“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.”
“Karen was extremely nice, very welcoming of our pup Milo! she kept me updated with videos and pics which really showed how happy and safe Milo was! I really recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her in a future😊😊”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Kelly was amazing with Crash. She and her family had Crash for a full month... and he was clearly a happy Dog. When he is stressed he loses hair on his side, that did not happen!!! And his first night/day home, We think he was depressed b/c he missed Kelly and her Family.. She Truly kept us informed, sent pictures and was just such a peace in our hearts to have Crash so happy. We will use Kelly again!!”
“Michelle was a great sitter for Milo. She sent pictures daily and communicated how he was doing. Milo got along great with her dog which is always a plus to have a playmate. Highly recommend Michelle for boarding.”
“Min and Matthew were exceptional sitters for my girl, Rani! Not only did they play with her endlessly (seriously, Rani has zero ability to self-regulate and they went with it!), they also cared for her as their own pup. When she was being finicky about eating, Min took the time to spoon feed her just like I do. Min also send so many pictures and videos, which helped me feel so at peace knowing Rani was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely be sending Rani back to Min and Matthew’s in the future…the 40 minute drive to/from our place is more than worth it!”
“Jennifer and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. She kept me informed and he had a great time. I’m not sure he wanted to come home as he had so much fun. We will definitely use her again.”
“This is the third time we’ve had Sophia watch Shiloh, and I can guarantee it won’t be the last. She provided Shiloh with excellent care, and gave frequent updates! It was great to know that Shiloh was in good hands!”
“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“Nat & Ally were amazing. We felt so comfortable leaving our baby June (an 80lb bernadoodle) with them. They sent pictures everyday that made us so happy to see how much love they were showing her. We will definately be repeat customers. Thank you so much Nat & Ally”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Jennifer is great with our pitbull Kato. He is so excited to go to her house every time we take him there he doesnt even say goodbye! She has toys for him to play with and always sends pictures to let us know how he is doing. He has stayed with Jennifer many time and she is always available in short notice.”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“Ali was wonderful with Penny, we received daily photos and communication for two weeks. Penny felt right at home, she looked happy, relaxed and well taken care of. Penny came home bathed and with a a sweet note and new toy. We have found Penny’s home away from home and will be rebooking soon. Highly recommend Ali to take care of your fur babies.”
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“both of our dogs seemed well cared for. His property has plenty of space for the dogs to run and he took them for walks in the woods, which I’m sure they enjoyed. I would consider boarding our dogs with him again.”
“Evvery is amazing! She took such great care of my dog even in this difficult winter weather with snow and ice covering the ground, and especially giving her special care when she got a small cut on her paw. Excellent communication with both photo and video updates. Thank you again Evvery!! : )”
“Can’t say enough about how much my Fur baby loves her second home. Always treated like she is their own full of love and affection. Trusting these two with your animal is the best decision you can make. They are are wonderful.”
“Alex and Christina are totally awesome people!! Back in June, my son and I spontaneously went out of town, we needed to find a place for our French Bulldog, Darth Vader. I heard about Rover.com and decided to give it a try since Vader did not do well in the kennel last year. In my search I found this lovely couple and gave it a try. We loved them so much, that this was our 2nd time that Vader has stayed with them!! Alex and Christina have a fantastic set up and know how to handle dogs. When Vader arrived, they introduced him by keeping him in a room separated by a baby gate so the animals have a chance to get used to each other. Their dogs are well behaved and are used to having new friends around, they don't bother much. From the moment I dropped Vader off, I knew he was in good hands. They treat your pup as part of their family. Christina was very responsive, sent pics and videos when she was able to do so, she even sent Vader home with a bone he had commandeered. I would 100%, hands down, recommend them! If you are searching for the best place to leave your pet, look no further and book your time with Alex and Christina!!”

