“She and her family were very kind. She took care of my dog and loved him as if he were her own. My dog also seemed very comfortable. She even surprised me with a thoughtful gift. Thank you for your kindness”
“Rita is absolutely fabulous, she’s so sweet and considerate. Our pup LOVED staying with her, we even got regular photos and videos! She’s an amazing communicator and her house and yard are so cute!”
“Our dog Bella stayed with Jill, Tommy, and their dogs when went on vacation. Bella stayed with them for a few daycare days prior to her week long stay. They were very welcoming and friendly. They took such great care of Bella. They updated us daily on how Bella was doing, along with pictures of her daily activities. This really made us enjoy our vacation even more knowing she was well cared for. They took her in as part of their family. We will definitely utilize them for day care and overnight stays in the future.”
“First-time Rover user here, and I was definitely a bit anxious going in but I didn’t need to be. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Andres. He’s easygoing, clearly great with dogs, and made the whole experience stress-free. My rescue chihuahua mix can be a little temperamental, especially around men, but Andres handled him without any issues. I also really appreciated the daily photo updates and quick check-ins—it gave me peace of mind knowing how my pup was doing. Overall, a really positive experience. Thanks again, Andres!”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Our pup had a great 1st stay with Beth! She communicated promptly, kept us updated with videos, and ensured our anxious furry family member was well-taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for more! :)”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”
“Jen is the best pet sitter!!! She loves our Ziggy and he’s so comfortable at her house. I get continuous updates during his stay and I never worry when he’s with her!!”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Marissa was fantastic with my dog! She took her on multiple walks and even to a dog park. I loved receiving pictures of all their fun adventures and cozy snuggles on the couch. Honestly, I was a little worried my dog might not want to come back home with us! 😂”
“Kirk immediately put me at ease about leaving my somewhat spoiled, always supervised , many food/ environmental allergies 9yo male pekinese. It’s necessary to watch he only gets the food and treats provided and allergy med twice a day. I feel that’s a tall order, but Kirk and Anita were wonderful. Sent update pictures so I knew he was fine and they treated like their own family pet. Can’t thank them enough. And recommend using them 100%. Kirk had me come over once to meet him so he could show me the layout ,explain what to expect ,and meet his own dogs To see how your dog reacts.”
“You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.”
“This was my first time boarding my 6-month puppy, but Claudia eased all my worries. I got tons of pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. I could tell Stella had a great time. If you’re unsure about boarding your pet for the first time, you can trust Claudia!”
“Juliana was truly a godsend, I can’t imagine leaving Milton with anyone else, she took amazing care of him, sent us photos and updates everyday and truly made it feel like he was staying with extended family ❤️ she treated him like one of her own dogs and we will absolutely be using her for all of our future trips!”
“This was my 2nd time using Carolyn & Jonathan for Brooklyn. They are amazing and they take care of Brooklyn like their own!!! Lots of walks & cuddles. They send lots of pictures and updates too! It’s so comforting to go away knowing she's in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using them again!!! 10/10 recommend!!!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“Shelanne is wonderful. From the moment she met Finn, I knew he was in good hands. She is caring and loving and Finn had a great time roaming her big fenced in backyard. Shelanne was so accommodating with our Finn who has some special needs. We will definitely use Shelanne in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of my 9 years of hands-on cat care experience and the genuine love I have for working with cats of all personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for kittens, seniors, and everything in between, so I’m comfortable handling different needs and temperaments. I also have experience administering medications, which helps pet parents feel confident that their cats’ health routines will be followed closely. On top of that, I know how important the “little things” are in cat care, like keeping litter boxes fresh and clean, maintaining feeding schedules, and making sure your cat gets the right balance of playtime, cuddles, or quiet company depending on their personality. I pride myself on patience, attention to detail, and creating a stress-free environment so that your cat feels safe and loved while you’re away.

