“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“Reba is wonderful! She took amazing care of my girl, Penny. Penny has a bunch of quirks that don’t make it easy to care for her but I knew she was in wonderful hands with Reba. I highly recommend her!!”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Mary did a great job with Hudson! He is shy at first but warmed up to her really nicely! She is always very responsive and accommodating. Will be contacting Mary in the future when we need more help with him!”
“Axel came back happy and healthy at the end of his stay. Ben was quick and easy to communicate with. I would definitely use Ben again for future boardings.”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“If you want your pet to be spoiled and catered to while you’re away, I highly recommend Nana! She was fantastic with providing care and updates.”
About: I've spent much of my life living with and caring for dogs--from growing up with dogs throughout childhood, to helping care for dogs as an adult, to having Spencer, my most recent dog. I don't currently have pets of my own, which means visiting dogs get my full attention and don't have to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. I genuinely miss having a dog around! I work from home and love the idea of giving someone's dog a cozy, low-stress place to stay while their humans are away. I intentionally accept dogs from only one household at a time, so I'm able to get to know their routine, personality, and quirks and make sure they get lots of individual attention. I have a dog door that suits a large dog and a fenced-in backyard in beautiful Southwest Garden, across from The Hill. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and am happy to care for senior dogs. I'm currently focusing on friendly, reliably housetrained adult small and medium dogs that I can comfortably handle on leash. I prefer a meet-and-greet before a first stay so that both the dog and I can ensure we're comfortable together. And I love sending photos and updates! Getting pictures of Spencer when I traveled always made me happy, so I'm delighted to do the same for you. I work from home Monday through Friday from 9am-6pm, so I’m home much of the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of attention into my routine. I live on a quiet, tree-lined street with sidewalks and no through traffic, just ten houses from Sublette Park. I love walking the perimeter of the park, so dogs who enjoy walks will have plenty of opportunities to get out and "sniff the puppy newspaper." I’m happy to take dogs for several walks a day depending on their normal routine and energy level. I do leave the house for errands and activities, so dogs should be comfortable relaxing at home alone for a few hours at a time. I have a quiet, dog-friendly home with no resident pets, and I only host dogs from one household at a time. I have a large, fully fenced privacy backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, plus a dog door that can be closed and locked when needed. Dogs are welcome to relax on my large couch, which is always covered with waterproof pet blankets. At night, dogs can sleep in their own crate in my downstairs den, on the couch, or--if they’re well behaved without a crate--on a dog bed in my bedroom. I don’t provide a crate, so owners should bring one if their dog needs it. I prefer to meet new dogs before their first stay so I can learn their routine and make sure I can handle them comfortably and safely. I’m currently best suited for friendly, reliably housetrained adult dogs who aren’t strong pullers, destructive chewers, or determined escape artists.
“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“Kelsey and Boen were awesome! They were super easy to work with and we trusted them fully. They provided pictures and updates. They were very responsive and flexible. We’d gladly book them again for future visits!!”
“Leslie is our go-to dog sitter! She always makes sure our little fur baby is well cared for, and she always goes the extra mile to make her comfortable. We get lots of photos, so we always know what’s happening and feel confident that our doggie is in excellent hands.”
“Our dog had a great time with Julia. When we picked her up she was super happy and tuckered out from playing. Julia was easy to communicate with for planning drop off and pick up. She has a very welcoming home and a HUGE yard for the dogs to play in. Would recommend her without a doubt.”
About: In addition to dog sitting and cat sitting for my family and friends, I have experience with taking care of birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even fish. I’m here to have a relaxing day staying in or going for a run or walk to enjoy the sunshine. We can go for a game of tug of war in the yard! On the weekends (saturday & sunday), I have the most time and can dedicate the whole day to your furbaby. On the weekdays, after 4pm I can dedicate my time to enriching and providing pet care. I have a fenced in back yard, both my neighbors have dogs but we are respectful and understanding of each furbaby’s personality and try to make necessary boundaries. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I have teo large crates if time alone is needed.
