“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Lana and her husband took amazing care of our dog, Athena, for two weeks while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They’re wonderful, caring people with an awesome yard, and we felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“LaTasha provided such great care to Deuce. The videos and pictures sent each day helped me in knowing that he was having fun and in a safe place. I will absolutely use her services again.”
“This was my first experience with a dog sitter, and I must admit I was a little nervous. However, Elissa was incredibly reliable; she sent updates and photos, which really brightened my day and helped ease my worries. I appreciate her taking such good care of my dog, especially on such short notice. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“Rena did an awesome job caring for my Doberman puppy, Prince. We were nervous about dropping him off since this would be his first time away from us overnight; but we were reassured that Prince was in good hands through frequent communication and pictures. I can tell Prince enjoyed himself and I am 100% happy with the care Rena provided. I highly recommend and I personally intend to book with Rena again in the future!”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“Lilian was absolutely fantastic! It was such a relief having our Izzy stay with her. We loved all the updates and care they gave her while we were gone. We would most definitely have Lilian watch our Izzy again!”
“Loki's stay with Giovanni & Vanessa was beyond what we could imagine. We truly enjoyed getting to know them during our meet and greet and seeing how Loki connected with them. Loki was spoiled with love, attention and bits of training. We recieved daily updates of Loki and we really enjoyed the videos. We would definitely book with them again as it was obvious Loki had lots of fun and felt comfortable with them. Thanks so much Giovanni & Vanessa you guys are awesome!”
“As a repeat customer, I completely feel comfortable leaving my baby with Monica. She keeps me informed about every single detail while I'm away and sends a cute detailed "report card" every evening. Thank you, Monica! I truly appreciate you.”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”
“I can tell Breeze had a blast with his daily walks and play time. Would definitely recommend Beauty. She is flexible, very responsive, and made my weekend get away convenient.”
“Tanita & Terrence were amazing with my fur baby Maxx! He stayed overnight and they took the best care of Maxx and treated him like family. They are very responsive and shared a photo of Maxx during his stay. Additionally when an emergency occurred while picking up Maxx they were patient and accommodating! Looking forward to booking with Tanita & Terrence again in the future.”
“Taylor was great. She was loving, accommodating, knowledgeable and trustworthy. She kept the pictures and videos coming, constantly giving us updates on how much fun our fur baby was having. We will definitely rebook with her again.”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”
“Atiyana is a lifesaver! She took our last minute request to board our boy. She kept us updated while we were away and I know our boy had an awesome time. Will use her again ❤️”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”

“Aleyah was good with our two senior cats. She was always prompt and made a point to come by before her first visit to meet them. She is always super prompt with communication and scheduling.”
“Summer was awesome. She came by early to meet the dogs and learn our daily routine with the dogs. Our younger dog was a bit difficult, and she is very scared of new people. But Summer was very patient and worked hard to keep Skye with going outside to potty and to eat. Towards the end of the week Skye finally came around to Summer and they seemed very happy to see Summer come in the house, based on photos sent. Thank you for your help!!”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
“Aliyah was a treasure. She was ready to go from booking. Blue adapted well to her and enjoyed her special cuddles!! She had great communication and was very accommodating!! We will definitely use her again!”
“Synia A. was fantastic! She was kind, dependable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire pet-sitting experience. She met all my requirements and made sure all of my pet needs were taken care of as well. She also has great communication skills and gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services.”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
“Linda was great! Super responsive, wonderful with the dogs, and sent great pictures so we could see them throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“She was great, friendly, responsive, and made sure my cats were stress free and loved while I was gone. Even though I cut my trip short, I would book with her again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats with a range of personalities, from social and playful to more independent or shy. As a cat owner myself (my cat Louisville aka Louis is about 3), I understand how important it is to respect their space, routines, and unique quirks. I’m especially comfortable with cats who need a slower, more patient approach. I take time to build trust at their pace, whether that means engaging in play, offering affection when they’re ready, or simply being a calm presence nearby. I’m experienced with daily care routines including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and enrichment. I also pay close attention to behavior and subtle changes, since cats can be great at hiding when something feels off. I’m happy to provide detailed updates and photos, so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Breanna is AMAZING with my big baby boy 🐕!!! We are beyond Lucky to have found her! She goes above and beyond and is like a Dog Whisperer lol! My German Shepherd LOVES her and she’s his new bestie. I hope I can keep Breanna forever! 5 stars Highly recommend- she’s Wonderful!! 😁”
“Chanel did a fantastic job dropping in on my cat! She is very professional and communicative and followed all instructions. She played with my cat and sent great photos every day, so I knew my he was being well taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend her pet sitting services!”

