“I have left my pup with Gavin many times. Gavin is very easy to work with, and is so good with my dog who is always happy to go to Gavin's home. Highly recommend.”

“Bonni took great care of my 15-pound dog and she sent me several cute pictures. Bonni also graciously refunded a portion of my booking fee when I decided, with short notice, to bring my dog a day later than I originally planned. Overall, great experience and I knew my dog was in good hands so I didn't have to worry during my trip. Bonni also did a meet-and-greet before the stay so that my dog would be familiar with her home.”


“Pat has been watching Beau during the daytime for some time now and recently we left him a 4 over nights for the first time. We had no worries leaving him with Pat and felt assured he would be well taken care of. Beau is always happy and excited to see Pat which makes us happy. Pat sent us several updates during his stay and anytime that I asked how beau was doing, Pat would quickly respond. In one of the photo updates we noticed Beau had an additional dog tag, which we came to find out was Pat's contact information. Small details like that confirm that Pat really cares for Beau.”

“Highly, highly recommend Rosalia. She provided great daily updates with multiple photos, and I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable in all of them. We also always have a sense of how things went when we pick him up, and that also made it clear that he'd enjoyed Rosalia's! Couldn't have been more perfect. She also has a very secure setup at her home, so, even though our dog has tried to make a run for it in the past due to his high prey drive, we didn't worry about that one bit when he was with Rosalia!”

“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Hossanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Azula. From the start, she was so accommodating and kind, and she even met with us for two walks before Azula’s stay, which made a huge difference in helping us feel comfortable. I have very detailed (and sometimes neurotic) instructions when it comes to my dog, and Hossanna never once made me feel bad about that. She was patient, understanding, and clearly cared about doing things right for Azula. She sent us many thoughtful photos throughout the stay, and it was obvious Azula was comfortable, happy, and safe in her care. If she would have us again, I would absolutely book with her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”

“Josh was very positive in our dealings and made both our dog Oreo and ourselves extremely confortable. We are looking forward to more bookings with Josh in the future.”

“It is so nice to be able to be away from our boy and know that he is being well-taken care of. We are blessed to have Cecilia and Dan love and care for our boy. They are wonderful!!!”

“Courtnay was amazing with my Callie. She is usually afraid of strangers and can be aggressive, but she immediately took to Courtnay. I was so impressed with her confidence and knowledge of dogs! Would 100% recommend.”

“Our dog Darcey appears to have really enjoyed himself he seemed to not want to come home. He even learned to swim which he never did before. I would definitely book again as he was well taken care of and I believe he really enjoyed himself.”

“Cindy is awesome! The added plus is Dasha! Both took care of our Gin so well! Gin had a blast! Cindy ensures everything is covered and communicates often with pictures and videos. We just wished we could take Dasha back home with us. Thank you Cindy for taking such good care of our Gin!”

“Chad was amazing with Dakota. We were skeptical at first because this was our first time having to leave our fur baby somewhere. Chad was responsive and caring. Definitely booking with him next time.”

About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”

“Doug was so easy to work with and accommodating. My dogs had a lovely time with him. Even though one of my girls got sick with tummy troubles a couple of days before the stay, he agreed to still watch all 3. Stellar experience overall”

“Patricia does a great job caring for my two small dogs. One of my dogs recently had a tummy issue, and was still weaning back to kibble from a chicken & rice diet when they went to Patricia's. Patricia was willing to follow the schedule I provided, and mix my dog's kibble with chicken and rice to finish weaning her back to pure kibble. My dogs get along with Patricia's small dog, Sophie, and enjoy their surroundings during their stay (Patricia has a beautiful patio and spends time with them outside). They always come back happy and healthy. Patricia is a great sitter!”

