Personalized care for your dog or cat - Middlesex
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Middlesex
“Kate was an absolutely amazing caregiver for my Westie! She was quick to respond to communication and I felt completely at ease at drop off. The large, fenced-in yard is such a great space and the home and areas where the pets are kept is clean and tidy. Pictures were sent throughout his stay and I’ve already booked her again! So happy to have found Kate!”
“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“Both Kimberly and Chris were very easy to make arrangements with, and their two happy dogs are a great reference! I had peace of mind leaving Murphy there, and the photos Kimberly sent of the dogs hanging out were great. They are nice people that love animals and I think Murphy had a great time with them. They were also really accommodating in terms of working with our plans/needs, which was so helpful. ”
“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life. Many in different shapes and sizes. My last fur baby was my baby before babies and I have experience with obedience training and good citizen training. I am missing the pitter patter of paws in my home and would love to spoil your sweetie! I am currently home full time. I have three children that are 5 and under. I would love to spoil your baby in my caring home. I have a large yard and two story house with a fenced in gated deck for fresh air. I am very active and love walks and hikes!
“Amazing with our pups. Respectful of our requests. Our one dog recently had surgery and Dianna and Matthew were great with him and his needs. You also get great photos. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“Highly recommend! Jeffery watched our two dogs while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. He is very friendly and responsive, sent us daily updates with pictures and even made his own homemade dog treats. Our dogs got a ton of outside time and exercise while they got to play with other animals all week. It was clear they received lots of love and attention, and we will definitely be asking Jeffery to watch the pups again next time we're away.”
“Another fun stay for Snoopy. Since staying with Lourdes Snoop has built his confidence with new people and places and expanded his experiences. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Brittani provided wonderful care to our energetic doodle when we recently passed through town. She sent photos and it was clear that our dog felt very comfortable in her home. Thank you, Brittani!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
“Brian and Kathleen are wonderful!!! This was the first time Stevie stayed with them and I saw no signs of stress at all. They are loving people that you would be lucky to have for dog sitters💞”
“Carol was absolutely incredible. My little dog Munchkin is a momma’s boy who really struggles being away from me. But with Carol he settled in and was eating, playing, and relaxing. She sent pictures and updates each day to let me know how he was doing and that really put my mind at ease since I’ve never used Rover or left Munchkin with anyone outside of family before. Munchkin is a cavapoo, so his fur can get tangled pretty easily as well but Carol brushed him every day and he came home tangle-free which really shows the care she puts into the dogs she boards. She made sure he was well cared for and loved, and I 100% recommend her for anyone wanting to board their dog and will definitely book with her in the future. She even had me fill out additional info regarding Munchkin just so she knew more about him and the best way to care for him while I was away. She was truly the best dog sitter I could have imagined leaving my little guy with. If you are looking for someone to treat your dog as their own, then Carol is definitely the way to go!”
“Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Daisy. I was worry-free on my trip as I received daily photos of Daisy playing, snoozing, and hanging out with Kim. Kim treated Daisy as her own and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their dog to stay while their away.”
“Sierra was wonderful with our dogs! She sent us daily pictures and updates which was absolutely perfect especially since I sometimes forgot to ask! But in every picture or even the one video our dogs were having a blast, she was so professional and nice! Would definitely rebook!!”
About: I’m a 33 year old retired dog groomer and ran large grooming salons in the Pittsburgh area as well as here in New York for a total of 10 years.

“This was my first time using a stranger to care for my pets. Rover.com did not disappoint tho! Corey is so nice and was VERY good at communicating with me before her visit with my kitty, Butters. She checked in when she got there, and then sent me pictures of Butters in good health and looking very happy. Butters says Corey is great at playing and petting! I say Corey is professional yet friendly, and extremely accommodating with me getting keys to and from her. I will be using her again and highly recommend her.”
“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”
“Our second time booking with Maria and we’re just as happy! She’s reliable and keeps very good communication on everything. Our shy guy is starting to get used to her too, which is awesome she takes the time to build on that. Next time we’re gone I will gladly book with her again! She’s great!”
