Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gladstone
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gladstone
“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“My shy fearful dog who is afraid of her shadow was shivering in the back seat until Ashley started talking to her and she jumped right out. I couldn't have been happier. She's our dog whisperer now! We will be booking again soon!”
“Nathen did a great job taking care of my golden retriever Stella. He’s got a cozy area in his basement where the dogs he’s taking care of can hang out with him while he works, and a good sized, fenced back yard for play.”
“Laurie watched our dog for 8 days while we were out of the country. She was very communicative with frequent updates and photos during our time away. Our dog settled in quickly with her which said a lot. She was very attentive to his specific needs and he came home very happy. Thank you, Laurie!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“Sharon & Glen both took great care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town. One of my dogs has a hard time getting around and they were accommodating and so gentle. They also have the perfect back yard to let the other run off energy. Will absolutely book again for future travel needs. Thank you!!”
“Misti provided good updates with cute pictures of my dog! She is a senior dog who needs lots of medications but I felt comfortable leaving her in Misti’s care. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Madi was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we had the best experience. Our dog absolutely loved her as soon as he met her and she kept us updated the whole time with great pictures and nice messages. We could vacation easily knowing how well taken care of our pup was. We will definitely be asking her again!”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Rebecca did a great job with my 1 year old labradoodle! She was very communicative, sent multiple pictures and videos each day, and I felt safe and comfortable having her watch my dog. Stella will definitely be back to stay with Rebecca and her family :)”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Amanda and her family took great care of my Remi. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and Remi always looked happy and having fun. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for great care of their dogs. We will be definitely using her again!”
“Mackenzie took great care of our 14 week old Vizsla puppy while we were out of town for a week on business. I’m sure he was a handful but she cared for him with such kindness and patience. Bodhi was sad to leave!”

“This is our second time using Billie Jo and it’s been great. Our cats come out for her and are cared for. Already have our next service booked. Thanks Billie Jo!”
“Laurie was amazing. She was really good about giving text updates for my two kitties, Nigel and Noob! She was also very accommodating to my schedule, even though I booked her at the last minute and got the dates wrong. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to watch your cats!”
“Stephanie saved our trip! She jumped in to care for our pets when our sitter had an emergency. She communicated with me so she was caught on the details about our dogs. I could tell by the pics she provided that our dogs received lots of love and attention.”
“Misti took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks. She did everything I asked and sent extra notes and pics at each visit. She is a great communicator! Misti even got my shy cat, Paris, into a great routine early on and was able to pet her by the end of the two weeks. I called Misti the cat whisperer for her ability to win Paris over. The house was perfect and cats were happy when we returned home. I will definitely call upon Misti for pet care in the future!”
About: During the school year, I have the ability to drop-in before 6:30am and after 3:00pm (4:00pm on Wednesdays). I enjoy interacting with cats at their level of comfort. I will spend time playing with cats using their favorite toys. I love giving cats attention through lots of cuddles, pets, and chin scratches. I’ve owned shy cats before, and I understand their need to hide around new people. I will try to coax them out of hiding through treats, toys, and calls, but I will also respect their desire to hide. I will send pictures of your cats while you’re away to help you feel relaxed and confident in their care. I have had senior cats in the past, so I feel comfortable administering medication and taking care of senior cat needs. I am able to scoop litter boxes and will clean up hairballs, as needed. If cats need to be brushed, I can do that, as well.
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
“Theresa took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was super responsive and gave daily updates with lots of pictures. She even got my shy kitty to come out from under the bed after a couple of days.”
“Heather took amazing care of my cats while I was away! It was her first time watching them and she sent the best updates and made sure to give them lots of love. Heather pays attention to detail, is patient, and super caring. Definitely will request her again!”
“Riley is the sweetest! Great at communicating and very thorough and sweet. Provided great updates for our sweet cat throughout the weekend. Will definitely reach out again for cat sitting!”
