Personalized care for your dog or cat - Woodspring
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woodspring
“Great communication and even tho we couldn’t meet up, it was great talking to Dan on the phone. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up and my pup loved playing with his dog in their big fenced in yard! We had a tired happy dog after three days of being away!”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Wow! My family and I felt and knew we left our pups in great hands with Michelle. She sent daily updates and photos. One photo looked like my dog was literally smiling. I would book again in a heartbeat with Michelle!”
“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Kathy was wonderful and sent daily updates. Our dog has never been with a stranger during a vacation so we were nervous but she had our mind at ease the whole time. We did a meet and greet and she was welcoming and great with the dog. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Glenn made everything so easy and took great care of our dog. Glenn took the time to understand our dog routine and needs. This was a great experience and give Glenn my highest recommendation.”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Greyson had a great time with Elspeth and her two pups. Elspeth was very accommodating with Greyson's needs and schedule and ensured he was well taken care of. We had a positive experience.”
“Dorian is wonderful! I have already booked to use him again. He has a routine with the dogs that is so attentive and reliable. He is extremely responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling.”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”

Cat caregivers near you - Woodspring
About: I had cats growing up, but currently have a tuxedo cat who I love dearly. We got him and his brother from Alabama as kittens, and they were the best of friends until sadly, Cooper passed away suddenly last year. Cooper always woke me up every morning by laying on my chest, and now that he is gone, his brother Hendrix has started to do it in his place. I love those boys deeply, and understand that cats are very different than dogs. Slow and steady wins the race with cats.
“Misty did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She was available for a last minute holiday booking and worked around my schedule to come over to meet my cats. She was super communicative during her visits and sent adorable photos of my cats. She took great care of my pets and my home. I'll definitely rebook and recommend Misty to other pet parents.”
About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am currently on summer break from graduate school, but I take five- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
“Megan took excellent care of our cats while we were gone. She is responsive and sent the cutest photos for us to let us know our babies were happy. We trust her while we are out of town, giving us peace of mind.”
“Alex was so amazing with our three cats. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, gave them lots of love and attention, and was able to give my elderly cat her medicine. Alex sent updates and pictures throughout our trip. The kitties were all healthy and happy when we returned. We will definitely use Alex again!”
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
“Samantha was a treat. Our cats warmed up very quickly. She followed our rules of the house, even the temporary rules for neuter recovery. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures and videos.”
About: I have been raised around and caring for cats since I was a kid, which has helped me develop a lifetime of affection and gentle care for kitties of all kinds. I am dedicated to a truly attentive, comforting approach, whether that means allowing a shy cat to set the pace of our friendship, providing gentle companionship to a sweet senior, or administering medications to special needs cats with a calm, reassuring touch. To me, looking after your cat is a devoted partnership rooted in experience, warmth, and respect for their unique personality and routine.
About: I’ve been pet sitting cats for a few years for friends and family. Cats have always been my favorite animal since I was little. I don’t mind cleaning/tidying up the space including the litter box and food. I also love sending cute pictures of your babies while they are in my care!
“Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.”
“Per usual, Sara was wonderful and very communicative while dropping in on our 3 cats for a couple of days. We know the house and animals are always in great hands with her!”
About: I've owned cats since I was about 10 years old and currently have one cat of my own. I have a passion for cats and experience with all different cat personalities! I can't wait to treat your baby like my own.

