“Marie took great care of Duncan. She welcomed us into her home for a meet and greet the week before his stay. She has great experience with dogs, big and small. Duncan settled in quickly.

Thank you so much for helping us and taking such good care of Duncan.”

“Lesley was phenomenal! She took River at the last minute and provided excellent care, including sending me multiple photos and videos each day so I could keep up with my pup. I was much less anxious about leaving her knowing she was in such great company. River seemed really relaxed, too, and Lesley was very knowledgeable, just taking everything in stride. Highly recommend this sitter.”
“Great job with my dog! Deb sent pics and was super responsive to questions. My mother had to pick my dog up, and Deb was super flexible too. Thank you for everything!”

“Alex and his partner were amazing at taking care of our two pups. We received daily photos and updates. From the updates you could really tell how much they were bonding and getting to know our dogs. They are very professional and really make the extra effort to understand the dogs and make sure they have everything they need to be happy and settled while they are away. My dogs exhibited some territorial behavior when a new dog came to stay, but they were able to handle the situation with care and thoughtfulness. My dogs came back happy and healthy and would definitely have them stay again. Thanks for everything!!”
“My dog has never been happier besides me the pics I’ve seen made me feel so confident and comfortable with Rachel taking care of my baby boy he stayed active and she gave him the same level of care that I would have and khai her fur baby added the love to all the fun he had and in the pics she sent we will be seeing her again thanks for the love and care it is appreciated!!!”

Lucy especially loved all the outdoor time, the back yard is huge! We will be back at our next opportunity!!”

“Kathryn is a very nice sitter! She follows the instructions carefully and being really nice to my cats. She will contact me in time or asking for more she could help. Most importantly, she has the cutest window stickers!”
“Kayligh does a fantastic job checking in on my kitty when I’m out of town. She is very responsive, helpful, conscientious and trustworthy. My cat adores her which is saying a lot as she’s usually standoffish toward others.”
“She watched over my cat for a couple of hours and was amazing. Updated me with pictures and videos making sure he was okay. He loved the pets and attention from her. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Alana is timely and attentive! We have heard many good things about using Rover but Alana went above and beyond to ensure our comfort in using a new service, as well as treating our cat with exorbitant care. She would spend tons of time just playing with him, beyond just feeding him and checking on him. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 50 years and currently share my home with three cats. I understand that cats thrive on routine and that trust is earned on their terms. Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, or a little spicy, I’ll provide patient, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away.
“I don't know that 5 stars is enough for Sarah. She was amazing with the boys, asked amazing questions when she came to visit and was very responsive during her visits! I already have her on the books for October! Highly recommend!!! Thank you Sarah!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and owned my own for 7 years. I have house sat for multiple families and prefer to stay at the home since I have found it to be less stressful for the pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, Guinea pigs, horses, and even reptiles! I also have experience with animals that need medication such as anxiety meds and insulin. I am currently in esthetics school and working park time. Depending on when booking my schedule may be different. If your pet is special needs, I will adjust my schedule to fit those needs when given advanced notice. If the yard is fenced I will use that or a leash if that is provided. I can also take your dogs on a walks! When letting dogs out, I prefer to keep an eye on them so I will usually sit outside while they do their business.
“I originally Booked for a drop in visit for christmas Eve. because of the Blizzard my plans changed to the next weekend. deborah was very accomodating to my change. Did a wonderful job with my boys. Will definitely use her again. I recommend her.”
About: I have always had pets my whole life, a whole variety of them too! I have experience working with much larger animals including horses as well, which happen to be my favorite! I have cared for a handful of neighbors pets including walking them, feeding, taking out, and playing too. I am working part-time currently so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your feline or fido! Walks are always a plus as I get my exercise too! I am always one to put the animal first. If your baby is a little more skiddish, I'll give them plenty of time to warm up! If they want to play an extra few minutes, I'm more than happy to throw their toy for them. If they would rather relax and cuddle, I will be more than happy! Whatever they want always comes first.
“Hollis was an absolute angel for my little man Peter. He kept him company, followed my directions, showed kindness and compassion. He even did my dishes and room out the trash which wasn’t part of the job! We had one miscommunication which he cleared up and made up for. I would hire Hollis again and recommend him.”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of my three cats. She came over to get a key, meet the kitties, and learn the feeding routine. She took pictures each day and texted them to me so I could see how they were doing. Next time I travel, I will reach out to Elizabeth again.”
About: I've almost always had cats in my life, I grew up with them and adopted my own as an adult. I have experience with kittens as well as seniors and in between. I also have experience leash training kittens. I will be obssesed with your cat even if they are hesitant about me. I've cat sit for kitties that are happy to see me and grumpy ones that want me to kick rocks. I respect their boundaries and love them all! I also have experience caring for other animals so lemme know if you need someone to watch your goat (or other unique pet)! 😁

