Highly-rated overnight sitters - Leslie
“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“Caroline and her family were great sitters for my “baby”. Our dog had opportunities to play indoors and outdoors. Caroline provided videos and messages to ensure we were aware of how she was doing. She was also responsive to our feeding schedule and questions. I will definitely use Caroline again!”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”

“Highly recommend Amber! Our dogs looked so happy each time she sent pictures or videos, she has a great fenced in yard for them to run around in and even allows dogs on furniture and beds. Hands down my dogs favorite part I’m sure! Her sweet daughter even bought my dogs a toy, they love their new “baby”. Thank you Amber!!”
“Kim was such a wonderful caretaker of my two boys! They had a great time with her, and I was so appreciative of the many photos and updates she provided me. I will definitely be returning!”
“Kasey was amazing! She was so good with Buddy. I felt so comfortable leaving him. She has a perfect set up for the dogs. Her dogs were great with Buddy too even though they were much larger. They were very kind and gentle. She was great at sending pics and communication. I would highly recommend Kasey!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of our family, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. Over the past 15 years, we’ve shared our home with four dogs, including caring for three into their senior years through age-related and chronic health conditions. We’ve also raised a litter of puppies, giving us experience with young dogs and the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. We have a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our three dog-loving children have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. While we’re not looking to add another dog to our family permanently, we’d love to open our home to yours. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, family environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. Potty breaks, outdoor play, walks (if requested), feeding, medication, and plenty of affection are all easily incorporated into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, so they won’t just be supervised—they’ll be part of our family’s day. Whether your pup loves to play, relax, or simply be near people, they’ll receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with us. I also make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will have supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the routine they’re used to at home. Our home has a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and all dogs are monitored while outside. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, and I treat each guest as if they were one of my own. I also understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time.
“Brooke is Awesome and we are so Blessed to have found her for our Sparky !!!!! We have booked with her 5 times over the past year and the most recent trip Sparky stayed with Brooke for 13 nights. It is so comforting to know Sparky is loved and very well taken care of !!!! We look forward to our daily updates and pictures that Brooke always sends us showing Sparky happy and having fun with Brooke, her husband Ben and their puggles Buddy and Tobi !!!! Sparky has separation anxiety but each time she stays with Brooke, Sparky adapts easier and quicker ?!!! Sparky's first couple stays with Brooke were doggy day care. When we booked Sparky's first overnights, Brooke was so very flexible and kind to agree to stay in our home overnight with Sparky for 2 nights and then transitioned Sparky to her home for the remaining 3 nights to help Sparky ease into staying away from home with her anxiety for the first time. With Brooke's help Sparky is a champ now and each drop off is easier !!!!! We are so Thankful for Brooke and her Family !!!!!!”
“Alice is awesome. She was attentive, and also sent daily pics and updates, which was greatly appreciated. She made our first time using Rover a good one, we hope to be able to book with Alice again. Thank you :)”
“Olivia is super friendly and helpful. She kept my cat in good mood, so good that he kind of refused to leave her place when the time was up. I will certainly come back to Olivia if I need someone to take care of my cat in the future.”
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Mandy was so great with our dog Juni! Juni got sick while we were away and Mandy was super communicative and helped us get information to the vet. It was a really stressful situation but Mandy handled it so well and we can't thank her enough!”

