“My experience with John and Rover was wonderful. I received updates daily that includes pictures. John was very accommodating. Not only did we have a happy vacation but our dog did also! Definitely recommend”
“Eric and family are amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Eric went out of his way to make us comfortable and accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Courtney was great! Super laid back and clearly loves dogs. Our dog is blind. So he is really scared around other animals. Amazingly, Courtney had Bentley hanging out with all 3 of her dogs. We so appreciated your kind, fun, and great care of Bentley. If I'm being honest, I think Bentley would rather live at Courtney's house. He's been depressed ever since his stay ended :)”
“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”
“We have used Maria several times for our dog Pepper and every time Pepper has a great time. Staying at Maria’s is like a puppy vacation resort. My wife and I can’t recommend Maria enough.”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“I was very happy with Kathleen's service. I wanted input from my furbaby, Spike, about his stay, but he isn't very conversational! LOL But the picture Kathleen sent me of with him stretched out on her sofa, told me he was just fine. I'm look forward to working with her again in the future. Thanks, Kathleen!”
“Cassy & Tradd are a great family and took very good care of our two fur babies. They kept us well informed during their stay. We feel very comfortable leaving them for our next vacation.”
“Lily had another wonderful stay with Amanda! I'm pretty sure she thinks of it as her home away from home. : ) From the pics I can see Lily makes herself right at home there and looks so happy and comfy. We are so grateful for Amanda and all the attention she gives Lily to make her feel so welcomed in her home.”
“Christianna was so great to my babies. Took them at the last minute and handled unsure/fearful cat with love and care. Will 100% use her services again if I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again Christianna!”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
“This is the second time I’ve left my dog with Eugene. Atlas always seems to be well cared for there and I always receive photos from him of Atlas enjoying fetch or running around his giant property. Highly recommend.”
“Sabrina and her assistant, Lauren, were so warm and welcoming. Mabel, our cockapoo, ran right into the house at drop off - just a few days after our meet and greet. It was definitely an easy experience and I'd highly recommend Sabrina. Thank you!”
“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”
“Shannon was fantastic! She provided many pictures during our trip. I could tell that my two pups felt right at home. Easy communication and she had all our dogs’ things ready to go when we arrived, which was so nice since our flight was delayed coming home and we were very tired. I will definitely be using Shannon again in the future.”
“The best she did everything to accommodate my Trudy. She also went out her way to be available at the time I arrived from airport even though my flight was delayed. People don't understand how hard it can be planning a vacation or getting away when you have a pet, Vania was a lifesaver and Trudy enjoyed her stay as well.”
“We took yet another weekend trip with the kids and once again amber and Dane swooped in and saved the day by watching our dog Luca. When he got there after being there the first time he leaped out of the car and ran to them wagging his tail so excited. Made me the happiest dog mom in the world to know he was that excited to see them again. The entire weekend I received multiple video updates and photos of Luca playing and wrestling having pool parties having the time of his life! Y’all I cannot rave enough these people are your people to watch your dog!! ❤️”
“Tina did such a fantastic job with our dog Bruno. She made sure to update us daily on Bruno and really went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable during his stay. We will definitely be reaching out to Tina the next time we need to go out of town again!”

About: No discrimination here! All dogs need love, the young, the mature, and the occasional window licker too. I have always had a dog in my life, from my Childhood pet to my very own prince Charming. Our house is extremely dog friendly, we sit on a little under an acre of fenced in land. The garage is set up with 2 dog doors for their convenience. Inside the house we have built in gates to separate guests if needed. Not all dogs get along... My services include overnight boarding, and walking for now. We have 4 dogs of our own, which are well socialized and love meeting new friends! Onyx, is our lovable Lab middle child. Sassafras is a sweetheart, we were told she is a German Shepard mix. Onyx and Sassafras are the Pack Ambassadors, that Meet and Greet our house guests first. Charlie is an older Pitbull that keeps to herself, and Tucker doesn't know how big he is, and can be a little overwhelming. Additional Fees: Unavailable for a Meet & Greet - $25.00 Unaltered (not spayed or neutered) $45.00 Last Minute Booking (within 4 days of stay) - $75.00 I work for AMK9, a Police & Military Dog training facility in Moyock, NC. When I am away from the house my boyfriend is usually home, so your pups are always being looked after. Occasionally, we do need to run out, but my guests are never alone for very long. When we are gone, everyone is kept separate for safety. I take safety very seriously, for myself, my pups and most importantly your fur babies. I have a large fenced in yard, and the ability to keep pups separated in the event that personalities don't mesh well.