“Paola was wonderful to my babies and always made the extra effort. She was on time and spent the entire hour with my babies and I truly appreciate that. She sent me photos, I missed them so much its my first time away from my kitten the pictures were so appreciated. Thanks so much Paola and if I go out of town again im going to be hoping to have you watch them! 🫶🏼”
“Jennifer was communicative! My kitty even came out and let her pet him. He's usually terrified of strangers. She sent updates and pictures! Will definitely use her again. Thank you!”
“Kyle was great. Ella is an insulin dependent diabetic and he reliably made visits to time her dosing appropriately. He was also available on short notice which really helped me out. Many thanks Kyle!”
“Virginia was great with my cat for a week! I was a little nervous about leaving her for the first time, but she sent daily pics and updates which really eased my nerves! Would definitely book again!”
About: Hey y'all! I'm a looooong time fur mom and lover of all animals. We have a 3 goofy rescues Innu, Brodie Lee and lil sis Alora, but we want to help 'em make more friends! They are SUPER dog friendly and so are we. We take them on walks through our neighborhood and local parks which can lead to off path walking, so I may have to give a bath to your fur babies. We live in a hard wood floor house so accidents are no sweat to us! Our home is well kept and very animal friendly. I've worked in shelters, rescues, and have had many rehabilitated and injured fur babies throughout my life. My kids are my helpers as they are ready for new dogs with different levels of activities and have learned basic training methods from following me. We're here to be the safest and BEST sitters in the metro! I work remotely from my office which looks out into the back yard and allots me a great deal of time to really bond and have a good time sitting others pups! With all to do in the city I just know your pups will enjoy us as much as ours do. I have a oddly terrained fenced yard with a flat patio and tons of shady spots for the dogs to lounge for as long as they please (weather permitting). I leave a big ole' water bowl out there as well - holds 2 gallons and I fill it every day at the beginning and throughout the day.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gladstone
“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
“Nathan was great! Quick to respond and took our little guy for daycare on VERY short notice. No communication issues and we would definitely trust him to pet sit for us again.”
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
“I was very nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time but James exceeded my expectations he was very attentive to my dogs needs and sent me updates. My dog can be a handful but James was amazing. He was great and friendly and highly recommend!”
About: My mom has been a trusted Rover sitter for several years now, so I grew up around this — it’s kind of in the blood. I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, you name it, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you bring my way. I have a large fenced backyard, a clean and pet-friendly home, and a very playful environment. Every stay includes treats, toys, and whatever adventures we can get into. I also have three dogs of my own — a Beagle, a Chihuahua, and a Shar-Pei — so your pet will always have company and will feel right at home within minutes. Your pet will be in good hands — I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy it. I have one of my own that’s stays in a consistent schedule and never forgotten or goes without attention (constant potty breaks included) , have all the free time in the word and have years on years of experience with all pets massive and small obedient or not, your pet will be looked after enjoy the time an my little fur baby loves to keep them company wherever they decide to adventure I have a big gated backyard plenty but enough for multiple dogs to do their own thing including my own free range to sleep jump and lay on furniture including beds and free range to the entire house and back yard,Very used to medicating if needed, crating, training, all an etc whatever special treatment they may need I’ve delt with it all and nothing to difficult to stay or keep up on if needed
“Clover has done day Carr with Rocio once before and this time like last she was a tired and happy pup after her visit! So appreciate the communication and photo updates! Thank you”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur baby. This was our first time leaving our girl with someone we didn’t know but Alex answered all our questions and we felt more than comfortable leaving her for the day. We loved getting videos of her playing and having a good time with all her new friends. If in the KC area again, we would definitely take her back!”
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.
“Pumba had a great time! It was so nice to have someone to watch our puppy while we played in K.C. We used Nicole for two days and Pumba was eager to go back and see her on the second day. She is definitely a dog lover!”
“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
About: I’ve kept and rescued animals since a young age, which included tending to any wounds or injuries. My own pets were fosters, and most recently I fostered a lovely pittie who was then adopted. I’m very good with skittish cats, and I have a good understanding of basic dog training techniques. Lastly, I live a street away from a nice park which is good for dog walks. I love all animals, and spending time with them and caring for them is just as good for me as it is for them. I am currently self employed and jobs are few, so I have a very flexible schedule. Most, if not all my time would be dedicated to any pets in my care. I do have two of my own cats, so any dogs would have to be okay with cats in the house. All pets are different, with their own personalities, routines and likes/dislikes. Therefore, I plan to ask for detailed instructions regarding pet care. This can include things like a preference to crate the dog at night, dietary restrictions, favorite activities etc. I am detail oriented and appreciate any information or details owners can provide about their pets so that I may provide the best care possible.
