“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”
“Sharon and Mike are amazing sitters. We left Zoe (our very nervous Cockapoo) with them for a weekend while we were in town, so we would be close by in case she got herself too worked up. Sharon and Mike loved and cuddled her the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, she was happy and calm! Thank you Sharon and Mike! We will be booking with you again!”
“Kathleen made an instant connection with our 13 year old diabetic and nearly completely blind Brittney Spaniel. This was our first time leaving her with anyone outside of family and it was obvious from the photos that she was immediately comfortable and happy at Kathleen’s home. Would definitely use her again a d recommend her to anyone who is in need of boarding and may be a little hesitant. She has a very gentle soul that dogs resinate with.”
“Stevie was great! She worked with our schedule for dropping off and picking up. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our furry family member was in good hands.”
“Bridget loves her doggie customers! She is cheerful and pleasant and detail oriented. She will keep you totally informed about your dog’s activities and their stay at her house. Our Samantha is an extremely old dog who has several needs. Bridget met everyone of them with a high degree of excellence. We totally recommend her to you. You will have no need to worry about the care your pet will receive. She’s great!”
“Our little pup loved her stay here! MacKenzie sent lots of pictures and we loved seeing our pup play with all the other dogs. We will definitely book again with her.”
“Our for babies are always excited to see l Naji and love how she spoils them so much! This time one of our dogs needed medication during his day which is always hard to leave them when they're not feeling 100% but as always Naji was able to help us out and is always great about sending updates with pictures and videos.”
“Chloe and Collin were recommended to me, and I’m very grateful for their hospitality. They extended Tucker’s stay for us due to an unforeseen circumstance, which we appreciate immensely.”
“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”
“Daine and Ashley are a blessing for me and my dog beauty, I can never say enough about how grateful I am to have found them…Anyone looking for an Awesome family oriented dog loving home, this is definitely the place. 😇🙏❤️”
“Daisy had a great time staying with Brittany, Max and their family. It’s obvious they love dogs and know how to welcome new pets to their home. Loved getting pics everyday too. Much thanks!”
“Nicole was great! Super responsive, even on short notice, as we had just learned about Rover.com. We were able to set up our booking & begin it within a few hours. Received pictures & reassuring texts from Nicole periodically through the entire booking. Will definitely use her in the future!”
“She always takes great care of my fur baby! Her and her family are wonderful. She keeps me updated, and I know my pup feels right at home with her and her family! Ms. Derrika is the best!”
“This was our first time boarding with Michael and Danielle. They were very easy to work with. I received photos throughout my dog’s stay. They took great care of Toby and I felt like he was safe. Michael was very honest with me when I asked about some behaviors. I really appreciated that! We usually take Toby with us when we travel, but on the occasions we do not take him, I will definitely be sending Toby to Michael and Danielle for care. Thank you so much!”
“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Lindsey is AMAZING! She kept our 1 year old puppy while we were on vacation. It was our first time as puppy parents that we had left our dog, and we were understandably anxious about being away from her. Lindsey put us at ease. She cared for our dog as if she were her own and kept us consistently updated with photos and messages. Our dog was able to play and interact with Lindsey’s dogs, which our dog thoroughly enjoyed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog or for us. Knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away helped to ease our anxiety and allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be seeking her out anytime I need a dog sitter in the future. She is a true dog lover and is absolutely wonderful.”
“Los mejores cuidadores para mi doki. Son una familia HERMOSA y todos son amantes de los animales. Es la primera vez que dejo a mi doki con una persona en estados unidos y ha sido la mejor experiencia. Fue una petición bastante express y hubo receptividad inmediata. Maggie(su perrita amiga) le prestó su cama a mi pequeño. Los recomiendo, habrá muchas opciones pero esta familia ES LA OPCIÓN que debes de escoger siempre. Muchas fotos me enviaron y todo su alimento y medicina fue dado exactamente como se pidió. Gracias Cassie,Ben, familia entera y también a Maggie, la mejor anfitriona. Los vemos pronto, Dios me los bendiga siempre.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care.

I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!

