Personalized care for your dog or cat - Union Hill
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Union Hill
“Rochelle was amazing! Took wonderful care of our puppy, send lots of updates and was very communicative! Put our mind at ease for our first time away and will definitely use her again!”
“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”
“Our first time taking a trip without our beloved Rocky. We could not have left him in better hands. The daily updates were great, and he seemed to have a great time. I highly recommend Xiting and would use her services again if she is available.”
“Anthony and Jayson clearly took great care of my dog. He actually played with a ball, which he never does! They also sent lots of pictures and activity updates. Highly recommend!”
“Marie was wonderful with Luna, our 5 month-old Westie puppy, who spent the last 6 days with her. Luna wasn't just boarded, nor do I think she was ever bored. Marie took her on long walks and, in the process, taught her how to stay focused on the walking, rather than on every stick, bug, squirrel, car, etc., that came within eyesight. Marie also sent multiple pictures daily as well as reports on how Luna was doing. I would recommend Marie in a heartbeat, and plan to continue boarding Luna with her whenever my wife and I need to go out of town.”
“Lesley was amazing as always! I swear she is a dog whisperer. My little Yorkie (who can admittedly be a handful AND seems to hate everyone) adores her. I couldn’t be happier with her service and am grateful to have found her.”
“Aaron took amazing care of Tucker and Lucy! He kept me updated with messages and photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like his own. Both dogs came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with him again—highly recommend!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog while we were out of town! Thomas took him on many adventures and sent photos every day showing us how he was doing and what they were up to. Highly recommend!!”
“David was amazing! He was super accommodating about a last minute booking, and sent lots of sweet pics of my pup having fun and getting loved on. He came back tired from all the playing and fun he had.”
About: I have a large home with a large back yard, great neighbors with great pets of their own to play with. We recently lost our dog so we have some extra space in our hearts and home. I am currently working from home and would love some company while doing so. Come join me ***Please Note: All care will be given by me only. Other members of the house may play only I currently only have cats that will completely ignore any dogs coming in. I would take directions from you on how your fur baby likes to be cared for
“Oscar is always so tuckered out and so happy after spending time with her! He loves all the other dogs he gets to spend time with there and is great for socializing him while he is still a puppy. Amy spends us plenty of updates and obviously loves dogs. We will continue to rebook with her when we go out of town!”
“Lauren and Justin were amazing! They provided daily photos and updates on how our dog was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their fenced-in yard is fantastic, and their own dogs are just the sweetest. We would absolutely use them again in the future and highly recommend their care!”
“Erika and her family were great with Parker while we were out of town for the week. She kept me updated with pictures and reassured me that he was settling in well and got along great with her other dogs. Erika is very thorough and took the time to make sure all questions were answered and any special needs were accommodated. We felt very comfortable leaving Parker with her and he had a great time and was well cared for! Thank you!”
“Jenn and her family were exceptional hosts for my Harlow's stay. Harlow was loved on and cared for as much as she is in her own home here with us. We don't often board Harlow, but will not hesitate to rebook with this lovely family.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Crystal. She took very good care of our elderly dog, Blue, and sent updates with pictures daily. Her fenced in yard is perfect for the dogs to exercise and socialize. We are definitely booking with her again soon!”
“Rachel was very accommodating with a meet and greet as well as the pick up and drop off times. She responded quickly to any questions, sent updates/pics, and took good care of Scout. It sounded like he had a lot of fun and he seemed happy, calm, and healthy when we picked him up. Thanks, Rachel!”

“We are extremely pleased with the care that Lisa provided over several days of drop-in visits for our dogs. One of our dogs can be nervous and he took to Lisa immediately. Her regular updates were detailed and she was exceptionally observant - noticing a behavior by one of our dogs that he has consistently displayed but is not very obvious. We highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was awesome! She came twice a day while we were on vacation and was always punctual and sweet with our cat. Rex immediately was comfortable with her :) Would definitely recommend!”
“Erika crushed it! First time having her watch our animals and she communicated perfectly. She followed instructions very well and gave our babies the best care! Our dog has some behavioral issues but she read his body language and was very successful.”
“Brad went above and beyond with caring for Shadow during my trip. Shadow can be quite fiesty and unique and Brad handled it all with a sense of humor. He also provides thorough written updates and tons of cute photos. It was a relief to know my buddy was in good hands. Additionally, I had multiple flight changes and a trip extension and Brad handled it no problem. I’d recommend Brad to anyone seeking a caring and dependable sitter. I am so unbelievably grateful.”
