“Alice has done a great job taking care of my two pups. She was caring and provided us with timely updates, photos, and videos. My wife and I were able to enjoy our time knowing our pups were in good hands. Our dogs seemed happy going for walks and playtime with Alice. I highly recommend her — definitely five stars!”
“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“Ashely was very sweet and with my dog. She send us pictures everyday and give up updates about how our dog is doing. My dog seemed very happy with her and her family. We will definitely go back to her again if we go travel.”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Molly was so wonderful with our dog. She sent us pictures and updates, took her for walks, and kept her cozy for our week away. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“As usual, Vanessa and family are always amazing! She's become my do to dog sitter because she's kind, understands dogs and sends great updates during our pups stay!”
“As a first timer, we were nervous to board our dog, but Gregg eased our concern immediately. Gregg and his family took such good care of our three year old cavapoo, sending photos over the weekend with the most descriptive and caring reports that I could have asked for. We recommend Gregg wholeheartedly!”
“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“My dog had a great time with Crystal! She was very responsive and accommodating to anything I needed and provided updates throughout the weekend. We highly recommend Crystal!”
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”
“Krystene and her family were great! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. I got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely book with Krystene again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Denise took wonderful care of my 15-year-old pup, Tonalli! She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear Tonalli felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and safe in her care.”
“Lovely family - I never worried about my dog Cooper at any time. I got pictures of Cooper relaxed and happy. Yara and Angel were very knowledgeable about dogs and very complimentary about my Cooper. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST THANK YOU!!!!!”
“This is my second time using Sayaka. Very nice people, I do not worry at all about my dog because I know he is with dog another dog family. Great about sending updates. Thank you again! We really appreciate it.”

“I’m glad Hilary was able to look after our cats. I was able to be away from home without worry. She sent good updates every day and I can tell the cats got plenty of attention. I would be happy to book with her again or recommend her to someone else.”
“Angelica was fantastic! We could tell from the meet and greet that she was going to take really good care of our furry goofballs. She was very enthusiastic, responsive, and responsible. She kept us apprised of all of the cats' moods and movements, and it was very reassuring knowing that she was the one taking care of our cats. Absolutely would use again!”
“Mackenzie did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats and guinea pig while we were out of town! She took extra care with all of them to make sure they got attention, pets and notice their eating habits. I am so appreciative and hope to have them sit again if we're out of town :)”
“Sharon has brought so much peace of mind when we travel. I am so grateful to have her care for our animals. In addition to our cat, Sharon takes care of our ducks - I highly recommend her if you also have livestock pets.”
“Rosa is a great sitter. She took perfect care of our pets, including our very sick kitty with special medication needs. She is prompt, energetic, and communicative. We will use her again”
“Shae was professional, experienced and very responsive. She arranged to meet us ahead of time, was available for a last minute change to our booking, and helped us problem solve when she couldn't get in because our door lock wasn't functioning properly. She was a speedy communicator and I felt a huge amount of peace of mind having someone so reliable and trustworthy caring for our two cats for 3 days. We will definitiely book with Shae again.”
“Gwen did such an amazing job taking care of my baby while I was gone, updating me with photos, and easing any worries that I had while I was on vacation. I knew my baby was in good hands!”
“Uli was great! She took the time to get to know our two cats and won them both over - even our grumpier senior cat. She took great care of them while we were out of town - going so far as to mash up our senior’s special meals and tracking his box habits (he has urinary issues) to playing with our high-energy kitten during each visit. Highly recommend contacting Uli if you need a kind, caring, and compassionate sitter. This was our first time hiring a sitter and we will definitely be contacting Uli for any future trips!”
About: Hi! I’m Whitney — a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom of two! I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, from helping neighbors with their dogs to fostering kittens and keeping friends’ furry family members happy while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and lots of updates for peace of mind. Years of hands-on care with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. After a full day at work, spending time with animals is honestly my favorite way to unwind. My evenings are calm and flexible, which makes it easy for me to focus on walks, playtime, and quality care. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or giving your pet some extra love after dinner, I always make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I treat every visit like a chance to relax and connect — it’s not just part of my routine, it’s the best part of my day. Your pets will never feel like an afterthought; they’re the highlight of my evenings! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their favorite humans are away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so I can make them feel completely comfortable. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’ll match their pace and make sure they get the perfect mix of attention, activity, and rest.
