“My boy Chauncey stayed with Dan and Clare for three nights four days. I was sent multiple forgraphs to show how he was faring including him eating and sleeping. I had a GPS collar on him which showed the amount of play time and rest time he was given. (A LOT)!! Their yard is huge and fenced. Unfortunately my dog has learning to jump over cyclone fencing the week before staying with Dan and Clare; therefore, I put his GPS collar on him. They watched my sweet naughty (sporting dog - very concentrated on looking for creatures and can lose his mind by only having those thoughts in his head ;-) ) and I could tell much attention was given to watching out for him and guaranteeing he was safe. Their three dogs - after they bark upon your arrival - are very sweet and very accepting of newcomers. I would use them again in a heart beat. I travel on the road with my dog and also spend time in Texas so it will be hit and miss when the need arrives. However, should you want a safe, clean, dog "resort" for your pup go here. Lots of new smells, critters to chase and great hosts for your four legged family member, Thank you Dan and Clare!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“Laura was the best sitter ever! She sent pictures along with daily updates every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog with Laura was the most comfortable I have ever felt with anyone ever. Thank you Laura!”
“Lia, Jonathan and their entire family are amazing! This was the first time I have used Rover, so I was very nervous. Jonathan and Lia sent updates, photos and videos throughout the day. They put my mind at ease and I was able to have a wonderful vacation. I think my sweet girl misses them, but we already booked her next two stays with them!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our boys with Bailey & Chase! It’s the longest we’ve been away from them but it was like they were on their own vacation! Such a great yard for playing and they get the best care! So happy to have found a place they love to go and feel comfortable at! ❤️🐶🐕🦺🐾”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“So, this was our first time doing this and honestly best experience we could ask for! Amanda was fantastic we did a meet and greet a day prior and it was great seeing our dogs enjoy other dogs other than each other. The pictures were sent and we loved that! Again if I could give 10 I would give 10 stars!”
“Thea was amazing! She was not only great with my dog but she kept me updated the entire time I was out of town! She kept my dog so happy and entertained the entire time he was with her that he came home exhausted! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter”
“Annmarie did a phenomenal job with my dog Xena! Her dogs were very friendly, and got along great. I came with very short notice, and she was very attentive, flexible and and communicative, and I'd 100% go back to her in the future. Extremely happy with my experience!”
“April is a wonderful sitter! She’s very caring, always friendly, keeps you informed, easy to communicate with…. Just wonderful! She took care of our Golden a few times and we love to book her again and again. Thank you April, traveling is much easier knowing Abbie is with you!”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
“Lyndsey and Justin went above and beyond for our dog! I could tell from the first meeting that our dog was going to be in great hands! It certainly made our 10 days away much easier not having to worry about our girl! We received communication and many cute pictures of their young daughter giving our girl lots of love!! We Would highly recommend them for your dog, And we will certainly use them again! A huge thank you to this very sweet and loving family!”
About: I am a Michigan transplant and an animal person with years of experience, including as petsitter, aquarist, veterinarian technician, field scientist, and farmer. I’ve worked with all creatures great and small, and am uniquely qualified to take care of your fish tank, farm animals, and exotic pets. I am also an avid organic gardener and I love to grow my own food. I own a quaint cottage home with a fully fenced yard. All animals are allowed on the furniture so that they can indulge in the comfort they deserve. I love taking quirky puppy pics in beautiful places while on hikes and adventures. Playing is a great way to establish trust and blow off steam, and I try to capture that on camera as much as possible. I am an outdoor enthusiasts, and when I lived out West I regularly offered "adventure" packages for dogs who benefitted from extended hikes. My own dog Velma is famous on the lake for being my paddleboard companion! I would love the opportunity to work with elderly or disabled animals, and am competent administering medications. It would be my pleasure to get to know your dog, cat, chicken, shrimp, goat, bird, hamster, and any other critters in your family! Feel free to contact me for references and resume. Animal - and seasonally, garden - services are my fulltime occupation, so the care of your furry family member is my top priority. Because I work for myself, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate my clients' needs. When staying at a client's home, my practice is to leave it cleaner than when I arrived. I value my clients' trust as one of my greatest assets, and can ensure that your home and property will be respected at all times.
