Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elon
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Elon
“Anna is great! My Sammy has a great time there and I know he’s being taken good care of! As a puppy he stayed with Anna for a week. She knew I was a little concerned to leave him for that long but she reassured me he would be fine. She gave me updates, sent pics and washed the worry away! Sammy had a great time and was perfectly fine and happy when I returned. I would recommend Anna to take care of your babies too! 🐶🥰”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“Grace was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I was under time restraints and needed some one to board my 2 young cats. Ot was last minute cause life happens and she worked with me 100%!!!!! This was my first time using this app and I will again!!! And I am only using Grace again too!!! Thank you for everything Grace!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“First time boarding my dog and ever using rover. Had an excellent time with the Joaquin taking care of my baby. Sending daily picture updates of her time there! We live in an apartment so I’m sure she loved his big backyard! Definitely will be taking her back to him!”
“This was my first time letting my dog spend the night with anyone so I was really nervous! Sarah kept me updated on his eating habits and behavior and this put me at ease. I really appreciate the addional care and kindness for my little guy!!”
“Zydae was great with Shadow. She kept me updated with messages, pictures and videos. She followed through on all instructions and provided a safe and fun environment for Shadow. I highly recommend and will definitely continue to use her for my boarding needs!!”
“Candice did such a great job with Penny. From the initial meet and greet, she made sure to know Penny’s schedule and understand any special preferences, and during the stay, she sent detailed updates and pictures every day. Your pet will be in great hands with Candice!”
“I’m so glad I found Lauren! She is very easy to work with, has a fantastic set up (with a huge fenced-in yard), and understands and loves dogs. I’ve already recommended her to two friends.”
“My dog Dakota loved staying with Tami! I was in town for the weekend for a family visit and I couldn’t keep Dakota with me during the time, but I still wanted her close to me. Tami texted me with updates and pictures every day and I could tell my dog was safe and comfortable with her. She did a really good job working with my dog and did everything to make Dakota feel at home. Will definitely use her in the future if I bring Dakota back and would highly recommend!”
“My dog Bella stayed for around 8 days and I couldn’t have trusted someone else more. Kenan was always ready to send me pictures and videos to not make me worry. It was our first time with them and we will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need. Bella got to play with other dogs and make many friends. I definitely recommend them!”
About: We were raising dogs before we had children. Siberian Huskies, Akitas, rescue dogs, and Icelandic Sheepdogs. There have been dogs in our home for over 50 years. Our pets are a part of the family and greet us each day with a licky kiss on the chin. Our grandchildren love to play with Spensa when they visit. Pet care is intentional and a part of our daily routine. With the morning coffee comes the morning run around the back yard. With my breakfast is the dogs breakfast. If we go for a walk, so does the dog! We all just do life together as we can! We have a fenced yard allowing plenty of room to run and play. Our dog is very friendly and is very comfortable being around other dogs. She is current on all vacinations. Should you required you dog to be crated for any reason, we would be more than willing to comply to your requests.
“Super attentive and loving to our Zoe! Sarah sent updates throughout of our girl so we always knew she was safe and SO happy! Her family loved on her so much as well that we plan to have Sarah babysit for us any and every time we can!”
“I highly recommend Debbie. She was good to our anxious dog, Glitter. Our flight was delayed which resulted in an extra night of stay. Debbie was very accommodating in these unforeseen circumstances. We will definitely return to Debbie.”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”

“Shelby took great care of my cat, Kisses, while I was on vacation. She always dropped in at the exact times I requested and completed the tasks for my furbaby with ease. She left my house exactly as it was and I appreciate that. I will definitely be booking Shelby again!”
“Cynthia went above and beyond. Our cats were in good care while my husband and I were away. Cynthia cared for them as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable and kind. I fully recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“They go above and beyond! I looked forward to seeing daily photos of my cats asking for belly rubs and playing with toys. This shows that my cats love this sitter! Even my shy cat came around more than usual!”
“Amber is super-fantastic. She really helped us with our cat when she wandered over to the neighbor's while we were out of town. Anytime you need a pet-sitter, call Amber. I will.”
“Kathryn is very professional, kind, and truly loves my cat when she’s there. I feel very safe with her having access to my house and trust her to take good care of my cat while i’m away. She’s timely, communicative, and just a lovely human.”
About: As a cat owner myself I understand the importance of a consistent care experience. I know that each cat has a different attitude when it comes to new people. I want to help your cat feel comfortable by respecting them in an anxious situation or when feeling shy. I have experience with litter box maintenance, feeding routines, and playtime.
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elon
“Our pup loved Zydae and her 2 dogs. A very balanced and sweet bunch who took our dog Mars in just like one of their own. He was eager to arrive for day care each day. We appreciated the help and the loving touch.”
“Thanks for taking care of Murdock for the weekend! I can tell he already wants to come back and hang out with the other pups. Looking forward to the next stay!”
“Sarah and Josiah always take great care of our pup! He was so happy to hang out with them today and is absolutely exhausted now that he’s home - which means he had way too much fun!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
About: I have never gone a year of my life without owning at least 2 dogs. I have always trained them well with leash training, potty, and crate training. I now am training a service dog (with the help of some classes) and am learning so much more about a dog’s health, needs, and how to learn from them as much as they learn from us. I know that when I go out of town I want the best care for my dogs and I want to provide a good place for other dogs to stay as well. I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week). I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)
About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!