“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”
“Gigi was great with Marshall! Their home is very welcoming and prepared to keep the dogs happy and safe. Great back yard too! Marshall enjoyed playing with their two King Charles’”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.
“Kiara is AMAZING!! I wish I could move her to LA with me. The best dog sitter I’ve had on rover and I use rover very often. As a helicopter dog mom, I would absolutely recommend Kiara to everyone! It was the best experience! Thank you Kiara!”
“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
“Alex and Bayern were both amazing hosts. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to leave Ziggy by himself. They took really great care of Ziggy and made him (and us) feel at home. We would highly recommend them and we’ll always return to them whenever we’re back in town. Thank you being such amazing hosts and taking care of Ziggy!”
“Garrison is AWESOME! So nice, flexible and loving. Eddy really enjoyed his stay with her and her pups. After a meet and greet I took Eddy back for a day of fun and he could not wait to get out of the car and run to her. He came home a happy and tired dog. We will definitely use Garrison's "camp" again.”
About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life and currently loving my 8 year old lab mix. I have an affinity towards big dogs, but love all fur babies. Recently retired so I’ll be home a lot. I have a decent sized fenced back yard. I have lots of love to give to your pets like they were my own. Recently retired with a wide range of days and times available. Love going for walks. My schedule will work with your needs and your pets schedule. Pet friendly home. I’m very flexible and will follow your pets routine. Whatever your pets need to be happy and healthy I’m here to help.
About: I cared for my dog for 11 years until she passed, and now I wish to make other dogs happy and safe. Will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I would be available as needed basis. I do have a friend who would help during the day if I have to do contract work. I would give them the attention they deserve to make them not feel lonely. Try to keep their mind active from thinking they were abandoned.
“Norman loved going to Anthony and Jayson’s! They took awesome care of him and were quick to help me with daycare when something came up with my normal dog sitter. I will definitely be using them in the future!”
About: I am a dog lover I have a strong passion to care for pets and a nurturing aura. I have ability to adapt to any dog's mood for example sick dogs who need quiet time and love. For dogs who are active and playful will enjoy playin and running around with a energetic individual as myself. I have also delivered 4 liters of puppies. Your pet will love to interact or cuddle with me anytime of day. I also make delicious treat for the sweet and an all around pet pleaser. Making sure all needs are met for your pet is my main goal I strive to accomplish on a daily basis. Your pet will be well taken care (360 pampered care) of as if they where part of my family.
“We needed a sitter and Jamie was there. She was informative and respectful. We received status reports and pictures throughout the day. It was good to know our Jack was good hands! I definitely recommend.”
“They weee both so loving toward my little Loki. He got all the snuggles and attention he could ask for. I loved seeing the pictures they sent and just how happy they all were. It shows how much they care for the animals they watch.”
About: I've raised two energetic puppies through adolescence and frequently provide dog-sitting services for friends in the area. I also have experience working as an enrichment specialist at a well-known doggy daycare in Rochester and volunteering as a foster for local rescues. I am experienced with anxious dogs and can adapt to your fur-baby's specific needs. I'm trained in basic human and canine CPR, and I'm skilled at recognizing early signs of reactive behavior in animals. While I'm not perfect, I'm highly attentive. Since I’m home most of the time, I’ll ensure your pet stays healthy, happy, and safe! We are an adventure duo -- you can catch us at the beach playing fetch in the water, hiking, or just taking long strolls along the canal! On days where the weather is rainy, we still get 3 walks a day (morning, noon, evening) with thorough wipe downs after! Meal times are interwoven with short training sessions. I have dedicated several rooms in my house to doggy activity areas -- agility equipment, floor mats, etc (see photos). Grooming is done very regularly. My pup has environmental allergies so we also do a water rinse daily when we return from our adventures. When your baby stays with me, they will receive the same treatment (if they are comfortable getting brushed). He is my entire life and I couldn’t be happier! I have included photos of my home (and the excessive amount of dog toys we own) in my profile. Several of the rooms in my house are dedicated to doggy activities/enrichment and I also have a fenced in yard. I have also made sure that my set up allows me to separate dogs from each other if they ever get over stimulated -- I have enough rooms where each dog can be in their own room. I also have a doggy door so most days when the weather is not atrocious the dogs can relieve themselves/play as they please. Also my sun room is dedicated to dog care so if need be I can gate off/separate pooches that get too worked up (or just need privacy eating). I do have two crates — one for super small dogs and the other for dogs up to 35 lbs. My dog is crate trained but prefers free range so I have dog beds in every single room. Dogs are welcome on furniture but please make sure they have been recently bathed (within a few days before) if you are boarding as we keep our home extremely clean (the carpets get washed every month and vacuum and swiffering are done daily). We are probably not a good fit if your dog does not get along with other dogs, because my dog is still young and very energetic. If your dog does not like to play but does not react aggressively to other dogs attempting to initiate play, Momo would be fine as he does eventually give up if the other dog does not engage him at all. When we schedule a meet and greet, you can expect to meet us outside the front yard for a couple block long walk together before going to the backyard to let the pooches sniff each other out. Since Momo is a chow-mix, he is protective by nature and does not like it if other fur-babies he does not know well try to jump on his mom so I will likely only greet your baby after I put him back in the house.
About: Hi there! I would love to provide a clean and home-like environment for your pets. I have over 25 years of caring for all types of animals. Available for boarding dogs and cats, house sitting(I’m unable to accommodate staying overnights), and drop-ins! Your pets will feel right at home in my care with all the attention and love they deserve! I am super fun to be around and I'm very active so your pet won't be bored or ever feel alone. I live on an acre with lots of open space for walks and playtime. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. Pet care is built into my daily routine—it’s a priority, not a task. From morning walks to evening feedings and playtime, I schedule my day around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed—while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as they do with their own family.
About: Hi, my name is Lindsay and I’m an animal lover through and through. I grew up in a cat‑loving family with the most adorable tabby and Persian cats. One of our Persians, Sweetie, was especially close to me. She passed away a few years ago, and losing her truly broke my heart—she was with me for so long and gave me so many wonderful memories. I also spend a lot of time with my family’s dogs—a brown Labrador, a German Shorthaired Pointer, and a pair of Boston Terriers—and I always make sure to play with them whenever we’re together. Back in high school, my mom, sister, and I volunteered at our local humane society. We cleaned kennels and litter boxes, played with the animals, and gave them the affection and company they needed. I’ve also cared for many of my family’s and friends’ cats and dogs over the years, and there has never been a dull moment. Pets bring so much joy. A little about me: I love hiking, doodling, drinking coffee, playing mobile games, reading, and traveling. I enjoy spending time with my family, good friends, and—of course—fur babies. I’m flexible, easygoing, and always happy to hang out with pets who need love and attention. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the care and affection they deserve. I work part‑time from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I offer weekend boarding and weekday availability after my work hours. My yard is fully fenced and secure, giving your fur baby a safe place to play. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so your pet will enjoy calm walks right outside my home.
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!

