“Sarah was amazing! Took great care of my little pain-in-the-butt puppy who is not potty trained. She sent me picture everyday. Minnie was well taken care of! We will definitely use her again.”
“I'm a first-time paw-parent. It was my first-time boarding our girl. I was sooooo nervous but she came back home happy yesterday after 2 night stays with Anthony. You know what am I doing? I just rebooked Anthony for the upcoming summer. Thank you, Anthony!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover, and Christina made the experience wonderful! She was quick and easy to book on semi-short notice. Her communication was great, and she kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our pup. We will definitely plan to use Christina for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Jenna and family were perfect for our Aussilier Charli. We received pictures and updates throughout her 5 day stay. Our Charli came home happy, exhausted and a little more spoiled than she already is! 😊. We definitely recommend Jenna and will use her services again for our next travel.”
“Lynn is highly professional, knowledgeable, very organized, and affable. Communication was excellent. We look forward to using her again to board our senior dog in the near future. Michael H.”
“Holly & her family are a welcoming home for any pet but for my finicky boy he sure loves it there. We can rest easy while he is there under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly. She is so kind and caring. Thank you again for your time and patience with our little troublemaker.”
“Shelly was excellent and Benji must have felt comfortable with her as he was pretty calm when we picked him up. Usually he is highly excited when dad comes back. Shelly sent photo via text of Benji and his new friends. Would definitely recommend.”
“Nicholas was so kind and patient with my 4 month old puppy. I was nervous leaving her for 5 days but Nicholas sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. My pup bonded instantly with Nicholas’ dog, AJ, who was so careful and patient with her. Would 100% recommend.”
“Jen was amazing!! I was super comfortable with leaving Charlie in her care. She sent pics and updates which is so comforting when you have to leave your fur baby in the care of someone else. I would 100% book her again!”
“Sunita is very conscientious on the care of my pup and I greatly appreciated it! From taking my dog on daily walks to making sure our Benny was loved and comforted, while being separated from his humans. Sunita was very kind & caring during the stressful time of traveling. I strongly recommend Sunita for any pet care! She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Also, knowing our pup was in loving, and great hands was a comfort! Thank you so much, Sunita! ?”
“Julie and family were simply amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. We’ve never let our dog stay with anyone besides family before but some things came up and we had to find alternative care in a pinch. Julie sent daily photos and updates on our senior dog who was living his best life! Could not recommend her enough!”
“Laura was amazing! Her house was spotless and tidy, so there was nothing for our pups to get into. The pups had a large yard to run around in. She sent us daily updates from their walks to the lake, so our dogs got really good exercise while with Laura. We were so happy with her, that we actually recommended her to a friend, while our dogs were still there! We will use her again 100% for our next out of town trip. She even went above and beyond, as one of our Frenchies got a paw infection 2 days before out trip. Laura administered medicine and even did epsom salt soaks on her paw. We could not be happier with how our dogs were taken care of.”
“Aaron and his wife Misty are such an amazing couple, very nice, super friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Roxie in their care. I received pictures and video which made me feel even better about her stay. They are by far the best sitters and I will definitely use their services each and every time.”
“Alia and Ian are amazing! They take excellent care of my dog with regular walks and playtime. They check-in with me regularly and my dog gets excited when I drop her off.”
“Patty was wonderful with my puppies. She was very responsive to messages, sent pictures, and provided me a huge relief while away. She was also extremely patient with me when I messed up using the app properly. Thank you so much, Patty!”
“Amazing family, amazing dog loving people.. My puppy stayed overnight and was so happy with his stay.. They have a great tolerant dog that was playing and keeping my puppies company.. Will definetly use again.. Very highly recommended”
“Our two dogs stayed at Melonie's house for apx 1 week and it seemed like they had a great time! They got along great with her two dogs as well. Flexible pick up and drop off and her partner was also very friendly as well.”
“Ana was wonderful for Olaf. She sent pictures, and kept in touch while the kids were missing him. After a long vacation, he was as happy as if we never left. He felt very at home and loved while we were gone.”
