“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!”
“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!”
“Loki loved his stay with Erica! Erica had a thorough meet and greet with us, asked great questions to make sure all parties felt comfortable. It was great receiving picture updates while I was away. Will definitely book with Erika again!”
“Alena was VERY accommodating. We ran into a hiccup during boarding and she was so helpful in working out a solution. I loved the pictures and videos of Kirra!”
“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.”
“I can't praise Melissa enough. She took excellent care of Chloe. She was also willing to adjust my dates if I decided to stay out of town an extra day. I'm already looking into booking Melissa again for our next vacation. 😀”
“Crystal is awesome! She has taken care of two of my dogs and our newest dog is very shy and anxious. Crystal went out of her way to make him feel at home. He wasn't eating a ton so she even went out and got him wet dog food which he ate well. By the end of his 3 days with Crystal he was feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Crystal, especially if your dog is anxious!”
“Mindy was wonderful with our Troops! We LOVED the updates & pics and felt very safe with him staying with her! He will be back very soon for a longer visit & we feel very happy knowing he’ll have a trusted companion while we are gone!”
“Our dog always has a great time with Dana and Jeremy. We really appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Dana and Jeremy take great care of our dog whenever we travel and we look forward to using them again!”
“We were very pleased with Joan and Timothy. They sent a picture or video each day that our dog Daisy was with them. She was taken on many walks and they enjoyed time together like hanging out in the garage watching the outside. We would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Amanda was great taking care of Francisco. She was very responsive and sent multiple daily updates of Francisco. He seemed to have a really good time there and I definitely would book with her again.”
“Michaela did a wonderful job watching our two rescues for a day. This was their first stay with her and I would love to book a stay with her again in the future. She sent photos and put my mind at ease as I was worried about how my dogs would do, everything went perfectly! I couldnt be happier with today's visit. Thank you Michaela!”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”