About: I have had my baby Dakota for 6 years, ever since she was a pup! I have seen all stages and loved her through them all. I would love to provide that same love to your baby when you are not around! After having Dakota, I definitely understand the term “a dog is a man’s best friend”.

“It feels like Max is part of the fam - he’s a godsend!! We’re so grateful to have found him!!! Our cat normally hides from new people, but Max knew just how to give that TLC and now they’r BFFs. Thanks Max!”
“Destiny was on time, provided details about her care of my Fancee and pictures. I really appreciate how she handled Fancee with her minor leg injury and just how professional she was. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our baby girl (kitty cat)! She is friendly, responsible, respectful, and very professional. This was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous to have a stranger take care of my precious kitty, but I am so glad I took the risk. Christina sent pictures and notes with each visit. She impressed me at our meet and greet by asking important questions, which showed me she has attention to detail and an ability to anticipate needs. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Christina!”

“I can’t say enough great things about English! She has watched my dog on multiple occasions, and I’ve had a wonderful experience every time. One thing I especially appreciate is her excellent communication throughout the entire stay. She keeps me updated with plenty of pictures and detailed information about my dog’s day, including walks, potty breaks, meals, and activities. I never have to wonder how things are going because she makes sure I’m kept in the loop. English is reliable, attentive, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Her updates give me so much peace of mind while I’m away, and I always feel confident knowing my dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and would highly recommend English to anyone looking for a dependable and communicative dog sitter!”
“Kelly is great with Bella, she has been Bella's sitter for about 2 weeks and she loves going to doggy day care with Kelly. When I drop Bella off to Kelly, she can't wait to get out of the car. I'm very happy that she thoroughly enjoys herself with Kelly, I would definitely recommend her dog care services.”
“Nina Love Cindy and her family since the first day. Nina felt at home and she was excited to see Cindy the next days. Cindy maintained communication with us a couple of days before the booking and she sent me a couple of updates every day. She took Nina for walks, plays in the park and she went above and beyond while taking care of Nina. We and my family enjoyed our vacation time knowing Nina was in good hands. If you’re in the area or live in the area and you want your pet to be safe and taken care of I recommend you Cindy. Thank you again!”
“My 13 year old Pumpkin is having a blast at Tanita and Terrence's home. I can tell Pumpkin is really enjoying being there and she'll be going back soon! Thanks for taking good care of her!”
“Loved the pictures. Loved the location. She was well taken of and loved. I felt very comfortable leaving my girl. It was her first day of doggy daycare and we will 100% be rebooking!”
“This was my first experience leaving my pup with a sitter. Ms Tarressa was awesome. She made us feel so welcomed. I would surely use her again and again. Totally recommend.”
About: I've been in veterinary medicine for 12 years. I am comfortable around all pets, no matter the breed or personality. I have two giant breed diggitys and I understand how hard it is to find safe care for your fur babies. We live in a noise free environment , zero cars, zero sirens etc. I am fear free certified and can handle nervous nellies and their needs very well. I'm currently working remotely and homeschool. The house is full of good energy. Since we have children and other pets/animals we are up as early as 5am in the morning and last walks are around 8p. If it is a weekend and we are staying up later in the night than walks could be as late as 10pm. It does depend on the pet also. My dogs are pet friendly however because of their size some other dogs don't take to them. My personal dogs have their own room and crate. We have multiple free spaces for up to 10 dogs small and or 5 dogs small/medium large. We live on 73 acres with 4 hiking trails. The dogs and ducks definitely get their exercise. If you have a senior pet or a pet that does better away from children or other pets, we can accommodate that as well. I am currently working remotely with some days in clinic. Between myself and my nephew someone is always home. We also homeschool so the house is always active. We have tons of space so if your pet doesn't do well with "active" we can accommodate that as well. With all the land and space we can easily go on 4-5 mile scenic walks. We can also let dogs who have name recall roam free (supervised). We live on 73 acres, very secluded. Our noise level is zero. There aren't cars driving by, sirens etc. We have a few hiking trails that have been cleared. We also have a room specific for dog sitting in our home. We can make it feel like home or have the approach of a normal boarder. We do ask that all pets are at minimum rabies vaccinated. This is the only vaccine legally required in the state of Maryland. We also ask that for boarding , you provide a favorite toy and t-shirt to help minimize anxiety and stress. We have calming plug ins in certain areas of the house to help decrease anxiety as well.
“Chris and Kelly are extremely sweet, understanding, loving and caring. If you choose them as a sitter your baby will be in safe/loving hands. I look forward to using their services again!”
About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.
“This was my very first-time using Rover, and when I say I am overly pleased. Richardine is AWESOME! I was so nervous to use the service because I had just had a pup pass away, and I did not know what I was going to do going forward. I did a meet and greet with Richardine, and I knew at that moment, my pup will be with Richardine each time I will need a sitter. Very personable, reliable, and made sure I received photos throughout the day to let me know what my pup was doing. Once I picked my pup up, she was playing, and happy. I am truly overjoyed with the service that I received. Thank you so much Richardine, and I will see you very soon. Latisha M.”
About: I have a 12 year old yorkie/havenese named daisy. She has been in our care since she was 1 y/o so i'm aware of dog care in all stages from puppy to senior dogs. Growing up my family/friends have always chosen me to be responsible and care for their animals so i thought why not spread the love? Ramon has also been in care of plenty of his family dogs growing up as well! There was always no less than 4 dogs in the house at a time. We love dogs so much and there will be an abundance of love to go around with my family. We can't wait to play with our new furry friends. My boyfriend and i have plenty of time through out the week together to care for your beloved pets! I have a full time job so i help where i can but my boyfriend is currently in school and has plenty of time in between classes to care for your furry friends! In our house, my partner ramon and i try to create a warm, inviting, and loving atmosphere. With my senior yorkie mix along with my 2 young cats we have everything your furry friend may want or need: toy galore, bottomless treats, long walks, and all the affection in the world. From long boarding/ house sitting to as small as a walk we aim to provide care to your furry loved ones just as they were one of ours! <3
About: I get along with animals pretty naturally. I do a lot of sitting for family and friends when they go on vacation. Giving love and care to your fur baby takes a lot of time and the DMV has a lot of traffic. It takes a village! I can pop in or stay over to make sure all physical and emotional needs are taken care of. I am a fitness instructor. My schedule changes and is flexible as long as I am given notice and clear instructions. I do not work full time. I do not have a fenced in yard, but can keep a crate. It is a townhouse so limited space, but plenty of parks and areas to walk your fur baby.