“Heather was the BEST with our senior dog and understood how much our chewy is loved and not just our dog but family, I would 100% recommend her and use her in the future. THANK YOU beyond a million Heather ….”
“Maria was available on short notice and always replied promptly. She asked all the right questions during our initial meeting and Rex warmed right up to her! Will definitely book again”
“Rico went above and beyond for me. I had a worst-case scenario power outage that could’ve been a real problem if he wasn’t willing to rush over (A/C, feeder and water fountain all failed). He was extremely responsive, even when I wasn’t due to reception in the mountains. Extremely dependable. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
About: Hello all! My name is Emily. I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. When I was 9 years old we got our family dog (a Havanese) and 6 years ago I adopted my soul dog petunia rose (pitbull). I sadly lost petunia in July to cancer and helped her daily for the last 6 months. I miss being around a smiley, happy, energetic dog but also found peace In helping animals who need a little more care and kindness. If you are looking for a walker, a sitter for the day, someone to administer meds, or just sit with and give some love while you’re at work, I'm your girl. I know how protective of my soul dog I was and I understand that trust is needed when going into someone’s home and watching their baby. I can assure you that I am a trust worthy, respectful and loving person who will treat your animal as if it were my own. I can’t wait to see all the fluffy babies I get to meet! I currently work full time Monday through Friday. Tuesday and Thursdays I work from Buffalo and Monday, Wednesday, Friday I work from home. I would be available MWF after 4pm and T/TH after 630. I’m free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! I make sure to ask questions and follow directions that are left by the owner carefully. I only go into rooms I am allowed and only touch items that are a part of caring for your animal. Your home is your home and I am only there to do a job of watching after your child! I will only feed your dog what I am told to, and respect all boundaries.
“Sarah was so amazing with my dog and cat! She truly made me feel so at ease leaving them for the weekend. She is very attentive and will do whatever she can to make sure your pets are happy and cozy. I will definitely rebook her next time I need a sitter!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and understanding that every cat has a unique personality. Some cats are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach, and I take the time to get to know each cat so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. As a coach and youth sports director, I am responsible for the well-being of many children and families, which has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and clear communication. I bring those same qualities to pet sitting. Cat owners can count on me to follow routines carefully, pay attention to behavioral changes, and provide updates with photos and messages during every visit. I am patient with shy or nervous cats, attentive to senior cats that may need extra care or medication, and happy to engage playful cats with toys and enrichment activities. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away.
“Carla visited my cat (Jack) for meaningful amounts of time (1-many hours) each day while I was away for a week, checking in with updates and many photos. Jack was very content upon my return (not typical because he gets sad) which was such a relief given that he requires lots of attention (playtime and cuddles). She was thorough and very respectful to me and my home.”
“David did a great job. My cat has some health issues and I needed to have him boarded this time while I was away. David was able to work with my cat giving him the space and care he needed. He was responsive when I checked in and sent me plenty of pictures throughout the week. This was great peace of mind while I was away on my work trip. Allowing me to fully concentrate on what I needed to do. Thanks again David. I would definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I have had animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with always having a dog in the house and then about 3 years ago I adopted 2 cats. I have 1 year old dog and 2 cats in my home. I often dog sit my friends elderly pup along with my parents coworker trusting me to look after her cats while shes away. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I work full time and am typically available anytime after 3 on Mondays, anytime Wednesday, and after 5pm Thursdays/Fridays. I have every other weekend off, so some weekends may vary with times available. When it comes to dog walking or drop ins, I am also available to stay at your home for some extra socializing and playtime for your pet. At home my dog is on his leash outside as I don’t have a fenced in yard. My cats are also free roam throughout the house with two liter boxes spread out that I clean daily. I am comfortable with both types of animals and both on leash and off leash dogs.
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart! I grew up with a cat who was part of my family from childhood until he passed away a few years ago, so I have many years of firsthand experience caring for and living with cats. They are truly one of my favorite pets, and I especially love how every cat has such a unique personality. I understand that some cats want all the cuddles and attention, while others need a little more time and space to feel comfortable. During college, I also cared for my teammates’ cats over winter breaks, making sure they were fed, had fresh water and clean litter boxes, and, most importantly, got plenty of attention and companionship while their owners were away. I genuinely love having a cat around and am always happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. I’ll take the time to learn your cat’s individual routine and personality so they can feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as possible while you’re away!
“Sophie is amazing! The love and care she puts into her visits is truly remarkable. We will certainly be requesting for Sophie to come back and visit. Thank you Sophie!”