“Kaitlin took great care of our babies while we were away! Both kitties were happy and relaxed when we returned. I loved receiving photos and updates at each visit. Absolutely will hire her next time.”
“Gina is the world’s best kitty sitter. We never worry when she takes care of our baby. We just left her for 8 days, which was a really long time for us, and we’re got wonderful notes and pictures every day. Our kitty was just fine when we came home. Thank you Gina for another great job.”
About: While I’m new to caring for other people’s cats, I share my home with two of my own—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that cats have their own rules. I know how to give them space when they want it, attention when they ask for it, and how to spot the little signs that tell you something’s off. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a fellow cat parent who gets it.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 for family and friends. I have watched all types of dogs, large, small, young, and old as well as some cats. I am an active person that enjoys exercise but I also love nature so I can go at whatever speed your dog prefers. I am a graduate student at MSU so I keep a busy schedule, but I will always find time for your pets and treat them as my own! Although I am not certified I have trained my own dogs and can adjust to whatever level of obedience you are looking to attain. I also volunteer at an animal sanctuary so I have experience with all kinds of animals besides just cats and dogs. I would love to be able to assist you with any of the services I can provide for your furry friends! I am a graduate student so I do have classes during the fall and spring term and MSU employs me part-time as a teaching assistant. I do have availability inside and outside the working hours of the day depending on the day of the week during classes. In the summers, I currently work on research for MSU but have flexible scheduling to fit your pet care needs. I am a detail-oriented person and will care for your pets exactly the way you would in your own home. I also will treat your home as if it was my own and clean up after myself and your pets, and make sure your house is safe and secure while you are gone. I will be happy to take care of your pets and make sure they are well-taken care of until you return!
About: I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a calm, attentive approach to pet care. My experience includes working with dogs on basic obedience and providing dedicated senior care, including administering medications. I'm highly patient and capable of giving your pets the personalized time and attention they deserve to thrive while you're away. I'm currently maintaining a full-time schedule, but my availability opens up perfectly for daytime pet care. I'm available to care for your beloved animals Monday through Saturday, specifically from twelve noon until five o'clock in the afternoon, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive service while I start building this exciting clientele. I create a secure, attentive environment where each pet's health, nutrition, and safety are my highest priorities during visits and walks. I'm diligent with medication schedules, custom feeding plans, and providing constant, loving care to ensure complete peace of mind.
“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”
“Brooklyn is super sweet and was very communicative which I really appreciate! I’ve never used Rover or any other site to find someone to watch my baby (my elderly cat) so I was pretty anxious, but Brooklyn was great and I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch my baby!”

Pets, snuggles, activity when appropriate, general maintenance. I engage with each dog one on one and ensure that they're being taken care of.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and started helping care for them as soon as I was about 12 years old. When my childhood kitty passed in May, I decided to start volunteering at the local animal shelter and I have a lot of experience with the shelter babies! I’m also the designated cat sitter for my friends and family and have lots of experience administering medications (my cat has high blood pressure and kidney disease).
About: Ever since I was a child I've been taking care of both cats and dogs. I can take care of your friends in any condition! I also specialize in command training alongside discipline in puppies!! I currently work part time at Meijer in the grocery department. My schedule consists of working Friday-Monday or Thursdays-Monday. I work the morning shift for the store which is 4am-12pm. Which will give me the rest of the day to play and care for your furry family members!! If you have more than one furry friend and can easily separate them if needed and make sure they are both calm with each other if they are in the same area watched very carefully. If they need to be crated I can do that too. I will make sure to my fullest ability for your pet to be safe around each other and me during the process.
About: I have 5+ years experience caring for dogs! My neighbors, family friends, and other have trusted me to take care of their pets with dignity. I currently have my own business training and raising hunting dogs! I work full time during the week 7:30-4:30 which is why weekends work best for me! I’m also able to take my hour lunch early or late if pet care is needed during the weekdays! I understand the importance of respecting an owners wishes on how their pet is cared for in and out of their home. I have 4 dogs of my own that are my whole world. I will treat your pet like mine. I can easily crate/kennel your pet even in urgent situations.
“Maddie is just the best! She is now part of our family! She takes the best care of our 3 cats and loves them as if they were her own! She is always respectful of our home and our space. She communicates excellently and she is our go-to pet sitter!”

About: I have grown up with pets in the house and have always believed our pets are members of our family. When you leave your pet with me, your pet will be treated with love and affection. I understand what your pet means to you and will provide the same safe, loving environment you have at home while caring for your pet. I work from home and am available 24/7 for anything your pet may require. Your pet will become a part of our family and will get daily walks, snuggles, and play time. As an educator for the past 10 years I've been trusted with caring for 100+ children daily, as a building principal.

