“Fabulous experience, my 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs LOVED< LOVED< LOVED Kyle! They didn't really want to leave, either! Kyle is the quintessential laid back dog lover....will definitely hire him again!”
“Really successful experience! Lots of comfy furniture for the dogs to lounge on. Kym’s own dogs were great playmates for our pup all weekend- he came back relaxed and exhausted. Kym sent photos every day so we knew our dog was having fun. Kym had all our belongings ready to go when we arrived for pickup. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Katharine is wonderful! We love the constant updates and pictures throughout the day letting us know how happy our dog is with her! She’s always so accommodating and Alfie cannot wait to stay again.”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“Very nice experience with Anner. We did a pre-boarding meet and greet with my dog which went well and then a one night boarding. The house has a fenced yard which is safe when letting dogs out. House is very clean and dogs feel at home. There was even another dog there at the same time so they kept each other company.”
“Andrea is fantastic! Wally is so excited to see her when we drop him off and her backyard setup is incredible. Wally comes home happy and exhausted after every visit. Highly recommend!”
“Kevin did such a great job taking care of our Ruby girl, sending daily pics and updates that made us feel at ease. He was super attentive in listening to us about Ruby’s quirks and (craziness) and made her feel comfortable under his care. Ruby was so happy and looked like she had a great time with Kevin! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”
“Erika was amazing. She kept me posted all the time with pictures and she helped my boy with his anxiety of staying away from us. The peace of mind of finding someone we can trust our dog with its really the best.”
“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”
“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”
“This was our first time using Ivon and we couldn’t be more pleased! Dogs were well taken care of, she sent updates often and some great pictures and even took them on walks despite them being terrible on a leash. We will definitely use her again!”
“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Tina watched our dog for 4 days and went above and beyond. She was extremely attentive to our dog’s needs and sent plenty of pictures of how well everything was going. We will absolutely book again for our next trip. Thank you Tina!”

“Rhea was excellent - on time, responsive, took plenty of photos and from those photos I could tell that my cat was enjoying his time with her. Would absolutely hire again - thank you!”
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
“Dee is wonderful! We have a very shy cat who doesn't like to interact and she handles the situation perfectly. She's on-time, professional and communicative. No hesitance to recommend!”
“Alex is truly an exceptional cat sitter. She takes such wonderful care of Obake and Nandor and consistently goes above and beyond. One of my cats is a very shy rescue, and the fact that he feels comfortable with Alex speaks volumes about her patience and kindness. She is extremely communicative, keeps me updated, and I can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares for my cats. I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: Animals bring joy to our world, and specifically to my world! I am happy and honored to care for your loved ones! With 15 years of experience caring for Dogs, Cats (and Bears oh my), Fish, Turtles, I have time-tested experience with success, and increasing enjoyability! I have a calm demeanor which has been in part inspired folks to call me a "dog whisperer." I will have an immediate, positive impact on your loved ones life, and want to be of service to our sacred pet community! I'm a part-time law student, with a few free days each week, which I would love to spend taking the best care of your pet(s)! I believe all animals deserve compassion, attention, and a reliable food schedule/walks outside! I'll adhere to YOUR specific requests, I am here to serve YOU!
“Consultation with Kathleen was great. She is open, professional and flexible with apparent experience and knowledge of animals. We will definitely love to have her as our cat sitter.”
“Kim was fantastic and took exceptional care of our cat Cleo! She went above and beyond and even watered our plants on the side, which was hugely helpful. It gave my husband and me such peace of mind knowing everything was in such great hands while we were away. We’ll definitely be reaching out again!”
“Cassidy took great care of our cat Coco while we were on vacation. She is super responsive, very helpful and flexible. We had a few unexpected things that happened in our apartment while we were away and Cassidy was so helpful and managed all that for us, alleviating a lot of stress from us. We were able to enjoy the vacation and the cat was happy !”
“Briana was super attentive with watching my cat Davie while I was away for a week. She was super communicative with sending regular updates and managed to get Davie to come out of her shell a bit & play (she’s generally very shy)!”
“Anna took exceptional care of my two babies, and followed all of my instructions! She was polite and checked in with me on any questions about the babies and gave me a heads-up if she might be stopping by early. I came home to a perfect and clean apartment, and two very happy and well-fed babies. Highly recommend!”
About: I have several years of hands on experience caring for a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs and cats I just love animals. I am available 7 days a week June through August. I have a very flexible schedule right now for pet sitting and taking care of pets. I currently have four pets two dogs and two cats in my home. They are all very important members of my family and I will treat any pet like it’s my own.
“Anna took really great care of my cat. I can tell she has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of animals. She even sent a photo during her visit which put me at ease. Would definitely use again!”
“Rachel was awesome and kept us updated while we were gone and appreciate all the love she gave our cats. It allowed us to enjoy our trip without stressing about our two cats.”
“Pam was so great with our two kitties while we were away. She was on time every day and we truly appreciated the extra steps she took like vacuuming and offering to take out the trash. Would definitely book again. Thanks!”

