“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Another great stay with Erin, Eggsy and Waffles! As always, Erin is a great communicator throughout the stay and I received a great mix of pic and video updates while I was away for a week. Cant wait until the next stay over!”
“Liam exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable in a new place and catered to him when he was resisting food. It was only our second time using Rover, but we never worried once because of Liam’s regular communication and pictures. We can tell our dog had a great weekend and felt very comfortable!! I’d highly recommend Liam.”

“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“I knew immediately when we met Colleen and Joe that our dog Jack would be in amazing hands. I felt so at ease Jack’s entire 10 day stay thanks to the great communication and picture updates. Jack was clearly living his best life on their comfy couch and in their sunny, beautiful backyard, and it melted my heart to see Jack bonding with his new BFF Nico!! We are so incredibly grateful to have found such kind people to care for our fur baby, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again!! Thanks Colleen, Joe and Nico!”

“Maria was the best sitter we could have found for Luna. We were always receiving pictures and video of how much fun our dog was having. She always looked extremely happy, well taken care of and loved. Communication was excellent, sitter was gracious, the house and backyard were big and spacious. Maria is our official doggy sitter.”
“Jack spent just over a week at Megan and Michael’s house and we could tell from all the updates he was absolutely LOVING his doggy vacation!! Megan sent daily updates with pictures and videos of Jack and Augie playing, walking and lounging together. Megan’s communication was top notch and we felt so at ease knowing that Jack was in such good hands our entire trip. Thanks for being such attentive and caring dog sitters Megan, Michael and family!”

“She had amazing communication and was able to watch our dog last minute. Got many photos of our dog having an amazing time! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Tobi had a great time with Brooklyn and her family. He loved their little girl and got along great with their gentle Bernese Mountain Dog. I received updates once or twice a day with cute photos. Brooklyn was accommodating of my request to change the pickup time. We look forward to having Tobi stay with Brooklyn again.”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“Dustin was a great sitter. His response to my initial post was fast, the booking process was simple, he thoroughly described what I should expect during my dog’s stay and he was an excellent care giver. He sent videos of Milo and he responded to all of my questions. I will definitely book with Dustin again. I highly recommend him as a sitter who will treat your pup like family.”

“Sonia was AMAZING! Our cats are usually a little scared of new people but after the second visit, they both came out to get pets from her. Sonia was very communicative, kind, and really loves animals. I recommend her to any cat owners, and I will definitely use her services again. 10/10”
“This was my first time using Rover. Sierra checked in on my two cats while I was out of town (twice daily). We had recently got the second cat and she was very helpful in continuing their integration while we were away and ensured they were properly fed and healthy. Will be booking again.”

