“Monty's stay with Felicia was great! She provided us with lots of updates along the way, and we felt like he was in very safe hands. Our puppy came home happy and relaxed, and it was adorable at pickup seeing how much Felicia and her kids enjoyed having him there ❤️”
“What a wonderful visit my Timmy had with Donna! It was his first visit with her and there will be plenty more to come. She is a very caring, loving woman who goes out of her way to make sure her visitors are comfortable, happy and safe!”
“I knew when meeting Mike and his wife that Sasha would be in good hands. When picking her up, Sasha came to the door totally relaxed so I was sure she had been comfortable and not stressed other than getting used to being in a new situation. Very happy and grateful for the experience.”
“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“Denise was great! She sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog, and he was clearly well cared for and enjoying himself. She has two sweet dogs herself and it was a wonderful environment.”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline did a wonderful job caring for our Boone! She sent pictures and kept us up to date with activities they were doing. Would absolutely recommend and use her again to watch Boone.”
“Bob was great! i would highly recommend using him. he was flexible, responsive, and took great care of our dog! Effi came back chilled and i think it’s the vibe he lets off with the dogs.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She accepted Luna on very short notice when I was in a bind, and from the moment I dropped her off I knew she was in great hands. She took the time to show me where Luna would be, introduced me to the other dogs, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before I left. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious Luna wasn’t just being watched, she was getting tons of attention, enrichment, and love. She truly treated Luna like one of her own. When I picked Luna up, she was so happy, content, and completely tuckered out. It honestly felt like she found her soulmate sitter! I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares this much. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I think Luna already misses her. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl! ❤️”
“Julia welcomed our puppy Riley into her home for 6 days. It was our first experience with Rover, and bringing Riley to someone's home outside of our family. We were amazed at how Riley quickly became comfortable! He was welcomed by Julia and soon learned the daily routine. Julia sent us tons of pictures - daily walks, playing with her dog, cuddling and napping. Her knowledge of puppies and training is very deep, and her quiet way was very reassuring to us, and for Riley. She even shared maps of her favorite trails so we could continue to take riley to some of his now favorite walks. We look forward to booking with Julia in the near future. She truly is a 5 star person!”
“Lindsay was great with Luna. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up and kept in touch during our vacation with updates and pictures of Luna. I know that Luna was happy and well-cared for, and she enjoyed playing with Lindsay's dog. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea was incredibly friendly and caring. She took excellent care of my dog, giving her lots of attention and making sure she was comfortable and happy. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with regular photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely use her services again!”
“My dog was super happy at their house. He’s little so wasn’t sure about the other big dogs but they were sweet & gentle, they all got along well. Thank you for taking care of our little guy!”
“Shana took wonderful care of my 4 month year puppy, and I couldn’t recommend her more. As a new pet owner, I was worried being away from my pup, but Shana made this experience super easy. She sent regular updates and photos, and Sancho seemed to have a wonderful time. When I need to board again, I’ll choose Shana and I recommend you do as well.”
“This was our first time boarding our new puppy (13 weeks old) and we were nervous but Mercis was so wonderful and met with us and our pup ahead of time so we felt very comfortable before we left our littlest family member for the long weekend. During the stay we can tell our pup had the BEST time, thanks to the great daily pics and communication from Mercis. We were almost worried she wouldn’t want to come home, she loved Mercis’ place so much. 😅 Puppies this young are A LOT of work and Mercis loved and cared for our little girl like she was her own all weekend and even worked on some of her training while we were away. We will definitely be contacting Mercis in the future when we need someone to board Bloo! 🥰”
“So thankful to Donna and John for taking such excellent care of our dog while we were away. It can be very challenging to find boarding suitable for her due to her being dog-aggressive, but Donna and John willingly accepted her as their only client for the weekend and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was going to be in such good hands!”