“Lesley was great! My dogs loved playing with her dogs while they stayed in her home. She was responsive, accommodating, and responsible. I would recommend booking with her!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Dustin and Margaret to watch Louie for an extended trip and continue to be very happy to work with them. They take great care of Louie and keep us updated regularly.”

“Debbie is a wonderful pet sitter and was willing to help out with my two stressed and shy kitties. She made sure all the essentials were taken care of and always provides detailed updates and photos.”
“Thank you again Harper, I’m always very happy with you’re reliability and Lucy and Apollo were very happy when I got back, and always appreciate the pictures while we were gone, gives great peace of mind!”
“Really sweet and easy to work with! I have four large pups and she did well with them. I will book with her again in the future ! Thanks so much for caring for my babies !”
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
“This was our first time working with Caroline. What a pleasure! Easy, to the point, great communication and care of Stella. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind she is in good hands. I definitely recommend her!”
“Reba went above and beyond to take care of my kitty over the holidays. She sent photos and updates every day, and I felt totally at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Reba more highly and look forward to booking her again!”
“TzuYu was the BEST cat sitter I could have asked for my ragdoll, Felix! She came to meet him because he is a rather shy cat, and she gained his trust over the week. She was very diligent sending pictures/videos, spending time with Felix and really getting to know him. She made me feel very comfortable about using the app. I strongly recommend having her watch your pets and/or your special felines!!”
“Natalee was an exceptional sitter for our cat Sally. She was communicative, kind and attentive. I will definitely be using her services again, and was one of the best sitters we have had since using the Rover services 5 years ago.”
“Sweet and agreeable, Kai is a pretty good young sitter. There were some discrepancies in rates and time lengths spent on a few of the visits, and we had some worries about my newer rescue's resistant responses. But all went well for the most part and i would recommend Kai to others.”
“Madeleine is wonderful! I was so nervous to use a new cat sitter after moving, but she was exactly what I was seeking. I am so grateful, she took great care of my cat for a few weekends. She’s prompt, responsive, and gave me awesome updates :)”
“Olivia did a great job of checking in on my two cats while we were on a short vacation. She made sure that they were happy and sent us lots of cute pictures of them!”
“Jenn took great care of my cat over the holidays, sent me very cute videos of her, and even dealt with my landlords changing my locks with less than 24 hours notice right at the beginning of the stay!”
“Hope did a wonderful job checking in on my Marca. Sent a bunch of pictures for me and communicated clearly what she did while at my place. Would book again!”
About: I have several years of prior veterinary technician experience, and have worked with and/or pet sit cats of all kinds with many different needs. I have a very nurturing nature and am passionate about providing care for animals of all kind, which led me to pursue a PhD in Biology ( I study animal behavior.) 😊
“I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great hands with Katie! This is the second time she has house and pet sit and I’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“Hayle was awesome while we were away! One of our cats is very skittish which makes feedings difficult when she hides under the couch and refuses to eat when guests come over. Hayle was able to get her to eat every meal which deserves an A+ in my book. She kept in contact about our cats while we were away to provide a little more reassurance as well. She was very nice and attentive at our meet-and-greet too! All in all, I would highly recommend Hayle to come and watch your pets.”

“Isa took such great care of our puppy! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my puppy with a sitter instead of a doggy daycare. Isa answered all of my questions about the process and gave me the chance to come meet her first. She was also very flexible as I had to book it sort of last minute and didn't have an exact time of when we would be picking up our puppy. Also our puppy was still finishing recovery from a recent surgery, and Isa was very understanding of this and made sure he got enough Rex. I really appreciated Isa's updates and pictures throughout the day, and I know our puppy had a lot of fun as he was very tired when he got home! Thank you again Isa, we will definitely bring our puppy back in the future!”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“Jessica watched our Shih Tzu all day while we went to Our son’s law school graduation. It was first time leaving her with sitter all day. Jessica sent lots of pictures and text updates with really eased my mind a lot!! I would definitely book her again when I return to St Louis !”
