“I deeply appreciate Brittany's excellent care of our pup Sox. Sox experiences a lot of separation anxiety, so seeing her completely at ease means a lot! We will definitely book again! ❤️”
“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every pet like they're my own. I've had a few pups of my own over the years, including my precious baby, Marlowe, who has taught me so much about patience, training, and the unconditional love our pets give us. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow any special instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, and exercise needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I would be honored to give them the same love, attention, and care l'd want for my own pets. I'm currently a stay-at-home wife, so I'm home most of the day and able to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone for more than 2-4 hours. Cur home is a cozy, pet-friendly single-family home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. We have a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home that's clean, comfortable, and designed with our own dog, Marlowe, in mind. Marlowe is an almost 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix who is incredibly friendly and loves meeting other dogs. We allow her on the furniture and bed because she's part of our family, but she usually chooses to sleep in her crate with the door open. We also take safety seriously by "Marlowe-proofing" areas of our home and limiting access to certain rooms when we're away. It's just my husband and me in the home, creating a calm, low-stress environment for visiting pets. While our neighborhood isn't ideal for long walks, we love taking dogs on walks in downtown areas for new sights, smells, and exercise. Whether your pup enjoys playtime in our fenced yard or relaxing indoors, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and care while they're with us.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Corn and Ella received from Rachel! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving your dogs behind, but Rachel made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was fantastic from start to finish—we received regular, reassuring updates and loved seeing how content they were. Most importantly, both dogs were incredibly happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring, we cannot recommend Rachel enough. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jamie was literally amazing! Zulu enjoyed her time THOROUGHLY! I got picture and text updates frequently on a daily basis and I think she even cut my dogs nails lol which if so was very thoughtful and highly appreciated! She came back a happy pup and also whined a little when Jamie left so we’ll definitely be returning clients! Love, Love, Loveee Jamie!”
“Ashley help our grumpy old Westie feel right at home. He was so comfortable he wanted to stay! She sent updates asked questions and made us feel we good about leaving him with her. We will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!”
“Carrie is wonderful with my old, eccentric girl. She sends lots of updates and pics/videos, so I know my little girl is thriving. This was Minnie’s second stay with Carrie, and she settled in quickly. It’s such a relief to find such a perfect second home for our little Min!”
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now. We work from home so your pup will rarely be on their own. We also have a fenced back yard so they can play outside safely! We have three daughters that love to play with dogs so they will keep them perfectly entertained. We enjoy family walks in our neighborhood that your pup would join us on! We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.
“Itzel was so great with our pup. She was very communicative and sent pics every day. We could tell she loved him and he was taken care of while he was there. Thanks so much!”
“Thank you Anamika for taking care of Rio. He came home so happy and tired. All the pics and updates you sent me were just awesome. Thank you and I would surely use her again.”
“Lipika and her husband did great with my pup for the past week. They allowed her to feel comfortable and safe. My pup had friends to play with while she was there and I think she enjoyed her stay quite a bit. They accomodated my delayed flight and when I picked up my pup she was nicely brushed and a happy girl. I would be very happy to board with them again in the future.”
“Ava was outstanding! She and her family treated my dog like family; I got consistent updates and plenty of great pictures. Sorry this is long overdue we boarded back in December for a vacation and would definitely recommend them.”
About: I provide a true home-away-from-home experience. I intentionally keep the number of boarding dogs small so every guest receives personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. Dogs stay in a safe, family environment instead of a crowded boarding facility, and I treat every dog like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, so I provide daily photo updates and make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for throughout their stay. I am currently in nursing school and have a pretty flexible schedule. Thankfully, a lot of my schooling is done from home with the exception of in person clinicals, but your furry friend will always have someone here with them! Rather than caring for large groups of dogs, I host only one family’s dogs at a time. This creates a calmer, safer environment and allows me to provide truly personalized care. Guests enjoy supervised play in a securely fenced yard, plenty of indoor time, and the same love and attention my own dogs receive. My goal is for you to relax on your trip knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and right at home.
“Leslye has been heaven sent for my pup and I. She’s truly amazing. Polos tail immediately begins to wag when he knows he’s there ; which means comfort. We’ve used her over and over again and hopefully that won’t change. Thanks Leslye for all that you do to accommodate our last minute lives. Thank you for taking Polo into your home at ease.”