“Katie is our go-to cat caregiver. She is reliable, on-time for every feeding, and kind to our cats. They love her. We know they all are in good hands. She can also give our diabetic senior cat his insulin shots, which is very important to his health. We highly recommend her services and will always contact her first if we leave town.”
“Anthony provided detailed excellent care of our three cats. When we walked into the house they greeted us and wanted to play -- as they had with Anthony. We highly recommend Anthony for any animal care. He is compassionate, detailed and is a welcome change to the care standard of most caregivers. If we have future needs, we will seek Anthony again!! Thank you so much~!!”
“Thank you so much Tiffany!! Sorry my cats are scaredy cats, but I'll work on that for future visits. Tiffany does great job looking after my kitties. Loved the pictures.”
“Kathleen went above and beyond to make sure she gave my cat his injections. He was difficult but she was a trooper and got the job done. I very much appreciate all her hard work. I would highly recommend her.”
“Watched my two cats for three days while I was on vacation. They’re usually pretty shy with new people but they loved her! Will definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future.”
“Kate was FANTASTIC!! She kept me up to date about my cats, sent photos of them and most importantly my cats absolutely loved her. I definitely will be using her again when I travel next.”
“Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my cat Opie. He's a pandemic baby and I work remotely, so he is used to someone being around most of the time, he's spoiled and requires spoiling. Jessica stayed at my apartment with Opie, communicated with me, sent me pictures. She also went above and beyond, she stripped the bed, washed the sheets, took my regular trash and Opie's litter box trash to the dumpster, none of which did I ask her to do. I was very happy and lucky to have someone who cared that much.”
“Draven was fantastic with our Goldendoodle during her drop-in visits. Her communication was on point, and she even noticed that we had accidentally locked our cat in the bedroom. Thankfully, she let him out and made sure everything was okay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our sweet boy. Highly recommend Draven to anyone needing drop-in care for their pets!”
“Gabby took such good care of my three cats while I was gone. They were comfortable and happy. Well, except for Boo, who is never happy. 😂 I will definitely call her again. She is a treasure!”
About: I’ve done overnight pet and house sitting for several years and different clients, as well as drop/in visits to feed, care, and keep pets company while owners are away. I work a full time day job during the week and am free most evenings and weekends. I work my day job the first Saturday of every month. I have a fenced in yard and have experience with crated and non-crated situations. The physical and emotional wellbeing of your pet is of the utmost importance.
About: I've grew up with cats when I was a kid, and currently have one male tabby! I have pet sit cats before and scoop boxes on a regular basis (1-2 times a day) and check food and water consistently. I love cats and absolutely love to play with them, but also know how timid some can be to new people and can fully respect their space! I will love your cats like they are my own babies and make sure they are well loved and comfortable while you're gone :)
“Rachel did a great job checking in on my cat every day while I was out of town. She fed her and cleaned her litter box. She took the time to let my cat get to know her. It really helped my cat with the stress. Gave her 5 stars. Highly recommend her!”
About: Experience caring for all creatures from livestock to small animals. I love all animals, and I am happy to make their routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to walk and play outside as well as stay in and snuggle on the couch. What ever your pets need, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible for your fur kids! I am more than happy to send updates and photos as often as you would like, I know how great it can be to see them when you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am currently working remote Tuesday through Friday and have the ability to complete dog-walks or drop in visits for all species during those days. I always strive to make pets feel as comfortable as possible during our interactions, and stick to their routines as much as possible. From crate training to play time my goal is to have pets enjoy their time spent with me.
“McKenzie is always there when we need her, even when things come up unexpectedly, like our flight getting cancelled the night we were supposed to be home. She takes such good care of our girl and gives us peace of mind. We always know she is in great hands. Thank you for being so wonderful, McKenzie!”