“Sarah is a great sitter! We initially booked her for boarding and added on day care so our puppy had a chance to get to know Sarah and her son before our trip. She is very flexible and communicative. We have our boarding scheduled soon and will continue to use Sarah in the future!”

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Nicole and tim sent great pictures in the video. They agreed to help out very last minute. And had an adorable house and yard for josie to hang out in.”
“Ruthie was very accommodating to our hectic schedule while in town and was very patient with our 5 month old pup! We appreciated her kindness and communication. Would definitely highly recommend Ruthie’s services!”
“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”
About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!
“Hallie took care of my doggo one day while it stormed really bad and there were tornado touchdowns close and she was great about keeping me up to date on how he was doing and that they were safe.”
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
“Ms Sarah is the best ever! She is so calm and patient and a joy to communicate with. My pup Rocky ADORES her. It is often mentioned in the comments but she really does take the BEST photos. She’s got fans for life in me and Rocky”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, whether they were mine or those of friends. I’ve had dogs for many years, and they have been my best buddies! I adopted Stanley last September from Have a Heart Rescue. Stanley is very playful and loves to play with other dogs. He is only 17 pounds and full of energy and loads of love. He enjoys “walking” other dogs if he can get ahold of their leashes and loves to do zoomies in the yard and play tag with other dogs. As he is a small pup, I would prefer to only watch dogs up to 40 pounds and must be socialized with other dogs and people. As I am retired now, I would love to start dog sitting in my home and would be open to doggy daycare. I am rarely away from the house for more than two hours at a time. I have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. Dogs have always been allowed on the chairs, sofas and on the bed. Who wants to sleep on the floor? I have been unofficially dog sitting for almost 40 years, and have recently started dog sitting for pay. I believe it is a good idea for the dogs and owners to have a meet-and-greet as it’s a great way to make sure we’re all a good fit and gives us the opportunity to meet and talk about our expectations. As a dog owner, I know how difficult it can be to be away from your little buddies, so I’m here to make that separation as easy as possible. When your pup stays with me, I’m always happy to send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away rest assured that your pup is happy and healthy, and to see just how much fun we’re having. I would be happy to provide references upon request and discuss pricing and any questions you may have by phone or direct messaging. I live in the Maplewood area and I’m looking forward to hearing from you and seeing if my home is the right fit for your beloved pup. I am retired, and I have all the time needed to take care of your dog. I am home most days and I'm generally only gone for a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard and a playful dog who will be happy to keep your dog company while you are away. They will be treated as my own.
“This was our first experience using a doggie sitter from Rover but definitely won’t be our last. Brian was wonderful! He was extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule and took such great care of Sparky and Crouton! Loved all the pictures he sent!”
“We have been sending Ellie to daycare with Jordan since July 9th and we have had a wonderful experience! We know that she is safe and happy at Jordan’s. He takes her for walks and she enjoys them a lot! He was kind enough to give her a bath when we couldn’t manage to during a really busy week. Very flexible with timings too. We highly recommend Jordan!”
“Cliff was an absolute ANGEL! So prompt on his responses, and helped us out last minute. He was above and beyond communicative and overall so lovely. Highly recommend!! 💕”

“Molly was super communicative and flexible. I was out of town and my sister ended up giving birth a few weeks early and our dogs who were left alone for quite a few hours while my sister and brother-in-law were at the hospital. I ended up booking Molly day and she help coordinate walking times for the both of them and then even spend some time hanging out with them in the house due to the hot weather it was such a relief having Molly step in and help us during such a stressful and unexpected but eventful, and happy time.”
“Laura is very helpful, dependable and thoughtful. Laura has been helping me out while I have been stuck traveling from flight delays....with a couple of extra visits for my pup. I cannot be more grateful to Laura for her extra help at the last minute.”
