“Vanessa took the best care of our 20 week old puppy during his first stay away from us.

Plenty of updates and pictures to help provide added ease of mind. Thank you Vanessa ?????”

This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“AMAZING service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dogs came back home happy & i had constant communication with Elias during the dogs stay, which was great, he even sent a few videos and pictures of the dogs at his house during the stay that made me miss them a little less; would and will repeat without a doubt!

They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”

Jennifer did wonderful job taking care of Huckleberry, and we definitely recommend Jennifer!”
“I can't say enough good things about Rachel! Leaving my fur baby, Lucy, was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but Rachel made it so much easier. She sent daily updates and pictures, so I could see Lucy’s sweet face and know she was in good hands. Rachel was incredibly attentive and caring, and it's clear she loves animals just as much as I do. When I picked Lucy up, she was beaming with joy and looked like she'd been well taken care of. I was so impressed with how Rachel had followed her routine and given her all the snuggles and love she needed. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for making my trip so much less stressful and for being an amazing caregiver to my little girl!”

“Anwar was so great with my Pit mix and you could tell his love for animals the moment you meet him. My dog seems like he really enjoyed his stay and I am so grateful to have someone like Anwar to trust and take care of my pit while I was away.”

She was right on time for our first visit and thoughtfully took notes on small details to remember for her drop by visits. We felt at ease on vacation knowing she would be looking in on our kitties. Highly recommend.”
About: I love cats! When I was little we had originally 4 outdoor/indoor females that turned into 13 cats. The past 4 years I fostered before I moved to fill my heart, but also have a cat of my own. I’ve cat sat for 2 different families for long periods of time, and I’ve always been asked back. I truly do love cats!
“I travel for work and it can be unpredictable at times. I often get delayed and/or dates change. Lauren is extremely flexible with me and my 2 boy kitties love her. I'm so thankful to have her as my usual sitter!”
“I chose Natalie due to all the great reviews and she was very local to me which made it easier for both her and for our needs. She was great, got updates after every visit and pictures. The cats look like they got a little spoiled actually! Before we even left for our trip, she came over to review the situation and our needs and made sure we had everything laid out and ready for her to make it as easy as possible for her, us, and the kitties.”
“Marissa has been wonderful caring for our two cats Chonk and Chowder! She is very reliable and updates you on her visits. This is our third year with Marissa and we feel very confident when she visits and know that our kitties are well taken care of! Thank you so much Marissa:)”
“Christa is amazing! We needed her last minute to let our dogs out when we weren’t home and she was able to stop by that night to meet us and them and then was there promptly the next day to care for them. She sent great pictures and her communication was excellent. We will definitely use her again!”
“Daniela was great. She watched our two cats while we were away. Even our senior cat, who is very shy of new people, warmed up to Daniela right away. Definitely happy to have someone can trust to look after our cats when we have to go away for work.”
About: Hello, I am 33 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I used to work at an Emergency OverNight Hospital for small animals (dogs and cats) I specialize in walking reactive aggressive dogs (I have a GSD that does not like other dogs) as well as escape artist dogs. I've had numerous different breeds, from hound dogs to huskies, so I am used to all temperaments. I love animals and have a lot of patience when it comes to animals. I don't mind walking in the rain and I always carry an extra harness, leash, and freeze dried lamb treats! I believe dogs are more then just family and deserve to be treated like it. I believe pets do better when watched inside of their own home, rather then going to a strangers or being boarded, I work from home so I will never leave your pet alone for more then an hour at a time, ensuring less crate time and a better balance for your pet. I work from home so I am always available for any emergency, no chewed up toys or foreign bodies on my watch! I never leave pets for more then an hour ( if i need to run to the grocery store) so whatever they need, I am there for. I prefer to stick the the routine that the owners have already set. I also prefer to do a meet and greet before any over night pet sitting to ensure I am the best fit for your pet and your pets needs. I believe that pets are family and should be treated as such.
“Miranda did a great job watching over my two cats, Ninja and Scraps while I was away on vacation. I definitely would recommend her and will be using her again in the future! She left great notes and made me feel at ease while I was away. 😁 Thank you. This was the first time I have used Rover and it was a great experience. Miranda also help me understand how to use the app since I made some silly mistakes.”
About: Cats have a very special place in my heart, and I know that each cat has their own personality and needs. I’ve fostered 8 cats, caring for all personalities, ages, and needs, from kittens under 8 weeks old to senior cats. I’ve worked with cats that need medication, were overweight or underweight, required special diets, were scared and under socialized, or just needed extra patience and time to adjust to new people and a new environments. I’ve had lots of experience with cats who scratch or bite out of fear, so I have no problem taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I also have two cats of my own, and they were both very shy and nervous at first. After taking the time to build their confidence, they have become the most cuddly and trusting cats. I’m also the trusted sitter for many of my friends and family, so I’m comfortable looking after cats that have different routines and care needs. I’ll respect their boundaries and keep them on their normal routine, giving them the attention and love they deserve. My goal is to make your cat feel as relaxed and cared for as possible while you’re away, sending you lots of pictures and videos!
