Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cedar Crest
“Rosalia cared for our dog Winnie for 3 weeks while we took a dream vacation. It was pretty hard for us to feel good about leaving Winnie for so long, but Rosalia made it easy with daily updates. It was clear to us that Winnie was having a great time, which enabled us to have a good time on our trip. Thanks Rosalia!”
“CK is awesome. She was so great with Bert! He had a great time hanging out with her and Coco. She is so accommodating and loving. We are looking forward to having her take care of Bert again soon. Highly recommended.”
“Maellen is the warmest, caring, and most attentive dog sitter we've ever had. She sent us daily updates with pictures and was very responsive anytime we had a question. We could tell our Toby was happy, safe and comfortable in Maellen's home. Not once did we worry about Toby's well being, safety or comfort and we were able to enjoy our time out of town. Toby got his daily walks, plenty of time with Maellen and we could tell that she took great care of Toby. We are looking forward to having Maellen watch Toby again. In fact, we have confirmed another booking with Maellen later in the year.”
“Onrae did a great job watching Daisy for me. She was a recent rescue, who was a stray and still getting acclimated to her new life. I had to go out of town for a few days and was concerned about what I was going to do. Onrae was easy to communicate with from the start with the meet and great, sent photos and videos daily. She had a great time and came back just as happy as I left her. I would definitely use him again”
“Josie, Pete & Paco are the best crew to take care of your pup! Josie always sends great updates and pics & you can tell how much she and her husband really care for your dog. We’ve had 2 dogs stay with Josie and I’d highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to have a great time while they’re away!”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“This was the 3rd time I’ve left my dogs with Bonnie and this time it was for 7 days. I feel completely at ease leaving them with her because she treats my dogs as her own. She makes chicken for them, gives treats and sends pics. She also gave one of my dogs extra care due to her fear of fireworks.”
“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.”
“Celine was great with our dog Ellie. We were updated daily on how she was doing along with pictures! We will book Celine again in the future. Thank you!”
“I just want to give a big thank you to Chad for accepting my last-minute request to watch my dog, Luna. It meant so much to know she was in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate your time and the care you gave her. Thank you again for being available.”
“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”
“Debbie took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated that she accepted on short notice. It was a short stay but it was nice knowing Zipper was in good hands”
“Anne and Buddy are great! Very friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Mocha in their care. I highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking with them.”
“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.”
“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...”
“Can't say enough about these guys. When our dogs hear Patrick pulling into the driveway for pickup, they grab their leashes and start jumping around and barking with excitement. I feel confident that when they leave the house that they are always well cared for. If I could leave 6 stars I would. I won't go anywhere else.”
“Cindy was very responsive and super kind. So glad she was able to open her home to Massimo for his stay. We definitely will use her support again when we need it.”