She sent wonderful, entertaining pictures, which helped us feel that they were in very good hands. I will definitely be calling Abby again.”
About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
About: I love animals I even took animal science class to find out more of what my major that I would like. I have taken care of any pets ex snakes, chinchillas bunnies etc.... I am available most weekends when I can I often go for walks in early morning and then often a nighttime when needed for dogs, very flexible with how the your owners want to get the pets taken care of in orderly I typically send some updates with photos during the day how the pets are doing and would ask questions when needed. I am willing to take care of multiples animals if needed
“Tanya dropped in on my two cats during the holidays and did a great job. She communicated well and kept me updated with pictures. If I wasn’t moving, I would hire her again. Thanks, Tanya!”
“Amazing and very accommodating! My cat got sick right before I left town, and she adjusted to this change and helped administer medications while I was gone! My cat recovered well and appreciated her company! Would highly recommend to book!”
About: 🐈⬛ A Cat-Friendly Home 🐈 My home is cat-friendly and set up to make your kitty feel comfortable and safe! I have a catio that doubles as a cozy, all-season porch with large windows, giving cats their own dedicated space to relax, watch the world outside, and enjoy some enrichment while staying safely separated when needed. My own cat and dog are both friendly with other animals, so if your cat is social and comfortable around dogs or other cats, they’re welcome to interact at their own pace. If they prefer their own space, that’s completely okay too! I’m happy to follow whatever setup makes your cat feel most secure. 🐾💕
“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”
About: Cat owner since childhood, cat sitter since high school, and cat lover since birth. I have 20 years of experience caring for my own kitty companions along with pet and house-sitting for others. I've coaxed food, detangled mats, successfully snuck oral syringes, clipped claws, combed out fleas, popped pills, decoded morose meows, wiped butts, and scooped a whole lot of poop. I am well-versed in the subtleties of cat body language and highly perceptive of any small changes that might indicate illness or distress. I have experience caring for elderly cats with health issues including gastrointestinal, kidney disease, frequent UTIs, and respitory changes. I also have experience caring for cats who love to munch on plastic bags, leap into open fridges, sneeze in my face, and choose scraps of paper and cardboard boxes over premium catnip mice and luxury cat sofas. I'm responsible and dependable with a clean background check and driving record, own reliable transportation, and currently have few commitments and a very open schedule so frankly I would love nothing more than to get your mail, water your plants, and cuddle your cats. Available for full day and overnight stays or daily drop-ins and will happily provide detailed updates and photos as requested. I look forward to getting to know your closest companions and honoring their unique needs, and I promise they will love every meow-ment with me! (And I have a feline I will too)
“Anna took great care of our cat while we were gone. Her communication was prompt and detailed, and she sent great pictures so we knew Frankie was comfortable. Will definitely book with Anna again!”
“My second time booking with Amber, and she does not disappoint! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies and keeping me posted with detailed reports and photos. I really appreciate you!”
“Katelyn was very attentive and caring. She took excellent care of my dog and my home. She thought of things that I did not even think of when leaving. She went above and beyond my expectation. I will be hiring her whenever I have to leave my pet at home. I would recommend Katelyn to anyone needing care for their pet.”
“I have booked with Darwin before and he is great every time! He is consistent, professional and makes sure to communicate if anything out of the ordinary happens. Booking with him makes my stress go away and be able to go away without any worries”