“I believe that if Hazel could talk, she would let us know that she had a great time. We received lots of photos of a happy dog, and she really seemed to like playing with the owner's dogs too. Everything was very professional, from the first meeting, texts in both directions and the pick-up. Sylwia's family clearly cares for the dogs, and makes them feel very welcome in her home. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle did an excellent job. She kept me up to date with photos and messages for the 10+ days she was taking care of my dog. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“Nicole was a fantastic host for our fur baby. She was great at communicating before and during boarding. We got lots of great photos and updates. She was flexible with schedule changes we had due to flight delays and we think our pup had a great time!”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”

“Teresa was great and we felt so comfortable leaving out cats in her care! Tereza clearly has a love for cats and all pets. She was on time, played, fed, and cleaned up after them. We will be rebooking in the future for sure!”
“Samantha was awesome! Yeezy is a problem child, but she stuck with it and he finally ate for her! Not sure if she got to pet him, but I was just thankful that there were no issues. I would definitely use her services again and again. Thank you Samantha for taking such good care of my babies. I know Franky appreciated the attention.”
“Xi is a cat lover through and through!! I loved the daily cute updates and photos a lot, and I felt good knowing my little furballs were so well taken care of. I’ll definitely be rebooking and referring her. I can’t say enough good things about this experience.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life, with most of my pets coming from shelters and rescues. This experience has given me a strong appreciation for different temperaments, routines, and comfort levels. Currently, I live with my partner Caley (also on Rover!) and an 8 year old domestic shorthair cat named Barnett. We reside in walking distance of North Beach in Hampton. I primarily work from home, which gives me excellent flexibility for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I am in the office a day or two, but am typically able to shift days in order accommodate walks. I take safety seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, use secure equipment, and tailor walks to each pet’s needs. When beach routes are used, dogs are kept leashed and closely supervised, with attention to weather, tides, and comfort. My goal is always a safe, positive experience for every pet.
“1st time booking with Stephanie and she was nothing short of amazing! One of my kitties is a diabetic and she took such great care of her, the communication was wonderful, she made sure to keep me updated throughout the weekend. 10/10 will book again with her! 💕”
“Brittany helped us out on a very short notice. I can only say the best about her service! She is 100 % dedicated to the pets and obviously loves what she is doing. She also treated our home with such great respect and consideration. She communicated with me daily - just exactly the way we had agreed upon, which made it possible for me to relax during my getaway. She followed all my instructions, which were, in this case, even more important as we had never met before. Most of all, my cats looked fantastic when I arrived home - which was neatly organized just the way I had left it. I could tell Brittany did a fabulous job. We will definitely hire her again in the future - thanks!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all ages and personalities. My experience includes caring for cats, managing the daily needs of a diabetic dog, and currently owning and caring for a large 80 lb dog, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique routine, whether that means keeping an energetic puppy engaged, providing gentle care for a senior pet, or making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners complete peace of mind.
About: I have 3 beautiful kitties at home who I cherish and love so much. I am definitely a cat person and I love any opportunity to meet or take care of other cats. I have experience with their behavior and I know how to take care of them properly. I am also good with nail clipping if anyone ever requests it.
About: As a cat sitter I am calm, attentive, and consistent. I take the time to learn your cat’s preferences, habits, and personality so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. My calm presence helps shy or sensitive cats relax, while social cats get the interaction and affection they enjoy on their terms. During drop-ins, I make sure litter boxes are clean, food and water are refreshed, and your cat is happy, comfortable, and cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats playing, brushing, or simply sitting quietly with them if that’s what they prefer. And for cats who love affection, I’m always happy to provide extra snuggles. You can trust that your cat will be well cared for, content, and treated like family during every visit.
About: I've had cats for most of my life and am very comfortable caring for them. I know every cat has its own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I've cared for my own cats as well as cats belonging to friends and family, helping with feeding, litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they're comfortable while their owners are away. I especially enjoy earning a cat's trust and working with them on their terms. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Whether your cat is outgoing and wants attention or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Adele does a great job with the cats, she’s always on time and gives them play time and attention, checks their automated food and water and gives them extra food and treats when needed, cleans the litter box, and administers a liquid medicine.”
“Excellent care as always. The kitties were content and well-taken-care-of. I was kept abreast of regular daily activities and any small irregularities. Would definitely recommend and definitely rebook.”
