Personalized care for your dog or cat - Riverhead
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Riverhead
“This past weekend we went away last minute, after looking unsuccessfully for someone to board our dog Holly based on a friend's recommendation. We were out of luck. I then checked out Rover and found Julie, thank goodness she was available at such short notice. Making plans and arrangements were seamless, you could tell she loves dogs (all animals) and would enjoy taking care of our Holly. Julie was 100% flexible with drop-off and pickup times, followed all our instructions for Holly. Julie sent regular pictures or communication of how the day was going, which I appreciated tremendously because Holly is a puppy and we haven't been away from her since we got her. Holly seemed to enjoy herself, she got to play with 2 other dogs and she even met Julie's cats and they all got along wonderfully. I think we found our regular person for taking care of Holly in the future. Thank you again so much.”
“Britanny took care of our 12year old french bulldog Izzy. She was fantastic and we believe Izzy was having fun with the family and other dogs. Britanny took the time to send us pictures while we were away and update us on her stay. We will definitely be booking with Britanny again.”
“Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!”
“Cindy is so great with Hendrix! This is my second time leaving him with her and she’s wonderful. I get many photo updates throughout the day and he always looks like he’s happy and having fun!”
“Cassandra has watched my dog, Rosie, several times now over the past few years and I count myself lucky to have found her! Cassandra is very communicative and accommodating. She sends pictures and updates throughout the booking and Rosie always comes back happy and without any issues.”
“John is amazing my Moses fit right in and I knew he was well taken care of . Not one time did I have to ask for pics or updates, John was on point with that. My Moses stayed with John over 2 weeks and I have booked him again. John gave meds to Moses ear and eyes and did great. I highly recommend John as he will give your pet plenty of attention and peace of mind!!!”
“As soon as I met Melissa I knew my pup would be in good hands. Melissa has a very kind and chill energy, she seemed like someone I would actually be friends with! She has her own pup, about the same size as mine and they became fast friends. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with Melissa. If you’re looking for someone to watch your pup in her area, you shouldn’t hesitate to use Melissa!”
“Luna stayed with Antonia for the second time. She likes her a lot and her dog and cat. Will keep booking with Antonia when we need a caring, sweet and attentive sitter. I know Luna is in good hands when she goes to Antonia.”
“Mickey had a great time at Melissa's home. I think he was sad to come home without his friends. I will definitely reach out to Melissa the next time we need a sitter for Mickey!”
“Christine was absolutely amazing!! I wish I could give more stars!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my 16 1/2 year old dog with anyone and I can’t say enough great things about her!! She knew I was nervous and she gave me so many updates and videos daily!! But most of all gave my dog all the love and care anyone could ask for!! I am so happy we found her and will definitely use her again!! Thank you!”
“Patrycja was great! She walked Oshie frequently and sent photos daily. When I arrived, Oshie was glad to see me, but also acted like he would have gladly gone back inside her house if I had let him 😂. I highly recommend Patrycja and will use her again if needed!”
“So behind in writing these reviews, and just left a more detailed review on our second stay with Jeff, but wanted to leave a 5 star here as well. Jeff is knowledgeable and kind and clearly loves dogs. He has been a wonderful find for us here on Rover, and we are so grateful to have him for our pup free getaways.”
“Petunia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‘S Carlos Andrés. I wish you all could see how she runs to him when we drop her off. It is so sweet. They have a genuine love for each other. Best sitter EVER!”
“Korin took wonderful care of my cat, Rajah, for five days while I was away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly cared about Rajah's well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. Korin was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Rajah was comfortable and well cared for. I would not hesitate to trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Matthew & Kristin were just incredible with our Berner Bentley! They took him in as if he were their own, as did their two beautiful dogs. The daily updates with pictures and videos made us smile and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bentley was clearly on vacation too! It was evident when we picked him up that he had had a blast, he even searched all the rooms in our house trying to find his new friends once we returned home. We will definitely be reaching out to Matthew & Kristin again the next time we need a sitter for Bentley. We can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of him!”