“Dash has been going to Kathleen for a week now & he loves her! She is very responsive, and very sweet. She sends me pics throughout the day, and I love that she takes him out for walks and play time. We will continue to book with her 😊”
“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”

About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.
About: I've had hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, administering basic care, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I'm committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. Because I currently care for my three cats every day, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My cats' care does not limit my availability. I simply schedule my day around their needs, allowing me to provide reliable and dependable care for your pets as well. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a walk, or extended care, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and care that I give my own pets. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe in providing a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: Moonbabies Little Lodge offers boutique home boarding designed especially for small dogs who enjoy a calm household environment. Your dog will stay in a cozy home setting with a small resident pack of friendly toy-breed dogs and plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in our secure backyard play yard. Our yard features enrichment areas just for small dogs, including ramps, tunnels, lounging spots, and shaded cabana areas where pups can relax between play sessions. In warm weather we even bring out a splash pad for dogs who enjoy cooling off. Inside the home, dogs are part of the family during the day and sleep comfortably in their own individual night pens with beds and toys for a peaceful evening routine. Because this is a small home environment, we typically host only 2–3 guest dogs at a time, allowing us to give each dog plenty of attention and supervision. This setup works best for dogs who: • are under about 20 lbs • are comfortable around other small dogs • are house trained • can relax calmly in a pen or crate if needed A meet-and-greet is required before first bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. We look forward to welcoming your pup to Moonbabies Little Lodge — where little dogs have big fun. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life! Guest dogs join our calm daily small-dog household routine with supervised backyard playtime, indoor relaxation, naps, cuddles, and social interaction throughout the day. I keep my guest list intentionally small so each dog receives close supervision and personal attention in a comfortable home environment. Moonbabies Little Lodge is designed specifically for friendly small dogs. Dogs enjoy supervised play in a secure fenced backyard and are introduced gradually to maintain a calm group dynamic. Guest dogs are monitored closely and separated if needed for rest, meals, or quiet time. Overnight, dogs sleep safely in cozy individual pens with their own bedding, food, and water.

About: I’ve owned many pets, cats and dogs included. I currently own dogs, and I spend most of my day, everyday, with them. They’re my people. I am 20 years old and currently doing Rover full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. They will receive my undivided attention with playtime and walks included if needed! I have a large home with a large privacy fenced yard. I also have several crates, or you can bring your own if you like. I have ample food in case you forget to bring your own.

About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.

“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”
About: I've been pet sitting for about three years now and animals are my whole life. I love big dogs and grew up constantly around Great Danes and Mastiffs. I've also raised three puppies over the years and been involved in basic care, walking, playing, and potty training. I'm getting certified in dog grooming starting in August, so I'm available for a large amount of time over the summer! Currently, I'm looking to pet sit full time! I am available on almost any day of the week (and weekend!) and can come at any time needed during this summer. I will always make sure your fur babies are fed, have water at all times, get any specific meds (if needed), are played with as much as possible, and are plenty loved! I will treat your animals as if they were my own, making sure they are consistently happy and healthy. I also strive to make your return back home as stress-free as possible and often vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up before leaving!
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have walked. watched and bathed many pets (especially dogs) for people over the years. I really love animals so much so I am going into veterinary school. I have helped raise puppies so I know how to deal with the little ones and I right now I have a 13 year old dog so I know how to take care of the seniors. I am currently going to school in the mornings so I have lots of free afternoons to walk pups! Right now I am only offering walks as I have a senior dog at home who gets nervous around canine company. This could be subject to change depending on the situation, so you can always ask! I am only offering walks right now. I love all dogs and will always make sure your pup is having fun, getting some good exercise and staying hydrated!
“Heidi was so fantastic! After I had surgery I needed a lot of help with my Shih Tzu and she was there at a moment's notice for any and every need Spanky and I had. I could tell she really cared about him and was very gentle with him. I would highly recommend her!”
“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”

I do work part time 9-1:30 M-F during the school year, I’m off during the summer, but will be able to take care of your pet before work and then after and through the night.

Then I would go to work till 12:30/1:30, go back to your house and repeat the morning routine unless your pet does not eat again in the afternoon, play and cuddle as much as your pet wants.