About: I've had cats my whole life, and have always been very fond of them. I got 2 of my own over the past couple years (shoutout to the cat distribution system!) Having the first come to me as a sick kitten gave me hands on experience with administering oral medications (antibiotics and some pain pills) and eye ointment. The second gave me hands on experience with having an orange cat (if you know, you know.) If I'm not going on a trip with my immediate family, I'm usually the one they'll call to do check ins.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats from a young age and am currently have a dog which I adopted from Syracuse! He gets multiple daily walks and weekend adventures. Growing up, I had a dog with diabetes and I had to administer his insulin. I am well versed in animal care for dogs, cats, and some farm animals like sheep and horses. I am a high school social studies teacher currently home for summer break. Although I am teaching summer school, I am available for my services in the early morning before 6:30 and in the afternoons and evenings. My dog is treated to multiple walks per day in addition to weekend hikes and adventures! My fiancé and I are mindful of what treats and foods are healthy for dogs and take great care in making sure our dog has a good diet and overall health.
About: Our pets are family, and it can be scary sometimes when you don't know who is caring for them while you're gone. Under my care, I treat every fur baby like they were my fur baby. I grew up living with dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Pit Bull, which taught me how to communicate and care for dogs of all sizes and dogs breeds with separation anxiety. I'm pretty active and am currently training for the NYC 2022 Marathon, so I love to run/walk with my dog Casper. About a year ago, Casper and I moved in with my partner Victor and his 2 cats, Jewel & Scarlett, in Rushville, New York. Initially, we were nervous about introducing them so we started slow by keeping them in separate rooms with a gate. Once they became more comfortable and curious about each other (more on the cats end), we took the gate down after a couple days. It was a seamless living transition if there ever was one. Now all 3 love hanging out on the play mat together with their toys or taking naps nearby each other. We're looking for more furry friends to keep them company and to nap together! Our house is quite spacious with a large open living and family room for lots of play time and nap time. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for dogs and cats. Our house has a huge front & backyard (not fenced) to run around on leash. When it snows, we love making dog trails around our property because what dog doesn't love to run in the snow! And I'm very experienced in putting on dog boots if needed. Lastly, we are a 15-20 minute walk to Canandaigua Lake, and live 3 minutes from Bare Hill. Currently, Victor and I are started a small business that will be launching this Spring. We work from home Monday-Friday and make our own hours so we are flexible. And I'm available on the weekends and any last minute bookings. Before any booking, I would like to set up a Meet & Greet to learn what I need to best care for your fur baby(ies) and to make sure Casper and your dog(s) get along (Doggy Day Care). The dates I'm currently unavailable are July 8-24, 2022 and Sept 1-5, 2022. My Home: spacious living and family rooms for dogs to run around, a play mat area with toys, and plenty of space to bring your dog's bed so he/she feels comfortable and at home. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for both dogs and cats. Outside, we have a huge front and backyard, although it is not fenced, still a lot of space to run around on leash. And if your dog loves to run, he/she is welcomed to join our running pack. We're a 15-20 min walk to Canandaigua Lake, and a 3 minute drive to Bare Hill Unique Area. Your Home: I will request a Meet & Greet before booking, and would like to do an initial house visit to learn where the pet food, toys and cleaning supplies are located. Along with learning if your pet has any special needs like medication. I will be a respectful guest in your home and make sure your fur baby(ies) are loved and cared for while you are away.
“Amazing!! Our dog looks forward to her visits and we know he is in good hands. Keeps communication open and goes above expectations while caring for our dog. Would highly recommend”
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and reliability I bring to every visit. I don’t treat pet sitting as a quick check in. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my care to what makes them feel most comfortable.