I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s diet, medication, or house rules, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands!
“Rebecca took great care of my cats over the holidays and kept us posted with updates and photos. She was communicative and resourceful in figuring out an unexpected lockbox issue. The cats were healthy and happy upon our return.”
“Valerie is the only rover sitter I've ever worked with and honestly I never want to switch to a new person. She is FANTASTIC! So patient with my very nervous pup and gives her love like she is her own. I wish I could give 10 stars!”
“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”
About: I've raised 2 daughters to adulthood and 7 cats over the years. I've dog sat for neighbors and answered local ads for sitting/walks. I have experience giving cats medicine and cleaning up messes.I love animals! I'm currently a stay home Mom looking for a flexible income while getting excerise and being my own boss. I use to own a business so I'm organized, responsible and dependable. I currently have 2 cats who I feed daily, one gets medicine mixed into her dinner wet food and she's on a diet. My other cat is free fed dry food all day because she has a fast metabolism and is a perfect weight, plus she gets wet food for dinner. Their litter boxes get cleaned every other day. So, I'm use to special feeding needs of fur babies.
“We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodspring
About: I have a long, sturdy fence that offers total peace of mind. Whether it's a puppy with zero recall or a senior who gets disoriented, they can enjoy the fresh air safely and off-leash under my constant supervision. I am happy to reinforce your consistency with house-training and basic manners. As a dedicated dog lover, pet care isn't a side task it’s my daily rhythm. I work from home, meaning your dog has constant companionship and immediate access to my secure, long-fenced yard for frequent "zoomies" or sunbathing. My long, secure fence is the backbone of my safety protocol. It allows for off-leash "zoomies" and exploration without the risk of bolting. I never leave dogs unattended in the yard; I am always out there with them.
“I don't normally leave reviews... however... my labradoodle had a BLAST! The property is beautiful and very well kept and clean... Dan and his wife are totally awesome, caring and super attentive to my dog's needs. I was worry-free the entire day. I would highly recommend Dan for your pup's needs.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with childhood dogs (Lab and a Scottish Terrier) and love all animals! I'm the go-to dog sitter for both family and neighbors as we have lots of extra room in our house and hearts, along with a fenced in yard. I can't wait to treat your baby like my own! My husband works from home and can let your fur baby outside as needed and keep them company. I love to cater to your dogs needs! Whether that's a game of fetch in the back yard, going for a long walk, meeting new friends at my neighborhood dog park, or hanging out on the couch, I'm just happy to have them around! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly cat at home. He keeps to himself for the most part. I also have two children who love to play with and respect animals as much as I do!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine compassionate care I bring to ensuring your pet feels completely safe, loved, and understood while you are away. I focus on creating a gentle, stress-free environment tailored entirely to your furry friends’ comforting daily routines. Beyond dogs and cats, I have specialized experience with the delicate needs of small animals like rabbits, and would be more than happy to care for pets of any size! I am a recent GW grad and I have a very flexible schedule. Aside from doing occasional tutoring sessions throughout the week, I am home for the majority of the day and have the time to dedicate myself to taking care of your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own space, my primary goal is to maintain their established routine exactly as they know it to minimize anxiety. When a pet stays with me, they are welcomed into a structured, highly supervised, and pet-safe environment designed to feel like a second home. I love all animals and want to make them feel safe in any environment!
About: As a recently graduated high school student, I’ve taken part in numerous veterinary classes, shelter start-up programs, and many other events that advance my experience with dogs and other animals alike. To be transparent, I am looking to make a bit of money before college starts and would love to help others in need with their furry friends :)) My availability remains open all day, with 3 other people in my house. I have practice from 7-9 pm but that would be the only time I’d be away from the house. I am extremely flexible and am more than happy to bend availability for the benefit of your pets! I have a 2 acre fenced in back yard, along with two other very friendly dogs (labradors aged 8 and 12) who are more than willing to play. I am also more than happy with allowing animals on furniture if you’d like. Treats, of course, will be provided and at the ready.

“Our nervous dog is always well cared for at Emily’s house! Emily is communicative and professional; very easy to work with. Her home is calm and safe and full of love.”
“Jahnavi was great. She checked in mid day & provided many photos. I know my dog had a great time because he was plum tuckered out when he got home. Jahnavi even met me prior to our visit to make sure the dogs would get along. I would highly recommend.”

Each day, your pet will enjoy morning walks, playtime in our fully fenced yard, and plenty of cozy cuddle sessions. My routine includes interactive play throughout the day and plenty of relaxing downtime, especially in the evenings when we snuggle up on the couch. I ensure that each pet gets the love and attention they deserve, and because this is a family environment, your pet will not only feel safe and cared for—they’ll become a part of the family. Rest assured, I will be the one providing all the care, ensuring your pet is happy, loved, and always treated like a cherished member of our family.

