“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“She is very patient and is understanding & affordable . very nice and kind to my animal I would highly recommend her and looking forward to bringing him for future dog sitting !”
“Barbara was great. She shared daily updates, made my dog grilled chicken and rice when he wasn't eating, and acommodated a later pick up time when our flight was cancelled. I highly recomend her.”
“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Would rate ten stars if we could. We have never had to board our pup for longer than two days and we put our full trust in Timm for our nine day trip. It was also our dog's first experience with a cat and Timm made sure that experience went smoothly. Timm also set up a video call well in advance of our pup's stay to assure us of the other pets he'd be staying with and the home he would be staying at. When we arrived, he ran right up to the house and made himself at home. We got several updates throughout our honeymoon and enjoyed all of the photos and videos. We are so grateful for Timm and plan to book with him in the future.”
“Koda had a great time with Alyssa and her pup! I have such a hard time leaving her, but I felt comfortable and better very quickly because of Alyssa. I was so confident in her, and I got such great updates throughout the trip (of Koda having the best time!). My mind was completely at ease, and Koda ended up having her own great vacation! I couldn't recommend Alyssa enough.”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“We were very happy with our first boarding experience with McKenzie for our two golden retrievers. We met with McKenzie before our boarding date. It was very obvious she is caring and has a passion for the dogs she cares for. She is organized, and good communication before and during our dogs stay. Definitely recommend and will return for future boarding.”
“Thanks to Howie and Betsy for Fanya's stay last week. I was looking for a family who watches one dog at a time as Fanya is gentle, and can be uncomfortable with several dogs at one time. Howie sent updates and photos at the end of each day (Fanya was there for 5 nights). I feel very comfortable letting Fanya stay with Howie and his family in the future.”
“Amazing time with Ashlie. I loved her updates and great photos of our pup during her week with the family. Much appreciated and hope to book with her again soon!”
“Betsy did an amazing job watching my miniature dachshund. I was originally going to bring him to a boarder, but after doing a test appointment it seemed like a really bad fit. He was very afraid & I definitely would've worried about him the entire time I was gone. I am SO glad I didn't go that route & instead tried out Rover & brought my little dog to Betsy because she was able to provide a comfortable environment for him. She sent updates & photos while I was out of town on a trip, which I loved! I definitely knew my dog was in great hands. Price was reasonable too! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”
“Alyson took care of my pup like a member of her family. She was welcoming and flexible when I needed to schedule st the last minute. We will definitely return!”
“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“Winnie had another great stay with Kiirsten! We always know she is in good hands with her, and gets to have a ball running around a big backyard and playing with her kids. Thank you, Kiirsten!”
“Kira is so great. She sends pics of my pup throughout the day everyday, and I never have to wonder if she’s okay. Super appreciative of how she’s super responsive and has been available last munite!!”
“I don’t think Birdie wanted to come home! It seems like she had a great time at Lan’s house and Lan followed all care instructions to the letter. It was my first time using Rover and Lan made me feel like my gal was in great hands. Thank you!”
“I can’t recommend Brooke enough! This was Archie’s first stay with a sitter since our move, and I was honestly so nervous leaving him. From the moment I met her, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was such a relief knowing he was safe, loved, and treated like one of her own. Archie settled in so well, ate all of his meals, and even made himself at home (including sleeping in bed with her 😂), which says so much about the environment she provides. As a flight attendant, finding someone I can truly trust with my dog while I’m away is invaluable, and I’m so incredibly thankful I found Brooke. She is kind, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and I already know she’ll be my go-to sitter moving forward. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like family, I wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you again, Brooke! ❤️”
“Erin did a great job caring for my high energy dog! She was very communicative and on top of it — if I could ask my pup I’m sure he’d tell me he had a great time :)”
“Memory updated Certainly! Here’s a review for your dog sitter, Carolina: I couldn't be happier with Carolina's care for my dog, Echo. From the moment I met her, it was clear she was attentive and dedicated to making sure Echo was happy and comfortable. She sent many pictures and detailed notes about Echo's day, which was a wonderful way to stay connected with him while I was away. I could tell how much attention and care Echo received based on the detailed updates. One of the highlights was how well Echo got along with Carolina's dog, Olivia. It's always a bonus when Echo not only gets a sitter but also a new dog friend! Knowing that Echo was happy and had a playmate made me feel even more at ease. I'm so pleased with Carolina's service that I'm about to rebook with her, pending our schedules align. I highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.”

