“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“If you have a small dog, Beverly is unreal. My frenchie loves going to her home. She is given so much love, care and attention the entire time she is there. She has her own bed and rest area during the day with lots of toys. She never goes in a crate or cage, and plays all day long. At night Beverly lets my cookie sleep in the bed. If you are reading this go no further, Beverly provides unbelievable care. I would never consider an overnight kennel and once you try Beverly to babysit you wont either. Thank you Beverly for caring for my baby.”
“Anthony was so sweet with my anxious baby girl! I got lots of pics and videos while she was with him which was very appreciated. Would definitely love to use him again!”
“Theresa and Adrian were wonderful with my dog TJ! Their home is truly perfect for dogs and they were super communicative throughout our stay. Will be booking with them in the future! :)”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
“Zaniya was very attentive to my baby Bizkit. She also allowed me to text her for photos and FaceTime (when needed). He got to finally play with other dogs, be more of an outside dog (he's normally an inside dog). Although he suffered from separation anxiety as this being his first time away from my family for more than a day, he adjusted very well as an untrained puppy. I thank God for her communication and will book again when I travel again in the near future. Thanks again!”
“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience. My first time using a sitter so I was nervous and she made me feel like we were family. Provided pictures, updates and recommendations. Can’t thank her enough for everything, down to accepting our last minute reservation.”
“We had a very last minute request for boarding and Kerri was able to accommodate us. It was our first time booking and she kept us updated on how he was doing which helped keep our minds at ease.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
“Amanda and her husband were amazing with Huckleberry. She told me their house is a dog house and boy was she right! He immediately seemed comfortable there the moment we dropped him off. She gave us consistent updates throughout the stay and treated him as he was her own. He absolutely adored her and was loving all the cuddles and attention. I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch him in the future and I hope we get to utilize Amanda’s services again!”
“Steven looked after Dipstick with love and affection. From the videos, I could see that my dog enjoyed having lots of butts to sniff. 😂 I definitely will be using Steven’s services again.”
“Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!”
“Leslie was AMAZING. She sent frequent pictures of our baby's walks and adventures. It's very clear she loves dogs and treated our Pickle like he was her own. We have complete comfort knowing Pickle was in great care, getting all the TLC he needed while on our honeymoon.”
“Angela was great! She made Dobby feel comfortable, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing while I was away. Now he's home and crashed out from all the fun.”
“Tara was great. We were nervous to leave our dog since it was the first time she was ever away from us. Tara provided daily updates and pictures which eased our minds. I will use her again.”
“Jess is wonderful. I have engaged her twice to board my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both times issues arose, one was a health issue and another where my flight was cancelled and I needed extra days of care. She cheerfully accommodated the situation and put my mind at ease during a stressful time. She takes great care of Halle, who is a rescue and can be reactive towards other dogs. I usually have to give a lot of instructions for sitters, but not so much with Jess, she just knows what to do. I especially noticed that Halle was more relaxed after staying with Jess. Now that she is used to her, I feel really comfortable leaving Halle with Jess.”

