“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“If your dog loves to swim, Pamela’s house is the place to bring them! Our Goldendoodle loved his weekend at Pamela’s! She and her husband took great care of him and let him swim in the pool! He’ll be back for sure :)”
“Beth was super loving and caring for my kittycat 😺 This was her first time with a cat, and she did great! Communication was ever present with pics to help me feel at ease😊”
“Katy did an excellent job taking care of our pup while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, it was clear that she took great care of him!”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Micheal & his family were wonderful to Ripley! He was kept busy and given lots of love; Ripley’s Velcro personality was satisfied. Will be using Michael again - great care giver.”
“Kim sent us pictures everyday helping us to see our pets interacting with the family and their dogs. Her communication helped us enjoy our vacation without worry and I am quite sure my two labradors had a fun vacation as well. When we came home I am sure my dogs missed their new friends. Thank you so much Kim and family!”
“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Great couple to deal with. Very personable and willing to answer any questions you have. Frances sent pics and an update daily which I consider above and beyond. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of and let us relax on our vacation! Would definitely use them again for a weekend or longer! Thank you!”
“My two dogs stayed with Jenai and Sean and had the best time! I got regular updates from them about how things were going, and they were happy and loved during their stay! They came home exhausted from all of the fun! Definitely recommended!!”
“We had Tasha watch our Molly and were very happy with the attention and care given to her. She always kept us updated with messages and pictures of her stay and happiness. Tasha went out of her way to make molly feel part of her family. Set up a meet and greet to introduce her dog and family to us. Definitely recommend and will be using her again. Accommodated with us picking molly up on short notice”
“Jina took excellent care of Winston! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated daily, Winston had a wonderful time and was a very happy boy. We highly recommend Jina, and we look forward to letting Winston stay with her again soon.”
“Daina and Samuel took such fantastic care of my dogs! Daina is so incredibly sweet, communicative, understanding and flexible. I was kept up to date on all of the fun walks they went on and I got enough photos to keep my dog mom heart so very happy. I highly recommend Daina and Samuel if you are looking for somebody to take care of your pet(s). I will definitely be asking them to watch mine again. :)”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”

“Trisch was great! She’s let out my dog Poppy several times while I was at work. She was really responsive and communicative. And my dog Poppy loved her mid-day walk with Trisch. We’ll definitely use her again!”
About: 10 years dog owner and lifetime cat owner. Very patient and caring with animals. Good at following instructions if special care is needed. Not scared of large dogs. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting walks or what ever the job requires. I have two large dogs Rottweiler and Pitt Rottweiler mix and three cats. Dogs are cat friendly. Large yard and crate is available upon request if needed.
About: I am kind, compassionate, loving dog-owner seeking to take care of dogs on the weekends whether its just a walk or boarding in my home. I have a very sweet 60lb border collie/beagle mix named Bella who is 8 years old and full of playful energy. She currency has separation anxiety that I am currently treating in home and with a professional. I rarely leave her so I am always home on the weekends and can offer your dog a lot of attention and play time. I am extremely patient and exude a positive energy allowing dogs to feel very comfortable. Regular walks and positive reinforcement are all inclusive! If your dog also suffered from separation anxiety, this is a great option for them. I have a full-time job during the week but weekend boarding and walks are always available,
“Mallory did a great job with all of my animals and some are not so easy to care for but she gave it her all. Gave me daily updates and pictures too, I would highly recommend Mallory for pet sitting.”
“We are so happy to have found Melissa on Rover! We appreciated that she came to meet us beforehand to get to know us and our kitties. Melissa sent us notes and photos daily. Melissa, thank you for taking such good care of our kit kats!”
“Taylor took great care of our dogs, Kodiak and Miska, and was willing and able to help us out on short notice. Miska got her meds each day just as we asked. Taylor is very reliable and I can tell she loves caring for dogs.”
About: I treat my dogs like my kids. I give them plenty of love and attention and would do the same with yours. Dogs are called man's best friend for a reason, so why not treat them the way that we would treat our best friend. They deserve to be spoiled and pampered. I walk my dogs every morning, noon, after work and bedtime daily in order to keep up their health and well being so that they will be here for a long time. Dogs are so compassionate and understanding. I feel like they truly can tell when something is wrong and they try to comfort you in any way they know how, if only then knew that just by sitting with us they are helping to provide the comfort needed.
“Jennica was great with our boy! He’s super energetic so a midday playtime is exactly what he needs when we’re not home. Her pictures and updates were great, our dog looked like he had a great time!! Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been a nanny before for 6 months, I’ve watched dogs for people on vacation. I really put my heart into it and care for animals and humans alike! I am active and love getting outside and playing with your pets or giving them special attention and love! I am pretty open and looking for it to be my full time job. I’d love to build relationships with my clients and prove that I’m a trustworthy and reliable animal watcher. I cuddle and pet my dogs, brush them every other day and bathe them around once a week, depending on how dirty they are. I typically walk them once a day and allow them to get some fresh air at the park and get fresh air!
