“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.”
“Haley and her fur babies were amazing hosts to my little blind guy Luca. Always sending pictures and updates. Thank you so much for the peace of mind I got while having him stay with you.”
“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. He got lots and lots of exercise and slept comfortably in her bed. Marie sent pictures and updates every day. Duncan loved his time at “camp”. Thank you so much for helping us and taking such good care of Duncan.”
“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!”
“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 😬”
“Gigi is so sweet! And she has the perfect set up for happy pups. This was my first time leaving my boy. I was so relieved to find such a great family. Great communication and sent great text updates. I can’t thank Gigi enough. 💕”
“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.”
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.
“I could not have had a better first time experience for my shy girl. So many pics and videos that I could see her settling in and quickly getting comfortable. She looked so at home by the end! Lourdes is very loving and attentive. Her dog Yoko is so sweet and laid back she would get along with anyone. She makes a great companion. Lucy especially loved all the outdoor time, the back yard is huge! We will be back at our next opportunity!!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Anastasia watched Willow for two weeks while we were in Europe. She sent us updates periodically which was perfect since we were on vacation. Our daughter picked up Willow at the end and said that Willow was content and calm which means Willow had a good time adjusting. We will definitely use Anastasia again!”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Kathleen and Brian were fantastic!! They provided daily updates on how my dog was doing. They really care about the dogs they are watching and it is very evident. If I need my dog to be watched again I will gladly be requesting their services.”
“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!”

“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 worked with pets of every shape and size and I've owned a dog or cat for the majority of my life. Juno, my last dog, I cared for so much that I brought him from Australia back to America when I moved back home after studying abroad. I've owned virtually every type of pet from hamster to lizard over my life and I know how to react to difficult situations. I've even saved Juno's life on more than one occassion (Australia has poisonous blowfish) so I have a wide range of experience. I work another part time job which I have time to fit my love of pet care in between during most days given my flexible schedule. I will ensure the environment is perfectly secure and safe for the pet with no possible exits for them to escape. I would make sure they're within my sight 100% of the time and be sure to give them as much attention as they want.

“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.”

About: Always had pets (cats, dogs, rodents) growing up, one year of horse barn experience and dog training apprenticehood at Summit K9 in Rochester NY! My dog training consisted of... - consistent feedback from two licensed trainers - leash walking skills - reactivity reduction (barking at other dogs, the door, people) - managing doggy daycare including half a day of one on one training and half a day of social groups - creating groups, managing consistent training across multiple employees - assessing the training and social level of any particular dog - crating skills - taking crate sensitive/aggressive dogs in and out of crates - walking people sensitive/stranger aggressive dogs - teaching cue recognition (place, sit, down, yes, no) - caring for boarding dog's needs - walking multiple dogs at once, training dogs to walk together With cats I am comfortable and knowledgeable about... - providing appropriate play - basic training using food incentive and luring - picking up a cat appropriately by supporting the spine and reducing tension on the scruff - responding to stomach issues and puke - reading body language for anxiety and aggression With horses I am familiar and comfortable with all daily care including stable cleaning and fetching skiddish horses from pasture. As for my pets.. My first cat was a stray found at 4 weeks that I learned how to teach to groom and care for himself. I also know how to manage ear mites, or any other kind of skin or tick care. Our dog was a breeder who also has needed a lot of specialized care. I am most experienced with rodents (have owned over 8 rats, 4 guinea pigs and a rabbit)! I've never personally owned a bird or a lizard, but have cared for friends and I always commit to accurate research. If you have any questions or worries regarding my experience and competency I would love to hear from you! I am very available right now, and I intend to make pet care my biggest priority. I am happy to discuss all kinds of scheduling. I love going above and beyond for my pets. Our cats are indoor and outdoor but I am always checking on them and keep a consistent feeding schedule to prevent overeating (they have sensitive stomachs). Our dog is also very needy, as she has some anxiety from her last owner so she needs to always be accompanied while outside and will not do certain things alone. I keep my rats in my room where they get frequent engagement with the whole family, and I enjoy making homemade puzzles and toys for them. Overall, all of our animals live active, healthy lives!
“Kevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. I’ll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I can take care of cats or dogs and will love them like they are my own! Animals are my passion in life and I love to spend my free time taking care of them. I work Monday-Thursday but am available after 5:00PM on those days and any time Fridays and Saturdays. I currently have two cats of my own who I love to spend my time with as well. I am experienced in safely harnessing, walking and crating dogs. I also have owned animals my whole life and am aware of their boundaries and the fact that all animals are different.
About: Megan- lover of all things with a beating heart; avid nature enthusiast. Have cared for pets personally and privately since I was 10. Clients relied on me for potty breaks and basic daily care. I have cat-sit as well as horse-sit. Making sure the pets are happy at all times and being engaged in their surroundings is a goal for me. Have trained several of my own dogs - I have 3 - and several dogs in the family & friends. I understand levels of obedience and train ability differ from animal to animal and have the patience to work among your animals needs. Have worked at doggie daycare and a dog kennel extensively in my career. Have administered plenty of dog medications. Bryanna - kind hearted, nurturing individual. Have been enjoying the company of my dogs and others’ pets since about 2010. Have dog-sat & cared for some wild pets, even chickens and snakes! Brought a tiny blind kitten back to life. Had roughly 2 years of basic grooming experience. Nail trimming/dremel, ear cleaning, brushing, bathing. Went on to work at a dog kennel, relocated to Buffalo, and worked at another dog kennel (the same one as Megan!) and learned even more about body language and behavior. Looking forward to meeting the sweet pets! We usually take our 3 dogs out for socialization purposes at least twice a day including walking, playing, training, public stimulation. We have a very open schedule and can almost always assist whenever a client needs. We live closely to multiple public parks, Lake Ontario, Canalside, etc. Our 3 dogs enjoy everywhere we have taken them and we hope that your pets will enjoy these places too. We do offer pet sitting at your home, we would request that we have a way to enter the home and if any products are specific to YOUR PET that they are provided for our use. (Example prescription food, medications, enrichment toys) The house sitting details will be thoroughly worked through with the homeowner beforehand.