“Alex took excellent care of my 2 Maine Coon Cats and "Moo" cat. My big, scaredy cat spent some time with her. I loved all the pictures that she sent. I appreciate the care that she gave.”
“Samantha was wonderful with Gemma. Attentive to her needs, keeping me posted with updates and sending pictures throughout the process. Highly recommend! Will be reaching back out to her for future requests.”
About: That’s my old cat in the photo of us together in the car. (Don’t worry, we’re parked!) She was a bengal — a high energy and high level of care exotic breed — and I raised her from a kitten until she passed of old age. She was high maintenance: required a special diet and had some minor medical issues. And she was incredibly active. I leash trained her and we would go out walking around downtown. I also taught her tricks like opening the inside doors both ways, sit, fetch, and a handful more. I have direct experience raising my own cats who needed medicine, exercise, play, and dietary needs. As well as a decade of pet sitting for family and friends. I am experienced with elderly animals, medicine, high needs, and active pets who need a lot of engagement.
“Aubrey did a wonderful job and took great care of my kittens, turtle, and rabbit. She got back to me super quickly and was great with communication. She was kind and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Aubrey!”
“Alana was reliable, consistent and responsive to my requests for my cat. She sent pictures for every visit and communicated regularly. I hope to have Alana pet sit again for me in the future!!”
“Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!”
“Ximena was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and kept me informed about how my cats were doing.. It was great not to have to worry about them when I was away. We are new to the area and will be using her when we travel.”
About: Hi! I’m Genevieve! I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals and have been pet sitting and dog walking for about 13 years. Larger dogs are definitely my specialty, but I grew up with small dogs as well and am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have extensive experience with rescue dogs, high energy breeds, and dogs with behavioral or special needs. I adopted my own pit bull from a euthanasia list and have spent years working through reactivity and behavioral challenges with her, which has given me a strong understanding of canine body language, patience, and maintaining consistent training routines. I’ve also worked with groups of dogs in shelter and pack environments, including living and working at a remote animal shelter in Greece. I’ve had five cats of my own throughout my life, so I’m comfortable caring for cats as well. I also grew up around farm animals and have experience caring for horses, donkeys, chickens, and other animals. I believe good pet care goes beyond the basics. I’m happy to dedicate whatever time is needed to make sure your pets are well cared for, mentally stimulated, enriched, exercised, and, of course, very loved. Whether they want to play, explore, practice their training, or simply have some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate everything from daily walks to occasional overnight stays. Because I'm actively searching for my next full time position, I have plenty of availability to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal and stress free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, pay attention to your pet's body language and individual needs, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My camera roll is already full of pictures of my own dog, as well as my friends' and family's pets, so you can expect no shortage of photo updates while your pet is in my care!
About: I understand that leaving your pet alone can be extremely stressful, but there’s no need to worry! I absolutely love animals and I have the patience to work with any - big or small! I promise to provide the same level of care to your pet as I would my own. I am a high school teacher, so I am currently available only on weekends. However, for the holidays and during summer break I typically stay local so if you are going to be traveling please take me into consideration! I am very comfortable working with dogs in their homes. If they need to be walked, I can easily handle putting on a leash and picking up after them. I am also comfortable handling any toys, food, or medicine your pet may need.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs for years. I’ve taken care of every dog age (puppy-elder) by taking them on walks/jogs, feeding, bathing, and simply just spending time with them so they don’t get lonely:) Pet care is a consistent part of my routine. I’m partially responsible for three family pets on top of having a cat of my own, so I’m always managing feeding, check ins, and general upkeep. I also have experience with longer term care, a week or more, so I’m comfortable taking on full responsibility when needed. I’m willing to take dogs on walks/jogs to get some exercise in, feed them when needed, spend time playing with them and keeping them company, take them outside to do their business when needed.
“Bonnie is a fantastic pet-sitter. She communicated regularly and sent photos. Bonnie has a very positive, calm energy, and our sometimes skittish cat was very happy to have Bonnie around. Will definitely book again with Bonnie!”
About: I have two stubborn cats and help with their vet care so I am very experienced with cats that take a little bit more effort! I also know what it’s like for a cat to be shy or just need their space. I would love to work with any cat!
“Thank you so much for your help tonight and letting me have a night out. I will definitely use your services in the future! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! :)”
“Rosie took great care of our kitties while we were away for the holidays. She shared notes to keep us updated and to check-in with any questions or news. Her help was greatly appreciated!”

