“Steve was super, our Samantha was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. II know she can be a handful and he treated her like she was one of his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“We highly recommend Amy! Amy was very welcoming and listened to my concerns at drop off. We were able to relax and enjoy our visit with family knowing that our girls were being so well cared for. We got pictures and updates daily and could see that the girls were having a good time. We will definitely contact Amy next time we come out this way.”
“Alex's set up was perfect for Oreo with lots of land to run around and play in and cozy spots to rest and chill. He only takes a few dogs at a time and they all seem to get lots of love and play. He was flexible when we had a sudden change to our schedule and we really appreciated that! Would definitely recommend his care for your pup.”
“Charlene was great, was able to take Winnie last minute for an overnight for us. Great communication throughout stay and Winnie was very happy!! Will definitely reach out to book another stay with Charlene.”
“Bee was absolutely wonderful! She seemed to have a magic touch with my goldens Daisy and Jude, who haven’t had much socialization with humans besides family. It was the first time they’ve ever been boarded, which was nerve wracking, but luckily she sent photos throughout their stay which put my mind at ease. They had a great time running around and playing in her big backyard, which is fenced. I would definitely recommend Bee and book with her again! ?”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
“Dana provided outstanding care for my dog Louie! She was able to send me updates and pictures throughout his stay. I couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy sitter! Thank you!”

“Luann was such a perfect fit to watch our Mabel. She is great with dogs, has a beautiful home, and huge fenced yard for outdoor activity. She graciously provided us with pics and videos while we were away which we appreciated. So thoughtful. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”
“Destiny was very accommodating with my odd work hours (12 hour night shifts) and took great care of my two pups. It was so nice to have peace of mind while at work that they were being well loved!”

“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Laura was amazing! She kindly and thoughtfully offered to meet me at the dog park since she was going there anyways, which was closer for me than her house. She sent cute pic updates. She even returned Kaya to me with some homemade treats to take with us. Kaya is. A high energy dog and needs her exercise. I could tell she got lots of exercise because she slept our entire ride home. I highly recommend you book your pup with her! Will definitely book again when I’m in the area.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I love animals of all kinds and as a pet owner know how important pets are to the family and how stressful it can be when being away from them!
“Nicole was amazing - prompt, loving with our cat, and even brought our mail in when I forgot packages were arriving. She was truly a godsend! Will use her again next time we leave town :)”
“Rejon is absolutely lovely! She took great care of my senior Yorkie and left me very detailed reports for every drop in. Will absolutely use her again in the future ☺️”
“Kara was on time for the meet and greet. She was engaging and showed genuine interest when we were talking. She has a quick smile which I liked. She got to meet Smoky but Joey was hiding under the bed because it was raining really hard and he hates the rain. It was a very positive meeting and we booked for Easter weekend. Gail”
“Sam was wonderful as always! We appreciate his patience with our shy cat and he is always able to find her, even in her more secret hiding spots. He is also great with our more social cat, who is always happy to have visitors. We are so grateful for Sam!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 30years. Began as my own pets and have continued over the years as fosters, rescues, and furry friends. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and any medical needs or disabilities. Have experience from bottle fed babies to seniors. Can care for your feline friends in their homes (because as a cat owner I know it’s really their house😹) or if they enjoy walks, I am experienced with that too!
“Maddy took great care of my two cats while I was away. She provided pictures and a summary of what occurred during each visit. She was very responsive to messages. I would recommend Maddy as a pet sitter!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I've raised dogs from puppies providing training and teaching obedience. Also providing assistance to senior animals. I currently work full time, 4 days a week (6am-5pm) Tues-Fri. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow for local visits and walks during working hours in the Owego area.

I offer one on one attention to your animal providing meals, water and bathroom breaks. Also including plenty of play time, exercise, and local hikes.
“Colleen checked in on my cats while I was out of town. She refilled food and water supply, and changed the waste bin for the automated litter box. She gave me photo updates of my cats greeting her at the door. I appreciated her services and would book again for whenever I am out of town.”
“DelilahaLynn Was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my elderly cat and sent me wonderful pictures of him. Our trip ended up being extended, and she absolutely had no problem with taking care of him for a few more days. I will absolutely book her again when I go on my next trip. I believe you can trust your fur babies in her care.”