“August was great with our two cats well we were out of town for a week! Came by everyday to feed them, clean the litter box and play with them! Gave us great updates each day with photos! This was the first time I was away from my cats for that long and I felt at peace knowing August was there taking care of them and giving them some love. Very professional! Would definitely book with August again in the future!”
“Emily treated my cat Michelle well, cleaned the litter box, fed and watered her, and spent time playing with her. She followed my instructions well and I came home to a happy cat.”
“Brooke did a wonderful job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week and a half. Our cat is shy, but warmed up to Brooke after only a few days. Thank you for taking such good care of Nova!”
About: I have been pet sitting since my early teens watching all my neighbors' animals. I've always been an animal lover and you can see it quickly in how your animals will respond to meeting me! I've adopted several dogs and cats in my time, and I am well versed in dealing with most conditions, including giving medication to an unhappy pet. My pet services aren't just about making sure your pet is alive, feed, and pottied. Their emotional well-being is just as important to me and I take the time to play and get to know each of my pet clients. I currently am a stay at home mom and am available to check in on your pets throughout the day and evening as needed throughout the week. I'd love to have continuous clients so that I can better serve you and your pets as I get to know them each better! The services offered by me would be in your home (aka your pet's safe space) or on walks in nearby neighborhoods or parks. I will take the time to make sure your pet is played and socialized in the manner they are most used to!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life from german shepherds to dachshunds . The only time I can recall not having a dog was the first couple years in the Navy because I was out to sea so much. I love dogs of all sizes! I currently have a 10 year old weimaraner of my own Ari. So your precious pup will have someone to play with while staying with me. I take my own dog on walks/hikes, to dog park, runs, and swimming when we can find water for her. For being in Navy veteran and nurse, I am responsible and will take good care of your pup. Plus, there is vet not even .25 miles from home, if something where to go array which is not likely. Can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently in masters program and working remote and essentially here all day with them. Plenty of potty breaks and walks to come. Safe friendly neighborhood I have a fenced yard and lots of easy safe walking my neighborhood. I can crate them if you prefer but they are allowed on furniture here.
“Max followed the instructions, was communicative, and, though my cat didn’t seem to warm up too much, Wybie seems happy and healthy, which is all I hope for at the end of a trip.”
“She handled my miscreant kitties beautifully (they get to go outside and sometimes don’t come in when planned but this was not an issue with Shelly)! I returned home to happy cats and that’s what it’s all about.”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs all my life. In fact, my mother used to throw fits when she'd wake to find that I'd snuck out of my room at night to sleep in the dog house with the hounds! Having shared my home with more than 30 dogs of my own, I have fostered close more than 50, most recently senior, special needs, and medically fragile dogs. I also transport rescue dogs once a month from Texas to Utah. If you have dogs with special needs, medical issues, or healthy dogs, I'll take care of them with skill, patience, and love. Boarding or Day Care: While I'm happy to take all dogs over 25 lbs, I have an affinity for large, XL, and giant dogs. My home has XXL dog doors, dog beds, and 3 acres of fenced yard.
About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!
“Leaving our cats and dog with someone new made me nervous, but Luca completely exceeded my expectations. Luca came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and asked questions about our cats and dog's routine. Luca sent multiple photos daily, giving total peace of mind. I highly recommend and will absolutely booking again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 12… from dogs, to cats, to horses. I volunteered for a no kill animal shelter as a teenager where I cared for, exercised, and assisted in adoption efforts. I’m relied on by neighbors and friends to walk and care for their animals and look forward to caring for yours. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me plenty of time to care for your animals. I enjoy walking and hiking in the mountains with my dogs and look forward to incorporating yours. I have a fenced yard with 2.5 acres of land. I have a section fenced off in the backyard for smaller animals. I have two friendly dogs for your animals to play with.
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter. She was gracious with me on the pre-sitting process such as meet and greet and then communicating on meeting for the keys. She shared her photos with us on the cats on each visits (close ups as I have cameras which see from far). She communicate with me on any issues with the cats (none so far) and her visits which were remedied quickly. I would like to rebook her again in the near future.”