About: Note: 98% of my business is private clients because Rover does not send me much business. My prices reflect my time with your loved pets and we hope that you would pay us more than your cleaning lady/man because your fur kids are of most important to you. Right? I am booked probably 1/2-3/4 of the month on my own but I would love to help you thru Rover. My prices reflect my service and need to charge an amount which Rover will take 20% of my fee. Why you should pick me as your preferred petsitter: I am responsible. Love Pets and your pet(s) are where they belong - in your/their home - unless I am hosting your pet(s). I administer oral and injectable medication to pets as you prescribe. Dogs, cats, fish and birds love me. I stay because it is good for your pets too and I don't want to drive to your home everytime I feed your pet. I save you time by not having to drive to the dogggy/pet hotel. If you need more info, please let me know - plenty of references. Every client hires me again. Note: If you lie about the number of pets and kind in your home, I think that honesty is the best policy if you want my help and I want you to be honest with Rover and since I will be in your home. We need mutual respect. Hiring me is not about saving money, it is about keeping your pet in a familiar and happy environment. My first interview is by phone before I come to your house. Please send me your phone number upon request of my services plus your cross streets and zip code. I send pics if your wifi is working. Please let me know how often you want pics emailed to you. Please note: Pet Day Care: 8 hour sessions but you get a discount for a 4 hours request. * (e.g. for pets who are infermed, are escape artists, pets with anxiety issues etc) or you just want them to have company. I sometimes send pics from my phone and not ROVER app so my photo rate is lower than expected. On Christmas week - I may be hosting at a second home. Housesitting is an evening service to for me: My evening rate starts with the evening meal sometime after 6 pm and ends with the serving of breakfast dependent upon my schedule. If you want need more services or hours let me know and the cost will increase*. Housitting means that I am coming to your home to petsit vs you boarding your pet at my home. It means that I go in and out of your home based upon my schedule. If you want a midday walk or specify times of service, there is an extra visit fee which will be added. Likewise, an early arrival before dinner/service after I serve breakfast should be booked as a stop in or midday visit or additional day. Ask, if this is not clear. Your home should be clean including bed sheets and a towel for me. Please make sure your stove and oven are free of anything that can cause a fire or melt with heat. My fee does not include cleaning or snowplowing/shoveling of snow. Please make appropriate arrangements before and during my stay for snow removal. I am available for morning and night meals along with sleeping over. I would go in and out of the house like a normal pet parent. But, if you want service outside the serving of the evening/morning meal/overnight stay, then please add a walk/visit request to the pricing agreed to on Rover. My visit time depends on the day requested. Periodic Potty Break/walk. care for pet in my lower part of my home. serving of Meals provided by pet owner. Visiting with the pet and talking with the Pet.

I can give your pets all the snuggles and walks they need to be happy
“Jahlea was very professional and took good care of my puppy who is still potty training and learning manners. Jahlea made sure she was taken care of and keeps me updated about her progress.”
About: I’m very caring, vegan, and compassionate. I have watched animals for friends for 5+years. I love to help whenever anyone needs me to be there. I am reliable. I currently work 4 days a week full time, I do school from home. That may sounds like a lot but I have a pretty open schedule. Will not get in the way.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Middlesex
About: I have raised and cared for my families dogs as well as my own personal pets since I was a child. From puppy days to senior life, I have experienced it all and have enjoyed every moment of it. For me, having dogs around is a must! I currently work 4 days a week at a brewery in Rochester. I am available for walks and check-ins Tuesday/Wed all day, Thursday-Friday 8am-11am. Sunday's are open and negotiable as well! I enjoy spending time outside (park, trails, yard) with the active dogs, and talked to/petting the lazy/sleepy ones while they lounge inside. I live close to some wonderful parks, and enjoy throwing a ball around or just taking a stroll.
“We can’t believe our luck that we found Ema and her beautiful kids and family to take care of our Coco. We felt that Coco was in perfect care and that is immeasurable assurance is everything. Thank you dear Ema we’re so glad we found you!”

“Kate gave excellent care to my two dogs for two days and was super friendly, communicative and responsive. My dogs loved the fenced backyard and were very relaxed when I dropped them off and very chill when I picked them up, so they were obviously happy to be with Kate and family. I highly recommend Kate for dog-care in the Canandaigua area!”
“Margaret and her husband were the most amazing and kindest people we have ever met. They were both so caring and loving to our pup. We are eternally grateful for them. Both were so respectful, listened to all the instructions, and were extremely responsible for pup introductions. They have the kindest and most well behaved dogs. Bonus; they were so kind and considerate about ensuring my small pup’s boundaries, making sure they were being met, with slow introductions, and space to decompress!!! They are without a doubt the best dog people. They care, they love, and your pup(s) would be in the best hands ever. I’d I could give 1000 stars I would :)”
“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”

“If you're looking for the ultimate dog boarding experience, look no further than Jeffery! I can't express how relieved I was to find him when I faced an unexpected family emergency and needed a dog sitter for my beloved Coco. My initial hesitation about leaving my child with a stranger melted away the moment Jeffery responded to my request. From our first interaction, it was clear that Jeffery is not just a dog sitter; he’s a true dog whisperer! He took the time to explain his approach, making sure I felt comfortable with every detail of his care routine. His understanding of canine body language is impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing that Coco would be in good hands. One of the standout features of Jeffery's dog boarding service is the sheer amount of toys and stimulation he provides. Coco was surrounded by a variety of engaging activities that kept him mentally and physically active. Whether it was playing fetch, exploring new toys, or making new furry friends, she was constantly entertained! Throughout her stay, Jeffery kept the lines of communication open, sending me regular updates, photos, and videos of Coco having a blast! It was heartwarming to see her so happy and engaged. His dedication to ensuring that every dog feels at home shines through in everything he does. If you're considering dog boarding or daycare, I HIGHLY recommend booking Jeffery. Your pup will not only be well cared for but will also have an adventure filled with fun and stimulation! I can’t thank Jeffery enough for his exceptional service, and I’ll definitely be returning whenever I need a dog sitter. Your dog will love it, just like Coco did! 🐾❤️”
“Alison is the best! We used her for daycare and my dog was so happy she didn’t want to leave. Alison clearly loves dogs and treated Beasley like her own. She came home tired and happy and we will definitely be using Alison in the future!”
