“Peggy was fantastic with Piper! She took great care of her and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me real peace of mind. Piper was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I’d definitely book with Peggy again!”
“We would highly recommend Amanda and her family to other dog owners. They went above and beyond to make our puppy feel at home and cared for. Amanda is also very responsive and kept up updated throughout the stay.”
“Hannah was fantastic! She was easy to work with and kept me well informed about how my dog was doing with text and picture updates. It’s always feels so hard to trust someone with your dog, but I never had to worry with Hannah! I felt like my dog was in great care and already have plans to rebook with her in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Yenny enough! She has been so attentive and caring with my Ruby. During Ruby’s stay, Yenny noticed the early signs of an ear infection and made sure to keep her ears as clean as possible while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing Ruby was in such capable hands. Yenny always goes above and beyond, and I never have to worry when she’s taking care of my little girl.”
“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“First time using Rover and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Great communication from Monique and she has created a welcoming environment in her home. She took excellent care of our 7 month old puppy and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Ana takes amazing care of my dog Draco. She goes above and beyond caring for him and sending me tons of updates/pictures. He usually has separation anxiety but he loves going to Ana’s house and has been comfortable around her since he first met her. She is great with dogs and great with communication, can’t recommend her enough!”
“Samantha was awesome! She was extremely communicative, gave constant updates and made me feel at ease. I was traveling from another state and was nervous to leave Kam but he had a ball and was extremely comfortable with her! Will definitely book her anytime I visit in the future. Can’t say thank you enough”
“Daniella took such good care of Bane. Noticed when his ears o paws were bothering him and applied medicine as needed. Very responsive and lots of pictures! Bane loved his stay :)”
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
About: 11 years caring for my Labrador, including training, grooming, feeding, and daily care. Patient, attentive, and skilled at building trust with pets of all ages. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I work around the pets in my care. I currently offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate earlier or later times whenever possible—just ask! 😊 I live with my husband in a pet-friendly apartment in NoDa with an elevator, so there are no stairs to worry about. We currently don’t have any resident pets, creating a calm environment that works especially well for senior dogs, anxious pets, and pets who prefer having the space to themselves. I’ve had animals my entire life. I raised and trained my own Labrador Retriever from the time she was 47 days old, and she was my best friend for 11 wonderful years. I also recently cared for both my senior Labrador and my senior cat through their health challenges, so I’m comfortable following routines, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy grooming and helping puppies learn good habits through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and right at home. To provide personalized care, I keep my bookings small. Occasionally, there may be one other friendly guest staying at the same time, depending on compatibility and everyone’s comfort level. If your pet does best as the only pet, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs.
“Great experience! Julia was very responsive, she sent regular updates and photos which was amazing. She was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans changed last minute and extended the stay without any issues. Highly recommend!”
“Sandra is great! I could tell Mojo really enjoyed being there with her and I loved how she kept me updated on how things were going and providing photos a videos throughout his stay. She took him on long walks and let the kids play with him, which I know he soaked up every ounce of that extra love!”
“Mathias was absolutely wonderful. He was really flexible and he was so responsive. We absolutely loved getting pictures of Cooper having fun. He took great care of our puppy!”
“Isabella kindly agreed to keep Gus overnight on very short notice, and we really appreciated her flexibility. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Gus was in good hands while we traveled to visit a terminally ill family member. We are grateful for her care and can highly recommend her.”
“Linette was absolutely amazing. First, she helped me with a last minute sitting at her house (thank you!). And then she sent pictures of daily walks, chilling on the couch and hanging out with her pup. My pup seemed to really enjoy his weekend at her house. Definitely be back for sure!”
“Karina took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation. She is very flexible and sent me lots of pics! Highly recommend her and will book again!”

“Alyssa did an excellent job looking after my cat! Her communication was great and she sent many pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Alyssa to others looking for sitters”

“Grace did an amazing job with my cat Lily! She was patient with her knowing she can be a bit skittish. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up after Lily threw up while we were away. I would recommend booking with Grace!”