I have a fully trained Belgian Malinois and a sweet Siamese cat, both of whom are my babies. I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care. If your dog pulls on the leash, that's not a problem at all! I'm tall and strong, and I'm confident in my ability to handle even the most determined pups. With your permission, I can also incorporate some proven training exercises from professional trainers to help improve their leash manners. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely love and have plenty of experience with. Animals are so pure and full of love, and I strive to be the kind of person they deserve. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur baby, I'll ensure they receive all the love and proper care they need. I hope you choose me, and I look forward to meeting your furry one(s) soon! Thank you! ❤️ 🐾 Now Offering a Private Sniff Spot for Your Pup! 🐾 Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a visit! 🐶💛 I work from home remotely so I’m available all week. Some times I do have to go in the office for a week, but that’s typically only once a month. Just let me know what you need and I can make it work! Whatever your fur baby might need; walks, check ins, feeding, water, medication, exercise, exta love & attention, the list can go on just you let me know and I'd be more than happy to be the one to do it! 😁
“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”
“Paige has made this experience a dream for Eivor and my family. We can breathe easy knowing how well taken care of he is and how much he is loved. The environment couldn’t be more perfect for Eivor. Paige is such a blessing! I am beyond grateful!”
“Charles and Cadence are so kind and caring, I felt extremely safe and relieved to leave my 2 fur babies with them. They did everything to give the pups a great stay.”
“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”
“I was visiting town and needed a last-minute dog daycare option, and she was fantastic. She was very responsive and took the time to meet me and my pup beforehand, which made me feel comfortable right away. My pup was tired from the day and all the activities, but she handled her with both care and confidence. She quickly became part of the pack, played with the other dogs, and came back happily exhausted. She also sent photos and text updates, which I really appreciated. I especially liked how attentive she was with my pup’s prescribed medication. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was safe, cared for, and having a great time while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“We booked our hyper 1 year old Goldendoodle. Kimberly was a wonderful sitter. We were passing through the area on a cross country move and had plans to visit friends, tour projects and eat lunch. I made a last minute decision to book and Kimberly was accommodating. I knew when k dropped off my dog he was in good hands. Kimberly sent me photos during the stay. My dog was happy at pick up I can tell he had a good stay”
“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
“They did a wonderful job with Koko. They took her for a walk, gave her belly rubs and sent multiple updates and pics. She is a nervous girl and they were very reassuring. She seemed very well cared for and I would absolutely leave her with them again.”
“Adam was a great pet care provider for day care for our 4 year old BC. Adam promptly answered our texts when we arranged booking and for drop off. He ixx AC a friendly and personable guy. His dog a Aussie was friendly and playful. This was a great experience and we highly recommend Adam for your pet care needs. Great Job! Thanks”