“Kim is absolutely wonderful! She’s so responsible and attentive, always leaving detailed walk updates with plenty of adorable pictures. It’s clear she truly cares about my pups and notices all their little needs. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands.”
“David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.”
“Kathryn has been amazing!! Always on time and very professional. She is great with Trooper, and gives me daily updates after his walks. She is also very responsive to her messages. I highly suggest!!”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of pets in high school, college, and finally had the opportunity to get a pup of my own. I have taken care of special needs pets, even working with a deaf pup to teach him commands using sign language and a cat that has diabetes. I am responsible, my own pet needing special care due to separation anxiety and a sensitive stomach and skin. He has given me more joy than I could have imagined I look forward to meeting your bundle of joy too! I’m going to school online and have time to make sure your pup is happy, healthy, and well exercised! I know what it’s like to worry about your pet while you’re at work/ doing what you need to do! I’m here to make sure you are at ease! I have one neutered male doggo that loves friends! We love to explore the local parks and we work on leash training every day! I have a large fenced in backyard perfect for playing! If we aren’t exploring, we can be sun bathing, or playing in the backyard!
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for friends and family for over 10 years, and I absolutely love giving pets unforgettable experiences while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for. I am very active and love taking walks with all dogs. After losing my own dog years ago, pet sitting has become a meaningful way to fill that void and share the love I have for animals. I’m currently working full-time in a school from 8-3pm. During the week I am available after 3pm for drop in visits and/or walks. On weekends I am available for drop ins and/or walks morning, afternoon and evenings. During the summer I am a nanny, however have a flexible schedule to let pets out throughout the day!