“She was amazing with our furbabies and I felt completely comfortable going on vacation and knowing they were taken care of. I highly recommend Alicia.”
“Haley was amazing with our two cats! She was very communicative and reliable, too. Our cats clearly loved her!! She was able to give our slightly difficult cat her daily meds too which is not always the easiest task!”
“Stephen was great at taking care of our cat. Very communicative, consistent, and reliable. Would definitely ask for his help again! We had peace of mind while we were away for several days. Stephen gave detailed updates and pictures after each visit.”
“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”
About: I live with my roommates Maine Coon, so I understand firsthand how to read cat behavior, respect their independence, and keep them comfortable in a sitting environment. Over the past year I’ve also cared for cats for friends and neighbors, handling feeding schedules, litter maintenance, and playtime. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every cat like part of the family, whether they’re cuddly or more reserved.
“Lauryn is absolutely amazing!!!! And I think that’s an understatement!!! First of all, I found her on kind of short notice..and I am so incredibly grateful that she confirmed the booking right away! This was her first time taking care of Charlie and Cleo, and I can tell they fell in love with her (and vice versa) 🥹 we were gone for the longest time away from our babies (around 5 days!), but Lauryn took extra special care of them and was so patient. She was very communicative, and I absolutely loved the photos/videos she sent us! I would 1000% book Lauryn again - and highly, highly recommend her!”
“Serefina was wonderful with our 3 cats! They’re typically very shy around new people but she got them to come out on the first day and play. She sent lots of pics and we felt so happy that our cats loved her. Highly recommend for any your pet sitting needs!”
“Rachel did an amazing job watching our two cats while on our honeymoon! She sent pictures so fast after every visit and was quick to respond to any messages or questions we had. I recommend her 100% and would definitely use her again! I could tell she took the time to play with and love on our cats, and they look very happy in every picture!”
“My three cats--mom, dad, and their 18-month-old daughter--loved their visits from Karen and Xavier E. for the two weeks I was away from home. I was so excited to see all their cute photos and read about how my precious kitty family was enjoying their time together. Karen and Xavier E. were devoted to getting to know each of my cats and their preferences. The mom cat usually keeps her distance from visitors, but she was so comfortable with Karen and Xavier E., she came over and craved some cuddles from them! I felt such peace of mind every day knowing my cats were happy, and so was I!”
“Jenn was excellent with our fur baby and we were instantly relaxed about her when we met her! Solomon had a great time and we would hire her again any day!”
“Kristen was wonderful and I would highly recommend! I’m a bit of a helicopter cat mom and Kristen was fabulous with my girls, she even got my shy one to come out and play. I received daily pictures of my girls too which warmed my heart! She’s very communicative and was willing to do a meet and greet before she watched them the first time. I’ve used her twice now and definitely plan to use her in the future!”
“Adriana took such great care of my 2 cats while I was on vacation. The cats quickly warmed up to her and she took pictures during every visit! I didn’t have any worries leaving the cats in her care and I will certainly use Adriana for future trips!”
About: I'm Kaili and I’m looking for some wagging tails to fill my schedule! I'm a huge dog lover and always have been - with over 15 years experience I'm able to give specialty care to all dogs of varying breeds and personalities. Depending on you and your doggo’s preferences, we can go for long walks or take it easy and lounge in the grass. I'm available for walks, potty-breaks, excercise/play time and/or over night stays! I have experience with overly timid or anxious pups that require patience and gentle attention. As well as extensive care with senior dogs, who also require extra attention in their old age. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help keep them company in anyway needed! I have a dog of my own and often care for my sister’s dog as well so I’m very well versed and have a schedule down pat. I can be home on the weekends for dog sitting and ample walks around the neighborhood. I have an unfenced grassy area outside my home and live in a neighborhood where I walk my own dog all the time. It’s pretty quiet and low traffic, but there’s also the greenway nearby for a longer / more stimulating environment.
“Due to my job she wasn’t able to meet my dogs prior and they were comfortable enough with her to go outside with her. (My older dog can be wary of new people sometimes)”

“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”
“Ana was great! She was very responsive and accommodating with scheduling. I so appreciated all the photos and updates she provided throughout the day, it was easy to tell my pup was having a wonderful time!”