I will provide your fur babies with all my attention, love and care! Please see my reviews from past clients. Your fur baby will be treated as if my own. Not all dog owners understand the attention and care they need or how close we are to our sweet babies.
About: I have a true passion for caring for pets and always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for each one. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and respect for every pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a playful dog or an independent cat, they always receive love, personalized care, and genuine companionship—because to me, they’re not just pets, they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I carefully organize my time to ensure punctual feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and quality time with each pet. I am committed to maintaining clear and consistent communication with pet owners and to following all care instructions closely. Responsibility and consistency are very important to me, and I always prioritize the well-being, safety, and peace of mind of the pets in my care. When I care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I carefully follow their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, hygiene, and rest. I provide a clean, calm, and well-supervised environment at all times. I also pay close attention to their behavior and emotional needs, offering companionship, affection, and patience. I always respect the owners’ instructions and maintain clear communication so they feel at ease while they’re away.
“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!”
About: I have a 5-year old dog, Roxy, who is very sweet and loves making new dog friends. We live in a home with a fenced-in yard and about one block from a park that is great for dog walks. I can provide a large crate if needed. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m typically available for contact unless I’m in a meeting, but will respond soon after. Roxy gets backyard playtime and walks around the park daily. She eats one large bowl of food in the evening and also receives treats. Of course I can accommodate your dog’s schedule and needs.
About: I am retired and a animal lover with experience caring for puppies, seniors, rescues, and giant breeds. Reliable, patient care in a safe, pet-friendly environment. I am currently retired from government work and a non profit career. I retired very young and I am very active, loving nature and walking. I have two very large dog runs with dog houses in each. My pets are both indoors at night and in their dog run daily.
About: I can stay at your home or I can board your pets at my home (boarding only if you have small lap dogs). For boarding, I keep your pets indoors with our pets in our personal living space so your pets should be clean, house-broken, and tolerant of children. We have a very clean home with mostly red brick tile throughout (except for the bedrooms which have white carpet). We have a small doggie door which enters into a small fenced area (4'x12') for self-potty breaks while we are at work (if your dogs know how to use a doggie door). We can also close this door if your dog is an escape artist. Our home is located in the east mountains off the Zuzax exit (about 15 minutes from Tramway Blvd). We both work (I have summers off) so we come to Albuquerque every day via I-40 and would be happy to pick up your pet at a meeting location if the drive is a pain for you. We have a huge horse barn and several acres as our backyard. We have a mini-horse, three mini goats, three chickens, two small dogs, and a cat. Why is my rate so reasonable you ask? Because we don't do this to make a living. Getting to care for other peoples furry children brings much happiness & joy to our lives too. If it was a pain in the rear, we'd charge much much more. But it's not, it's a treat for us. I also automatically donate 5% of my pet sitting fee's to K9's for Warriors via Rover.com. K9's for Warriors provides service canines to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service. About this sitter: I'm a married mother of two children, and many animal children. I work full-time as a social worker. Caring for pets is a natural extension of my care of humans. Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog lover since I was little. My families Norwegian Elkhound had puppies when I was 2 years old and I have pictures of my twin sister and I being so in love with them and carrying them everywhere we went. When I was 19, I bought a dog book and combed the pages looking for my best K-9 match. I ended up getting a Shih Tzu and a Brussels Griffon. 20 years later, we now have Budrow, my 14 year old Norfolk Terrier mix, Gracie, my 2 year old mini-Australian Sheppard/mini-Poodle mix, and a 4 year old sweet long hair female cat named Aphrodite. They are all best buddies and they enjoy having furry houseguests. Meet my pets: We have one mini-horse, three mini-goats, three chickens, 2 small dogs, and a cat. About my yard: We have a huge backyard (5 acres), some areas are fenced some are not. If your dogs are diggers, I'd worry that they might get into the chicken coop or the goat area. We do not want to host large outdoor dogs at this time, until we get proper sturdy fencing around the entire property. We are currently only hosting indoor lap dogs at this time. My experience administering medication: Yes, I will administer medication (including shots) unless a dog bites or gets squirrely. I accommodate your pets needs around my work schedule. In the Fall or Spring I occasionally have my teenagers sports events or meets to attend. I treat you pets like my own and if I’m caring for your pets in my own home they will be included in my regular life, living room time (sunning windows, movie nights on the couch, etc), grass time, playtime, sleep time, etc.
“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.”
“Paul & his wife are the best caretakers I’ve had. Our dog, Grey, loved them because they loved her like she was their own. Thank you very much, Guys! A+++”

My schedule is completely adaptable to your pet’s needs and routine. This is my sole profession, and my goal is to create zero disturbance in the way your pet usually does things. Please feel free to give me detailed schedule instructions.

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.

My husband and I have 2 large dogs (German Shepherd - Border Collie mix named Kuzco, and a Lab mix puppy named Jamie - I am obsessed with them!), I also have a huge soft spot for kitties as I grew up in a household of 3 cats, and we hope to adopt a cat soon! I have experience volunteering at a shelter focusing on socializing the cats, as well as experience pet-sitting for both dogs and cats, and I worked as a dog walker for 2 poodles throughout my childhood.I love playing with cats and dogs, taking our dogs to the dog park, training Jamie, and especially taking long walks with the 3 of us together!

About: After having three dogs for many years, I am an expert at walking more than one--with expandable leashes, it's like flying three kites at once! In addition to long (or short) walks, I also like snuggling with pups on the couch. I currently have one 20-pound pup who gets along with almost all other dogs and loves having guests. For boarding and daycare, a meet and greet is a must. I have a very flexible work schedule and I mostly work from my home. I love taking frequent walks and petting dogs throughout the workday. I do not have a yard but like taking walks at all times of day, so your pup can still get plenty of exercise. I am familiar with senior dog care and am comfortable giving pills, following special diets, etc.
About: I have had pets of many varieties my whole life. I have taken the most care of dogs and cats, and I feel I understand their behavior and how to meet their needs.

