“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Taylor! We were a bit nervous at first since Steven has only ever stayed with one other person before, but Taylor immediately put us at ease. She was so warm, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We loved getting daily updates and pictures—it was obvious Steven was having a great time. He looked so happy in every photo, and honestly, a little sad when it was time for him to go! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’d absolutely book with Taylor again.”
“I love the videos and pictures and constant updates daily. My boys love swimming and they were able to swim almost every day. Another great boarding experience!”
“Susan was great! She was very easy to communicate with, kept me updated on my dog with photos every day, and made a pleasant, comfortable home experience for my dog while we were on holiday!”
“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.”
“Derrika was absolutely phenomenal with Baker!!! She went above and beyond, truly treating him like family. She’s so genuine, caring, and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only safe but truly LOVED. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Cici! We needed a sitter on very short notice while we were out of town for our wedding weekend, and she was so kind and accommodating. She took excellent care of Cici and kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her kids were also so sweet and gentle with Cici, and it was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our sweet Mochi. She sent pics during his stay with her and we could see he had so much fun. We came to Kansas City from Oklahoma City for a sporting event and needed a safe and fun place for him to stay while we were going to be at the game. We could not have found a better option for him. Highly recommend Stephanie!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I'm comfortable reinforcing training, maintaining established routines, and caring for dogs with special needs, including administering insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, and following detailed treatment schedules. I work evening shifts, so my schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care before heading to work. Before I leave, they'll have plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and attention, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to cuddles, walks, and quality time. My evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so dogs are never left alone for extended periods. I live in a large, spacious apartment in a very dog-friendly community right next to a large park, so there will be no shortage of walks, fresh air, and new things to explore. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my daily routine. I work evening shifts, so I have most of the day to focus on walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your dog plenty of love and attention before I head to work. My shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to quality time together. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already part of my day. Living next to a large park makes it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing by my side, I'll tailor their care to their personality and routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and at home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's habits, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and settle in. I provide a clean, safe, and secure environment where dogs receive lots of attention, structure, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly community right next to a large park, and all walks are conducted on leash. I closely supervise pets during playtime, walks, feeding, and any interactions to ensure they're safe and comfortable. When I'm working, my evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so before I leave your dog will have plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a chance to settle in for some downtime. As soon as I'm home, they're my priority again with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Christine and her boys made Max feel very comfortable. Her boys were very attentive and loved taking him on walks. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Stephanie was quick responder and saved us from a very stressful last minute cancellation from another sitter. She sent lots of pics and updates from the weekend, putting as at ease. Would highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“We were in town with our pup for a few days and were looking to get out for a day and were able to get a last minute booking with Griffin to dog sit and he was terrific with our Milo. He sent us frequent updates along with photos to put us at ease so we could enjoy our day in the city. Highly recommend!”
“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).”
About: I was raised taking care of cats and dogs from the time I could walk. I recently moved to the area and I would love to spend some time with your animal. I currently work an 8-4 maybe a little longer on some days, so I would be able to stop in after I get home at four or anytime on the weekend! I will be able to come over for drop in visits and give your pets a potty break and some attention or anything that’s you need to make yourself and your animals more comfortable!
“Nelson stayed with Noreen over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She sent pictures of him in the morning, afternoons, and evening each day of his stay. She was very communicative and I didn't have to wonder how he was doing. Noreen was very accommodating to Nelson's diet. He stayed with two of his toys, his special food bowl, treats, and leashes. Noreen had a bed for him to sleep on and water bowls. Pictures showed Nelson enjoying being out in their backyard, going for walks, and playing with the other dogs. It appears he had a great time and I am very grateful that he got to stay with such a nice family over the holiday weekend. I had booked his stay on short notice because it had slipped my mind in preparation for my upcoming trip. All of the local kennels for boarding were booked. Noreen made it very easy for me to book his stay. It was very much appreciated. I highly recommend using her services and would definitely book again.”
“It's always a little scary to leave your pet with someone you don't know that well. But I can assure you that Lindsey and her husband are pet lovers who will treat your baby just like their own. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. In fact, I will most likely plan my next trip around her availability! :-) She and her husband are fabulous.”
“Madilynn does great with my puppy! I get updates while he’s there and he always comes home tired. I have a high energy puppy and she must have the endless patience with him.”