“I was doing a 10 mile hike at Letchworth which is too long for my puppy to hike. Emma lives very close to the hiking trailhead so dropping off my dog was very convenient. Emma and her pup were wonderful hosts. My dog seemed very happy to be there for doggy daycare. Great value for the price. I will definitely book again.”

“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 had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!
“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’”
“Calli was great with our dog, we dropped her off for just 6 or so hours and Calli was warm & welcoming to our slightly anxious dog. Would definitely recommend her service and will use again in the future if we ever are in the area again!”
“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!”
“She came to my house to meet my dog and answered my questions before the doggie day care service I was coordinating. Everyone went smoothly the day of, and Emily sent me pics and videos of my puppy playing with her dogs. He was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed himself. She was always very prompt in hey messaging with me. I would use Emily again in the future.”
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: 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.
“We were traveling in from Ohio and needed someone to watch over our 2 year old Bernedoodle 'Bernie' for the day as we celebrated my grand daughters graduation/ birthday. We traveled 45 mins to use Abigail because of her reviews and experience. Abigail was wonderful with communication, answering questions, providing pictures and updates during the entire process. It makes you a little nervous leaving your fur baby with a stranger but Rover helps to make everything easier with their program. We give Abigail an A+ in all areas and will definitely use her again if we are in the area again. Michael, Teresa and Bernie from Ohio”
About: I have worked years with saving animals and have always been a big dog lover. Looking to do what I love most . I have 2 children that I recently took in and have a new puppy who loves other dogs. She is a sweet girl. I would love to have more dogs but really cant afford to . So this way I can help others with their pets and my girl can have some playmates. I live in a house on 3 acres. I have kennel , electric fence and a chain for dogs to go out on. Whatever is best for your dogs. I am flexible on size of dogs and have experience with many dog personalities. I do own 2 cats but can keep them away from dogs.

About: I am a retired teacher who has had pets my whole life. My own children are grown and I am out of the classroom and thrive on taking care of beloved pets - my own and others. I am a hiker and enjoy having canine company when I walk. I will treat your family members with safe, loving kindness. I am involved with rescue work. Both of my dogs are rescues. My Cocker Spaniel was rescued after spending 6 years as a breeder in a puppy mill. I look at each dog I encounter as an individual with their own unique needs based on their temperament and background. This means that I am flexible when dealing with pups. I love cats but don't have one of my own because one of my dogs is reactive to them. I take care of friends' cats in their own homes. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I have the freedom to arrange my schedule according to the needs of the dogs in my home. I have a fenced in tard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog comfortable. My dogs are never left unattended even in the fenced in yard. I am always out with them when they are out. I am an experienced foster of dogs recently released from puppy mills. These dogs are flight risks so safety is always my first concern with any dog in my care. I use the two leash protocol when walking dogs. I will only board dogs when i do not have a foster dog.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve trained hunting dogs and worked with service dogs, so I’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy working breeds to senior dogs that need a little extra care. I am CPR trained and take safety very seriously. My property offers 45 acres of space for exercise, fresh air, and supervised play. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure their routine, feeding schedule, and comfort needs are followed closely. Whether your dog needs structure, activity, or just a safe and relaxing place to stay, they will receive dependable, attentive care while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I am home frequently and structure my day around feeding, exercise, to ensure dogs receive consistent attention and care. With plenty of outdoor space and a flexible schedule, I can provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and personalized care throughout the day. I also limit bookings so each dog gets the time and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment on 45 acres of property with plenty of room for exercise and fresh air. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, and I follow each pet’s normal feeding and care routine closely. I am experienced with all breeds, including high-energy and working dogs, and I am CPR trained. If needed, I can separate dogs, provide quiet rest areas, according to the owner’s preferences to ensure every dog feels safe and secure.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. My neighbors, family, and friends have all relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and play with their pets. I also have a dog of my own who I am responsible for taking care of. Every pet I have taken care of has received the best care possible. I am currently a full-time student. I only take 3 in-person classes and the rest are online so I have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule. It all depends on your pet's needs. No pet is the same so I will follow your pet's schedule. I will also take lots of pictures if you would like them of your happy pet doing their daily activies.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and have worked to broaden my knowledge and skills with several books as part of Cesar Millan’s Red Rover program. This was to help fix behavioral issues between all our pups throughout the years and learn more about them. I have been told I'm very empathic and have an eye for their needs in the moment. I'm never done learning about our furry friends and believe it's a lifelong practice. My routine varies on the season. During the cold months my schedule is wide open and I am happy and able to provide care as needed for you. Due to the nature of my current seasonal work schedule, the warm months are more limited, but I am happy to work with you on a schedule that makes sense for all of us. Depending on the season, the majority of our time will be spent in my house, but my backyard is fenced and the front yard is open. I also have a crate if your dog feels safe there too.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting on my own since I was about 15 and have had pets at my home since I was a child. I’ve always loved dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds! My summers always consist of staying at family and friends houses with their pets and my name has traveled through town as the pet sitter to go to if someone is going away. I’m very attentive and caring and will treat your pets as though they were my own. I work full-time, Monday-Friday, so I will be available to care for your pets before and after work (during will depend on location) and on weekends at any time. I had a family dog—a border collie, and I have 2 cats of my own. They get all the love and treats that you could imagine. I can adapt to whatever personality your pet may have — if they like space, that’s great, if they like all the attention in the world, then that’s what they’ll get!
About: Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing calm companionship. I also have basic dog training experience, including reinforcing simple commands, leash manners, and positive behavior using positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I understand that every pet is different — some need active play, while others need a quiet and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust and help dogs feel confident and comfortable. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to routines and behavior, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I always make time for animals and enjoy spending quality time with them. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive attention, care, and companionship without rushing. I provide a safe, calm, and positive environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, behavior, and comfort. I make sure all interactions are safe, positive, and beneficial. I respect routines, keep pets supervised, and focus on building trust through calm communication and gentle care.
“Miranda is excellent! I needed someone to take my dog out on short notice a couple days before, and she exceeded my expectations! Not only was she available and contacted me back quickly, but she followed all directions and even reached out to me during their walk to check in and make sure everything was okay. Miranda is trustworthy, honest, reliable, and you can tell she loves animals and what she does. Highly recommend!”