About: I grew up in a household with dogs. My dogs (and your dog) are part of my family. They are included in our routine. They are loved and well taken care. I am a stay at home mom. I can accommodate your dog’s need easily. Your dog will be loved and taken care as my own. Your dog must be kid and dog friendly. My children are taught to be respectful to all pets. My dog is neutered and friendly (and fully vaccinated). I take with my dog two long walks morning and evening but I also leave my dog in my yard some time during the day.
About: I have a certificate as a vet assistant. I also have lots of experience dog sitting and even have a pet rabbit. I have taken care of younger dogs, as well as older dogs. I will be continuing my education to become a veterinary technician! I have all summer to care and love on your animals! I have one week where I will be on vacation but other than that I would love to be there for your animals and provide the care and love that they need!!! I do not have a fenced yard, and I currently have a bunny too. So it would be better to be at your home or if needed I can keep them at my house and can be caged if needed to be.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels — from playful young labs and doodles to senior dogs and cats needing extra patience and attention. I’m naturally calm and gentle, but I also love matching a pet’s energy through play, walks, and engagement. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to fully focus on pet care. I’m able to provide pets with lots of attention, companionship, exercise, and regular updates for owners throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship while adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos for owners while they’re away.
About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!
About: My friends and family members have always called me the biggest dog person they know. I love dogs and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ll give your pup my undivided when we’re together! I specialize in walks, belly rubs, tugs of war, and treat dispensing. I’m comfortable with all breeds and have forged relationships with dogs who were “challenging” at first but ended up becoming my pals. I work from home most of the time and am very flexible with my weekends, so my schedule allows for me to board dogs, watch them during the day, and take them on long walks to get their daily exercise fix. I currently work from home and can provide hands on care 7 days a week! Your pet will get frequent potty breaks and can play in my back yard. I have a fenced in back yard and a warm home with plenty of toys and treats to keep your dog occupied and happy! I also live close to a park where there’s plenty of room for exercise.
About: I have taken care dogs and animals of all types my whole life. As a biologist I am comfortable with all types of animals and taking care of their medical needs. I am happy to do drop in visits, dog walks, or puppy train. I just relocated to MD to be with my active duty husband so other then taking care of our 4 kids I’ll have a ton of time to care for your best friend. I love dogs and I would be honored to care for yours. I have two friendly large dogs and we live a few short steps to a trail and lake. Happy to take your fur ball for long walks or jogs.
About: We have owned at least 2 dogs at any given time for the past 30 years and truly believe no home is complete without at least 4 paws. Our family currently has 3 dogs, with plenty of room for furry friend visitors in our 4500 square foot house and acre-and-a-half fenced in yard. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works from home so we are around the house at the beck and call of our dog guests 24/7. Our children have grown up with dogs of all kinds (we currently have a giant 3-year old male Great Pyrenees, a 14-year old mostly deaf female Bichon Frise, and a tiny 4 year old female chihuahua mix, who together have taught our kids how to be respectful and conscious of animals in all walks of life). That being said, for the safety of our household, we can only board dogs who are family-friendly. We are homebodies who enjoy staying in, so we are around and available nearly 24/7/365. We already care for our 3 dogs around-the-clock and would be honored to be trusted to add your dog to the mix as well. We have a fenced in yard to let dogs in and out on demand (which is already constant here anyway) and a laid back routine that can easily accommodate whatever else your pet might need. Our dogs are family members, and yours would be too for their entire stay with us. Never left alone and spoiled with attention, there isn’t a care in the world once they set foot in the door — fed, watered, walked, exercised, loved, and played with! Direct access from the house to the fenced-in backyard makes potty breaks a breeze and fresh air an easy bonus throughout the day.
About: My 14-yr-olds and I love dogs but can't have one long-term right now. We have had dogs in the past and have cared for lots of animals, including horses, cats, dogs, bunnies, rodents, and reptiles. We currently have one bunny living in our home who will be kept away from your pet. My kids are responsible and gentle, and know how to behave around animals. I had dogs my entire childhood as well, and have lots of experience keeping dogs healthy, happy, and entertained. My schedule is variable, but I can generally arrange to be gone for no more than four hours at a time. I am happy to discuss my schedule for the specific days you are requesting and will tell you before you book if I will be out of the house for longer than four hours on any day you are interested in booking. Dogs will have full run of the first floor of our home, with lots of comfy places to cuddle up, and will be played with in the yard several times a day. We have a fenced yard and a dog door (which we can lock off if desired). We will respect and follow your feeding guidelines and never offer food that you haven't approved. We won't be home 100% of the time, but will not accept a booking if we can't be home at least every four hours. We will only accept dogs from one household at a time, with a strong preference for family pets. We will not accept aggressive dogs. Crating only on request and if crate is provided.

I am a trustworthy and mindful host who will ensure your pet is feeling comfortable at all times. Depending on owner preferences, we will nestle up to watch good movies, go on adventurous hikes and trail walks, explore parks, play games, practice training commands, and get a good brushing. I do not have an animal of my own at the house so yours will get my undivided vigilance. I am currently home all day so I can watch your pet nearly any time! They will get endless attention and love as my guest. I live in a spacious three story townhouse with many outdoor areas including sidewalks, quiet neighborhoods, my backyard, grass fields, trails, and a beach to walk your pet. We will have a great time outside together. There's extensive space inside as well for relaxing on the couch and staying cool when it's too hot outside. Owner: Thinks I'm going to "watch" their dog.

“Jessie has been wonderful with our pup Sadie. She is a great communicator and texts updates if there are any changes to the schedule. It’s fun to see all the pictures she adds to the daily report. We appreciate all she does for Sadie.”
“Valerie was extremely patient and kind with the dogs who were timid when she arrived. She took the time to let them warm up, eat, and also come to her for pets. Charlie requires insulin injections and Valerie came over before the visit to see how to perform it. We will gladly have her take care of the brood again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for the past 3 years, but I have been taking care of dogs for my whole life. I have experience with dog training as I trained dogs for dog shows. I don’t mind cleaning up and keeping the space tidy. I also love sending cute pictures of your babies when they’re under my care. I’m currently a college student, but over the summer I do research twice a week, so I am free most weekdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to do dog walks or spend a day with your pet while you are out. For multiple days, it depends on the dates and how long I can be away from your pet (ex. A cat) if it’s on a day I have to work my lab. I like to follow the instructions clients give me precisely and appreciate receiving detailed instructions. I love hanging out with your pets and playing with them. I like to keep their daily routine as close to their normal as I can, keeping them healthy and happy.

