“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“David was wonderful with our energetic canine. David sent updates with pictures, multiple times during the day, which put me at ease, and took him on walks! Our pet looked relaxed, content and well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Anthony did an outstanding job watching my dog diego! We came in for a last minute trip with family, he updated me with photos very frequently so I felt comfortable knowing he was safe and having a good time. Highly recommend, Diego is now sound asleep on our way back home.”
“Beverly took wonderful care of my Frenchie. She was quick to make Cookie feel right at home. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. There is always some anxiety when having someone care for your pet, but I knew within an hour my Cookie was in the right place. I would recommend Beverly to anyone who needs pet care and sitting services. So much better than a kennel. Your dog will be loved and will gets lots and lots of attention and love all day and all night.”
“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
“We were pretty nervous about leaving our little dog because she means so much to us, but Pattie took AMAZING care of her! From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she was in a loving, safe, and comfortable home. Pattie kept us updated, was so thoughtful, and treated our pup like family. The sweetest moment was when our dog heard our voices and lit up—clearly she felt happy and secure the entire time! We are beyond grateful and would absolutely trust Pattie again. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, she’s the one! 💗”
“Leslie was amazing from start to finish. This was my first time using Rover, and she was so wonderful I wouldn’t do it any other way. She sent us daily updates with photos, and followed all of our instructions. Huckleberry enjoyed his time with her so much, I don’t think he wanted to come home! I would highly recommend Leslie’s services, and if timing works out for us in the future, I have no plans on using anyone else”
“This is our second time with Amanda. Amanda was Awesome!!! Our fur babies enjoyed staying with her. I will highly recommend using Amanda. Pictures were sent often and she was flexible with our schedule. Amanda and her husband are Heaven sent.”
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!”
“Woody had such a great stay with Theresa and Adrian! It’s always nerve-wracking leaving them with someone new but my mind was put at ease with their amazing communication and updates while I was away. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! We will be back for sure.”
“Zaniya was very attentive to my baby Bizkit. She also allowed me to text her for photos and FaceTime (when needed). He got to finally play with other dogs, be more of an outside dog (he's normally an inside dog). Although he suffered from separation anxiety as this being his first time away from my family for more than a day, he adjusted very well as an untrained puppy. I thank God for her communication and will book again when I travel again in the near future. Thanks again!”
“Alisa was Great about accommodating me & my Sweet Baby girl at the last minute due to an urgent matter, I'd recommend using her services. Thank You Alisa! Roger & Desi 🙂”
“Where do I begin?! Literally from our meet and greet, I knew Angelique and her fur baby: Ozzy would make a great pair for Mocha! While I was on vacation, I never once worried about or doubted Mocha’s well-being. As Angelique sent plenty of photos and videos to keep me in the know. And just from observing the imagery, it was clear that Mocha was very happy and well-looked after! I am so happy and relieved to have met Angelique and Ozzy, and so will you! ?❤️”
“Shawna was great. Kept me updated with pictures and texts about Helcia. She has a couple of concerns, but brought them to my attention immediately. I would request Shawna again if I needed someone to watch Helcia for me.”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Andrea was the best. I have been using rover for over 5 years and she has by far been the best with my pup and in every other aspect. Great communication. Daily photos and updates. Walked my pup daily.”