“From the moment I met Shylah, I felt completely at ease having her care for my cats while I was away. She is a genuine pet lover and was very sweet and attentive when interacting with my cats. She set aside playtime for them during her visits and sent lots of photos with her updates which I loved. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely reach out to her again for future pet care.”
“Caitie was simply amazing with my 2 year old tortie cat Temperance. She needs a lot of play and hang time, Caitie was so attentive and sweet with her. Caitie’s communication was impeccable and the pictures I received were so cute. Thank you!!!”
“Miryam is truly an angel with my babies. From our very first meet and greet, I instantly had a good feeling about her especially when my girl cat immediately gravitated toward her. She has an amazing ability to care for all three of my cats, balancing their different personalities. She's playful and engaging while also knowing when to give them their space. As we all know, cats can be particular, but Miryam has always been gentle, attentive, patient, and welcoming with my babies ever since our very first meeting. I will always have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly ◡̈”
“Cheyenne is outstanding. She went above and beyond for my 3 cats and I never had to worry if they were being taken care of when I was gone for a week. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I've had the pleasure of growing up in a dog household ever since I was little. I have worked with a number of various breeds but have had the opportunity to raise a German Shepherd as well as my current Australian Shepherd and Blue heeler, who both have plenty of energy. I’ve been blessed with finding a work from home job as an RN and am free most days to help your pup. I took a little break from Rover but am back now that I have a more flexible schedule. Looking to meet your pups and create a consistent schedule ! I have a decent sized fenced backyard that will give your doggo plenty of space to run around with my Australian shepherd dog. I also have space for a crate if they are crate trained.
“Chelsea is a very professional cat sitter and was very accommodating for my needs, especially when my request was last second. Highly recommend her anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
About: Lifelong animal lover! I have experience with hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. Even snails! I’ve taken care of my Rottweiler and Pit-bull for years. I’m available every weekday at any time, besides 3pm! right before or right after that I’m perfectly free to pet-sit for you!! If I pet sit before 3 I won’t need to leave by 3, I just can’t arrive at 3pm. In my home my Pit-bull is very well cared for. I let him outside, feed him and give him water when needed, and I give him baths every week!
“Sherice is a very good sitter, I highly recommend!! She communicates very well with me about how my dogs are doing while she's there. Sherice let's me know if they used the bathroom, played, also if they are acting anxious,excited, or cuddley lol. Sherice is also very prompt, flexible with her & my schedule, & she does very well with my skiddish rescue pitbull. I will be having her drop in on my doggys again!!”
“Chelsea took excellent care of my cat Momo and was so communicative throughout the entire process! This was my first time using Rover, and I look forward to booking Chelsea for future drop-in needs.”
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have been trusted to house and dog sit by family members and I have worked with all sizes and breeds. I am currently a senior at Michigan State University studying Kinesiology. I love staying active and have a passion for animals, so what better than combining the two together?! I currently live with roommates and one small dog. I do not offer boarding services, but I do love living and caring for animals on a daily basis.
“Izzy did a great job taking care of our three cats. She was extremely conscientious and was very sensitive to the cats issues especially since we were introducing two new cats into our one cat household and it was not the easiest dynamic. She was very attentive to the situation and the cats were doing well upon our return. She was very tuned into the directions about their food and litter and personalities. Izzy stayed at our home and everything was in perfect order upon our return. Izzy was very thoughtful and sending us pictures, videos, and updates. We will certainly turn to her again the next time we need pet sitting/housesitting.”
About: I have owned cats for 2 years now. I kind of learned as I went. Working at an animal shelter helped me learn so much about cats, their diets, their behaviors and how to give them quality time which varies from cat to cat. Some like to cuddle, some love pets, others enjoy playing, and I’m here for all of it.
About: I Foster 3 cats over the years , I end up keeping one for our family . I babysit family and friends fur babies while they are away.If have a schedule for your fur babies I am willing to keep on the same schedule , for walks for playtime.
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Shelly was fantastic with Nightwing and Turdle! She took care of all of their needs and even confirmed Nightwing was in his room when our evening sitter (my partners mom) was unable to locate him. She kept us updated on all of his mood changes as well as was able to get our half outdoor/indoor cat Turdle in! She really trusted her to be able to do that, which was fantastic for only meeting her a few times! ♡♡♡ Will absolutely be booking with her again when we're out of town for a few days!!!”
“Keana from the get go was personable, punctual and knowledgeable. She did a wonderful job caring for my animals and went the extra mile to do more. She gave them a ton of love and they were clearly very content happy and healthier than ever when I returned. Your pets are in great hands with her and I will be booking Keana often!”

“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby.

We do feed other cats bin our neighbors I have 4 bowel of water and food on my porch for them. Always have loved animals and had a caring connection with them.

“Sheila was amazing!! I was traveling through the area and noticed there was a Ford Museum i wanted to visit. I reached out the Sheila and she took the pups in last minute with no hesitation. I’m usually very particular about who watches my pups and usually meet up with them first before just leaving them with someone I don’t know. Sheila was very reassuring and sent me messages and pictures throughout their stay to give me peace of mind. I would definitely use Sheila again if ever in the area.”
“Excellent communication. Expectations of what was needed from me was made very clear, constant response to text messages before, during and after the appointment. Would definitely recommend”
“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my family dog, Chutney, for over 10 years, and taking care of him is really what got me into dog sitting. I did Rover throughout college and absolutely loved it, and after taking a break during the pandemic, I’m excited to be offering my services again. Since moving to Detroit, I’ve spent the past three years dog sitting and caring for many wonderful pups. I previously worked fully remotely, and while I’m now hybrid, my schedule is still very flexible. Right now, I’m only in the office once a week for a couple of hours, and starting in July 2026 I’ll be in the office three days a week. The good news is that I get to choose my own hours, so I won’t be gone all day just a couple hours! This flexibility allows me to continue giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits pretty easily into my daily routine because I currently work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office once a week for a couple of hours. Starting in July 2026, my schedule will shift to three in-office days per week, but I’ll still only need to be there for a couple of hours each day. I also live with my partner, who is great with dogs and typically home during the day since he works evenings, so there’s usually someone around to keep your dog company and cared for while I’m briefly in the office. This gives us plenty of flexibility to follow your dog’s routine, provide lots of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I also make time for at least two walks a day, along with regular check-ins, feeding, and anything else your dog may need to feel happy and comfortable. I make it a priority to make sure your dog always feels safe and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I give plenty of extra cuddles, attention, and quality time so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands.