“Jasmine was the absolute best. I would totally recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter. I have never used a pet sitter before and Jasmine made me feel completely confident that my pup was going to be safe and comfortable with her. She provided photos to allow us to see how the puppy’s day was going and my puppy looked very happy and calm. I am glad that this site has brought me to her. I am very satisfied with the service I received. Great job Jasmine I truly appreciate you.”
“Norma is awesome!! She is so accommodating to your schedule, keeps you well informed with lots of pictures and status updates and clearly loves what she does! Baker made some great new friends and came home exhausted after his long weekend with Norma.”
“Had last minute plans & she accommodated me with a quick turn around & her service is great! She keeps you updated about your pet & offers great grooming services. I would rebook!”
“Kevin had availability as we decided on a spur-of-the-moment trip out of town. He was FANTASTIC with our two girls. Sent pics/videos of our pups playing. Took them out for car rides and to go play with his mom’s dogs (after asking if they are good with other dogs, of course). Would recommend 100x over. Our girls loved him. Thanks, Kevin!!”

“Traveling for business always has its measure of stress but not having to worry about the care of the boys helped make the week productive and effective. Amanda did a wonderful job and kept me updated along the way. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Caitlin was amazing! She sent me updated photos and videos of my Cle-girl everyday while I was on vacation. She was tentative and patient and gave great updates. Would highly recommend her!”
“Alyssa has cat sit for me twice now and has gone above and beyond to make sure my babies are well loved and taken care of while I was away! If you have the opportunity to book with her, you should!!”
“Kathy took really good care of my Snickers <3 This was my first time leaving her alone and I was nervous, but it went well and she seems very well taken care of. I’m so happy about how this went and will definitely ask for Kathy again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have cats of my own and have experience fostering, so I understand the patience and care that pets need to adjust and thrive. I work a full-time job, but I make pet care a priority and will always be upfront about my availability. My husband is also a dependable animal lover who is happy to help when appropriate, so your pets will always receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like family while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
“Absolutely consider Ava for watching your pets and house! My wife and I were out of town for a week and Ava took excellent care of our two cats and our home. She provided frequent updates on both cats which we greatly appreciated. Ava is very professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking her again the in the future.”
“Chase did everything we asked and our dogs were well taken care of. I appreciated how gentle he was in response to our girly’s barking. He spent extra time with them the first night and communicated when he had schedule changes.”
“Mackenzie was absolutely great! Our cat Luna is very anxious with new people and Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of her. While Luna was initially wary and hiding under our bed, by the end of our booking she was out with Mackenzie, eating treats, getting brushed and pet, and she looked like she was having an incredible time. Communication with Mackenzie was wonderful and she kept us updated with lots of great information and photos!! We cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a veterinary assistant and the one they look for when they need a cat whisperer. I’m very confident in administering medications, including insulin. I love each and every cat I meet as if they’re my very own.
“I’m so glad we found Lyndsey to check on our kitten while we went out of town for a few days. She updated us each day, sent pictures, and went above and beyond (thank you smoke detector for conveniently dying while we were gone haha). We look forward to using her again in the future!”
“What can I say? Ashley K. is the greatest when it comes to taking care of my cats. I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because I knew that Theo and Lena were in good hands and I did not have to worry about their care. Thanks again Ashley, you are my go-to-person for my cat sitting. You're the best!”
“Jeremy is great! Took good care of my two cats while I was out of town. My girl cat was even social with him and she really never likes to come out for anyone that isn’t me (she will eat once the sitter leaves). Great communication.”
“I used Taylor for my two cats while I was out of town and everything was done as I requested. I had sent her a few messages about how to get in the house. And I left her a sheet of instructions. I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was Hubert's and Presley's first time using Rover, and Brandon was able to take our request with just a week's notice. Presley tends to be more anxious, but he was comfortable and settled in after just two days! Brandon kept us updated with numerous photos, reassuring us that our boys were in excellent hands. We will definitely be booking again next time!”
About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
“Paula did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for two weeks. She sent regular updates, including photos. I’d definitely recommend her to others looking for a sitter!!”