“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”

“Celine was awesome! She took awesome care of our baby and she communicated with us every day. Our dog was very well taken care for and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Lauren did a great job communicating what was going on with my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her willingness to be flexible, like turning on the AC for him, when needed. She’s a kind person who’s great with animals, and I’d definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Leah was fantastic! Super communicative and responsive, incredibly sweet to our two cats and accommodating of their needs, and provided us with daily updates, photos & videos which was so lovely while we were away. She even vacuumed around the little boxes before we got home, which was above Ana beyond. We’d absolutely rebook with Leah again.”


“Firey is a great cat sitter! Very attentive to my cats needs and feeding requirements, and gave daily updates for each check-in. She did a great job getting my shy cats to warm up to her! Thanks again!”

“Jessica is so flexible with the schedule . She was patient with one of our kitties who is bit territorial towards her . She also helped out with watering the indoor plants.”


“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

“Angela is a delight. She spends a lot of time with each pet, doing things that make each one feel comfortable and seen. She even cozied up on the floor to make a newer member of the pet family feel like home. She also sends tons of pictures, which is great! I love seeing them being well taken care of. Definitely will ask to help again in the future.”

“This was the first time Eden watched our cat. But it won’t be the last. She did an excellent job. Callie was well taken care of. Eden sent photos and communicated with us everyday.”


“Sara is incredible!! She stayed at our house to watch our two cats for a week. We're always nervous trusting someone new with our pets, but Sara put out mind at ease even from the meet and greet with her obvious knowledge and passion. We got frequent updates/photos, she was very accommodating of our kitties quirks, and happy to help with small extra requests (checking mail, putting food out for outdoor cats, etc). When we got back home, everything was clean and tidy, and all critters were happy. Communication, friendliness, cleanliness, and level of care all 10/10. Can't recommend Sara enough, hope she's available in the future!”


“Marliee was great! She took really great care of my sweet kitty Takoyaki. She is super responsive to texts and requests, and is very attentive and goes above and beyond! She is a crazy cat lady in the best way possible. My cat loved her! I would definitely recommend her services.”

“Brigit was awesome and lovely! Very communicative and always answered questions! Made our trip so much less stressful! Will definitely ask her to watch our babies again!”


“There’s no better compliment than a repeat customer. Josephine is phenomenal! She’s the most thorough, compassionate, and loving sitter my cats have ever had. When she walks through my door my cats run right up to her. It provides me a lot of comfort when I’m away knowing that Josephine is caring for my fur babies. I will absolutely be using her services in the future when she’s available.”


“Larkin was great at communicating and taking care of my kitten! She’s very friendly and took great care of our house as well. My kitten, who is often skittish around new people, was super comfortable with her and seemed content when I got home. So glad to have found such a responsible and kind person to hangout with my pet!”

“Hannah went above and beyond taking care of my cat Fidel. She was constantly giving me updates ans she was super responsive when I had questions. I could see that she truly cared about my fur baby. She helped me with my packages and even took the trash out with my ask. I highly recommend her services.”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

About: I've had cats most of my adult life, most of which were rescues. I've fostered cats in the past and can usually get even the most timid kitties to warm up to me. I'd love to give your fur babies love and pets while you're away.

“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”

“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”

“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”

“Peter did a great job with our dog despite the challenges that a young dog brings. He was extremely professional and took care of our dog like his own. We received updates and photos throughout the day which was great as well. He has a real passion for dogs and is a caring & trustworthy person. Thanks again!”
“Melinda was wonderful! She was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior, and that put us much more at ease. Our dog is deaf, so it’s always a little stressful having him stay with someone else for the first time, but he had an amazing time, and we would absolutely book with Melinda again!”

“Cindy was great with my 2 year old baby. I sent Sandia for my 12 hour shifts and Cindy was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I got lots of picture updates. Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”

About: Hello! I am very experienced in any and all dog needs. I work from home, can provide enriching walks, and also have a huge fenced in back yard. I live with one very well trained and friendly dog of my own and am passionate about giving dogs amazing experiences! I work from home, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like! Typically, I leave my house for the gym once a day. I take care of every dog like they are my own. I have one well-trained and friendly pup of my own that yours can play with while they are here! There is a large and safe area for them to run around outside, as well as be cared for inside. No rooms or surfaces are off limits for pets, aside from sleeping in my bed.
“Kim is absolutely amazing & super accommodating! She takes very good care of our furry boys. Finch & Cash are always all smiles and tired from their play time with her :) I highly recommend her for your fur babies.”