About: I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and lots of attention! What sets me apart is my experience with all types of dogs, from playful puppies to gentle adults. I understand how to care for dogs with different energy levels, and I’m comfortable following special routines and giving medications. I also focus on creating a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home, whether we’re playing fetch or just enjoying cuddle time. You can count on me for dependable communication, consistent updates, and a lot of tail wags! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home! This allows me to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My flexible schedule also means I can easily stick to your pet’s routine and provide a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. For boarding and doggy day care in my home, your pet will enjoy a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard yet, all outside time is fully supervised with leashed walks and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have cozy spaces to rest, toys to play with, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space where routines are followed to help your pet feel comfortable and secure.

About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job. I love dogs, cats and any other animals as well. Being surrounded by furry friends genuinely makes me happier and I would love to provide my services to help other furry parents out. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently don't have any obligations as I am a free to walk any furry friend throughout any times of the day. Please reach out! As of now, I cannot make any accommodations for pet in-home boarding. I currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets but I am willing do client in-home pet sitting and pet walks.
“Erin is very responsive, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up and I can tell she loves doggies! She stayed in contact with me throughout Milly's stay to let me know how she was doing! Large fenced in back yard for the pups to run and play! When I picked Milly up, I could tell she had a great time (even slept the three hours home)! I will definitely be using Erin in the future when we travel to Elon to visit my daughter and would recommend her to others staying in the area! Thank again Erin!!”
About: What makes me special? Everything!!! A dog has always been a family member since I can remember. Thank God for loving parents who believed in bringing all kinds of pets in our home. We had birds, hamsters, and even the occasional snake or frog from the yard! There is a certain bond you get from a dog that you cannot get from any other animal, though...and I am lucky enough to have experienced that. My parents are proud owners of a rescue cat, and my sister's family has 3 kitties in their happy home!! They also have a sweet little gerbil that has somehow survived all of those felines! You can definitely tell we are a family of animal lovers!!! Since February 2017, my family "farm" has grown. I raised 21 babychicks from a day old...8 of which were ours, the rest for 2 other families...then we added 3 more, barely mature, hens and a rooster to our flock. It has definitely been a fun and wonderful learning experience! I have a wonderful rescued Pit, Buddy! We raised those chicks with Buddy around...so he is great with them! It's pretty amazing!!! (Oh...and just to clarify...Buddy will stay home during any visits/stays with your pet(s). That way you'll know your baby/babies are receiving the full attention they deserve!) Buddy is probably the most spoiled dog in the world because I make practically everything for him, from his shampoos (using essential oils) to his treats. He does get the dental treats at least once a day, but other than that...he's a gourmet doggie! I am a stay-at-home pup Mom...so on the 24 hour overnight visits with me, I'll only need to leave a couple of times during the day to take Buddy out to play, etc....he'll be with his Dad all night. Otherwise, I'm all yours, so if you need someone there to take your baby out literally every 2 hours or less, I can do it!! :-) I do Daycare a little different than Rover does...I only offer daycare in your home. I feel this is the best way to keep your pets in a place they feel super comfortable & with a sitter who will keep them happy, healthy and on their schedule completely. I will always keep you up to date on how your pet or pets are doing and will send you plenty of pictures if you wish! Extras services available: Baths with or w/o essential oils, Homemade bath soap with essential oils to-go (made with any requested oils from list), Doggie bag of treats to-go (made to your pet's dietary needs.) I have numerous flours available to meet any digestive issues. - No preservatives & human-grade (though some flavors may not suit human's taste buds!) By the way...I am no salesperson... & will never try to sell you any extras...these are just other things I offer if you are interested. Just feel free to ask if you are interested. :-)

