Personalized care for your dog or cat - Apex
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Apex
“Leanne was amazing with Koda! From the start, she gave me a full tour of her home and made sure we were aligned on Koda’s needs. Her space is perfect—huge backyard for him to run around, and she sent daily photo and video updates that put me at ease. She was super transparent about her work schedule but also very flexible—she came home as needed to let him out and was home most of the time. Her child also helped care for Koda, which was a bonus since he loves kids! What really gave me peace of mind was seeing the look in Koda’s eyes and his happy tail. He was clearly loved, well-fed, and comfortable—especially impressive since it was our first time using a sitter. The fact that he was eating, playing with other dogs, and enjoying himself made my trip completely stress-free. I’d absolutely book with Leanne again. Highly recommend!”
“Mara was absolutely amazing in caring for my dog, Niko! She communicated very well and sent me pictures of my pup. She eased my worries about boarding my dog for the first time. I could tell Niko was under great care. I will definitely book her in the near future!”
“This was Baileys first overnight stay with Katie but it definitely won’t be his last!! I can not recommend her enough!! She sent us wonderful updates and pics every day and was so tuned in to Baileys personality and needs. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with when we were traveling. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind while we were out of town knowing he was being loved and well taken care of. We will definitely be booking Katie for our next trip!”
“My timid girl had a great stay with Tara. Open communication including daily updates, pictures and videos during her stay. Perfect accommodations to make her feel at home and the fenced yard was a plus! It was really nice not worrying about whether my dog was comfortable and not stressed out while we were away from home!”
“Lydia was OUTSTANDING! She treated our kitties 😸 Lilo and Finny as her own. Great to work with. I would not hesitate to book her. An amazing and caring person. Thank you for the love you showed our pets.”
“My dogs have not stayed with a sitter before so I was nervous about leaving them. Debbie was wonderful from the meet-n-greet to the time I picked them up. Very patient and understanding as I have "talkative" beagles. She sent many pics and notes to let me know how they were doing which put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. I will definitely call on her again! Thanks Debbie & Richard!!!”
“Cameron is truly a dog whisperer! My pup Louie and I are from Georgia and were completely unfamiliar with the area, but finding Cameron was a blessing! I’ve trusted him to watch my 5-year-old twice now, and I honestly don’t think I could find a more reliable and knowledgeable sitter. Cameron isn’t just a sitter—he’s a trainer too! He’s worked with Louie and me both at his home and at the park, helping address Louie’s past aggression with strangers. The progress has been incredible—our daily walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable! Louie also has severe allergies, and I was initially worried about flare-ups and hives while I was away. But thanks to Cameron’s careful attention and experience, Louie hasn’t had a single issue. I’m beyond grateful for the care and dedication Cameron has shown. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy—especially for your first time—you cannot go wrong with him. You have my word”
“Teresa was wonderful. Kind and thoughtful to make sure our Maggie had a good time. Even a new friend in Snickers. Perfect experience. Thank you Teresa. Will reach out again.”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”
“Amie and her family are the most caring, compassionate and loving people! This was our first Rover experience and Amie answered ALL of my questions. We could not have imagined a better environment for our little pup. She had a blast and we will be back! Thank you Amie and Family for being so wonderful to our youngest!”
“Bryan is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. Cooper loves going there and I never worry while I am away. Bryan is reliable, trustworthy and has excellent communication. I love getting the pictures and videos and seeing how much fun Cooper is having.”
“My dogs had another great experience with Melanie for 5 days when I went on vacation. They love it there and her other dogs. The videos and photos she sent each day of my dogs made me feel happy to see them playing and relaxing at her house. Melanie is great, and I’m so happy I found her.”
“Rachel and her family took such good care of Opal, I couldn’t recommend them enough! I felt very comfortable knowing they treated her like their own. She loved playing with Rudy and running around in their huge backyard. They also sent pictures and videos daily, which made being away from Opal so much better!”
“Lea & Brandon are amazing souls! They treated my Lucy as their own pup. She had so much fun playing and lounging around with them and their dog Korra. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again! I know Lucy loved her time there and would definitely enjoy there time again! Thank you again! :)”
“Rachel welcomed our 2 pups into her amazing home and huge fenced in backyard. They had a blast playing and enjoying her family. Rachel communicated often with pictures of all the fun. We are so happy we found such a wonderful caregiver for our babies.”
“Alicia and her family welcomed our dog with open arms. She sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. Cora enjoyed her stay and we are so grateful for a place for her to go when we need to leave town!”
“Rayna and Zach are awesome! They took care of Reba on a holiday weekend and accepted an extra night last minute when plans changed. My pup was so happy and relaxed when she got home from playing with their dogs all weekend! I’ll definitely book them again!”
“"Brandon was very good with our dog, who is large and can have high energy. He asked for any specific care details and provided brief updates throughout our trip. He kindly accommodated an extra day for us on short notice when we had to delay travel due to inclement weather. Would recommend! We will definitely use Brandon again in the future, Moto had a great time!"”
“Kelly was so great with our puppy Luna. We needed care within a short notice for a long weekend and Kelly was perfect. She took Luna to a dog park, took her on walks and spent lots of time with her. She was patient with her new puppy energy and we would definitely use Kelly again. Luna was sad to leave 😊”