“Kathy is so sweet & very attentive with my dog. She's also great at communication, which I've found to be a rare occurrence on Rover. She cares for other dogs while keeping mine, but I would never know if she hadn't told me! She sends pics throughout the day & promptly updates time cards. She's so compassionate & truly cares for my fur baby's wellbeing. I highly recommend Kathy!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lyndsey watching our 10-week-old puppy. She attached daily pictures for us to see what our pup was up to and gave daily updates at pick-up of how her day had gone. Our pup was loved not only by Lyndsey but also her two young children and playful dog of her own. We brought the basics but Lyndsey had everything else to keep our puppy comfortable and busy. We would absolutely trust Lyndsey to watch our pup again.”

“Ava did a great job watching Tofu while we were away during the day. She sent updates on how he was settling in. She was on time and had no problem communicating. Will definitely consider booking again and recommend her.”

About: I work fully from home and since I will be home more this year, I'd love to care for your pets! I have experience with petsitting on rover during my college years, both with boarding and drop-ins, and have house-sat in the past couple of years outside of Rover. I have 3 cats myself but I have also had pets since I was a child including a dog, horse, and chinchilla. For house sitting my partner and I are both available for overnights, especially with multiple dogs. I am a remote worker and have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed throughout the day for check-ins or housesitting and petsitting stays. I will treat your pets like my own. I wash my cats bowls every day after they eat, fill up their water and make sure it's clean, keep the litter clean, and make sure to play with them and give them enough attention. For dogs I will also make sure to regularly let them out, or walk them. I'm also a plant mom and can water your plants if needed.
About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you find what you are looking for here, and please feel free to reach out if you have further inquiries. I typically to respond to customers (both present and potential!) within 30 minutes between the hours of 7 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. My name is Samm, I am 29 years old & live in downtown Kannapolis, and I'm the licensed & insured sitter you've been searching for! While there are many great sitters on Rover, what sets me aside from others is I am licensed and insured (privately- beyond the "Rover Guarantee"). Your safest and most secure bet for your pet will always be with me- check out my reviews! I have been professionally using Rover since 2015. I built my client base in Charlotte and loved every single one of my clients- both pups and parents. I took a hiatus due to COVID and moved from south Charlotte to Kannapolis, and am now opening my services back up to welcome in new clients in the area. While many Rover sitters specialize in dogs, I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to pets- dogs, cats, fish (saltwater and freshwater tanks), birds (including fowl such as chickens, geese, ducks, etc.), reptiles and amphibians (yes even snakes!) so rest assured that whatever pets you have, they will be in loving and experienced hands when in my care. While I am not a paid dog trainer, I do love to work with my clients puppies (young and old) on reinforcing their training as per their parents desires. This ranges from crate training to leash pulling to general obedience, and everything in between. I understand that as a pet parent, you know best for your pup and their home environment. Please do not be afraid to add in special "requests" as such when booking with me. I have a vast amount of experience with senior dogs and dogs who live with disabilities. I am able to administer medications in a timely manner (pills, liquids, and injections) when required, and I am trained in first aid in the event of an emergency. I am currently studying engineering and have a flexible schedule outside of my studies. I would love to fill my spare time doting on your pets! 9 times out of 10, I am able to arrange to accommodate your schedule when given a sufficient notice. I am currently no longer offering overnights or daycare to new clients at my home, as we now have chickens and ducks as pets in our backyard. While our birds are acclimated and unphased by our dogs, there is always a possibility that our birds can trigger a prey drive in unacquainted dogs. While I can survive the heartache of losing a chicken (EVERYTHING hunts chickens around here!), chicken bones can pose a very serious and potentially deadly threat to dogs when ingested. So, for everyone's safety, I am currently only offering services outside of my home. As such, I am available for drop-in visits in your home, walks, as well as house sitting. Please read on for what you can expect out of each type of visit in your home, and as always, reach out at any time for further information if needed. Walks: I offer 30 minute or 1 hour walks. This service is perfect for those who work or are out of the house, but need someone to help with making sure their pet gets exercise and a potty break. 