“Maria was amazing! From day 1, she was attentive and had open communication with us about Stella and Hunters' progress. She facilitated a comfortable and fun environment, and we were pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend Maria and would work with her in the future”
“Leo had a great time with Lorena. Lorena has no problems giving him all his medication. He enjoyed his time with Lorena and got to sleep in her bedroom and take fun walks and dance to Spanish music. I received many pictures and videos during Leo’s time with Lorena.”
“Stephanie was great. She took Moo on lots of walks, had toys and bed for her, and even a friend to play with. She was very communicative and I would definitely book her again if I ever need a sitter.”
“Marla is so sweet and was such a great host for our fur babies! She was super easy to communicate with and even sent us video updates while we were away! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She was calm and caring with our dog, Finnegan. She made him feel at home and provided us updates on how he was doing. Finnegan was so excited to go back a few days later.”

“He was really excellent! He took wonderful care of my diabetic cat, who requires insulin and was very attendant on sending me pictures of my baby. Will definitely be using him again!!!”
“Risa did a wonderful job. We have 2 rambunctious pups and she kept them occupied for the entire drop in. She showed up at the designated time, submitted pics, and let me know how they were doing. I'd recommend her to anyone who is concerned or hesitant about hiring a dog sitter!”
About: I've had cats my entire life, so I'm very comfortable caring for their unique personalities and daily routines. I've also cat sat for family members and understand the importance of keeping cats comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, cleaning the litter box, playing, or simply providing companionship, I'll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Stephanie is amazing! She is very reliable and always comes in with a great attitude. I would trust her with all my pets and she really helped us out when work schedules are crazy and I work late at night.”
“Hanna did an amazing job taking care of my cat Pepper! She was prompt, checked in with me several times and Pepper seemed very happy when I came home-would definitely recommend her.”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, I bring genuine love and seasoned knowledge to every feline I look after. I’ve raised four cats from playful kittens to wise seniors and take great pride in the exceptional care I provided to my two beloved Manx cats — a breed known for their unique needs and quirks. Whether your cat is energetic, shy, demanding, or delicate, I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like family.
About: Throughout my life I have had the opportunity to own many cats, they are unparalleled life companions, protectors of the home and it is my pleasure to offer my experience to care for them from my home or in their home respectively.
“Noelle had done a beautiful job caring for our puppy while we’re away at work. Daisy likes her so much, and when we come home after Noelle has visited, she seems to have extra pep in her step. Thrilled to have found her. Thank you so much for your care!”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I watch dogs for my family and friends when they go away. I walk, feed, and play with their pets. I work part time, three days a week until 4 pm. I can walk dogs after work or any other day. I am available on the weekends. I currently do not accept boarding requests. When I am caring for dogs in their home I give them lots of love and attention and play. I take them on walks as needed or determined by their physical abilities. I am attentive and here to give your pet companionship!
About: Hi I'm Ally! I grew up surrounded by dogs and my love for them has only grown over the years! I currently have two at home, Luna, a 10-year-old rescue terrier mix, and Tobi, a 6-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi. Altogether my extended family includes 6 dogs, 2 cats, and a few chickens. (You should see our house at Christmas!) I have lots of experience with both small and large dogs but I love all shapes and sizes. Playtime is a big deal at my house, but rest and relaxation are a must too. Cuddling is my absolute favorite thing! I love helping others, especially when they're dogs. I found Rover through my sister and sister-in-law, who have watched dogs themselves, so I've learned the ropes through their experiences. I'm currently working part-time and heading back to school soon. My schedule may shift once the semester starts, but I'll keep my calendar updated! As of right now my schedule is pretty open and I can provide care all weekdays, but weekends are a little tougher (but if really needed I can always try to move things around). My top priority is making sure you and your pets know they're in safe, loving hands. Bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, and plenty of cuddles are always part of the routine. And if you're comfortable with it, my dog Tobi loves meeting new friends so we can always swing by for some playtime!

“Julie was wonderful with Theo. She bonded with him right away and he was excited to see her each day. Julie is very communicative and very loving. She was also incredibly flexible with my timing. Thank you so much Julie! Highly recommend.”