About: I have taken care of animals that I have owned and those of friends and family for most of my life! No cat or dog is too big or too small! I currently have 2 GSDs and 3 cats so high-energy animals are welcome! I have a full time job but I am available just about everyday during the week and all day on weekends most of the time! With the animals currently in my home, I am not offering boarding at this time but I am more than happy to do drop ins and walks as needed!
“Alexandra and her husband came over to meet my dachshund to make sure she is comfortable with them- they were very sweet and caring towards her I would definitely book them again:)”
“Stephen has been really amazing with our 3 cats. They can be shy but he managed to find them and take pictures to send us while away. They started to warm up to him. Very happy with the services provided! Will 100% book him again.”
“A HUGE weight was lifted while we were gone this holiday season using Jessica’s services to watch our two cats. She is kind, caring, and prompt. She went out of her way to come and meet our boys and better understand our needs. She exceeded our expectations and even took the time to play and give attention. You won’t be disappointed and there’s a reason for all these 5-star reviews - she’ll treat your babies like her very own and then some. Thank you again, Jessica!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I focus on creating a stress-free experience while you’re away. During each visit, I ensure your cat is fed on schedule, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the right balance of attention—whether that’s playtime, affection, or simply quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Cleanliness, reliability, and clear communication are my top priorities. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your cat comfortable ➡️ Keep your home clean ➡️ Give you total peace of mind while you’re away
About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I helped watch and care for neighbors’ and friends’ pets, which taught me how meaningful—and rewarding—pet care truly is. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to three animals of my own, and I also have two young children, which has deepened my patience, attentiveness, and nurturing approach to caregiving. I believe in more than just meeting an animal’s basic needs—I strive to provide enrichment, comfort, and a happy, loving environment. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, general grooming, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and using positive reinforcement training. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m very flexible with my schedule! My little man will be with me during any morning or day time visits so animals must be okay with children. I’m very attentive with my own animals. I make sure they don’t get into anything and pay close attention to their needs. In any circumstance I would provide the same level of care to someone else’s pet.
About: With several years of cat sitting experience I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family by providing check-ins, feeding, and playtime. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable in their own environment with their own routine, and I’ll treat your Cat/cats with the same care and patience I’d give my own.
“Sabrina saved the day when my neighbor couldn't watch my dogs for a night. She followed directions to a T and the dogs seemed very happy when I got home later that night.”
About: Hi, I’m Macee! I’ve been pet sitting for several years and love caring for animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, including senior pets. Whether it’s overnight stays, drop-ins, walks, or medication, I’ll make sure your pets are cared for like my own! I work full-time during the week, but I am available before and after work, on weekends, and for overnight stays. I make pet care a priority and always ensure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or bedtime routines, I strive to keep pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with respect.
