Highly-rated overnight sitters - Waterloo
“I can’t say enough good things about Jaclyn. She not only helped us out in a last minute emergency, but our dog was welcomed with open arms as if she was her own. She also sent sweet pictures and updates throughout the timeframe she watched her. 10000% I would recommend her to anyone. She really is the best!”
“Teddy loves going to Dazhi’s! I always have total peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for and showered with love. He comes home happy every time — which says it all. 🐾”
“Jill and her sweet family were amazing with our pup! They keep him active and engaged daily and keep me informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. I highly recommend Jill!!!”
“Ann was wonderful! She accepted a somewhat last-minute request to board Lizzy, my senior dog. Although Lizzy is anxious and shy, she eventually felt at home and grew comfortable with Ann. I really appreciate how Ann kept me well informed of my dog’s status and sent several photos. She administered Lizzy’s meds and walked her twice a day. It was a great situation for my dog. I would definitely board Lizzy with Ann again.”
“Amazing experience with boarding our pups with Alex and Sarah! It was the first time boarding our fur babies so we had questions about the process. They were very responsive and provided all the information quickly and thoroughly. We appreciated the frequent updates/photos and videos while we were away. It was a great feeling to know our dogs were in such great care. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah and Jason took Maggie in last minute and did great! They took great care of her and made sure she wasn't too anxious. Mag got lots of pets and outside time, her two favorite things! Definitely would book again.”
“Our Zoey had a terrific time with Melissa! Will be happy to have her care for our BABY again. Did not know a tip was to be given on your site, and was left with her when we picked up Zoey.”
“Andrea took great care of our energetic boy! She was flexible when we needed to adjust our dates and kept us updated throughout his stay. Kody seemed comfortable and very much at home. We will definitely book with Andrea in the future!”
“We appreciated texts about our dog and pics of him while we were away.. we liked the fenced back yard and clean home. Very nice couple who were attentive to Our dog. We were very happy!”
“Tory was more than just amazing. This was our first big trip leaving our puppy behind and she was so understanding and helpful. She sent us pictures of Churro playing, gave us daily updates on how he was doing and even accommodated to a last minute (and very inconvenient) change we had to our plans. After getting locked out of our house on accident she willingly took Churro an extra night no complaints or second thoughts. She even offered to do it without pay (though we would never accept such an offer, especially under those circumstances). We would and will recommend her a thousand times over. Churro had such an amazing time, we have never seen him so happy or comfortable while we were gone, he’s usually a nervous wreck. She is a natural with dogs, and it shows in their demeanor with her. We are so grateful for this great experience.”
“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”
“This was my anxious boy’s second visit with Trish. The first visit was for daycare, and this was an overnight visit. Trish took great care of my boy! She sent me regular updates and pictures since we weren’t sure how he would do in a new environment. My boy looks happy and relaxed in all the pictures! He doesn’t do well in an overnight stay at the kennel, but he was clearly safe and happy here! We will definitely be repeat customers! Trish is the best!”
“Ellie looks like she had a great time staying with Stephanie and her family for the week. She came home so pooped and slept all day. She was so easy to work with and kept us in the loop. You can tell they really love animals and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Stephanie again. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Janet was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was very content with her. Our dog is older and takes medications daily and Janet had no problem giving these to her, even when our dog was stubborn about taking them. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Bethany did an amazing job with Eevee. She took care of my little girl as if Eevee were hers. Bethany sent multiple pictures and texts every day, and she made sure my dog got plenty of exercise. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

Cat caregivers near you - Waterloo
“Lynn was very good at communicating with us while we were gone. Our cat has a chronic condition and requires medication. She contacted me every day and we discussed what medication and how often. Pippin was in good shape when we got back and I credit Lynn for that.”
“This was the first time my partner and I left our cats longer than eight hours since we adopted them. I knew I wanted to make sure they had someone who could not only to feed them twice a day, but provide a presence for them. Jason took care of our cats while we were gone and when we arrived, it was like they hardly noticed we were gone. They were happy to see us, of course, but they were perfectly content and happy when we got home. Jason gave us constant updates and photos during our trip and honestly left our home better than he found it (we gave it an honest go of cleaning before leaving!). We will definitely try to book with Jason again should we take another trip.”