About: Hello, pet parents! my name is Dawn and I am a life long animal lover. Whether your dog has boundless energy for walks and playing or prefers cuddles on a lap I treat every animal like my own. I am highly reliable and experienced with senior care and I am able to administer medication. I always provide photo updates so can have peace of mind while away. I would love an opportunity to care for your furry family member. Send me a message and set up a free meet and greet!! We welcome small dogs that would be compatible with our 2 little fur babies. We start the day with cuddles, breakfast and then walks around our neighborhood and play time on our deck. I am retired and home to make sure every need your fur baby has is met! Our house is very dog friendly and the pups have stair access to the couch and can sleep on our bed. We have a small home in a dog friendly community. We do not have a fenced yard but provide several walks and play time on our large gated deck. Inside is a safe environment with lots of toys and comfy places to rest.
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! We stayed over Fourth of July weekend while we were in town for a wedding, and she made our experience so welcoming from start to finish. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure our pup was well cared for. Traveling with a dog can sometimes be stressful, but Cindy made us feel completely at ease and was so kind and accommodating. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, communicates well, and truly cares about your dog, I can’t recommend Cindy enough.”
“Angie was an amazing dog sitter! She was so flexible and accommodating with my last minute request, and she kept me updated with great photos and messages throughout the stay. Most importantly, my puppy had a wonderful time and was so well cared for. I highly recommend Angie!”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren, and I’m a responsible, caring, and reliable pet lover. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do work a few hostess shifts during the week, but they’re only for a few hours, so I have a flexible schedule. Afternoons work best, but I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a very clean, pet-friendly home with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention and a calm environment to relax in. I love spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, giving cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll send lots of cute photo updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. I also keep treats on hand (if approved by you!), and if an emergency ever came up, I have a trusted veterinarian just down the road for added peace of mind.
“My separation anxious pandemic pup had a great time with Melissa and her family. He was excited to go back the next day too! She was so flexible with scheduling. Her dog was so friendly and well socialized and welcomed mine into his pack with ease.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I'm surrounded by them every day. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rats and more. Every dog I've owned has been personally trained by me, giving me hands-on experience with behavior, structure, and individualized care. I live on a small farm and work from home, so I'm available throughout the day for animal's needs. Caring for horses, dogs, and cats is already a part of my daily routine, making pet care a natural part of my lifestyle. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can provide companionship for social dogs. I'm experienced in safely managing separate spaces if a dog prefers to be alone of is not dog-friendly, ensuring every pet gets plenty of personalized care, attention, and outdoor time.
“This was my first experience with Rover and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Christine! The genuine care and attention she had for my puppy put me at ease instantly. She sent photos and videos and updates and was always quickly responsive. I would absolutely recommend Christine!”
“Jerol and Jeffrey took great care of my pups. Everyday the pups were excited to go and reluctant to leave. The enclosed back yard, walks, attention given met all my expectations. I cannot say enough good things about the experience! I highly recommend them and am looking forward for another doggie day care!!!”
“Our first time leaving our fur-daughter with Carlos Andrés and Natalia and I think we have found her second family. They sent pics throughout the day of Natalia walking her, and pics of her taking a nap on Carlos Andrés. They seem to be awesome caretakers and we will be hiring them as often as we can. Thank you!”
“When Sammy typically comes home from a sitter, he is withdrawn for a day or so. Not so this time! Sammy must’ve had a wonderful time with Melissa because he came home happy and playful. Thank you, Melissa for showing Sammy such a good time and welcoming him into your home! And thank you for sending pictures. The next time I need someone to watch him I will feel very comfortable dropping him off with Melissa.”
About: Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.
“From the moment we dropped Nessa off until the time we picked her up, we were pleasantly surprised by how completely at home she felt with Marla. Normally, Nessa is very apprehensive when meeting new people, new animals, or even visiting a new place. But from the moment Marla opened the door, our normally shy and hesitant little girl ran right into the house to greet Marla and all of her pets. To say my husband and I were shocked would be an understatement! Watching Nessa happily run off to play filled this mom and dad with so much joy. While we were attending our niece’s wedding, we kept checking our phones, fully expecting a call or text saying Nessa was crying or looking for us. That message never came—because she was apparently having the time of her life! When we returned to pick her up, Nessa was excited to show us all of her new friends. It was obvious she had been well cared for and truly enjoyed her stay. We could tell that Marla treated Nessa as if she were one of her own, and there is no greater compliment we could give. We only wish Marla lived in Connecticut instead of New York. Finding someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pet as though they were part of their own family is incredibly rare, and we would trust her with Nessa again in a heartbeat.”