About: I have taken care of both adult cats and kittens for over a decade. Both of my cats at home are fully vaccinated and fixed males. I am experienced in feeding, litter box cleaning, administering medication, and have many toys for them to play with.
About: As a lifelong cat owner since age 11, I’m very in tune with feline behavior and needs. I understand that every cat is different, and I take a gentle, patient approach to make sure each one feels secure, respected, and cared for in their own way.
“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”
“Lindsay was great with Maddie, who is a cat BTW, and made sure to keep me updated on how she was doing the entire time I was away. I would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone needing boarding care for their cat or dog and I will not hesitate to book her again. She is a real gem!! Thank you Lindsay!!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cookstown
“Vanessa is the real deal! My puppy has so much fun when she spends the day with Vanessa and she absolutely crashes out for hours when she gets home! Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Davina is great with my Jack! He goes to her house 3 days a week while I'm at work. He gets so excited when we show up and he runs straight to the door. She is very transparent with his care and she makes sure all his needs are met. Even providing him with a coat when he didn't want to go out in the rain 🥰 I highly recommend Davina for your pet care!”
“Gerry is so sweet and takes great care of my pup! My dog comes home very happy after her time with Gerry. I am so thankful for the love and care she gives to my girl!”
“Megan went way above and beyond what was expected. She is a great communicator and I knew that my giant baby of a dog was in great hands so I was really able to enjoy my time. Megan was very pleasant and easy to deal with, I highly recommend her! A++++.”
“She's an awesome caretaker, updating me about all the minute details about my pet. My pet was so comfortable with her and I can tell he really got along with her. The best part is her attention to every detail and investing time in updating me with every thing. 11/10 would definitely recommend her and I personally look forward to leave my pet with her again.”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs. I have babysat and cared for friends dogs and also for my own dog. I recently adopted a cat so I also have a little over a year of experience with looking over cats. I have lots of free time to be able to play and care for your pets. I don’t have many distractions during the day meaning my full attention will be caring for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a pretty spacious home. There is lots of room for my cat to roam around. He even has his own room and his own bathroom. There isn’t a lot of traffic around my neighborhood so I like to let my cat outside on a leash so he can feel the sun on his face.
“I feel super comfortable leaving Gordon with Melissa and Dan. I know he's in good hands as I can tell they are animal lovers, 100%. Thank you so much for inviting my pup into your home <3”
“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
About: We own two large dogs- an Australian cattle dog/Anatolian shepherd/Hound mix, and a yellow Labrador retriever. They are very high energy and unique with lively personalities. We love to take them on bicycle rides/walks through the woods and neighborhood. We both have experience with dogs- John dog-sat as a child and has had family dogs as well, and I grew up on a farm with 10-15 inside/outside dogs all my life as well as many other animals. We have a big back yard that is fenced in, we also live next to a big state park that is loads of fun for any animal! Our entire family and our friends also have dogs, so when we all get together we usually have about 12-14 dogs all together at once running around playing and having fun! We would love to be able to help others who own dogs and have a busy schedule live life while knowing their beloved pet is well taken care of!
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Up until recently, I have raised 2 dogs for the past 15 years and cats prior to/during part of that time. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 young adults away at college so I have flexibility to visit homes with dogs or cats throughout the day. My innate ability to connect with animals has inspired me to seek out work where I may spend more time caring for them. I understand the care and concern pet owners have for their pets, especially when they are not able to be home for them. My experience being the primary caregiver for my own pets has nurtured my love for animals and provided me with knowledge of basic training techniques. It is my goal to provide peace of mind that I will care for your pet the same as I would for my own furry loved one. I look forward to visiting with new furry friends! I am currently home all days of the week except midday Tuesdays. Therefore, I have flexibility to visit pets throughout the day on most days. I am currently living in a neighborhood with ample space for walks. In addition, I have reliable transportation for visits to clients’ homes as necessary.
“Roseanne’s home was calm and peaceful - exactly what my little old man needed. She and her boys gave him lots of snuggles and hugs, but best of all - he got his first ever time swimming in the pool - he loved it!! (And I loved the video). What a wonderful day he had.”
“Trusting anyone with your pet, especially a young puppy, is always nerve wrecking. From the moment that I first spoke with Vickie I felt completely reassured that Denali was in good hands. Vickie and Heath are such kind, compassionate people and it shows in how they interact with the pets in their care. Denali is always SO EXCITED to get out of the car when she sees that we’re at their house, and comes home happy and exhausted from having so much fun. They are flexible, reliable, honest and even gave helpful tips when they noticed Denali starting to eat grass. I cannot recommend them enough for daycare/boarding!”
“This was our first time using Angela to take care of our dogs and it was a great experience. She was very responsive and had good communication with me while my dogs were at her house. My dogs definitely enjoyed their time. We will use her again in the future for our dog sitting needs.”
“Lenny is very accommodating and caring! I am very grateful to have found her for Oreo. Oreo is now 15 yrs old and gets anxious, but Lenny has made her feel safe and comfortable! I highly recommend her and rely on her for Oreo!”