About: I have a little self-proclaimed homestead with 2 German Shepherds, 2 indoor cats, 3 outdoor barn cats, chickens, and honeybees. My dogs love to run and play outside, so I provide toys to keep them engaged. They love it when I chase them around the yard and play too! They're not big fans of bathtime but we've got to keep them clean! My cats are very high maintenance but I wouldn't have it any other way. Our outdoor kitties are very adventurous! I enjoy finding toys and food they'll love and grooming them. My furbabies require a lot of love and attention, I adore them all and would love to spread some TLC out to the cats, dogs, and any critters in my community. I love caring for all animals! I am constantly caring for my own fur babies morning and night, but I would love to help you out on the weekends as my availability allows! When I am at a clients home, I really like to respect their wishes and care for their animals as they would. I try to go over as many details as possible as far as where they can go on the property and if they prefer the pup to be on a leash or not.
“Amie is the best! Perfect communication, responsive, always sends photos and is on schedule. Sometimes I wonder of my cats like her more than me!!! Amie is reliable and an overall kind and loving person and I’m grateful to have her to rely on.”
About: I've cared for both healthy cats and cats with underlying conditions. For 10 years I had a cat that was diabetic that I had to administer insulin to. My current cat is 15 and requires a lot of love and attention.My cat Mabel is a rescued kitten/ cat almost 16 years ago on Halloween night while coming home from work , about 4 cars ahead of me something went flying out the window . I was able to stop and pull over due to not having other cars behind me . It was very cold that night and the sun was just starting to set . I got out of my car and looked around for a few minutes but didn't see anything and I got ready to leave I hear faint cry and I turned and looked down into some tall weeds and there she was , this poor malnourished kitten crying for help . To make a long story short I got her home and the day my wife and I took her to vet . They kept her for 3 days running ivs into her . We able to come and after 3 days thinking she wasn't going make it. And here she is still with after such a traumatic start to her life . I am very grateful to have Mabel as my best friend and wouldn't trade for the world . I love you very much Mabel .
About: I grew up with pets and have always wanted to become a veterinarian. I have done dog sitting since I was old enough to stay alone. I had a small grooming business in my home for about a year before moving to Michigan. I have had my own pets ever since childhood. I’m a mama of two human babies and two fur babies and I have a big heart. I’m reliable, honest and caring. I currently work from home part time and would love to spend some extra time with new furry friends. My part time schedule is a set schedule. I’m very open about my availability and if something were to come up I make sure to inform my clients. When in your home with your pets, I am very respectful of your space and your pets. I will follow feeding and walking schedules as laid out or discussed. I know how important schedules are for pets (and humans). I understand trust takes time with both humans and pets and I’m very patient and understanding. I want my clients to know that their pets are safe with me, always. I’m open to answer any questions at any time.

“Can’t say enough nice things about the experience! Jina was very kind and kept good communication with me and even sent some pics during my boys first time being dog-sat. Good location on the way to south haven beach!”
“Debbie did a great job watching our mini golden doodle while we were having trees cut down. Rosa warmed up to her quickly. Will be bringing Rosa over to her house for some overnights this summer.”
About: I I've had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. When I was nine we in moved to little farm. It been perfect place to have animals. I have loved taking care all kind of animals… from gold fish to dogs to chicken and goats. I learned something new from each one. I’m currently available to take care of your dogs at my house Monday through Thursday. I will make sure they have outside time every two hour. When I take care of our friends and family dogs. I will feed them, walk them, play with them, and take them outside every two hour
About: Intuitive dog/cat mom, I will find a way to any canine heart. I grew up with dogs in our house and was taught to treat them no less than family members, having said that, I need to confess I am the worst person when it comes to disciplining a dog, but if you have some simple rules for your canine companion, I will follow them. My own puppy is seven years old and he is a spoiled little one, but is a gentle and sweet young fellow, his sister is a quiet long haired kitty. I love them both so much. I am an artist and a student at IUSB, but I have plenty of time between classes for long walks and other quality care your pets deserve. I live in a quiet neighborhood, overlooking a small pond, there is a fenced dog yard right outside my apartment building as well as many acres of green lawns to frolic upon.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.
About: Big or small, I love them all! 💕 I’ve had pets since I was a small child. I’ve cared for sick puppies & kittens, elderly cats & dogs. I have 3 years experience working at a pet bathing company. There I learned a lot about proper hygiene of various breeds and how to safely handle aggressive pets. I also have 400+ hours of volunteer horse care at an equine therapy barn. I walk my own dog daily and he is high energy. I’m always in search of play pals for him to burn energy with. Let us walk your pup! I love to snuggle my pets & make sure they are clean and bug free. I can bathe and lightly groom your pets when needed. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. ❤️
“Mike took great care of my girl for the day! She was able to run around & play with new friends and then rest in the home without needing a crate. I can tell he treats all of his clients like family.”
