“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! WILL DEFINITELY BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER! We couldn’t have been more appreciative with the care Erika provided taking care of our young puppy for the 5 days we were away. Erika’s pup Huxley was the perfect play mate for our pup to feel right at home and to help burn off energy. Erika was very easy to communicate with and sent us updates multiple times a day with how our pup was doing.”

“I am great full to Dana and Jeremy for taking such good care of Samantha. I loved the daily updates and photos of Samantha. They reassured me that she was happy and that I could relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use Rover again.”

“My Golden, Richard, had a lovely time with Karen and her husband! I was very comfortable leaving him with her. I loved all the pictures and videos along with the comforting text messages. They loved on my puppers so much his Golden hair will surely be around forever! I highly recommend the services Karen has to offer! 5 star all the way!”

“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”

“Highly recommended! Arlo, our Weimaraner, has stayed with Joan & Tim multiple times now. Every single experience has been incredible. It’s so nice going out of town and knowing your pup is being very well taken care of. Arlo loves it there! I’d give more than 5 stars!”


“I’m so grateful she accepted my dog last minute on the same day. She took amazing care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving, reliable hands. We’ll be back!! Highly recommend!”

“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”

“Leah was great and communicated very well. She did an awesome job wearing out my dog over the weekend. She was very accommodating even with such short notice. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up with family dogs and currently have 2 that live in my house. I am more than comfortable performing any sort of dog care! I work as an electrician during the day so I am available any time outside of 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. If the dog can make it through the work day, I am the perfect fit! I am happy to accommodate any sort of service for your dog. Just give me the details upon booking and I will ensure your animals are cared for!
“Denise was able and willing to take my dog on the Fourth of July and Fae had the best time ever. She went swimming and I was sent pictures and videos. When I picked her up she had an adorable bandana on her. She had the best time!”

“Rylee is wonderful. She took great care of Kiko and sent me updates very often. She was also very receptive to my instructions and advice for taking care of him. Kiko got to play with her other dogs, enjoy the big fenced in yard, go for rides in the car and enjoy some pup cups. Rylee really treated Kiko as one of her own. I will absolutely seek her out again should I need someone to care for Kiko in the future.”

“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”

“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”

“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”

“Mindy was great with my dog and made sure he was able to stay active while staying with her. She has a nice backyard where the dogs can play and also takes them on walks. I also received several pictures/videos throughout the stay, which put my mind at ease knowing that my dog was in good hands and having a good time.”

“I’m so grateful for Erika ! They took my cat in last minute and treated him like their own. They kept me updated the entire stay with photos and messages, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my cat was well cared for and comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Erica was wonderful with my cats. I appreciated the pictures and updates she sent of my fur-babies, and she even offered to go out for extra food when I ran out. She even stopped by on an extra day when my flight was delayed! It was such a relief to know that someone was checking on the cats daily, and they looked so much happier and better groomed when I got back compared to the past when I would only have a friend check on them every 2-3 days. I definitely plan to try booking her again for my cats in the future.”

“Jocelyn is wonderful! Just by seeing the pictures that she sent me I can see that Etta responded to her immediately! I felt very comfortable with her and will continue to have her take care of my extended family in the future! ❤️”


About: I have watched many cats and owned a few in the last 30 years. I have given injection medication as well as pill forms. I hate when liter boxes make a house smell so I'm sure to keep it immaculate!
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Tara. She went above and beyond cleaning the cat’s dishes and helping pick up around our house after a raccoon made a mess. Our skittish cat has also really taken a liking to Tara which we are very happy about!”


“I could not have asked for a better first time experience using Rover! Jenny was amazing and came over before we left for vacation to meet our cats and get a rundown of their routine. She was thorough in her communication and it really made me feel so much better knowing that our cats were in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend Jenny for any of your pet sitting needs!”

About: I was previously a veterinary assistant. Additionally, I was an Animal Cruelty Investigator for 4 years. I have extensive experience with animals and animal care. I am currently working at a veterinary clinic mostly everyday, but am looking to spend extra time with your dogs and cats on my off time! I have two small dogs at my home that love to play with other dogs. I personally also will play with your dogs and cats and pay lots of attention to them!

“Caitlin was wonderful & took care of our kitties last minute! She made sure their litter was clean & their bellies were full! She also made sure one of our boys had his inhaler & brought in our Amazon packages for us. We are very grateful for her & will be recommending her & using her again in the future!”


About: I have worked in a shelter dedicated all to cats for a couple of years. During that time I had experience with oral medications, disease management and feline care in general. I also have a lovely cat of my own who is now 16 years old. I am capable of caring for cats of all needs and ages.

