout the week, I stay organized by scheduling regular walks and sitting visits in advance, while still allowing flexibility for last-minute requests when possible. I’m mindful of keeping a reliable routine for the dogs, because consistency helps them feel comfortable and secure. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I prioritize and intentionally plan my time around to ensure every pet receives dependable, loving attention. I provide personalized, attentive care whether pets are in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free, while also respecting the space. No matter the setting, I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every pet feels cared for and at ease.
“Amber and her family took wonderful care of Oreo, our Boston Terrier. You can tell they truly love dogs, and their kids absolutely adored him. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such a caring and welcoming home. We’re very grateful for the attention and love they showed Oreo and would gladly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.”

I truly appreciated the attention and love she showed Honey. I would absolutely recommend booking with her—she’s reliable, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. Will definitely book again!”

“Victoria is amazing!! My regular daycare for Lilly was all booked up for spring break and I was stressed about finding an alternative, but it turns out I am so happy 😀 they were fully booked because we met Victoria and Duchess and we are just so impressed with her care. Multiple walks per day, lots of fetch and cuddles, and she even gifted us some super cute dog cookies in the shape of a corgi at the end of the week!! Victoria is super reliable and provides super timely communication and updates. I went right ahead and rebooked for next month when I’ll be out of town. She and Duchess get along soooo well and do everything together and are best friends. When I drop her off before work, Lilly’s butt and tail don’t lie!! She gets so excited when she sees Victoria and knows she’s in for a day of love and attention and belly rubs :) hands down Victoria is one of the best sitters EVER and you’ll know your pup will have a happy time with her and Duchess!! We will be repeat customers!”
“Ken and Felice are awesome! Definitely going to book with them again! :) Amazing communication and planning. My pup had a cone and stitches so he couldn't be boarded at his usual place, so thank you again so incredibly much for coming through for me in a pinch! I'm infinitely grateful and will book again!”
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”

“Jason listens carefully to what I like when it comes to training, as Roarke is in training to be a service dog. He also won Roarke’s affection right away. I would recommend him to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
“Would definitely recommend and choose Cheryl again! She walked and played with our high energy, 1 year old border heeler while we were away. We were at ease knowing he was with someone who could handle all of his wildness. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
“Jen and John are so reliable! We needed a dog walk with only one week notice. They responded within a day. The dogs love them! They walk and play every time.”
“Above and beyond. While my girl Gemma was ready for her walk, my puppy Nico was very apprehensive it came time. Mike was super patient and understanding, taking extra time to win Nico over. This guy is who you want walking your anxious and nervous puppies! Definitely recommend, booking future walks now :)”

About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at a Veterinary Hospital in Frederick and am in veterinary technician school. I have always loved being around any animal/caring for them! I can commute and I am easy to get ahold of! I am so excited to be helping those in need of a responsible and reliable caretaker. I do have pets in my home, but they are loving and open to meeting new animals as long as the feeling is mutual between the animals as far as drop offs. Although I may only have 5 years of professional experience I have years of personal experience as I have owned various animals throughout my life time! I look forward to getting to know you and your animal and helping you in any way possible! Thank you I do work full time, and a couple days a week I do have long hours. I have every other weekend off as well as Thursdays. Saturday I have a half day and every Sunday is guaranteed off. I also have major Holidays off. I have many pets of my own at home and often find myself feeding them and caring for them before myself most days! Some may call that crazy, but it’s just the way I roll! I love all animals big and small :)
About: I have experience training dogs of all sizes and ages. My family had dogs throughout the entirety of my childhood, giving me a deep appreciation for pets of all kinds growing up. I gained further training and experience through my employment at Petco as an operations specialist. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine for the entirety of my life. Whether it was making a special dinner for a picky-eater dog that needed medication, taking a rambunctious puppy out into the yard to relieve their energy, or taking multiple dogs out for a walk to make sure they get their exercise, pet care isn't just an addition to my routine, it is an integral structure to it. I have experience taking pets outside both in a yard and out on a leash for a walk. I have experience giving medication to animals of all kinds, as well as transferring animals into and out of crates/carriers.
“Julian is great with my baby Sully! Sully is very stubborn (but also very sweet!). Julian has been patient with him and very caring. He has done a wonderful job! We will continue to use him for our walks! Thank you Julian!!!”
“Elizabeth is the BEST! Not only does she look out for our Pups, she looks out for us as well. I asked her if she wouldn’t mind taking the trash to the end of the driveway for me because I forgot to. She is a rockstar and did it for me. So helpful!”
About: I’ve always helped out neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family friends with their pets. My simple pleasure is taking dogs on long walks and being outside. I’m currently working part time so I’ll be free for walks and playing with your animals very often. I’m easy to schedule if you need mornings, afternoons, or both! I take dogs on long long walks (at least a mile) I can of course do less if your dog isn’t up to the challenge. I love to play after a walk as well.
About: My name is Lora, I have over 22 years in pet sitting/pet care business. I treat each pet with tender loving care, as if they were part of my own family. I grew up with pets and have experience with all ages. I started pet sitting after our pets passed away. Caring for other people’s pets fills my love tank. There is nothing like the feeling of forming a bond with a pet. We have a huge fenced in yard where your pets can run, play, or just take in the scenery. If your pet prefers walks, we also have a super long driveway where they can get in some exercise. Your pet will never be left alone. I are home full time, so frequent play time, potty breaks, and belly rubs are always on our schedule. I provide all my clients with pictures and messages letting them know that their pets are in wonderful hands. One thing we can guarantee is that your pet will be taken care of extremely well so you can have a worry free time away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can pretty much make anything work for a client. My house is clean, pet friendly, and has plenty of room run inside and out. I care for your pet as if it was my own. After being around your pet and speaking with the owners you learn what the pet loves. So I try to include those special items in the pets day along with sticking to their regular feed and potty breaks.
“Casie is so great!! She gives great updates. I know my pupper gets great attention and love, and is well taken care of when Casie is with him. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.
About: My life is catered towards animals. I work as a Canine Coach at a local small business where I guide up to 60 dogs to have a fun and safe day each day. With my own animals I love hiking, various dog sports, adventures and training for fun. I have fostered numerous puppies for a local rescue and trained them until they found their forever homes. I rescued my own dog and helped him build his confidence, he was extremely fearful even afraid of me and he has blossomed in my care. I currently work at a doggy care but always time to look after your pets. I usually work in the morning so I check in with your pets when I wake up then a few more times after work. My roommate is always home so your pets are never truly alone when boarding with me. I will follow any and all instructions you provide so don’t hesitate to ask. No request is too big and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is perfectly cared for.
“We are so happy that we found Alicia! She is timely, friendly, super professional, and a fantastic communicator during her time with our pup who became a fan of hers very quickly! We will definitely be using her services in the near future and would recommend her to everyone!”
“The absolute best dog loving person you could find to take care of the furry loves in your life. She's so open and accommodating, making sure your doggie is loved and secure with her. She ensures it all fits into your schedule as well. Trust her with pets, house, and all. Love her!!!!”
“I can’t recommend Kristen enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating—sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. I’ve noticed such a positive difference in my dog’s mood and behavior since we started working with her, he comes back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised every time. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs are in safe, caring, and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do, this is the person to choose. Five stars all the way!”