About: I've had the pleasure of growing up in a dog household ever since I was little. I have worked with a number of various breeds but have had the opportunity to raise a German Shepherd as well as my current Australian Shepherd and Blue heeler, who both have plenty of energy. I’ve been blessed with finding a work from home job as an RN and am free most days to help your pup. I took a little break from Rover but am back now that I have a more flexible schedule. Looking to meet your pups and create a consistent schedule ! I have a decent sized fenced backyard that will give your doggo plenty of space to run around with my Australian shepherd dog. I also have space for a crate if they are crate trained.
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“Absolutely the best sitter Smokey has ever had. Reguarly brushed him, provided fun notes on most days about how he was doing, and performed little bits of going the extra mile each day. I couldn't recommend Saramae enough! I'm very thankful.”
“Miryam is truly an angel with my babies. From our very first meet and greet, I instantly had a good feeling about her especially when my girl cat immediately gravitated toward her. She has an amazing ability to care for all three of my cats, balancing their different personalities. She's playful and engaging while also knowing when to give them their space. As we all know, cats can be particular, but Miryam has always been gentle, attentive, patient, and welcoming with my babies ever since our very first meeting. I will always have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly ◡̈”
“Caitie was simply amazing with my 2 year old tortie cat Temperance. She needs a lot of play and hang time, Caitie was so attentive and sweet with her. Caitie’s communication was impeccable and the pictures I received were so cute. Thank you!!!”
“Chelsea was a great choice for watching over my cat while I was out of town. Chelsea kept frequent contact and assured me throughout the process that my Angel was doing well. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Sheila was great with my two cats while I was away for a week! Lots of updates & photos, everything was kept super clean & she even dealt with some upset stomach situations. She socialized and played with my most social cat & took time to bond with my skittish who actually came out for pets at one point - which is a rarity. I came home to two happy cats! I would 100% recommend her & will book again in the future!”
About: Lifelong animal lover! I have experience with hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. Even snails! I’ve taken care of my Rottweiler and Pit-bull for years. I’m available every weekday at any time, besides 3pm! right before or right after that I’m perfectly free to pet-sit for you!! If I pet sit before 3 I won’t need to leave by 3, I just can’t arrive at 3pm. In my home my Pit-bull is very well cared for. I let him outside, feed him and give him water when needed, and I give him baths every week!
About: I've been a devoted cat owner for over seven years and currently have two cats of my own that I absolutely adore. Living with cats has taught me how unique every personality is, and I'm comfortable caring for cats of all energy levels, from playful and outgoing to shy and reserved. I understand that every cat has their own routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to play with active cats, give quiet cats the space they need, refresh food and water, scoop litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention and affection based on their individual needs. I've also cared for friends' and family members' cats in the past and know how important it is to keep owners updated. I'm happy to send photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If your cat needs medication, I'm willing to do my best to administer it given the cat's comfort level. My goal is to treat every cat with the same care, patience, and love that I give my own.
“Briana saved me last minute! She was able to help me with Georgia and she did it with the best attitude. She was so kind, nice, and kept me updated on Georgia. She sent me pics, which I truly appreciate it. It was just so easy to talk to Briana, she really cared about Georgia. Definitely recommend her!!!!”
“Cheyenne always takes wonderful care of our cats and spends time with them. We love booking her services and we always will, as long as she's available and we are traveling!”
“Izzywas great with Alina! I could tell that she cared and that Alina loved hanging out with her. Would definitely recommend her to take care of anyone's fur babies.”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Shelly was fantastic with Nightwing and Turdle! She took care of all of their needs and even confirmed Nightwing was in his room when our evening sitter (my partners mom) was unable to locate him. She kept us updated on all of his mood changes as well as was able to get our half outdoor/indoor cat Turdle in! She really trusted her to be able to do that, which was fantastic for only meeting her a few times! ♡♡♡ Will absolutely be booking with her again when we're out of town for a few days!!!”

“I felt so comfortable with Naomi with our three cats while we were traveling during Thanksgiving. She diligently followed instructions and provided great updates with photos, and made sure to give lots of love to our boys. One of our cats even just had surgery and I was really worried about leaving him home alone, but with Naomi, I felt at ease. Thank you ❤️”
About: While I love any and every animal, cats of any kind hold a special place in my heart as I’ve grown up around cats, and even now have my best friend, Goober.

I’m excellent and being attentive and understanding of proper care instructions for your cuddly buddy.

“Had a great experience with David! He was incredibly kind and flexible. He made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy—taking her for a car ride, going on walks, and giving her plenty of attention. It was clear he genuinely cares for the dogs he looks after. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“Anthony was great. We did a meet and greet and when I dropped her off the day, he sent me lots of pictures to reassure me Tilly was content and safe. He took her for walks and spoiled her. I plan to use him again. 5 stars.”
“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby. She communicated with me regularly during her first visit and that put my mind at ease. I only have positive things to say about my experience and plan to rebook. Thanks Beverly 💎”
“Cherry cared for Kona like she was one of her own. She has a huge heart for pets. Her house was all prepped and ready for Konas arrival. I was updated on how Kona was doing through out the day. It was nice to be able to leave Kona with her while I was working.”
“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”
“Constance and Terry were great dog sitters for my pup Obi-Wan. They were very attentive to Obi’s needs, and sent me updates with pictures every day. I will definitely be using their services again!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It warms my heart to see my fur baby so excited to see Sheila. In the past when I took her OTHER places she dreaded going and would pull back. With Sheila she runs to her giving me the comfort I need.”
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
“Vanessa was fantastic with Raya for daycare over the weekend. Raya was excited to go every morning and I was comfortable to leave her in Vanessa’s care. Thank you again!! Hope to see you again soon!! 🐾🐾”
“Leslie was great! If you're visiting Dearborn to see the sites, definitely leave your dog with her. Pick up and drop off were so easy and less than a mile from the museum gate. She sent photos and kept our dog happy and loved while we explored.”