“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Adrienne, Jarrod, and their sweet boy Remy were wonderful hosts for our Ruthie. They kept her busy with walks and indulged her frisbee habit. It was so nice that they kept me posted on all her adventures. Ruthie can't wait to see them all again soon”
“Linett is the absolute best 10/10 service!!!! We cannot thank you enough for caring for our pup Fenway. Your flexibility, consistent communication, and attention to Fen definitely put us at ease. We appreciate you, and Fen absolutely LOVES you lol. We will be booking again”
“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”
About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
“Oriana was a fantastic caregiver for our pup Linus. She was very communicative and took some amazing pics of our little boy. Would def recommend for your furry friends!”
“Ryan is awesome!! He has watched my 2 large golden doodles for a long weekend, and for daycare and both experiences have been seamless! Ryan’s responds almost instantaneously and is always available in a pinch. He makes pick up and drop off super easy and send lots of updates! My dogs have a blast playing in his backyard.”
About: I have a full-time remote position which allows me lots of flexibility and outdoor breaks! I have a 5 year old cockapoo who is my laziest coworker. She loves other dogs and would enjoy some friends to play with! My schedule is very flexible so last minute walk requests is definitely something I can do! I’m a master power walker and love being able to step away from my desk for some pup time. I live in a house on .3 acres with a very large fenced in backyard. Pups who visit will get lots of outdoor time and get rid of some energy!
“Fun day play at Mia’s! She took great care of our boy, and was so careful with his recent food allergies to make sure he was being a good boy. Always trust Mia for a great time and wonderful attention!! ? ? ?”
“Allison was AMAZING!! As if I wasn't already impressed with her reviews, our meet & greet confirmed that she will be our PERMANENT sitter for our fur baby Fendi!! He immediately clung to her, I loved the genuine heart she had for him as if he was her own. And on his vist visit with her HE ATE!! Which showed just how comfortable he was with her. She was very accommodating for a last minute sitting appointment which with our schedules is huge!! Thanks Allison!! We will see you again VERY soon!!”
About: Growing up I had four dogs and a cat. I love animals and want to help other pet owners find peace of mind while traveling. As someone who works from home and has a flexible schedule, I am able to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I currently have two German Shepherd's and two cats and as a pet mom, I understand the need for reliable sitters who create a worry free environment. I currently work from home with an extremely flexible schedule. I choose my own hours and work right from my laptop, so I can easily adjust my schedule to help care for your pet and put your mind at ease. I have a fenced in yard that gives your pup lots of room to play! I love taking dogs on walks and making sure both cats and dogs get extra cuddles and attention.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two family dogs, giving me years of hands on experience with daily care, including walking, feeding, and playtime. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for friends and helped care for their dogs while they were away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to take dogs on walks, provide drop in visits, and give them the attention they need. I also enjoy going on walks and runs as part of my own routine, so staying active with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always providing a safe environment. I live in an apartment community with a fenced-in dog park, which provides a secure space for dogs to get exercise and enjoy time outdoors while being closely supervised. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.
About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with cats, dogs and the occasional hamster or two. My husband and I now have a sassy 13 year old calico named Mittens and our newest addition is a rescue puppy called Leia. We also recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog Arlie. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats throughout their life stages and changing needs. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Afternoons specifically I am usually wide open and love getting a good walk in with a pup! My weekends tend to be very flexible as well. I treat your pets as I do my own with lots of care, attention and love. After a life spent around pets I'm very good at reading their emotions and will do my best to have a fun and safe time together.
“Tre has become like family. He is always available to take care of Dax when I need and treats him as if he was his own. He’s very personable, responsible, reliable, accommodating to my crazy schedule and he will definitely continue to be my go-to.”
“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”

You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.