“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and various other pets my whole adult life. I believe trust is the most important thing when it comes to leaving your pets with a sitter and I can assure you I will treat your pets like I would my own, with love and respect. Your dog will be staying in a family style boarding situation, where they get the love and attention from myself, my husband and our 2 children (7 and 10) who adore helping out with all the pups. We have a large fenced in back yard for lots of supervised running, playing and sniffing! I am trained in obedience training and can provide puppy socialization. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a meeting! Boarding is always available. I am available weekdays after 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for walks, drop ins, puppy socialization or obedience training. I am fully available on the weekends for boarding, walking, drop-ins, puppy socialization and obedience training. I have 3 extremely friendly small dogs for your fur baby to play with or relax with. I strive to make the dogs that stay here comfortable and as stress free as possible.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
“Irene has made my experience using Rover so easy and carefree. This is my first time leaving my dog, and she is extremely confident with her handling. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends me throughout the day too!”
“John was an absolutely awesome caretaker for our dog Frankie. Before we even arrived, he was extremely communicative which was much appreciated. From the moment we arrived, he was on top of Frankie and asking all the right questions to ensure she'd have a delightful stay. Frankie got so much playtime with Pizza and another dog John was caring for that day. John was also able to take her to the dog park for HOURS where she enjoyed endless amounts of socialization. He provided updates during the day which let us know Frankie was a-okay. Thanks for the awesome care and attention you gave Frankie, John!”
“Rich was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is coming from a dog mom who was very nervous about leaving her baby. This is the first time for our Romeo and Rich absolutely and completely understood my concern. We had a meet and greet and Rich and Romeo bonded from the very beginning. Romeo spent the day with Rich yesterday and from the photos and videos sent, Romeo had a blast! He did not want to leave. I highly recommend Rich and I am DEFINITELY using him from this point forward. Rich, see you TOMORROW! Thank you for easing me. Knowing Romeo is in good hands is a huge relief.”
“I dropped my dog off for a day of daycare. She got me in last minute and was great at communicating. My dog is usually nervous but seemed comfortable with Kayla. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough. My dogs aren’t away from me very much and can be scared and anxious with new sitters. I had to drop them off without a meet and greet because I was only in town for one day. The first day they stay with someone new, they usually don’t eat. The best indication that they were comfortable and at home with her is that they ate all the food I left. I would gladly leave them with her regularly if I lived nearby.”
“Fergus our 1 year old had a wonderful time at Kyle's. He played all day and was very comfortable there. We will definitely book again and build up some overnights.Its a great relief to have found a safe place and a caring dog lover to watch him.”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, but didn’t truly realize my appreciation for them until high school when I started pet sitting (over ten years ago!) I would watch my friends’ pets when they were on vacation, and felt compelled to make the pets’ stay with me a vacation as well 🐶😊. Since I started watching dogs I always considered them my PIC (partner in crime.). I take them with me on all my adventuress! They meet all my family and friends, and I have even taken a dog on a weekend trip to Block Island (with owners permission of course!) These days, I am home most of the day. I have a small business, which I run out of my home. I am home for majority of the day, but often have to step out for no more than 2 hours at a time. I typically give dogs 2 long walks (30-40 minutes) a day, and take them out in the yard and small walks down the street at least 5 times a day. They get potty breaks every 2-3 hours. I am a VERY active person. I am a marathon runner and avid hiker. No matter what your dog’s activity level is, I will be sure to tucker them out🐶😂. My typical morning and evening walk for dogs is a mile and a half around the reservoir trail in my back yard. I am more than happy to adjust to match your dog’s needs. I live on a small private street. My family and dear neighbors are all nearby. My large yard, close knit community, woods, reservoir trails and loving family truly is a paradise for dogs🐶😊❤️ My schedule varies every day. I can be in and out throughout the day, but never away from home for more than 2-3 hours at a a time. I am typically home for the day by 3pm. Some days I am home all day! It really depends on the week. I live alone and have no pets. I live in a private street with lots of land to explore. I never take dogs off leash when we are outside.
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 12 years. And love them like they was family. And I watch all my friends and families dogs. I also work for wag. I have open availability for boarding. My favorite animal is a dog i always wants to be with dogs. ( i use to own cats too incase any feline friends need. I had 4 dogs growing up and as a child it was my job to care for them. When my parents sold the house because of their split they split the dogs
“Gwynne is amazing! We just started using her a few weeks ago and every time my dog Lola goes to stay at Gwynne’s she is excited and has a great time. I definitely recommend Gwynne, she’s the only dog sitter we use ☺️”
“I had another wonderful experience with Monika and her adorable dog, Lexi, during my dog’s recent daycare stay! This was my second time using Rover, and once again, Monika went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. From the very beginning, she was responsive, warm, and flexible, accommodating my schedule. My dog can be a bit cautious around new faces, but after spending time with Monika, he was calm, content, and in great spirits when I picked him up. Monika also kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of my dog , which really put my mind at ease and made me feel like he was in great hands. It’s clear that Monika genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and her dog Lexi is just as sweet and friendly, which made the experience even better. I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received, and I’m already looking forward to booking with Monika again. If you're looking for someone reliable, loving, and experienced, I highly recommend Monika! You can trust her to provide a safe, welcoming environment for your furry friend.”