“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”
About: I graduated from college with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work at vet hospital in Maine. I have been with animals all my life. And have two of my own. I work full time so during the week days afternoon potty time will be hard but if they can handle over 6+ hours of being alone then it will work perfectly. I would care for your animal at your house so it will be easier on your animal and not be anxious when at a new place. I will give them lots of cuddles and love. I treat them like they are my own. We will play all sorts of games too.

“My dog had a great time at Shelby’s house and big back yard. Shelby was very communicative and posted lots of pictures during the stay. When I’m back in the area I will definitely book again!”
“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”
“Nicole was fantastic with Teddy! She gave us a tour of her home and we received multiple updates with photos throughout Teddy's stay. Teddy had a great time and really loved the fenced in backyard. Highly recommend and we'll definitely book again with Nicole!”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter, Veska. She took amazing care of Oaits and was gentle, attentive, and highly professional throughout. She made sure to understand what Oatis’ needs were by communicating with us and kept us up to date through out the stay. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely at ease knowing Oaits was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Very sweet person! Totally a dog person!!! Cece was so comforting for us and our puppy, who had never been without us before. It was a big deal that she was communicative while we were away, letting us know she was okay as well sending photos. Last minute acheduling was important for our situation and she was immediately available. We will definitely ask her again if we are in the area and need a sitter.”
About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.
“FROM OLIVER'S POINT OF VIEW IT WAS PERFECT. ANN WAS KIND ENOUGH TO EMAIL A PHOTO OF HER DOG AND OUR DOG RELAXING IN HER HOUSE. WE MET THE DAY BEFORE ON THE BEACH IN HAMPTON TO INTRODUCE THE DOGS. I'M MOST GRATEFUL TO ANN, HER HUSBAND, AND ROVER FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO ATTEND OUR GRANDSON'S WEDDING.”
“Rose has been great for us and more importantly for Roy this week. She has a great location that allows for plenty of outdoor activity and has a friendly dog of her own that loves to play. This was perfect for our Doberman puppy. Highly recommended”
About: I’m a newly retired teacher and former principal that loves my doggies! Over the years, I’ve had so much love from my very special friends. Would love to give and get some loves from your treasured family member. I literally live in the middle of Stratham Hill Park and I love to walk. Only one “little guy” at a time…🥰 I’m loving my retirement and have lots of time and love to give. I have some scheduled exercise classes in the mornings but always home by 10:30. I’ve had so many dogs over the years. Routine visits to the vet are mandatory and walking, playing, and interacting with my friends are essential. I’m also very familiar with dogs with anxiety. One needs to approach this in a calm and careful way and watch the signs for anxiety coming on and be able to respond with love and kindness. Living right in the middle of Stratham Hill Park, I have easy access to the walking trails. Because I don’t know your dog, they will never be off leash but will be outside often during the day!! I love to walk. 🥰 I have a lovely crate IF your dog prefers this quiet space, but I will not be crating unless you ask me to. Typically my 11 year old grandson will come by after school to snuggle, play and go for a walk with me and your pup!
“Our dogs had a blast handing out for a few hours while we were able host a grad party. The dogs came home happy and exhausted from playing in the yard. Thank you Krystyna and Sara🐶❤️❤️”
About: Dogs, and Cats aren’t just pets in my home—they’re family! My twin brother and I have had dogs our whole lives, and we’re absolutely obsessed with them. In our house, your pup will be surrounded by love, care, and constant attention. Since most of my classes are online, my brother works night shifts, and my husband works during the day, there’s always someone home to make sure your furry friend is safe, happy, and cared for 24/7. I feel so lucky to have their support because, let’s be real—life loves to throw surprises our way! But no matter what, your pup will always be in good hands. And if you ask my family, they’d say they’re totally jealous because I get to spend the most time with the doggies! 🐾💖 From fun walks to cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels right at home while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them all the love they deserve! Having transitioned from a career in law to pursuing my passion in nursing school, I now have a flexible schedule with most of my classes being remote. This allows me ample time to dedicate to your pups, ensuring they receive plenty of play and care. I’m available for dog boarding on both weekends and weekdays, providing a reliable and loving environment for your furry friends while you’re away. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a secure and nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s needs: Safety First: I make sure that your home is pet-proofed, eliminating any hazards. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes and ensure that gates and fences are properly closed. Personalized Care: I follow your specific instructions for diet, exercise, and routines to ensure a consistent and comfortable experience. Regular updates are provided, and I am always available to address any concerns. Trustworthy Environment: At my home, your pet will be welcomed into a warm and loving space. My sweet and playful Bernedoodle, Sophie, is friendly and makes a great companion. If your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, we have the flexibility to have Sophie accompany my husband to work, ensuring your pet has a quiet and undisturbed environment. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in basic pet first aid and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, prioritizing your pet's health and safe. With my experience and dedication, along with Sophie’s friendly nature, you can trust that your pet will receive the highest level of care and affection while you’re away.