I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from bottle-fed kittens to senior cats with complex medical needs, including administering insulin injections for a diabetic cat and subcutaneous fluids for a cat with kidney disease. My current cat, Rory, brings so much joy to my life every day, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alloway

About: With years of hands-on animal experience, I’ve fostered kittens, raised service dog puppies, and worked at a reptile and fish store during college.

I’m passionate about positive reinforcement, structured care, and creating an environment where animals feel safe, confident, and loved. From high-energy working dogs to small pets, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, knowledgeable care. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with the same attention and dedication I give my own. I can be flexible and happy to work with your schedule, whether your pet has specific needs, preferred routines, or particular days that work best. Just let me know how I can help make their stay as comfortable as possible! I live in a quiet, pet-friendly, one-story home with minimal stairs and a spacious, secure yard perfect for dogs who enjoy fresh air and room to play. Inside, I use gates to thoughtfully separate areas of the home, allowing me to create a calm, structured environment tailored to each pet’s comfort and needs. Im happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs and have dedicated space available for rest and decompression when needed. Our cats have their own separate room and can remain fully separated to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for everyone. Whether your pet enjoys exploring the yard, structured playtime, or relaxing in a cozy spot indoors, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

She loved playing with tennis balls AND she didn’t tear up one of them!! THAT IS A MIRACLE!! My tennis balls have never survived a Belinda! Once Belinda and I arrived home, she went straight to sleep and snoozed all night. She had a GREAT day! Thank you so much, Dante, for your flexibility and for taking great care of my best girl!!”

We own our home and have a small fenced backyard. We currently have one friendly cat who thinks he's a dog! If needed, we have plenty of space to keep pets separated to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or in your home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 10 years, I own an animal rescue, but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss haveing dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes it is just for company, laying on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having anotherfriend to hang/ play with.
About: I’m a devout animal lover with three dogs of my own (including a senior) and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. My dogs range in age from 5-11 years and weights of 11lbs to 55lbs. My cat is 7 years old and a tabby. My senior dog has lung cancer so I’m also experienced in delivering oral medication, round the clock care and attention, and moving at their pace. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your dog will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My Rover calendar is flexible updated daily so that I can support any urgent needs, where necessary. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate individualized attention all throughout the day. You will not find a sitter in Wilmington that is as attentive as I am. My pets are kept separate during boarding. Your dog will have access to the entire first floor and the fenced in-backyard. I have a dedicated bedroom for boarding where I can sleep with dogs who may have separation anxiety to ensure they are comfortable. Drop-in visits & Walks: I‘ll take my time getting to know your dog and make sure they’re comfortable with me being there. I like to sit with them for a few minutes before and after each walk to feel out their energy levels. On walks, I recognize that this is their social time so I go at their pace and let them get plenty of sniff time. I am very respectful of your home and will follow your instructions closely.