About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
About: Hi! I'm Gabrielle, a passionate animal lover, proud dog mom to my 3 year old pup Yonah, and a full time elementary school teacher! Now that summer is here, I have a very flexible schedule. Looking for someone to take your dog on walks, give them lots of love, and keep you updated with adorable photos while you're away? I’ve got you covered! We'll collaborate to make sure your pet has a tail-wagging good time while you’re gone! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since elementary school—also helping with fish, frogs, a bird, and a hamster, and eventually convincing my parents I was ready for a dog of my own. My sister and I lovingly cared for our family dog until she was 14, and now Yonah, my own "dog daughter," keeps me on my toes with her sweet, fun-loving spirit that matches mine perfectly. With six years of teaching under my belt, I bring a nurturing, patient, and dependable presence to every pet I care for. Whether your pup loves cuddles, outdoor adventures, or just someone to chill with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I have a fenced in patio and access to beautiful walking trail. I also am near dog parks and around pet friendly businesses if you'd like your pet to be socialized. I'm currently a teacher, so I have flexibility on weekends when it comes to caring for your pup! I work during the week, but before & after school I take time to do the things I enjoy, like taking walks! With my own puppy, I take time after my workdays to take her for walks, playdates, or play time at the dog parks. Whether it's a short lap around the neighborhood or a long stroll through town, I can work with you to fit you and your dog's needs. I am very attentive and am sure to keep an eye out for your pet's safety and comfortability at all times, whether in home or on a walk. I also have a playful, 3 year old mini cockapoo that can keep your dog company on our walks or playdates (if requested).
“Grace was absolutely amazing! She was on time, kept me updated, and made sure my dog had everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. My parents have had four golden retrievers since I was a child, and my sister’s had a German Shepherd for the past six years. I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years, and this year alone I’ve watched my neighbors’ dogs regularly and I’m currently caring for a friend’s dogs right now. I’ve also been watching cats for the past year and live with a Maine Coon, so I’m just as comfortable with cat care. I’m comfortable with big and small breeds, high-energy and laid-back temperaments, and I treat every pet like it’s my own - feeding, walking, playtime, and lots of attention included. I work remotely full-time, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to check in during lunch breaks, in addition to evenings and weekends. This flexibility lets me give pets consistent attention and stick to their routine, whether that’s a midday walk, feeding schedule, or just companionship throughout the day. I’m also available for overnight stays. I don’t have a yard, but I’m happy to take dogs on regular walks to make sure they get exercise and outdoor time throughout the day.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with three dogs and two cats, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also regularly help care for my sister’s large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling bigger breeds and energetic pups. For the past 8 years, I’ve been a proud dog mom to my own dog, Gus. Caring for Gus has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and can maintain their normal routines. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, loving environment and will treat your pet like a member of my own family.
About: I have grown up with animals, cats, dogs, ducks, bunnies, goats and even had a horse at one time! I have always had a love for animals. I volunteered at the Humane Society for about a year before I moved to Charlotte! I helped socialize and play with the dogs and cats and give them love as well as walking the dogs. I have helped work for a pet sitting service, Pawsitive Day, for about a year now and thoroughly enjoyed getting to take care of and make sure others animals are loved while their owners are away!! Currently I’m on summer break from nursing school so I’m pretty flexible during the weekdays and weekends to do drop in visits and check on your baby! I will carefully listen to whatever instructions and care you need for your fur baby!! I will take your dogs on walks and be very attentive while doing so!

About: 11 years caring for my Labrador, including training, grooming, feeding, and daily care. Patient, attentive, and skilled at building trust with pets of all ages. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I work around the pets in my care. I currently offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate earlier or later times whenever possible—just ask! 😊 I live with my husband in a pet-friendly apartment in NoDa with an elevator, so there are no stairs to worry about. We currently don’t have any resident pets, creating a calm environment that works especially well for senior dogs, anxious pets, and pets who prefer having the space to themselves. I’ve had animals my entire life. I raised and trained my own Labrador Retriever from the time she was 47 days old, and she was my best friend for 11 wonderful years. I also recently cared for both my senior Labrador and my senior cat through their health challenges, so I’m comfortable following routines, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy grooming and helping puppies learn good habits through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and right at home. To provide personalized care, I keep my bookings small. Occasionally, there may be one other friendly guest staying at the same time, depending on compatibility and everyone’s comfort level. If your pet does best as the only pet, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs.
