“I just wanna say thank you for keeping my Lola. I enjoy the pictures that were sent to me of her enjoying herself. My flight was canceled. I had to get a a flight the next day, which made me a couple hours late picking up Lola, but Tyreika understood….I will use Tyreika again thank you”
“Nikki and Branden were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Ziggy had such a great time playing and even got to meet new friends, which made me so happy to hear. They went above and beyond in caring for him making sure he was well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. It was clear that they treated Ziggy like part of their own family, not just a dog they were watching. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Their home environment was safe, clean, and perfect for dogs to feel relaxed and happy. Ziggy came back home content, well cared for, and honestly seemed like he didn’t want to leave! I highly recommend Nikki and Branden to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitters. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Geysi was awesome with our dog. She sent plenty of pics to show how happy he was. She also went out of her way to meet me to pick up and drop off our dog since my GPS was not cooperating. I will absolutely book again with Geysi!”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”
“This was my 1st time booking this sitter and she was AMAZING! She put my mind at ease by sending me lots of pictures and videos. That helped me to feel reassured that my dog was happy and safe. When I picked him up, he looked sad that he was leaving. I would definitely book again with her. Thank you for your service!”
About: **I do have access to Fort Bragg! :) I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From smalls puppies to mastiffs and cats to rats, birds, and more! My family and I have rescued and lovingly homed most of our previous pets, which has deepened my understanding of the unique needs and special care that pets sometimes require. I’ve developed patience and a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply cuddling (maybe my favorite part), I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and comfort. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority and I PROMISE to treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a full time online student working on my bachelor’s in Health Sciences! I’m available pretty much 24/7, and what better way to fill this time than by taking care of your fur babies?! Depending on your pet’s preferences, we’ll either enjoy cozy indoor playtime and cuddles or stay active with outdoor adventures. Your pet will be fed strictly according to their usual schedule, and my home offers plenty of comfortable spots for restful naps after walks. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s ideal for their wellbeing. If boarding at your home, I will maintain their regular routine while ensuring they receive plenty of love and engaging activities. Cleanliness is a priority for me, so if you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to provide complimentary cleaning services while your pet is resting or otherwise occupied, ensuring a fresh and healthy environment!
“Michel and her family did awesome keeping my baby boy for 10 days. She sent updates and text every morning and every night. She’s sent lots of pictures of my baby. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!! Will definitely be using her again. Such a loving family. My dog left happy and he had a great stay. 10 out of 10 😊😊”
“Our regular sitter wasn’t available last week, but thankfully Megan was one of the Rover-recommended sitters—and we are so grateful she was. The reviews are from real people! From the moment I sent my initial inquiry, she was responsive and stayed in touch. After the meet & greet, we knew it was a perfect fit. She took wonderful care of our boy, kept me updated throughout his visit, and sent the sweetest pictures. He’s well-loved at home, but we’re a busy family. She truly spoiled him, and now he’s going through withdrawals ♥️ lol.”
About: Hi, I'm Emily! I've been caring for animals for years and truly love getting to know new pets and their families. I currently have a beagle puppy named Ranger and a kitten named Rogue, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My experience with pet care started long before Rover. In high school, I volunteered at a local humane society and regularly pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. For the past few years, I've continued pet sitting through Rover and have cared for pets in Washington, North Dakota, and now North Carolina. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I know that every animal has unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion around, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and their fur babies, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! While I work full time as a child care specialist I do have the flexibility to do early morning and late afternoon (after 6pm) drop-in visits. My weekends are completely free. I have experience crating medium to large dogs and am able to handle any sized dog on leashes in public places in a safe way.
“Connie cared for our mixed poodle, Zoë, again while we were on vacation. We were so at ease knowing Zoë was in good hands. We highly recommend Connie for boarding your pet. Thanks Connie!”
“Kurt really went above and beyond for my pups and for me as well. When my travel for work got extended unexpectedly, he kept the pups for an additional day until his next client and wouldn’t even take extra payment for it. He even took them to my house for the drop off. Plus, throughout the stay, he took them on walks, to get treats from Starbucks and chick fil a, and took them with him on errands. He also spoiled them with new toys and treats! It was obvious that they were so well cared for and given every bit of love they would get from me while I was away. I was so appreciative of the great care Kurt provided, and the updates he sent me the whole time were really comforting since I could tell the pups were happy and getting so much love:) would highly recommend to anyone!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Myles! He was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond while caring for Arrow. He consistently sent pictures, videos, and detailed updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Arrow came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. If I wasn’t relocating, I would 100% continue using Myles without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive care! 🐾 A&A”
“Rey took great care of our senior dog and kept us informed the whole time we were away! She’s easy to work with and was very helpful with handling unexpected situations that came up.”