About: Since I was a baby, I have had many pet cats. I have had 9 cats over my life. I am also a licensed veterinary technician. I have experience with administering oral medications and injections. During the summer of 2024, I spent a month in Southern New Jersey volunteering at an animal rescue. During my time there, I helped a local rescue humanely trap feral cats from a cat colony. I fostered four from the colony. One of the cats turned into an adoption and is now my roommate in my apartment. I love all cats, especially the spicy ones. I have experience with cats of all ages, from 6 week kittens to senior cats with special needs. I also have experience will feral cats, therefore I can handle any difficult cat. I promise I will love your cat as much as my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats my whole life. My partner and I have had our lovely senior cat, pictured above, for over 2 years now. He’s a senior with chronic ear infections and needs special biweekly ear cleaning. I love taking care of all cats, and I know how special our older friends are. I am comfortable with medical care and all the love and cleaning that comes with taking care of cats.
“Helayna seemed very responsible and genuinely loves animals. However, prior to booking when I asked, she failed to honestly disclose how many pets she currently had in her household already. I was under the impression our easily-stressed out cat would be in a quiet home when that was not the case at all.”
“Kari did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Marlo while I was away for a month. She left everything tidy so when I returned I didn’t have any cleanup to do. I really appreciated that. I highly recommend her.”
“Jeanette was great! She took the time to meet Duncan before scheduling the drop-in visit and Duncan loved her! This was my first time using Rover for a drop-in visit and she sent some pictures which made me feel at ease. I would definitely re-book with her!”
“Grace came to watch Bax with very short notice which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. She is caring , followed my instructions and Baxter seems very relaxed with her. I will be using her services again.”
About: I grew up with a cat and have owned my own for about 2 1/2 years. One of my cats is highly energetic and struggles with anxiety so for any of your pets that need daily medications, I have plenty of experience administering oral medications. I also know that finding a sitter that I trust with my furbabies can be difficult, especially if they’ve only ever worked with dogs. Cats have their own unique needs and language. You want someone who can understand that and having my own kitties gives me that perspective. If you have any questions about how I can meet your cat care needs, please reach out!

“Thank you Justin & Melissa for taking good care of Nick for me . I will definitely use your services in the near future. Thank you for being so accommodating for us . You’re the best . Thanks again Mike”
About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
“This was my dog's first time with a Rover sitter. Lorinda did her best to get him settled. She understood he was not wanting to be social. She got her chair and stayed by him while he was in her fenced area. Couldn't ask for more.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
About: I am just starting to my fourth career, playing with your companion. I recently retired from teaching sustainable development at UAlbany. I now spend my days outside with hairy friend Herman. I picked up my first stray, Bandit, at 9. I have had a at least one dog since then, I am now 63. All from shelters or strays. I also did doggie foster care too. Known to be gentle and friend of the furry ones. I start each day with a morning meander across the 25 acres on a dead end road. Your companion will be well exercised, loved and cared for as long as they get along with my 14 year old hairy friend Herman, who lets cats eat from his dishes. He runs the place when it comes to house rules. He does not have viscous bone in his body. After three careers and global travel I am recently retired. My days are spent gardening, walking, sitting on the porch, listening to music, etc. I am rarely gone more than a few hours as Herman, my four legged friend, needs special care at 14 years old. I am typically up before dawn, no dog or alarm necessary. My day typically begins with me waking predawn and greeting the new day with my hound Herman on the 25 acres we cohabitate. Most is abandoned agriculture returning to forest for 35 plus years that is bisected by a small babbling brook. Breakfast is then served before returning outside. In climate weather I am outside more than 70% of my day outside. At 14 he chooses to stay in sometimes. Your companion will be free to make their own choice too. My life ambition is to nurture life. I have cared for pets since I was born as my family had cats. There is a fenced area that includes four shaded area. There will be plenty of water, including a baby pool for play as well as sprinklers. This area