About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences. I’m dependable, organized, and know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like one of my own. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own Huskies and Samoyed every single day. Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.
“Amanda was great, we went and did a visit. The visit went very well and her dog was very friendly and has a large backyard to run in. Amanda was very informative about the daycare that is provided and she would send videos during the day if you wanted.”
About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.
About: Are you looking for a place your pet will love to visit, look no further. Your dog will be treated as family while in our care. We have a lot of laps to provide attention and love. We will will walk your dog and play with him/ her daily. Our family has been dog-sitting for many years. We love having extra dogs here. Your dogs will get personal attention and daily walks. We are home most of the day. I've had the privilege of having dogs (and other pets) all my life. Currently we have 3 small dogs. We love having pets in our lives, and they are fun to have around. The children in this house are dog lovers, and they can't wait to help out! Our pets are part of our family and spend time with us whether we are lounging around or playing outside. We have a quiet neighborhood we can walk your dogs around. We have plenty of room for them to play. I hope you will choose our family to be your dog's home away from home. With our range of age in our family, often there is someone home to attend to your dog. During the summers, we have even more flexibly and more of us regularly at home. This gives us regular opportunities for walks and potty breaks.

“Kamila has been taking my Goldendoodle on walks while I am at work and has been so amazing! She communicates very well with me and has been so flexible with my nursing schedule. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone!!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
About: I have never lived a day my 34 years without at least one pet to my name, usually dogs and cats. I have taken care of dogs and cats through every stage of life -- from delivering puppies to training competitive hunting dogs and providing palliative care for aging pets. I have a medical background and am comfortable with basic medical care. I work at home and am generally home the entire day. I have total flexibility over my schedule so it's easy for me to adjust to last-minute changes. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment in a very animal-friendly complex with plenty of residential streets and parks for long walks and fun. You can trust me to not only care for your pet but to respect the boundaries you set forth in regards to your pet's care.
“Billie is so wonderful! We could not peacefully go to work without her help. Our dog is always happy when I get home and the house is always locked and secured after her departure. THANK YOU!”
“Stephanie is very kind to my dogs and very professional. I'm so happy that she's helping me. I appreciate you helping me with my dogs, which is very important to me. I highly recommend her.”

“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”
About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I do work for the school district 11am-1:30pm but I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. Any drop offs and pick ups will need to be before 9am or after 2:30pm I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.
About: i’ve owned dogs on my own for 10 years, worked professionally with dogs for 7 years in a kennel/day care environment. i have worked with dogs of different temperaments and sizes and ages and have training in pet health, safety, and body language. i work full time, with a set schedule. i am more than happy to come by to see your babies before or after work as well as on my days off. i personally walk my dogs on properly fitted harnesses on 4 ft leashes, one of them with a muzzle. i am open to 6 ft leashes, retractable leashes, prong collars, muzzles, backyard play, whatever your pup needs !!
“Michaela has been walking my dogs twice a week since November. She is always on time, my dogs wait for her every day! Every day! They love Michaela, returning home exhausted and happy. She even cleans their muddy paws when they come home! Perfect dog walker.”

“Kyle has been great! He has great energy and our pups love him. He has great communication. He's punctual, he's flexible, and he has pockets full of treats. He has even been working with our baby to stop her from pulling on walks. I am so happy to have found him.”
“Dependable, knowledgable and kind are the key words I would use to describe Jennifer's service. She has cared for our puppy twice, both times she walked him with her own dog, fed him and played with him. I came home to find a happy content puppy. Thanks Jennifer!”