“Ericka was fantastic. My two babies were well taken care of and very happy. She even brought them a new toy and I saw my girl playing like I hadn’t seen in a long time! She was very willing to be flexible when I had an issue come up as well. Will definitely use Ericka again if I need a sitter.”
“Chloe was excellent with our cat! She was reliable and so easy to work with. We loved our daily updates and knowing our pet was being cared for while we were away.”
“Margaret did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She was awesome at communicating and keeping us informed of what was going on and sent very cute pictures of him while we were away.”

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing dog walking and pet sitting services for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. I am comfortable with a variety of temperaments, including shy, high-energy, and routine-driven pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I currently have two dogs and three cats, so daily care, feeding routines, exercise, and recognizing behavioral cues are all a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own.
About: Since 2016, I’ve provided personalized care for over 50 cat households. From daily visits to specialized medical needs, I have hands-on experience with everything from giving pills to administering shots. You can count on me to keep your cat comfortable, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
“Alyssa did what was asked and did it perfectly. She did drop ins on my 3 cats and they were all kept healthy and accounted for. Alyssa also kept all of my plants alive during a heat wave. Will definitely use her again”
About: I am an active triathlete, so your pet will have plenty of exercise and entertainment! My own dog is a pitbull mix, so I have experience with aggressive breeds and large breeds. My family dog I take care of when my parents travel is a senior, so I have experience with senior care. I work a hybrid schedule, and days I am home are very flexible as well as weekends. For a typical home sitting job I will do a morning walk and breakfast, midday walk during my lunch, and evening meal and walk. If your dog cannot sleep alone, I can bring them to my home to sleep in a large crate with a clean bed. I am very active, so whether you have a fenced in yard or a neighborhood or would allow me to drive your dog to a nearby trail, they'll have engagement while you are away. I am also proficient in belly rubs, so your dog will have cuddles and comfort. If your dog comes to my home, I have a fenced in yard they can run in while my dog enjoys his sunbathing. In my home dogs are crated while I am away for their safety.
“Alanna was great with my cat, Osmosis, who is very cautious. She was fantastic at communicating and sent me updates everyday so I never had to worry! Will definitely see if Alana is available when I need a pet sitter again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Vander
“Noni told me all I needed to know about this sitter when she acted like she didnt want to leave with me just yet ☹️lol! A very good sign that she not only felt safe but cared for at the same time. Juleysi comes highly recommended from me!”
“I've used them for boarding before and now Buttercup does Doggie daycare with them and I could not be happier. They are communicative and send updates. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Thank you both and your family for loving my Buttercup like she's one of your own!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Buddy stayed with Jacky for eight days, and from the very first day we knew he was in great hands. Every morning he was excited to go to her, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he felt with her. Jacky took wonderful care of him, kept him active, and made sure he felt safe and loved throughout his stay. It was such a relief knowing that Buddy was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and Buddy came home happy and tired every day. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention Jacky gave him and would trust her with Buddy again without hesitation. Highly recommended – 5 stars all the way”
About: I’m a huge animal lover 🥰 and have about 14 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, but mostly smaller breeds. I’ve been around dogs and helping take care of them since I was 11, and I enjoy giving the love, attention, and care they need. I also volunteered at an animals shelter for about 6 months, giving me the chance to work with dogs in need. We have about 4 dogs total in my family, so sometimes I will have 1, or 2, or none at home with me I am new to the city so as of right now, I am not employed. I have open availability to care for all of your pets needs. My weekly routine is pretty simple. I do computer work, play the game, call my family (literally almost every day) and work out from time to time. Animals tend to be pretty comfortable with me. I would love to hang out and spend some time with your pet, maybe watch a series together or go for a walk if the weather is right. I’m a Starbucks type of a girl, so pup cups are always an option
“Kiara was an excellent sitter for my French Bulldog. My French Bulldog was happy and comfortable with his surroundings. I look forward to Kiara watching my French Bulldog because, i know she cares and ensures that my French Bulldog will be taken care of. Thank You Very Much Kiara.”
“We were in town for business and needed a sitter for several hours. We were so lucky to find Laura! She took great care of our girl and made us feel comfortable with her home and environment and the obvious love she has for taking care of pups. We will definitely use her again next time we are in Fayetteville.”
“Super sweet couple that watched my pup for a few hours. He had a great time and was wore out from playing with their pup by the time I picked him up! Would absolutely let him go hang out again! Thanks again!”
About: Im Casey and I just moved back from Georgia. I work from home Sunday - Wednesday and I’m off Thursday, Friday and Saturday which allows me to stay home with the fur babies. I have experience with pups and cats, I currently have a cat, Addison/addicat, that I am turning the sunroom into a catio for. The sunroom faces the backyard and has all of the warm spots for window hammocks, cat trees, scratch posts, and everything else a cat could ever need and love. 🐾 I work from home during the week which gives me availability to care for your pets 24 hours without having to leave them alone while working. We have a fenced in yard that allows our pets to roam, run and play without being able to leave the yard and end up in places they should not be. Our backyard has been “puppy” proofed since getting Sophie.
“Nikki has been fantastic watching Frankie! She has plenty of other dogs for her to play with and she knows dogs really well so I trust her completely! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have daycare or additional training for their dogs.”
About: I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust. I am currently available during the week and most weekends to care for your pets; this includes drop in visits, walks and even training sessions. Safety of the pets in my care is of the utmost importance, whether I care for them in the client’s home, I am boarding them in my home or walking them in public. I will abide by city, county and state laws regarding the care and maintenance of your beloved pets.

Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

“Omgosh, Hailey is an Amazing Rover!!!! We are traveling food vendors, and Hailey was so accommodating with our crazy schedule, and even as our promoter change the schedule on us, we reached out to Haily 🐶 to see if she could change her hours to walk our Riley, and she was very willing and very accommodating. I felt our little guy was well taken care of with Hailey. We will definitely use her as our Rover next time we’re in the Butte area”
About: Puppies need time, patience, and most of all fun! Most of the time, puppies are stripped away from their families and are just looking for their pack. It is very important to create a safe environment and show love towards dogs. They are our protectors, and we are their caregivers I am retired. Although my husband is in the military, I do have free time most of the week. I am more than willing to be flexible and to also be a routine caregiver. For both dogs and cats, I do have two cats and one dog. I understand that while my pets are family, they are all individuals. I will take the time to learn each pet as an individual and not generalize their species.
About: I had a high-energy pointer/setter mix growing up and have always defaulted to caring for dogs as I did Jazzie--getting their energy out but knowing when they're tuckered. I commonly pet sit for my cousin and coworkers in Alaska where leashes were important to protect against wild animal encounters, so I can assure you I will be careful to get your pet home safe and happy! I currently work a mix of seasonal and rotational geology jobs in remote Alaska. My husband and I just moved here, so I'm finding a meaningful way to spend free time while staying active whenever I can! Happy to get out of the house when pets need! I am happy to follow detailed instructions on how you like your pet cared for including double checking all locks, gates, and fences. I will make sure they are properly leashed and a safe distance from others we meet on walks as well as providing as much or as little petting as they wish. I will treat them like my own and just hope to improve their day as they are improving mine.
About: I have horses, dogs, cats, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am very detailed oriented and very good with following any and all directions you may have for your animals.