About: I have been pet sitting dogs (of all sizes and with various abilities and health concerns) and cats since I was 9. I have two cats of my own in Briar Chapel, so I cannot take animals into my own house. However, I am in close proximity to all Briar Chapel homes, making it easy for me to drop by and feed or walk your animals. I am willing to stay overnight in your home if that is what you would prefer. Walking is my favorite exercise, and I'd be happy to take your cats on a walk if that's something you'd like. I have received medical and behavioral training (as a clinical psychology student), which could make me a good fit for animals with health or behavioral concerns. I am also happy to take care of any other animals you may have, as I have experience with frogs, turtles, snakes, and fish. I also have a big car, so I can take animals to the vet or to other places around town if you need it.
“Our 2 cats were very happy and calm after their stay! We got great updates and photos during their stay. We were very pleased and will book again next month for our vacation!”
About: I truly understand that pets are family. When you trust me with your dog, you're not just hiring a sitter, you're choosing someone who cares deeply about their comfort, safety, and happiness. Every dog has their own unique needs and personality. I take the time to get to know your pup, whether that means being patient with a shy rescue, playful with an energetic puppy, or gentle with a senior who moves at their own pace. I have experience with: • Training and socializing young puppies 🐶 • Providing slow, careful care for senior dogs 💕 • Supporting anxious pets who need extra reassurance and calm 🌿 I offer consistent communication, photo updates, and a calm, nurturing presence your pet can feel safe with. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home, even when you're away. I don’t just walk dogs - I build trust, one paw at a time. 🐾 I work from home three days a week (8–5), which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or just having a calming presence nearby, I’m able to stay connected to your pet’s needs and not just check in and leave. On the days I’m home, I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love-not just the basics. For pets who thrive on routine, this consistent presence can be especially comforting. Even outside my work-from-home days, I’m available for evening, early morning, or weekend care depending on your pet’s needs. I truly enjoy making pet care part of my daily rhythm - it brings a balance of joy, companionship, and purpose to my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In your home, I work to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I know how important consistency is, especially for anxious or sensitive pets, so I approach their care with patience, gentleness, and clear communication. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. In my own home (if applicable), I’ve created a pet-friendly, low-stress space that’s clean, secure, and filled with cozy spots for rest and play. I always do slow introductions if other pets are present, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods. Whether it's their home or mine, I aim to make every pet feel safe, seen, and loved- like they never skipped a beat while you're away.

“Angela did a wonderful job looking after my very anxious, older dog - and sent me pics showing her settled in and calm on a day when I was quite concerned about her. I have already booked a 7 day boarding with her in June.”
“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”
About: I have taken care of my family's pets for 26 years. I just recently lost my dog and am looking to meet new furry friends and help families in need of pet-setting. I have taken care of many neighbors, friends and families' pets, but would love to spend much more time getting to know your beloved pets. I just retired as a Physical Education teacher and coach after 44 years of service to young people, therefore I am ready to dog walk, pet sit and board your furry family pets. I am home every day and have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! I love to spend time outdoors, so your pet would be extremely happy when the weather is nice. I live in a two story home in a very pet friendly neighborhood. The streets are not busy, making dog-walking very safe and easy. I have almost two acres of land...perfect for running around and playing! I look forward to being with your furry friends full time! I retired as a teacher/coach for 44 years and my husband works from home M-F. We are available to give your pups plenty of attention. I treat every clients pet as if they are my own. I give plenty of belly rubs, let them sit with me on furniture and I have a guest suite with a lower bed that I sleep with pets if they wish. They have run of my home. If a parent wants them to sleep in a bed or crate, I honor that as well. We love having pets since we lost our family pet.
“I had such a great experience with Evie and Fritz! My dog Miso was so happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates and photos I got throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Heather was an amazing host for my puppy, Odin! She sent me pictures throughout the day and got him out for a nice, long walk. My initially hesitant boy even took a minute to notice me when I picked him up, because he had obviously become so comfortable under Heather’s care. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Max loved his time with Dean & his crew! I finally came home with a tired doggie (2 days tired & counting!). Can't wait to do it again. We will def be switching from our big name facility. Thanks for your flexibility Dean & taking such good care of my baby. ?”