“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”
“She was AMAZING! I booked her and she walked me through the process, answered any questions I had - took great care of my baby and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Morgan took great care of my dog Jag. His communication with me was fantastic, he took photos, provided me with updates, and looked after him very well. Morgan was good enough to stop by to do a meet and greet with my dog to make sure that they got along before watching him, which I very much appreciated. I highly recommend Morgan!!”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet.

I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I currently have a German Shepherd, with alot of energy and a cat who matches that energy, so high energy pets are no problem! I can handle all types of dogs both large and small, young and senior, and enjoy walking them. I'm experienced at delivering medication if needed and I'm happy to feed, walk, play with and care for your animals. My time is flexible during the weekdays and I can be available on most weekends if needed. My goal is to help your animal feel at ease by providing the same loving care you would for them. I've been recently laid off so this has given me more time with my dog Calla. She is walked every day for approximately 3 miles. She loves playing with sticks and toys and also her little brother Jinx the American short haired cat. With this available extra time it gives me flexible hours for house visits and walking throughout the week and some weekends. Both my wife and I care for both of our pets daily which includes walking and playing with them. I am also capable of feeding your pet and administering medications if needed.
About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my friends and family dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from large breeds like German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Corgis. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, couch loving dogs, playful puppies, and affectionate companions, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, and making every pet feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I recently graduated high school so my schedule is very flexible and open to provide routine dependable care for home and your pets while you are away. I always make your pets safety and well being a top priority by keeping pets in a stable safe environment including outside in yards, on walks, as well as inside their home.
About: I have a 12 year old yorkie/havenese named daisy. She has been in our care since she was 1 y/o so i'm aware of dog care in all stages from puppy to senior dogs. Growing up my family/friends have always chosen me to be responsible and care for their animals so i thought why not spread the love? Ramon has also been in care of plenty of his family dogs growing up as well! There was always no less than 4 dogs in the house at a time. We love dogs so much and there will be an abundance of love to go around with my family. We can't wait to play with our new furry friends. My boyfriend and i have plenty of time through out the week together to care for your beloved pets! I have a full time job so i help where i can but my boyfriend is currently in school and has plenty of time in between classes to care for your furry friends! In our house, my partner ramon and i try to create a warm, inviting, and loving atmosphere. With my senior yorkie mix along with my 2 young cats we have everything your furry friend may want or need: toy galore, bottomless treats, long walks, and all the affection in the world. From long boarding/ house sitting to as small as a walk we aim to provide care to your furry loved ones just as they were one of ours! <3
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and professionally. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My professional experience includes dog training and bathing/grooming, and I am also accredited through PetSmart while currently working toward becoming a certified groomer. This ongoing training continues to strengthen my understanding of canine behavior, body language, handling techniques, and how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra exercise and attention, or another type of care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their individual personality and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time as a professional dog bather, typically 15–20 hours per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other services throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Because my work is already centered around caring for dogs, I’m comfortable working with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for your dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routines as consistent as possible and treating your space with the same respect I would my own. For walks, I’ll stay in familiar local areas and use safe, vetted trails that are appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I have professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including bathing and training, so I’m comfortable paying attention to body language, behavior, and potential safety concerns. I’ll always follow your instructions, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure your pet receives attentive, dependable care while you’re away.
About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~20 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*