“Heather was an absolute lifesaver and a fantastic sitter! She jumped in last minute when we needed her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She provided regular updates with messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to hear how my dog enjoy playing together with her dog, enjoyed a little backyard chase, and even went on a car ride! Heather even let my dog borrow a coat for their walk, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she provided, making sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and communicative sitter, Heather is the best! I highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Julie and her family have been taking amazing care of Luca a few days a week for me while I adjust to a new work schedule. They really love him and treat him like their own. I love seeing pictures from their outings and walks! Luca is always excited to see them when I drop him off! As a new puppy mom I was nervous to leave him with anyone but Julie and her family made me feel so at ease. Would 10/10 recommend their services!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was a child. I have always had a love for caring for animals. Friends and family can always rely on me to check in on their pets.

About: I've been watching my neighbors dog along with cats and dogs of friends and family for 12 years now. I only work part time now and make my own hours so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I love all animals and want to provide you with stress free pet care. I enjoy walks and work remote so I can fit your pet's needs into my schedule. I have 2 friendly cats and did have a Siberian Husky for over 16 years who crossed over last year. I love walking dogs and do have a small yard and live on a nice walkable street.
“Kristin and Bobby watched our dog with a last minute call when we were vacationing in the Boston area. When we took our dog in the morning they came out to meet us and made sure that our dog was comfortable with them and their home. Our dog took right to both them and their dog. During the day my dog was exercised, fed and played with. I was very happy with our experience and would highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter.”
About: For pretty much most of my entire life I’ve had a dog. I gave them all the love I had and they did the same right back at me. Currently we own a beautiful 4yr old Golden named Sammy. He is gentile playful loving and silly. When a dog walks into our home it takes about 30 seconds and just like that Sammys got a new best friend. My business is in insurance sales which has me doing most of my work from home. This allows me to take great care of my dog Sammy and any of his friends. We’ve got a spacious open concept home with a big grassy fenced in back yard for lots of play time. We can also easily crate your dog if needed. Have peace of mind that your doggy will be safe and well cared for by myself as well as Sammy!

“Rachel is the best! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our two-year-old golden retriever, who has endless energy. She always returns her happy and tired. We highly recommend her!”
About: Caring for animals with compassion and understanding has always come natural to me! I have been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years and I have been a volunteer dog walker at the NHSPCA for 3 years. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. I have a senior dog, Eddie, and experience caring for senior dogs at the NHSPCA. I also have a reactive dog, Thor, and experience caring for reactive dogs at the NHSPCA. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.
“Nikki was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my dog Enzo—even bringing him homemade treats. He usually takes a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he bonded with Nikki right away. She's always on time and was great at communicating throughout, including providing great photos from each visit. I highly recommend booking her!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me
About: I've been watching my neighbors dog along with cats and dogs of friends and family for 12 years now. I only work part time now and make my own hours so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I love all animals and want to provide you with stress free pet care. I enjoy walks and work remote so I can fit your pet's needs into my schedule. I have 2 friendly cats and did have a Siberian Husky for over 16 years who crossed over last year. I love walking dogs and do have a small yard and live on a nice walkable street.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, I understand the attention, patience, and consistency animals need to thrive. From daily walks to feeding routines and playtime, I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own. While using the tools I’ve learned through my Cat and Dog first aid certification with the American Red Cross and Professional Pet Sitting Certification with Pet Sitters International, my approach is grounded in reliability, compassion, and a deep love for animals. Winter is my off season so I am very available! I dream of one day having my own dog however we don’t have the space or time we need to give a dog. I want to get my dog fix by helping you walk your dog!