“Grace was great with our energetic puppy Darcy. He was anxious to meet someone new, but she calmed him down with treats and pets. She was very communicative and arrived right on time. Would definitely recommend her as a dog walker!”
About: Living in Historic New Market with very walkable streets. About this sitter: Lieftime of experience with all types of breeds, ages, and temperaments. Why I love dog sitting My family had 2 dogs over my lifetime (one mutt and one Yellow Lab) and were very much a part of my childhood along with my own black lab. All have since passed away, but I'm currently looking for some friendly dogs to spend time with. Meet my pets Our black lab passed a few years ago at the age of 14 I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I am always mindful of the time away from the home when sitting. I have reliable transportation. We get up early every day and are available most hours. We go for frequent walks and can accommodate varying feeding schedules and specific needs.
About: I have a certificate as a vet assistant. I also have lots of experience dog sitting and even have a pet rabbit. I have taken care of younger dogs, as well as older dogs. I will be continuing my education to become a veterinary technician! I have all summer to care and love on your animals! I have one week where I will be on vacation but other than that I would love to be there for your animals and provide the care and love that they need!!! I do not have a fenced yard, and I currently have a bunny too. So it would be better to be at your home or if needed I can keep them at my house and can be caged if needed to be.
About: I’ve taken care of many of friend’s and family pets as well as my own pets. I totally understand that this is a member of your family and they should be cared for as such. I am a full time evening student who has a time on her hands. I am flexible working during the day and as well as weekends. I will make sure that your fur baby is safe at all times. If on walks I will keep the leash on as well as making sure the yard is safe for them as well.
About: As a recently graduated high school student, I’ve taken part in numerous veterinary classes, shelter start-up programs, and many other events that advance my experience with dogs and other animals alike. To be transparent, I am looking to make a bit of money before college starts and would love to help others in need with their furry friends :)) My availability remains open all day, with 3 other people in my house. I have practice from 7-9 pm but that would be the only time I’d be away from the house. I am extremely flexible and am more than happy to bend availability for the benefit of your pets! I have a 2 acre fenced in back yard, along with two other very friendly dogs (labradors aged 8 and 12) who are more than willing to play. I am also more than happy with allowing animals on furniture if you’d like. Treats, of course, will be provided and at the ready.
About: I have two dogs and have been around animals all my life and I love helping out to take care of them! I have always had a soft spot for animals and would love to care for yours! I do have a part time job currently however I am able to stop by in the mornings, around lunch time, dinner time and even nights if needed! I can be open to home boarding for dogs if your dog likes other dogs and cats! I have a fenced in yard as well as two dogs and a cat that live in my home! My dogs are a bit timid until you get to know them! And my cat is the chillest cat and doesn’t bother anyone!
“Maegan has been wonderful with my pup! She's timely, attentive, and very knowledgeable. My dog is a little stubborn with walks and Maegan has been very kind and patient with her. I appreciate her walking, spending time with my dog, and helping give her some breakfast. Thank you Maegan!”

“Great communication and even tho we couldn’t meet up, it was great talking to Dan on the phone. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up and my pup loved playing with his dog in their big fenced in yard! We had a tired happy dog after three days of being away!”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Kathy was wonderful and sent daily updates. Our dog has never been with a stranger during a vacation so we were nervous but she had our mind at ease the whole time. We did a meet and greet and she was welcoming and great with the dog. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Greyson had a great time with Elspeth and her two pups. Elspeth was very accommodating with Greyson's needs and schedule and ensured he was well taken care of. We had a positive experience.”
“Dorian is wonderful! I have already booked to use him again. He has a routine with the dogs that is so attentive and reliable. He is extremely responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling.”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”
“They are such great fur baby sitters! Jax came home happy and not stressed at all. I loved getting all the updates and pictures and will definitely book with them again!”
“Ellen! You have done it again. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups. I love when Maya just doesn’t want to leave because she loves the farm. That’s how much they love you. THANKS!”
“Nat and Ally took great care of my dog and I can tell he had a great time and was a part of the family for the few days he was there. I got plenty of photos of my dog hanging with their dog and children and he always looked relaxed and happy. Great communication!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”

“Robin (and her kids!) were absolutely awesome! Our two dogs were both well cared for and happy when we picked them up. We totally plan on using them to watch our furry friends next vacation and many beyond! R. Allan Ferrell”