“It was my son who arrived home after Jessica’s visits with me arriving a week later. He reported that everything was in order, the cats were in good health and all was well. I appreciate that she sent me daily photos and reports. My kitties are both seniors and aren’t always accepting of new people but I believe Jessica did a great job.”


“Peggy was great to take care of my cats while we were out of town! She tidied their stuff and sent me a note after each check-in. I'll definitely contact her again when we need someone to check on the cats!”

“Jennifer is truly the best! She took such amazing care of our pup Suki. W honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a special way with dogs. Her updates were thoughtful, detailed, and full of love, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer is a true dog whisperer and we’re so grateful to have found her! Highly, highly recommend. 🐾💛”
About: I’m great with dogs because I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around them. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime, calm walks, or just quiet companionship. I’m very observant of behavior and body language, so I can quickly tell when a dog is excited, anxious, or needs extra care. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions, and I always prioritize safety and comfort. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and I make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away. 🐶❤️ I have 2 dachshunds of my own♥️ I am currently a Teacher, I work from 8-3:45 during the week! I am always home after those times and on the weekends! I am off in the summers and on all school breaks and holidays! I have 2 dachshunds of my own and I spend ALL my time with them when I am home, so I can do the same with your pets! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep yours company! I can crate them if needed but mine roam the kitchen while I am gone and sleep in bed with me! We are always walking and outside running around!
About: I love dogs. I Have cared for one my entire life. I retired from my career last year and have been told I have the patience of a saint. Trustworthy and caring and dependable. I will treat your dog as it was my own. I am currently retired and available most days of the week. I would love to have the opportunity to be your dog’s adopted grand puppy parent. I am willing to come to your house to watch your dog. I will be happy to take the dog for walks, play, feed and give your dog potty breaks.
About: I have been dog sitting in my home for years. Mostly family and also friends. I treat them as family. Lots of love and care. I currently have time to board your pups during the week and on weekends or walk them after 3:30 during week. I could do weekend walks too in the morning. I have a nice home in the perfect neighborhood to walk dogs in. I do not currently have a dog I welcome dogs into home they are allowed on the furniture and in my bed. I filter my water which I would also give to your dog. You’re dogs will pampered and loved.
“This was our first experience leaving our 9 mo. old shihtzu pup for daycare. Mom was nervous - puppy had the best day ever! Katie took great care of our boy and he definitely loved every minute, living his best life! Thank you Katie!”

About: Hi! I'm Caitlin and I have worked with animals professionally for over 10 years in grooming, boarding, training and animal shelters. Now, I work remotely and spend my time with my 4 cats :) My specialty and preference is in cat care and senior dogs. However, I will consider all booking requests. I am currently not able to handle very energetic animals, or animals that are very strong. I am better suited to more relaxed pets. **Important** - I currently work a full time job from home and can be flexible with scheduling. I will work from your home if booked for house sitting, so it is required I have a reliable internet connection! - At this time I require m&gs for all house sitting services before bookings, to ensure our expectations meet and to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. For long term house sitting, I highly reccomend a trial run of 1 day of daycare or a drop in visit. I work from home full time so I am available during the workday when most people are away! I love being able to hangout with new friends during my work week. Safety is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments.
“Very nice people and effective communication for any issues or questions about my dog, Pluto Gave me updates during his stay with them! I also would like to thank them for working with me around my late arrival for pickup and thank them for taking him in, even if it was a last minute request.”