About: I am an experienced, attentive, and responsible pet care-giver providing peace-of-mind and a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax while you are away for work or travel. I grew up loving and caring for every kind of pet you can imagine and I have 18 years experience caring for cats. I also have 10 years experience caring for a cockatiel and I love parrots. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can host pets in my home and can also visit your home for pet care during weekend days and in the evening. I live in a townhome neighborhood with lots of room to walk and a green space in the back. I work at a computer and take regular breaks to move around and check on my cat and other pets that I am hosting. I usually sit on the floor while I work so dog friends and other cuddly pets can sit near me if they want and get pets and attention any time. My space is clean and calm with room for pets to move around freely or rest on a comfy couch or pet bed.
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I currently have four of my own and bring years of hands-on experience caring for special and medical needs pups. As a former dedicated foster, I’m confident handling a variety of personalities and care routines, while happily welcoming all dogs. Dogs enjoy plenty of activity (or not!) with access to a large, fenced yard and walks in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. My dogs are relaxed, friendly, and adjust well to new companions. I’m best suited for dogs who are housebroken and have good home manners. No matter if you’re looking for daycare, overnight boarding, social time, or longer-term care, this is a warm and reliable spot for your pup. ***I do require a meet and greet at my house prior to a stay. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be home throughout the day. I’m always home in the evenings and maintain a structured routine for feeding and medication needs. Daily walks are part of our routine with one of my dogs and are available for visiting pups as well, weather permitting. We almost always have soothing music on to keep a very chill vibe! A safe, comfortable stay with plenty of space to relax and explore. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard and a screened-in porch perfect for lounging and watching neighborhood activity (and local wildlife!). I prioritize safety by crating or gating dogs when I’m away briefly, and I’m rarely gone for more than a couple of hours. While I’m home, pets enjoy free roam and can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable—including bedtime. My own dogs are very relaxed but social and engaged. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy low to moderate activity and interaction but are also able to settle down and relax or play on their own. For everyone’s comfort and safety, visiting pups should be friendly, well-behaved, and non-aggressive.
“Jessica was very accomodating. We felt at ease with her right off. She sent lots of pictures and communicated with us via text throughout Kai's stay. She was also very understanding of Kai's conditon/attitude. I would highly recommend Jessica's services.”
“Adrian is amazing! My pup loves going there; it’s very evident that Adrian takes great care of her and I feel relieved during the work day knowing that she is in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”
About: We have had dogs in our family for years. I have all the basic experience of taking care of a crate trained dog. We also had a high energy Australian shepherd that had to go boot camp a few times…that being said I understand their training is very important to keep up so I am open and receptive to all their training and dietary needs. I am available through August most days. I am a school teacher so once the school year starts up I will be available for afternoon drop ins or boarding etc. With all the instructions you provide me for them and exceptional love and care. Furry friends deserve to feel comfortable too. I will take any crates, beds, toys etc. that they need and try to keep them on their routine as close as possible.
“Cynthia was great, full of energy and super in tune with our dog’s personality right from the get go! She made him feel right at home with her and her pups. Thank you so much!”
“My dog had a great daycare experience with Julie! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. He came home happy and relaxed—clearly well loved and exercised. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend!”
“We are very grateful to Tetyana for taking care of our Bella. Kind and reliable people, always in touch, keep us informed of how our dog is feeling. Bella already considers Tetiana's house to be another family place for her.”

“Annalia was great! I really appreciated that she was able to come over (last minute on my part) to do a meet and greet the day before walking our dogs. They seem to love her and it’s a huge relief to know they are being doted on while I’m at work. Also the pictures are so adorable and really capture their personalities well.”
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”
“Tina has been a great. She has really helped us during a stressful time. She has really bonded with our puppy. Her ability to walk him is one less thing I do not have to worry about.”