“Really wonderful experience with Ross. He is prompt and timely, an excellent communicator, and very nice! My dog loved him, I would not hesitate to book him again.”
About: Coming from an animal loving family and already volunteering part time at the Humane Society, I just can’t get enough of walking dogs — especially big ones ! My family’s dog, a total mixed breed that we raised from a puppy, is a modest 80 lbs. Before we got him, I grew up with a border collie and a cattle dog mix, so I deal well with high energy breeds. I’m happy to take them on 2+ mile walks multiple times a day. I have always had dogs, so I have a lifetime of experience raising, training, and taking care of them. I currently work part-time as a French teacher, frequently online, so I have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. Plus, if I am staying long term at your house, my students will love to see your pet pop up on my Zoom video! I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. If you have a pet that just needs feeding and a potty break/litter box scooping, I can provide that. If your pet is a little needier and needs playtime, ear rubs, and someone’s lap to sit on, I’m also eager to provide. I understand that each animal is different.
About: ***Constant care pets will be an extra fee*** Constant care is care in which we cannot leave your pet alone for more than 3 hours. Meet and greets are free unless you need more than one before the stay, then the first meet and greet is free. My expertise is with older dogs, pets with disabilities (such as dementia or seizures), and pets that need medications. I'm also experienced in multi-pet homes where one or more pets are seniors/special needs and other pets are high energy or puppies/kittens. I have experience caring for pets who are recovering from operations as well. If your pet does need Constant care, we can negotiate a price that works for you. I've always had pets. I have always had cats, dogs, guinnea pigs, or ferrets. I'm versed in many kinds of animals and am happy to care additional small animals if needed. Short notice is ok as long as there are at least 2 days between the time I'm asked and the time of the stay so that there's time for a meet and greet. For repeat customers, I accept even same-day requests. I work 8 hours, 4 days a week. Since we do petsitting together, if there is a need for constant care, one of us will always be present in the home with your pet. Safety is my #1 priority when caring for your pets. I make sure to watch pets attentively on walks and in the yard to ensure maximum safety. My services include grabbing mail and packages, watering plants, giving medications as instructed, daily walks as instructed, basic cleaning up after myself and your pets, daily updates and pictures, and following your regular schedule as closely as possible to ensure as seamless a change as possible while you get to experience a worry-free time away.
“Jasmine walked our Roo for a week when our normal walker cancelled. She did a wonderful job. Attentive, reliable, and left great rover cards. Happy to have made connection with Jasmine since she is so good with Roo! ♥️🐾”
“Jenn is amazing! We recently moved to St. Louis and Jenn hopped right in to helping us out with our dog. Jenn is so thorough with pictures and updates. In the past we’ve had dog walkers that don’t actually give our dog a walk and instead do just a pee break but Jenn makes sure our dog gets outside and moves! Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I love dogs in all sizes and have the most experience with chihuahuas from puppies to much older puppies. I love going for walks and going places with doggies but I’m also not opposed to a leisurely stroll or hanging out on the couch! Currently I am waiting to start my full time position so I have lots of availability and can start immediately! I am doing this because I love animals and I need a little extra cash to get me by! I am willing to go for walks and do drop ins. I have recently been house sitting for family members with multiple dogs and I have taken those dogs on walks, to the vet, and even to camp. We play and hang out and I spend the night with them!