We do feed other cats bin our neighbors I have 4 bowel of water and food on my porch for them. Always have loved animals and had a caring connection with them. In addition to taking care of our family pets, I have also helped care for family and friends furry friends I work part time and I’m able to do house visits or add a walk in the park in my schedule it no problem. I have a fence yard and I have my own cat kitty she friendly and spray and up to date on shots. I have an area extra bedroom for play time or naps.Our sofa is open for naps too.
“Jessica is amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”
“Megan and Milo were great hosts to my Bentley for a few hours. We had great communication throughout the visit and Bentley came home happy and sleepy. Definitely will be booking again. Thank you!”

So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!!

About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.

About: My life doesn’t feel complete unless I have little paws around me! Right now I have three doggos…A giant Lab/Dalmatian mix, a goofy Goldendoodle, and a small Cocker Spaniel nugget. I promise that I will treat your pups just like mine and love them as much as you do! Pets are a part of our family and should be treated like it. A lot of my life is dictated around my dogs, and that’s the way it should be! I never leave them for more than 6 hours and I always make time to play and stimulate them because they wait all day for us! I love taking my dogs on new adventures and to new places so they can explore! I will follow all of your directions and keep your schedule just like you would! I always think that pets do best on a schedule so I promise to keep yours to make their life easier! I will follow their dietary restrictions along with their training!
“Kelly is amazing. Not only is she great with animals, but people too. She is caring, kind and full of energy. I highly recommend her and will tell my friends about her!”
About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.
“Izzy is fantastic with our nervous dog. She’s done one-off dog walks as well as daytime walks when we’ve been on vacation for a week or more. Kind, responsible, caring, and communicative.”
About: I've been a dog mom to a spoiled little guy for 9 years. My dog has medical issues so I have plenty of experience administering medication. I also have 3 years of cat sitting experience, including litter box cleaning, feeding, and administering medication. I also love bugs! On the off chance you have any you need help with, I'd be honored. I love animals and I'm excited to meet yours! I have a very open schedule and I'm very flexible. The biggest thing I need to work around is medical appointments, but once I have you on schedule I can book them around your visit! Your pets safety is just as important as the safety of my own pet. I'll make sure any needs they have are met, especially for disabled pets!
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have been trusted to house and dog sit by family members and I have worked with all sizes and breeds.

I currently live with roommates and one small dog. I do not offer boarding services, but I do love living and caring for animals on a daily basis.
About: I've taken care of dogs for family members, friends, and neighbors since I was 16. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, and feed their pets. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I am currently working from home right now, and I am in school online, so I will have plenty of time to love and take care of your babies. Trips to the dog park will always be on our to-do list to have some fun! I also have a pup loving boyfriend who would also be happy to keep your baby company.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been a huge part of who I am. From Australian Shepherds and Pit Bulls to little Yorkies, I’ve grown up loving dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Throughout the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs. I’ve also house-sat for family and friends while they were away, staying with their dogs and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own home. 🐾❤️ My love for animals started at a young age. I began volunteering at animal shelters during middle school and high school, and I’ve continued that passion ever since. For the past four years, I’ve volunteered at the Dearborn Animal Shelter, where I help with events and spend several days a week walking, caring for, and giving attention to the dogs there. I’ve also always loved attending dog-related events throughout the years, including Mutt Strut, now known as Pawchella, along with other dog events throughout the Metro Detroit area. Being around dogs and connecting with other people who share the same love for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. One of my favorite things about caring for dogs is getting to know their individual personalities. Whether they’re an energetic puppy, a playful adult, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they need. My experience has given me the opportunity to care for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d be so happy to meet your furry family member and give them the same care and attention I would give my own! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible work schedule. I’m a nail technician and work Tuesday through Friday, but I make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to plan around your pup’s needs. My weekends and Mondays are my days off, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m especially available for weekend in-home dog sitting and would be happy to travel to your home and stay with your pup while you’re away. I’m also available for drop-in visits and helping out when you need an extra hand during the day. At the moment, I’m unable to board dogs in my own home because I’m living with family, but I’m more than happy to come to you! I love the idea of caring for dogs in their own environment, where they’re already comfortable and surrounded by the things they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pup. 🐾💕 When caring for your dog in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away\. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pup happiest and most comfortable\. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection\. Whether your dog loves going on long walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m there to give them the care and companionship they’re used to\. I also believe that staying in their own home can make being away from their family much easier\. Instead of being somewhere unfamiliar, your pup can stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in\. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and one\-on\-one attention throughout my stay\. While you’re away, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own\. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual that may need your attention\. I’m also happy to send you updates, photos, and little check\-ins so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away\. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like they have a friend there with them—not just someone checking a task off a list\. I’ll give them patience, love, attention, and the care they need so they can stay happy and comfortable in the place they call home\. 🐾❤️

I I will walk your dogs in my care and play with them outside. Animals sleep with me unless the owner would rather they were caged. If medicine is required I would be diligent to administer to your pet. During the day animals sit in my lap or lay on the couch beside me. Your pet will be very loved from the beginning! I'm retired and home the majority of the time. For trips to the bank or drive thru, dogs go with me and ride shotgun safely. We will follow your dogs daily routine and adhere to any rules and regulations about your pet and your home. Some dogs would rather not go on walks and I'm good with that.