About: I have had much experience around animals. From the time I was little, our family has taken care of 3 dog and 5 cats. As I grew up, I have had my own cat that lived with me for 18 years, name was Virginia. She was half siamese. I am currently working partime, so I will have plenty of time working with your pups and cats! I am also available on the weekend for boarding! I have a nice apartment in a safe neighborhood in Irondequoit. I can walk and housesit your cat/dog in a safe place. Their is also a dog park behind my home.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old. All of my friends parents as a child as well as neighbors and relatives have all asked me time and time again to care for their pets in their home so they can relax while. Pets are my life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and love walking them, playing with them and entertaining them. I will make your pets feel like they are part of my family, not only feeding and walking them but loving them while you are away. I look forward to play dates with your dogs and you can look forward to any updates you need while you are away. Pet care is continuous for us, day and night! We play multiple times a day, my husky mix loves playing soccer! I have games for my dogs, and they love the puzzles. I am currently doing pet care, and a few other small jobs to see where it goes. I am going to have good availability for a while! I have a fully fenced yard and 2 happy dogs, one is a 1 year old husky mix girl, fixed who would love a playmate, and the other is a 6 year old girl, fixed shepherd sized mix who likes to watch the playing more then participate in it.

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

About: I've cared for animals my entire life from hamsters to cattle.. but dogs are my love! I have experience with all types and sizes, but specialize in bully breeds and mastiffs. It's important to me that dogs are balanced with training and play (which they'll get with me!). I'm also proficient in training tools such as prong and e-collars in case your pup is in training and needs continuation during our time together. I work full time from home with a flexible schedule. My work day schedule allows for drop-ins and walks given adequate notice. Emergency visits/walks are also available as I know how tough it can be when those last minute changes come up. Pet sitting in your home is preferred. I've found that this keeps your pup(s) more comfortable and less stressed during your time away. Each situation is different, and I'm open to chat through different options.

About: I have 20+ years of experience loving and caring for animals! I've had cats and dogs my whole life, and so have cared for kittens and puppies all the way up to senior dogs and cats at the end of their lives. I've cared for exuberant pups, anxious shelter dogs, elderly dogs who need extra care and caution, cuddly cats, and cats who prefer care from a distance. I love them all! I provide a calm environment and presence for your pet, and give them the care and attention they need while you are at work or away! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so am able to schedule pet visits and walks on my down time. I am available for longer walks and visits a few days a week as well! In your home, I follow the rules, guidelines, and routines you have set for your pets. On walks, we will always use a leash and ensure it's a safe route for your particular pet.
“Julia was great with Diamond. She made my pup feel at ease during her walks. Julia communicates well and is very responsive to questions or doubts you might have. She kept me informed during every walk and sent many photos and videos. She's also flexible with her schedule, I had to move diamond's walking times about a half hour and Julia was totally fine with it. Very responsible young lady. Would definitely book with her again in the future”