About: Hello! My name is Emma and my family currently own seven dogs ranging from various sizes. We have a 10lb teacup doodle to a 80lb golden retriever. I have actually raised 5 of them from when they were puppies to now. I have been dog sitting my own dogs from 6-7 years now when my parents go on vacation for a week or longer. I feed them, take them on walks and such. I also started accepting other clients 4-5 years back for over night stays or week stays. I don’t leave the dogs alone unless I have work or school. I also walk my friends’ dogs when they get busy so I have a lot of experience. I am unable to offer for pets to stay at my place because I have an apartment but I do not mind staying over to make sure your dog(s) are well taken care of. I always make sure to follow the schedule given to me by the owners and make sure that they get plenty of exercises and play time. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take them out and watch after your dogs. I usually let them out in the morning around 6ish for the first time and will feed them around 8ish. After that I let them out whenever they went when I’m at home or about every 3-4 hours if I’m working. I feed them around 5/6pm and let them out one last time around midnight if needed. I also prefer to take walks early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid other dogs and avoid the heat. I don’t offer to board dogs in my apartment but at the client’s home, I do think the dogs are more used to and know what they can and can’t do. I will do my best to make sure there aren’t harm that will come to them but usually a fenced in yard or I can take them out on a leash as needed. I also can put them in crates as needed but usually that is not a problem.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life I have a pig and chickens as well Throughout my lifetime my last position was a teacher taking care of kids in a certified environment I’m currently a full-time phD student and I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I have recently left a full-time teaching position to concentrate on my studies and will enjoy brakes as I earn a little extra money while loving on your fur babies I have a fenced in yard for dogs and a cat and a pig and some chickens your dogs will be separate from my brood.

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Kathleen is so great, she kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent videos of Lola! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again!”
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
“Rhonda was warm and friendly! It seems that Dakota had a very interesting visit with her. This was the first time we had him to a sitter. He came home exhausted and happy!!”
“My husband and I recently moved to the Elizabeth City area and we don't know anyone here. Last minute my husband was able to attend an event with me a few hours away. I quickly scrambled to find someone to sit our furbabies. I messaged Christianna and she quickly got back to me saying she could watch them. Since I'm a very nervous dog mom and we've had bad experiences hiring a dog sitter online (we used a different website at that time), she agreed to come meet us the night before and the dogs. We dropped the dogs off Saturday morning and she was instantly great with them. They walked right into her house with no fear. Throughout the day she sent updates and photos (that definitely put my mind at ease and I was able to focus on the event I was attending). She was great with them all day and they came home super tired and ready for bed! :) We will definitely book with Christianna again.”

About: I have been a babysitter for over 20 years. Most of the families I worked with had pets, dogs or cats. I have had cats of my own over the years but now I help my mom take care of her 2 dogs. I recently moved to Newport News so I have a completely open schedule. I am already cooking fresh food for my mom's dogs and walking them regularly. Come join us. I prepare meals for my mom's dogs weekly. I research foods they can and cannot have to make sure they are happy and healthy. I also walk them 3 times a day minimum. There is a dog park on the premises but they mostly just sniff around :).
“Eugene is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He watched Brinkley for us (2nd time) while we took a quick day trip. Brinkley was so excited to see Eugene when we arrived, and I know he had a fun day. Thanks again, Eugene!”
“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”

“My dog is extremely attached to me, so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter. However, Akemi has the disposition and experience I was pretty sure would work for my dog, and I was right! Akemi has been fantastic about entertaining my dog, so she isn't so sad while also creating such a loving and positive environment for my dog that my dog now adores her too! She was able to quickly bond with my dog making it so my dog and I both feel comfortable leaving her with Akemi. Akemi is quickly responsive to messages and always sends a detailed report with plenty of pictures after each session. I feel confident I am leaving my dog in secure and loving hands.”