“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“David was wonderful with our energetic canine. David sent updates with pictures, multiple times during the day, which put me at ease, and took him on walks! Our pet looked relaxed, content and well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
“Leslie was amazing from start to finish. This was my first time using Rover, and she was so wonderful I wouldn’t do it any other way. She sent us daily updates with photos, and followed all of our instructions. Huckleberry enjoyed his time with her so much, I don’t think he wanted to come home! I would highly recommend Leslie’s services, and if timing works out for us in the future, I have no plans on using anyone else”
“This is our second time with Amanda. Amanda was Awesome!!! Our fur babies enjoyed staying with her. I will highly recommend using Amanda. Pictures were sent often and she was flexible with our schedule. Amanda and her husband are Heaven sent.”
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!”
“Woody had such a great stay with Theresa and Adrian! It’s always nerve-wracking leaving them with someone new but my mind was put at ease with their amazing communication and updates while I was away. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! We will be back for sure.”
“Alisa was Great about accommodating me & my Sweet Baby girl at the last minute due to an urgent matter, I'd recommend using her services. Thank You Alisa! Roger & Desi 🙂”
“Where do I begin?! Literally from our meet and greet, I knew Angelique and her fur baby: Ozzy would make a great pair for Mocha! While I was on vacation, I never once worried about or doubted Mocha’s well-being. As Angelique sent plenty of photos and videos to keep me in the know. And just from observing the imagery, it was clear that Mocha was very happy and well-looked after! I am so happy and relieved to have met Angelique and Ozzy, and so will you! ?❤️”
“Shawna was great. Kept me updated with pictures and texts about Helcia. She has a couple of concerns, but brought them to my attention immediately. I would request Shawna again if I needed someone to watch Helcia for me.”
“Andrea was the best. I have been using rover for over 5 years and she has by far been the best with my pup and in every other aspect. Great communication. Daily photos and updates. Walked my pup daily.”
“Harley felt right at home at Karen’s. Karen sent pictures regularly and even FaceTimed one night. We would definitely recommend her to others and plan to use her again next year!”
“Chris and Cass were great! Very patient, kind and flexible. As sweet as our pitbull is, sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter because of the stigma that surrounds the breed. They even had our back when our flight was cancelled multiple times, forcing us to extend our dog’s stay. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them when needed and highly recommend them.”
“Whitley is so great with my dog, Norman. This is the 2nd time I’ve boarded with her and she treats Norman like one of her own. She sends tons of videos and pictures and Norman always comes home happy and exhausted. I will absolutely continue booking with Whitley.”
“Jess was great! Juni came back very happy and I had no worries when she was with her. I got pictures of Juni throughout the week and Jess was very accommodating of our travel plans - both of which were VERY appreciated! Would highly recommend :)”
“Efi was amazing! Her and her family provided a safe and inviting space for both boys. She reached out the day before their stay. This let me know that she was serious as she had initiated the contact. She kept us up to date with photos throughout the entire duration of their stay. We had a pretty busy trip, but it was great to receive those updates! She was super flexible about drop-off and pick-up times (within reason) and this was very helpful because our travel plans evolved a bit after having booked. I would 100% recommend her! Thank you so much!”
“Connie and Terry are the absolute best! They took care of our (high maintenance) guy like he was their own, sent us great updates, and were so flexible and understanding. I so appreciate that they didn't make me feel like a bother when I checked in between updates. They unexpectedly had two foster puppies during Wally's stay, but they were certain to ensure they played well together and were separated as needed. Their expansive experience with dogs absolutely shows in how they handled the situation and responded to our dog's vocalizations toward the puppies. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for giving our boy a great vacation and giving us peace of mind on ours!”
“I'm so grateful to have found Alex and Georgi, Oscar is in such good hands with them! I was nervous to travel out of the country because Oscar was not feeling well and had several prescription medicines to take, but they were totally on top of it and kept him healthy and happy :) Lots of great updates and photos the entire week... best dog sitters ever!”