“Alana and family were great hosts for our little Xena. They treated her like family and took care of her without any issue. They have an adorable doggy area, went on walks and cuddled a bunch! Xena was very happy :) thank you and can’t wait for our next stay!”
“I just picked up our puppy Milo and he’s was so happy to be there that he didn’t want to leave . Lol i’m so glad that he had a good time . I love that I was able to get a run down on how he was during the day it made me feel very confident that she was watching him and caring for him like we would at home . I will definitely be returning for any sitting needs.”
“Jessica was great with our beagle Paco. We had to cancel the original date we planned to leave him and she was very understanding. When we reached out again she was very quick to respond. I would leave Paco with Jessica again he was very happy when I picked him up. I’m very attached to Paco so it was amazing receiving pictures and videos of him knowing he was in great hands. Will definitely be leaving Paco again in the future”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
“Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!”
“CaraLynn was excellent with our two skittish Shetland Sheepdogs. She sent us pictures and updates of their activities and meals throughout the day, which made our time apart from them less stressful and worrisome. One of our dogs typically doesn't eat when placed in an unfamiliar environment, but he did so with CaraLynn. That is a positive reflection on her and how dogs respond to her. My wife and I recommend CaraLynn highly and would use her for dog-sitting services again in an instant.”

I love animals and I love working with them, and hopefully that will become my future career♥️ I take care of my dogs daily and I walk them everyday. I am currently a full time student at a college, so for the summer I will be available every day. But starting late August, I will be starting my 3rd semester so I will be only available on the weekend’s! I wash my dogs, I take them on long walks, I feed them, and they love to cuddle. They are now senior dogs, so they sleep more often, but they are given the love and care that they need!😊

About: Hi I'm Ally! I grew up surrounded by dogs and my love for them has only grown over the years! I currently have two at home, Luna, a 10-year-old rescue terrier mix, and Tobi, a 6-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi. Altogether my extended family includes 6 dogs, 2 cats, and a few chickens. (You should see our house at Christmas!) I have lots of experience with both small and large dogs but I love all shapes and sizes. Playtime is a big deal at my house, but rest and relaxation are a must too. Cuddling is my absolute favorite thing! I love helping others, especially when they're dogs. I found Rover through my sister and sister-in-law, who have watched dogs themselves, so I've learned the ropes through their experiences. I'm currently working part-time and heading back to school soon. My schedule may shift once the semester starts, but I'll keep my calendar updated! As of right now my schedule is pretty open and I can provide care all weekdays, but weekends are a little tougher (but if really needed I can always try to move things around). My top priority is making sure you and your pets know they're in safe, loving hands. Bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, and plenty of cuddles are always part of the routine. And if you're comfortable with it, my dog Tobi loves meeting new friends so we can always swing by for some playtime!
About: Hi there! I’m Jess, a college educated writer and pet sitter who loves puppers. I’ve been working with animals of all sorts since I was 6 years old and volunteered on a farm, and I have experience with every dog from chihuahua to mastiff (the mastiff was mine!). I honestly love dogs, and everyone always says I’m great with animals- so why not spend some time with dogs during my free time? I’m gentle with my approaches, and on top of pet sitting I am a nanny- so I can handle any situation thrown at me! I also have experience as a life guard and in CPR and First Aid. I’ve never had a complaint, and I purely believe that’s because I love dogs, cats, and animals in general. I have a dog and a lizard so I’m always feeding/playing with/walking/grooming/cuddling someone! My dog gizmo is very energetic and a little bit difficult, so I’m comfortable with those more challenging cases. I also know reptile and cat care, as I’ve owned cats, lizards, and snakes—I grew up on farms lol I walk gizmo 2-3 times a day, feed him twice, give him medication, and play for at least 30 mins. I also bathe him and clean him after our walks.

“Britanny took care of our 12year old french bulldog Izzy. She was fantastic and we believe Izzy was having fun with the family and other dogs. Britanny took the time to send us pictures while we were away and update us on her stay. We will definitely be booking with Britanny again.”