30 minute walks are typically 0.5 miles to 1 mile in distance, sometimes more or less depending upon your dogs size and energy levels. A 1 hour walk is usually ~2 miles. During these visits, my main priority is getting your dog outside and nicely tired out so you can enjoy your day uninterrupted. I will make sure your dog gets a potty break while we are out, so all you have to worry about afterwards is where your dog wants to take their nap :) Drop-In Visits: I currently offer 30 minute and 1 hour drop-in visits. This is typically what an owner will book me for if they are out of town and need a sitter to drop in and make sure the household and pets are doing well. During this time, my first priority is medication administration, if applicable. Second to that in priority is ensuring your pup gets to relieve themselves. Please specify if you prefer your dog use your yard, or if you would like for us to take a stroll around the neighborhood. I take 15-20 minutes of walk or backyard play for 30 minute visits, and about 30-40 minutes for hour visits. The remainder of my visit will be to replenish food and water, give treats, pets, and attention, and clean up any messes that may have occurred. Please note that this is MY general outline- if you have a different routine you'd like me to follow that works better for you and your pet, simply notify me of such and I will be more than happy to follow your procedures. House Sitting: I will be staying overnight in your home and provide daily care and company for your pets and home. I will provide my own food, toiletries, personal items, etc., so you will only have to worry about and focus on gathering what your pet needs while you are away. Please note that I will not be at your home 24 hours a day. I will likely have to leave for class or to tend to my pets at home. If you need constant care at home for your pet, I am able to arrange for that to happen at an additional cost- please just let me know in your original booking inquiry. With a house sitting booking, you can expect me to perform all the everyday activities your pet requires. This includes timely administration of medications, sticking to your desired feeding routine, and as many walks and playtimes as you desire. Please let me know the desired duration of walks/play as I do not want to overexert your pet, or alternatively, not give them enough exercise. Light housekeeping will be performed- plants will be watered, mail will be taken in daily, sweeping/vacuuming fur and dirt, and general cleaning up after your pet in the event of messes. I make sure that your home is in the same or better condition as when you left it. I do not smoke or drink and will not be bringing unauthorized persons onto your property. Typically I send one update (accompanied by pet photos) per day around the afternoon. If you would like more- no problem! Just inform me of such and I am happy to keep you as much in-the-loop as you desire.
About: My approach to pet care is rooted in adaptability. Whether providing a high-intensity trek for an energetic puppy or a gentle, patient stroll for a senior companion, I tailor every outing to the specific needs of the breed and temperament. With a personal daily average of 15,000 steps, I am undeterred by the elements and committed to maintaining your pet's routine with professional consistency. From powerful working breeds to delicate companions, I provide a reliable, high-standard experience for every dog in my care. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to offer exceptionally flexible and open availability for your feline and canine companions. Because I do not have a traditional 9-to-5 commitment, I am able to fully integrate into your pet’s established schedule, ensuring they receive meals, exercise, and attention exactly when they expect them. I pride myself on being a reliable, full-time presence, undeterred by early mornings or late evenings, to maintain the consistency your pet needs to thrive while you are away. I exclusively offer care within the comfort and familiarity of your own home to minimize stress for your pets. I approach pet sitting with a high level of diligence and a detail-oriented mindset, taking the responsibility of following your specific household routines and safety protocols very seriously. Whether it is adhering to a precise medical regimen, maintaining strict leash safety during our walks, or providing quiet, intuitive companionship for your cats, my goal is to provide a secure, high-standard environment where your pet feels prioritized and safe.
About: I have always been around various animals growing up, and personally had cats and dogs in my family who were/are practically my “fur” siblings, who I helped care for. At 15 I started watching other people’s pets when they would go out of town for the night or weekend. I still help care for my parent’s pets, including my 15-year-old pit-lab mix who just likes to relax and has to take certain medicines, and a 2-year-old cat who thinks she’s still a kitten and is highly energetic. I personally have two cats too, and I still regularly pet sit for various animals of various ages for friends and family! I am currently working full time in the Charlotte area but if I have enough notice I am able to work from home for house sitting during the day! Otherwise I can do drop ins, night house sittings and weekend house sittings :) I will make sure to get any and all questions or concerns addressed to make sure your pet receives the best care possible while they’re with me, including medications and times for those medications, feeding amounts and times, specific walking areas, certain tasks or expectations needed for your pet, etc.