About: I have taken care of cats for a short period when I was younger. I have cleaned the litter box and fed them. In addition, I have played with cats when my friend was fostering kittens. My schedule is pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out!
“Ann was such a great help! She was willing to visit over the holiday break and she always showed up at the scheduled times. She spent quality time with our pets and her attitude and attention to detail left me feeling confident in her take care. Thanks Ann!”
“Rebecca was a 10/10 sitter! She sent amazing notes when she came by along with pictures which left me with incredible peace of mind while out of town. I will continue to book her (when she is available!) and would highly recommend her to anyone else!!”
“Abigail looked after my two cats while I was away for Thanksgiving. She didn’t mind coming on the holiday and during a snowstorm! I received great updates, pictures and a clean home upon arrival. Most of all, my cats were doing well!! I will book Abigail for future vacations. :)”
“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of life, six dogs in total. Most recently I had a German Shepherd, Australian Cattle dog mix name Waylan. I started with Rover over 4 years ago and have sat for over 50 clients and 82 pets. To name a few I have taken care of Pit Terriers, Bull Terriers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Great Dane, Bearded Collies, Bearded Dragon, Mice, Hedgehog, and many cats. All from different families and all in-home stays. I consider myself an observant and knowledgeable animal lover. When it comes to special skills, I have experience training and administering medicine. My work schedule is M-F, 8:30 to 5pm in-office. Outside of those hours, I spend with your pets. Despite working full-time in-office, the happiness and safety of your pets is still my number one concern. I am looking forward to the care and attention I can give your pets in their home environment. I have experience taking care of dogs on farms, in apartments, and town homes.
About: I’ve had cats as part of my family for many years and currently have a cat of my own. Over the years I’ve cared for several cats with different personalities and needs, including shy cats and cats that prefer a quiet, patient approach. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, refreshing food and water, litter box cleaning, and giving cats attention and playtime based on their comfort level. I understand that some cats love interaction while others prefer calm companionship, and I always respect their space and routine. I can also assist with basic medications when a cat is comfortable receiving them. My goal during drop-in visits is to make sure your cat feels safe, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away.
“Haeli was great. I am a first time customer and from the first meeting I was at ease with her watching my cats. She is a great communicator and when I came home my cats weren't on edge like they usually are. She even brought in our trash cans after our trash day. I will be using her again!”
About: As well as helping the dogs in my local humane society, I have provided cat enrichment services specifically for shelter kitties! Getting them used to humans and feeling calm enough to play are some of my favorite activities with the cats. I am used to dealing with skittish cats no problem
“Gabrielle was absolutely perfect in looking after our 4 cats while we were away. Right before leaving, our youngest cat had some sort of upset stomach. While it quickly resolved and allowed us to carry out our travel plans, Gabrielle was quick to put our minds at ease by keeping us informed of the cat’s eating habits. She also went above and beyond to make sure our more timid cat - who hides from strangers - got her food while hiding behind the washing machine. This timid cat even began to hide less often during Gabrielle’s time stopping in. We returned home to 4 very happy cats. No question Gabrielle is top notch and will put your mind at ease during travel!”
“Sophie is our go too when we are out of town. She is great at communicating and flexible. Always keeps the house tidy and follows instructions to a tee! Dependable and prompt! Birdie and Pickles.”
“Once a day drop in visits 30 minutes: Communication amazing. Very sweet and understanding. My kitties loved her. Enjoyed the photos while I was away missing them 🙂”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waterloo
“I had a great experience with Keeley and Ethen! I sent a last-minute request around 8–9 PM, they responded quickly, and I was able to drop her off the next morning. They were super kind, communicative, and sent pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. This was for my 9-week-old puppy that I had only brought home three days earlier, so everything was still very new. She ended up being more vocal than expected and needed a little extra attention, so I was nervous leaving her. They handled her so well and made the whole process feel easy. Their home is nice, the area is great, and overall everything went smoothly. No complaints at all. Highly recommend!”
“Ann is such a Godsend to us! She took good care of our 2 baby girls 🐾🐾. They loved her and had a wonderful time. We feel so blessed to have found such a warm, kindhearted, and trustworthy person to look after our precious babies! 💖🙏🏻 Thank you so much, Ann! ☺️”
“Alex and Sarah was great for the first day!! They let me set up a meet and greet with there two doggos, George and Milo, beforehand! Received a few photos of Winston (my dog) and George throughout the day! They are going to be besties! I will be using them full time for the future!”