About: Animals have populated my life since childhood where I grew up with chickens, horses, pigs, cows, cats and dogs to adulthood with my own two cats and dog. I have baby/pet/house sat for countless families through word of mouth and professional organizations. My passion is fostering kittens through the SPCA, as well as pregnant/nursing mamas, puppies and dogs. I have experience administering medications, including insulin for diabetic cats. My animal family and I would love to give you peace of mind by caring for your pets when you need extra support. I am currently a homemaker, so your pets would be supervised for their entire stay and have lots of opportunities for walks, playtime and potty breaks. We own our home with a large fenced-in yard on a quiet street so your pet will have ample time outdoors to play and go for walks. My own dog LOVES every dog he has ever met and will be an excellent playmate. Our cats can be sequestered upstairs if your dog is not feline-friendly and my foster kittens/cats have their own separate space to keep everyone safe. I am comfortable with crates as well if your dog enjoys their own den.
About: I love to play with dogs and cats and just be able to give them my love and affection while their owner is not able to. Animals have been my entire life and i would do anything for mine. I love to take walks as it is so enjoying it with a dog is a dream. I live in an apartment with a huge yard, and am very welcoming to any pets that need somewhere to go while their owner is busy. I currently have one dog and two cats at my apartment and the other tenants do not have dogs and do not use the yard. I own my car so driving places is no problem and i am a very trustworthy person so you will have no concerns about your pets well being while with me:)
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. We just got a new doggie pool for the heat, and have a pop up agility course to play in.Parks nearby is Knox farm, memorial Park, BurchField and more. My car/dog mobile is set up with dog seatbelts so we can safely drive to our next fun destination( if approved by owner). I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working in the animal industry for over 15 years. I am able to give quality attention and care all day. License is available upon request. Proof of vaccines and flea/tick prevention required PRIOR to drop off. I try to take only one dog but there may be an overlap of a boarding client and daycare client. Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. Prices may vary dependent on the needs of the client and how extensive it may be. I try to give an enriching environment for all pets that I'm caring for, but if they are more mellow, then I'm very good at snuggling. I enjoy outdoor activities and love to bring any dog who wants to explore nature with me. I can take your dog out on multiple leashed walks a day. We can go to a nearby park or sunbathe on my porch. I treat all pets like they are my own family member.
“The Best ! We left Fergie with Crystal 2 different days so we could go sight seeing and couldn't be happier with her level of care. The first day Fergie whined a little when we left; the 2nd day she didn't even notice that we left. She loved being with Crystal & we received lots of pictures of their walks & activites. Don't hesitate to allow Crystal to watch your pup. We'll contact her again the next time we're in the Buffalo area. Thanks Crystal !”

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
About: I’ve had a dog all my life. I adopted my most recent pup about 2 years ago and he’s a happy pooch. We walk three times a day and visit our nearby park regularly. He gets his yearly shots and monthly nail trimmings. I am the go-to choice to sit my friends’ pups, and have senior dog and puppy experience. I work from home, so can keep an eye on the pups and play with them regularly. I currently walk my own dog three times a day, visit the nearby park (Harlem rd park) after work most days, and visit Knox Farms dog park once or twice a month in the summer. I have a small yard 90% enclosed, so walk dogs regularly. There are friendly neighborhood dogs that we can interact with. I work from home, so play with the pups often. I promptly clean up accidents, if they do happen. I do not smoke and our house does not have animal smells. It is carpeted and we have a big sectional that animals can lounge on. We have a cat that has high safe places he can go to. I reward good behavior with praise and an occasional treat. Bad behavior is met with a stern “No”, but we have not had to break that voice out lately!
“Sarah was very welcoming and understanding with my fur girl’s initial anxiousness in an unfamiliar environment. She offered much puppy love and reassurance that everything is okay....by mid-morning her charge finally settled down and laid near her towel.”

About: I am the go to guy in my family and friends group for dog sitting. I love all animals and would like to help you out. I've been helping out since I got out of active duty in 2018. I'm looking forward to make this a hobby and to help anyone I can. I work from home and I can be available anytime needed on any day. So if you ever need someone I can help you out. I have a small apartment but I enjoy taking pets on walks. There's a small park right around the corner. If you need me to come to your place, I will respect your property and and make sure everything will be left the way when I arrived.
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”

“Sarah has been a wonderful dog walker for our dog. She is thoughtful and caring, sends photos, updates and lets me know how our senior dog is feeling when she sees her. She has given us peace of mind!”

“Steve is great with our dogs - he is so caring and kind. Always offers to wipe their paws down and takes time during their walks. Steve is punctual and great at communicating. So happy we found him. Such a great guy!”