My animals are my babies and I understand yours are too. I have great recommendations and am very detailed oriented. I understand the risks with all animals and will make sure that your animal is properly cared for.

About: I personally have 3 dogs, 1 husky, 1 pittbull, and 1 chihuahua. I have had dogs growing up and have often dog sat for family and friends. I am a responsible 18 year old who just graduated from early college and am looking for jobs to keep me busy this summer. I am currently also working part-time so if I am given enough notice I work around my schedule to pet or house sit any day and time. When caring for clients animals I tend to give them a lot of attention and follow any rules given regarding feeding and/or house rules. When house sitting I tend to not mess with owners things and just keep to one space.

About: I have access to Ft. Liberty😊 I have taken care of friends and families animals since I was a child as well as two cats of my family's. I've had a family dog for about 10 years who loves to go on walks and play fetch. I've previously worked at a doggy daycare, where I've become familiar with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I have a part time job at a restaurant where I work anywhere from 4-9 hour shifts (mostly nights). I am in a sonography program, but in between schoolwork and taking care of my dog's wants and needs, I like to knit or do anything artsy related. While walking any dog, I always make sure their safety comes first, and secondly I make sure they're having fun, they're comfortable, and they're enjoying their walk. I will let your dog use their senses to lead us on the walk but I will make sure we don't get too far or get lost.
“We had a wonderful experience with Chatavia! She is very kind, reliable, and flexible with our needs. She made sure that Noey was always safe and well cared for, and she completed all the tasks during his walks exactly as requested. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We are truly grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 💕”

About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.
About: I have been trusted a magnitude of time to support families on trips watching their pets daily. I sent pictures and updates when I am there watching pets. Being in the military, I have days where I can come home early and I am there to support my pets needs and I most of the time give my dog a full of attention I make sure that their pets feel loved that they go on multiple walks a day to get out of the house and stretch out. I also make sure that they are well fed and hydrated.
About: I am an active triathlete, so your pet will have plenty of exercise and entertainment! My own dog is a pitbull mix, so I have experience with aggressive breeds and large breeds. My family dog I take care of when my parents travel is a senior, so I have experience with senior care. I work a hybrid schedule, and days I am home are very flexible as well as weekends. For a typical home sitting job I will do a morning walk and breakfast, midday walk during my lunch, and evening meal and walk. If your dog cannot sleep alone, I can bring them to my home to sleep in a large crate with a clean bed. I am very active, so whether you have a fenced in yard or a neighborhood or would allow me to drive your dog to a nearby trail, they'll have engagement while you are away. I am also proficient in belly rubs, so your dog will have cuddles and comfort. If your dog comes to my home, I have a fenced in yard they can run in while my dog enjoys his sunbathing. In my home dogs are crated while I am away for their safety.