is shares two fences lines with my garden, has direct access to a walk out basement, and is fully visible from my porch. The dogs will have near 24/7 personal attention and care. I live sustainably. There are no chemicals in my lawn or garden. I have an enclosed porch that in the summer is open air, but no steps to escape. Only with your permission would I walk a guest off leash. Before walking them off leash I will need feel 100% confident they respond to command when other distractions are present. Again with your permission I would take your friend to a fenced in dog park visit as a trial run. Herman, my housemate, is a happy healthy 14 year old he is my best reference. He also has final word on all guest of all species. About an 1/2 acre is fenced with direct access from the house through the basement door. It includes shaded doggie lounges, a baby pool in the summer, toys galore, and lots of attention as the space is adjacent to my garden and the covered porch. It has the capacity to be divided if unruly dog needs to be isolated or there are little ones that just need time away from the bigger ones. Indoors, dogs are free to roam in the basement and first floor. If they are cage trained I can accommodate that. The two beds are off limits. To prevent misunderstanding with bed loving dogs I will keep my guest room. Both the porch and the living room couches are fine. Little ones may use chairs too. The house is really set up for Herman’s comfort and safety. The 32x10 covered front porch is a favorite of Herman and all his visiting friends. Your hairy friend will be delighted by this feature too. One more thing, the hardwood floors are currently covered in rubber “yoga mats” as Herman can not cope with slippery floors. There are also many large dog beds that Herman is happy to share. Opps, where are our manners; welcome to our slice of Paradise!😊
About: ** I took a break from Rover, but I’m happy to be back and excited to offer pet care again! (Est. Jan ‘26) 🐾✨ I bring over 5 years of hands-on experience from working at a local dog daycare, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m by no means a trainer, but have worked with one, and am comfortable training puppies on basic commands and have experience providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs as well. I treat every dog like my own and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, so caring for animals is already built into my routine. I also currently have a crew of my own — 3 dogs (just welcomed a puppy in Dec. 2025) & have a flock of 24 chickens! As I continue using Rover, I’m excited to grow this into something more consistent, with the goal of potentially offering pet care full time in the future. Animals truly are a big part of my everyday life 🖤🐾 I’m able to be home and present, so pets get lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also have dogs who do great with other dogs, which can be a fun and positive socialization experience when it’s a good fit. I have crates available if needed, extra bowls, and enrichment toys like snuffle mats and games to keep pets engaged and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you so much to Shanea and family for caring for our Boy during a busy trip, and being so lovely and patient with a rapidly changing schedule. We would definitely book Shanea again anytime we are in town!”
“Nicole did such a nice job with our Tilly! Nicole communicated well and is very knowledgeable which put me at ease. I felt very comfortable having Tilly stay with her, she came home happy and tired out after a day of play. Will definitely book with Nicole again!”
About: I have a small dog, an indoor piggy, and a caged bird. I have grown up with pets, and always make sure they are properly taken care of. I love all animals, and strive to provide them the best stay possible. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur babies! I enjoy walking in the morning and evening, and if your pup enjoys that they can tag along! The animals will be taken care of just as my own. My dog is spoiled, and loves to snuggle. She’s is not aggressive towards other dogs, she just prefers humans. The animals are allowed on furniture and allowed to sleep in bed with Charlie and myself; as my home is their home for the duration of their stay!

“Erin was great with Baxter - he loved going on walks with her! Erin is easy to work with and is good at responding to questions and changes in schedule. She’s very friendly and responsible! We’ll definitely book her again in the future!”
“Maddy went above and beyond for us. We were travelling and she was kind enough to take our dogs for a walk and feed them from our hotel room while we enjoyed the NASCAR race. Maddy was very responsive and made us feel our dogs were in very good hands. I highly recommend Maddy and her exceptional services. The dogs give high paws!!”

“Colleen is excellent. She took great care of my puppy. She noticed a sore/ hotspot and arranged for us to get in to see her vet the same day and even volunteered to take him if my schedule didn’t allow.”