“Grace has done an outstanding job walking our two large dogs. She takes great pictures of the dogs during the walks and sends them to us with a detailed report of the walk. She is timely and has taken on many last minute requests from us. We have been very happy with her services. Thanks, Grace!”
About: I am an experienced care giver for animals. I worked in a non-kill shelter for three years and cared for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have taken care of the young, old and sick and they all hold a special place in my heart. I can administer any needs for your pup or kitty! I have always had animals in my life wether it’s fostering or gaining a family member. I can make sure that the environment is clean and stress free for your fur baby. My experience with many different animals will aide me in getting to know you and your pet better to provide the best care. Book me today to help me gain a fur friend and take care of your animals.
About: I've been working with dogs professionally for almost 1.5 years, but I've also always dog-sat for family and friends. I've sat with dogs from small to big sizes, younger to older dogs, and I've dealt with dogs that have had many different medical issues, including providing medication and insulin. I'm ready for anything, and I'm excited to meet some new furry friends. Pet care is part of my everyday life both at work and at home. I currently work at a dog kennel, so I’m experienced with feeding schedules, exercise routines, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. On top of that, I have three dachshunds of my own at home, which means my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, training, and plenty of cuddles. Because of this, caring for dogs isn’t just something I do at work; it’s built into my lifestyle. Becoming a public dog sitter is an exciting next step for me, since it allows me to take the skills I’ve built in a kennel setting and apply them in a more personal way, giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. In my own home, caring for pets is a constant part of daily life. I have three dachshunds, so I’m used to keeping up with regular feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and play. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and included as part of the family, whether that means structured walks or just cozy cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attentive approach while respecting each pet’s individual routine and needs. I stick to the feeding, walking, and play schedules the owner provides, and I take time to get to know the pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. My goal is always to make the transition smooth for both the pet and the owner, giving pets the same love and structure I give my own dogs.
About: I have been a pet appreciation magnet as long as I can remember. Even when I am not aiming for the attention, the pets gravitate my way, and i have scritches and belly rubs for them all. I have a rescue of my own for 6+ years now, bichon/poodle mix. Though he had a traumatic start before me, he has adjusted well and is a cuddle bug, and getting better with his socialization with new doggos. I have been a dog sitter for friends over the last 8+ years, when they go on trips. I have experience in minor training, like sit/stay/leash leading, for a few breeds up to 50-70 lbs (no certificates, just repitition and patience). Positive recognition of good behavior and moderate activity (to remedy the bad behavior) when you need me are what I hope to share with your furry family members. I am currently working part-time, so i can set up a schedule of regular pet attention care during part day time hours. Currently I have weekends free if weekend care is requested, though this may change if requests are light. I am working on my house to be able to provide overnight care in the future, making it care friendly for additional furry friends. I have a fenced in, good size yard, and a medium size fur baby of my own to greet stay over friends, though my house needs a little more time for prep before we are ready. I am happy to do drop-ins and day or eve walks at your home, and follow any/all your rules. I respect your needs and want to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy in my care. I keep trainer treats in my car, if we need to practice a few basic commands, as well as water and other care essentials. I have a back seat hammock/cover for the pet's safety when traveling (as needed). I also have a med to large dog kennel I can put in the way back of my SUV if that is preferred for safety and security.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals. I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since I was 10, and over the years I’ve volunteered with multiple rescues and animal organizations, giving me hands-on knowledge with pets of all personalities, sizes, and special needs. I currently own a farm, which means I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, shy rescues, and pets with unique routines. I provide a calm, confident presence, and I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are in pet care. Your pets will be treated like family, every visit. I’m available every week day from 10am to 7pm, and all hours on the weekend. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I am unavailable from 3:00-4:00, otherwise I have a flexible schedule. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I follow their usual routine, give medication if needed, clean up after them, refresh food and water, and make sure their space stays tidy. I spend quality time with each pet — playing, offering attention, and helping them feel relaxed while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets reliable care and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Ella is amazing! She’s reliable, flexible with scheduling, and always provides detailed updates after each walk. My dog Shelby loves her and is always happy and well taken care of when I get home. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking an easy, trustworthy sitter!”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid. My neighbors, friends, and family would always reach out to me to care for their dogs while away or just to walk and let them out on a busy day. I have some experience training dogs, grooming them, and giving medications. I have also helped foster dogs! I am active and love to walk and play with pups but can also act as a great companion or company! I work 3 days out of the week. I am looking to care for pets on the days that I am not working. My schedule differs each week. I am looking for something to keep me busy and entertained on those days! I am safe and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable coming into your home and handling your pet and of course cleaning up their messes! I love being outside, playing and being active! But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.
“Raelyn is an absolute pleasure! She’s incredibly attentive and makes accommodations specific to your pup’s needs. I’m so grateful to have her help me out! She’s also very responsive and sends detailed report cards and pictures every single day. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I would like to cuddle new buddies, probably give them a fresh nickname and too many treats (if allowed). Special treatment is an understatement, royal canine treatment would be more like it! I work full time but will be able to add weekend walks and checks for furry friends. I will enjoy spending time outdoors in the nicer weather. If the weather does not cooperate I hope your pup has a rain coat because I am a sucker for dogs in rain coats. I treat my housemates better than myself, they make the rules and I oblige them with a cheerful disposition. Filtered water? You bet. Don’t like that food anymore? No problem! Want to block my airway while sleeping? Cool, I can breathe later!
“Diana was wonderful to have to walk both my dogs, it was a last minute decision to use Rover for the first time and I’m happy I gave it a try. I would def recommend Diana and would surely use her again in the future. Thanks for everything!”
“Alysa was awesome with Charlie! He got his exercise and some play time with her and he loved it! If I ever need services again I will definitely be happy to have Alysa hang with Charlie when I am out of town!”