“Coryn was great! She went out of her way to meet with Milagro, and even do a group walk beforehand, to get her comfortable with the transition. She was very accommodating on drop off/pick up as well. Milagro enjoyed her stay very much (especially the trip to the park). Thanks Coryn.”
“Kristen and Family were awesome. They made our puppy feel at home right from the time we dropped Hansi to them. For all seven days we received consistently pictures and videos of our puppy. We would definitely use their services again. Thanks you for looking after Hansi so well.”
“Thank you DelLisa. 12 days is a long time to be away from our girl. But, with your pics and updates we knew that she was well cared. She had a ball with her new doggy friends. And, thanks for bathing her too. She was a happy as can be when we picked her up!”
“Emil was a great host for Hugo. He quickly made Hugo feel at home, and his house and yard are great locations for visiting pups. His dog Barkley was very chill and welcomed Hugo as well.. Emil was very good at communication and flexible when my timing changed a bit. We will definitely keep Emil and Barkley on our list for future stays.”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“Kim and Joe are absolutely Amazing!!!! Leo LOVES staying with them and I am worry free leaving him in his care! They love on him as if he was their fur baby. They truly are the BEST!! ❤️🐾”

“Molly was an incredible cat-sitter for a whole week. She took our cat to the backyard on a harness for walks at our request, played with him, brushed him, fed him, and gave us great photos of all of this to boot—even some action shots. We came home and he was totally at ease, clearly having just made a new friend. She took up our offer to do a meet and greet and was very communicative and thorough in all aspects. She even noticed when the litter robot was getting low on litter and offered to replenish it, even though she hadn’t deal with one before. We will definitely be requesting her for future trips if she’s available! Thank you, Molly!”
“Thanks for going above and beyond taking care of our kitty again this week. We can always rest easy when we’re out of town, knowing you’ll take good care of her when you stop by!”
“Erin did a wonderful job with our kitties again as always! They love her and she even got the shy one to beg for some belly rubs. Will definitely book with Erin again for future visits!”
“Asher did a great job with my three dogs while we went on vacation. He was reliable and very communicative. I would recommend him and plan to use his services in the future.”
“Nicole is the pet sitter we have been searching for. She genuinely cares for our two cats and always gives them 100% attention during the drop-in visits. Our furbabies are very well taken care of and happy. They have fun with her and trust her as well. Nicole also takes such cute pictures and many of them, making the time away from our cats easier.”
“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”
“Sam was great! Came to check on the kitties and made sure they were okay for a couple days while we were gone. Sadly they are shy so they werent out much, but I felt comfort knowing they were okay.”
About: Hi, I'm Bradley! By day, I'm a pilot, which means I naturally bring focus on safety, communication, and extreme reliability to everything I do. But when I'm on the ground, my real passion is hanging out with dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a long walk or a shy rescue who needs a patient, calm presence to feel safe, I tailor my care to exactly what they need. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. Because of my aviation background, I'm a stickler for routine, text updates, and keeping your pets safe and happy. I can't wait to meet your pup! I currently am on an extended break from work so I will be available almost all the time. I update my schedule frequently, so my availability is always accurate. Safety and providing an enjoyable experience are paramount for me. I understand every dog is different and like to provide a tailored experience for my clients. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means double-checking doors, using secure leashes in all public or unfenced spaces, and strictly following any medical or dietary routines you have. I adapt entirely to your dog's comfort level.