“Jayda was well cared for with Katie. She made herself right at home and made a new friend (Scarlett). I would definitely recommend Katie and plan to return with Jayda in the future.”
About: I've watched dogs of friends and family on and off for the past 11 years. It's been a mix of older dogs, young dogs, large and small. I'm a stay at home mom. Our pets are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time a couple days each week. I have a fenced in yard and friendly pooch with loads of toys to share. Our dog has unlimited access to the yard as long as I am home. A water dish is always out and available. We do have a cat who free ranges around the house, but she tends to make herself scarce when other dogs are in the house.
“My Golden Retriever puppy absolutely loved his doggy daycare time with Liz and her crew of animals. He came home exhausted and happy from the day's activities. Liz was great about sending photos and videos to keep me updated throughout the day. Won't hesitate to use her again in the future!”

“Brad and his family are great. Brad sent videos and photos of our dog playing hard with his dog. They were a great match. Brad is super easy to work with even when I messed up the dates on the app. If you are looking for a fun play date for your dog, this is the place to go.”

About: I have had the pleasure of owning and caring for pets since I was young- of all sizes/ages/species. I would love to meet your pet! I am currently a stay at home mom and do have a pretty flexible schedule. I may, on occasion, have to bring my 2 month old baby along (she would remain in her car seat). That would also depend on comfort level. My husband works from home so if needed she can stay behind. I currently am not able to do pet services in my home. I have two dogs and a cat and a 2 month old baby. I would be happy to come to your home!
About: For the past year, I have volunteered at my college towns local humane society. I have experience in cleaning kennels, bowls, enrichment treat preparations, and more! As well as keeping the environment safe, I ensure the animals feel safe too. Giving attention to all the sweet dogs and cats help make sure they are comfortable and enjoy human company. I am experienced in shy pets as well as high energy! I am home throughout the entire summer and have all the time for ensuring every pet need is taken care of. I have no other on-site work related conflicts. I have a fenced yard and no personal pets so there will be no worries about your animal getting along with another. At your home, I am willing to crate if needed or provide elaborate fun treats, etc.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, which taught me early on how to handle everything from bottle-feeding newborns to keeping senior pets comfortable. I’m completely comfortable sticking to strict schedules and making sure your pet takes their pills right on time. I’ve been pet-sitting since high school—including long-term overnight stays for weeks at a time—so I know exactly how to keep a home and your fur babies safe. Today, I share my home with my own dog and two cats. I genuinely love all animals and promise to treat yours like family! I have a full time job as well as caring for my own fur babies. I get off work anywhere from 1-4pm, it varies from day to day. I can only work afternoons to evenings. No weekends or holidays. I follow the instructions given and treat your pets as if they were my own. They get all the pets and play time they could ever wish for.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. We also have a 4ft fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!

“Updating my review! Scott has been coming weekly to walk our rambunctious Barney for several weeks now. I happened to be home recently when he came to pick Barney up. Barney was so excited to see him! And Toby! I can confirm Scott will tire your dog out! Barney came home ready to settle down for the afternoon. So glad we found Scott for Barney :) He’s so great with our dog and clearly enjoys being with him. It’s nice to know on days I’m in the office that Barney has a friend to come and take him for some fun.”