“Ever since I’ve found Ricardo I’m able to travel without any worries he updates me frequently with pictures and how beans is doing. Glad to have found him and will be using him from here on out 😬”
“Great job with my dog! Deb sent pics and was super responsive to questions. My mother had to pick my dog up, and Deb was super flexible too. Thank you for everything!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we would not hesitate to use Anthony and Jayson again! The communication was amazing and we got lots of pictures. We knew our girl was loved and cared for, and were at ease being so far away. She had a great time!”
“Kate will be forever treasured for talking marigold I’m such short notice and being so wonderful to her! She took such good care of our pup and is such a lovely girl. I couldn’t have had a better experience and we will always Hope Kate will be available when we take a trip!!!”
“Jesse did a great job with our puppies. I can tell our boys are very happy and excited when they see him. Jesse has a very comfortable place for the dogs to stay and relax while we are gone and he treats them nicely.”
“Jacque & Emily were absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. We received a lot of pictures and updates while we were gone. Both seemed happy and well cared for when we arrived to pick them up.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“Alex and his partner were amazing at taking care of our two pups. We received daily photos and updates. From the updates you could really tell how much they were bonding and getting to know our dogs. They are very professional and really make the extra effort to understand the dogs and make sure they have everything they need to be happy and settled while they are away. My dogs exhibited some territorial behavior when a new dog came to stay, but they were able to handle the situation with care and thoughtfulness. My dogs came back happy and healthy and would definitely have them stay again. Thanks for everything!!”
“My dog has never been happier besides me the pics I’ve seen made me feel so confident and comfortable with Rachel taking care of my baby boy he stayed active and she gave him the same level of care that I would have and khai her fur baby added the love to all the fun he had and in the pics she sent we will be seeing her again thanks for the love and care it is appreciated!!!”
“Amber was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of our sweet girl and provided us with great updates while we were away. You can tell she knows how to take care of dogs and I truly felt our fur baby was safe with her. We will definitely be using Amber again!!”
“I had an awesome experience with Garrison this weekend. My 9-month old puppy stayed with her overnight and had a great time at her house! Garrison is so friendly and communicative, I will definitely get in touch the next time I need a sitter!”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful! Our babies, Boone and Briar stayed with her for 3 days. She sent us updates, and many pictures, I never was never left wondering how they were doing. Briar was born 100% deaf so I'm naturally a little worried whenever he stays with someone new, as deaf dogs have a completely different set of needs than a hearing dog. Allison had experience with another deaf dog before, which was incredible to hear because so many shy away from deaf pups. It's very apparent she loves your baby as if it were her own while they're with her. Boone and Briar loved their stay, and are snoring away from all the excitement! Will 100% be using Allison again for all of our future doggy needs, and you should too!”
“Had a great experience with Patrick. We had an unplanned trip for family reasons and had to find a sitter for Whiskey (1yo unfixed cav) a day before leaving. Patrick was very accommodating with this last minute booking and extending Whiskey's stay for another night. Whiskey had an awesome time playing with Moose. We got updates with pictures and videos. We're definitely going to book again for other trips”
“Cara and Dan were great! Their care for my mini poodle was awesome, communication with them was easy plus they sent a few pictures. And their home and property seemed very clean and well kept.”
“Danielle took excellent care of my cat while I was away. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout the stay. I’d definitely trust Danielle to watch my cat again and would happily use her services in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn is amazing!! I felt so much better knowing my dog was with her. She sent me pictures and updates each day. My dog got to run around and play with her dogs I doubt she wanted to leave. Kaitlyn was also super accommodating and kept my dog for a whole extra day during the holidays when flights got canceled. Absolute life saver would definitely recommend her!!”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter! She was responsive and asked a lot of questions to ensure she gave Yeti the best care. He had a blast running around her backyard and playing with everyone. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent. We would absolutely book with her again!”