“Amanda was very accommodating for our anti-social, lazy senior dog. He had his own private space in her guest bedroom where he could retreat when he needed some quiet. This was our first time using Rover and we were pleasantly surprised — would definitely recommend Amanda for any future pet sitting needs.”

“We travelled and asked Arden to visit our place to take care of our cat during our absence, while following up on the cameras. Arden was there every scheduled day, fulfilled her duties, sent us reports and spend some time bounding with our cat ( which is temperamental to say the least ), so it does not fell so lonely/ depressed. We could travel with peace of mind. We really recommend Arden to take care of cats.”
“Felisha was amazing. My cats generally hide from everyone and one of them was out and interacting with her each time she came. She took amazing photos and left great check-in notes. She also was not phased by my last minute request to administer medication due to finding out my cat required a few weeks of antibiotics only a few days before we left. Would recommend Felisha to everyone and will definitely hire her again!”
“Katherine is amazing. We have 4 cats, and the first time she came over all 4 took to her immediately, which rarely happens, so that was great to see right off the bat. Katherine is definitely the beeeessstttt sitter we have ever had. She went above and beyond what we we're expecting, plus she is super nice and knows a lot about cats. She gave us a lot of pictures, and she has an eye for photography because there are a few that I want to have printed and framed. She is definitely going to be the first person we get ahold of in the future for kitty sitting, and we highly recommend. 😊”
“Courtney was amazing. She took great care of our cats and kept us updated every step of the way. I would highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to take care of our cats again.”
“Ana was very responsive and extremely easy to communicate with. She kept us updated at all times and took exceptionally good care of our fur babies! I highly recommend Ana and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Caili is a very comfortable person. She was great with the cats and she has excellent communication skills. Everything went smoothly but I trust her judgment if there was an emergency. I cannot recommend Caili enough.”
“Angela did a great job with our cat. We know he loves her since she takes a lot of time to care for him. We are lucky to have found such a cat loving person. We booked her again already.”
“Great job! Thanks for looking after the calico sisters. Calico says you were wonderful. Cassandra says you can come back and she might let you pet her next time. Thank you.”
“Anna did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. I love that she sends updates and photos every day. We will definitely have her take care of our cats again!”
About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a three year old puppy that loves other dogs. I have pet sat and boarded many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I live on a lake so if your dog loves the water it will have the time of its life, if not, that’s okay too! I am very active so walks can happen frequently. If you are interested in boarding with me I require that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that), good with dogs, and doesn’t mind kids nearby. I currently work at a daycare 3 days out of the week from 8AM-6PM with an hour long break that I will use to spend time with your pet! But, my weekends are completely open! In my clients home I would care for their pets the exact way that they do and how they instruct me to do so! :)
“Olivia was amazing! She checked on our elderly cat for a week while we were away, made sure he got his meds, and even sent us daily photos, which we loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Super reliable and so sweet—we’d definitely ask her again!”

“Sarah was wonderful with our puppy Oakley! She watched him for 3 weeks and he enjoyed every minute at her house playing with other pups. He couldn’t wait to go back the next day. If you’re looking for someone who will take amazing care of your pet you won’t be disappointed with Sarah. Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy!”
“Nicholas has been very flexible and accommodating with our weekly day care schedule. Our 6 month old puppy, bruce, also loves hanging out with AJ and the other dogs! Highly Recommend!”
“Anthony is the best! Our dog loves to stay with him for daycare and boarding. Anthony provides a great environment, and has an amazing passion for dogs. We have now been taking our dog to Anthony for nearly one year. You can be confident your dog is in great hands, and will come home happy and tired :)”
“Shelly was so sweet to our dog Pookie. Our plans got cut short so she didn’t stay as long as we expected but I still got a pic from Shelly of Pookie all snuggled up on the couch”
About: I have experience pet sitting for 20 years. I am familiar with dogs that require medication and can also administer insulin to non aggressive dogs if needed I work from home full time and can provide daily walks multiple times a day based on your dogs needs, frequent potty breaks, belly rubs, treats, and endless love to your dog. I own a home with a fenced in yard. I have three children between the ages of 8-13. I have yellow lab that’s approximately 2 years old and a 5 year old female Keeshond.