“Overall, I am so happy I found Alex and Christina. They were very accommodating to our pup. He is a bit anxious but A&C we’re very understanding and knew how to manage his behavior and make him feel comfortable. Our dog is on the smaller side and he was in a house with bigger dogs, but they all took their time before I left him to make him feel acclimated with his new daycare mates. I would definitely recommend these folks, they have a great professional demeanor and are very communicative and welcoming. Their space was clean and their dogs seemed very happy and healthy! This place is a great alternative to big chain kennels, we thought about Dogtopia- but they seemed so overcrowded and the dogs just seemed stressed out. Six stars for Alex and Christina! Thank you!”
“Hihly recommend! Jennifer is a wonderful doggy daycare host. Our boys were excited to spend the day with her and her sweet dog "Sammy". Jennifer sent a few pics and a note to let me know how our dogs were doing.”
“Ingrid was fantastic with Zazu! Also very responsive and accepted last-minute booking and sent tons of pictures and videos. If I am ever in the area again, I will surely be going to her.”
“Colleen has been most attentive with our energetic dog, Olive. Colleen’s knowledge and experience with dogs gives me comfort knowing our furry loved one is always in good hands!”
“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
“Ollie had a great time at Christina's. He was happy to see me when I came to pick him up, but in no hurry to leave. I think he wanted me to stay for a while so he could play some more ?. He's looking forward to his next visit.”
About: I'm a mom of 4 with 3 children 15 & under living at home. Non-smoking household. I've rescued dogs my entire life. At one time I had 6 rescue pups in my home. I love loving on dogs and caring for them. I work from home with a fairly open schedule to accommodate all your dogs needs. I can host your furbaby just about any day of the week including weekends (and holidays!) **ALL PETS MUST BE UP-TO-DATE ON ALL VACCINATIONS** I have a LARGE fenced yard with tons of space to run and play frisbee or ball in for your furbaby. I also have one 11yo dog who sometimes will play with other dogs or he'll just leave them alone to sleep all day. I have the ability to crate your pet (no need to bring a crate I have some!). Just bring their fav toys, a blanket and/or pet bed and they are set! I am stay-at-home mom so my schedule is fairly flexible. During the school year I will have to leave to take/pick up my little from preschool. Otherwise I'm home all day. I have my own (not spoiled, well loved) dog that is able to go outside whenever he wants and sleeps whenever he wants. Your dog will enjoy their vacation here with me. I treat all dogs as if they were my own furbaby. I give them lots of belly scratches and snuggles. All dogs will need to get along well with children. I can let them out as often as needed. I have a large fenced yard that's great for getting zoomies out and a deck that's great for sunbathing. I'm a stay at home Mom so I'm able to accommodate my schedule to fit each dogs needs. There is almost always someone at home to snuggle with your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also have a variety of crate sizes for any dog that needs one. I do NOT crate any dog unless the owner tells me too.
“This was Jax's first time with Nat and Ally and it was fantastic. They kept me updated most of the day with very fun-loving photos of the other dogs playing...Jax was smiling in every photo or just chillin'. The icing on the cake was the family's son handing me a drawing of Jax's name in big beautiful letters. I will definitely be sending Jax here again! :)”
“Renee took great care of our dog at daycare! Good communication and sent pics/updates. Our fur baby came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Renee and her two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of doggie daycare and will definitely use her services again!”
“Amanda is amazing!!!! Our puppy, Mason, loves her! She takes really good care of Mason and has a great set up in her home for pets. She always tells us how Mason is doing throughout the day and is very reliable. We are so glad we found Amanda for Mason!”
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
About: Hi, my name is Adrienne. My husband Nick and I live in a row home in downtown Frederick. I am an animal lover and will treat your pets like my own!

I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. Im currently working part time so have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available throughout the day to check in and walk your pets and am available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will have freedom throughout our row home and the fenced in yard. If they prefer their space, they will have a bedroom and floor all to themselves. If they like to make friends, we have one really friendly 7lb yorkshire terrier that would love to be their new friend. Our dog is crate trained and can be kept separated based on the client’s preference.
About: Hi! I'm Yesi, and I work from home full-time, which means visiting dogs receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I have two friendly pups, Max and Luna, who are a big part of the family. We understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs can feel at home while you're away. Because I work remotely, your dog won't be left alone for long periods. Whether they enjoy playing, exploring the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I have the most experience with small and medium-sized dogs, but I am also open to larger breeds, as long as they are friendly, well-socialized, and a good fit for my home. The safety and comfort of all dogs in my care are my top priorities. I provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Typical Daily Schedule Because I work from home full-time, your dog will receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day.

“They have been wonderful sitters—friendly and communicative. Our dog loves her time there and it’s god to know that she’s well taken care of. Comfy space with a fenced in yard and their dog is a good playmate.”
About: Have watched family and friends’ dogs in my home for years. Currently have 2 family dogs of different sizes and ages. Range of experience. Lots of walking, playtime and snuggles. I’m home during the day and can adjust my daily schedule to the needs of the dog. My kids are in school during the day so it’s quiet during the day. I have a fenced in yard with room for dogs to play and take care of business. I have 2 dogs at home so your dog will never be alone. My kids and younger dog loves to play. The neighborhood is full of walking paths for walks.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside

About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!
“Samantha is the best! She's been our dog walker since January, several walks a week! She's professional, courteous, punctual, caring, and attentive. Most importantly, our husky, Merida, is in great hands & one happy dog! -Alyssa & Jim Young”
“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is loving, attentive, and truly treats them like her own. I always feel comfortable knowing they are in such caring hands. She communicates very well, keeps me updated, and is incredibly flexible whenever I have schedule changes. My dogs adore her, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve had various animals all my life including: chickens, rabbits, fish, dogs and cats! I hope to take good care of your fur babies 🐈💕 I am available most days and love to help neighbors! I feed my cats around 5pm each day. Happy to board your cat or do house sitting where applicable. We have plenty of space in our townhouse. We have two cats, Nimbus and Kiki. We have a large couch, pet beds, and a tower. The kitchen and living room are an open floor plan. Also have lots of toys and strings!