“Jessica was amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Ashley was so easy to book with, and sent great updates and photos of my dog Harry. He came from the visit happy and rested, I will definitely book with her again if I’m ever in the area again.”
About: I have been with pets since I was 5 years old and I have had different breeds of dog in different phases of my life. Caring for a pet is the most natural thing that I could do. I am basically from India and I have not been able to get a pet after I reached Canada which is like almost 2 years. So when I heard about Rover, I just jumped at the opportunity to relive my old life that I was yearning for. Dogs are my favourite but I can take care of cats as well. We have a spacious apartment so your pets can enjoy running around. The neighbourhood is also a safe place. I proudly call myself a dog mom because thats how I care for the universe’s best species.
“Leslie was great! If you're visiting Dearborn to see the sites, definitely leave your dog with her. Pick up and drop off were so easy and less than a mile from the museum gate. She sent photos and kept our dog happy and loved while we explored.”

“Miryam is such a great person, she’s wonderful with our high energy, sometimes sensitive doggo! She also takes amazing pics of your pup. Always happy with the time our dog gets to spend with her. Hire her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for family members, friends, and neighbors since I was 16. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, and feed their pets. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I am currently working from home right now, and I am in school online, so I will have plenty of time to love and take care of your babies. Trips to the dog park will always be on our to-do list to have some fun! I also have a pup loving boyfriend who would also be happy to keep your baby company.
About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.
About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.
“Kelly is amazing. Not only is she great with animals, but people too. She is caring, kind and full of energy. I highly recommend her and will tell my friends about her!”
About: I've been a dog mom to a spoiled little guy for 9 years. My dog has medical issues so I have plenty of experience administering medication. I also have 3 years of cat sitting experience, including litter box cleaning, feeding, and administering medication. I also love bugs! On the off chance you have any you need help with, I'd be honored. I love animals and I'm excited to meet yours! I have a very open schedule and I'm very flexible. The biggest thing I need to work around is medical appointments, but once I have you on schedule I can book them around your visit! Your pets safety is just as important as the safety of my own pet. I'll make sure any needs they have are met, especially for disabled pets!
About: My life doesn’t feel complete unless I have little paws around me! Right now I have three doggos…A giant Lab/Dalmatian mix, a goofy Goldendoodle, and a small Cocker Spaniel nugget. I promise that I will treat your pups just like mine and love them as much as you do! Pets are a part of our family and should be treated like it. A lot of my life is dictated around my dogs, and that’s the way it should be! I never leave them for more than 6 hours and I always make time to play and stimulate them because they wait all day for us! I love taking my dogs on new adventures and to new places so they can explore! I will follow all of your directions and keep your schedule just like you would! I always think that pets do best on a schedule so I promise to keep yours to make their life easier! I will follow their dietary restrictions along with their training!