About: I love animals - cats, dogs, and more! I've taken care of them all my life. Some call me a "cat whisperer" and dogs love me too. 🐾 I am energetic and fun, love going for walks and hikes and playing fetch. We have a dog at home - Jack, a pit-lab mix, who gets along with other dogs and 3 children ages 3-13, so friendly and social dogs only please. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time for walks and playdates. Most days work just fine for me for walks and boarding. I have a fenced in yard with ample space to play. I have 1 dog and 3 animal-loving children, so your doggo won't ever feel lonely. I love to give treats, go on walks and play. Comfortable crating.
About: Hello there! I'm so glad you found my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who has been drawing horses since I could hold a crayon, and I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. We had rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, cats, dogs, and horses at various times while I was growing up, and my childhood dream was to have lots of cats and lots of horses some day. Well I currently have 3 cats and 1 horse, so that's something! Haha. We also have two ducks and are planning to get more shortly. We've had as many as 5 at a time in the past. I've had pets of my own since my college days, and not surprisingly after having so many animals in my life, I ended up getting my degree in Animal Science! I also volunteered at the local Humane Society walking dogs while in college, and cared for pigs, poultry, horses, cows, and more rodents throughout my education. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel for a time after college. These days my animal care is mostly directed at my own pets, but you can never have enough animals in your life in my opinion, and so here I am, ready to spoil your fur babies for you if you need! I currently work from home 3 days a week and am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule during those days as well. That means I can take the time now and then to drop in and check on your pets for you if you need some extra help while you're away! Whenever I drop-in on your pets, I will stick to the routines you already have established for them at home to minimize any stress, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone! But I will also definitely take the time to give them plenty of pets and play-time too, if that's something they would love! ^_^
About: Taking care of people’s pets is my passion, and I have over fifteen years experience caring for them as a vet technician, animal care technician at several different boarding facilities, and as an animal shelter volunteer. I provide attentive, professional care with a genuine love for every dog I meet. I don’t just “watch” pets—I learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Over the course of my professional career I have worked with every type of breed and personality under the sun, from high-energy puppies to scared of their own shadow rescues to “just want a nice quiet place to lay down” senior dogs, I’m confident in reading behavior, maintaining structure, and responding calmly in any situation. I have yet to encounter a pet who hasn’t warmed up to me within a few hours, or wasn’t excited to come back to stay again. Pets under my care are treated with patience, affection, and respect—like family, not a booking! Unlike traditional boarding, I do not use kennels, unless they are necessary and that is communicated to me by the owner because of potty training and/or destructive behaviors. I have got dog beds for every shape and size, although most are more comfortable on the coach with me or in my bed at night. And, of course, there is no extra charge for playtime or extra treats! My family are all pet lovers here as well, so my husband and kids love having extra dogs around to spoil with treats, walks around our subdivision up to the pond, couch snuggles, and endless playtime in our large fenced in backyard. I never watch more than four at a time, to make sure every one of them gets plenty of attention. I am currently working on obtaining my Masters degree, primarily online, so I am home with the pets I “board” the majority of the day. I currently work from home 20 hours a week medical billing and coding and doing online program for my masters. My schedule is very flexible and I am at home pretty much 24/7. I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well, unless the owner says to discourage. I do not kennel dogs unless owner provides kennel and instructs me to use it for crate training/destructive behaviors.
About: Pets have been a part of my life my whole life. I've owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and ferrets. In high school I spent all my extra time volunteering at Kansas City Ferret Rescue. We even ran some of the shelter out of our house for a while. Currently I own 2 pit bulls and boy do I love my bully breeds. I have Marvel who is 11 and hes my gentle giant. We adopted his mother and had her her whole life and kept him from a litter of puppies she had. We've been together since birth. I also have Alice and she is getting ready to turn 5, we adopted her at 8 weeks old from a neighbor. She's super energetic. I have LOTS of training in taking care of puppies. I also own a 13 year old black Maine coon cat. I adopted him from wayside waifs when he was a tiny 8 week old kitten. My pets are very loved and yours will be also! We will have lots of fun playing with toys, going on walks and all the belly rubs. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies while your away. There will be no hurry in my visits. I currently walk my dogs everyday. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. We also play ball and Frisbee in our backyard. I will try to keep your pets schedule as close as I can to their current schedule with you.
About: I’m extremely patient and caring with each dog or other pets I take care of. I’ve helped friends & family over the years with their own! Pets are an important part of the family and should be treated as such. I work part time currently so my schedule is very flexible and negotiable to spend time with your pets. I make sure to prioritize care so you can rest assured your pups are getting all the love and care they need! I always talk with whoever pets I’m taking care of about their routines at home and what is the environment their most comfortable with. Even with fenced in yards I’ll stand outside and make sure everything is ok while also giving dogs company.
“Mackenzie is one of pepper’s favorite people and for good reason. She is so thoughtful by bringing food treats and water and making sure she has plenty of time to smell around and also get some miles in.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs/cats for families/ people for about 6 years!! Looking to meet and take care of some new furry friends!! I work a full-time job currently. I would be able to take of your animals on the weekends if you are going a vacation or just need some time away from the house!! I have grown up with animals my whole life so making sure that they are well taken care of is number one priority! Also building trust with a new animal is important too!
About: Experience caring for all creatures from livestock to small animals. I love all animals, and I am happy to make their routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to walk and play outside as well as stay in and snuggle on the couch. What ever your pets need, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible for your fur kids! I am more than happy to send updates and photos as often as you would like, I know how great it can be to see them when you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am currently working remote Tuesday through Friday and have the ability to complete dog-walks or drop in visits for all species during those days. I always strive to make pets feel as comfortable as possible during our interactions, and stick to their routines as much as possible. From crate training to play time my goal is to have pets enjoy their time spent with me.