“She spent extra time on the first day to allow my three cats to get to know her. We appreciate having a reliable person with her experience taking care of our little ones.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a child. I had a cat named Snickers who had kittens. Then, I had two boy cats named Butterscotch and Cutie. Then a cat named Molly who passed away from a stomach tumor. Then we had two girls named Pinta and Sandy. I’ve fed my neighbors cat when they were traveling before and also watched my friend’s two cats while he was away. I love them!
“Ciara took amazing care of my 3 cats, one of whom is special needs and takes a good deal of extra care. Her communication was outstanding! I received stories, videos and pictures each time she was there. She even watered my plants! My shy and finicky cats really took to her, she just has that soul that animals gravitate to. I’m so grateful for all she did for our little family.”
“Nafisa has been incredible! It brings me so much peace during my workday knowing that she’s checking in on my dogs when I can’t be there. She’s reliable, communicative, and my dogs warmed up to her immediately! My dogs definitely have their quirks and she’s taken it with stride. I appreciate her endlessly!!”
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!
About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting to help pay for my dream honeymoon! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, a cat, and a husband (haha) so pet care is second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour and come right back to them right after work. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?!
About: I’ve always had cats growing up. Currently, I have a Persian cat who is very high maintenance. She requires to be brushed and cleaned every day (and demands a clean litter box at all times). I absolutely adore everything about cats and will provide the best care for yours!
“Jennifer took excellent care of our cat while we were out - she’s thorough, professional, and takes great pics! We’ll definitely be requesting her services again in the future.”
“Courtney is amazing!!! Sierra did really well with Courtney during her visits. She responded quickly to our requests, kept us informed throughout the visits, worked with Sierra's training during her walk, and made sure she was fed. We're grateful she accepted the booking with short notice during our family Xmas visit. Really recommend her if you're looking for an expert sitter.”
“Karen was amazing with my 2 furry guys! She was calm, caring and took great attention to them. Jack needed daily pills and she was able to do that effortlessly. Karen shared multiple daily texts and pictures too! She was so gracious and left my house very clean upon returning from a week long family vacation. Very kind, respectable and caring-top notch and I highly recommend. Thank you Karen!!”
“Jenna was great at taking care of my senior cat Luna. I received lots of pictures and was notified when she ate her food. I came home to a very happy cat after a vacation. I would recommend Jenna.”
“It was such a peace of mind knowing my pups were cared for over the weekend while Jenna checked in on them. She sent me pictures and messaged me with any updates. I will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Nicole was very responsive and so flexible with my schedule! She always sends a picture and an update. She did in home visits and has kept her overnight. Felt very comfortable with her in the apt. Even took Monna to work with her! Would definitely recommend Nicole!”
“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”
“Jonathan did an excellent job looking after my cat and keeping him company while I was away on vacation. Very responsive, and provided detailed updates. Would recommend any time.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Abbott McKinley
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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.
“Crystal handled my two rescues wonderfully. It was their first time being somewhere without us and everything went great. She was great at giving updates and sending pictures. We plan on booking with crystal again in the future.”
“Kiara and Yves did an amazing job watching Teddy. Once I dropped him off, he felt right at home. Kiara kept on contact with me throughout the booking to update me on Teddys status and sent several pics. Will definitely book with Kiara and Yves again if we’re in the area.”
“Lucy had a great time! She played and rested and played some more. Their home is lovely and the yard is safely enclosed for outdoor fun. They are very accommodating to our weird schedule. We shall return and relax knowing Lucy is well cared for!”
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!
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.
“We drove from TN to NY for my cousins wedding in Buffalo with our dog so she could meet some family and see my home state. I’m not from Buffalo though so I was so happy to find Mindy to watch our dog Lady during the wedding hours! It’s always nerve wracking leaving your baby with new people but Mindy calmed our nerves with photos and a couple updates and I knew Lady was in great hands. She was also super flexible with us for our pickup and dropoff times changing, which we really appreciated!”
About: Hi all! I foster for a local rescue shelter, and I love caring for dogs and giving them love until they find / return to their home! I have one amazing rescue of my own named Sesame. I teach college classes, but have open availability over the summer. During the semesters I teach, I am typically free Thurs-Sun, and part time other days. I always walk dogs at least four times a day, more if they are younger or older. I have a fenced dog park where two dogs are allowed at a time. They can play there safely. I love taking dogs on long walks to nearby parks or even coffee shops if they like pup cups! I only walk one dog at a time for safety purposes.
“Melissa and my fur girl definitely have a special connection and she picks up on Misty’s subtle ways of letting you know she needs or wants something! I’d recommend Melissa for any day care opportunity you’re looking for to keep your fur babes safe and well monitored!”
“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!”
“Julia was so sweet and helped Finney feel right at home. She was attentive to all his needs and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I’m so happy she could help me out!”
“Sasha is very personable, great energy...and Homey seemed to enjoy his stay with her on Mother's day...nice to be away and know he was well cared for...lots of pics and updates....highly recommend.”
“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”
“I feel like Courtney isn't just the best dog sitter, she's one of the best humans. She was so welcoming and understanding of my not completely house trained pup, and she's almost like a trainer as well as sitter. She's worked on crate training and commands with my pup, even letting me borrow things to help at home. Five other sitters denied my request to watch a puppy, but Courtney is the ultimate dog lover, and honestly has more patience than anyone I've ever met. My only concern is that my pup loves being at her house maybe more than mine, since Courtney's dogs are her new best friends! I can't recommend her highly enough, except I'll be sad if she ever ends up booked when I need her. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.”
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
About: Loving, cozy home close to the airport. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds from German shepherds to labs to cocker spaniels and pit bulls. My house is pretty close to the Buffalo airport. Great walkable neighborhood. I work part time so I have lots of time to spoil your fur baby! I have a large backyard. I have 2 cats that can easily be separated in my finished basement if your dog doesn’t like cats.
“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

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’ve always been around dogs and cats growing up. My grandmother owned an in-home dog grooming business that I assisted with from a young age. I’ve had my own family dogs since the age of 7. Whenever friends or family have gone out of town, they trusted me to look after their dogs as well as cats. Currently I have a 3-year-old catahoula leopard / lab mix and an 8-year-old brown tabby cat. During the week I work 9-5 from home. I tend to have most of my meetings early in the morning due to time zone differences, meaning I have the majority of the day to look after your dog. On weekends my availability can start as early as 9AM. I am typically available I don’t ski or snowboard – so you don’t have to worry about me being in the mountains. 1. There are many outdoor parks near my apartment building, as well as a dog run in the apartment complex itself. My 3-year-old pup is extremely friendly and playful, meaning your furry friend will always have someone to keep them company, should they want a friend.
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years and have worked at PetSmart as a pets hotel associate. I have two dogs (10 and 3 years old). I’ve also owned four cats and babysat family and friends pets before! I am home all day so I am fully available to provide care to pets. I live in an apartment with two dogs and live in walking distance to a park where my dogs love to walk. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if desired. I am home all day and take my dogs for at least three walks a day and we usually visit a park daily.
“I can’t say enough great things about Nafisa! I was in a pinch and needed someone to walk my dog last minute, and she showed up without hesitation. Not only was she prompt and professional, but she was incredibly kind and patient with my dog. He came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and compassionate on short notice. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a trustworthy dog walker!”
About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day. I am currently working part time, with availability anytime after 4 pm Monday through Thursday! In the next 3 weeks my availability will open up a little bit more! I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.
“Nicole has been fantastic to work with! She has taken Oliver on several walks and is always on time and gives us great notes and photos. And Oliver loves her, which is the most important part!”
“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
“We couldn't say enough good things about Jaidyn! She was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous dog. This was our first time successfully having someone who isn't family come watch our dog (who definitely has stranger danger to say the least). Jaidyn worked with her each day to create a bond and made such good progress with her throughout the week! She was so communicative and shared helpful feedback/asked good questions to make sure she could take the best care of Rory possible! We will definitely be asking her to watch Rory again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own.