“Cindy is so great with Hendrix! This is my second time leaving him with her and she’s wonderful. I get many photo updates throughout the day and he always looks like he’s happy and having fun!”
“Luna stayed with Antonia for the second time. She likes her a lot and her dog and cat. Will keep booking with Antonia when we need a caring, sweet and attentive sitter. I know Luna is in good hands when she goes to Antonia.”
“Christine was absolutely amazing!! I wish I could give more stars!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my 16 1/2 year old dog with anyone and I can’t say enough great things about her!! She knew I was nervous and she gave me so many updates and videos daily!! But most of all gave my dog all the love and care anyone could ask for!! I am so happy we found her and will definitely use her again!! Thank you!”
“So behind in writing these reviews, and just left a more detailed review on our second stay with Jeff, but wanted to leave a 5 star here as well. Jeff is knowledgeable and kind and clearly loves dogs. He has been a wonderful find for us here on Rover, and we are so grateful to have him for our pup free getaways.”
“Petunia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‘S Carlos Andrés. I wish you all could see how she runs to him when we drop her off. It is so sweet. They have a genuine love for each other. Best sitter EVER!”
“Matthew & Kristin were just incredible with our Berner Bentley! They took him in as if he were their own, as did their two beautiful dogs. The daily updates with pictures and videos made us smile and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bentley was clearly on vacation too! It was evident when we picked him up that he had had a blast, he even searched all the rooms in our house trying to find his new friends once we returned home. We will definitely be reaching out to Matthew & Kristin again the next time we need a sitter for Bentley. We can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of him!”
“Maria was amazing! From day 1, she was attentive and had open communication with us about Stella and Hunters' progress. She facilitated a comfortable and fun environment, and we were pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend Maria and would work with her in the future”
“Leo had a great time with Lorena. Lorena has no problems giving him all his medication. He enjoyed his time with Lorena and got to sleep in her bedroom and take fun walks and dance to Spanish music. I received many pictures and videos during Leo’s time with Lorena.”
“Stephanie was great. She took Moo on lots of walks, had toys and bed for her, and even a friend to play with. She was very communicative and I would definitely book her again if I ever need a sitter.”
“Marla is so sweet and was such a great host for our fur babies! She was super easy to communicate with and even sent us video updates while we were away! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She was calm and caring with our dog, Finnegan. She made him feel at home and provided us updates on how he was doing. Finnegan was so excited to go back a few days later.”
“Anne-Marie and Steve are truly wonderful people with a genuine love for dogs. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby at their home, we felt at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They kept us updated regularly, reassuring us that he was safe, happy, and well-loved while we were away. Since our dog requires daily grooming and a bit of extra care, it meant the world to us to know he was in such attentive and capable hands. We deeply appreciate the love and dedication they showed, treating him as if he were their own. Thank you, Anne-Marie and Steve—we are so grateful!”
“Simply AMAZING!!! I'm sooo happy to have met this beautiful couple to watch my 2 pooches. They are friendly, kind, compassionate, and so caring for my pups. Updated me with many pictures and were very communicative. Will be using them again. I HIGHLY recommend”
“Eileen was a great host to our 6 year old chihuahua, Tilly. We received daily photos and messages from Eileen showing that Tilly clearly was looked after and cared for just like at home. We will definitely look to Eileen for future boarding.”
“Jared was such an incredible sitter for our dog Duke. He sent me updates and pictures every day, keeping me informed on what our dog was up to. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Jared, and would definitely book him again. Can’t thank him enough!”
“Great with our pup as always. Great updates/photos throughout the stay and always makes us feel at ease about dropping her off. Excellent communication and care. Thanks again!”
“My dog Gertie loves spending time at Brianna’s! Gertie is always happy and well cared for when I pick her up & I get updates during the stay. Brianna is great - definitely recommend!”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”
“Jessica was awesome from start to finish! My sweet Sadie (10 month old golden retriever) had never really been apart from me since 8 weeks! I had an emergency trip and Jessica made everything go SO smoothly. Just when my worries were rising she sent a short video of Sadie being pet and had the biggest dog smile ever. I was just boarding the plane and my nerves vanished. Thanks, Jessica and family for making Sadie feel right at home🥰”