“Monty's stay with Felicia was great! She provided us with lots of updates along the way, and we felt like he was in very safe hands. Our puppy came home happy and relaxed, and it was adorable at pickup seeing how much Felicia and her kids enjoyed having him there ❤️”
“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline did a wonderful job caring for our Boone! She sent pictures and kept us up to date with activities they were doing. Would absolutely recommend and use her again to watch Boone.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She accepted Luna on very short notice when I was in a bind, and from the moment I dropped her off I knew she was in great hands. She took the time to show me where Luna would be, introduced me to the other dogs, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before I left. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious Luna wasn’t just being watched, she was getting tons of attention, enrichment, and love. She truly treated Luna like one of her own. When I picked Luna up, she was so happy, content, and completely tuckered out. It honestly felt like she found her soulmate sitter! I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares this much. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I think Luna already misses her. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl! ❤️”
“Lindsay was great with Luna. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up and kept in touch during our vacation with updates and pictures of Luna. I know that Luna was happy and well-cared for, and she enjoyed playing with Lindsay's dog. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea was incredibly friendly and caring. She took excellent care of my dog, giving her lots of attention and making sure she was comfortable and happy. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with regular photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely use her services again!”
“My dog was super happy at their house. He’s little so wasn’t sure about the other big dogs but they were sweet & gentle, they all got along well. Thank you for taking care of our little guy!”
“Shana took wonderful care of my 4 month year puppy, and I couldn’t recommend her more. As a new pet owner, I was worried being away from my pup, but Shana made this experience super easy. She sent regular updates and photos, and Sancho seemed to have a wonderful time. When I need to board again, I’ll choose Shana and I recommend you do as well.”
“So thankful to Donna and John for taking such excellent care of our dog while we were away. It can be very challenging to find boarding suitable for her due to her being dog-aggressive, but Donna and John willingly accepted her as their only client for the weekend and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was going to be in such good hands!”
“I believe that if Hazel could talk, she would let us know that she had a great time. We received lots of photos of a happy dog, and she really seemed to like playing with the owner's dogs too. Everything was very professional, from the first meeting, texts in both directions and the pick-up. Sylwia's family clearly cares for the dogs, and makes them feel very welcome in her home. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle did an excellent job. She kept me up to date with photos and messages for the 10+ days she was taking care of my dog. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“Nicole was a fantastic host for our fur baby. She was great at communicating before and during boarding. We got lots of great photos and updates. She was flexible with schedule changes we had due to flight delays and we think our pup had a great time!”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Katelyn provided phenomenal care for my 5 year old golden retriever named Scooby, with updates and photos of Scooby during his stay. Katelyn has a great property with a fenced in yard that allowed my dog to play off leash with her friendly pups. Her family was loving towards my dog and I look forward to connecting with them again for further dog sitting experiences.”
“Receba is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of Rosie, sending regular picture updates that put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and she was super flexible when I needed to adjust drop-off times. I highly recommend her—Rosie had a wonderful time!”
“We were a little nervous to leave Indy for a week, but our fears were immediately put to rest when we saw how wonderfully he was treated by Stacey and her family! Indy loved her fenced-in backyard and playing in the kiddie pool on the hot days! Indy and Stacey bonded quickly and we enjoyed the frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Most importantly, he was safe and happy and treated like family. Stacey is our new go-to pup sitter!”
“Kathy is awesome!! Our 3 dogs stayed for a week with her and she was very communicative with us the entire time and sent lots of videos. One of our dogs is fully blind and the other is 12 yrs old and she was very attentive to both their individual needs. We will definitely be rebooking her again! :)”