“I deeply appreciate Brittany's excellent care of our pup Sox. Sox experiences a lot of separation anxiety, so seeing her completely at ease means a lot! We will definitely book again! ❤️”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every pet like they're my own. I've had a few pups of my own over the years, including my precious baby, Marlowe, who has taught me so much about patience, training, and the unconditional love our pets give us. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow any special instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, and exercise needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I would be honored to give them the same love, attention, and care l'd want for my own pets. I'm currently a stay-at-home wife, so I'm home most of the day and able to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone for more than 2-4 hours. Cur home is a cozy, pet-friendly single-family home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. We have a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home that's clean, comfortable, and designed with our own dog, Marlowe, in mind. Marlowe is an almost 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix who is incredibly friendly and loves meeting other dogs. We allow her on the furniture and bed because she's part of our family, but she usually chooses to sleep in her crate with the door open. We also take safety seriously by "Marlowe-proofing" areas of our home and limiting access to certain rooms when we're away. It's just my husband and me in the home, creating a calm, low-stress environment for visiting pets. While our neighborhood isn't ideal for long walks, we love taking dogs on walks in downtown areas for new sights, smells, and exercise. Whether your pup enjoys playtime in our fenced yard or relaxing indoors, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and care while they're with us.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Corn and Ella received from Rachel! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving your dogs behind, but Rachel made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was fantastic from start to finish—we received regular, reassuring updates and loved seeing how content they were. Most importantly, both dogs were incredibly happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring, we cannot recommend Rachel enough. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jamie was literally amazing! Zulu enjoyed her time THOROUGHLY! I got picture and text updates frequently on a daily basis and I think she even cut my dogs nails lol which if so was very thoughtful and highly appreciated! She came back a happy pup and also whined a little when Jamie left so we’ll definitely be returning clients! Love, Love, Loveee Jamie!”
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now. We work from home so your pup will rarely be on their own. We also have a fenced back yard so they can play outside safely! We have three daughters that love to play with dogs so they will keep them perfectly entertained. We enjoy family walks in our neighborhood that your pup would join us on! We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.
“Itzel was so great with our pup. She was very communicative and sent pics every day. We could tell she loved him and he was taken care of while he was there. Thanks so much!”
“Thank you Anamika for taking care of Rio. He came home so happy and tired. All the pics and updates you sent me were just awesome. Thank you and I would surely use her again.”
“Lipika and her husband did great with my pup for the past week. They allowed her to feel comfortable and safe. My pup had friends to play with while she was there and I think she enjoyed her stay quite a bit. They accomodated my delayed flight and when I picked up my pup she was nicely brushed and a happy girl. I would be very happy to board with them again in the future.”
About: I provide a true home-away-from-home experience. I intentionally keep the number of boarding dogs small so every guest receives personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. Dogs stay in a safe, family environment instead of a crowded boarding facility, and I treat every dog like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, so I provide daily photo updates and make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for throughout their stay. I am currently in nursing school and have a pretty flexible schedule. Thankfully, a lot of my schooling is done from home with the exception of in person clinicals, but your furry friend will always have someone here with them! Rather than caring for large groups of dogs, I host only one family’s dogs at a time. This creates a calmer, safer environment and allows me to provide truly personalized care. Guests enjoy supervised play in a securely fenced yard, plenty of indoor time, and the same love and attention my own dogs receive. My goal is for you to relax on your trip knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and right at home.
“Norma is awesome!! She is so accommodating to your schedule, keeps you well informed with lots of pictures and status updates and clearly loves what she does! Baker made some great new friends and came home exhausted after his long weekend with Norma.”
“Kevin had availability as we decided on a spur-of-the-moment trip out of town. He was FANTASTIC with our two girls. Sent pics/videos of our pups playing. Took them out for car rides and to go play with his mom’s dogs (after asking if they are good with other dogs, of course). Would recommend 100x over. Our girls loved him. Thanks, Kevin!!”
“Sindhu and her family loved our boys like their own. She sent lots of pictures and a video, and our pups were clearly having a great time! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“We’ll be our go to! The dogs loved her and she treated the pups with so much love. Kept us updated with texts pictures and was flexible with our schedules. Absolutely loved McKenna!”
“Bri and her family love our dog, Cooper. We had an almost two week trip and we knew that Cooper was in great hands. We're already planning our next booking!”
“Kobe had a great time with his friends at Stacey’s home. He gets to play and run around and have fun with fur buddies of all sizes. I’m at peace with being temporarily separated from Kobe while he is with Stacey; I know he is being well cared for.”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Great experience! She was very flexible and took great care of William. He did very well on his extended visit and she was easy to communicate and work with would totally book this sitter again!”