Cat caregivers near you - Apex
About: I have worked with cats of all size shapes and temperaments! From your kittys that just want all the love to those who just need me to fill their bowls I’d love to take care of them while you’re away!
“Kacy was very friendly and really appreciate her coming over the holidays - including twice on Christmas Day, to watch my two cats and visiting cat. She did a great job and left everything in order.”
About: For the past ten years I have helped friends and family alike watching over their pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, turtles, hamsters/mice, and birds. Whatever the needs are, I am here to assist and allow you to have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I treat all pets like they are my own. I’m available for most all bookings. I am free on the weekends and weekdays. On weekdays I am usually free after 5 and weekends can be made available to suit your needs. Do you have special instructions or pets with special needs? No problem. I pay great attention to detail and can assist in the specific care you may need.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of each dog's unique needs and personality. I make sure to provide personalized care, attention, and lots of love, so every dog feels comfortable and happy. I also have experience with different breeds and can handle special requirements like medication or specific exercise routines. Plus, I keep clear communication with pet owners to update them regularly. I’m currently full time pet sitter :) and I also do pet delivery from state to state. I also do babysitting as part time and nanny as part time from time to time when families are needing me. I have fenced yard. I have a 2 months old cat, who’s very friendly and sweet. I was told she was good with other dogs and she’s lovely with cats.
“Chayanne was great. She was flexible, able to meet me at the last minute and take the job. She was there everyday on the day/time I requested and stayed for 30 minutes giving my cat lexi some much needed company and sending me pictures of her. Highly recommended.”
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
“Raquel is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and communicated with me about visits. She made daily drop in visits for my cats. I came home to healthy, calm, well taken care of cats. She is very conscientious. I would recommend her and definitely ask her to care for my cats again.”
“Ruth was very professional and did the job well. She fed my pet, cleaned out the litter and also generously offered to water the plants while she was there. Highly recommend and will book again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been a cat lover my whole life ever since I was born, I’ve always had a cat by my side. I grew up on a farm with both barn cats and house cats, and I’ve cared for two full litters from birth. From fluffy Maine Coons to fancy Persians to sweet strays, I’ve loved them all. I’m great with cats of all temperaments — shy, spicy, or snuggly — and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Cats are truly my favorite pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own!
About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, I have had dogs of all sizes, personalities and traits! I will love your pets like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I currently work full time but I can be flexible with when I am needed! I will make your pup(s) my #1 priority while you are away! I can crate your dogs, work with or without a fence and I also love to play outdoors with the dogs I am watching as well, if appropriate/applicable. I also love snuggle time too (even if I have to be on the floor)!
“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
About: As a lifelong cat lover and experienced sitter, I treat every kitty like family. Whether your cat needs gentle playtime, extra cuddles, or specialized care. I am dedicated to providing safe, loving, and attentive care. I am reliable, and available for daily drop-ins, overnights and anything your fur baby needs. I can’t wait to meet your feline friend!
About: I have owned cats my entire life. I've had some that had litters and given me grand kid kittens. My cats are my children. I have enjoyed the company they provide. The mystical energy they give is unique, makes you want to learn more about the curiosity behind a cat. I have more pictures of my cats, more than family, friends, or myself
“Barbara was fantastic! She was incredibly reliable and took great care of Murphy while we were out of town. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Murphy was safe, happy, and well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter.”

“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away.