“I just wanna say thank you for keeping my Lola. I enjoy the pictures that were sent to me of her enjoying herself. My flight was canceled. I had to get a a flight the next day, which made me a couple hours late picking up Lola, but Tyreika understood….I will use Tyreika again thank you”
“Nikki and Branden were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Ziggy had such a great time playing and even got to meet new friends, which made me so happy to hear. They went above and beyond in caring for him making sure he was well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. It was clear that they treated Ziggy like part of their own family, not just a dog they were watching. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Their home environment was safe, clean, and perfect for dogs to feel relaxed and happy. Ziggy came back home content, well cared for, and honestly seemed like he didn’t want to leave! I highly recommend Nikki and Branden to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitters. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Geysi was awesome with our dog. She sent plenty of pics to show how happy he was. She also went out of her way to meet me to pick up and drop off our dog since my GPS was not cooperating. I will absolutely book again with Geysi!”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”
“This was my 1st time booking this sitter and she was AMAZING! She put my mind at ease by sending me lots of pictures and videos. That helped me to feel reassured that my dog was happy and safe. When I picked him up, he looked sad that he was leaving. I would definitely book again with her. Thank you for your service!”
About: **I do have access to Fort Bragg! :) I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From smalls puppies to mastiffs and cats to rats, birds, and more! My family and I have rescued and lovingly homed most of our previous pets, which has deepened my understanding of the unique needs and special care that pets sometimes require. I’ve developed patience and a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply cuddling (maybe my favorite part), I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and comfort. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority and I PROMISE to treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a full time online student working on my bachelor’s in Health Sciences! I’m available pretty much 24/7, and what better way to fill this time than by taking care of your fur babies?! Depending on your pet’s preferences, we’ll either enjoy cozy indoor playtime and cuddles or stay active with outdoor adventures. Your pet will be fed strictly according to their usual schedule, and my home offers plenty of comfortable spots for restful naps after walks. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s ideal for their wellbeing. If boarding at your home, I will maintain their regular routine while ensuring they receive plenty of love and engaging activities. Cleanliness is a priority for me, so if you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to provide complimentary cleaning services while your pet is resting or otherwise occupied, ensuring a fresh and healthy environment!
“Our regular sitter wasn’t available last week, but thankfully Megan was one of the Rover-recommended sitters—and we are so grateful she was. The reviews are from real people! From the moment I sent my initial inquiry, she was responsive and stayed in touch. After the meet & greet, we knew it was a perfect fit. She took wonderful care of our boy, kept me updated throughout his visit, and sent the sweetest pictures. He’s well-loved at home, but we’re a busy family. She truly spoiled him, and now he’s going through withdrawals ♥️ lol.”
About: Hi, I'm Emily! I've been caring for animals for years and truly love getting to know new pets and their families. I currently have a beagle puppy named Ranger and a kitten named Rogue, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My experience with pet care started long before Rover. In high school, I volunteered at a local humane society and regularly pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. For the past few years, I've continued pet sitting through Rover and have cared for pets in Washington, North Dakota, and now North Carolina. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I know that every animal has unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion around, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and their fur babies, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! While I work full time as a child care specialist I do have the flexibility to do early morning and late afternoon (after 6pm) drop-in visits. My weekends are completely free. I have experience crating medium to large dogs and am able to handle any sized dog on leashes in public places in a safe way.
“Connie cared for our mixed poodle, Zoë, again while we were on vacation. We were so at ease knowing Zoë was in good hands. We highly recommend Connie for boarding your pet. Thanks Connie!”
“Kurt really went above and beyond for my pups and for me as well. When my travel for work got extended unexpectedly, he kept the pups for an additional day until his next client and wouldn’t even take extra payment for it. He even took them to my house for the drop off. Plus, throughout the stay, he took them on walks, to get treats from Starbucks and chick fil a, and took them with him on errands. He also spoiled them with new toys and treats! It was obvious that they were so well cared for and given every bit of love they would get from me while I was away. I was so appreciative of the great care Kurt provided, and the updates he sent me the whole time were really comforting since I could tell the pups were happy and getting so much love:) would highly recommend to anyone!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Myles! He was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond while caring for Arrow. He consistently sent pictures, videos, and detailed updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Arrow came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. If I wasn’t relocating, I would 100% continue using Myles without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive care! 🐾 A&A”
“Rey took great care of our senior dog and kept us informed the whole time we were away! She’s easy to work with and was very helpful with handling unexpected situations that came up.”
“Rena was very thorough with Max. She sent me pictures and text messages several times a day! I appreciated how she kept me informed on my little guy! If you are looking for someone to take care of your animal(s), book with Rena! She is one of the best out there! A++”
“Kira is one of a kind. She is a blessing to me and my babies. I have never felt comfortable leaving my babies with anyone until now She not only kept me updated but treated my babies like her own. My babies love you so much. Thank you Kira and thanks to those beautiful girls of yours too.”
“She was super kind and attentive to all of Nala’s needs! Her dog, Con, was super playful with my dog and I could tell my dog loved every moment staying at her house! Couldn’t recommend a better sitter for a dog :)”