“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and love dogs. I have taken care of lots of dogs. Walking them, feeding them, brushing them, and most of all giving attention and love to them so they do not feel anxious or sad when their family is away. I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.
About: I have rescued all of my dogs and fostered many for over 15 years. I help families find their next family member and have re-homed all my fosters. My fosters vary from carrying for pregnant dogs, to puppies, to seniors. I have done it all. I am currently able to work from home most of the time so I am available all week. If I do have appointments I have kennels for all the dogs to ensure their safety. I will accommodate whatever their routine is to keep them comfortable. I have 3 dogs to keep others busy. I have a fenced yard and also live on a lake if they like to swim or boat.

“Hanna has been a lifesaver as me and my dog Poppy adjust to the area and with the move! Poppy loves going to Hanna’s and playing with her new friends. Poppy is super anxious around other dogs, but she LOVES Hanna’s pups. It’s such a great feeling as a pet owner to know when I drop Poppy off she’s more excited to be there than she is to be at home!”

About: I have three years of experience working at a reputable dog daycare, one year of experience working alongside a trainer, training puppies, and one year of experience working as a trainer assistant, assisting with training service dogs. I also have experience caring for my own dogs, rodents, and ducks. I have time to offer drop-ins or walks during the week—most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will also sometimes take weekend or holiday requests. Feel free to reach out with a message about scheduling questions!

About: As much as we want to bring our pets everywhere with us sometimes, we can’t. But that shouldn’t mean your pet isn’t living their best life possible. I can check in on your pet for some company, pets and play time, treats, meals, water, and a walk. I can also do anything else they may need. My goal is to give your pet a better day and give you a peace of mind knowing your pet is happy. I grew up on a farm with all animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and horses. I was in a dog club growing up and learned basic dog training skills. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs needing special assistance and medications. I’ve helped care for multiple animals and hope to have the opportunity to care for yours too. I’m working part time in (human) healthcare. As much as I love people, I want to spend more time with animals on my days off. I work every Monday and Wednesday and am busy Saturday most of the time. My schedule changes once in a while but this is the general availability. I am mostly available morning and afternoon until about 3pm. Please ask for any specific times though anytime and I’ll see if it ends up working out. Thanks! 😊 My goal is to make sure your dog is as well cared for as if you were there yourself. I can do what you request. I can feed, water, potty break, medication administration, play time and pets, or go for a walk. I can leave them out or crate when I leave.
About: Offering the upmost in care and attention for your furry friends. I love dogs, and I mean love more than people. Love as in I want to hug and pet all the dogs. I have many years experience caring for my own dogs as well as others. I am happy to do anything you need from overnights (your place or mine), to walks to check in’s throughout your time away; be it a day a week or month :) I have worked previously with Wag and volunteer with the Austin Animal shelter regularly. If I had any land, I would adopt all of the senior and other dogs that no one wanted from animal shelters and love them fiercely for the rest of their days!
About: I have connected with dogs my entire life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I enjoy the company of dogs so much that I have spent years in the pet care industry, and have been officially a "dog mom" for past nine years to my own delightful fur babies. I have worked and lived with dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and abilities and I love them all! I am currently looking for new clients who are looking for mid-day dog walker. I am a freelancer so I am able to control my over schedule. I am so grateful to be able to provide year-round dog walking services. As someone who loves nature, dogs, and the seasons, I enjoy providing regular walks to pets whose parents may not be able to fit a mid-day walk in their daily schedule. With any dog-sitting services, I also provide regular walks as well as the feeding, caretaking, and snuggling of your pets!
“Jennifer was able to help me out this week when my regular walker was sick and I was in a pinch. My senior pup loves her and she even gets him to go potty in the rain. She’s professional, responsive and I’ll definitely be contacting her in the future!”
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have had my own animals for a long time! I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and have worked as a pet sitter since I was 17 (13 years). I currently work part-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I'm able to be relatively flexible with my visits and walks. I'm available some weekends as well. I can crate dogs after walks or a drop in visit as needed, and I'm comfortable feeding and administering medications for whichever pets may need them.