“Darwin did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were gone! He was very responsive and took the extra time to get our shy cats acclimated to him.”
“Andy has been so great! She provided detailed updates and a ton of photos of Alice which made it easier to be away knowing my cat was in great hands. She is a great communicator, super thoughtful and went above and beyond!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke. My husband and I went overseas and I was very concerned about leaving our kitties with someone that they did not know. Brooke stepped in and took fantastic care of them. She was with them often played with them, took lots of photos and videos of them and they really fell in love with her. I will always use Brooke going forward and never be worried about leaving again. Thanks so much Brooke. You’re awesome.”
“Nick did an AMAZING job with my cat Gracie!! I felt so comfortable knowing he was with her. Truly a wonderful experience. Now Grace expects regular belly rubs and playtime so I have to keep that up, LOL! Thank you so much, Nick!!”
“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Andrew is awesome! My cats are prissy and always poo outside the box when I’m away. Andrew went the extra mile and cleaned the tracked litter as well as ensured they were ok. I’d highly recommend Andrew for all your pet care needs while you are away!”
“Angela was timely, communicative, and sent the cutest pictures to us! I felt reassured the entire time that my cats were in good hands! It was so sweet that she brought her own toys to play with them. I will definitely be reaching out in the future to rebook 😊”
“Jerome was an awesome petsitter for our shy cats! He and his wife Linda, who is also a cat lover, did drop in visits daily while we were out of the country for 14 days. They were super reliable, even during a big snowstorm, always sending pics and updates. I had no doubt my kitties were being taken care of, and they made extra effort to try different things to get my scaredy cats comfortable with them. And it worked! They had a lot of fun playing with Jerome and Linda and getting scritches every day. Came home to happy kitties.”
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
“Sabrina did a perfect job taking care of our 2 energetic and 1 shy cat for 4 days. She's reliable and kept us informed while we were gone. When she dropped off the key 2 days later our cats were happy to see her. I would recommend Sabrina for your pet care.”
“Marit was available on short notice and made sure to fit in play time with my cat during her drop-in visit. I appreciate the updates and photos Marit sends!”
“Anna is great! She always does an amazing job with our dog. She provides wonderful updates and photos. She is very reliable and an excellent communicator. Our dog loves to see and spend time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Aichon was great!! Went above and beyond when there were issues getting into the apartment. Her communication is 10/10 and she sent us some really funny pics of our cat. Would def rebook in the future.”
“Jackson is a lifesaver with our dogs! We have a 10 mo. aus-shepherd mix with aggression and fear issues (wont allow strangers to come near us, or into the house or backyard). After a few visits with Jackson our dog is now so happy to see him each time! Jackson is one of the very few people our dog allows into our home, as well as to hang out and play with him and leash him for walks (if anyone has dealt with an aggressive dog they know the struggles, so to find someone we can count on for our pup is priceless). I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson!”
About: I have been around cats my whole life and have 2 of my own which I love like they are my children. In the last 5 years, I have taken care of family and friends cars when they have gone out of town. I have also had experience taking care of a small kitten, sick and elderly cats.

“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.”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
“Great experience having Robert watch my pup - highly recommended, especially for a high-energy dog. Will definitely be coming to him in the future when I need someone to take care of her while I'm in Minneapolis.”
“We needed help watching our dog during the day while moving and Sally was great! I got multiple very cute updates of him each day and it seemed like he had a great time playing and running in the backyard. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“I appreciate Howie and the care he provided my pup! He had a blast and smiled all night! I feel good leaving him with Howie and I know he will be cared for the way I would.”

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.
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”
“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”
“Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.”
“Marisa did a great job handling three-month-old Basie’s first time away from his home and family. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet between her dog and Basie ahead of time to make sure they would get along together. She also made sure that Basie had fun and got to do some safe exploring and socializing. I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after Basie in the future.”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My little guy is almost 15 weeks and loves to be outside. I greatly appreciated her taking him out for walks, making sure he was happy, taking him out for a multitude of potty breaks (sometimes 2 times in an hour if needed) and keeping me updated throughout the day. I highly recommend Nicole, especially if you want your dog to be well cared for!!”
“Lydia has been so flexible with pick-up/drop off times and is willing to watch our dog on short notice. Mac absolutely loves her and I know he’s so well taken care of when he stays with her. Most times he doesn’t want to leave! We will use Lydia for as long as she’ll have him! ❤️”
“Joe was amazing! My dog, Chocolate Chip, loved him and his sweet dog Henry. Joe gave me so many great tips as a first-time dog owner and was incredibly accommodating with my work schedule. I felt completely at ease knowing Chip was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Joe again soon!”