“Kevin was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, my dog usually stays with family or friends, and he made me feel at ease having Roni with him for the day. He asked great questions beforehand that made me feel confident he would be good at handling dogs. And when Roni was with him for the day, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely use Kevin again! It made me feel better knowing Roni was at someone’s house, being watched by someone who’s really good with dogs, and had dog friends to play with.”

“Stuart had an issue getting my dog to go back in my home after her walk was over. Christmas Eve wanted to stay laying on the grass outside. Stuart immediately contacted me for assistance in getting Chrissy back in the home. She finally was coaxed to oblige with her favorite dog treat. Thank you again Stuart”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I had my own dog for 10 years, and I now volunteer at a local animal shelter. Those experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and tuned into each pet’s unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care as a senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home My schedule is very open during the week, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency in their care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays Monday through Thursday. I do like to keep my weekends a bit more flexible for personal time, but I’m still open to bookings with advance notice. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to prioritize each pet’s needs throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to build trust at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and keeping their environment tidy. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Walfredo has been tremendous! He is reliable, responsive and our dog loves him. Walfredo keeps us informed of everything and is communicative ahead of time if there are any changes. I highly recommend Walfredo to anyone looking for dog walking and pet sitting services.”
“Jess was lovely with my dog. I have a German Shepherd and I’m always a bit worried with strangers. Jess came to my house to meet my dog beforehand to make sure they were a good fit which made me feel so much more at ease. Jess even sent me pictures of their walks! She was very accommodating with my instructions and I’m so grateful for her service.”
“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”
About: With over 6 years of experience working in veterinary hospitals and over 10 years of caring for pets, your babies will be in great hands. I have 2 large dogs, 3 cats, and a snake! I have also fostered various other individuals over the years (including a mama with 7 kittens and a geriatric pitbull.) I am experienced in administering medication, as well as basic injections such as VetSulin. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out! I hope to meet you and your fur (or furless) babies soon! I just moved to Ridgefield from Orlando, so my schedule is completely open for your pet care needs! I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and am excited to add your pets routine into my schedule. I am happy to stay the whole day at your home or make multiple visits throughout the day. Whichever is preferred! I will follow your care instructions meticulously, and I provide regular updates.
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
“I felt at ease having Caleigh walk our brand new baby, Leo. She was communicative and right on time which was important for us with an 8wk old puppy. Will be using again. Thank you!”
“Tara is amazing! She’s been walking our two dogs since November 2023, and every experience has been fantastic. This week was no different—she came by three times at lunch, and as always, she was punctual, communicative, and so sweet with our pups. She sends great updates and pictures, which we always appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about them, and they absolutely adore her. Knowing she’s there gives us total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, we can’t recommend Tara enough!”

“Fabulous experience, my 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs LOVED< LOVED< LOVED Kyle! They didn't really want to leave, either! Kyle is the quintessential laid back dog lover....will definitely hire him again!”
“Really successful experience! Lots of comfy furniture for the dogs to lounge on. Kym’s own dogs were great playmates for our pup all weekend- he came back relaxed and exhausted. Kym sent photos every day so we knew our dog was having fun. Kym had all our belongings ready to go when we arrived for pickup. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Katharine is wonderful! We love the constant updates and pictures throughout the day letting us know how happy our dog is with her! She’s always so accommodating and Alfie cannot wait to stay again.”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“Very nice experience with Anner. We did a pre-boarding meet and greet with my dog which went well and then a one night boarding. The house has a fenced yard which is safe when letting dogs out. House is very clean and dogs feel at home. There was even another dog there at the same time so they kept each other company.”
“Erika was amazing. She kept me posted all the time with pictures and she helped my boy with his anxiety of staying away from us. The peace of mind of finding someone we can trust our dog with its really the best.”
“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”
“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Tina watched our dog for 4 days and went above and beyond. She was extremely attentive to our dog’s needs and sent plenty of pictures of how well everything was going. We will absolutely book again for our next trip. Thank you Tina!”
“Marcella took excellent care of our pup Lorelei during spring break. She was very communicative and sent us updates and pictures regularly. Lorelei had a great time enjoying taking walks and playing in her yard. We highly recommend Marcella and Lorelei will definitely be coming back to her home.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“Nicole and her family took wonderful care of our girls, Bailey and Ruby. Highly recommend her. She provided dailey pictures which showed the care our girls received. Will use her services whenever we go out of town.”
“Gaileen was great! She was very easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. She sent us some great pics and a video to update us on our pup’s stay with her and nice feedback as to how he was settling in during his stay. She took great care of our guy and we will definitely book her again!”
“Natasha and Hamir took such great care of Minnie! They are so sweet and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and are “dog people.” My dog was instantly comfortable when she met them, which put me at ease. They really treated Minnie like their own and kept me updated while I was away. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything!”