About: If you’re anything like me, your pets are some of the most important things to you. Leaving them behind is hard, and trusting a stranger to take care of them is even harder. Your pet is your baby — which is why I aim to provide them with the same level of care that you give them! EXPERIENCE: I am an experienced small and large breed dog owner, walker, trainer, and sitter with over 7 years of experience. I’m a certified dog-walker for KC Pet Project and have a degree in psychology that informs my training practices. Some of my other special skills include administering oral medications via pill or syringe, working with blind and deaf pets, adapting to various temperaments from wary seniors to energetic babies, attuning to body language, and providing first aid. One of my own dogs struggles with severe separation anxiety, so I have a wealth of experience with giving daily oral medications, lowering distress levels, and compassionately discouraging resulting destructive behaviors. My schedule is very flexible for walks and drop-in visits! To beat the heat, I’m available in the mornings and evenings. At this time, I am unavailable for constant-care overnight visits. Most of all, I aim to keep your pet safe and to communicate clearly and consistently with you. I’m happy to do meet-and-greets before services begin so that we can establish a relationship and set expectations. I am comfortable with kenneling, provide constant monitoring to ensure safety, and I value giving your pet plenty of attention when in my care. Even if your routine is unorthodox, I am open and willing to try it! Not to mention, I find it important to ensure tidiness and maintain organization by putting things back where they belong.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own and have been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have experience at a dog boarding/daycare facility as well as boarding in my own home. I am currently unavailable on weekends but, I can care for your fur babies during the week before and after work! Monday-Friday 6a-8a and 2:30p-9p I do walks and drop in visits. Please let me know if I can bring treats! (and any allergies) I am comfortable walking 2-3 dogs at a time if you are a multi-dog household. If boarding, I have a fenced in back yard and a dog door that I open/close as needed. I have 3 dogs to keep yours company and to play with for their stay.
About: *Please make sure your profile is accurate. I cannot accommodate pets that don’t get along with other animals.** I’ve had dogs my entire life and until recently was working at a vet clinic. I love animals and look forward to being able to help you with your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available early mornings, mid-day/afternoon and late. I am open to long term or short term needs. Please make sure that your pet is dog friendly. Thanks!! ❤️ I do have a dog, Lola, who is very social and has yet to meet a dog she doesn’t want to play! I live in a townhome and do have a small fenced in outdoor area. I work remotely and can accommodate most schedules. I am able to walk early mornings, mid day and any time in the evenings as needed. I am able to walk as often as needed. Pets are treated like family and allowed on furniture as long as they aren’t chewers and pretty much have free range.

“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“My shy fearful dog who is afraid of her shadow was shivering in the back seat until Ashley started talking to her and she jumped right out. I couldn't have been happier. She's our dog whisperer now! We will be booking again soon!”
“Nathen did a great job taking care of my golden retriever Stella. He’s got a cozy area in his basement where the dogs he’s taking care of can hang out with him while he works, and a good sized, fenced back yard for play.”
“Laurie watched our dog for 8 days while we were out of the country. She was very communicative with frequent updates and photos during our time away. Our dog settled in quickly with her which said a lot. She was very attentive to his specific needs and he came home very happy. Thank you, Laurie!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“Sharon & Glen both took great care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town. One of my dogs has a hard time getting around and they were accommodating and so gentle. They also have the perfect back yard to let the other run off energy. Will absolutely book again for future travel needs. Thank you!!”
“Misti provided good updates with cute pictures of my dog! She is a senior dog who needs lots of medications but I felt comfortable leaving her in Misti’s care. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Madi was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we had the best experience. Our dog absolutely loved her as soon as he met her and she kept us updated the whole time with great pictures and nice messages. We could vacation easily knowing how well taken care of our pup was. We will definitely be asking her again!”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Rebecca did a great job with my 1 year old labradoodle! She was very communicative, sent multiple pictures and videos each day, and I felt safe and comfortable having her watch my dog. Stella will definitely be back to stay with Rebecca and her family :)”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Amanda and her family took great care of my Remi. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and Remi always looked happy and having fun. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for great care of their dogs. We will be definitely using her again!”
“Mackenzie took great care of our 14 week old Vizsla puppy while we were out of town for a week on business. I’m sure he was a handful but she cared for him with such kindness and patience. Bodhi was sad to leave!”