“Raeanne is a sweet kind person who took very good care of our cat while we were away for the weekend! She did what we asked of her and that left us with a peace of mind! Definitely will be hiring her again for future cat sitting jobs!”
About: Hi there, I'm Steven! Embracing a flexible schedule from home, I'm a cat enthusiast with a heart for feline friends. With two delightful companions of my own, I'd love to ensure your cat's happiness while you're away. From engaging playtime and cozy companionship to any special needs, your kitty is in caring and experienced hands. Let's make your cat's time away purrfectly delightful!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Union Hill
“I wanted to find a reliable pet sitter for my 5 year old rescue dog. I found Amy on Rover and tried out doggie daycare so see if it was a good fit. Dominick came home happily exhausted after a day of play. Amy clearly loves dogs and treats her furry guests to the same loving treatment as her own dogs. The communication from Amy was excellent before, during and after Dominick's stay. Amy is now my new go to pet sitter whenever we leave town or if Dominick needs a play day with friends. He was reluctant to leave her home at the end of the day! Thanks Amy.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for many types of animals throughout my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, some birds and reptiles. I am my family’s and neighbors go-to pet sitter. I am looking forward to taking care of your loved pet as well! As a full time caregiver, my schedule can be flexible to fit your specific pet sitting needs. I have a 3 year old Shepard/ Husky mix and a cat that likes to keep to himself. I'd love to stick to your routine as much as possible. If boarding with me, it is important all animals get along and are kid friendly. Please provide any toys/blankets that may help comfort your pup while they stay. Outside time can be on a leash in the backyard, a troll down the sidewalk, or a trip to the park.
“I can't say enough about how awesome Elliot & Dominque were with my very active Husky! They seemed to have as much fun as she did which is absolutely wonderful and I know that Denali is in fantastic hands when she is with them. Thank you guys again and see you soon!”
About: I’m an animal lover who has been caring for my friends’ dogs and cats for quite some time, and I recently decided to turn something I truly love into a little business of my own! 🐾 I’m home all day and don’t work outside the home, which means I have 100% of my time available to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve while their pawrents are away. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be their person while you’re away. ❤️ Your pets aren’t just a job to me—they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own I’m home all day with a very flexible schedule. I’m able to build my day around the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and—most importantly—lots of love and companionship. I don’t have to rush off to work or leave them alone for long periods, so they can have someone around throughout the day just like they would at home with their pawrents. 🐾❤️ Whether your pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and quirks. My goal is for your pets to feel happy and relaxed while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for. 🐾❤️
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”
“Marie understood Chica's anxiety from being away from home for the first time and gave her plenty of attention and exercise. Marie was very attentive towards Chica and gave us positive feedback regarding her stay. We highly recommend Marie!”
About: I have had dogs of my own. I had a lab and a yorkie silk terrier. I treat dogs like they are my children. I will take them on fun walks, make sure their well fed and play with them. I always make sure my focus is on the dogs so they don't feel lonely! Something that sets me apart from other walkers and sitters is that I like cardio. So just walking alot or even running with the dog will not only help me but the dog too! I really want a dog of my own right now but me and my husband don't have the finances so we thought this be the perfect job! I hope you give me a chance to watch your dog! You won't be dissappinted!
“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
“Amazing! Carla’s positive energy and chill personality was a hit with my girl. She was super content and tired after each day. I will definitely be returning!”
“I really am so happy with the care my dog received here. She was happy and would have probably been happy to stay and play with these wonderful humans! It feels great to know that she is being loved a LOT! Highly recommend.”
“We booked a trial daycare before our boarding to make sure it was a good fit for everyone and it went great! Please see my full review about how much fun Sal had while staying over for boarding. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats ever since I was 17-18 years old. I have watched friends cats and I have watched family’s dogs. I am a quick learner if there is something special you need me to do for your pet. While I have not babysat dogs that often, I am very good with them and have taken care of them before I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to walk, play with and take care of your furry little friends/family. I have a cat of my own as well as ferrets that I take care of everyday and play with and I’d be happy to do it for you. As I live in an apartment, they do not allow me to dog sit here. So I am more than willing to come watch your furry little friends and do whatever you need to be done for your pet while they are in my care.
“Oz and Lily love going to Alex & Bethany house. It’s a good feeling knowing that your dogs are well taking care of . Oz and Lily love going to their house Home away from home ❤️”

“Taylor was great and helped us out last minute. I had a baby and ended up in the hospital for a week which was not planned and Taylor worked around her schedule to help out our pup Sydney and make sure she was taken care of!”