About: Experienced caregiver, looking to help with drop ins and walks. Can also do housesitting if overnights are not required. I would love to stop in, care for, feed, or walk your pet. I’m a responsible dog, cat and human mom and will treat yours as mine. I can offer late afternoon, evening and weekend visits due to my current work schedule. I have time to stop by and love your pet. Please get in touch to discuss your situation. I will love yours as mine. I love to spend time with, walk and cuddle pets. I am not taking animals in my home at this time.
“Rosa was amazing watching Moose. She walked her three times a day for several days and administered her food and medication without any issues. Rosa sent a photo and update with every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose was clearly well cared for, and we would highly recommend Rosa and book her again.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I am currently raising an energetic, lab puppy that keeps me on my toes - with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of training. Through her, I’ve gained firstshand experience with the patience, consistency, and energy that dogs need to thrive. Before welcoming my lab, I cared for my previous large-breed dog through every stage of her life, from adulthood into her senior years. She lived to be 14 years old, giving me experience with the slower pace, extra attention, and gentle care that older dogs often need. Whether your dog loves long adventures, a leisurely neighborhood walk, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I'm happy to tailor each visit to their individual needs. Safety, communication, and reliability are my top priorities. I'll always treat your home and your pet with respect, follow your care instructions closely, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every dog is different. My goal is to make each walk or visit a positive, stress-free experience—for both you and your pup. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am currently home during the day and available 24/7 to help care for your pup! I am happy to go on long walks outside or play with toys inside. I currently live in a condo with my 4 month old lab puppy, so I am experienced navigating potty breaks in apartment settings and finding the best trails outside!
“Uli has been caring for our dogs for a long time and has gone through multiple puppy hoods and the geriatric days with our previous. She is consistent and reliable and loves our boys! We are so lucky to have her!”

“Rylie was a great communicator and was very attentive to my fur baby! She was very understanding of my dogs shy/nervous tendencies and didn’t let it stand in the way of a good afternoon walk! I was very happy with her!”
About: Isabella is an independent contractor for the local "Walk & Wag" pet services company, in addition to having her own freelance clientele with Rover. Background check & driving record approved! P.S.: Her pet pictures tend to be with one hand holding the phone and the other a leash (or 3!). While she's not always able to fit in the frame, she's smiling behind the camera. ___________ Isabella has lived in the RDU area for most of her life and has been caring for neighbors’ pets since she was old enough to fill a water bowl and walk her own West Highland White Terrier, Bonnie. Isabella regularly volunteers with Orange County Animal Services’ Dog Day Out Program and previously fostered a wide variety of dog breeds while living in Washington, DC. She finds great joy in caring for Chapel Hill’s beloved pets and being part of the local community. In her free time, Isabella enjoys hiking, backpacking, browsing local bookstores, and spending time with friends. She also speaks fluent French and conversational Russian and Spanish. Isabella earned a Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs from American University and a Master’s degree in International Security from the Paris Institute of Political Studies. Now back in Chapel Hill, she's working remotely & thrilled to be surrounded by trees – and animals – once again. Her schedule is flexible and largely adaptable to her furry clients' needs, including ones that pop up last-minute (so never be shy to ask!). In clients' homes, Isabella treats both the pet and their safe space with as much respect as she'd hope for herself. Ensuring lockboxes are properly secured, fences closed, and individual pet needs are met is essential. It's equally essential for pet owners to know that the extra step is being taken to keep your pet safe and cared for, so regular communication and photos are standard on every service.
“Alessandra is a GEM! She is kind and gentle and knows how to make our anxious little dog feel safe. She is very conscientious and made sure she understood the details of Lou's routine (including his medication), which put me completely at ease. Alessandra gives our dog the same loving care that we do, and I'm so glad to have found her!”