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with 20 years of experience in general practice, emergency & critical care, and radiation oncology. My career has been dedicated to providing attentive, high level care to animals, with a focus on safety, comfort, and individualized attention. As a military spouse for the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in veterinary practices across the country, gaining extensive specialty experience and caring for pets with a wide range of medical and emotional needs. These experiences shaped my calm, adaptable approach and deep understanding that every pet deserves thoughtful, personalized care. I am certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS CPR) and Advanced Life Support (ALS CPR), and I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious pets, post procedure/operative patients, and medically complex animals who benefit from experienced handling and close observation. My goal is to provide a seamless, stress free experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your pet prefers quiet companionship, structured routines, or extra reassurance while you’re away, they will be cared for with professionalism, patience, and genuine affection. I understand the level of trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to offer the same level of attentiveness and reliability I would want for my own animals. After spending 20 years in veterinary specialty hospitals, I’ve decided to step away from clinical medicine and focus on what I love most, providing compassionate, personalized care for pets in my community. My background allows me to comfortably care for pets with specialized medical needs, seniors, anxiety, medications, and post-procedure care. While safety and medical knowledge are a huge part of my experience, my goal now is simple: to give pets the love, comfort, cuddles, patience, and pampering they deserve. As someone who understands that unexpected work trips, emergencies, long days, and last minute plans happen, I purposely keep my schedule as open and flexible as possible to help support pet owners when they need it most. At this time, I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home environment rather than offering in home boarding or daycare services. I currently have pets of my own at home, and I believe this allows me to give your pet the safest, calmest, and most individualized experience possible in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Providing care in your home also helps minimize stress, maintain routines, and allows me to focus on personalized attention, specialized care, cuddles, companionship, and pampering tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
About: I currently have a 4 year old beagle named Louie that I adore! Growing up I’ve had big dogs (Rhodesian ridge backs, pit bull mixes) and I’ve had little dogs (min pin, miniature poodle, and beagles) so no matter the size or age I am confident that I could handle them. I have a long hair cat and a beagle so I am used to scooping cat litter, picking up dog poop, and I’m not afraid of the occasional puke haha. I don’t mind grooming any size animal if necessary While pet sitting in the past I follow their feeding regime and would walk animals every couple hours. Of course give extra loves to pets while owners are away so they feel happy. Also lots of playing with them and their toys!
“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!
“Vanessa is absolutely amazing! my dog was a little nervous & she did everything perfect! & loved my pup up!! she also sent so many pictures which we LOVED! if you need someone & are hesitant go with vanessa!!”
“Debbie is remarkable! Her love for my pup Charlie is a constant, and it shows in every interaction they have. Charlie absolutely adores her and gets so excited whenever she arrives. Debbie is dependable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie is happy, safe, and well cared for. She gives me complete peace of mind knowing he's in such loving and capable hands. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker, and I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”
About: Over the past few years I have been caring for family and friends pets while they are away. I have just fell in love with all the dogs I have meet along the way. I also have spent time walking at a local rescue which has just taught me so much about dogs and how to be around them and work with them on and off the leash. I continue to grow and learn something new from each dog I work with. It’s a great pleasure of mine. I’m a stay at home mom with both my boys off at school during the day so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I offer drop in visit, dog walking and even over night visits in your home. I will care for your pets like I would care for my own. I will give them lots of love and affection with safety being number 1. I am very careful to follow all the owners need and wants when caring for their pets. I love sharing updates and picture with the owners on my visits. I take pride in my work and make sure I am on time for every job. I am careful to lock up behind me and make sure the pets are secure before leaving them. I am very respectful of people’s home and property as well.
“Daniel has been working with my dog for the past few weeks, and I can’t thank him enough. He is always on time, and always messages me before he gets to the house, as well as when he leaves. As soon as he met my dog, I could tell he was trustworthy and a huge dog lover. I always feel secure knowing that he is on the way looking after my pup. Cannot recommend him enough!”
“She is extremely flexible and easy to communicate with. She does such a great job with Jameson and even gives love and attention to the cats while she is there!”
“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”
About: Hi! My name is Madelyn, and I am a dog momma! I have never known my life without dogs, and I believe they make the world a brighter place! I can walk your dog, do home check ins, or any service that you may need! I also have two very sweet fur babies myself, so if needed, they will always have friends to play with! My husband is in the Air Force, and I work from home, so I am always available day or night! No matter what you need, I am here for you. I would love to take care of your babies. I have a fenced in yard that your dogs can play in, as well as two dogs of my own for your babies to play with! Both of my dogs are fully vaccinated, and have regular vet visits. I am also able to take your babies to the park if you are comfortable with that as well.
About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!
About: I have cared for dogs at every stage of life since I was a child. I am particularly adept at managing litters, having successfully trained multiple puppies at once to encourage good behavior and social confidence. My professional background in restorative practices makes me an exceptionally observant sitter, perfect for pets with anxiety or those needing strict medical recovery protocols. From the specialized needs of a senior to the round-the-clock energy of a new litter, I provide reliable, high-quality care that honors your pet's unique personality. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am working a flexible part time job so I have plenty of free time to spend with animals and take care of their needs. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that had a fenced in dog area and lots of walking trails. I personally home cook my dogs food so if there are special diet restrictions I have experience. I love spending time bonding with my animals and would put that time into someone else’s pets to make them feel loved and safe whether that’s cuddling, wrestling, playing ball or dog walking.

