“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Truly awesome service, Jo was super flexible with my late request and took amazing care of Missy. She sent photo updates to let me know what they were up to which was great to see. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood everything about Missy to make sure she gave her a great stay. Missy had a ton of fun with Jo and I will 100% use her again!”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
“Alberta took incredible care of our sweet hamster while we went away for a weekend! She has a professional room set up for all boarding animals (even nicer than a vet boarding facility!) and sent us pictures / updates throughout our hamster's stay. Right when you meet Alberta you can tell that she is an animal lover, and is just the kind of person that you would entrust with the care of your furry friend! We will definitely be recommending Alberta to our friends in Boston, and will look to her services when we need someone to care for our pets in the future!”
“Frankie and Alice have stayed with Phillip several times now, and it's clear that they have a great time when they're there. Lots of outdoor space and time, human and canine friends, well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“We had an awesome experience with Shankar. He and his family took great care of Bruce. He shared pictures through the stay which put our minds at ease. Bruce had a great time there with Piku his dog. He came back home very happy and had a great time with them. We would certainly board Bruce with him again. Thank you.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Riven and Matt were great! They were able to take care of my pup, Lula Mae, while I needed to be out of town on short notice. Lu was clearly well cared for and happy with them. Really appreciate it!!”
“Outstanding once again! Brooke cared for our dog while we were away for 12 days, she cared for Fina like she was her own. Kept us updated daily with photos and notes. Thank you Brooke again!! We appreciate you so very much!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Cherie was a wonderful host for our dog, Hudson! She kept me updated with notes and pictures throughout the week we were away on vacation. Her family was so kind and responsive and I had no doubts that Hudson was receiving the best care! I would absolutely recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their pet.”
“Lucille hosted Kona for a week while we were away and it went wonderfully! We received daily updates and pictures of Kona so we could always see and know what she was up to. Lucille kept Kona busy with daily walks and fetch which are Kona’s favorites! We really appreciated Lucille’s attention to detail with wanting to know and follow Kona’s usual routines to help her feel comfortable. Kona has some medical needs which always makes leaving her with a sitter a bit anxiety provoking but Lucille made us feel at ease with her communication around medications as well. We very much appreciate Lucille’s care for Kona and already have a few more upcoming stays booked with her! Kona has found a new friend for sure!”

“Carolyn took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a week. Our cat can be quite shy and skittish, but Carolyn was able to bond with her and get her to play and socialize. It was so reassuring to receive the daily updates and knowing she was happy and well taken care of. Carolyn even trekked through the snow when our driveway hadn't been plowed. Thank you, Carolyn!!”
“Grayce was awesome with my cats!! She replied quickly to messages and left detailed notes during visits letting me know how my cats were doing and how much attention they were basking in while we were away! I would definitely book with Grayce again :)”
“Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”
About: I’ve been around dogs the last 20 years and I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 14 years of my life. I love them and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve learned everything I know from my parents who’ve had dogs for 32 years I am 100% free and available whenever you may need I prefer having two days heads up before I can make the plan, but I can also show up For same-day visits as needed I have 2 3-year-old Samoyed girls that are absolute sweethearts who would love to have another puppy or dog hanging out in our fenced in back yard , I can crate your dog easily if needed.
“Jessica did an awesome job. Everything done as expected and the pictures and emails updates were very much appreciated. I'll book next time with her as reliable pet sitters are getting very hard to find. Thank you!!”
About: I grew up with 3 cats, and most of my immediate family and in laws have cats even still. I've been trusted to take care of their pets for years, and trusted by family friends and extended family as well to care for their feline family members! I also spent 6 years working for an animal rescue and helping care for the kitties in the shelter. There's nothing better than a chin scritch and a purr ❤️ bonus points for kitties who like to tell me chatty stories!
“Susan genuinely cares about the pets she watches and gave our kitty, Ginger more love and attention with each visit than we could have wished for. I highly recommend her for pet care, especially for drop-in visits. She’s in a class all her own and will be our go-to provider forever.”
About: Lifetime of experience caring for my own dogs & cats. Experienced sitter caring for up to 3 dogs at a time. Experienced with many different breeds & dogs of all sizes. I am currently in grad school taking classes Monday & Wednesdays with limited availability for those days. I can offer drop in visits or walks 3-5 those days. Overnight care is no issue for my schedule. I take safety very seriously. I will care for your pet & home as though it is my own! Safety is always my top priority as our pets are like our children!
“This is the second time I’ve had Callie do drop-in visits for my two cats and she did a fantastic job both times! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets stay happy and healthy. I highly recommend hiring her for any of your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals through both personal ownership and pet-sitting for friends and family. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, and chinchillas. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning habitats/litter, playtime, walks, and giving pets patient, attentive care. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, and I work to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I work a consistent weekday schedule from 7–5, which allows me to plan pet care reliably into my routine. I am able to drop-in during my work day during house sits to address any mid-day needs, in addition to being available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, cleaned up after, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always keep owners updated while they’re away.