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”
“Ximena is an excellent dog walker! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely adores her. I always come home to a happy and tired pup, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Highly recommend!”
About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times

My camera roll is already full of pictures of my own dog, as well as my friends' and family's pets, so you can expect no shortage of photo updates while your pet is in my care!
About: I have experience taking care of dogs for years. I’ve taken care of every dog age (puppy-elder) by taking them on walks/jogs, feeding, bathing, and simply just spending time with them so they don’t get lonely:) Pet care is a consistent part of my routine. I’m partially responsible for three family pets on top of having a cat of my own, so I’m always managing feeding, check ins, and general upkeep. I also have experience with longer term care, a week or more, so I’m comfortable taking on full responsibility when needed. I’m willing to take dogs on walks/jogs to get some exercise in, feed them when needed, spend time playing with them and keeping them company, take them outside to do their business when needed.
“Rosie is awesome! She loves and cares for my dog Stormi every single day! She definitely makes me feel calm and worry-free knowing my dog is getting a great walk, extra play, and love!”
About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.
“Colleen is personable and friendly and clearly a dog lover! She connected quickly to my Bella and at our meet and greet. We had a great conversation and she let me know all the ways she was respectful of how an owner takes care of their pet when she cared for them. Over the course of the three walks this weekend, she communicated regularly and provided updates as requested! We're looking forward to working with her again!”

“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.”
“Karen was extremely nice, very welcoming of our pup Milo! she kept me updated with videos and pics which really showed how happy and safe Milo was! I really recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her in a future😊😊”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Kelly was amazing with Crash. She and her family had Crash for a full month... and he was clearly a happy Dog. When he is stressed he loses hair on his side, that did not happen!!! And his first night/day home, We think he was depressed b/c he missed Kelly and her Family.. She Truly kept us informed, sent pictures and was just such a peace in our hearts to have Crash so happy. We will use Kelly again!!”
“Jennifer and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. She kept me informed and he had a great time. I’m not sure he wanted to come home as he had so much fun. We will definitely use her again.”
“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“Nat & Ally were amazing. We felt so comfortable leaving our baby June (an 80lb bernadoodle) with them. They sent pictures everyday that made us so happy to see how much love they were showing her. We will definately be repeat customers. Thank you so much Nat & Ally”
“Jennifer is great with our pitbull Kato. He is so excited to go to her house every time we take him there he doesnt even say goodbye! She has toys for him to play with and always sends pictures to let us know how he is doing. He has stayed with Jennifer many time and she is always available in short notice.”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“both of our dogs seemed well cared for. His property has plenty of space for the dogs to run and he took them for walks in the woods, which I’m sure they enjoyed. I would consider boarding our dogs with him again.”
“Evvery is amazing! She took such great care of my dog even in this difficult winter weather with snow and ice covering the ground, and especially giving her special care when she got a small cut on her paw. Excellent communication with both photo and video updates. Thank you again Evvery!! : )”
“They took wonderful care of our dog! They took her on field trips and adventures. They provided pictures and videos and were completely accommodating to our schedule and our dogs needs. Sammy had the best time and came home happy, healthy and tired! We felt completely at ease with them and their dog. Beautiful property for the dog to spend a weekend and we will happily use them again. Wonderful care of our dog without a worry! Thank you!”
“Mindy was excellent. She sent lots of pics/videos. Dogs looked happy. Cute goodie back when I picked them up. Flexible with pickup/drop off times. Large fenced in yard the dogs thoroughly enjoyed. 10/10 and will be using her for the future!”
“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
“Phil and Amanada did such a great work with our dog that usually was stressed out when we were away. They sent daily reports and did everything they could to make sure he is enjoying his time. I would definitely recommend them and will rebook with him for future :)”
“Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!”
“Jax was so well cared for in Joanne’s care. She is delightful and took Jax pretty much on a last minute notice. She always has a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. Jax was well adjusted being back home.”
“Annette is truly an amazing dog host. She knows animal behavior so well. Her own pets are wonderful and our dog loved visiting as a guest. She is an expert with regard to introducing pets to one another. I wish he could go on a mini-vacation once a week!”