About: What sets me apart is that I have real hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve owned both big and small dog breeds, cared for puppies, and also have experience with senior dogs. Right now I currently own two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve also owned cats, ferrets, and other kinds of animals, which has helped me become very patient, attentive, and adaptable to each pet’s unique needs. I truly love animals and care deeply about their well-being, so I always do my best to treat every pet like they are my own. I currently work from home half of the week so I’m available Friday Saturday Sunday Monday all day and Tuesday-Thursday I have less time personally but both my mom and sister work from home so they would still be taken care of by then I have two of my own dogs one is a senior the other one just turned 1! We love animals in this house! And your fur babies would be looked after with the upmost care! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether they are in my home or in a client’s home. In my home, pets have space to play and get exercise since we have a fenced yard, and there is also a football field right in front of us where they can play too. We also take our dogs on walks often, so pets staying with me would get attention, activity, and lots of care. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. That includes feeding them on time, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I always try to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away.
About: I grew up around dogs all my life. I am confident with all dog sizes large and small. Dogs gravitate to me. I can sit or play or walk with any dog. Right now I have no dog of my own, but would love to share in the care of yours. Dogs are naturally migratory animals and I would love to spend time moving forward walking with your family member. I allow dogs to get to know me and win their trust with me at the dogs pace. The will have a calm confident caregiver to spend time with them.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and treat every animal like family. I offer overnights for dogs in my home, calm and respectful care for cats in their own space, and fun, dependable walks. Your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first. I can walk mornings or afternoons. I’m available to watch your dog in my home most weekends and some weekdays. I do have 4 kids in my home so pets must be kid friendly and ready to have a lot of fun and lots of love! I provide attentive care in my home or yours, following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest. My focus is safety, cleanliness, and low-stress care so pets feel secure wherever they stay.
“Brenda was great. My dog is anxious with new people and she made him feel right at home without minutes. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day that made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and bunnies since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I work full time mostly from home. I only board pets when I’ll be home to care for them. I own my own home, have a dog run, and designated potty area on my deck as well. I provide affectionate and interactive care. My home is pet friendly and my kiddos are very respectful and loving with our visiting furry friends! We have a cat, dog and bunny that all do well with other animals.
About: While I'm just getting started on Rover, i have been pet sitting for many years and it is truly my passion. I can offer you and your family peace of mind! My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re apart. I will leave your house exactly the way I found it and am comfortable with cameras and ring doorbells. I’ve had animals all my life. I am also very passionate about animal welfare and contribute my time and money to many organizations. Many of my repeat customers are not on Rover so I am happy to provide more references upon request. In addition to pet care, I do have a work from home, 9-5 job at one of the most well known companies in Michigan. This enables me to be available for long periods of time to be with your pet at my house or yours. As long as there is WiFi, I can be there. I am very flexible to your families many different needs. I am happy to meet you and your pets needs in whatever setting is most comfortable. Your pet will have the run of my house during their stay. My house is big enough for your pet to have quiet alone time or be with the people. There is usually always someone home to be with your pet. I treat pets as beloved family members. Likewise, I am happy to do it at your home as well.
“Jennifer was great with Teddy! He has a ton of energy, and she has the perfect place that lets him play freely and really burn it off. He came home happy and tired, which says it all. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
About: I have owned and been caring for different kinds of dogs since I was little. Walk, feed, bathe, play with all the love I can provide. I am extremely patient and can discuss any needs you are looking for support. I am working remotely Thursday and Friday, free for weekends. I can watch your pet on-site or stay with me for extended hours and days. I normally let pets run free at my place. I have a fenced play ground at my apartment complex and I can walk them everyday. I do have stairs in my apartment, so the pet must be able to climb.