“Susan was such a wonderful puppy sitter for ginger! I can tell ginger really enjoyed her time 😊 we would recommend Susan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will definitely be back! Much appreciated!”
“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”
About: I have taken care of many animals. I was raised on a dairy farm and my family has had dogs my whole life. My family currently has 3 dogs. I am currently working part time in Onondaga so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I enjoy spending my free time with animals. I live on a farm so I have plenty of room for pups to run around. I also have a fenced in area if needed.
About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I provide regular outdoor breaks, feeding, exercise, and constant supervision throughout the day. I have a dedicated indoor and outdoor roofed kennel setup with five separate kennels, indoor and outdoor cameras for security, and a secure 16×20 fenced play area. Dogs stay in a clean, safe, structured environment with constant monitoring.
“She was amazing, I got updates and photos throughout the day. I was nervous leaving him somewhere but he seemed to love it. I will definitely be bringing him back.😊”
“Mojo had great time playing with the other dogs! Victoria and Rishi we're very nice and accommodating to my schedule changes. We will definitely visit again the next time we're in town.”
“I picked up a very content and sleepy puppy! Kale had a fantastic time and I so appreciated all the photos and videos throughout her stay. Kasey was incredibly accommodating about a last minute visit and took great care of Kale.”
About: I have offered animal care services for 15 years. My experience includes daycare, medication administration, drop in visits, dog walks, and care for other animals such as cats, chickens, and other farm animals! I have little kids so services I offer require your dog be comfortable around kids, although their direct interaction will be limited. I have 2 dogs at my home. I currently work from home and have open availability. I am typically awake early, and can adjust my schedule around your needs with the exception of my kids bedtime routine :) I have a fenced in yard. I offer a crate if needed for eating or breaks. I offer baby gates if needed. I have many years experience and both of my parents have worked in the animal field for all my life.
About: Your dog will be my dog while in my care. I am a huge animal lover who has always made my animals a part of my family, not just an animal. Starting May 4th, I will be training for a new job. My training hours will be 8-5, if you can work around those time please reach out. My yard is not fenced so your babies will only be outside when I am out there with them, leashed if required. I do not agree with leaving a dog alone all night when they are already seeing a difference with their family being gone. If they are dog friendly they would have socialization as well with my friends and family dogs so they could get some interaction and extra exercise! I currently work from home so frequent potty breaks or administration of medication would not be an issue. We would be one big happy family all day long My dogs are not crated when I leave the house but do have an extra large one if required for your baby. If you need me to do a drop in visit, my hours for availability are in the air for the next couple of weeks until I am given my new works hours.
About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.
“My dog (Leo) was very happy at Ellen’s. She kept updating me with pictures of Leo. Ellen’s house has a yard which allowed for Leo to run around, which he loves to do. I would definitely recommend Ellen!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Leslie
About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a big, goofy dog and two sweet cats. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my own animals and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting—and I bring a calm, playful, and structured approach to every visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a good walk, or keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like one of my own: with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pets a new friend they can feel safe and happy with. I currently am a Preschool Teacher so I work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. So I’m available on weekends, a week in October for my Fall Break and during breaks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) for dog sitting. Summers I’m off so I will adjust my days and times when summer draws nearer. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—mealtimes, meds, playtime, litter boxes, the works—and always give your pet the attention, affection, and patience they deserve. For dogs, I bring a calm, structured energy to walks and make sure they get both exercise and fun. For cats, I understand that comfort and familiarity are everything—I move at their pace and respect their boundaries while still making time for play or snuggles if they’re into it. Every visit is about making your pet feel safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you
“Knowing we have reliable care for Kiko when we are away is extremely valuable. Knowing Kiko enjoys her walks with Brooke and Brooke enjoys the time with Kiko is priceless. 🐕🦺♥️”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child in 4H. I’ve had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to hamsters and horses. I have experience with anything from neonatal kittens to senior pets. I’m a major empath and have a soft spot for all animals and creatures. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own,with compassion and common sense. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies ☺️ I actually just moved to the area fairly recently from New Jersey, and I work from home so this would be an ideal way to fill my spare time. ☺️ I come equipped with experience with all kinds of pets, along with common sense and basic compassion for animals. I treat my pets like my children, and I would treat yours with those same standards.

About: I am a college student at Grand Valley State University. I am home for the summer, I have grown up with animals my whole life, and I absolutely love them! Pet care fits into my routine by being something I prioritize every day. Since I have five cats and one Beagle, I have responsibilities like feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, walking my dog, and making sure they're healthy and happy. Being a college student has taught me how to balance these responsibilities with classes, studying, and other commitments. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get exercise and attention, and have a clean-living space. Since I care for five cats and one Beagle at home, I'm comfortable managing multiple pets and following a daily routine. In a client's home, I would carefully follow their care instructions, keep the pets comfortable, and treat both their pets and home with respect.
“Elizabeth came over for a meet and greet before our first booking. She took notes on all the little details and she did great with Gable on the day of the walk!”

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.
“Brooklyn was flexible and easy to work with. I will certainly look for her again next time. We met prior to her scheduled walking of my Pomsky, Razia to give her access to my apartment and discuss details. She is very nice and professional. Thanks, again!”