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician. I am currently a pre-vet student at SUNY Binghamton. I am dedicating my life to taking care of animals. I have had a variety of pets as well as working with them in a veterinary setting such as cats, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and small mammals, just to name a few. I have experience with administering oral medications as well as injections. I have experience with dog training. I have worked with my own dogs from puppy classes to advanced training. Therefore, I am able to help you with training issues. I excited to care for your fur babies as if they are my own. I am currently on summer break from SUNY Binghamton. I am looking for a part time job at a veterinary hospital. This leaves me for your fur babies. My schedule is flexible. As a licensed veterinary technician, I am fear free certified. This means one of my jobs is to reduce the stress for your fur babies. I also have experience with working with anxious dogs and cats.
About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog caregiver who’s comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I currently have a 122-pound chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with handling large, strong dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I believe every dog deserves exercise, attention, and care tailored to their personality and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, trail runs, or playtime at the park, I make sure dogs stay active, healthy, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like family—with plenty of exercise, affection, and fun. With the summer off from my full-time job, I have a flexible schedule and am available from early morning to early evening, unless discussed differently. If your dog is staying at my house I’d like to have my dog meet yours to see how they interact together. My dog is very friendly and good with other animals. I do have a crate if needed in my house.
About: I am a lover of all pets and have experience ranging from stopping by for bathroom breaks/feeding to overnight house sitting. I have been relied on to walk, feed, and give medication to cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all size pets. I am a young adult with no children and work 8am-4pm, Monday-Friday. I am able to work from home once and month and around the holidays from September to mid-May. I work from home once a week in the summer months. I am also able to leave for lunch so I can easily pop over on my lunch break. After work, I usually just relax and go to the gym so, I would love to be accompanied by your pet! Unfortunately, someone in my household has a pet allergy, but I am more than to stay at the caregiver’s home where the pet is more comfortable. I will follow and comply to any care instructions. I respect others’ spaces and belongings and will leave your home exactly as you left it, if not cleaner (I love cleaning). I have been trusted in others home’s before and understand the significance of that trust. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away and I am happy to accommodate all needs to do so! I love cuddles and will play with them. I realize an owner’s absence is usually stressful for pets, and both you and your pet should feel like they’re in good hands! I don’t have a pet of my own, so I will love and give them all the attention they need (:
“We were so lucky to have found Celia during our three month contract here in Binghamton. She truly loves dogs and it is evident by the way she treats them ! She brought toys for them and always sent tons of pictures- we are sad to be leaving her behind! My dogs will surely miss her and I always knew I could count on her even in bad weather. Highly recommend Celia for dog drop ins or walks- she is truly dedicated and will do what ever it takes to win over your dogs trust. Five stars !”
About: I’ve been pet sitting alone for about 8 years now! Friends, neighbors, and other folks have relied on me to feed and walk their pets as well as house sit. I’ve worked with cats, dogs, almost all domestic farm species, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. I’ve just graduated UVM with an Animal Science degree, where I’ve taken helpful classes such as Intro To Exotic Pet Care class and Canine Behavior where I trained local shelter dogs. Through my studies, I’ve learned about nutrition, anatomy, welfare, husbandry, and diseases/ailments for many species. I’ve worked with a lot of senior animals who have a variety of backgrounds at a farm sanctuary, so I’m comfortable working with pets with special needs. I’ve also been working as an ICH Tech at an equine clinic so I am comfortable with medications such as injections as well. I love talking about my experience and am happy to answer any questions people may have! I love going for walks and hiking! The outdoors are so beautiful and even more lovely when you get to share them with a pet. Early morning walks are my personal favorite. Pet visits also work well in my schedule. I don't mind stopping by to let a pet out, feed, clean, and provide enrichment. I love reading and am happy to hang out with pets outside while I do so. Clear communication and meeting the needs of the client are the most important pieces to pet care to me. I like to take notes about expectations and routines, such as feeding or play time, that way I can provide pets with the most consistency and familiarity I can. I like to update folks about their pets by sending photos and messages. And I keep my phone nearby with notifications on throughout my time so that I am available if folks have any questions, concerns, or are just missing their pet and would like a picture!