“It was my pup’s first time with a sitter. He’s usually nervous around new people. But not here, he was peppy and playful coming home. The next time going he ran right in like a reunion with old pals. Very impressed.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Elon
“Rover, can you PLEASE make it possible your customers to send larger tips through your system. After all, those dog walkers, and sitters are the reason you’re in business, and we would like to take better care of them!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs & cats since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!
About: I've grown up with dogs in my house for my whole life and helped neighbors out when needed. I've had dogs of all ages, ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition, I've helped out friends who have cats and often volunteer and local animal shelters with cats and dogs. At the moment, I have an extremely flexible schedule! I am available most days of the week, and I can shift around the majority of my plans if needed. Because I've grown up around dogs, I'm very experienced with dog care necessities including walking, feeding, crating, etc. Although I have never had a cat because my dad is allergic, I love cats and have helped friends take care of their fuzzy furballs more times than I can count. I love playing with animals, and I'm exciting to meet yours!
About: As a dog mom myself, I understand the desire for your pet to feel loved and well-cared for. I've had my sweet Australian Shepherd, Bailey, for 7 years now. Although she is quirky and weird, she is the most precious thing to me and my family. It is SO important to be able to learn the unique personalities of each animal you encounter. It is my promise to you that I will work with your pet in a way that suits their needs while giving them quality attention--the same way that I would want someone to treat mine. I've been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all shapes and sizes, from tiny pups to gentle giants. I also fostered a dog while I was in college, which really taught me how to handle different temperaments and help a nervous dog feel safe and comfortable in a new routine. Whether your pup needs a high-energy game of fetch or a structured walk, I will keep them safe, entertained, and most importantly healthy! I'm currently working part-time as a medical assistant, so weekends are great for me. I can also do more weekdays as my schedule is made and will post my availability as soon as possible on a recurring basis. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, but have great access to safe walking areas in my neighborhood. My apartment is big enough to accomodate dogs of all sizes, and is animal-proofed!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, as the neighborhood dog sitter! I worked as an animal specialist at PetSmart throughout college and have a great love for all animals. As a dog mom of 3 rescues I totally understand in importance in showing everyone love, especially those who struggle with separation anxiety. I am extremely patient and love giving amazing belly rubs and really long walks! I am currently a stay at home dog mom so picking up mid day check ins is fairly easy for me! I have three rescue dogs of my own and truly understand the importance of a mid day potty/play break! I will take care of your pet like they are my own! If that means your dog has to sleep under the blanket they are more the welcome to keep my feet warm!
About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“I needed someone last minute to walk my German Shepard and Lindsay was the first to respond. She sent me pics of the walk and also let me know what business he did so I was prepared when I got home from work. I've had other instances where I've had to book last minute, but Lindsay is my girl for pur household whenever we need services, hands down! Thanks, Lindsay, for all that you did for our baby! ❤️”
About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.
“Daysi was fantastic! Every day and for every walk I received a nice summary of their time together and plenty of pictures. I trusted her walking nala and knew she was in great hands the entire time and nala loved being with her! I will definitely use daysi again in the future and look forward to having her watch my fur baby!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, starting from childhood. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, trusted to give their pets the same love and attention they get at home. About 15 years ago, I brought home my first cat and have been completely smitten with felines ever since! I have experience giving basic medications to pets and am comfortable caring for animals with special needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have over 15 years of experience with bearded dragons and mild experience with many other animals—so I’m happy to watch reptiles, small pets, and more. No matter the species, I’m dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I have open availability for dog walks and any pet drop-ins, so I can work around your pet’s routine—morning, afternoon, or evening. Whether you need a last-minute walk, regular visits, or a quick drop-in while you’re away, I’m always happy to make it happen! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar space.

About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm. I’m flexible to do one time drop ins or regular scheduled drop ins! In my home, I make sure to keep your pup in a normal routine while you are away. I’m respectful and want you to come home to pup(s) just how you left them!

“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“Grace was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I was under time restraints and needed some one to board my 2 young cats. Ot was last minute cause life happens and she worked with me 100%!!!!!

“My dog Bella stayed for around 8 days and I couldn’t have trusted someone else more. Kenan was always ready to send me pictures and videos to not make me worry. It was our first time with them and we will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need. Bella got to play with other dogs and make many friends. I definitely recommend them!”
“Super attentive and loving to our Zoe! Sarah sent updates throughout of our girl so we always knew she was safe and SO happy! Her family loved on her so much as well that we plan to have Sarah babysit for us any and every time we can!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“Tina was an awesome sitter & snoopy loved her. Her him has plenty of room for your fur baby to play and has a big outside area as well for the dogs to run around and take potty breaks. She is so nice & very understanding and also keeps updates with video & pictures we well. 🩷”
“My dog was well taken care of and would definitely book again! Thank you for taking excellent care of my furkid and welcoming him into your home. I truly appreciated the updates and photos since this was my first time leaving my dog with anyone since we usually take him everywhere with us, but we couldn't this time. I can tell he enjoyed his stay! Thanks a million!”
“This was our first time using Tara as a sitter and we were very happy with the experience. Tara was professional and clearly knew how to care for and interact with Brandy who is a little timid around new people. Tara worked with Brandy to get her comfortable with a new routine, and showed resourcefulness in getting Brandy to take her meds and be comfortable eating in a new environment. Tara sent us pictures and kept us informed about Brandy's progress. Brandy clearly felt comfortable and content under Tara's care. We will definitely be having Tara care for Brandy again!”
“Rhett and Sadie stayed a weekend here for the second time and they loved it! Just like last time, we picked them up and could tell they were happy and relaxed and right at home! The sitters are great communicators and we highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Morgann was great with our dog and provided daily updates. She even offered to drop him off since we didnt make it back in time to pick him up at the set time. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Agus and his buddy, Harry Potter, are our go-to boarding hosts. They are both laid back, friendly and accommodating. My pup is always excited to be dropped off at Agus's place and runs inside without a backward glance. He is very pooped and happy when I collect him at the end of his stay with them. Agus is very comfortable handling my pup, and I trust Agus to care well for him. We always look forward to our next visit with Agus and Harry.”