“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.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I adopted my first dog as an adult about 6 years ago, and have since raised three dogs and multiple cats. I am comfortable with large dogs (I own a 90 lbs black lab) as well as administering medications and management of high need dogs. I work from home, so while I am caring for your pets I have the flexibility to take them out whenever they need and make sure they are enriched and cared for. I have a fairly flexible work from home job, so while pet sitting I will be with your pets for the majority of the time. My own dogs are all high needs. I am experienced with reactive and anxious dogs, and have worked through significant behavioral concerns within my own pack. Let me know what your pets need to feel safe and comfortable!
About: I have owned animals my entire life from cats, lizards to dogs and horses. I worked at a kennel in my high school years taking care of dogs and assisting the owner in grooming. Going on from that I worked in a dog daycare alongside a fear free trainer whilst training my own dog, Lacey who is now 7, doing agility, obedience and other extensive training. Upon graduating I was given the opportunity to train and work alongside a groomer in her own shop, while I did my time with her we also attended groom expo where I took numerous classes including fear free grooming, control and handling, and creative grooming. Due to back issues I stepped away from the grooming scene and into ridding horses. I wonder my own horse for several years, I took a job opportunity with Letchworth Farms caring for both world class eventing horses as well as our trail horses. My time was ended there after a few years due to me becoming a mother to two beautiful kids and from time to time I have worked alongside a local cat shelter assisting in rescues and fostering and also helping foster and rescue dogs from time to time. I also have experience with caring for senior dogs with special needs. I have a very flexible working schedule to be able to accommodate your needs and your dogs at any time! I also am currently enrolled in Animal behavior and Canine training, a knowledgeable care giver is a great one! I am here for all your pet needs! I have one friendly cat who is vaccinated, fixed and is acclimated with dogs extremely well. I have a 7 year old fixed female who is good with other dogs and would rather spend her days lounging and relaxing.
“Vicki was a great! This is the first time we've used Rover and Vicki did not disappoint. She responded within 5 mins of my request and was so accommodating. She popped over to our vacation rental and spent a good 30 minutes meeting us and our dog. She was super responsible and took great care of our pup. I would HIGHLY recommend Vicki! She was AWESOME!”
“Kevin was the primary care giver. He was helping me care for my husky with a wound. Kevin was patient and gentle with my dog. I was unsure how to get her foot soaked for 15 minutes twice a day. I am disabled and the vets office wasn't giving me any good advice. He showed me how to get her into the tub and keep her there for 15 minutes without over stressing her. He was very impressive. He obviously loves animals,and has a talent to calm them.”
“Alison is a life saver! We as a family have been struggling on keeping Teddy with my aging parents and she has stepped in with great services to help Teddy at home with his parents!”
“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!!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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 😬”
“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.”
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.
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Kathleen and Brian were fantastic!! They provided daily updates on how my dog was doing. They really care about the dogs they are watching and it is very evident. If I need my dog to be watched again I will gladly be requesting their services.”
“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”
“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!”