“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“Lizzy & her husband took GiGi for a fun hour long walk in the snow. They gave her a lot of attention and cuddles. They will be great caregivers for your pet.”
“Thank you Nyree, my Inosuke was so happy and comfortable in your home my son said Inosuke cried because he had to go home. You help me reduced my anxiety especially since this was his first day care. I appreciate you so much, highly recommend and will use again.”
“Thank you, Noelle, for being so caring with GiGi! I’m glad that she could enjoy your huge fenced yard and was able to chill at your house. Thanks for the pictures. It is true that she felt so comfortable with you so leaned up against your leg and loved to be petted. :) I WILL CALL AGAIN FOR GIGI’s DOGGY DAY CARE IN THE FUTURE!”
“Kira and Alejandro are wonderful with my dog Atlas! They spent lots of time outside with him today and he had a blast playing with another dog. I know he’s in really good hands every time I leave him with them! He comes back home much better adjusted than when I drop him at the noisy dog daycare place which can often overstimulate him.”
“Fernanda took great care of our dog. He was a little anxious because he had been traveling for several weeks and in lots of new places. She noticed his anxiety, and took him out in her yard to play. Perfect. He even ate a meal with her without needing special feeding (which he’d been struggling to do in new surroundings). Fernanda was easy to work with and a great communicator. I’d definitely use Fernanda again next time we’re in town.”
“This was our first time using Roover, and Rachel made the experience smooth and stress free. Our dog had a great day with her, and Rachel sent lots of updates and pictures!”
About: My family had 3 dogs growing up so I am very experienced with walking, interacting with and loving animals! I would love to watch your dog for the weekend, a few week days or whenever needed! I currently work from home 4 days out of the week so I would be able to stay home and take the dog outside or for a quick walk easily. I live with my fiancé who also works from home frequently and helps me out with the dog if needed. Weekends get booked up quick but we’d love some company to go for a walk, go to the dog park, or hang out if we are free! I live in an apartment but live right across the street from a large popular park that I walk around regularly. The park is very popular with pet owners as well.
“Noah is great. He has 2 very happy dogs and was attentive to my dogs needs. You can tell he is good with animals and patient with them. He is also very responsive to messages. I would book again and recommend Noah!”
“Takenya is so sweet with our girl. Lilah has never stayed without a family member or trusted friend before so we were nervous. Lilah had so much fun. We got such cute videos of her time there. Our dog came home & happy & tired. She took a big nap. We already booked Takenya again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Nathan made the experience seamless. He was wonderful about meeting our dog on our dog's own terms—gentle, approachable, and incredibly communicative. I really appreciated that he had a thoughtful plan to make our dog feel welcome in his home and comfortable around his other dog guests.”
“Brooklyn was great with Lilah. Lilah had so much fun playing with her very sweet dog. I appreciated the pictures & videos Lilah came home happy & tired! I highly recommend Brooklyn!”
“Lydia has been watching my pup for several weeks now, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! You can tell she really cares about all of the dogs she watches. She's a fantastic communicator and is flexible with schedules. I highly recommend her!”
“Cleo had a great time with Timmothy!! I loved his updates through the day and he asked many questions beforehand to make sure he understood how to care for her :)”
About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“First doggie sitter for our Harper and did we score big time!! Alyson is amazing. Harper came home happy and tired. It must have been a great time!! Thanks Alyson.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cared for them since I was 5 years old. I’ve had experience with both puppies and older dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. I love spending time with dogs, especially taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel well cared for! I work every other weekend (Friday–Sunday) in the evenings at a hospital and have classes Monday through Wednesday afternoons. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to let dogs out, take them for walks, and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise and companionship! I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner’s instructions to maintain their pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets or stopping by for walks and visits, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while also providing updates and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”
“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”
“Anna has been absolutely amazing to our sweet pup! She makes sure he gets plenty of exercise & I get lots of photos of their adventures which I love!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I work Thursday-Sunday afternoons or evenings as a server. Here is a rough overview of my class schedule: Mondays: done by 10:30 Tuesdays: done by 12:00 and class again from 4-5:15 Wednesday: done by 10:30, class again from 6-9pm Thursday: class from 10-12:45 Friday: done by 10:30 Right now I live in an apartment, so id be able to stay at your house.