I am currently working at a veterinary clinic mostly everyday, but am looking to spend extra time with your dogs and cats on my off time! I have two small dogs at my home that love to play with other dogs. I personally also will play with your dogs and cats and pay lots of attention to them!
About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.
About: I have been pet sitting for about 15 years, everything from quick play dates to extended stays lasting over a month. I've worked with a variety of dogs including a 13-year old 4 pound chihuahua, a vizla that required 5 or more hours of solid exercise a day, a 160 pound mastiff that thought he was a lap dog, and a very scared dalmatian/husky/german shepherd mix that needed some serious work on social interations. I've dealt with skunk attacks, bee stings, an intestinal blockage and various types of aggression. I AM NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO STAY OVERNIGHT DURING SITTINGS. I KEPT IT IN MY PROFILE BECAUSE IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN BOOKING MULTIPLE DROP-INS At the end of last year I ended up taking in 3 Doberman puppies that I had dog sat for regularly. I was able to find a home of one of them but the other two are still with me. Because of this I am not able to do extended stays that require me to be gone overnight or dogs that cannot be left alone for a few hours due to separation anxiety or medical reasons. But if your dog is friendly please consider boarding! I currently work from home with flexible hours most of the time. My schedule is very accommodating and I love being able to take advantage of nice weather or last minute requests. The yard where I am is NOT fenced in, but it is very large with several acres of wooded area in the back. For dogs that need to stay on leash there is a long tie out and plenty of walks. I never let the dogs play outside without supervision. There are two other friendly dogs on the property (in addition to my own 2) and two dogs next-door that come over to play all the time. So we have our own mini, well-mannered, well-socialized dog park.
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! My dog absolutely loved his time with her. She always kept me informed with what was going on, including multiple pictures. Despite very inclement weather she still showed up and made sure Roger was taken care of! She brought towels, checked his food and water! I cannot recommend her strongly enougj”
About: I love dogs. I Have cared for one my entire life. I retired from my career last year and have been told I have the patience of a saint. Trustworthy and caring and dependable. I will treat your dog as it was my own. I am currently retired and available most days of the week. I would love to have the opportunity to be your dog’s adopted grand puppy parent. I am willing to come to your house to watch your dog. I will be happy to take the dog for walks, play, feed and give your dog potty breaks.
About: I adore my basset hound and english bulldog. Plus I have had experience working at a dog groomer and a doggie daycare. I have never met a dog I did not enjoy. I have recently graduated from high school and am working part time. So I have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I can be flexible with time of day to walk your dog. I care for my 2 dogs as if they are family and I will do the same for your fur babies. I give lots of snuggles, walking, and playtime.
“I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in the future”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own who are spoiled rotten. I adore pets of all kinds, I even have a ferret and bearded dragon myself. I do work full time, but I know how hard it is finding a quality person to watch your babies. I have a flexible job so I can make any schedule fit! I also have a 16 year old child who loves dogs as well, so if your fur baby does well with children and you want them to have a little socialization that way I am willing to bring my child. I know how much dogs miss their humans when they are gone, so I will do my best to make them as loved and comfortable as possible I do work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate almost all schedules will my work schedule. I look forward to loving your fur babies. I would prefer to care for pets in their home. I think this makes pets more comfortable being in their own space that they know.

About: I grew up with large dogs. I raised and trained a golden retriever that was so well mannered that my neighbors would borrow her to play with her! I currently walk my mom’s very large (and spoiled) german shepherd 2-3 days per week. I love small dogs and am not afraid of larger dogs! I am retired and would love to care for your pets! I am retired and have time to care for other peoples’ animals! I am very flexible with the days and hours I am available to visit your pet. You can rely on me to show up as agreed and care for your pet as if it were my own pet! I am very careful to not let a pet escape. A dog in a fenced yard would still be watched by me during visits. I would gladly send pictures and updates of your pets.

About: I know I love to have the peace of mind when traveling that someone I trust is caring for my pets while I am away and I want to provide that same service to someone else. We recently lost our beloved Dexter after 14 years, so we are very much missing having a dog around to snuggle and take on walks. We also have a cat named Joey and he pretty much keeps to himself (until it is time to eat of course) and 2 small children. I am available to come to your house and give your dog walks and check-ins or anything else you might need. We will be sure to give your baby all the love and care they deserve while you are away :) During the summer months I am off from my full-time job so I have open availability. When school is back in session I am available anytime Monday-Friday after 3pm and open on the weekends. I will follow all guidance from the owner as to how you do things. It’s important to be consistent for your pet while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. Even in college I raised a dog for the guiding eyes program. My current dog I rescued from a high kill shelter in Florida and he is my best friend. I am usually the go to for my friends and family when they are out of town. I will dog and cat sit whenever needed I work fully remote so I am able to schedule pet sitting very easily! I am able to walk away whenever I am needed through out the day. I am very patient and easy going with pets. I like to take my time when meeting them for the first time to build trust. I will always make sure they are well cared for loved on while I am with them

“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands!

They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”

I also received several pictures/videos throughout the stay, which put my mind at ease knowing that my dog was in good hands and having a good time.”
“Crystal was amazing! She took such good care of our dog. She had great communication and sent updates with pictures! We will definitely be asking her again to watch our dog.”

“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”

“Amanda is a wonderful sitter and we have used her multiple times! When we bring Rizzo back to drop her off she immediately starts wagging her tail as we approach Amanda’s door as a true sign she loves staying with Amanda!”


About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.
“Archer was quite at ease with Valerie from the start. I requested a meet & greet before leaving my little guy, and was happy that Valerie met us both. I’ll be booking again”

“Michelle cared for my Louie and Louie and I were so grateful. She sent many pix throughout his stay and walked him when possible(weather permitting). Most appreciated was that Michelle was able to accommodate us when Delta canceled our flight home and Michelle kept Louie for an additional day. Would recommend her highly and will use her again”