About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*
“Ashley is excellent with dogs. My pup was immediately welcomed into Ashley’ home. Ashley is very responsive and is genuinely invested into my pup. I highly recommend Ashley and will definitely request her services again.”
“Wendy and her husband did a terrific job of watching my little guy Toby. You can tell immediately they are dog lovers and treated Toby just as one of theirs or better! I would definitely recommend Wendy if you're looking for a good dog sitter.”
About: Former vet office employee turned SAHM looking for pets to love on from my home. Excited to give quality attention to every pet in my care. I’m a stay at home mom to one kiddo so we are home most days/ evenings to play in the yard, go on walks, or just snuggle on the couch. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play with our 3 year old poodle, Frankie. We will do everything we can to make every pet feel safe and comfortable.
“Wonderful sitter - Melanie took the time to do a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure the booking was a good fit for everyone. Very attentive and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. My Obi had a great time!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of every age of dog. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian my entire childhood. I was even going to try and start the process, but then life happened and my plans had to change. My plans took me to being a stay at home mom to 3 kids who also love animals. While I am no professional, I love trying to help my dogs learn new tricks or commands. Once again not a professional, but I do all of my dogs grooming needs myself. I have clippers and a grinder for nails and all kinds of brushes. For the babies not afraid of vacuums I also have a pet grooming vacuum. I can brush bathe and clip dogs nails at the owners request. If you bring your own shampoo the bath will be at no cost to you. If you dont have any it will just be a small fee for me to use some that I have. I am able to give medications if need be. I can also follow special diet routines if necessary as long as you bring the supplies that are needed. I am a stay at home mom for our 3 kids so when your fur baby is in my care they will hardly ever have to be kenneled. Potty breaks can be as often as needed based on what they are used to at their actual home. Daily walks can be taken(depending on the weather). I would be delighted to care for your dog while you’re away! My home is shared with my husband, our three children, and two friendly dogs who love to play in our fenced yard. I also offer daily walks to keep your pup active and happy. I normally follow a two-meal schedule with my own dogs, but I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine. Since we also have a cat, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable around cats. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone. If there are any special routines or comforts that help your pup feel at ease, I’ll gladly accommodate them when I can. For higher-energy dogs, I even have experience biking with pups who enjoy an active workout.
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled.

Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.
“Kristin is such a friendly and accommodating host. She was able to take care of Lola on short notice after we had to temporarily change care. She cares for all the dogs and Lola always came back happy after her stays and play.”
“Kirsten is AMAZING! I met her the day before I dropped Ringo off with her & she was fabulous! She’s so sweet & so so good with Ringo! She sends pictures & updates all through out the day! 10/10 recommend her! You WILL NOT be disappointed! She is absolutely FABULOUS! Ringo LOVES her!❤️❤️”
About: Growing up, I lived on a small farm and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of other peoples pets as well.

He loves to have friends over and is very friendly and playful. We also have a Ragdoll kitten that is super sweet and friendly.
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”

About: I’ve had my own pet sitting business since I was 12. After starting college, I have taken up pet grooming for the past 2 years. I do handle elder and young pets aswell. A lot of the time we take a trip around the neighborhood or hiking on a nearby trail to burn extra energy. I do currently work full time from home. I do have to go in some day to help out with the kids, but no longer than 4 hours. I have an unfenced yard and a lab myself. The pets are aloud to roam around and lay on furniture if that’s ok with you. They will be provided with 3 full meals a day unless stated otherwise and let out every 2-4 hours.
About: Hi! I'm an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 8 years of pet and house-sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also spent one year working at a boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple pets in a professional setting and learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and recognizing signs that a pet may need extra attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has unique needs. My 7-year-old Labrador is diabetic, so I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections. Whether your pet needs extra medical care, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I'm happy to provide compassionate, reliable care. During the week, I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting. My weekends are typically booked, so my availability is primarily Monday through Thursday! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through dependable communication and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently in school and work full-time at a hospital Friday-Sunday. Due to my restrictions on the weekends, my primary availability is during the week. I am available for drop-ins or house sitting during the week and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I also love to send updates throughout the time I spend with your pets, so expect some cute photos!

Spending time with animals was always amazing because they felt more a part of the family. I’ve taken care of friends and family animals, and made wonderful bonds with them. I see my own pets as more than just animals, but as my own children and any pet that I take care of that’s not mine I treat as if they are. I recently moved to this state so currently this will be my only occupation until I find something else. Then I'll be part time care. always check in for any health and food necessities. Check and see if they are an indoor or outdoor animal to be more prepared for walks.