About: Hello! I have been consistently house/dog sitting since 2023. I have experience in watching dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I previously have watched three dogs at a time, so if you have more than one dog that is no problem. I also have experience in providing dogs with medications needed throughout the day. This includes insulin shots and capsules/pills mixed into their food. While you are away I prefer to keep the dog in its original home rather than hosting your dog. I do require a meet & greet before services. This is for my safety alongside for you and your puppies comfortability with my presence. Beyond all else it’s important to me that your dog stays comfortable. I have cared for anxious, storm scared, epileptic, loud barkers, and jumpy puppies. It’s important to me that you communicate your animals behavior or traits so I can care to the best of my ability. Without a doubt I will accommodate to your dogs feeding requirements and potty breaks. Alongside that give them lots of cuddles, kisses, playtime, and walks. As for you… I will communicate how your puppy is doing, when I arrive, if any complications arise, and send photos! Your dog is in safe hands. I currently work at a coffee shop a few times a week! My hours usually range from 4-5 hours. So it’s never long enough to leave your puppy for long periods of time. I will always honor your puppies scheduled eating times and potty breaks throughout the day! Pets are so so important! As a caregiver, I want to relieve your stress and allow you to know that your pets are in safe hands! If you would be so kind to welcome me into your home, I can take care of them there. I would prefer to keep your animals where they feel most comfortable. A fenced in backyard is preferred, but taking them out on a walk is no hassle! Provide me with all of the important details on your puppy, and I can provide service towards them! ❤️
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a service since 2016. Every animal is different so I enjoy speaking with the owners beforehand and getting to bond with critters that are different than mine. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and love caring for cats. I have cared for Guinea Pigs, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and cattle as well. Farm sitting outside of the Twin Cities area available on weekends only ( Fri.pm-Sun afternoon). Weekly stays available only in Minneapolis due to full-time employment. I’m available weekends for walks and animal care. I’m a full-time employee so weekday evening walks after 5pm work best for my schedule. Previously, I have stayed overnight to keep the in home animals company and keep the house safe while folks are away. I can clean and bring in the mail. Whatever your expectations are I am happy to accommodate.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. My family ran a doggy daycare in Germany for several years, And ever since I've moved to Minnesota I've been longing to get back into the business! I have experience working with dogs of all different sizes, cats, rabbits, and even birds! No challenge is too big for me and I am very familiar working with animals that require special needs. Your animals well-being is my top priority and I will treat them as if they were my own! I am a college student with flexible, part-time work– meaning that your pets will never be alone for too long! We can discuss exact schedules in more detail as needed, and I am more than willing to be flexible and accommodating to your needs! As a professional in the industry, I am very aware of the fact that every client has their own needs and wants. I always engange with animals and client homes with the utmost respect. Please do not shy away from requesting any accomodations! No request is too small, and it is very important to me that you feel your loved ones are in good hands with me!
About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)
About: I'm a lifelong cat owner, having raised kittens and adopted adult cats. I don't have my own dogs but have been a sitter for friends, family and strangers for many years. I listen to animals about their needs, both for autonomy and companionship. Particularly experienced with redirecting reactive dogs and administering subcutaneous fluids for kidney-impaired cats. I'm a graduate student at the U. My workload is significant but my flexibility is high. Pet care is a welcome diversion before/after class, in the middle of project work, and as breaks from grading student papers. I like to speak with clients in advance about how their pet relates to strange humans, and what kind of approach (eye contact, voice volume, treat bribes, et cetera) their pets are most comfortable with. For dogs, walk protocol is an important thing for me to know as well. My default is to assume every pet is going to be wary of me until I earn trust, which I work for through maintaining a quiet, calm presence with as much hewing to normal routines as possible.
About: My name is Phoebe. I love taking care of dogs so I will be available for long and short-term house/dog-sitting/ A little bit about myself: I love hiking and taking pictures of nature as well as everyday life. I am excellent with pets of all kinds as well as children. I am outgoing, responsible and fun. It is important to Note I do take a lot of dog photos but I don’t have one many good quality of me and the dogs. So you’ll see bunch of dogs with no me in them. I am happy to provide references that are both local and outside of the Minneapolis / ST. Paularea upon request. I have experience babysitting and dog sitting for many years. I look forward from hearing from you.
About: Hi, I’m Lydia — dog mom, belly rub expert, and professional sniff-spot scout. I’ve spent 15 years learning what dogs actually want (hint: it’s all of the above), and a lifetime growing up with dogs and cats of every personality. Energetic or chill, young or old, I’ve got them covered. My daily and weekly routine revolves around pet care. My dog is my first thought when I wake up and the last thing I worry about before bed. I have an abundance of parks near my home that I can take your fur baby to for both exercise and play. I love a good adventure.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Whether it’s administering medications, deep-cleaning litter boxes, or taking them on long walks I am currently working mornings and evenings so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to play with your pet and taking long walks. I’ve done house sitting at others home and have respected all of their wishes with their pet and their home. It is better for pets to stay in their home so they are comfortable.
“Kate is seriously the best! My dog loves going on long walks with Kate and getting a bunch of attention. I can tell Kate really cares about the pets she helps out with.”
“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”
“Emily took great care of our dogs! She was on time for our meet and greet and made sure she got to know both Pete and Rosie. When she came to walk the dogs, she was able to get Rosie outside and down the road (which is a big accomplishment with a timid, blind dog)! We definitely would recommend Emily.”
About: I've been caring for neighborhood pets since I was 13, and now I’ve been all over the Minneapolis area! My family rescue dog and elderly cat are my babies, they make me the best temporary pet parent I can be for you. I lost one of my elderly cats rather suddenly this fall, so I can say I definitely understand the anxiety of being away from your pets especially those with health issues or behavior quirks. I do what I do because of her, and as a Minneapolis transplant away from my animals, I am more than happy to spend time with yours! I work part-time, though my hours fall in the 9-5 window. However, there is flexibility for me to work remotely for part or sometimes full days with advance notice, depending on the project. I can usually accommodate whatever exercise your pet needs! I am also a dancer, so if your dog has acute health issues or requires constant supervision, we may not be the best fit, as training does require me to be out of the house in the evening. No 4-hour rehearsals right now, but I do take class most days of the week. I'll do my best to stick to a comfortable, consistent routine for your pet and make sure they get all the proper attention and love they need while you are gone. I'm happy to accommodate any medication or feeding requirements.
About: I work at pet hospital as a veterinary assistant now.