About: I've been an animal lover all of my life. I had cats for most of my childhood and early adulthood. They were my best buddies who cuddled and slept with me, as well as posed for drawings and paintings. About 18 years ago I adopted a pit mix, named Humble. He was the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He accompanied me on camping and hiking trips in Maine. He passed away a few years ago. Now I'm the lucky mom of a rescue dog named Chance. He is an 8 year old undetermined breed. He may be a Doxie mixed with Papillion. I rescued him from the streets of China. I was working as an ESL teacher in Shenzhen,China at the time. He is one of my best friends and I spoil him with lots of love, treats and walks. I am a certified yoga teacher, artist and pet care provider. I started out pet sitting as a side business to earn some extra money, but it has become so much more than that. It is such a rewarding job and a great honor to care for so many beautiful animals! I will take great care of your fur babies and your home. You can have peace of mind with me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am usually available most week days and weekends ( except the ones marked off my calendar), for house sitting and drop in visits. I can walk your dogs and keep the house and yard picked up during my stays. I will spoil your pets with lots of love and attention Safety is always my first priority. I never leave pets unattended outside, make sure harnesses and collars are secure during walks, and never feed them anything but their food. I will give them your treats if you give me permission. I also make sure the floors and rugs if the home are kept clean and that their is nothing dangerous around that they could eat .. I am Extra careful!

About: Since I was 10, I've always loved watching and caring for dogs and other animals. I started by helping neighbors with their pets—feeding them, taking them for walks, and making sure they felt safe and happy while their owners were away. Over the years, I've learned to understand animals' moods and needs, whether they're playful, shy, or anxious. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm environment for pets. Because of this, I would be a great sitter—I know how to keep animals comfortable and cared for, making sure they get the attention and love they deserve when their owners can't be there. No matter the animal i’ll be there for them! I worked at a pet store for over a year which taught me a lot about any sort of animals and their health. Since I already have a puppy with my own schedule, i’m totally used to juggling pet care! I know how to fit feeding, walks, playtime, and rest into my day, so adding care for another pet would just be a bit of extra love and attention. My experience with my own pup means i’m great at keeping routines steady and making sure every animal feels cared for. It fits naturally into my schedule because im already a pro at managing a furry friend’s needs! Besides my pup, I balance that’s with a box turtle, two hedgehogs, three leopard geckos, two cats, and at my parents house I take care of their two dogs, and two fresh water fish tanks. I can take care of animals in lots of ways depending on what they need. Whether it’s walking them to make sure they get exercise and fresh air, house sitting so they have company and someone to watch over them, or just stopping by to check on them to feed, play, and give them attention, I’m ready to help. I understand how important it is to keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of quite a few of close friends pets. Cats, Dogs, etc. I have such a big heart for all animals. I hope I can be a great fit for you and your family members.🐶🐱 I’m currently working part time. Looking to stay busy and do something I love! Pets are the best additions to our families and I find it very important to keep them feeling loved and occupied! I have a fenced in back yard, I keep them fed (3 times a day) , teach them tricks, give a ton of cuddles, and care for their every need to the best of my ability!
About: I have experience taking care of dogs from puppy stage to adult. I really enjoy playing and spending time with them. I have trained 3 dogs of our own from their puppy stage using positive reinforcement. Please give me a chance to take care of your baby! I am a military spouse and have lived in the area for over 2 years. My background before becoming a military spouse was a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and I worked with missing and exploited children. I have almost an acre of a fenced in yard. I also have 2 dogs, but will keep them separated and kenneled from your dog.
About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: Hi 🐾 My name is Juliana, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I graduated from NC State with a degree in Animal Science, where I built a solid foundation in animal health, behavior, and welfare. I also spent two years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting. During that time, I assisted with handling all different kinds of breeds, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable, especially in stressful situations. This taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly, and provide attentive, compassionate care to each unique animals needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. You can feel confident knowing your pet will receive safe, loving, and personalized care while you’re away, along with plenty of updates and peace of mind for you as I would want for my own pet! Right now, I’m in a transition period before shipping out for the Air Force, and I’d love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, trust, and environment of every pet that I care for, whether they are in my own home or in the client's home. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I take the time to thoroughly assess the environment and identify any potential hazards or risks. I make sure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable space to rest. Overall, my approach to caring for pets is centered on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness.