“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Lana and her husband took amazing care of our dog, Athena, for two weeks while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They’re wonderful, caring people with an awesome yard, and we felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was my first experience with a dog sitter, and I must admit I was a little nervous. However, Elissa was incredibly reliable; she sent updates and photos, which really brightened my day and helped ease my worries. I appreciate her taking such good care of my dog, especially on such short notice. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“Lilian was absolutely fantastic! It was such a relief having our Izzy stay with her. We loved all the updates and care they gave her while we were gone. We would most definitely have Lilian watch our Izzy again!”
“Loki's stay with Giovanni & Vanessa was beyond what we could imagine. We truly enjoyed getting to know them during our meet and greet and seeing how Loki connected with them. Loki was spoiled with love, attention and bits of training. We recieved daily updates of Loki and we really enjoyed the videos. We would definitely book with them again as it was obvious Loki had lots of fun and felt comfortable with them. Thanks so much Giovanni & Vanessa you guys are awesome!”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”
“Tanita & Terrence were amazing with my fur baby Maxx! He stayed overnight and they took the best care of Maxx and treated him like family. They are very responsive and shared a photo of Maxx during his stay. Additionally when an emergency occurred while picking up Maxx they were patient and accommodating! Looking forward to booking with Tanita & Terrence again in the future.”
“Taylor was great. She was loving, accommodating, knowledgeable and trustworthy. She kept the pictures and videos coming, constantly giving us updates on how much fun our fur baby was having. We will definitely rebook with her again.”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”
“Atiyana is a lifesaver! She took our last minute request to board our boy. She kept us updated while we were away and I know our boy had an awesome time. Will use her again ❤️”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Our dog lovvvveddddddddd Saniyya. Really comfortable with her. Saniyya treated our dog with so much care and love. Including communicating with us. I look forward to using her again.”
“Sarah was awesome! She sent cute pics of my 2 cats frequently during their stay and was super understanding and flexible of any changes I needed to make for their stay at her home. She responded promptly to all of my messages and was helpful with drop off and pick up of my pets. Definitely would try to use her services again if possible.”
“OMG Brian's house is the BEST! Huge is usually pretty shell-shocked to be left behind. But this time was different. When we got to the house, Hugo jauntily walked right up to the right place, stopped to pee on a bush, and cruised right on in like he owned the place. I've never seen him so immediately at home in a strange house. He briefly greeted Bob and then explored. It was amazing. Brian has a very laid-back, positive vibe that transmits to people and to dogs. He is also very good at judging personalities and knowing how much affection and attention a dog is going to need. I hope he always has room for Hugo whenever we travel to DC!”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Exceeded my expectations! This dynamic duo is truly a dream team. They took very good care of my Tyson since the meet and greet! They are very communicative and will send you as little or as many updates as you can take. This was my first time away from my baby and it’s warming to find out I was the one with separation anxiety while he had a friend and a safe space to be a dog! Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services again!”