I am a detail oriented rule-follower, if you sent out instructions on how to walk, play with, or otherwise care for your pet I will follow it to a T. I understand the stress and worry of leaving pets home alone while you work and of finding the right person to watch them, so I will do what I can to put those fears to rest. I prefer to give detailed communication with pet owners so they can know what is going on with their pet at all times while I am with them.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 12… from dogs, to cats, to horses. I volunteered for a no kill animal shelter as a teenager where I cared for, exercised, and assisted in adoption efforts. I’m relied on by neighbors and friends to walk and care for their animals and look forward to caring for yours. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me plenty of time to care for your animals. I enjoy walking and hiking in the mountains with my dogs and look forward to incorporating yours. I have a fenced yard with 2.5 acres of land. I have a section fenced off in the backyard for smaller animals. I have two friendly dogs for your animals to play with.
About: I have cared for an array of animals over the years including dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and even pet rats! I deeply enjoy time spent with animals which is why housesitting has always been ideal for me! I myself have multiple dogs and cats that are well cared for and your animals will receive the same attention and care! I am a student at UNM, so most morning I do have to head to campus around 9-10 am. All morning care would be handled before then. My classes have me on campus no longer than 4-5 hours before I would be able to check on your animals. Weekends I work 6-9 hour shifts, but if care requires less gaps between visits this time can be taken off to give your pets around the clock care. This would require at minimum 2 weeks notice and cannot be guaranteed. I am comfortable giving pill or liquid medication for your pets. As well as walking any size dog as long as some leash training is in place. I normally will wash the sheets and towels used if staying overnight! I am very cleanly and will leave your home and pets clean or cleaner than when yall left!

“Maellen is the warmest, caring, and most attentive dog sitter we've ever had. She sent us daily updates with pictures and was very responsive anytime we had a question. We could tell our Toby was happy, safe and comfortable in Maellen's home. Not once did we worry about Toby's well being, safety or comfort and we were able to enjoy our time out of town. Toby got his daily walks, plenty of time with Maellen and we could tell that she took great care of Toby. We are looking forward to having Maellen watch Toby again. In fact, we have confirmed another booking with Maellen later in the year.”
“Onrae did a great job watching Daisy for me. She was a recent rescue, who was a stray and still getting acclimated to her new life. I had to go out of town for a few days and was concerned about what I was going to do. Onrae was easy to communicate with from the start with the meet and great, sent photos and videos daily. She had a great time and came back just as happy as I left her. I would definitely use him again”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“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.”
“Celine was great with our dog Ellie. We were updated daily on how she was doing along with pictures! We will book Celine again in the future. Thank you!”
“I just want to give a big thank you to Chad for accepting my last-minute request to watch my dog, Luna. It meant so much to know she was in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate your time and the care you gave her. Thank you again for being available.”
“Debbie took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated that she accepted on short notice. It was a short stay but it was nice knowing Zipper was in good hands”
“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.”
“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...”
“Can't say enough about these guys. When our dogs hear Patrick pulling into the driveway for pickup, they grab their leashes and start jumping around and barking with excitement. I feel confident that when they leave the house that they are always well cared for. If I could leave 6 stars I would. I won't go anywhere else.”
“Cindy was very responsive and super kind. So glad she was able to open her home to Massimo for his stay. We definitely will use her support again when we need it.”
“I absolute loved her! She made me feel so comfortable with my two small babies. She gave me constant updates and pictures of them everyday. I appreciate her making it easy for me to leave my babies for a whole week! Thanks again”
“You can't go wrong if you hire Jessie! Jessie is wonderful! Constantly sends me pupdates in the form of videos and pictures. I know she truly cares for Harley and any animal in her care. Harley loves spending time with Jessie and her dog Otis and gets to play all day. I never worry about my girl when Jessie is involved.”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
“Zorro had an amazing time staying with Bill! His puppy Lola kept Zorro entertained, and Bill is a wonderful photographer able to capture the two pups playing! Bill is an absolute treasure to the community.”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”