“Ralph is amazing with dogs. He took care of my dog in a pinch and very last minute and he not only was flexible but also very kind and loving to my dog. My dog took to him right away, dogs know dog lovers! His updates and pictures he shared of my dog throughout the day showed a happy puppy! My dog came home and just slept, he exercised so much with Ralph. I will definitely hire him again for doggy day care and boarding.”
About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“We’re so grateful for the excellent care that Shankar and family took of our cockapoo Mochi! They were great communicators- sending frequent photo and video updates of Mochi enjoying the beautiful, grassy, fenced-in yard, sniffing chickens (on the other side of the fence), playing with their dog, and snoozing on the couch. It was clear Mochi had a great day and that they are true dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend them to all!”
About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.
“Brooke is so kind and sweet and my pup loved her - I definitely felt like he was in good hands while she watched him for the day. She is quickly responsive to text messages as well. Great experience!”
“Kathryn is great. She took great care of my dog while I was at work. Sent me pictures and updates so that I knew how he was doing. Highly recommend. We did daycare with her and he loves being there and playing with her dogs and whoever else she is watching that day”
“Lindsey was so accommodating when we had to leave Oreo (our Shi Tzu) with her for 4 days. She has a Chihuahua of her own and both of them became friends. I would recommend her for your pet day care.”
About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!
About: I've had a dog for 15 years and have dog sat for many years. I've been walking pets for a year officially, and love every minute of it! I am currently not working at the moment so I am free everyday at anytime before 9pm to walk or watch the cats and dogs. I am able to give pets my full attention when visiting. I do have a fenced yard with no other dogs in the house. And a shy cat.
About: I am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed
About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone.

Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.

I am a teacher with the entire summer off! I can accommodate any schedule that best suits you and your pets needs whether it be during the week or weekend.

About: I've had a connection with animals since I can remember. I've cared for cats and dogs and have cleaned litter boxes, and have walked many miles in those decades. I'm currently working almost full-time as a school librarian so my availability is weekdays after 4pm, Wednesdays after 2pm. Weekends are open for pet care as are holidays and school vacation weeks. I love to give a dogs plenty of playtime, snuggles, belly and ear scritches, short walks, and long walks. Fresh water always available. And get them moving to work out those zoomies in their system!
About: I’ve been a dog walker for 2 years. Each dog gets all the lovings and attention from me every time! I do drop in visits to feed a meal and just let them out, or I’ll take them on 15-30 minutes walks (weather/temp dependent). Dog walking is my current job, I’m just looking to fill my schedule a little more. I typically start around 10am and the last dog gets walked around 3pm so anywhere in that time frame works for me! I have worked with dog aggressive dogs by using an E-collar so I’m knowledgeable on how to use those correctly. I am comfortable putting dogs into their crate if needed as well.
“Nathan’s communication is top notch and his love of dogs is immediately evident. I was nervous about letting someone into my home to care for my dog when I had to return to the office full time, but I am very comfortable with Nathan. I highly recommend.”
“I really liked Jessica, my dog walker and “mama” to sarge for 3 weeks! She was extremely reliable and loved sarge as I do. I couldn’t have gotten a better person to walk and take care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures and and texts every day she was there with him. I would definitely ask her to take care of him again on my next vacation and will recommend Jessica to my family and friends”
“Callie has been amazing at caring for my older nearly 15 yr old Dutch Shepherd, Methos. Normally picking about who walks him/feeds him/gives his meds, Methos warmed up to her within 1 day. Callie's extra care and consideration for his progressing medical needs has assured me Methos is safe and in good hands.”
“I have been using Katie's dog walking services since August for my pup Derby. She has been amazing. Derby looks forward to her time with Katie each week. Katie communicates to me about any concerns as needed and is very reliable and flexible especially when I was running late from work She offered to check on Derby again later that day. We are happy to have Katie a part of little Ms. Derbys life.”