“Taylor provided amazing care to my cat while I was out of town for the holidays. She arrived at the requested time every day and even stopped by for a quick extra visit because she was in the area and wanted to make sure my Cat was adjusting to an empty home alright. I felt comfortable with her in my home while I was away and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my cat was in great hands. I highly recommend Taylor for all animal care and will be using her the next time I am out of town.”
“Amanda is so wonderful with both my kitties! She even checked on my axolotl while I was away to make sure his tank was running after the electricity went out while I was away. I love being able to travel anxiety-free knowing that this amazing gal is looking out for my babies!”
“Jessica is such a wonderful person! We are going to be away from our cats for a month while in Europe and Jessica's presence has made the distance so much easier! She's very responsive and has been excellent at completing the daily task and connecting with our cats!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better, Pet Sitter! Leaving my cat while I was on vacation is never easy but from the moment I met Theresa, I knew they were in excellent hands. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to get to know my cats, so they were comfortable around her. And I was so thankful she was able and willing to give insulin injections to my diabetic cat. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how each visit went. It gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I would absolutely trust Theresa again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and top-notch Pet Sitter!”
“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”
“Thank you Keesha for doing all you could to keep my kitty stress free while we were gone. And for all the updates which kept me stress free ?.”
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”
“I was very nervous to leave my boys for the first time while also being first time I've had to book a sitter. Claudia made sure to send me pictures with every visit while updating me on any shenanigans my boys caused. She eased my anxiety and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely request Claudia again!”
“Kellie was great! Unfortunately my kitties hid from her, but she was conscientious and did everything else, even though she didn't get to play with them! Will definitely use her again.”
“Evan was so great with our two kitties and spent so much time with them playing and just hanging out to keep them company. Great communication and made our trip even better without having to worry about our cats!”
“Malavika is top notch! She is kind, accommodating, and cares about her clients - both human and feline! She went out of her way, at the last minute, to house our 2 kitties while we were traveling cross country and we appreciate her so much. I recommend her to anyone and give her an A+ rating! Thank you Malavika!”
“Rachel took great care of my cat during a week-long trip! She sent informative updates and photos, was attentive to his needs, and handled a few vomiting episodes during my trip without issue.”
“Madeline was incredible with my sweet kitty! The time she spent with her and the care provided was so comforting! I've already booked Madeline again. So happy!”
“I'm thrilled to have found Emma on Rover as my new go-to pet sitter for Popcorn (my cat). Popcorn warmed up to Emma immediately, and Emma was communicative and a real cat pro. I loved the photos she sent while we were on vacation.”
“Kodiak was the best! They were super reliable, sent us updates and photos every day, and took great care of our kitties. It was really nice not having to worry when we were gone! When we got home there was a handwritten card and toys left for our cats, that was such a thoughtful touch and honestly made our day. We’d absolutely rebook and would recommend them to anyone! :)”
“Jackson’s level of care and attentiveness is top tier. Communications throughout remained as prompt, detailed, and reassuring as anyone could hope for! Will be rebooking in the future for sure.”

“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.”
“Christine is absolutely wonderful! She is always so understanding and flexible — she even watched my dog two hours past the planned time so I could take care of my niece on a school night. I never have to worry when bud is with her. He walks right in and makes himself at home, which says so much about how comfortable and cared for he feels. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Christine gives me and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for their pet.”
About: Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing and giving lots of cuddles, I make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am not currently working so my availability is open to care for your pets either in my home or yours. I am home all day most days unless it is to run out to grab my children from school. I have experience with crate training if that is preferred. I also have a large backyard for your pup to run around. I have experience with all age ranges (from puppies to elderly dogs)
“Naji watched our 3yr old weimeraner for an evening while we went to a wedding. She let us bring him over the day before for a ‘meet and greet’ with her dogs which was so helpful for us to see how they would interact. I also appreciated that she sent a few photos while we were gone. ☺️”
“Here's a review you can use: Brent did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Winnie, while I was on vacation. Knowing that Winnie was in good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. Brent provided regular updates throughout the week, which gave me great peace of mind. It was like a home away from home for Winnie. I will definitely be using Brent again in the future!”
About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for over a couple years for friends and family and I can’t wait to do more for the community. I love all animals and treat them like family. I’m excited to meet more furry friends! I’m currently a medical student at UAMS. I usually just stay at home and study. I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, dog parks, and much more! I have a back yard and a smoke free home to keep your furry friend company whenever needs be. I can adapt to your needs as long as we communicate and work through it!