About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)
About: I love getting to know each individual pet’s personality and needs, and approach them with respect to make them feel comfortable and safe. I have many years of experience with animals who need insulin shots and oral medications, and experience with all ages. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! At home, I have a tripod husky and a cat who has traveled far with me. I go on miles-long walks every day… always with dog treats in my pockets :) I'm currently working from home setting my own schedule, so walking your dog would fit well into my day. If you live near me, an overnight at your place is possible as I like to give my Stormy cat her breakfast and outside grass time by mid morn. I have lots of cat toys in my house for my cat. I hope your dog has toys and if it's just a walk, then a good leash and baggies to collect poop are essential. I am all about fresh water and seeing that their space is just how they like it.

About: Hello, my names MariJo and I'm an ultimate dog lover. I have always had pets since I can remember caring for cats, dogs, bunnies much more. Currently I have a chocolate lab Charlie that is 5 and a mutt Chance who is 1. My schedule is flexible and I'm very active meaning long walks and truly engaging time with your fur baby.I have watched dogs for friends in the past and that's what has lead me here to Rover. I have now spent two years on Rover and adjusting to a new life style back in my hometown looking for a little extra cash. There is nothing better then puppy love so if yours needs a little extra while you're away I'm your perfect sitter!
“Ian has been great so far! Flexible and consistent with the weekly walks. He and Amelia are clearly building a trusting relationship, and she’s really starting to warm up to him. I would definitely recommend him.”
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.
About: My name is Karlyn. I started working in pet care in 2018 at a pet hotel and doggy daycare. I joined Rover in 2019, and I worked at another dog boarding facility/daycare from 2023-2025. I have extensive training in how to properly care for your dogs (and cats!) I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have three rescue dogs; a 12 year old Papillon named Archie, a 2 year old Papillon named Zoloft, and a 6 year old Maltipoo named Toaster! Although I absolutely adore all dogs, small dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. A little more about me: I am 31 years old and I am an on-set prop master in television/film. I am located in Cheektowaga, but I have a car so I don’t mind traveling a few extra miles! I work freelance so I have an abundance of free time between films! I have no other responsibilities when I’m off set, so I can focus all of my energy on your furry friend! I do everything in my power to make each pet feel comfortable and loved. I also spend a lot of time exercising and mentally stimulating each pet.

“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!”
“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!”
“Alena was VERY accommodating. We ran into a hiccup during boarding and she was so helpful in working out a solution. I loved the pictures and videos of Kirra!”
“I can't praise Melissa enough. She took excellent care of Chloe. She was also willing to adjust my dates if I decided to stay out of town an extra day. I'm already looking into booking Melissa again for our next vacation. 😀”
“Crystal is awesome! She has taken care of two of my dogs and our newest dog is very shy and anxious. Crystal went out of her way to make him feel at home. He wasn't eating a ton so she even went out and got him wet dog food which he ate well. By the end of his 3 days with Crystal he was feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Crystal, especially if your dog is anxious!”
“Mindy was wonderful with our Troops! We LOVED the updates & pics and felt very safe with him staying with her! He will be back very soon for a longer visit & we feel very happy knowing he’ll have a trusted companion while we are gone!”
“Our dog always has a great time with Dana and Jeremy. We really appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Dana and Jeremy take great care of our dog whenever we travel and we look forward to using them again!”
“We were very pleased with Joan and Timothy. They sent a picture or video each day that our dog Daisy was with them. She was taken on many walks and they enjoyed time together like hanging out in the garage watching the outside. We would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”
“Amanda was great taking care of Francisco. She was very responsive and sent multiple daily updates of Francisco. He seemed to have a really good time there and I definitely would book with her again.”
“Michaela did a wonderful job watching our two rescues for a day. This was their first stay with her and I would love to book a stay with her again in the future. She sent photos and put my mind at ease as I was worried about how my dogs would do, everything went perfectly! I couldnt be happier with today's visit. Thank you Michaela!”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
“Anna was amazing to my girls! She provided many pictures and updates, both my pups came home very sleepy and happy. It was really nice being able to travel and not worry about them. Highly recommend booking with her, she is the perfect person to care for your animals!”
“Jessica was amazing with caring for our Bailey! She is kind, reliable and a true dog lover. She follows all care instructions and keeps in communication with pictures and updates. We would book with her again without reservation.”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