I majored in animal science working on pre veterinary programs at the University of Minnesota twin cities. I can do basic wellness check for pets. I used to help my friends taking care of their dogs including walking two dogs together, feed and bath. I’m basically free every day. I love all kinds of animals and play with them and I believe I can provide great care for them I have a huge basement and first floor for my pets to play in the house and he is well trained by me as an ESA dog. My cats are very sweet. I’m good at getting along with pets. Even my Guinea pig is friendly to humans and petable

I’d highly recommend Liam.”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Kira and Alejandro were amazing with our dog! He stayed for a week in their home and seemed to have a very fun time. They sent many photos and updates throughout the stay which helped me feel at ease, and I would definitely recommend them for dog boarding and sitting needs!”
“Dave was wonderful! Kind, attentive, convenient and very warm and welcoming. He sent pictures to us, and our dog was very happy when we came home. Would definitely use him again and have recommended to family!”
“Incredible dog sitter! She watched my Charles while I was on my honey moon and took great care of him. She sent daily updates and photos during my dog’s stay which put my separation anxiety at ease. I will absolutely use her again when we go out of town.”
“She had amazing communication and was able to watch our dog last minute. Got many photos of our dog having an amazing time! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“Dustin was a great sitter. His response to my initial post was fast, the booking process was simple, he thoroughly described what I should expect during my dog’s stay and he was an excellent care giver. He sent videos of Milo and he responded to all of my questions. I will definitely book with Dustin again. I highly recommend him as a sitter who will treat your pup like family.”
“My standard poodle, Brody, had only been away ever been away from home for a few days. He hs been a constant companion for the last six years. I was super concerned about leaving him for 18 days and how he would handle it. I didn't need to worry with Brittany taking care of him! She sent lots of photos daily, he was happy at her home! She was so kind and compassionate. He also has a minor medical condition, and Brittany cleaned and medicated his eyes daily. I couldn't believe how fortunate we were to find Brittany. We will certainly choose her as a sitter again!”
“Sally was just great with Flora. She shared a lot about how the day was going a Flora was super well taken care of! She has 2 cutes pups and they got along super well! Thank you so much!”
“Lydia was great and so easy to work with. She kept us updated with pictures during our whole trip and Marvin clearly had tons of fun. We will for sure book with Lydia again in the future.”
“If there was 10 stars, i would have put that! Had an amazing exprience! You guys are amazinggg and very respectful and caring. I would definately connect with you guys soon!”
“Eric and Martha are AMAZING!!! Crue and Cali had the best time cuddling up with them, playing in the yard, taking daily walks and more ☀️ I loved the frequent photos and videos to see how much fun they were having. It was such a peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were on vacation. We can’t wait to see them again next time 🥰”
“It was a pleasure to meet Ashley, and I couldn't have asked for better care for Miley, our pup. Ashley walked her several times a day, encouraged me to bring Miley's bed and comfort items to make the home familiar and comfortable, and sent pictures during the week. We returned home to a dog that was happy to see us, but clearly comfortable and well cared for. Our thanks to Ashley, we will look forward to having her care for Miley in the future.”
“Nichole & Jacob took great care of our dog. They were very responsive with communication both before and during his boarding. I will definitely be using them for future boarding needs.”