“Ron provided a safe and comfortable setting for an anxious rescue dog who had never before been boarded. He gave Peanut the space he needed and waited for the dog to come around. Any other approach would probably have heightened Peanut's stress. Ron is patient. He also doesn't rely on a cage, another reason we picked him. Hoping for future visits. ”
About: I have dogs, puppies, kittens experience since 9 years old. I'm a very loving, protective, clean sitter. You can trust me in any situation.

“James was amazing with Nikko, he care for him 5 days a week for 2 weeks while I was at work, he would send updates with pictures throughout the day which I appreciated. Definitely will book James again.”
“Chris was very responsive and easy to work with. He took great care of our new puppy when we needed someone to watch him during the day. We will definitely continue to use Chris in the future!”
About: I have had dogs almost all my life. From as early as I can remember I have enjoyed the character of dogs and how they interact with the world around them. Curious, loving, direct, playful, and led by natural instincts. I am a certified professional dog groomer that also offers these additional services to include well rounded pet care. I currently do work at home and can be pretty flexible with scheduling. I can take new appointments within a day or two. I prefer three days notice to cancel but handle all situations case by case. When caring for a beloved four-legged fur baby I treat them with the love I show my own pet companion with kindness, love, compassion, and comfort. I typically allow pets on my furniture and interact with them throughout the day. I enjoy walking with and having playtime in the yard or at a nearby dog park. If there is a more structured environment that you prefer with your dog that can almost always be accommodated.
“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.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”

My goal is to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while giving you confidence that they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members!

I have one playful, loving fur baby of my own to keep yours entertained. Can be crated if you prefer while i’m away from home. Will always have the option to water, food, toys, play time/outside time.

About: Hi! I’m Katie, a medical student who recently moved to Kansas City. Between classes and studying, spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats in my home since I was born, so I’m comfortable with everything from cuddles and playtime to litter box maintenance and administering basic care. For the past few years, I’ve also cared for a friend’s dog while he’s away for work as a pilot. Through that experience, I’ve gained consistent experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, attentive, and compassionate. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cozy companion, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already part of my daily life with my own cats, and I regularly care for a friend’s dog. Feeding, walks, and playtime fit easily into my routine. I am a medical student who spends most of my time studying at home or at your home watching your pets! In my home or a client’s, I keep pets on their normal routine with consistent feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love. I make sure dogs get the walks and exercise they need, and cats get attention and comfort while staying in their safe space. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for a decade and love playing and interacting with them. I try to make a comfortable environment for them to live safely and happily. I’m a teacher on summer break who loves staying home with my own dog and cats and happy to help take care of yours when you need it! Fenced yard was the first addition we made when moving in because I know how important it is for dogs to get some unrestrained outdoor time. Plenty of rooms and lounging spots. My pets can be secluded if needed for a stress-free stay. My partner occasionally works from home and loves dogs as well so your pet will have a bonus person to play with :)
“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
“I have been so pleased with Kodiak walking my dog on a regular basis. I get great feedback and pictures of of Barbie out on her walk. It’s been a relief to find someone so responsible and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Kodiak to anyone who needs a trusted dog walker or sitter!”
About: I grew up in a cat and dog household. My parents over the years have had four dogs. Ranging from pit mixes to labs. I often times pet sit for my friends whenever they go out of town. I have three of my own cats. My oldest cat is a senior at 16 years, my second is five years old, and my youngest is a seventh month old kitten. My cats have their own dietary restrictions so I understand the importance of respecting a strict pet diet. I often times pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights with their dogs. I live in the river market area and typically take my friends dogs out for walks at the riverfront. I am able to do overnights. I am unable to house any pets in my apartment. However, I can spend as much time with your fur babies in your home! I have my phone on me at all times for open communication and plenty of photos of your pup or kitty!
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Taylor! We were a bit nervous at first since Steven has only ever stayed with one other person before, but Taylor immediately put us at ease. She was so warm, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We loved getting daily updates and pictures—it was obvious Steven was having a great time. He looked so happy in every photo, and honestly, a little sad when it was time for him to go! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’d absolutely book with Taylor again.”
“I love the videos and pictures and constant updates daily. My boys love swimming and they were able to swim almost every day. Another great boarding experience!”
“Susan was great! She was very easy to communicate with, kept me updated on my dog with photos every day, and made a pleasant, comfortable home experience for my dog while we were on holiday!”