“Tim and Kathy always take awesome care of my "kids" . They love hanging out with Bailey and his parents. We will miss them all when we make our move to West Virginia. Thank you so much!”
About: My dogs and I are ready to watch and play with your pets! We love meeting new friends and are more than happy to accommodate you. I'm currently working from home and am generally home all throughout the day to play with and hang out with your pets. If I have an errand to run, I can always let you know ahead of time. We have a fenced in area for the dogs to play and splash if they want! If I do leave the house, I generally crate my dogs and would also crate your pet if you need. If the pet is fine to be out and unsupervised, that is fine too.
“Dianna was amazing at communicating and share photos of my pup while at her place. Their home is perfect for dogs to run around at while your busy hiking or visiting the area.”
About: I have a German Shepherd and walk him every night around Canandaigua. He loves adventures and it is quite clear that dogs love to travel. I love to make sure they are having fun and are being stimulated. Dogs are so smart. It is fun to interact and treat them like friends. I am available all the time and have experience taking my neighbor's dogs out once a day as she was away at work. This was a truly fun experience and has compelled me to seek out more opportunities like that. I wish to meet more dogs and like-minded people who appreciate how dogs provide unconditional love whether you are having a good day or a bad one. Endlessly, they love. It is beautiful.
About: As a pet parent of 23 years I understand how much joy our fur friends bring us. Unfortunately sometimes our day to day life prevents us from giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Please allow me to become part of your pals routine. You won’t regret it. I have taken joy in walking, snuggling, feeding, and caring for my pets over the years. I enjoy being outside and walking daily and I would love new company! With your permission I can take your dogs to some of my favorite walking spots in the area. Work with me and you will see for yourself my punctuality, enthusiasm and commitment to keeping your fur baby happy and healthy. Feel free to message me anytime during the service for your pet pics, updates, and any other information. Whenever you need me give me a call! I’m currently working from home via computer so I have very flexible availability. However I am a mom so if you request a overnight stay I would have to bring her with me. Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. At home my furry friends are kept in our fenced in yard and on the leash on walks. I would keep the same commit to your dogs.
“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.”
“We were visiting the Rochester area and needed someone to watch our labs for a couple hours - Kerrie was so flexible, responsive, and overall wonderful with our two very active and enthusiastic labs. If we’re ever in the area again, I know who we’ll be contacting if we need someone to watch our pups!”
“Dixie was super sweet and is a lovely sitter! Our two big girls looked like they had a really good time! Dixie also give us some news during the day for us to know everything was doing great ? Would really recommend her!! ?”
About: I worked for a pet hotel for 5 years taking care of dogs and cats. This included doggy day camp (playtime), feeding, cleaning, and giving meds if needed. I handled exotic animals with two different wildlife education programs! As a pet mom myself I am no stranger to what an animal needs. It doesnt just fit into my schedule it is my schedule. I have 3 wonderful cat babies and a senior dog who are my life. I love to take walks and run around so dogs love me. I understand that animals need more than the basics of food and water, they also need love and attention, as well as lots of play time!

About: Our family loves animals. It’s evident when you drive up to our house and see the goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. We have lots of experience with lots of animals, at all stages of life and with administering medications. Now that the kids are all in school. I have extra time to spend with my 4 legged babies and yours. We enjoy hiking, long and/or short walks around Canandaigua. I am a responsible and respectful professional. I will take care of your pet and home as if it were my own. I want to earn your trust and loyalty.