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs as a volunteer at the salem county humane society for over two years and have been a certified veterinary assistant for nearly three.

I love caring for dogs and walking them for as long as they may need I'm currently available all days and hours of the week including weekends. I'm open to every given opportunity. The only thing i cannot do is bring pets to my home. I care for pets as needed and requested by the client.

About: I've had pets my entire life and often pet sit for my close family. I enjoy meeting and caring for fur-babies, including taking them on walks. On Monday through Friday, I can stop by one to two times each day and can spend more time in the evening. I have more flexibility on weekends. I can come to your home to care for your fur baby. I currently have 2 mature cats who are territorial, so can't bring other pets into my home.

I can follow a set of instructions precisely and I care a lot about home safety, I am always sure to clean up after the animals and myself.
About: My love for dogs has been with me since I was a kid, but it truly took off when I got into hiking and the outdoors! There’s something magical about seeing a dog’s pure excitement on the trail—the way their tail wags nonstop, the burst of energy as they explore, and that unshakable bond they share with their humans. Watching my friends' dogs thrive on these adventures made me realize just how much I love being around dogs, and soon enough, I found myself pet sitting for coworkers while they traveled. That’s when everything clicked—I wasn’t just helping out, I was doing something that brought me real joy! Over the past two years, I’ve gained a deep understanding of dog behavior, problem-solving, and structured care. I know how important trust and communication are when it comes to caring for someone’s pet, and I always keep owners in the loop with updates and insights into their dog’s well-being. I’ve also developed a strong ability to read body language, making sure every dog I watch feels safe, comfortable, and excited for their time with me! Whether it’s juggling multiple dogs with different needs, sticking to medication and feeding schedules, or adapting to new situations with patience and confidence, I’m always ready to step up and provide the best possible care. Now that I’m back home in New Jersey, I’m beyond excited to continue this journey! I’m always looking to grow, learn, and bring even more love and energy to the dogs I care for. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly love doing! I can’t wait to meet your pup and make sure they’re happy, safe, and having the best time ever! I currently have full availability from Thursday to Sunday, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet. On Monday through Wednesday, I work a flexible schedule that still allows for drop-in services, walks, feeding, and other care needs. I am happy to work with your specific situation and can accommodate hybrid or work-from-home scenarios to ensure your dog receives the attention they deserve. Creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets is my top priority! I will adhere to your expectations and routines; Prepare meals and refresh water regularly; Provide daily walks, playtime, and exercises tailored to your dog's needs; maintain hygiene and grooming; Send updates and communication to pet owner; Secure outdoor areas and ensure leash handling during walks.
About: I have had an animal in my life since I was 7 years old. I currently have two fur babies of my own. Yoshi our tuxido cat and Reece our border collie. So needless to say I am use to the relaxed cat life and the always on the move life of a collie owner. I grew up with collies all my life so I am well versed in the high energy lifestyle! I am also a mom of three on the go children who now need mom less and less so I love to now get my snuggles from our adorble four legged friends!! I cant wait to meet your fur baby! I am currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. During the week M-F between the hours of 8-3 I am almost always available! Your fur baby will be treated the same way I treat my fur babies!! I live adjacent to a huge park so your pet will get plenty of space to run and play.
About: I bring hands-on, real-world experience from working at a professional dog daycare called Fetch, where I regularly supervised groups of 17–20 dogs at once. This taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play safely, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and enriched. Beyond daycare work, I’ve also done individual dog walking and spent time volunteering at local shelters, where I walked dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These experiences have helped me build patience, confidence, and strong handling skills. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun experience for them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I dedicate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays entirely to it. I treat pet care like a full-time responsibility on those days, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, play, feedings, and attention. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become my priority, and I make sure their routine is followed and their needs are fully met. In my own home, I’ve cared for my dog since he was a puppy—we started with crate training and now he enjoys playtime in our fenced yard and daily walks. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable with different routines and training styles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very flexible and always follow the routine their dog is used to. Whether that means crate time, specific walking schedules, certain feeding instructions, or favorite play activities, I make sure to care for their pet the same way they would. My goal is to keep each dog comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to what feels familiar to them.