About: I like animals more than people and I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t make friends with! While I am new to Rover, caring for animals is not new to me. As a kid I helped my dad raise three litters of puppies, which taught me early on about responsibility, patience, and proper animal care. Over the years, I’ve always had anywhere from one to four dogs and one to two cats at a time. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently have or have had bunnies, turtles, fish, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and cows. I also have experience caring for and riding horses. I’ve helped with the birth of puppies, goats, and piglets. While I’m not a veterinarian nor do I have formal veterinary training - having owned and cared for a plethora of animal species, I have learned a lot about animals and gained a lot of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable caring for sick animals, administering basic medical care, and monitoring health concerns. Animals have always gravitated toward me — especially the shy, anxious, or less trusting. I’m patient, calm, and genuinely enjoy earning their trust. While your pets are my responsibility, they will be spoiled, loved, safe, and well cared for. I recently decided to leave my people-y career after 15 years. Again, I prefer animals to people so I can’t think of a better way to spend my newly acquired free time! My schedule is pretty open with a day or two notice. Your animal(s) and home will be loved, cared for, and respected. If there are any concerns or special requirements please let me know or leave detailed instructions. :)

“My experience with John and Rover was wonderful. I received updates daily that includes pictures. John was very accommodating. Not only did we have a happy vacation but our dog did also! Definitely recommend”
“Eric and family are amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Eric went out of his way to make us comfortable and accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Courtney was great! Super laid back and clearly loves dogs. Our dog is blind. So he is really scared around other animals. Amazingly, Courtney had Bentley hanging out with all 3 of her dogs. We so appreciated your kind, fun, and great care of Bentley. If I'm being honest, I think Bentley would rather live at Courtney's house. He's been depressed ever since his stay ended :)”
“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”
“We have used Maria several times for our dog Pepper and every time Pepper has a great time. Staying at Maria’s is like a puppy vacation resort. My wife and I can’t recommend Maria enough.”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“Christianna was so great to my babies. Took them at the last minute and handled unsure/fearful cat with love and care. Will 100% use her services again if I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again Christianna!”
“Shannon was fantastic! She provided many pictures during our trip. I could tell that my two pups felt right at home. Easy communication and she had all our dogs’ things ready to go when we arrived, which was so nice since our flight was delayed coming home and we were very tired. I will definitely be using Shannon again in the future.”
“The best she did everything to accommodate my Trudy. She also went out her way to be available at the time I arrived from airport even though my flight was delayed. People don't understand how hard it can be planning a vacation or getting away when you have a pet, Vania was a lifesaver and Trudy enjoyed her stay as well.”
“We took yet another weekend trip with the kids and once again amber and Dane swooped in and saved the day by watching our dog Luca. When he got there after being there the first time he leaped out of the car and ran to them wagging his tail so excited. Made me the happiest dog mom in the world to know he was that excited to see them again. The entire weekend I received multiple video updates and photos of Luca playing and wrestling having pool parties having the time of his life! Y’all I cannot rave enough these people are your people to watch your dog!! ❤️”
“My pup is 6 months old and very skittish with new people and surrounding, they were great with meeting him before hand a few times, and very patient with him. They sent me pictures almost everyday and took great care of my baby while we were gone.”
“Kathleen always takes excellent care of our dog. He loves it when he stays at her house. Thank you very much for always take good care of Parcero. You are the best.”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Megan was really good with our pup! She stayed for 2 nights with Megan and had a great time! Megan sent constant updates and pictures. So glad I decided to use Rover and not board my pup at a facility!”
“This was the best home for Sanji!!! You can tell this family loves animals and Sanji was the happiest here. Trust that Renata and her family will love you pet as their own.❤️”
“First time using Rover and I’m glad I was linked up with Sherry. She is very quick to response to questions and concerns. My puppy’s stay was very pleasant and I received daily pictures from her. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended!!!!!”
“It was Bandits 1st time away from us. Megan and her husband were very welcoming. They took great care of him. She very knowledgeable and loves all animals. If you need a sitter, look no further than Megan.”