About: I have been a dog owner myself for the last 15 years, cats for 13 years and birds a few years. I have three shelties currently. One senior boy with arthritis, so I am well versed in taking care of senior dogs, and dogs of any age. My boys are all very well mannered and submissive. I have volunteered at Lollypop farm in the past, and have a true passion for animals. I have fostered dogs and adopted as well. My husband and I work from home for the majority of the week, so we have plenty of flexibility to help love and care for your pet! I have fenced in backyard and three fur babies to keep your doggo company. We have agility equipment as well. I would be happy to do what works best for your family.
“Rico is great and my GSD loves him! He gets sad when he leaves. He is helping exercise him and work his brain and body to hopefully be less reactive in the world.”
About: Hi! I’m Brandon, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I work full-time as an event coordinator in Rochester, which means I’m organized, dependable, and comfortable managing responsibilities while providing great customer service. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants company and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide energetic walks as well as slower-paced strolls for senior dogs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show my own. When you book with me, you can expect: * Plenty of updates and photos during every visit. * Reliable, on-time arrivals. * Respect for your home and your pet’s routine. * Clear communication before, during, and after each booking. My schedule is also very flexible. I work from home three days a week, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking, drop-in, and pet care requests throughout the day. Whether you need a midday walk, evening visit, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m currently working full time at University of Rochester. I work from home 3 days a week, which makes my schedule flexible during the week. I also have weekends off for the most part. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I have been walking dogs for over 10 years as neighbors had me walk their dogs when I was young. I house and dog sit for my family. I volunteered with a rescue for two years and currently foster for a rescue that I’ve been with for about 4-5 years. I work 8-5 every weekday. I’m good at giving animals space when i know they’re scared or nervous and really make sure I earn an animals trust. I have a beautiful 2 year old baby girl. There is a chance she would be with me for walks and drop ins depending on what day of the week it is. If your pet has any habits or preferences i would like to know them (how they’re fed, favorite toy, favorite place to be pet or scratched). I work full time but have a 10 month old pitty mix at home. I’m home by 5pm every day and leave between 8/9am depending on if I have my daughter or if she’s with her dad. I have a pup of my own we live in an apartment but we go on daily walks. We like using a harness over just a collar because we don’t want to risk him slipping out of it.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always felt happiest when surrounded by animals! I have several years of pet-sitting experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I enjoy long walks and am happy to follow your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you're away. I work full-time for the University of Rochester and have a hybrid schedule, so I'm only in the office two days a week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). The rest of the week, I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your furry family members! On weekends, my schedule is also very flexible. I enjoy golfing, but it's easy for me to adjust my plans to accommodate each pet's unique needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know each pet and learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, training, and household rules to ensure consistency while you're away. While I love giving pets plenty of affection and attention, I also respect their boundaries and individual needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels cared for and at home.
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs since I was a pre-teen. My siblings rely on me for their dog-care when they go out of town. I love taking mine and my siblings’s dogs on walks whenever I can! I have experience from puppies to older dogs. I’m currently working part-time while I’m in grad school, so I have plenty availability most afternoons. I love to walk my own dogs as a nice study break and would love to include your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard that ensures the safety of your pets and allows them plenty of space to run sdound! My parents and I have two medium-sized dogs that love to play with others!

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience dog sitting for family members and friends since I was young. I am available part time to love and care for your dog(s) and cat(s) while you are away! I have a male Malshi named Gus Gus that will be with me while house sitting or pet sitting in my own home. He gets along with other small dogs well! He loves to play! He does not come with me to drop-in visits. Your dog and I will play games, go for walks, and be best buds during our time together. I will provide basic pet care duties, such as walking, feeding, playing, brushing, and bathing if necessary. I will clean up any messes that may have occurred and make sure your dog is safe and comfortable at all times until you return home. I have availability during the week after 5:30pm to care for your precious little fur baby. I am not available every weekend but when I am, I will have open availability and can hangout with your pets all day! I treat mine, my friend’s, and family’s pets like family members. I treat them like the precious little babies that they are! We play, get treats for good behavior, take baths when there’s been a little too much fun outside, we brush, eat breakfast and dinner, and cuddle before bed time.
