“Paul & Kathryn took great care of Tyson and sent me many pictures, he really enjoyed being with them and their children. I had no concerns leaving him in their care and will continue to reach out them as needed...”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“Bob is the absolute best. We are immeasurably thankful for the care and attention he provided to our dog. Full/complete communication before and during our dog’s stay with his family, pics of our canine each day. My dog looked/acted so happy when I picked her up, I think she thought she was treated to a spa vacation. Thank you Bob for everything you did for our little lady.”
“Lorrie was wonderful with Lola, she treated her like her own dog. It was the first time Lola spent time at someone else’s house without me and she had a great time with Lorrie and the other dogs there. She sent me pictures and videos often. I already booked her for my next trip because Lola had so much fun and I didn’t worry as I knew she was being taken good care of.”
“Wonderful sitter for my two sometimes-rambunctious dogs!!! William took great care of them while I was gone for nearly a week. He sent regular updates and loved my pups like his own! Will definitely be a returning customer! Highly recommend!”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“If we could give William 10 stars we would. Our Frenchie Rosie is a handful. She's a VELCRO dog that loves attention and needs to be by your side 24/7. She even got to sleep on "Uncle Bills" bed. He has a lot a patience. His dog Whiskey is extremely friendly, as well as the other dog in his care. There's a lot of room inside and out. Rosie came home happy, healthy and exhausted from her first 3 day vacation. We looking forward to seeing him again.”
“Jonathan and Rebecca were absolutely wonderful!! They communicated with me every day with an update on how my dog was doing and sent pics! Highly recommend this lovely family to take care of your pet!! ❤️”
About: I have dogs all my life, and adore animals. I am truly happier around animals, and keeping them company and safe while having fun as well. I am available on the weekends to take care of your pup and make sure they have the best time while their parents have a mini vacay. I have a big fenced yard where your pup is able to run around freely, and a cute little cute friendly Yorkie to keep your pup company.
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. My family got our first dog when I was two years old, a high energy pit bull mix who taught me how to keep up with active dogs and provide plenty of exercise and engagement. When I was twelve and then again when I was thirteen, we adopted a second and third dog both of which had much more relaxed personalities. Growing up with these two pups helped me learn how to care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet sitting services for family and friends on numerous occasions. My experience ranges from caring for dogs during extended family vacations to stopping by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while owners are away for the day. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I am experienced with basic puppy training, administering medications, maintaining routines, and adapting care to each dog's individual personality and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I currently work three nights per week as an EMT, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule and allows me to be available throughout most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or extended companionship while you are away, I am happy to accommodate their needs. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well socialized dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals. My home is stocked with toys, treats, fresh water, and comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and feel at home. I always follow owners' instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate use, and any other aspects of their pet's routine to help ensure a safe and stress free experience. For drop in visits and care in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I am happy to clean up after pets, refresh water bowls, provide meals, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency can be for dogs, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“Kevin is great with my dog Mocha. I feel at ease knowing she is in his care. Mocha always comes back as a happy pup, having been able to sniff around the yard and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“Anmol and Trupti are very loving sitters and my bichon Pye thrived quite happily under their care during my whole week away. I highly recommend them!!!”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! The greatest compliment I have received is that it's obvious how much I love the animals I work with. I have quite literally never enjoyed showing up to work as much as I do now. Thank you all for trusting me with your babies and your homes-- I do not take that responsibility lightly. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Dawn took care of my puppy for a week while I was out of state. She gave me twice daily updates with tons of pictures to show all of the fun and growth. He also received a lot of very well needed supervised socialization with other dogs that Dawn cares for, as well as her own dog. Snickers came home a much more obedient and well rounded dog. I truly appreciate all of the special care and love given to Snickers. I highly recommend Dawn!”