“As usual, Elizabeth was absolute magic with my two dogs. She has incredible empathy, and the dogs adore her. She also goes above and beyond to keep my house in immaculate condition. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I’ve had dogs in the family my entire life. My parents currently have 3 Lab/Australian Shepard mixes that I care for often. I’ve also dog sat for multiple friends on several occasions and loved every minute of it! I’m currently working full time at home. My apartment complex is pet friendly and has it’s own dog park that I can access. My 1200 sq ft apartment provides ample room for running space and my schedule allows for me to provide as much attention as needed to your pet! I’m happy to provide all the cuddles or ball throwing your pet may want! Just let me know what works best for you and your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats from a young age and am currently have a dog which I adopted from Syracuse! He gets multiple daily walks and weekend adventures. Growing up, I had a dog with diabetes and I had to administer his insulin. I am well versed in animal care for dogs, cats, and some farm animals like sheep and horses. I am a high school social studies teacher currently home for summer break. Although I am teaching summer school, I am available for my services in the early morning before 6:30 and in the afternoons and evenings. My dog is treated to multiple walks per day in addition to weekend hikes and adventures! My fiancé and I are mindful of what treats and foods are healthy for dogs and take great care in making sure our dog has a good diet and overall health.
About: I have always had a love for animals since I can remember. I rescued and rehabbed two feral kittens that were living under a dumpster to my own rescued pup. I have had guest dogs in my home from tiny to extra large. They always received the same care as my own dog from sleeping in bed with us to plenty of walks and outdoor time. They will be in great, responsible hands with me! I currently have my own business so I make my schedule. I can be flexible with days of the week and times even with last minute notice. I always ensure the pets are secure via leash before leaving the home to go for walks or when they are "in" for the day (crates, baby gate - no matter their set up). I also gather all the information about the animal - any reactions to certain situations, recall cues etc prior to visits.
“I recommend Christian without reservation. He is extremely responsible, professional, and responsive...and most importantly kind and attentive to the needs and sensitivities of my dog. He is exceptional, and I will continue to trust him with my dog for weekly walks and more!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13. I walk mine and my sisters dogs frequently. I have done overnights with dogs. I let dogs out during the day and feed them for meal times. I am a nursing student at Hartwick college and can easily work about my schedule to take care of pets. I am unavailable on Thursdays, but every other day works depending on my schedule. In my clients home I use any equipment that they recommend and use. I have taken dogs for rides in my car and roll the windows down for them to see out.
“Matthew is a great addition to Rover. He kept us informed before and after. Porter was happy when we got home. We were so relieved to know Matthew was caring for Porter. He was sure to ask us if we had any special instructions. We will use Matthew again for sure.”
About: Hello!

“Kate was an absolutely amazing caregiver for my Westie! She was quick to respond to communication and I felt completely at ease at drop off. The large, fenced-in yard is such a great space and the home and areas where the pets are kept is clean and tidy. Pictures were sent throughout his stay and I’ve already booked her again! So happy to have found Kate!”
“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“Both Kimberly and Chris were very easy to make arrangements with, and their two happy dogs are a great reference! I had peace of mind leaving Murphy there, and the photos Kimberly sent of the dogs hanging out were great. They are nice people that love animals and I think Murphy had a great time with them. They were also really accommodating in terms of working with our plans/needs, which was so helpful. ”
“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life. Many in different shapes and sizes. My last fur baby was my baby before babies and I have experience with obedience training and good citizen training. I am missing the pitter patter of paws in my home and would love to spoil your sweetie! I am currently home full time. I have three children that are 5 and under. I would love to spoil your baby in my caring home. I have a large yard and two story house with a fenced in gated deck for fresh air. I am very active and love walks and hikes!
“Amazing with our pups. Respectful of our requests. Our one dog recently had surgery and Dianna and Matthew were great with him and his needs. You also get great photos. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“Highly recommend! Jeffery watched our two dogs while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. He is very friendly and responsive, sent us daily updates with pictures and even made his own homemade dog treats. Our dogs got a ton of outside time and exercise while they got to play with other animals all week. It was clear they received lots of love and attention, and we will definitely be asking Jeffery to watch the pups again next time we're away.”
“Brittani provided wonderful care to our energetic doodle when we recently passed through town. She sent photos and it was clear that our dog felt very comfortable in her home. Thank you, Brittani!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
“Brian and Kathleen are wonderful!!! This was the first time Stevie stayed with them and I saw no signs of stress at all. They are loving people that you would be lucky to have for dog sitters💞”
“Sierra was wonderful with our dogs! She sent us daily pictures and updates which was absolutely perfect especially since I sometimes forgot to ask! But in every picture or even the one video our dogs were having a blast, she was so professional and nice! Would definitely rebook!!”