“Tracy was incredibly kind and caring with our fur baby, she was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during her stay. Also super flexible! Our pup loved Tracy!”


About: Since starting with Rover I have gone from a pet "empty-nester" and working part time, to finding my own rescue dogs and not working outside the home at all! I'm looking for dogs that fill my house with joy and who I can pamper, and walk, and play and just hang out with. Most days I'll be available to spend quality one-on-one time with your dog. I've got a great fenced and gated back yard with sun and shade, a house that is pet friendly, and a neighborhood that is full of parks and sidewalks for leisurely walks. I'm looking for well-behaved and socialized dogs. I don't want them to dig, bark excessively, pee in the house, or be aggressive - even a little. I'm an experienced dog sitter who has been working with Rover since 2016, and I've been a dog and cat owner for over 30 years. My caring for your dog will include finding out what they want and are used to, and making sure they receive it, so they will feel happy and safe. I will be home most of the days that your pet is staying with me. We will take walks and they will be able to go in and out of the house as they desire. I'm also known for being available for ball fetch and tug of war! I have a fenced in yard and a house that is safe for animals of all sizes. If your pet is crate trained please bring their crate, and don't forget their bed, which will be their comfort zone at night. My dog enjoys visitors and is not possessive about her space, toys or food. I'm focused on pet care, and generally don't leave the dogs alone more than a couple of hours at a stretch. The household rises early and it's lights out by 9 PM. My back yard is enclosed with a wall and two gates. I live in a residential area and it is quiet and peaceful inside and out and I am able to keep the dogs separated from doors to the outside should we be welcoming four-legged or two-legged guests.
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
About: I love looking after animals and making them feel loved and cared for. Your animal’s safety and care is my top priority. In addition to frequently, dog, cat and housesitting, I also have two dogs of my own. If I am housing your dogs in my space, they will get along great with your pet, as they are very friendly dogs. I am open to both housesitting and boarding your dogs. I love to take frequent walks, many play breaks, and snuggles if your animals like to cuddle. I have experience with anxious animals, and I know how to be a calming presence that respect their boundaries and make them feel comfortable. I have experience with both very small dogs up to very very big dogs. I currently work from home, so if I’m boarding your pet or house sitting, I can work while taking care of your furry friends! I walk dogs daily, let them out to use the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, and love to play and cuddle! At my home, I have a small enclosed yard and never leave things out that animals can get into. At yours, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure to keep them safe.

“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”

“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”

“Bonni was good with our little Havanese dog. I liked the yard area including some grass. Bonni was accommodating to our schedule of daytime/evening schedules. We took our dog with us at night. Thanks Bonni!”

“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”

“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”

“Leah is fantastic with Dobby. Our first meet and greet last month went very well with my normally reactive dog. But once Dobby sensed Leah’s energy - kind and safe - he had trust in her. He is excited when he see’s Leah and they have really good walks where his tongue is hanging out. We are grateful to have Leah help out with walking Dobby each week!”

“Thank you for the quick response. Sombra is awesome and usually have a friend pick her up on unexpected longer days but they weren't available. Lauren was able to step in on a moments notice. 🐾 of thanks!”

“Greg had worked with my dog a year and a half ago, and it was a very good experience. Sadly, that dog passed away but now I have a new dog and I reached out to Greg to see if he could help me get Scooby some extra exercise. He jumped right back in and is helping me and Scooby get off to a good start from the shelter! Greg is great with dogs, and very respectful when it comes to scheduling and communication”

“Eden has been walking our Australian cattle dog for over a year, we couldn’t be happier. Our Holly is a bit of a pill at times, but Eden loves her and works well with her. She isn’t just our dog walker, she has become a friend. Thanks, Ellen F.”