“My dog Louie had the best day at Emily’s!! Emily works from home and keeps Louie active during the day. He loved playing with her dogs and the long walk he got! Louie will definitely be back!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, from kittens to seniors, and since I was 12 I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs as well.

Whatever instructions you give me to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, I promise to follow exactly. I love animals and my schedule is very flexible, so whenever your needs are, I will do my absolute best to meet them!
“Jackson is a really invested dog walker. He’s so good with our pandemic pup who seems to love the attention and walks during the day with him now that we’re all back to work and school and the pup is home alone more often.”
About: **I do not offer boarding services for dogs** I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and am a huge animal lover. I have been a service dog handler for 6 years. My service dog is Brutus, he is a 7 year old german shepherd. I have had him his entire life, I started training him when he was 4 months old. We started specialized service training when he was 1 years old. We worked with trainers together for 3 years and I have handler trained him for 2 years. I have helped my friends and family train their dogs for 3 years. My dog does amazing with cats and dogs! I have owned and cared for many cats throughout my life. I am very adaptable and can accept short notice bookings. Cats and dogs are allowed access to the entire apartment. I ask owners bring litter and food but am able to provide it if you are unable. I have worked with young kittens/puppies, seniors, special needs cats, high energy cats and dogs, and cats with all sorts of personalities. I live in an apartment and will take your dog out multiple times a day. I am home all day, your little buddy won’t be alone at any time. I am able to accept same day bookings and same day cancellations. Due to my living arrangements I can not accept dogs that struggle with excess barking. I do not work due to disability and have open availability ***I ONLY OFFER CAT BOARDING*** I can board up to 4 cats in my home for as long as needed. My dog is good with cats and has lived with them most of his life. I will update you daily with photos/videos. I provide toys, scratching posts, and will shower your kitty with attention. I ask you bring food and litter. My dog does great with cats and is friendly with them. He respects their boundaries and leaves them alone. He’s the same way with other dogs. I will follow feeding and care schedules. During daycare services with your dog I will ensure they get outside multiple times a day, and are safe and taken care of. I live near a large dog park and several walking trails. I will follow your cats care routine and schedule. I am home most of the day and can provide around the clock care and attention. I have toys, scratching boards, and a supply of litter/food for cats. I do not currently own a cat but have owned many throughout my life.
“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”
“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”
“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!”
About: Hi there! I've been an animal lover my whole life and have 20+ years experience caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. From walks and play time at the park to chill hangs and snuggles on the couch, I'd be thrilled to spend time with your furry family member. I’ve just moved back home to Minneapolis after a gap year spent in Melbourne, Australia. While I search for a full time job, my schedule is flexible and available to care for your pets. I’m respectful of your home and your rules— whatever they may be— and am available for both drop-in visits or overnight stays to care for your animals.
“Always takes the best care of my dog!! Great communication and accommodating my dogs needs. It makes my day when I get to see all the fun routes they take and the cute and funny pictures of my dog😂 thank you Sydney!!!”
About: Growing up in Colorado, I am no stranger to all types of wildlife and a variety of pets. I have spent many summers on a farm and believe it or not cows are like overgrown lovable doggies. I have vast experience with sick and abused animals and with an open heart and gentle touch I'm able to build trust and confidence in almost any pet. I'm physically active but also enjoy a nice snuggle on the couch. So if you have an athlete, couch potato or anything in between, I'm your man. I'm easy to get along with and have wonderful communication skills. I volunteer for several soup kitchens and food pantries. My life is to be of service to all living creatures through patienceand kindness. Call me with questions or concerns anytime. I look forward to bringing joy and safety to your home. Taking care of pets is a passion of mine. I love all life forms. I have a wonderful little girl that loves guests to play with. It's an everyday thing for us. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. We take long walks and trips to the park often. Snuggles on the couch are typical in this house. Meal time is the same time everyday and when we have guests we always separate the kids during meal time. Just to be safe.
“Jenna does a wonderful job with my greyhound Roo! She is attentive to her needs and reports concerns whenever she has them. She even has Roo trying to take me on her longer walking routes! I'm thrilled to have her support in caring for my sweet pup.”
About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.
About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.