“Concise Review for Aaron and Family Aaron and his family took excellent care of Koda—accommodating, attentive, and genuinely loving. It felt like she was part of their own family. We’re definitely returning and highly recommend them for anyone seeking a trustworthy, comforting home for their pet. Thank you for everything!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have both experience with dogs ( all sizes) and cats as well. I am very active also, and I like to take dogs for a walk. I can play, hug, and give much love to your pet. In Florida, I used to be a volunteer at the local shelter and rescued organizations as well. I am also Bilingual English-Spanish. I work in the office and sometimes remote, finish by 5PM . When I am remote I have more flexibility -Mondays and Fridays usually. I have weekends for myself, but visit my grandchildren usually few hours on Saturday. I can walk dogs everyday in the afternoon and provide daily exercise. Just contact me and we can work it out. When I go to the clients home I will follow their directions. I will come happy to do what I love the most. In my home, I have an adult cat very friendly and lonely, but I can arrange the situation in case my service is needed to have the pet in my home. We can always study the situation and talk about it.
About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a three year old dog that loves other dogs. I have taken care of many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I love sending pictures and constant communication with the pet owners to keep them updated on how their pet is doing. Some requirement’s that I have for you boarding with me is that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that) and has never been aggressive towards other dogs or kids. I will be attending Oakland Community College this fall. I will only be taking one in person class (on Wednesdays) so my schedule is pretty much 100% open. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would keep your dog on a leash when taken out if need be. In my clients house I will take care of their dog as they do themselves.
“We had a very good first sitting with Lynn and will definitely rebook in the future. Lynn clearly cared a lot about Blue’s well being, comfort, and safety. I knew without question that he was well cared for with her.”
About: I grew up with two dogs and they were always part of my life. I have a pet now, his name is Leo, I can't imagine a life without him. I have taken care of my friends dog when they go out on vacation. Leo is very friendly and he loves playing with other dogs. I am working remote and I have a flexible job, so I have enough time to play with your dog. I always spend time with Leo and we take him out 4 times a day. We will give the same care for your dogs as well. I don't have a fenced yard but I make sure your dogs get enough play space in my home. I prefer taking care of them in my home.
“We used Jaime for the first time this week. Jaime was great with our youngest, who takes a little time to warm up to new people and new dogs. She is very patient, and her dog Flint was a great companion for our 2 Spinoni. We would highly recommend Jaime for daycare.”

About: I have always had pets. I grew up on 10 acres and we always had 4-8 dogs at a time. We recently lost a pup and I'm excited to love on yours. We love traveling, so we understand the need for a solid network to help keep them loved and safe. Capable of giving meds/vitamins. I work full time, from home. I have flexibility in my schedule to go for walks, pause for playtime, and would be willing to take visiting pups to our local dog park, if that works for you and your furry friend. I do not have a fenced in yard, but happy to provide potty breaks on a leash. Going for a walk is always an option as I love getting steps in and burning off a little energy. My dog is allowed on our couch, but no other furniture. We have several dog beds throughout the house and happy to accommodate cage training.
“Melanie does an amazing job with both of my dogs. They come back happy, exercised, and ready to relax which I greatly appreciate. I can tell the dogs love their time with her because they will bark out the picture window begging her to come back for more. Melanie is super attentive and willing to accommodate any schedule changes and additional asks, with excellent communication throughout. Highly recommended, and very thankful I was able to find someone my dogs love so much!”

About: I've had animals all my life- 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 guinea pig, 3 hermit crabs, and numerous fish. I now also cat sit for my neighbor and friends when they go on vacations or trips ranging from a day to a week. I make sure I spend lots of time with their furry friends so they don't get lonely and they get the care they need. I am currently in college and working part-time (usually mornings on Thursdays and on Fridays), but my schedule allows me for ample time to check in on the furry buddies on my available days or the nighttime. I love to give my animals lots of cuddles and kisses. I make sure to give them long amounts of pets and love. If a storm is going on, I always make sure to turn on calming animal music and talk them through it. I treat animals like they are people and someone who needs care and love.

