“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”
“Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Richelle was amazing with my puppy Kairo while I was away on my trip! She kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured the whole time. Kairo had such a great time with her, and that means everything to me because I do not just leave him with anyone. She was caring, trustworthy, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and Kairo will definitely be welcomed back into her hands again!”
“My dog had such a great time at awoo’s. He was very responsive. Every time I messaged along with pictures. My dog isn’t around a lot of people, but trusted him. She’s also been asleep since I got her back very exhausted because of her being able to be so active there I would definitely book him again and again and again.”
“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”
“Tenzin and her husband did a great job taking care of my almost 6 month old puppy who was away from me overnight for the first time. She sent pictures and sent updates that really helped ease my mind.”
“Our cat loved it with Emma and made herself right at home. She was great with pictures, notes, and even sent a little video. I'm excited to have someone I trust with Charlotte. Thank you to Emma and her lovely roommate.”
“We’ve been trying to find a great sitter for our dogs for a while. We finally found one!! Catherine and her family were the absolute best! One of the highlights of our vacation was the daily update (with pictures) from Catherine. Our dogs had a wonderful getaway at her house! Catherine, we cannot thank you and your family enough!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Amanda was great with Zephyr. Shortly after dropping my dog off she sent an update and then we received on every day and often with a picture. She also provided a furbo link for the periods that she was at work. I always felt my dog was in good, caring hands.”
“This was our first time booking with Monique and I will definitely book again. She was very flexible with our last minute changes. She sent several messages and pictures of Harley over the weekend. Monique was very attentive and caring.”
“Phelan took great care of Sadie and made her feel right at home! She's a great communicator and she sent us lots of updates and pictures of Sadie. We look forward to bringing Sadie over again!”
“Kimberly was very nice to my kittens. She sent me at least 2 pictures per day and updated me daily. For sure she will be my choice for future whenever I need to leave my cats in the future again.”
“Everything went wonderfully! I was worried about leaving Wednesday with her medical issues but Mikkal knew what he was doing and took great care of her! She seemed very happy and healthy when I picked her up and will gladly use his services again in the future should I need them.”
“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”

“Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!”
“Natasha is a great pet sitter!! She was wonderful with my shy cat and took excellent care of him, including getting him to take his medicine. I will gladly hire her again!”
“It’s rare to find someone who understands and cares for our cats -rescues and extremely shy-so well. She has an exceptional way of connecting with them, which was both heartwarming and made us feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Coming home to a tidy space and seeing our cats so relaxed was such a delight! we’ll definitely book her services again :)”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)”
“We tasked Larry with a last minute booking for our two kittens. He did amazing with them and followed all instructions. He was very respectful of our apartment as well. Will definitely book again!”
“Jenn was as good a sitter as you could ask for! She watched my moms cat Finn and stayed at the house for a little over a week. She sent us pictures and daily updates and she was great. We would absolutely use her again. Really, I just can''t say enough good things about her!”
About: I've always had a special connection with animals. Ever since I was a kid, they've seemed to trust and love me to the point even squirrels come right up to me! I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and I have so many fond memories of spending time on my grandparents' ranch in Montana. Now, I have two senior cats, who I adopted when they were 13 and are now 16. I pour all my love and care into them. If you're looking for a pet sitter who will treat your furry friends like family, I promise to give them all the love and attention they deserve:)
“Linda was great. She came over and met my kitties and me before the booking. When it came to her visit she went above and beyond and did things that I didn't even ask her like clean their litter. She showed up promptly and took really great photos. I would recommend her and I will rehire her!”
“I had a great experience with her while I was away on a business trip. She took excellent care of my cat, Sydney, and my fish, Phoenix. She spent plenty of quality time with Sydney, which really helped him feel comfortable and not abandoned while I was gone. If Sydney had one complaint, it would be that he always wants more attention. All requested tasks were handled to a high standard, including feeding my fish, cleaning the litter box, and making sure everything was in good order during her visits. She was respectful of my space, reliable, and followed all care instructions as discussed. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would be happy to have her watch my pets again in the future.”