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!
About: I was a long time dog owner before my best friend Murphy passed away. Have owned cats even longer. Not ready for a new dog yet myself but would love to help out you and your fur babies! I work M-F 9-6 but with lunch hours I can drop in at a reasonable time during the day typically. Also have a side gig on the weekends but happy to work with you on a schedule we can all agree to!

I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.
About: As a kid i’ve always been surrounded by animals, all kinds! I’ve worked with dogs learning how to shake, sit and lay! I’ve dog sat for multiple families and friends and have extended experience. I’ve also volunteered since middleschool to help animals on the streets and many rescues! Dog sitting isn’t just something to do for money, but for love and a hobby! I am a college student who works part time, so working around my schedule will be pretty easy! I often find myself with free time and would love to use it with animals! I’m a very patient person when it comes to animals, my yard is not fenced but I am more than willing to take a walk as many times as needed!

“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“Caroline and her family were great sitters for my “baby”. Our dog had opportunities to play indoors and outdoors. Caroline provided videos and messages to ensure we were aware of how she was doing. She was also responsive to our feeding schedule and questions. I will definitely use Caroline again!”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”

“Highly recommend Amber! Our dogs looked so happy each time she sent pictures or videos, she has a great fenced in yard for them to run around in and even allows dogs on furniture and beds. Hands down my dogs favorite part I’m sure! Her sweet daughter even bought my dogs a toy, they love their new “baby”. Thank you Amber!!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of our family, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. Over the past 15 years, we’ve shared our home with four dogs, including caring for three into their senior years through age-related and chronic health conditions. We’ve also raised a litter of puppies, giving us experience with young dogs and the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. We have a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our three dog-loving children have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. While we’re not looking to add another dog to our family permanently, we’d love to open our home to yours. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, family environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. Potty breaks, outdoor play, walks (if requested), feeding, medication, and plenty of affection are all easily incorporated into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, so they won’t just be supervised—they’ll be part of our family’s day. Whether your pup loves to play, relax, or simply be near people, they’ll receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with us. I also make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will have supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the routine they’re used to at home. Our home has a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and all dogs are monitored while outside. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, and I treat each guest as if they were one of my own. I also understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time.
“Brooke is Awesome and we are so Blessed to have found her for our Sparky !!!!! We have booked with her 5 times over the past year and the most recent trip Sparky stayed with Brooke for 13 nights. It is so comforting to know Sparky is loved and very well taken care of !!!! We look forward to our daily updates and pictures that Brooke always sends us showing Sparky happy and having fun with Brooke, her husband Ben and their puggles Buddy and Tobi !!!! Sparky has separation anxiety but each time she stays with Brooke, Sparky adapts easier and quicker ?!!! Sparky's first couple stays with Brooke were doggy day care. When we booked Sparky's first overnights, Brooke was so very flexible and kind to agree to stay in our home overnight with Sparky for 2 nights and then transitioned Sparky to her home for the remaining 3 nights to help Sparky ease into staying away from home with her anxiety for the first time. With Brooke's help Sparky is a champ now and each drop off is easier !!!!! We are so Thankful for Brooke and her Family !!!!!!”
“Alice is awesome. She was attentive, and also sent daily pics and updates, which was greatly appreciated. She made our first time using Rover a good one, we hope to be able to book with Alice again. Thank you :)”
“Olivia is super friendly and helpful. She kept my cat in good mood, so good that he kind of refused to leave her place when the time was up. I will certainly come back to Olivia if I need someone to take care of my cat in the future.”
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Mandy was so great with our dog Juni! Juni got sick while we were away and Mandy was super communicative and helped us get information to the vet. It was a really stressful situation but Mandy handled it so well and we can't thank her enough!”
“Our fur babies had the best care at Kelly and Brandon's home! They are the kindest, caring, most loving family. Kelly sent daily pictures and updates that put me at peace knowing that they were having the time of their life playing with Arvon or relaxing. Definitely home away from home💕🐾 Thank you again for your exceptional care!”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Belle was well cared for by Krista and enjoyed her stay, especially playing with K's 2 dogs in a large fenced yard. When my wife took ill during our trip and we were stuck in anther town, Krista was able and willing to keep Belle an extra day-and a-half in spite of an already busy schedule and houseguests. Her communications were always prompt and concise. She literally saved our day.”