This time one of our dogs needed medication during his day which is always hard to leave them when they're not feeling 100% but as always Naji was able to help us out and is always great about sending updates with pictures and videos.”
“Chloe and Collin were recommended to me, and I’m very grateful for their hospitality. They extended Tucker’s stay for us due to an unforeseen circumstance, which we appreciate immensely.”
“Nicole was great! Super responsive, even on short notice, as we had just learned about Rover.com. We were able to set up our booking & begin it within a few hours. Received pictures & reassuring texts from Nicole periodically through the entire booking. Will definitely use her in the future!”
“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Lindsey is AMAZING! She kept our 1 year old puppy while we were on vacation. It was our first time as puppy parents that we had left our dog, and we were understandably anxious about being away from her. Lindsey put us at ease. She cared for our dog as if she were her own and kept us consistently updated with photos and messages. Our dog was able to play and interact with Lindsey’s dogs, which our dog thoroughly enjoyed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog or for us. Knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away helped to ease our anxiety and allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be seeking her out anytime I need a dog sitter in the future. She is a true dog lover and is absolutely wonderful.”
“Los mejores cuidadores para mi doki. Son una familia HERMOSA y todos son amantes de los animales. Es la primera vez que dejo a mi doki con una persona en estados unidos y ha sido la mejor experiencia. Fue una petición bastante express y hubo receptividad inmediata. Maggie(su perrita amiga) le prestó su cama a mi pequeño. Los recomiendo, habrá muchas opciones pero esta familia ES LA OPCIÓN que debes de escoger siempre. Muchas fotos me enviaron y todo su alimento y medicina fue dado exactamente como se pidió. Gracias Cassie,Ben, familia entera y también a Maggie, la mejor anfitriona. Los vemos pronto, Dios me los bendiga siempre.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Franklin loved it - so much, that he took a second to decide whether he wanted to stay or go home with me! ? Carly was responsive, sent pics & was flexible on hours, etc. Great experience!”
“This was our first time ever leaving our dog with someone. Actually, it was his first time staying with anyone at all, so we were very anxious and worried about him—we really care about him like our own child. That’s why it was so important for us to find someone responsible. When I saw Olga’s profile and read her reviews, I immediately felt like she was the right person for us. They are very friendly and gave us such a warm welcome. She did everything to help Tyson feel comfortable, especially since he was very nervous at first. Olga always kept us updated, sent photos, and responded to my messages every time. I’m truly very grateful to her for taking such great care of Tyson. We will definitely be reaching out again.”
“Paula is the best!! She made our older cat feel so comfortable and sent us pics and videos of her everyday. It’s clear how much Paula loves animals and it gave us so much peace knowing our cat was well cared for.”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“Shannon is excellent at communication! She sent lots of pictures of my pup having a blast at her house (daily walks, playing ball, etc.). She loves dogs and genuinely enjoys taking care of them. I would definitely let her watch my dog again in the future.”