“Great experience! Julia was very responsive, she sent regular updates and photos which was amazing. She was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans changed last minute and extended the stay without any issues. Highly recommend!”
“Mathias was absolutely wonderful. He was really flexible and he was so responsive. We absolutely loved getting pictures of Cooper having fun. He took great care of our puppy!”

“Karina took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation. She is very flexible and sent me lots of pics! Highly recommend her and will book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I needed a dog sitter at the very last minute due to an upcoming major surgery after my previous sitter plans fell through. I was stressed trying to find someone I could trust, and then I aligned with Alexis and I will be forever grateful that I did. When I say Alexis did an exceptional job caring for my Nahla girl, I truly mean it. She communicated consistently, kept me updated, and genuinely cared about Nahla’s health and well-being. She even offered helpful tips and showed so much compassion and attentiveness throughout the entire stay. Knowing Nahla was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind during a very difficult time. Alexis has been amazing across the board, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
“I don’t know who had more fun on vacation me or my dog, Joy. Megan and her pup Frank were wonderful with Jo while I was away, and the steady stream of updates were such a reassurance.”
About: I’m Ashley, a lifelong dog lover with a calm, intuitive energy that animals gravitate toward. My family has owned both dogs and a cat since I was a kid, and have had my own fur baby Kali for over 9 years now. My group of friends also have several dogs and playmates of Kali’s, that they have also entrusted me with dog sitting because I’m the perfect mix of nurturing, active and reliable. Your pup can expect: - Plenty of walks, playtime and affection - A clean, peaceful home environment - A large, fenced in backyard to play and relax - An excellent communicator with lots of photo updates I’m great at adapting to each dog’s personality, tuning into what your dog needs. I’ll follow your routines exactly, ask thoughtful questions and treat your dog like my own. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind, keep your dog healthy and happy, and make the experience smooth, safe and positive for everyone! I work from home full-time, allowing plenty of pup attention throughout the day, including frequent potty breaks, structured walks, and lot of companionship and belly rubs! I’m already in the habit of taking my own dog Kali on 30 to 60 minute walks most days of the week, and I’m happy to adjust the routine based on your dog’s needs — shorter, more frequent walks, longer adventures or anything in between. I keep a very clean, calm and pet-friendly home in my one-story house. Especially working from home, it’s very easy for me to keep a close eye on your dog’s safety and comfort, and dogs are never left unattended for long periods. I follow your dog’s routines closely: feeding schedules, crate preferences, sleep habits and any special instructions. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful updates and a fun environment where your pup can relax or play. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for playtime and frequent potty breaks. My neighborhood is very pet-friendly with quiet streets that are perfect for daily walks, sniff breaks or early evening strolls. Kali is uncrated at home, but she has plenty of experience being around dogs who follow different routines. Whether your pup is uncrated, crated for short periods of time during the day, or sleeps in their crate at night, I can easily accommodate their schedule and keep things consistent with what they’re used to.
“Hunter was so great with our Clementine! She was communicative throughout her stay and was even kind enough to meet us at a dog park before to meet her in person. Clementine had a pretty long stay with her, and I would absolutely recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little anxious about leaving my fur baby with a stranger. Katelyn was great and made Penny feel right at home. She kept me updated daily and sent me the sweetest pics which gave me peace of mind. It meant everything knowing that she was well cared for and she made a new friend. I would definitely use Katelyn again.”
“Adriana was one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever worked with. She treated Goose like her own dog, kept me super informed while I was away (checked ahead of time how much I wanted to be updated) and overall kept my mind at ease while I was away. Will definitely be rebooking in the future and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Thank you Ryan for taking care of our Bella. The daily updates and pictures made us feel at ease knowing that she was cared for. I recommend Ryan for any of your boarding needs.”
“Phil is a fantastic dog-sitter. He took great care of our pup, and was extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. We got lots of pictures of our dog's stay, and he came home very happy and healthy. Thank you, Phil!”