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life, so I understand how unique each one is — from curious explorers to quiet companions. My calm and patient nature helps even shy or nervous cats feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m experienced in giving cats medication — whether pills, liquids, or special diets — and I’m gentle and confident in making the process as stress-free as possible. I also pay close attention to routines, from feeding and enrichment to keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. Most importantly, I treat every cat as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and an understanding that every feline has their own personality and pace.
About: I've lived with 3-4 cats all of my life and have house sat numerous friends/family cats over the years. My family and friends joke I'm the "Cat whisperer" They seem to naturally gravitate to me whenever I show up. I've moved out and do not have a furry friend of my own at the moment, but I'd love to take care of yours. What you can expect of me: Calm, predictable care style: I’m steady, gentle, and consistent — the exact environment most cats thrive in. Deep understanding of cat behavior: I read body language well and adjust my approach so shy or anxious cats feel safe. Experience with senior cats: I’m comfortable with slower routines, medication schedules, and keeping things peaceful for older cats. Low‑stress presence: I don’t force interaction. I let cats come to me on their terms, which builds trust quickly.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet.

“Kristan took care of my senior cat for a long weekend and overall it was a great experience. Communication, timeliness and attentiveness to his conditions were all top notch. I appreciated her efforts to play with him and make him comfortable despite his timidness and anxiety. I would have no issues leaving him in her care again :)”
About: I love working with all animals from dogs and cats to lizards and parakeets! I have a very flexible schedule for the most part and would work on your time. My past experience was boarding with a Labrador, so big dogs are great for me. I also have done a couple drop ins for a chihuahua and loved him. I am great with all sizes of dogs (and cats). I have a golden doodle of my own and he is 110 pounds so walking and taking care of bigger dogs is no problem! I am going into a veterinary career and would love to be more hands on with all different types of animals. The more the merrier! I would love to watch or walk multiple animals at once! I have an open schedule to care for your furry friends. I would love to take your dogs on an early morning or afternoon walk.

“Great experience. Laura was waiting for Bryce and greeted him immediately. She sent pictures within an hour and I could tell he was behaving as always. Very comforting. And topper I sent a message when we would be there for pickup and she had him watching at the front door. Nice transition. I’m hopeful to use her frequently while I’m in town.”

About: It’s my first summer on Rover! I started in July of ‘26. I have lots of experience with my own two cats. And I’ve helped with dog walks and drop in visits a few times now. I have 8 years of experience in behavioral work with children and lots of those skills can be applied to cats and dogs. I’m working for a school Monday - Friday so please keep that in mind when making requests! I’ll be available on most weekends. I’m located in Clarkston and if you are too or in Lake Orion or Auburn Hills then we’d be a good match! I have two indoor only cats. They’re both ginger girls so they’re both very social and loving with their dad and I. They love it when we’re home with them to cuddle, get kisses and treats!
About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I also have experience caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities.

Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters and fish for almost my entire life. I am very passionate about animals and would love to meet yours too! I’m looking for part time pet care to help take care of financial obligations. I’m willing to travel to you and don’t mind taking pets for walks. I never miss giving my cat Shiraz a full, healthy meal and making sure she is healthy and up to date on all of her vaccines.