“Meg is just wonderful! During our meet and greet, it was very clear that she has a way with animals. She took care of our 5 cats and even happily accommodated their different food preferences. Everything she did (rinsing out food cans, for example) was done thoughtfully. I would recommend Meg without reservation!”

“Mark & Sylva were great hosts for my dog when we needed a few hours of care while my son toured a nearby college. They were welcoming and kind and did a great job with her. I'd happily book again if we're in Troy in the future. Thank you!”
“Kania worked great with the new puppy of mine. Wattsin returned further developed each time for the few days of care he was consecutively dropped off for, along with excitement to see her and the family for each play date following. It was a pleasure working with not only caregivers as such, but genuine people... and doggies. Highly recommend! Could not thank them enough.”
“Our Hoagie had a great time with Monique and Ace. The dogs got alot of playtime and Hoagie got his snuggles from Monique. Great furbaby sitter and she sent pictures of there time together. Will be back for more playdates for sure.”
“Xena had a great time at doggy daycare with Kimberly. I’d highly recommend her. She kept in contact all day and sent photos and videos. Which is what any crazy dog mom needs! ??”
“MaryEllen was all I could have asked for and more to watch my little girl Nala! She was kind, easy to work with, responsive, and thoughtful! She went above and beyond to make Nala feel at home and welcome! I will absolutely ask her to watch Nala again!”

About: 🐾🏡 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner, trainer, and former kennel manager with experience caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities. My home is active and structured, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. I currently share my home with Border Collies, Labradors, and a few mixed breeds, and we’re active in dog sports like frisbee, obedience, and dock diving. Whether your dog is social or needs their own space, I can accommodate them — as long as they are people-friendly. I strive to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you have peace of mind. 🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect Safe, structured, and enriching days: Morning play/walks, breakfast, digest & rest breaks, afternoon activities, and evening wind-down. Large fenced backyard + indoor play area for all weather. Crate-based routine for meals, rest, and overnight for safety and comfort. Daily updates: Photos, videos, and notes so you stay connected. Personalized attention based on your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. 📍 Convenient Location Just 3 miles from Albany Airport Near I-87, I-90, and I-88 — perfect for travelers ✅ What I Provide Expansive fenced yard & indoor play space Wide collection of dog equipment (bring only collar, leash, and food) Experience with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and multiple breeds Knowledge of breed-specific needs, safety, and bloat prevention 📌 What I Need From You Vaccinations required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella Crate-trained dogs only What to bring: Collar, leash, and food (please no beds) Daycare: All daycare dogs require to ha e a m&g and a trial day before being able to book freely. Drop-Ins/House Sitting: Meet & Greet required. Keyless entries only, will not keep keys. 🗓 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning: 6:00–7:30 AM Evening: 6:00–7:30 PM No Saturday evenings or holiday exchanges Please specify a time to avoid overlap — residential area, so we keep things calm for neighbors and dogs 💬 Meet & Greets Recommended for all new clients Please schedule at least 2 weeks prior to your stay 📅 Routine & Peak Season Peak Season: May 1 – September 30 Structured routine: multiple outdoor sessions, playtime, meals with digestion breaks, rest periods — no free-for-all boarding ✨ Why Choose Me? I live and breathe dogs — training, sports, and overall enjoyment are my passion. Your pup will get safe, structured care, plenty of exercise, and personal attention while you get peace of mind and daily updates. We keep a very rigid structured routine. Our day starts between 6-7am, with initial let outs--group play if appropriate to get that morning energy out. Then we settle in for breakfast time, all dogs rest 30 minutes prior to meals, 30 minutes to eat, then followed by another 30-60 minutes to digest. This helps prevent bloat( while any size dog CAN bloat--most often occurs in larger/deep chested breeds, but I take no chances). We then are in and out throughout the rest of the day when dinner time commences between 5-6pm, repeating the same 30-30-30/60 routine. Last let outs and romps wrapping up around 10-11pm. I don't operate a free for all. Fully fenced in yard. Specifically zoned areas for potting and play. Daily house keeping services including vacuuming and daily crate wipe down and disinfection. Dogs are outside as much as we can be, under direct supervision weather permitting.