“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“AMAZING service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dogs came back home happy & i had constant communication with Elias during the dogs stay, which was great, he even sent a few videos and pictures of the dogs at his house during the stay that made me miss them a little less; would and will repeat without a doubt! Thank you!”
“Chastidy is a bonafide dog whisperer. My senior dog was taken care of exceptionally well and spent time with and befriended dogs of similar size/ energy. Definitely recommend her!”
“Melissa and Dan gave us the best first experience anyone could ever hope for. I was also shocked to get updates and pictures to show my friends while I was on my trip. I have definitely been recommending their services!! Bear had an amazing time!”
“Kathleen was more than accommodating to my dog axel. She took us on as a last minute booking and communicated with us for axels entire stay! She sent tons of pictures and axel genuinely looked so happy to be there. He loved running in her big back yard and going on nice walks with her everyday. She had tons of toys for him to play with as well. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be using her again! We are so glad we found her.”
“Anwar was so great with my Pit mix and you could tell his love for animals the moment you meet him. My dog seems like he really enjoyed his stay and I am so grateful to have someone like Anwar to trust and take care of my pit while I was away.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ivelisse! She took such amazing care of Omen while I was away. She was kind, patient, and genuinely loved animals. She was so attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and playtime, and even went out of her way to feed him when he ran out of food, something I truly appreciated. I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and caring with pets!”
“I adopted my dog Kira this year who has a rare esophagus disorder. She has numerous challenges with this condition and I knew I would never find a boarding facility that could properly and safely care for her if I traveled. I became depressed, rarely leaving or having an afternoon out without rushing home to care for her. When I discovered Lindsay on Rover.com and learned that she was a vet tech, I finally had some hope that I found a dogsitter that could care for my special needs girl. Lindsay watched Kira on an overnight stay and I'm thrilled and so grateful for the wonderful care she received! I knew upon meeting Lindsay, that Kira would be in safe hands. She sent updates and photos throughout the day...Kira was so well taken care of and enjoyed her stay. I'm so thankful to you Lindsay...you've made a world of difference for Kira and I. 💜🩷”
“If you are looking for the absolute best for your pet - this is what you want. Tom is amazing! From our meet and greet, to checking vaccination records, then taking all of our dogs needs into consideration , and sending pictures and videos ! I have photos of my dog that looks like I paid a photographer ! What an experience. Five stars isn’t enough. Tom is the best, hands down, for you and your pets needs. Don’t look any further , book and rest easy whatever your plans. Enjoy! Thank you Tom for taking of Buddy like he was family! My buddy has new friends, and I will never hesitate to take a vacation again. It ended up being a vacation for my pup too !”
“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”
“We 1000% recommend Nantikan! She was highly responsive and flexible from the initial meet and greet to the time we picked our dog up (who didn’t want to come home!) Nantikan is very caring and knowledgeable and her home provided a safe, comfortable, fun place for our dog to stay while we were away. She provided updates to ease our minds and we quickly learned we had nothing to worry about. Our dog is already looking forward to going back!”
“We traveled from out of state and needed someone to watch our pup while we were at Sesame Place and having our dog stay with Meghan was so helpful! Very flexible with pickup and drop off and sent lots of pictures of our dog enjoying his time there.”
“Anish & Aaheli were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day—it was reassuring to know he was happy and being well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“My dog’s stay with Teresa and her family went perfectly. I was nervous dropping him off due to him having a medical issue a few days prior to drop off. Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