About: I've had cats for 16 years, so I feel very comfortable around cats and know what makes them happy! I have dog sat on multiple occasions and I love dog walking! On Monday’s and Wednesdays I work 3-8, so I am available before or after! On Tuesdays and Thursdays I work 8:30-1:30 so I could also become before or after! I usually work once during the weekend but normally just a 5 hour shift! I follow each owner's instructions to make sure their pet’s routine is maintained! I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention in their home :)
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I grew up with three little bichon poodle puppies. I now have a Catahoula Leopard Dog of my own. I currently work at starbucks, and soon I’ll be starting to attend ASU online for Pre Veterinary Medicine. Looking to fill my free time with your cute pets All of my dogs are taken out a leash whenever they go outside just in case because you never know what could happen. Unless they are in a fenced backyard
About: My focus is on providing a stress free and activity filled adventure for your dog! I have a securely fenced acre of land (six foot high fence with jump guards) with plenty of room for safe free running. My personal dogs are all dog friendly and we enjoy frisbee and long walks daily and have previously competed in various dog sports. I have senior dogs and understand the extra care that seniors can require including medication administration and providing rugs for footing. Puppies who have been appropriately vaccinated are welcome as well. I work from home and my life revolves around the dogs and the schedule that includes feeding 2-3x per day, medications for my senior dogs and exercise as both individuals and in groups. My motto is happy dogs = happy clients. As mentioned above, I believe strongly in routine and schedule. My property has a secure fenced back yard and the yard is divided as well. Some of my clients love to sun themselves all day, some prefer to go sprint the back acre. I’ve had both positive and negative experiences with pet sitters myself and never want it to be a stressful experience for the owner or the pet. Updates are given daily with photo and/or video.
About: I have a flexible work schedule, so I can stop by a few times a day for feeding, letting them out, and brief walks/visits. If needed, I can also bring my laptop and stay a bit to give pets more attention during the day (usually between 9am–4pm around school drop-offs/pickups). I live in West Omaha. I work full-time in public health, am CPR-certified, and am very reliable. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss your needs. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. In general, I don’t offer pet boarding since I already have two pets and a very energetic young kid at home. I don’t do in-home overnight sitting because I need to be home with my kids.
About: I have taken care of pets since a young age, and have my own dog, Romeo, who I live with now. I have some professional experience working with dogs, and believe they are truly amazing. I’m currently in school at metropolitan community college in Elkhorn, and I live in the area. I enjoy spending my free time getting to know the community and the dogs in it. I am very trustworthy and know how to meet a dog’s needs. I am very conscious of what they need in order to live a happy life. I will also follow directions related to individual pet needs.
About: Hi! My name is Kelsey and I am in my sixth year of teaching... so I love working with kids, but I love working with dogs just as much. I’ve had lots of experience dog sitting for family friends’ dogs. I have also dog/housesit for families in Lincoln as well as walked dogs when families are busy. I currently do have a dog, but I enjoy getting to work with other pets as well. My availability is very flexible as well as pay. So feel free to message me and we can negotiate with hours/pay and I can provide you with multiple references and work out any details! I’m a teacher, and so I currently have my summer off. I have my own dog to care for which is why I do not allow boarding services. But I am very flexible with times. I care for my dog my giving him lots of love and attention. I’m also big into being active so we go on runs and walks every day. I fell as if I am a very caring and kind person, so I treat every animal as if it were mine, with all the love and support.
About: I've had and cared for pets my entire life. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, ducks, snakes, a crab, hamsters, and rabbits, no partridge in a pear tree yet! I’m a graphic designer so I work from home. This mean I have very flexible availability to work from my clients home and give their pets a lot of extra love and care throughout the day. I also occasionally work on a farm but wouldn’t be away from my client’s pets for more than 4 hours. I am very thorough with my assessment and questions I ask when house/pet sitting at houses to make sure anything needed is available, or that I may be ready for any issue that may come up. I also LOVE to leave the house I'm sitting at better than I found it. My mother taught me at a young age how incredibly nice it is to return to a very clean house after a trip. It's a lovely gift I truly enjoy to give when I'm finished housesitting.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, lizards, Geckos, guinea pigs, and hamsters. The breeds that I have cared for consist of Italian Greyhounds, Corgis, Boxers, Pitbulls, German Shorthair Pointers, Vizslas, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, Beagles, Chihuahuas, Labs, Brussels Griffons, and Rottweilers. In my many years of owning our dogs I have helped housebreak several puppies and care for senior dogs towards the end. I enjoy teaching dogs tricks and what sets me aside from others is that I’m passionate about the care and well being of all animals. My goal is to make this my full time job so my availability is open to the needs of my clients. Anytime day or night I am here to help. I treat every dog and home like it’s my own. I play with and walk my dogs daily. I will do what my clients request based on the individual needs of every pet.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember I’ve always been around dogs in my house and as I’ve gotten older I have helped dog sit for friends and family and always get a call back when they need help again. I love going on walks with my dogs and will take them on as long or short of walks as they need. I also manage my time well and won’t forget about your pups or cats I’ll stop in as many times as you need when I have time in my schedule! I work part time so on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-3 and I go to college Tuesdays and Thursdays but only 10-2. Fridays and the weekends I’m mostly free. I try to workout everyday so walking dogs can fill that spot as well. I LOVE dogs so I will give your pups all the love and make sure they are fed, let out, water is filled or whatever they might need. When walking dogs I’ll make sure they stay on the sidewalk and stay on opposite sides of other dogs. Also I’ll make sure I take trash bags or water if needed.