“Leanne was amazing with Koda! From the start, she gave me a full tour of her home and made sure we were aligned on Koda’s needs. Her space is perfect—huge backyard for him to run around, and she sent daily photo and video updates that put me at ease. She was super transparent about her work schedule but also very flexible—she came home as needed to let him out and was home most of the time. Her child also helped care for Koda, which was a bonus since he loves kids! What really gave me peace of mind was seeing the look in Koda’s eyes and his happy tail. He was clearly loved, well-fed, and comfortable—especially impressive since it was our first time using a sitter. The fact that he was eating, playing with other dogs, and enjoying himself made my trip completely stress-free. I’d absolutely book with Leanne again. Highly recommend!”
“Mara was absolutely amazing in caring for my dog, Niko! She communicated very well and sent me pictures of my pup. She eased my worries about boarding my dog for the first time. I could tell Niko was under great care. I will definitely book her in the near future!”
“This was Baileys first overnight stay with Katie but it definitely won’t be his last!! I can not recommend her enough!! She sent us wonderful updates and pics every day and was so tuned in to Baileys personality and needs. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with when we were traveling. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind while we were out of town knowing he was being loved and well taken care of. We will definitely be booking Katie for our next trip!”
“My timid girl had a great stay with Tara. Open communication including daily updates, pictures and videos during her stay. Perfect accommodations to make her feel at home and the fenced yard was a plus! It was really nice not worrying about whether my dog was comfortable and not stressed out while we were away from home!”
“Lydia was OUTSTANDING! She treated our kitties 😸 Lilo and Finny as her own. Great to work with. I would not hesitate to book her. An amazing and caring person. Thank you for the love you showed our pets.”
“Cameron is truly a dog whisperer! My pup Louie and I are from Georgia and were completely unfamiliar with the area, but finding Cameron was a blessing! I’ve trusted him to watch my 5-year-old twice now, and I honestly don’t think I could find a more reliable and knowledgeable sitter. Cameron isn’t just a sitter—he’s a trainer too! He’s worked with Louie and me both at his home and at the park, helping address Louie’s past aggression with strangers. The progress has been incredible—our daily walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable! Louie also has severe allergies, and I was initially worried about flare-ups and hives while I was away. But thanks to Cameron’s careful attention and experience, Louie hasn’t had a single issue. I’m beyond grateful for the care and dedication Cameron has shown. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy—especially for your first time—you cannot go wrong with him. You have my word”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”
“Rachel and her family took such good care of Opal, I couldn’t recommend them enough! I felt very comfortable knowing they treated her like their own. She loved playing with Rudy and running around in their huge backyard. They also sent pictures and videos daily, which made being away from Opal so much better!”
“Lea & Brandon are amazing souls! They treated my Lucy as their own pup. She had so much fun playing and lounging around with them and their dog Korra. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again! I know Lucy loved her time there and would definitely enjoy there time again! Thank you again! :)”

“Rayna and Zach are awesome! They took care of Reba on a holiday weekend and accepted an extra night last minute when plans changed. My pup was so happy and relaxed when she got home from playing with their dogs all weekend! I’ll definitely book them again!”
“"Brandon was very good with our dog, who is large and can have high energy. He asked for any specific care details and provided brief updates throughout our trip. He kindly accommodated an extra day for us on short notice when we had to delay travel due to inclement weather. Would recommend! We will definitely use Brandon again in the future, Moto had a great time!"”
“Extremely pleased with the care and attention that Katie provided Kodak during this stay. She always provides periodic updates to ensure I’m aware of how my boy is doing throughout the day. Also, she’s been flexible with last minute schedules changes that I’ve had. Will definitely continue to use her services in the future!!”

“Kristen is so loving and sweet to our Teddy. She updated us every morning on how he was doing and through out the day. I could not be happier ♥️ I know Teddy is going to be happy to go back any day and so will we!”
“Yingfei was wonderful with our two dogs. She met them ahead of time and asked great questions about what kind of care they needed. Both of my dogs take medication and Yingfei was willing to administer this. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. My dogs ate and slept well at her home and returned home happy. I had a great experience with Yingfei and will definitely use her again.”