“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.”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Cici! We needed a sitter on very short notice while we were out of town for our wedding weekend, and she was so kind and accommodating. She took excellent care of Cici and kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her kids were also so sweet and gentle with Cici, and it was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I'm comfortable reinforcing training, maintaining established routines, and caring for dogs with special needs, including administering insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, and following detailed treatment schedules. I work evening shifts, so my schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care before heading to work. Before I leave, they'll have plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and attention, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to cuddles, walks, and quality time. My evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so dogs are never left alone for extended periods. I live in a large, spacious apartment in a very dog-friendly community right next to a large park, so there will be no shortage of walks, fresh air, and new things to explore. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my daily routine. I work evening shifts, so I have most of the day to focus on walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your dog plenty of love and attention before I head to work. My shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to quality time together. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already part of my day. Living next to a large park makes it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing by my side, I'll tailor their care to their personality and routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and at home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's habits, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and settle in. I provide a clean, safe, and secure environment where dogs receive lots of attention, structure, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly community right next to a large park, and all walks are conducted on leash. I closely supervise pets during playtime, walks, feeding, and any interactions to ensure they're safe and comfortable. When I'm working, my evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so before I leave your dog will have plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a chance to settle in for some downtime. As soon as I'm home, they're my priority again with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Christine and her boys made Max feel very comfortable. Her boys were very attentive and loved taking him on walks. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“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).”
About: I was raised taking care of cats and dogs from the time I could walk. I recently moved to the area and I would love to spend some time with your animal. I currently work an 8-4 maybe a little longer on some days, so I would be able to stop in after I get home at four or anytime on the weekend! I will be able to come over for drop in visits and give your pets a potty break and some attention or anything that’s you need to make yourself and your animals more comfortable!
“Nelson stayed with Noreen over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She sent pictures of him in the morning, afternoons, and evening each day of his stay. She was very communicative and I didn't have to wonder how he was doing. Noreen was very accommodating to Nelson's diet. He stayed with two of his toys, his special food bowl, treats, and leashes. Noreen had a bed for him to sleep on and water bowls. Pictures showed Nelson enjoying being out in their backyard, going for walks, and playing with the other dogs. It appears he had a great time and I am very grateful that he got to stay with such a nice family over the holiday weekend. I had booked his stay on short notice because it had slipped my mind in preparation for my upcoming trip. All of the local kennels for boarding were booked. Noreen made it very easy for me to book his stay. It was very much appreciated. I highly recommend using her services and would definitely book again.”
“It's always a little scary to leave your pet with someone you don't know that well. But I can assure you that Lindsey and her husband are pet lovers who will treat your baby just like their own. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. In fact, I will most likely plan my next trip around her availability! :-) She and her husband are fabulous.”
“Madilynn does great with my puppy! I get updates while he’s there and he always comes home tired. I have a high energy puppy and she must have the endless patience with him.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish! I was a little nervous dropping off our 8 month old Siberian Husky because it was our first time sending him off for boarding while we went away on vacation. Heck, it was our first time separated from him for any amount of time lol. Kristina had excellent communication from the first time I reached out and really put my mind at ease while we chatted as I dropped off our pup. She sent daily updates, either texts or pics, or both, and was quick to respond anytime I reached out. Our pup loved it there and even be-friended her German Shepherd. I can tell he misses his new buddy too by his body language after picking him up lol. He's happy to be home, but definitely bummed to part ways with his new BFF. Will absolutely make plans for Odin to stay with Kristina anytime we need boarding in the future.”
“Ashley was great with Penelope! She sent photos regularly and kept me updated on her activity throughout the week. I will use her again - Penelope enjoyed her stay and having another dog to play with.”
“I could have not asked for a better Rover experience. Shannon took care of our dog like one of her own. We received frequent updates & knew that our girl was getting the best care which allowed us to travel worry free. We would definitely return”
“Great experience and a wonderful family. They loved our dog like he was their own. From the pictures they sent us, Sarge looked like he was living his best life while we were gone. Definitely a 5 star stay.”
“We reached out to Deanna very last minute to watch our dog for a weekend and she was quick to respond. She took such good care of Rooster and sent lovely pictures. I will definitely use her again for any future boarding.”
“Laurie was great. Flexible and kind. Drop off and pick up went smooth and the communication during the sit, was great. I would use Laurie’s services every time to watch Bella. In the future. Thank you Laurie. Thank’s for taking care of my Girl!!!”