“They were kind enough to do a last minute booking for my girl. Unfortunately freya was a little too strong pulling so they couldn't walk her. They did however, let her out in the yard to go potty anyways. I really appreciated it”
“Sherice was very professional and has great communication. She was very sweet with Hades and he seems to really like her. Hades is looking forward to seeing her in the near future. Thanks!”
“Izzy is fantastic. Izzy has walked our dog for close to a year. She’s completely reliable, makes sure our dog doesn’t eat anything suspicious while walking, and has even done some dog training. Our girl loves her so much, she will actually leave the house with Izzy even though I may be home - she doesn’t do this for anyone but Izzy.”
About: I worked at an animal shelter for about a year and a half, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I became familiar with dogs’ and cats’ diets, learned how to understand their body language, and gained experience administering medications when needed. I’ve also owned dogs for most of my life and have always believed them to be incredibly loyal and loving companions. I am currently enrolled in a veterinary assistant program. Most of my classes are online, with the exception of Fridays, when I attend classes on campus. I am generally available Monday through Thursday for most of the day, as long as I am given advance notice. I am also available on weekends when needed, with advance notice. My pets at home are very spoiled, so I plan to treat your pets the same way! I always want to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and love while they’re with me. I also enjoy going on trail walks or taking long walks in general, so I’d be happy to have some furry company along the way.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been a huge part of who I am. From Australian Shepherds and Pit Bulls to little Yorkies, I’ve grown up loving dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Throughout the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs. I’ve also house-sat for family and friends while they were away, staying with their dogs and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own home. 🐾❤️ My love for animals started at a young age. I began volunteering at animal shelters during middle school and high school, and I’ve continued that passion ever since. For the past four years, I’ve volunteered at the Dearborn Animal Shelter, where I help with events and spend several days a week walking, caring for, and giving attention to the dogs there. I’ve also always loved attending dog-related events throughout the years, including Mutt Strut, now known as Pawchella, along with other dog events throughout the Metro Detroit area. Being around dogs and connecting with other people who share the same love for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. One of my favorite things about caring for dogs is getting to know their individual personalities. Whether they’re an energetic puppy, a playful adult, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they need. My experience has given me the opportunity to care for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d be so happy to meet your furry family member and give them the same care and attention I would give my own! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible work schedule. I’m a nail technician and work Tuesday through Friday, but I make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to plan around your pup’s needs. My weekends and Mondays are my days off, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m especially available for weekend in-home dog sitting and would be happy to travel to your home and stay with your pup while you’re away. I’m also available for drop-in visits and helping out when you need an extra hand during the day. At the moment, I’m unable to board dogs in my own home because I’m living with family, but I’m more than happy to come to you! I love the idea of caring for dogs in their own environment, where they’re already comfortable and surrounded by the things they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pup. 🐾💕 When caring for your dog in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away\. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pup happiest and most comfortable\. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection\. Whether your dog loves going on long walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m there to give them the care and companionship they’re used to\. I also believe that staying in their own home can make being away from their family much easier\. Instead of being somewhere unfamiliar, your pup can stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in\. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and one\-on\-one attention throughout my stay\. While you’re away, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own\. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual that may need your attention\. I’m also happy to send you updates, photos, and little check\-ins so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away\. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like they have a friend there with them—not just someone checking a task off a list\. I’ll give them patience, love, attention, and the care they need so they can stay happy and comfortable in the place they call home\. 🐾❤️

“Michelle is nothing short of amazing , she is reliable , attentive and truly cares for my princess comfort , I know princess is in good hands when she’s with Michelle , highly recommended.”
“Aaria was great with Potato! That is saying something because he can be a piece of work, and always try to get away with pulling and refusing to walk with a new walker. She's been very responsive and professional as we set up a few services / stays for the coming weeks. Looking forward to having Potato with her more!”

“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Theresa and Adrian were wonderful with my dog TJ! Their home is truly perfect for dogs and they were super communicative throughout our stay. Will be booking with them in the future! :)”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
“Amanda and her husband were amazing with Huckleberry. She told me their house is a dog house and boy was she right! He immediately seemed comfortable there the moment we dropped him off. She gave us consistent updates throughout the stay and treated him as he was her own. He absolutely adored her and was loving all the cuddles and attention. I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch him in the future and I hope we get to utilize Amanda’s services again!”
“Steven looked after Dipstick with love and affection. From the videos, I could see that my dog enjoyed having lots of butts to sniff. 😂 I definitely will be using Steven’s services again.”
“Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!”
“Leslie was AMAZING. She sent frequent pictures of our baby's walks and adventures. It's very clear she loves dogs and treated our Pickle like he was her own. We have complete comfort knowing Pickle was in great care, getting all the TLC he needed while on our honeymoon.”
“Angela was great! She made Dobby feel comfortable, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing while I was away. Now he's home and crashed out from all the fun.”
“Jess is wonderful. I have engaged her twice to board my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both times issues arose, one was a health issue and another where my flight was cancelled and I needed extra days of care. She cheerfully accommodated the situation and put my mind at ease during a stressful time. She takes great care of Halle, who is a rescue and can be reactive towards other dogs. I usually have to give a lot of instructions for sitters, but not so much with Jess, she just knows what to do. I especially noticed that Halle was more relaxed after staying with Jess. Now that she is used to her, I feel really comfortable leaving Halle with Jess.”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“Our Arthur had a great time. Natalia sent is updates and photos during his stay. It was great, he was so tired when he got home. I will 100% use her services again and I would recommend her to anyone. Arthur was in great hands and company.”
“Alisa was great! Very informative during our introductory call. Easy drop off and pick up even with me not being there physically to drop them off. She sent lots of photos i can definitely tell my two dogs were happy and in a pet loving home. I’d definitely recommend Alisa to anyone!”
“Chris and Cass were great! Very patient, kind and flexible. As sweet as our pitbull is, sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter because of the stigma that surrounds the breed. They even had our back when our flight was cancelled multiple times, forcing us to extend our dog’s stay. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them when needed and highly recommend them.”