“Gavin was awesome. Very flexible even with my moving process to a new home. Kind man who always sent me 2-3 photos of my dog to reassure me he was with him each day and walked him a good distance for having only 30vminutes to do so. Thanks Gavin!”

“Marilee did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Zori. She followed our care instructions perfectly and was extremely reliable and communicative. We loved that she took extra time to make Zori feel safe and comfortable by sitting with him, giving him treats, and playing with him in the yard. During every walk, Marilee sent a detailed update with pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would highly recommend Marilee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Alexus is very professional, communicative, and accommodating. She has done a great job of caring for my senior pup with anxiety. Cannot recommend enough!”

“We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.”

“Our dogs were completely into Melissa the moment she arrived! She balances leadership and direction with kindness and joy. We are excited to welcome her into our pack!”

“Colton is a terrific person, and exhibited great care for all of our dogs, especially Shadow and Scout, who he walked the last several days. He showed up on time, and was diligent in assisting with our other dogs on walks. Highly recommend Colton as a trusted person to look after your pets. We will utilize his help again in the future!”
About: I have had pets of all breeds my whole life. My family has had dogs, cats, turtles, you name it! I love spending time with animals and will treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time as a freelance interpreter, so I make my own schedule and have plenty of down time. I’d love go start using some of that down time in way that will bring me joy and help out others. I have a large fenced yard, that has plenty of shade and room to run around. I don’t mind pets on my furniture but if wanted, I can crate your pets.
About: Hello! I am very experienced in any and all dog needs. I work from home, can provide enriching walks, and also have a huge fenced in back yard. I live with one very well trained and friendly dog of my own and am passionate about giving dogs amazing experiences! I work from home, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, pet sitting was actually my very first job, and it quickly became something I genuinely loved doing. Caring for animals has never felt like work to me—it's something I've always been naturally drawn to. During college, when I wasn't able to have a dog of my own, I volunteered with local foster organizations so I could continue spending time with and caring for dogs. That experience strengthened my understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and the patience each animal needs to feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply needs a calm and dependable companion, I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care while you're away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! Weekends as needed as well so you can travel confidently knowing your furry friends are in good hands. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow routines, secure doors and leashes, provide lots of attention, and send regular updates so owners have peace of mind. I live in a home and have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!
“Opal and Andrew were amazing! Great communications (with me AND Poppy ?), on time, very patient with an over eager pup... We plan to be repeat business right away!”

“Cindy is awesome! The added plus is Dasha! Both took care of our Gin so well! Gin had a blast! Cindy ensures everything is covered and communicates often with pictures and videos. We just wished we could take Dasha back home with us. Thank you Cindy for taking such good care of our Gin!”

I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”

“Doug was so easy to work with and accommodating. My dogs had a lovely time with him. Even though one of my girls got sick with tummy troubles a couple of days before the stay, he agreed to still watch all 3. Stellar experience overall”

“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”

“Celine was awesome! She took awesome care of our baby and she communicated with us every day. Our dog was very well taken care for and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Very friendly and great communicator. I loved the photos he sent! My anxious pup warmed up to him immediately and had a comfortable time. Definitely would recommend!”


“First time using Rover and our experience with Kristle and her family was phenomenal! Elli came back to us happy. We know and understand our dog so finding a sitter like Kristle who understands dogs too is a blessing! Her daughter adored Elli which says a lot about her visit and boarding experience. We really appreciated this experience and would go this route again. Thank you!”
“Second time staying with them and we are just as happy as the first time! Our kitty was well taken and care of and clearly loved from all the picture updates we got. She honestly didn’t want to come home! We travel a lot and will definitely book again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”

“My cats loved their stay so much they didn't want to come home! Kathryn was easy to deal with, good communication, and obviously loves cats. Highly recommended.”

“Leslie & James takes great care of my standard poodle Zulu when I travel with updates of photos and videos. They are very friendly, courteous and accommodating if I have to change my pick ups if I’m delayed at the airport, etc.”