“Katie came through for me last minute and was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! I was in Albany for a family event and scrambling to find dog care after my original plans fell through. Thankfully, Katie was available and took great care of them for the day so I could enjoy time with my family stress-free. She was patient, attentive, and especially caring with my sweet 3-legged girl. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I’m very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Kenia is kind, flexible and communicative. The second day I brought my anxious rescue poodle to her, she sprinted up the steps and could NOT wait to get inside! Her warmth is unmatched and she brought me great comfort knowing my pup was in a safe, loving environment while I tended to family needs. Will definitely use Kenia again if I’m in the area, and highly recommend anyone in need use her too!!”

About: 🐾 I’m absolutely obsessed with cats—and honestly, that’s the biggest reason I’m here. Rover isn’t just a side thing for me… I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know all their unique personalities. At home, I care for three cats of my own, so I understand everything from playtime energy to quiet, independent moods. I’m also known locally as a stray cat feeder and caretaker, and I always keep cat food in my car—because you truly never know when a hungry kitty might need help. Caring for animals isn’t something I “turn on”—it’s just part of who I am every day. While cats are my specialty, I’ve recently been spending more time around dogs as well and have become increasingly comfortable and confident with them. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. When you trust me with your pet, you’re getting someone who is: ✔️ Reliable & responsive ✔️ Gentle, patient, and detail-oriented ✔️ Experienced with multiple-cat households ✔️ Truly passionate about animal care I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and close attention to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and able to travel, so feel free to reach out with whatever you need—I’m happy to make it work!! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Miles loved his stay with Anna! Travel is stressful for him and she not only got him to eat but exercised so he slept for the next leg of the trip. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”

“Jose has been amazing! It is very comforting to know that my boys are well cared for when I cannot be there. We were able to do a meet and greet before scheduling regular walks.

About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.
About: Hi, I am a mature and experienced pet owner. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and loved my own dogs (Rottweiler, Boxers, Jack Russell and Frenchton) while raising my children. I am unfortunately not able to have my own pets due to where I live. I have traveled for work, sporting events and vacations and know the stress of finding care for my pets where they will feel loved and be well taken care of. I want to offer peace of mind to others when they cannot take their furry family members with them when traveling. I work from home so I will be able to treat you pet like my own. I will be there in the morning, evening, and throughout the day. I can bring my work supplies to you home (reliable wifi is required) to work. I am unable to care for pets in my home. When caring for your pet in your home I will follow the instructions you provide. I enjoy playing and hanging out with cats and dogs but also know not all cats and dogs are the same. Through conversation with you I will learn how best to interact with your pet to ensure there is a great experience for all. The boxers in my picture were mine. They live long spoiled lives, with lots of love and play time. The fawn with the white face was hand-signal trained and if you know boxers, you know that takes patience. They both love people of all ages and were as goofy and as lovable as their boxer reputation.
“Rita was wonderful with my pup! It was great to meet her, and she went above and beyond with walking my dog while I was away. Long walks in Colonie park and socializing with other dogs (which my dog struggles with normally - yay!!). Will happily use her walking and boarding services again.”
About: My name is Loren and I grew up taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been working through Rover for 8 years since moving to the Capital region. I will stay over at your home, drop in visits, walks, trips to dog park, whatever you would like me to do! I am a very passionate, dedicated, trustworthy, and a responsible animal lover. I am a social worker by profession and love helping people and animals. I have volunteered helping animals at the shelter in the past. I believe in treating animals with kindness and love. I will be your best choice for a pet sitter and you can count on me to do the job and give your pet tons of love and snuggles. I currently work full time mon- fri. I can accommodate occasional before work visits or after work visits. I am most available on weekends. If I have advanced notice, I will be willing to take a day off to accommodate if possible. I treat them with the respect, kindness, and love they deserve. I follow the directions of what the pet owner asks of me. My cats are spoiled rotten and I will spoil your pets too if that is what you want.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. I have gone through 5 dogs growing up and have always been surrounded by the pets of friends and family! I’ve always loved every kind of animal, I believe the bond between a dog or cat and their human is truly unconditional. I’m eager to meet and care for more furry friends! I am a full-time hairstylist. Though I am scheduled for the same hours each week, sometimes I have slower weeks than others and my weeks are never always the same. I am looking for Rover as a side job to help me out during my slower days! I live in an Inlaw apartment under my mom‘s house. We have a fenced in backyard. I only have one cat in my apartment, and my mom has two dogs that are very friendly. We have a walking trail along a river across the street from our house!
About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants
About: Aside from growing up with dogs and cats since birth, I have 5 years of experience dog walking and sitting on another platform in different cities throughout the country! I specialize in high energy dogs, fast walkers, and dogs that pull. In addition, I am skilled in using different harnesses and handling dogs at any size. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my punctuality, a perfect star rating in past dog walking/sitting services, and being regarded as “Extra Caring” from those same dogs’ pet parents. I promise to exercise that same care in ensuring your dog is safe, happy, and content with my company so you won’t have to worry. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with your furry family! I’m currently in between training for my full time job and am available for sitting or walking your pet 7 days a week until 4/24! I have the time to devote my full attention to your pet while you’re away and can provide any necessary feedings, medication, etc whenever you can’t.