About: Walks every 2-3 hours playtime feedings and bathing if necessary can help with training puppies like potty training or just commands if needed.. will provide the supplies for potty training Pet care fits in well, I don't work and the only time I won't be able to accept a request is if I have a appointment I don't have pets anymore but I used to feed them take on good walks and have play time I live in a gated community so leash will be required unless the owner says it's good with commands
About: We’ve had a family cat for 17 years, and I’ve been a pet parent on my own for the last (almost) 6 years. I own a cattle dog named Ruby, and a cat named Harper. Former groomer (1.5 years). Former vet assistant, so I'm comfortable giving medications. Ask about nail trims or basic grooming needs! I’m the proud mom of a cattle dog and a kitty, and hooman sister to a cattle dog and an old lady cat. Huge animal lover, former dog groomer (1.5 years) and vet assistant. I treat each animal with the same respect as if they were my own. I promise, if they let me, I will absolutely love on them as much as they allow. I am clean, quiet and love giving cuddles and head scratches. I have almost 3 years of professional animal handling experience between grooming and working in the vet office and 17 years of having an animal in my home to care for.
About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.
About: Starting from a young age I knew I needed to be a pet care provider. Starting in high school I worked at several barns providing care for various livestock and companion animal species alike. While I love our livestock, I find more fulfillment in helping our household pets. I’m currently working on an animal care and behavior degree, and work at an animal hospital. I have experience in giving oral medications (to both dogs and cats) as well as subcutaneous fluids. I’ve managed several complex medication plans and understand how important a regular routine is for our pets. If you think we would be a good fit please reach out with any questions you may have. I do work full-time during work days, however, I can accommodate your pets needs during the day as long as we have clear communication. Aside from my full time work schedule, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets get the highest quality of care possible. Every pet is different! What works for one animal may throw your own pet into a panic and I’m here to make sure we can create a routine for your pet that makes them the most comfortable when you can’t be there. If your dog needs outside time and you don’t have a yard, let’s find the closest park or walking trail! Do your pets become anxious over night? I’ll be there to snuggle their worries away and provide all the pepperoni and churu they could ask for. Whatever your pets needs are, we’ll have an open line for communication throughout their time with me to ensure both you and them are happy.

“Steve was super, our Samantha was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. II know she can be a handful and he treated her like she was one of his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“We highly recommend Amy! Amy was very welcoming and listened to my concerns at drop off. We were able to relax and enjoy our visit with family knowing that our girls were being so well cared for. We got pictures and updates daily and could see that the girls were having a good time. We will definitely contact Amy next time we come out this way.”
“Alex's set up was perfect for Oreo with lots of land to run around and play in and cozy spots to rest and chill. He only takes a few dogs at a time and they all seem to get lots of love and play. He was flexible when we had a sudden change to our schedule and we really appreciated that! Would definitely recommend his care for your pup.”
“Bee was absolutely wonderful! She seemed to have a magic touch with my goldens Daisy and Jude, who haven’t had much socialization with humans besides family. It was the first time they’ve ever been boarded, which was nerve wracking, but luckily she sent photos throughout their stay which put my mind at ease. They had a great time running around and playing in her big backyard, which is fenced. I would definitely recommend Bee and book with her again! ?”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
“Dana provided outstanding care for my dog Louie! She was able to send me updates and pictures throughout his stay. I couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy sitter! Thank you!”

“Luann was such a perfect fit to watch our Mabel. She is great with dogs, has a beautiful home, and huge fenced yard for outdoor activity. She graciously provided us with pics and videos while we were away which we appreciated. So thoughtful. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”
“Destiny was very accommodating with my odd work hours (12 hour night shifts) and took great care of my two pups. It was so nice to have peace of mind while at work that they were being well loved!”
“Did an amazing joke with taking care of my boy. I had to run out of town last minute so I am grateful for the quick response and willingness. I got some pictures and good communication”
“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Laura was amazing! She kindly and thoughtfully offered to meet me at the dog park since she was going there anyways, which was closer for me than her house. She sent cute pic updates. She even returned Kaya to me with some homemade treats to take with us. Kaya is. A high energy dog and needs her exercise. I could tell she got lots of exercise because she slept our entire ride home. I highly recommend you book your pup with her! Will definitely book again when I’m in the area.”
“Fantastic -- Constant, clear communication before and during the stay. Very caring and very knowledgeable, as well as sensitive to our dog's specifics. So fortunate to have met Eileen and Ricky -- a tremendous relief to have such great care for the smoosh!”