“Jamie has taken care of my 2 cats multiple times now and always does a great job! Whether it’s extras like making sure Cat TV is on for them, feeding, treats and playtime, the cats are always happy and well taken care of when I come back from trips :)”
“maribeth is amazing! samoas was so excited to see her and absolutely loved their walk around the development. she does a great job staying in touch and providing updates throughout the visit. i highly recommend her if you ever need a sitter, especially for last minute help!”
“Alyssa was amazing with my two kitties! I was so worried about leaving them with someone I didn’t know, but she was easy to communicate with and sent updates/pictures throughout their stay. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use her in the future when I leave town.”
About: I don’t just watch cats—I care for them with the same attention and affection I give to my own. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve also worked professionally with a pet-sitting company, where I gained hands-on experience with cats of every temperament, age, and personality. I understand that cats thrive when their routines feel safe and predictable, so I make it a priority to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat is shy, senior, playful, or a certified lap-lover, I adapt to their pace and comfort level. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and topical treatments, and I’m patient with senior kitties who may need a little extra support. Cleanliness is also incredibly important to me—I keep litter boxes spotless, food areas tidy, and your home as neat (or neater!) than you left it. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy building trust with cats. I take time to talk to them, play with them, and make sure they never feel lonely while you’re away. My goal is that you come home to a relaxed, happy cat—and complete peace of mind.
“This was Allison’s second time watching our cat Gio, and once again, she did an excellent job! Gio absolutely loves her, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and happy in her care. We feel completely at peace knowing he’s in such capable and loving hands. Allison is reliable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”
“Brittany was great with my kitties. Was receptive to any suggestions or changes that were made. Was very helpful when one of the cats got out because a friend of mine came to water the plants. All in all I would highly recommend her.”
“Taylor is excellent! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her and she gave them so much love and care during our extended time away! We came home to an incredibly tidy house as well! 10000% would recommend Taylor!”
“Dawn gave my cat great care. We have been struggling with a new diagnosis of thyroid disease and the past month has been difficult. She stepped right up and gave me peace of mind when leaving her. Zena and I thank you.”
“Heather is very dependable and caring towards our Moochi. Although it had been many months since Moochi had seen her, he remembered her and rubbed against her when he saw her. Heather is also a very good communicator. I highly recommend Heather!”
“Charlotte was the best! This was my first experience with Rover and she both helped me with the platform and put me at ease leaving them with someone new. She was a huge help by dropping in and feeding my pups and letting them out when I had a long day in the hospital. Definitely recommend!! She sent me cute pics as well. Thank you ?”
“Bridget took excellent care of our kitties while we were away! It was the first time leaving them and she made it as stress-free as possible for us. Daily pictures and updates were an added comfort. Teddy and Cooper are still talking about their new friend Bridget and how much fun they had! :) Thank you so much!!”
“Thank you so much! Nicholas went above and beyond for Harvey and even took him out to play with his favorite ball! Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again!”
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”
“Nora is awesome! She cared for our cat and really made him feel relaxed and comfortable, even right after our cat’s recent diabetes diagnosis requiring twice daily insulin injections. It’s clear she truly cares for and forms genuine connections with the pets she looks after. and we totally appreciated her photo and message updates while we were away!”
“Great job by Kamryn, was able to help take care of our cats and even brought in packages from our doorstep while we were out. Very helpful and nice, will be rebooking with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting/ drop in visits.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
“Evgenii was great in taking care of our puppy. This was her first time with a sitter and he made it easy for both of us by sharing constant pictures and updates. Highly recommend and Will definitely work with him again. - R”
“William was great we would personally use him again and highly recommend him. His pre-booking communication was awesome. During the stay he kept in contact with us letting us know how Hairy was doing and provided pictures throughout the stay.”
About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”

“Kevin is the best! My anxious cavapoo Cleo, absolutely loves staying with him! She is always so happy and relaxed with him! Kevin is incredibly kind, easygoing, and flexible, which makes coordinating everything so stress-free. His communication is always clear and consistent, and I never have to worry when Cleo is with him. The biggest thing for me is how comfortable and happy Cleo feels in his care! Highly, highly recommend Kevin!”
About: I absolutely love cats and dogs and hope to have my own one day. I grew up with a yellow lab and a cocker spaniel who still have a huge part of my heart. Until I have my own, I’m happy to help others when they need supervision for their pets. I work from home and am available to keep them company ♥️ I work full time from home and have a huge yard so they would be well taken care of and attended to on a daily basis. I have a fenced in yard but would keep them inside most of the time (unless you prefer otherwise!). My house is a ranch so if steps are a problem - we won’t have issues here!
“Lorrie is understand, helpful and communicative. She took time to discuss over a phone call for my dogs needs and we set up a day stay before a longer sit! Highly recommend.”
“Sarah was so great! She took wonderful care of Lady and was very easy to get in touch with. She bonded with Lady quickly and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her if you ever need a dog sitter, walker, etc. Thank you Sarah!”
“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”
“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Brian And his wife were so lovely with my dog! Before His first daycare day, we did a meet and greet where they asked throughtful questions about his meal sensitivities and tried to make him feel very comfortable. Would recommend 😊”

When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”
“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”