About: I have had cats my whole life, including my two current kitties - Barney and Peggy. I have a very caring nature, and have always loved all animals. I will treat and care for your pets as though they are my own. I am a full-time teacher, so weekends and week nights work best for me during the school year. In the summer and on school holidays, my schedule is much more open! I will care for your pets the way you would care for them yourself. I currently have a senior cat named Barney and a recently adopted orange cat of around 7 years old named Westley. They have bonded very nicely despite Barney being set in his ways. I have also had a three-legged cat named Peggy, and I loved and cared for her in the specific ways that she needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I was responsible for walking the family dog when I was younger, volunteered at a shelter walking dogs every Saturday morning for 5 years, and have owned a dog myself for the last 20 years. My current dog, Bruce, and I are a registered therapy dog team, which required a lot of training and building of trust between us. He's a border collie (though he's slowed down in his old age) that needs his daily walks and play time. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone. You need to be able to trust them and I promise to take care of your dog with as much love and care as I take care of my own. I have 4 cats, so you pup MUST be good with cats. I work from home everyday so I am able to take care of potty breaks as needed and provide attention and playtime throughout the day. Building trust with an animal is etremely important. I am careful to keep an eye on body language so that I know when an animal wants more or less attention, needs to go for a walk, or needs to play. My own dog has been trained to walk on a loose leash by my side and does not pull. I've had plenty of experience walking shelter dogs who had no training though, so I can handle quite a bit. I regularly interact with my cats depending upon what type of interaction they want. I have two cats who love to play with toys on strings, and two other cats who prefer to be showered with pets. I am a believer that if you pay attention the animal will let you know what it's boundaries are.

“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”
“Our first time taking a trip without our beloved Rocky. We could not have left him in better hands. The daily updates were great, and he seemed to have a great time. I highly recommend Xiting and would use her services again if she is available.”
“Anthony and Jayson clearly took great care of my dog. He actually played with a ball, which he never does! They also sent lots of pictures and activity updates. Highly recommend!”
“Aaron took amazing care of Tucker and Lucy! He kept me updated with messages and photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like his own. Both dogs came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with him again—highly recommend!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog while we were out of town! Thomas took him on many adventures and sent photos every day showing us how he was doing and what they were up to. Highly recommend!!”
“David was amazing! He was super accommodating about a last minute booking, and sent lots of sweet pics of my pup having fun and getting loved on. He came back tired from all the playing and fun he had.”
About: I have a large home with a large back yard, great neighbors with great pets of their own to play with. We recently lost our dog so we have some extra space in our hearts and home. I am currently working from home and would love some company while doing so. Come join me ***Please Note: All care will be given by me only. Other members of the house may play only I currently only have cats that will completely ignore any dogs coming in. I would take directions from you on how your fur baby likes to be cared for
“Oscar is always so tuckered out and so happy after spending time with her! He loves all the other dogs he gets to spend time with there and is great for socializing him while he is still a puppy. Amy spends us plenty of updates and obviously loves dogs. We will continue to rebook with her when we go out of town!”
“Lauren and Justin were amazing! They provided daily photos and updates on how our dog was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their fenced-in yard is fantastic, and their own dogs are just the sweetest. We would absolutely use them again in the future and highly recommend their care!”
“Erika and her family were great with Parker while we were out of town for the week. She kept me updated with pictures and reassured me that he was settling in well and got along great with her other dogs. Erika is very thorough and took the time to make sure all questions were answered and any special needs were accommodated. We felt very comfortable leaving Parker with her and he had a great time and was well cared for! Thank you!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Crystal. She took very good care of our elderly dog, Blue, and sent updates with pictures daily. Her fenced in yard is perfect for the dogs to exercise and socialize. We are definitely booking with her again soon!”
“Rachel was very accommodating with a meet and greet as well as the pick up and drop off times. She responded quickly to any questions, sent updates/pics, and took good care of Scout. It sounded like he had a lot of fun and he seemed happy, calm, and healthy when we picked him up. Thanks, Rachel!”
“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!!”
“Alex and Bethany are amazing. They are so kind and patient, and will do everything they can to make your fur baby comfortable and feel loved. We will definitely book again!”
“Through the pics Richardo sent, it looks like my gentlemen had a great time. I will be using Richardo again soon, as in next week! I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a great sitter”
“I had a great experience with Kenan and would definitely recommend him. He communicated with me throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I also really appreciated that he was able to take my dog on very short notice. My dog has some behavioral issues, and when I explained them, Kenan didn't seem intimidated or put off at all. He was calm, patient, and relaxed, which helped me feel much more comfortable leaving my dog in his care. It was clear that he takes his business seriously and genuinely cares about the animals he watches. The biggest sign that my dog had a great time was when I picked him up—he kept looking back at the house like he wanted to stay! That alone told me he felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to trust Kenan with my dog again.”