“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
“Emilie was great with our dog Linus! She was very responsive and lovely with our old dog. I appreciated her quick and thorough responses and care when walking Linus.”
About: I am an elementary school teacher on summer break so I have a very flexible schedule. My family has always had dogs, and I have a big chunky dog of my own whose name is Teo. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperament, I have gone through different training programs for my own dogs so I have picked up a few skills on working and training dogs. I love spending time with dogs and caring for them. I love to run and bike if you have a high energy dog who needs more than a walk to get some energy out. I look forward to caring for your pet! I am a teacher and during the summers I have time to give your pup plenty of attention. I am pretty active so I can take dogs for runs, hikes, or just sit in the yard with them. I can care for your pet in whatever way they feel most comfortable. Whether they need lots of stimulation or just a pal to sit next them for a while, I’m here to make sure your dog’s needs are met. I am on summer break so I have a very flexible schedule.

“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Would rate ten stars if we could. We have never had to board our pup for longer than two days and we put our full trust in Timm for our nine day trip. It was also our dog's first experience with a cat and Timm made sure that experience went smoothly. Timm also set up a video call well in advance of our pup's stay to assure us of the other pets he'd be staying with and the home he would be staying at. When we arrived, he ran right up to the house and made himself at home. We got several updates throughout our honeymoon and enjoyed all of the photos and videos. We are so grateful for Timm and plan to book with him in the future.”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“We were very happy with our first boarding experience with McKenzie for our two golden retrievers. We met with McKenzie before our boarding date. It was very obvious she is caring and has a passion for the dogs she cares for. She is organized, and good communication before and during our dogs stay. Definitely recommend and will return for future boarding.”
“Amazing time with Ashlie. I loved her updates and great photos of our pup during her week with the family. Much appreciated and hope to book with her again soon!”
“Alyson took care of my pup like a member of her family. She was welcoming and flexible when I needed to schedule st the last minute. We will definitely return!”
“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“Kira is so great. She sends pics of my pup throughout the day everyday, and I never have to wonder if she’s okay. Super appreciative of how she’s super responsive and has been available last munite!!”
“Erin did a great job caring for my high energy dog! She was very communicative and on top of it — if I could ask my pup I’m sure he’d tell me he had a great time :)”
“Memory updated Certainly! Here’s a review for your dog sitter, Carolina: I couldn't be happier with Carolina's care for my dog, Echo. From the moment I met her, it was clear she was attentive and dedicated to making sure Echo was happy and comfortable. She sent many pictures and detailed notes about Echo's day, which was a wonderful way to stay connected with him while I was away. I could tell how much attention and care Echo received based on the detailed updates. One of the highlights was how well Echo got along with Carolina's dog, Olivia. It's always a bonus when Echo not only gets a sitter but also a new dog friend! Knowing that Echo was happy and had a playmate made me feel even more at ease. I'm so pleased with Carolina's service that I'm about to rebook with her, pending our schedules align. I highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.”
“Maggie and Cooper had a blast with Rikki and Daniel! They were truly “dog people”. She sent updates throughout the weekend and was very easy going and responsive with any questions I had.”
“Jessica and Grant took wonderful care of our golden retriever while we were away. They sent frequent updates and photos and gave her lots of exercise. She was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would gladly use them again.”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“Promise and family took great care of my dog. She allowed my dog to get comfortable with her before introducing to dogs in her home. She sent video of them playing together . Thank you for looking out for my dog so carefully .”
“I felt so great about leaving my dog with Emily. We did a meet and greet a month or so before my booking and at the time she was caring for another, older dog. My dog is not as spry as he used to be and knowing that she has experience with other older furry friends gave me additional peace of mind. She was always very prompt to respond during the booking process and scheduling drop off/pick up times. My dog seemed so comfortable and happy in her care, he seemed like he didn't even want to leave when I went to pick him up! Next time I am in need a sitter, Emily's availability will be the first thing I look into!”
“We are so pumped we found someone to trust our sensitive, teddy-bear of a pitty with when we travel! Jacquie and her hubby are true animal lovers and took care of our Cowboy just as if he was their own. I could tell when I arrived to pick him up that he was comfortable and at ease in their home. I fully trust them and would highly recommend them, especially if you have a sensitive pup that can get home sick!”
“Ida had a wonderful weekend, and made some friends while I was away. Celia definitely catered to her quirks, and Ida acted like she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. 10/10 would recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Doc and Heather! Communication was excellent, all expectations exceeded, and our dog was clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