“So damn fortunate to have found Bianca. As pet owners, everyone is familiar with the apprehension that accompanies when you have to trust a stranger with your pets or like I say “Your Heart and Soul”. My boys are uber spoiled and Bianca’s level of patience with them….I couldn’t ask for anything more. She is communicative, punctual, extremely professional. She took the time to truly listen and understand Buddy and Brody’s personalities - their likes and dislikes - their joys and anxieties. As a pet owner, one can’t ask for anything more. The only aspect that behooves me is why does she not charge more for her services? Lol. All kidding aside, she is a Godsend for pet owners. B, once again thank you for you.”
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, I can provide energetic walks for dogs who need exercise while also giving gentle attention to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you know they’re in great hands. I’m a stay-at-home mom of two school-aged children and am looking for flexible work that allows me to care for pets during school hours. My schedule is open on weekdays while my children are in school, and for certain walks or drop-in visits, my kids may accompany me when appropriate. I’m reliable, active, and love spending time outdoors with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own and treat every pet as if they were part of my family. I follow owners' instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

“I was very hesitant to use rover. I did not like the idea of random people just coming into my home. Then we found Nicholas and I am so happy we used rover. He has helped me out so many times and my 3 year old golden doodle loves him. I highly recommend using Nicholas if you’re looking for an amazing person to care for your dog.”

“Paul & Kathryn took great care of Tyson and sent me many pictures, he really enjoyed being with them and their children. I had no concerns leaving him in their care and will continue to reach out them as needed...”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“Lorrie was wonderful with Lola, she treated her like her own dog. It was the first time Lola spent time at someone else’s house without me and she had a great time with Lorrie and the other dogs there. She sent me pictures and videos often. I already booked her for my next trip because Lola had so much fun and I didn’t worry as I knew she was being taken good care of.”
“Wonderful sitter for my two sometimes-rambunctious dogs!!! William took great care of them while I was gone for nearly a week. He sent regular updates and loved my pups like his own! Will definitely be a returning customer! Highly recommend!”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“If we could give William 10 stars we would. Our Frenchie Rosie is a handful. She's a VELCRO dog that loves attention and needs to be by your side 24/7. She even got to sleep on "Uncle Bills" bed. He has a lot a patience. His dog Whiskey is extremely friendly, as well as the other dog in his care. There's a lot of room inside and out. Rosie came home happy, healthy and exhausted from her first 3 day vacation. We looking forward to seeing him again.”
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. My family got our first dog when I was two years old, a high energy pit bull mix who taught me how to keep up with active dogs and provide plenty of exercise and engagement. When I was twelve and then again when I was thirteen, we adopted a second and third dog both of which had much more relaxed personalities. Growing up with these two pups helped me learn how to care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet sitting services for family and friends on numerous occasions. My experience ranges from caring for dogs during extended family vacations to stopping by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while owners are away for the day. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I am experienced with basic puppy training, administering medications, maintaining routines, and adapting care to each dog's individual personality and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I currently work three nights per week as an EMT, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule and allows me to be available throughout most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or extended companionship while you are away, I am happy to accommodate their needs. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well socialized dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals. My home is stocked with toys, treats, fresh water, and comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and feel at home. I always follow owners' instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate use, and any other aspects of their pet's routine to help ensure a safe and stress free experience. For drop in visits and care in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I am happy to clean up after pets, refresh water bowls, provide meals, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency can be for dogs, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“Anmol and Trupti are very loving sitters and my bichon Pye thrived quite happily under their care during my whole week away. I highly recommend them!!!”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! The greatest compliment I have received is that it's obvious how much I love the animals I work with. I have quite literally never enjoyed showing up to work as much as I do now. Thank you all for trusting me with your babies and your homes-- I do not take that responsibility lightly. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Dawn took care of my puppy for a week while I was out of state. She gave me twice daily updates with tons of pictures to show all of the fun and growth. He also received a lot of very well needed supervised socialization with other dogs that Dawn cares for, as well as her own dog. Snickers came home a much more obedient and well rounded dog. I truly appreciate all of the special care and love given to Snickers. I highly recommend Dawn!”
About: I absolutely love cats and dogs and hope to have my own one day. I grew up with a yellow lab and a cocker spaniel who still have a huge part of my heart. Until I have my own, I’m happy to help others when they need supervision for their pets. I work from home and am available to keep them company ♥️ I work full time from home and have a huge yard so they would be well taken care of and attended to on a daily basis. I have a fenced in yard but would keep them inside most of the time (unless you prefer otherwise!). My house is a ranch so if steps are a problem - we won’t have issues here!
“Both my dogs felt at home and had a great time during their stay. Maureen took great care of them and kept up updated with lots of pictures. We are so glad we choose to board them with Maureen.”
“Jamie , had been amazing with our dog-Honey. She sends regular updates , is very communicative and offers her care and warmth. We have been using her services since last year, and Honey enjoys his stay and is comfortable here. We highly recommend Jamie for dog sitting services.”
“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