“Our dog Bella stayed with Jill, Tommy, and their dogs when went on vacation. Bella stayed with them for a few daycare days prior to her week long stay. They were very welcoming and friendly. They took such great care of Bella. They updated us daily on how Bella was doing, along with pictures of her daily activities. This really made us enjoy our vacation even more knowing she was well cared for. They took her in as part of their family. We will definitely utilize them for day care and overnight stays in the future.”
“First-time Rover user here, and I was definitely a bit anxious going in but I didn’t need to be. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Andres. He’s easygoing, clearly great with dogs, and made the whole experience stress-free. My rescue chihuahua mix can be a little temperamental, especially around men, but Andres handled him without any issues. I also really appreciated the daily photo updates and quick check-ins—it gave me peace of mind knowing how my pup was doing. Overall, a really positive experience. Thanks again, Andres!”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Our pup had a great 1st stay with Beth! She communicated promptly, kept us updated with videos, and ensured our anxious furry family member was well-taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for more! :)”
“Jen is the best pet sitter!!! She loves our Ziggy and he’s so comfortable at her house. I get continuous updates during his stay and I never worry when he’s with her!!”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Marissa was fantastic with my dog! She took her on multiple walks and even to a dog park. I loved receiving pictures of all their fun adventures and cozy snuggles on the couch. Honestly, I was a little worried my dog might not want to come back home with us! 😂”
“You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.”
“This was my 2nd time using Carolyn & Jonathan for Brooklyn. They are amazing and they take care of Brooklyn like their own!!! Lots of walks & cuddles. They send lots of pictures and updates too! It’s so comforting to go away knowing she's in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using them again!!! 10/10 recommend!!!”
“This was my pup's second time staying with Trey and her second time having a safe and exciting place to stay while I was away. Tilly had so much fun playing with Trey's dogs and I could see from the updates that she was getting out and about and working off all her energy. Already have a time booked for later this summer!”
“Rose was an amazing sitter! I needed someone to look after my little Yorkie, Buttons, for a whole week and she was readily available despite the short notice. She took such good care of my dog and treated him as if he was her own. She sent me several pictures of Buttons each day, as well as little updates, which made me feel at peace with the decision I've made of choosing Rose to care for my dog. I will most definitely be a returning client if ever needed because I'll know that Buttons will be in good hands! She is the sweetest woman - I highly recommend her!”
“Andrea is awesome! Took such good care of our dog. Updated us everyday with videos and pictures. You could tell our dog was super happy and was treated like one of the family. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Brian was an amazing host for our dog. He was very communicative throughout the stay and shared many pictures and updates. Our dog was very well cared for and had a lot of fun with the family and other dogs. Will absolutely have our dog stay with Brian again.”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Took care of my dog perfectly and wrote a letter pretending it was my dog telling me what he did when he was with her. Would recommend to anyone looking to have their pet watched.”