About: I am 33, and I have had a wide range of pets my entire life including dogs, horses, and rodents! I currently chicken-sit, dog visit, bird watch, and occasionally have cats grace me with their presence. My dog is 2.5 years old and generally goes with me to tend to the animals, but I can leave her at home if that is a deal breaker! I live my life so Lady can have a very full one. We go on walks, hikes, or runs every day in any type of weather (Thanks to Michigan). My schedule is all over the place but it allows for me to be flexible. Let me know if I can help! I currently work 30-35 hours a week during the summer and I have winter months off. My summer work generally starts around 3:00 and goes until 10 so I have my mornings and early afternoons free. I treat everyone's house like my own! Trust and respect make up the foundation of my life and line of work. These pets are my family and will be treated as such -if you like your family ;)
“Misty was great! She cared for my two dogs for an evening at her house which has a fenced yard so they could be outside much of the time, which they love. She was very loving and caring, and took great care of them. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have always known the love of having a pet. Whether that was hamsters, reptiles, cats, dogs, and even hermit crabs. I have found love for each individual species, including snakes! I have been training my previous dog since I was 15 and was able to teach her to sit, shake, and release. I currently have a senior cat who is prone to seizures and is partially blind and deaf. I have been caring for him for 6 years now and he is my everything. I am currently pursuing my masters degree and am interning as well so my schedule can be tight sometimes! I will communicate with you if there are any scheduling conflicts. I can shift around my schedule where needed so let's talk more about what you need and we can work through it together to make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I can care for your best friend in whatever is best suited their needs. For my cat, Peanut, he receives oral liquid medication 3x a day at strict times. For my roommates cat who is also a senior, Fig, she receives a pill medication that is taken orally. I have experience in giving medication to animals. If an animal needs any special care, I will pay close attention to the instructions to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“We’ve had such a great experience with Anna! She’s taken care of our dog multiple times now, and each time she’s been incredibly reliable, communicative, and an absolute joy to work with. Our dog clearly loves her, and we always feel confident knowing he’s in good hands. Most recently, she reached out ahead of time to check in about the weather—specifically the rain and poor air quality—and offered to do a quick bathroom break with indoor playtime instead of a full walk. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and flexibility, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I have taken care of lots of pets growing up. My parents dog is in her senior years so getting a lot of practice with that as well. I love animals but my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I miss having one around. I work a hybrid position so my schedule can be more flexible on some days! I am also open most nights after the work day and on weekends! I live in an apartment so my home is not the best for a pet at the moment, but I am very respectful in someone else’s space and prefer a clean environment so I will always pick up after myself & your pet.
About: Over the span of 15 years I’ve had three dogs and two cats. I grew up with animals and love to take care of them. I have experience with dog walking and pet drop ins! I love animals and now that I am finished with college my availability is open more during the week to watch. I love having animals around and love to spend time walking them. Whenever I have someone’s pet at my house I always make sure they are comfortable as can be whether I am around them and giving them affection.
About: I have been taking care of dogs all my life. I grew up with two and currently have a Husky and Terrier. On the days I am in the office (Typically M-W) I will only be available for drop ins/walks after 2:30 pm and early mornings. I do ask that if you need me M-W that times are flexible, I cannot always do hard set times. When I am WFH, I am available all day. Friends and family over the years have relied on me to watch over their fur babies, stop in and check on them for a simple belly scratch and potty break, all the way to staying the night to give them piece of mind while they're gone. I currently work full time. M-W I am able to stop into clients homes after I get off work, after 3. Thursday and Friday I work from home so besides meetings, I am able to drop in at any time of the day. Saturdays and Sundays I am pretty flexible as well :) Each client is different but I will learn what is best for their pet when I meet them. I won't crate their pet unless asked. Going outside with pets when they're out doing their business, and keeping them on a leash to keep them safe is my standard for caring for anyones pet. The parents know best and I'd follow their rules.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family members and close friends. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about animals, and I strive to create an stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I work only two days a week, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most days and can work around your schedule to ensure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in my home by letting them roam wherever they please & make my home their home. And when taking care of them in their own homes I respect their home as if it were my own. I stick to schedules that the animal is on whether that be in my home or theirs!
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7.

About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside.