“Rodney & Marissa watched my two 85 lb. Labradoodles for 10 days while I was on vacation. With other dog sitters my dogs had diarrhea for days after but not this time. They were in great shape! I really appreciated the pictures sent every other day. Thank you! I’ll definitely use you again.”
“We have two English Mastiffs and this was our first experience with Boarding. Our girls have always been watched at home and they’re a big pair of ladies to accommodate, so we were a bit apprehensive. At our meet and greet Heather was fantastic. Her experience shined through; she was easygoing and patiently answered all of our questions. We decided to have a “dress rehearsal” overnight and it was a hit! The girls had a great time, we received loads of pictures and updates and when I arrived for pickup our girls were both relaxing in the den. If our girls were at ease then we’re at ease. We highly recommend Heather.”
“Lora did a wonderful job taking care of our boy Jaxn, and I was worried about my boy, but Lora provided us with daily updates and pictures/video's. Which eased my mind and alot me NOT to be a nervous wreck. Lol We will definitely use Lora again for Jaxn.”
“Highly recommend- they updated us often with pictures of our pups, they have a nice outside area for the dogs to run around in. They were very flexible when our return flight got cancelled and we had to adjust our travel plans.”
“Simon had a great day with Lonnie and the other dogs. He was so tired from playing, he didn't even hop on the couch with us that night. Lonnie was quick to reply, sent pictures and you can really tell he just loves dogs like his own. He also sat with Simon in a quiet space so S could eat his dinner. He has a tendency to not eat when he's busy busy with other doggies, so we really appreciated that. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jena is the best!!!! Whenever we are leaving our dog Ellie with Jena, we tell her she is going to camp because she loves it so much! She always makes a new friend and is totally exhausted from playing by the time we bring her home. Jena truly treats her like a pet of her own, and we are so grateful!”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“They took phenomenal care of my pup over the holidays! He was in great hands! When I picked him up they had even made him his own bandana! I would definitely trust them to take care of my boy again!”
“Hazel always has a great stay with Jonathan and Jen! We can’t thank them enough for putting up with her puppy energy while we’re away. Heck, she usually sleeps for a day or two after stay she has so much fun.”
“We used Steven to take care of our corgi for a long weekend, and we highly recommend using him. He reached out to us everyday with a picture and update on how she was doing. We will definitely be using him again! Thank you :)”
“Terry is an amazing sitter for our pup Lulu! We’ve used him numerous times now and are always left with a peace of mind that she’s in good hands. We get lots of updates and photos. And Terry is just a super friendly person! We’ll continue to use him in the future.”
“OMG, Awesome!! Nicole and her family were the perfect overnight host for Rex!! They were engaging and attentive with Rex. He ate up the attention!! I booked 2 more future bookings because Rex and I received good vibes from them, 100 thumbs up 👍 for Nicole and her family !!”
“Niko had a great night with Karen and her family! He was a little anxious to start, but Karen took him on a walk right away to calm his nerves which made a huge difference. She sent a few updates and pictures throughout the evening. When we picked up Niko, he was SO calm compared to when we pick him up from a kennel. That is proof in itself that Niko had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be boarding with Karen and her family again as long as they’ll have Niko!”
“Megan provided great care for my dog and sent lots of photos so I could see how my dog was doing. This was her first boarding experience since we rescued her two months ago. So relieved it was a great experience. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Josephine is great with Nina! She is very responsive and I appreciate that she sends consistent check-in pictures videos. I also like that her home is clean and plenty of space for my fur baby.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