About: Hey, my name is Tiffani! I've been taking care of my own pets since I was about ten years old. Along with that, I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for about the same amount of time. I currently have two dogs, Draco and Rhino, who are both pitbulls, so I have experience caring for big dogs. Although I do not currently have a cat, I have experience caring for cats and kittens and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. I will provide a wide variety of services, including walks/potty breaks, feeding, playtime, administering medication if needed, and overnight in-home sitting. I am also happy to help with basic grooming, such as brushing and keeping your pet’s area tidy. My goal is to tailor my services to each pet's needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As for my availability, I am in college and work part-time, but my schedule is still very flexible. That means I can stop in for quick visits, hang out for longer play sessions, or even stay overnight if your pet needs extra company. Making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved is always what matters most to me! While I am currently in school, working part-time, and volunteering at an animal sanctuary each week, I am very comfortable managing a busy schedule. In addition to caring for my own pets, feeding, walking, playing, and of course, cuddling, I am more than happy to fit your pets into my routine. Whether your pet needs an hour-long walk or overnight care, I am flexible and prepared to accommodate their needs. My dogs get along very well, even though they were introduced to each other a few years apart. However, they must be fed separately to prevent any fights or food stealing. I also have experience caring for dogs who cannot be in the same space together. Because of this, I am fully capable of handling specific care requests, whether that means feeding pets separately or maintaining a safe distance between them for their safety.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. There’s truly no animal I don’t love. My schedule is really flexible throughout the week, and I’m more than happy to work around other people’s availability as best as I can. I truly enjoy making things as convenient as possible so that we can connect without any stress! Upon first meeting I try to the understand the pets emotionally and what their needs may be. Having four animals myself I have learned how each animal can have varying needs and expectations, and how to best work with the pet. Ultimately, I love animals more than anything and would love to be able to help whenever or wherever needed!
About: I don’t just love animals - I need them in my life! I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years, and I’ve always had a dog by my side. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some cozy company, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a freshman in college, just finishing up my first year and home for the summer. I have a sweet dog and a cat of my own, but I’m looking to expand my fluffy friend group while I’m back! Pet sitting lets me do what I love most - spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy and cared for. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I honestly can’t imagine a day without them. From dogs and cats to all kinds of furry friends, I’ve always loved being around pets and caring for them. I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away.
About: I've been around animals my entire life, dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. Growing up, I was the go-to person in my neighborhood whenever someone needed their animals looked after while they were away, handling everything from daily feeding and walks to full care for extended trips. So I have been around animals and taking care of them my whole life. I am a pre-med student at Notre Dame and work over the summer as an EMT. Because of this, I am trained to stay calm and respond quickly. I have also worked for three years as a volunteer in a veterinary clinic. That background means I notice when something's off with an animal and know how to handle it. I offer boarding, dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and doggy day care. Whether it's a quick check-in or a multi-week stay, I will be sure to give your pet the care and supervision it needs. I am available around the clock. I take summer classes fully online, which means I work from home and can give your pet consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Dogs get walks, check-ins, and company on a flexible schedule built around what works for them. My home is a farm-style property with a large yard and a fenced-in space. Inside pets are part of the house, unless specified otherwise. I keep a close eye on feeding schedules and any medications necessary.

“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Molly was so wonderful with our dog. She sent us pictures and updates, took her for walks, and kept her cozy for our week away. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“As usual, Vanessa and family are always amazing! She's become my do to dog sitter because she's kind, understands dogs and sends great updates during our pups stay!”
“As a first timer, we were nervous to board our dog, but Gregg eased our concern immediately. Gregg and his family took such good care of our three year old cavapoo, sending photos over the weekend with the most descriptive and caring reports that I could have asked for. We recommend Gregg wholeheartedly!”
“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”
“Krystene and her family were great! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. I got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely book with Krystene again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Denise took wonderful care of my 15-year-old pup, Tonalli! She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear Tonalli felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and safe in her care.”
“Lovely family - I never worried about my dog Cooper at any time. I got pictures of Cooper relaxed and happy. Yara and Angel were very knowledgeable about dogs and very complimentary about my Cooper. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST THANK YOU!!!!!”
“This is my second time using Sayaka. Very nice people, I do not worry at all about my dog because I know he is with dog another dog family. Great about sending updates. Thank you again! We really appreciate it.”
“Angela (and her own little dog and young son) provided a wonderful week for my old, anxious little dog. She kept me posted with her photos and comments - Sandy clearly felt at home and very secure. I will definitely be booking with her whenever we need boarding or day care for Sandy!”
“Went above and beyond. Very caring and conscientious. Great communication. Sent a lot of pictures. We knew our dog was in very good hands. Would definitely use again.”