“My boy Chauncey stayed with Dan and Clare for three nights four days. I was sent multiple forgraphs to show how he was faring including him eating and sleeping. I had a GPS collar on him which showed the amount of play time and rest time he was given. (A LOT)!! Their yard is huge and fenced. Unfortunately my dog has learning to jump over cyclone fencing the week before staying with Dan and Clare; therefore, I put his GPS collar on him. They watched my sweet naughty (sporting dog - very concentrated on looking for creatures and can lose his mind by only having those thoughts in his head ;-) ) and I could tell much attention was given to watching out for him and guaranteeing he was safe. Their three dogs - after they bark upon your arrival - are very sweet and very accepting of newcomers. I would use them again in a heart beat. I travel on the road with my dog and also spend time in Texas so it will be hit and miss when the need arrives. However, should you want a safe, clean, dog "resort" for your pup go here. Lots of new smells, critters to chase and great hosts for your four legged family member, Thank you Dan and Clare!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“Laura was the best sitter ever! She sent pictures along with daily updates every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog with Laura was the most comfortable I have ever felt with anyone ever. Thank you Laura!”
“Lia, Jonathan and their entire family are amazing! This was the first time I have used Rover, so I was very nervous. Jonathan and Lia sent updates, photos and videos throughout the day. They put my mind at ease and I was able to have a wonderful vacation. I think my sweet girl misses them, but we already booked her next two stays with them!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our boys with Bailey & Chase! It’s the longest we’ve been away from them but it was like they were on their own vacation! Such a great yard for playing and they get the best care! So happy to have found a place they love to go and feel comfortable at! ❤️🐶🐕🦺🐾”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“So, this was our first time doing this and honestly best experience we could ask for! Amanda was fantastic we did a meet and greet a day prior and it was great seeing our dogs enjoy other dogs other than each other. The pictures were sent and we loved that! Again if I could give 10 I would give 10 stars!”
“Thea was amazing! She was not only great with my dog but she kept me updated the entire time I was out of town! She kept my dog so happy and entertained the entire time he was with her that he came home exhausted! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter”
“April is a wonderful sitter! She’s very caring, always friendly, keeps you informed, easy to communicate with…. Just wonderful! She took care of our Golden a few times and we love to book her again and again. Thank you April, traveling is much easier knowing Abbie is with you!”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
“Lyndsey and Justin went above and beyond for our dog! I could tell from the first meeting that our dog was going to be in great hands! It certainly made our 10 days away much easier not having to worry about our girl! We received communication and many cute pictures of their young daughter giving our girl lots of love!! We Would highly recommend them for your dog, And we will certainly use them again! A huge thank you to this very sweet and loving family!”
“Coryn was great! She went out of her way to meet with Milagro, and even do a group walk beforehand, to get her comfortable with the transition. She was very accommodating on drop off/pick up as well. Milagro enjoyed her stay very much (especially the trip to the park). Thanks Coryn.”
“Kristen and Family were awesome. They made our puppy feel at home right from the time we dropped Hansi to them. For all seven days we received consistently pictures and videos of our puppy. We would definitely use their services again. Thanks you for looking after Hansi so well.”
“Thank you DelLisa. 12 days is a long time to be away from our girl. But, with your pics and updates we knew that she was well cared. She had a ball with her new doggy friends. And, thanks for bathing her too. She was a happy as can be when we picked her up!”
“Emil was a great host for Hugo. He quickly made Hugo feel at home, and his house and yard are great locations for visiting pups. His dog Barkley was very chill and welcomed Hugo as well.. Emil was very good at communication and flexible when my timing changed a bit. We will definitely keep Emil and Barkley on our list for future stays.”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“Kim and Joe are absolutely Amazing!!!! Leo LOVES staying with them and I am worry free leaving him in his care! They love on him as if he was their fur baby. They truly are the BEST!! ❤️🐾”
“This was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t family and Krysia made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Mochi had so many adventures and we loved seeing photos of her enjoying her time with Krysia. We will definitely be booking future visits for Mochi!”
“Annette was AMAZING with our dog! We were a little hesitant leaving her for a week, but Annette and her dog Ethel soon made us very comfortable with being gone! We received many pictures and updates throughout the week!! Our girl looked so happy and well taken care of! Annette made such an effort to make sure our dog felt loved while we were gone - and it showed!! We will definitely be using Annette again in the future!”