About: We live in a gated community in Homestead with a fenced in yard. Growing up my family owned various businesses dealing with animals including a kennel, groomer and obedience school. I have been immersed in the dog world since I was a small child. Currently, I have two miniature dachshund who love to go to the beach or lounge around the house. Since we are a military family, I can not have more pets so I decided to start doing rover. My pups are use to being surrounded by dogs and are ready to meet some new friends. I will keep you up to date on your pets day and hope you enjoy photo updates :) I work from home Monday through Friday and am available for doggie daycare + overnights. I can accommodate for dog walking, sitting and weekend care! All surfaces within our house are dog friendly but if desired I am capable of crating dogs. I can assist you with training and can administer medication including pills and shots. My dogs are bell trained and have taught other dogs how to use it to verbalize what they want.
About: Hello! I’m Grace aka the dog whisperer 😊 Caring for dogs is truly my passion, both at home and professionally. I have two dogs of my own, one who is two years old and one who is eleven, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, energy levels, temperaments, and care styles that come with both puppies/young adults and senior dogs. Aside from that, I have a rescue dog of my own who is two years old. I currently work as a canine care specialist and kennel attendant, where I care for dogs every day of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From very small dogs to large breeds like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My responsibilities include feeding, potty breaks, safe socialization, and making sure each dog is comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and attentiveness, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, both personally and professionally. I work in the pet care field during the week, so caring for animals is something I do daily and genuinely enjoy. At this time, my availability is primarily on weekends, which are generally open unless I communicate otherwise in advance. I’m very upfront about my schedule and always make sure expectations are clear so pets receive consistent, attentive care. Because pet care is already a major part of my life, I’m comfortable building it into my routine and giving each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment. Exercise and playtime are a big part of my approach to care. I make sure each dog gets appropriate physical activity and mental stimulation based on their age, energy level, and routine. Along with plenty of play and affection, I stay consistent with the basics, regular feeding, fresh water at all times, and close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with complete respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, and make sure the home is left just as it was found. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and genuine care, and I always strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I work as a pet sitter full time and have also been a veterinary assistant so I have experience with caring for pets, I am also able to give medications for pets who need it. I have experience with both cats and dogs but have more experience with cats! I have my own cat that I care for and am an insured pet sitter full time! I love caring for pets as if they are my own and go above and beyond to make their owners feel safe! I care for pets in your home by feeding, giving water, attention (play, cuddles, walk, depending on animals needs), cleaning litter or letting pets out, administering medication, and generally looking out for their well being.
About: Hi my name is Jackie. I have loved, owned, and cared for animals my entire life. I love ALL animals but am especially fond of dogs and horses. They each have their own unique personalities. I currently own a very shy rescued Bernese Mountain Dog and a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I also have 4 horses - a pony, a paint, an appaloosa, and a national show horse. I have never met an animal I haven't liked! During my lifetime, I have owned several breeds including: German Shepard’s, a sheepdog poodle mix, mutt's, lots of Akitas, a Great Pyrenees, a Corgi, and a Berner. If you entrust me with your dog, I will treat them like family. He or she will get lots of love, special attention, and cuddles (if they like that). I will listen to your dog's needs and ensure that I give them what you ask for. I have large and small breed experience. I also have over 20 years of dog rescue experience meaning not only have I adopted, but I have also fostered, pulled them from shelters and helped get them into loving homes. It also means I have seen a lot of things and have cared for very sick dogs. I understand several medical diseases among animals. I have cared for many dogs with acute and long-term illnesses. I am very capable of caring for those with special needs! I work from home so your pet will always have company and a watchful eye so you can have a worry-free vacation.

About: I have owned pets my entire life. I can’t think of a time when there hasn’t been a pet in my home. I’ve owned mostly dogs and cats, but I’ve even owned chickens and rats in the past! I use Rover myself when we are out of town, so I know the importance of finding someone you can trust with your pets while you are gone. I currently own 2 German Shepherds, 1 French Bulldog and 2 cats, so I have the day to day experience to care for your pet/pets. I would love to meet and take care of your pets! I currently work from home Monday-Friday, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am open to weekdays and weekends. Transportation isn’t a problem either as I own my car. I can care for pets in any type of environment. I find pets love to be in their own home, so my job is to make them feel safe and well cared for while you are away. I can feed them, give treats, administer medicine, clean them, clean up accidents or messes, etc. I have also owned my share of old dogs/cats, so I can provide the gentle care they need.