About: Not only can I walk your dog, check in on your dog, provide special care for special needs animals but I’m also able to do basic training with dogs.

About: My name is Natasha, and I am very passionate about caring for animals - I even worked for a rescue for many years! Part of why I love caring for animals with Rover is because I get to know and love so many new furry friends. I promise to treat your pets like my own, and give them love and care while you are away! I'm located in Amherst, on the border of Merrimack, and while I cannot offer boarding at this time as I have two young kids and a pup who has only been with us about 6 months and wouldn't do well yet with other pets in the home, I still would love to get the opportunity to spoil other animals in my area with love. I will treat your pets with respect and affection, and I am always happiest when I have a furry friend by my side. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family members! I currently work full time remote, so I am home during the day every day and am able to keep good attention to my pup and any pups we watch. We treat every pup we watch as though they are our own. We absolutely love dogs, and will go out of our way to provide the best care possible.
About: I have been around animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had horses, dogs, cats bunnies, guinea pigs, birds - you name it, we probably had at least one! I absolutely love dogs and currently have a very high energy pit bull names Bizzy. He is a total sweetheart and loves all other living creatures, but he does need a lot of exercise. Luckily for both of us, lots of exercise happens to be my favorite thing! I am a marathon runner and love to take dogs for long walks or even runs if that’s what they need. I know that all dogs are individuals, so I want to get to know every dog I care for. If your dog needs a long run - great! If your dog needs cuddles and quiet time - awesome! I look forward to getting to know you and your pups! I work from home and love hanging out with dogs. During work breaks or on the weekends, I love fitting in hikes with dog friends. I’m happy to care for dogs in my home as long as they can get along with my dog and cat. If I’m in their home, I will always try to go above and beyond to keep the dogs happy and comfortable.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (and geckos) since I was young. I fostered an old cat August 2024 too. I'm good with pets. I am currently a college student, but I've got some time to take care of some lovely pets. I'm free almost everyday, never Wednesday though. I have fenced in yard, it's decent sized. I also have two leopard gecko, and a dog (Diesel). He's about 16 years old. Old man.
About: I was an emergency Certified Vet Tech for 6 years and unfortunately had to leave my career due to family matters. I’m still very passionate about animal care and would love more time with animals! I can take care of cats, dogs and exotics if you have them. I'm medically experienced so you'll never have to worry. I will make an effort to get to know your animals and make them feel comfortable around me. I can administrator medications and manage old or young friends. I'm honest, trustworthy and would love to be there for you and your pet! I appreciate clear and honest communication and direction. I have 5 pets so it’s a huge part of my life. One of my pups is going through chemo for his lymphoma right now, so I’m doing additional medical care at home too. I care for my pets 24/7. I let my pups out in the backyard first thing in the morning. Check on my kitties litters boxes. Check the pets water bowls. One of my kitties gets meds twice a day. They get treats and food throughout the day. My pets get vitamins too. I play with the ones who enjoy playing and if it’s nice outside, 2 of my pups enjoy staying outside. There’s a lot more I do and it’s a ton of work, but I love them all and work hard to make them happy, healthy and safe!
About: Been around many different dog breeds and pets since I was a kid. Family and friends have all relied on me to walk, play, and stay with their pets. I am comfortable with small or large dogs! I am a part-time server 3-4 nights a week! My shifts are roughly 4 hours, and I am out of school for the summer so I am available during the weekdays and weekends. I am willing to stay with pets overnight or as long as needed at clients home to ensure their comfortability! I have references that will testify to my willingness to keep their pets safe and satisfied.
About: Ever since I was little, I have always loved caring for my own pets. I have always lived with at least one dog. I currently have a pug, two shitzus, a cat, and a bearded dragon. I enjoy giving them the love, care, and attention they deserve, and so my goal is to give the same to your pets! As summer is approaching, I will be available Monday through Friday during the week to work part-time to provide drop in/housesit and/or walking services to your dog(s). I live on a fully fenced property so dogs can run around freely without the need of a leash. Inside the house is very safe and each room has a door or gate. I only want the best for the pet I take into my home and for them to feel safe is a huge priority for me.
About: I have lived my whole life taking care of wonderful animals. Dogs, cats, chickens, birds and fish have all lived long and happy lives under my and my family’s care. Living with animals has given me a lot of empathy for them. When I look into their eyes, I see souls as deep, complex, and beautiful as our own. They experience life with just as much richness as we do, but our world is built for us and not them. This is why I pride myself immensely on being able to care for the animals in my life, and to make them so happy. I had an 18 year old cat until recently, and currently have a happy and beautiful 11 year old dog. I’ve been able to maintain her quality of life so far, which speaks to my devotion to taking care of her. I will treat your pets with the same care that I treat my own, because animals truly are the best people. I’m a student who does remote work, so I’m home basically all the time. I also don’t have a strict schedule, which means I can care for pets whenever and however they need to be cared for. I have an open yard, but we’re far from the road, and further from any busy roads. Still, I supervise pets whenever taking them outside, once I’m confident they won’t run off, be that via leash or via befriending them. I take my dog for at least one walk a day, so if your dog were staying over, they’d get to come too. We let our pets out whenever they signal to us that they need the bathroom, but every pet is different and we can do routine outside-times for pets that need it as well.