“She did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of Boone. He has some special needs and a very specific routine, so I’m always a little cautious about leaving him with someone new. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, paid close attention to the details, and made sure he was well cared for the entire time. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Boone was with someone who took his needs seriously and treated him like her own. Everything was handled exactly the way I asked, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. I would absolutely trust her with Boone again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their dog”
About: I was born and raised in Colorado and recently moved to St. Louis and I’m excited to explore the city while spending time with some amazing pets along the way! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have over 10+ years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I genuinely love working with all kinds of pets, whether it’s taking dogs out for long walks, keeping up with energetic puppies, or spending quiet time with cats and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with dog walking, pet sitting, and cat check-ins, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs. I’m an active person who enjoys being outside, so getting dogs out for exercise is something I really enjoy. At the same time, I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to help care for them and give you peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I have to say though that I cannot walk for an extended period in thunderstorms or freezing/icey temperatures. That's for my safety as well as your dog's. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them
“Communication is key and Jamie is on point with this. He keeps us updated when on walks with Cosmo and we SO appreciate that! We are definitely repeat customers!”
About: I love dogs and cats and have some extra time so I couldn’t think of a better way to fill it. I have previous experience working as a dog walker. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets and feel comfortable with all sizes. I’m always the go to dog sitter for my friends and I really enjoy it. I think it’s really fun to get to know others dog personalities. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I really value good communication and will strive to be as available as I can. I’m super over protective of my pets and will definetly extend that with yours so you can feel comfortable when leaving your met with me. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t get along with! My schedule is lighter this year at work so I can be available evenings, nights and weekends mostly. Can also accommodate early mornings if needed. I have experience with dogs in crates and am comfortable using different ones. I take safety very seriously and would treat your pet as my own.
“I have an older dog with chronic diseases, and Hope has been so great. It is clear she truly cares about her. She has passed on tips from her veterinary ICU experience and has used her own supplies to help her.”
“Jessica has been a wonderful help to us! Our dog is very anxious around new people, and she was so patient when his nerves were showing. You can really tell she adores animals, and we feel confident our guy is safe with her. Jessica was available on short notice, met us beforehand despite a quick turnaround, and has been flexible as our needs change. Highly recommend her!”
“Prompt, reliable, capable and could be a professional pet photographer all describe Hayley. She has been walking my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy for several weeks. She arrives at the requested time, she's patient with my energetic puppy and takes the best pictures (I've posted them on social media and my friends absolutely LOVE her!). She communicates in a timely manner. I work FT and need someone I can depend on to care for my pet, and Hayley has done a fantastic job doing it. Thank you so much.”

“Our dog had a great time with Julia. When we picked her up she was super happy and tuckered out from playing. Julia was easy to communicate with for planning drop off and pick up. She has a very welcoming home and a HUGE yard for the dogs to play in. Would recommend her without a doubt.”
About: In addition to dog sitting and cat sitting for my family and friends, I have experience with taking care of birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even fish. I’m here to have a relaxing day staying in or going for a run or walk to enjoy the sunshine. We can go for a game of tug of war in the yard! On the weekends (saturday & sunday), I have the most time and can dedicate the whole day to your furbaby. On the weekdays, after 4pm I can dedicate my time to enriching and providing pet care. I have a fenced in back yard, both my neighbors have dogs but we are respectful and understanding of each furbaby’s personality and try to make necessary boundaries. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I have teo large crates if time alone is needed.
“Our dog enjoyed her stay at Katie’s! Katie was attentive to her needs and her dog got along great with ours. Katie’s home is cozy and Finley enjoyed the large backyard. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!”
“Loved having Marie and family care for Gracie while out of town. I was sent daily pictures of the kids playing and cuddling with her which she throughly loved the attention.”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“As always, Rachael took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a quick weekend trip. She provided constant updates and was especially great with our dog who is afraid of the dark. We are going to miss having such a great Rover when we move away!”
“We had such a great experience having our dog stay with Christine and David! They communicated with us every day and sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so fun seeing Cuba playing and having such a great time with their dog. It was clear that Cuba was having a blast. You can tell they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like their own. We came home to a very happy pup! We’ll definitely be booking with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter. Thank you so much Christine & David (and Dory!)”
“Our golden doodle, Gus LOVES Sally! She takes such good care of him and all the other dogs that come into her care. She sends us pictures of all the fun he’s having while we are away. Thank you so much, Sally! 💕”