About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a professional canine trainer, behaviorist, groomer, and full-time caretaker with 12 years of hands-on experience. I’m certified in dog behavior, temperament, body language, and care—so I understand what dogs need to feel safe, confident, and happy. I create enriching, balanced environments where every dog can thrive. From playful activities to structured downtime and personalized attention for pups with unique needs, I tailor each day to your dog’s individual personality. With me, your furry family member is treated like my own—showered with love, positive guidance, and plenty of tail-wagging fun! I give every dog my full attention, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Most days, you’ll find us outside soaking up the fresh air—running, playing, and exploring together. And if you ever wonder where I am, I’m probably out back with the pack having a blast. When winter hits, we move the fun into our heated, pup-friendly garage. It’s set up just for them, with turf or rubber mats for comfort and tons of toys to keep tails wagging. No matter the weather, your dog will always have a cozy, engaging, and joyful space to call their home-away-from-home. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Our fully fenced-in backyard is designed with your dog’s comfort and enjoyment in mind, featuring pools, toys, water bowls, and all the essentials for a fun and enriching experience. Each dog is fed separately to maintain a peaceful and individualized routine. For dogs who prefer more privacy, we provide private rooms to ensure they have a quiet space away from the other dogs when needed. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized environment for every dog in our care.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets for 5 years all different sizes. Big and small and I love every minute of it! I’m currently working part time in Kalamazoo but Still have plenty of time to be able to play with your pets! My schedule does change weekly. I play with them, feed them and take them on walks. If they want they can sleep in my room or bed with me as well!
About: I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — from high-energy adventurers who love long walks to gentle souls who just want cuddles and calm company. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and at ease. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter so my schedule is quite flexible. Tuesdays are taken up but outside of that I’m very flexible! I have a dog friendly home with an open back yard. All dogs will be leashed at all times whether in your home or mine. Dogs in my home are dog friendly as well!
About: I’m a dedicated dog owner myself. I understand the daily care, patience, and love that pets need because I live it every day with my own pup. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, puppies who are still learning, and senior dogs that require a little extra attention and gentle care. I know how important structure and consistency are, so I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, training reinforcement, or giving meds, I treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a startup founder, I have the freedom to set my own meeting times, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. In my care, pets get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I can also help reinforce training, stick to feeding routines, and keep them active and happy while you’re away.
About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I am an animal lover; I have been my entire life.I have experience working with senior animals, I have experience with administering all medications; whether it’s injections, oral liquids, or pills, or topicals. I treat my dog and my cat like they’re part of my family. I want your pets to feel loved while you’re away, so I will do everything I can to ensure that happens. I will make sure they are fed exactly as you need me to, I will administer medications (if they need them), we will go on walks, and if they are allowed to sleep in a bed, they can sleep with me also. I will make sure your home is straightened up before your return as well. I have a completely open schedule; so I can stop over any time of the day that you need care. Whether it’s early morning, or late evening, I can make that work for you. I will treat your home as if it is my own home. I will clean up after your pet and myself. I can administer medications (if needed), I will feed as you need me to; and I promise to give your pet lots of love and cuddles.
“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“If your dog loves to swim, Pamela’s house is the place to bring them! Our Goldendoodle loved his weekend at Pamela’s! She and her husband took great care of him and let him swim in the pool! He’ll be back for sure :)”
“Beth was super loving and caring for my kittycat 😺 This was her first time with a cat, and she did great! Communication was ever present with pics to help me feel at ease😊”
“Katy did an excellent job taking care of our pup while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, it was clear that she took great care of him!”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Micheal & his family were wonderful to Ripley! He was kept busy and given lots of love; Ripley’s Velcro personality was satisfied. Will be using Michael again - great care giver.”
“Kim sent us pictures everyday helping us to see our pets interacting with the family and their dogs. Her communication helped us enjoy our vacation without worry and I am quite sure my two labradors had a fun vacation as well. When we came home I am sure my dogs missed their new friends. Thank you so much Kim and family!”
“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Great couple to deal with. Very personable and willing to answer any questions you have. Frances sent pics and an update daily which I consider above and beyond. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of and let us relax on our vacation! Would definitely use them again for a weekend or longer! Thank you!”
“My two dogs stayed with Jenai and Sean and had the best time! I got regular updates from them about how things were going, and they were happy and loved during their stay! They came home exhausted from all of the fun! Definitely recommended!!”
“We had Tasha watch our Molly and were very happy with the attention and care given to her. She always kept us updated with messages and pictures of her stay and happiness. Tasha went out of her way to make molly feel part of her family. Set up a meet and greet to introduce her dog and family to us. Definitely recommend and will be using her again. Accommodated with us picking molly up on short notice”
“Jina took excellent care of Winston! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated daily, Winston had a wonderful time and was a very happy boy. We highly recommend Jina, and we look forward to letting Winston stay with her again soon.”
“Daina and Samuel took such fantastic care of my dogs! Daina is so incredibly sweet, communicative, understanding and flexible. I was kept up to date on all of the fun walks they went on and I got enough photos to keep my dog mom heart so very happy. I highly recommend Daina and Samuel if you are looking for somebody to take care of your pet(s). I will definitely be asking them to watch mine again. :)”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