“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Truly awesome service, Jo was super flexible with my late request and took amazing care of Missy. She sent photo updates to let me know what they were up to which was great to see. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood everything about Missy to make sure she gave her a great stay. Missy had a ton of fun with Jo and I will 100% use her again!”
“Frankie and Alice have stayed with Phillip several times now, and it's clear that they have a great time when they're there. Lots of outdoor space and time, human and canine friends, well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“We had an awesome experience with Shankar. He and his family took great care of Bruce. He shared pictures through the stay which put our minds at ease. Bruce had a great time there with Piku his dog. He came back home very happy and had a great time with them. We would certainly board Bruce with him again. Thank you.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Riven and Matt were great! They were able to take care of my pup, Lula Mae, while I needed to be out of town on short notice. Lu was clearly well cared for and happy with them. Really appreciate it!!”
“Outstanding once again! Brooke cared for our dog while we were away for 12 days, she cared for Fina like she was her own. Kept us updated daily with photos and notes. Thank you Brooke again!! We appreciate you so very much!”
“Cherie was a wonderful host for our dog, Hudson! She kept me updated with notes and pictures throughout the week we were away on vacation. Her family was so kind and responsive and I had no doubts that Hudson was receiving the best care! I would absolutely recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their pet.”
“Lucille hosted Kona for a week while we were away and it went wonderfully! We received daily updates and pictures of Kona so we could always see and know what she was up to. Lucille kept Kona busy with daily walks and fetch which are Kona’s favorites! We really appreciated Lucille’s attention to detail with wanting to know and follow Kona’s usual routines to help her feel comfortable. Kona has some medical needs which always makes leaving her with a sitter a bit anxiety provoking but Lucille made us feel at ease with her communication around medications as well. We very much appreciate Lucille’s care for Kona and already have a few more upcoming stays booked with her! Kona has found a new friend for sure!”
“Katherine was absolutely wonderful! To be able to trust someone with our pup and know he was treated like a king, brought smiles each day we were away. We could tell he enjoyed his stay immensely due to his demeanor when we picked him up. Thank you Katherine, literally the best sitter you could ask for!”
“Amanda and her family were great with out little Pluto. He loved being around her dog Chai and her wonderful children. We loved it so much that he is going back this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda.”