About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!

“Teddy loves going to Dazhi’s! I always have total peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for and showered with love. He comes home happy every time — which says it all. 🐾”
“Jill and her sweet family were amazing with our pup! They keep him active and engaged daily and keep me informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. I highly recommend Jill!!!”
“Ann was wonderful! She accepted a somewhat last-minute request to board Lizzy, my senior dog. Although Lizzy is anxious and shy, she eventually felt at home and grew comfortable with Ann. I really appreciate how Ann kept me well informed of my dog’s status and sent several photos. She administered Lizzy’s meds and walked her twice a day. It was a great situation for my dog. I would definitely board Lizzy with Ann again.”
“Sarah and Jason took Maggie in last minute and did great! They took great care of her and made sure she wasn't too anxious. Mag got lots of pets and outside time, her two favorite things! Definitely would book again.”
“Andrea took great care of our energetic boy! She was flexible when we needed to adjust our dates and kept us updated throughout his stay. Kody seemed comfortable and very much at home. We will definitely book with Andrea in the future!”
“Tory was more than just amazing. This was our first big trip leaving our puppy behind and she was so understanding and helpful. She sent us pictures of Churro playing, gave us daily updates on how he was doing and even accommodated to a last minute (and very inconvenient) change we had to our plans. After getting locked out of our house on accident she willingly took Churro an extra night no complaints or second thoughts. She even offered to do it without pay (though we would never accept such an offer, especially under those circumstances). We would and will recommend her a thousand times over. Churro had such an amazing time, we have never seen him so happy or comfortable while we were gone, he’s usually a nervous wreck. She is a natural with dogs, and it shows in their demeanor with her. We are so grateful for this great experience.”
“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”
“This was my anxious boy’s second visit with Trish. The first visit was for daycare, and this was an overnight visit. Trish took great care of my boy! She sent me regular updates and pictures since we weren’t sure how he would do in a new environment. My boy looks happy and relaxed in all the pictures! He doesn’t do well in an overnight stay at the kennel, but he was clearly safe and happy here! We will definitely be repeat customers! Trish is the best!”
“Ellie looks like she had a great time staying with Stephanie and her family for the week. She came home so pooped and slept all day. She was so easy to work with and kept us in the loop. You can tell they really love animals and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Stephanie again. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Janet was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was very content with her. Our dog is older and takes medications daily and Janet had no problem giving these to her, even when our dog was stubborn about taking them. We will definitely book with her again!”
“great communication, took great care of the dog and made sure he stayed active! beyond exceeded my expectation, and her dog got along great with him! he didn’t want to leave lol.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was my first time booking with Kristen and she (and her pup Connor) were fantastic! I felt very comfortable leaving Beignet with her! She was very flexible and accommodating to Beignet’s medication needs especially last minute changes which made leaving him for 8 days much easier on me. She is very responsive and graciously accomodated a schedule change due to travel delays. She also made meet & greet, pick up, and drop off quick and easy! She sent updates with pictures and is very responsive! Beignet came home happy and I think he gained a friend in Connor! I would highly recommend Kristen and definitely will be using her again in the future!”
“Nicole was amazing! She has 3 well behaved beautiful dogs that got to play and distract Midas while we were gone. She also has some extra little hand that I am sure gave our dog so much love while we were gone! We got pictures daily! We were so happy that he was so well taken care of we would request Nicole anytime we are out of town. Highly recommend”
“Slim loved his time with Keeley and Ethen. Usually he's grumpy when he comes back. He was happy and I think it helped he had other dogs to socialize with. I would highly recommend and use again.”
“Kelly was fantastic and we will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future. She took great care of our pup and sent lots of pictures and videos during the stay. Thank you Kelly!”