“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Richelle was amazing with my puppy Kairo while I was away on my trip! She kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured the whole time. Kairo had such a great time with her, and that means everything to me because I do not just leave him with anyone. She was caring, trustworthy, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and Kairo will definitely be welcomed back into her hands again!”
“My dog had such a great time at awoo’s. He was very responsive. Every time I messaged along with pictures. My dog isn’t around a lot of people, but trusted him. She’s also been asleep since I got her back very exhausted because of her being able to be so active there I would definitely book him again and again and again.”
“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”
“Our cat loved it with Emma and made herself right at home. She was great with pictures, notes, and even sent a little video. I'm excited to have someone I trust with Charlotte. Thank you to Emma and her lovely roommate.”
“Amanda was great with Zephyr. Shortly after dropping my dog off she sent an update and then we received on every day and often with a picture. She also provided a furbo link for the periods that she was at work. I always felt my dog was in good, caring hands.”
“This was our first time booking with Monique and I will definitely book again. She was very flexible with our last minute changes. She sent several messages and pictures of Harley over the weekend. Monique was very attentive and caring.”
“Phelan took great care of Sadie and made her feel right at home! She's a great communicator and she sent us lots of updates and pictures of Sadie. We look forward to bringing Sadie over again!”
“Kimberly was very nice to my kittens. She sent me at least 2 pictures per day and updated me daily. For sure she will be my choice for future whenever I need to leave my cats in the future again.”
“Everything went wonderfully! I was worried about leaving Wednesday with her medical issues but Mikkal knew what he was doing and took great care of her! She seemed very happy and healthy when I picked her up and will gladly use his services again in the future should I need them.”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing compassionate, dependable care. My career has taught me the value of patience, trust, and creating a calm, supportive environment—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I offer evening dog walks after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their dogs get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.
“Cache took great care of Charlie. He was super calm when I picked him up, instead of jumping all over me. Maybe he wanted to stay with her! Cache was very communicative and also flexible with my ever-changing timeline. It seemed clear that Charlie was her top priority for the 4 days he spent with her. She was on top of his routines and packed up all his things tidily for pick-up. By the way, I know Charlie doesn't care that she has a lovely apartment, but I liked it a lot. 😊 Cache inspired confidence so that I could relax during my trip.”
“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
“As usual, Jen is the ultimate pet sitter. Her attention to detail from sending daily pictures and updates to flexibility in her schedule keeps her at the top of my list for Wolfie. Thank you again!”