“Katherine was great! Katherine is very caring and my pup, Sully, loved her. Her communication is excellent, I always got pictures and an update about how Sully was doing. I felt very confident and comfortable having Katherine come over and take care of Sully. I recommend her to anyone and also plan on rebooking with her in the future. Thanks Katherine!”

“Jenna and family were perfect for our Aussilier Charli. We received pictures and updates throughout her 5 day stay. Our Charli came home happy, exhausted and a little more spoiled than she already is! 😊. We definitely recommend Jenna and will use her services again for our next travel.”

“Shelly was excellent and Benji must have felt comfortable with her as he was pretty calm when we picked him up. Usually he is highly excited when dad comes back. Shelly sent photo via text of Benji and his new friends. Would definitely recommend.”
“Nicholas was so kind and patient with my 4 month old puppy. I was nervous leaving her for 5 days but Nicholas sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. My pup bonded instantly with Nicholas’ dog, AJ, who was so careful and patient with her. Would 100% recommend.”
“Jen was amazing!! I was super comfortable with leaving Charlie in her care. She sent pics and updates which is so comforting when you have to leave your fur baby in the care of someone else. I would 100% book her again!”
“Laura was amazing! Her house was spotless and tidy, so there was nothing for our pups to get into. The pups had a large yard to run around in. She sent us daily updates from their walks to the lake, so our dogs got really good exercise while with Laura. We were so happy with her, that we actually recommended her to a friend, while our dogs were still there! We will use her again 100% for our next out of town trip. She even went above and beyond, as one of our Frenchies got a paw infection 2 days before out trip. Laura administered medicine and even did epsom salt soaks on her paw. We could not be happier with how our dogs were taken care of.”
“Aaron and his wife Misty are such an amazing couple, very nice, super friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Roxie in their care. I received pictures and video which made me feel even better about her stay. They are by far the best sitters and I will definitely use their services each and every time.”
“Patty was wonderful with my puppies. She was very responsive to messages, sent pictures, and provided me a huge relief while away. She was also extremely patient with me when I messed up using the app properly. Thank you so much, Patty!”

“Our two dogs stayed at Melonie's house for apx 1 week and it seemed like they had a great time! They got along great with her two dogs as well. Flexible pick up and drop off and her partner was also very friendly as well.”
“Amanda was very accommodating for our anti-social, lazy senior dog. He had his own private space in her guest bedroom where he could retreat when he needed some quiet. This was our first time using Rover and we were pleasantly surprised — would definitely recommend Amanda for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Angela and Dave are ANGELS! They cared for Tasha as if she were their own baby! Not only was the care and companionship above and beyond, they made the extra efforts to contact me on any concerns/clarification, welcomed me to thrir home to swing by and check on Tasha, and texted daily photos, videos, and messsages!!!! They made Tasha feel like she was at the spa! I’m DEEPLY touched and EXTREMELY blessed by their efforts and care!!!! I will Definitely contact them for my future trips to Michigan!!!”

“Ash is an AMAZING sitter! The second I dropped my girl off I knew should would be ok. He is kind, responsive, communicative, and clearly loves each dog as if it is his own. Thanks to Ash, I was able to enjoy a little vacation without worrying one second about my little girl. 10/10 will hire again!”
“Melissa and her family took such great care of my pup while we were away! She adjusted quickly and fit right in. Melissa was good about following Rosie's routine for feeding and sleeping arrangements and sent me cute pics while we were away. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew Rosie was in good hands! Melissa was prompt and friendly whenever I sent her a question or info. I highly recommend her watching your pup if you need someone!”
“Tracy and her family were incredibly welcoming and took amazing care of our Frenchie. She was very responsive and accommodating throughout the entire stay. We especially appreciated the updates with photos and videos—it gave us real peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future!”
