“Alex took such great care of my dog! He provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved.”
About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.
“I am fully comfortable leaving Marley with Andrea. During her stay, Marley had some stomach issues, and Andrea kept me updated the entire time. Sometimes after staying with a sitter, Marley can be a bit clingy. You would not know I was gone with how relaxed she was when I returned. I highly recommend Andrea!”
“Aaron and Kaylee were awesome! They took great care of our little guy and kept us posted with photos and updates that set our minds at ease. They are talented, experienced and clearly care great deal about animals. And they were highly responsive to any questions. We will definitely be sending our dog to stay with them again in the future!”
“I was nervous leaving my puppy with someone for the first time, but was quickly put at ease. Destiny sent updates and photos, and made him feel right at home. Will definitely be using Destiny again!”
“Rose was great and very easy to deal with. She took great care of our Griff and he loved playing ball and was tired out. I would definetely reccommend her. Very friendly and appreciative and loves animals.”
“Steve and Patty were great, I highly recommend them!! Steve took the time out to listen to my dogs needs and even gave me some wonderful advice on some behavioral issues, my Roxy had a wonderful time! Steve and Patty cared about my dog as if she was their own ❤️”
“Claudia took great care of my Hank! She sent lots of pictures and updates and went above and beyond to care for my senior dog in giving him his medication, taking him on walks, and giving him treats. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that since I was eight years old I have been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I have 25 rescue cats back home in California in which I work with rescues for free vaccines and neutering and spaying. Lots of the cats I take care of have special needs or require administering medication. I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as being spoonfed. I work part-time over the winter and will spend most days indoors studying for LSAT. I go for walks on breaks and usually give attention to my pets and others between breaks or as needed! My house has spare rooms where I can house pets if they are not comfortable with my cats! My cats can remain on third floor if needed with free roam acccess around house for cats and for dogs it varies on a case by case basis.
“Kathy and Tim took care of Bodie over Thanksgiving week and our pooch had a great stay! We received daily updates and photos and we could tell he felt quite at home. Their dog, Bailey, is well-mannered and friendly to people and other dogs - not a concern at all for Bodie (who's a bit picky about other dogs). We are THRILLED we found a very comfortable and caring home-away-from-home for Bodie and already have plans to bring him back next month. Thank you!!”
“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Super grateful I found Ray to dog-sit for Maya! I really did feel like she was on doggy-vacation with all the activities they did. My dog is very active so I am really glad to find someone who will keep up with her energy and take her on lots of fun hikes and swims. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“As always, our boys Richard and Philip had an incredible time staying with Robert and Eileen! They got lots of exercise in the big fenced yard, despite the tundra-like conditions, and we got detailed updates every day with cute photos and videos. Richard even learned to fetch! Robert and Eileen are gems, and I would leave them a 10 star review if I had the option!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie, and I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. My family has 6 dogs total, from a Chihuahua to Pit Bulls, so I’m quite familiar with taking care of different sizes, ages, and breeds. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs with special needs, as I used to own a blind and deaf dog. I’m happy to pet sit overnight or just take your dog on a walk! I’m definitely a homebody, so your pet can have my undivided attention. It would genuinely make me so happy to take care of your dog, please feel free to reach out! I’m currently working part-time and taking classes remotely, so I’m almost always home. My work days are on the weekends, but on weekdays I am completely free! While I work weekends, I work close enough to home to be able to check-in during my breaks. I do not have any pets at home, so any pets can expect my undivided attention. I do not have a yard, but I am happy to take dogs for long walks around campus!

“Victoria was extremely reliable in watching our car over two weeks - she made sure she played and was fed and her litter was clean and the AC was right and everything in between. Will book again in the future!”
“Kaylee was great! Very responsible, dedicated, and communicative. I felt safe knowing she was looking after my cats, and she went above and beyond dealing with their shenanigans! Totally recommend her as a pet-sitter.”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to independent senior cats. I understand that every cat has unique needs and comfort levels, and I always take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and secure in my care. Whether it's feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications (if applicable), or simply providing companionship and playtime, I am attentive to the details that keep cats happy and healthy. I also understand the importance of maintaining their routine and respecting their space, especially for shy or anxious cats. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their cat is receiving the same level of attention and care that I would want for my own pets.
“Karla took excellent care of our cat Scotty for us! She was always timely and super communicative too — we so looked forward to the photos and detailed updates she provided daily! We highly recommend her to other cat parents and will certainly book her services again :)”
“Nicole was absolutely FANTASTIC with Tyson. She was great about taking tons of pictures, and it was clear in all of them that my fuzzball was loving his playtime with her. She was super communicative, flexible, and a joy to work with. Will definitely be using her services again in the future - I think Tyson would be mad at me if I didn’t!!”
“I love having Kaylee and Aaron watch our kitties; I always miss them when we have to go for an extended stay, but feel very comforted that they are well cared for while we are away. I would highly recommend them!”

About: I have always lived with pets! :) I grew up with dogs Ella and Koikkie when I was little, and loved walking and playing with them. In college I couldn't have a dog, but I did get my first cat, Oliver. He was more or less feral when we found him but with lots of love and food, he became a lap cat with a happy home on a farm. Two years ago I moved to Ithaca, and have two 3-year old Siberian cats, Nadja and Moose. They need a lot of exercise and play which includes taking them out on leashes to walk around the block. I also frequently cat sit for my friends who have a mix of young and old cats.
About: I have had Pets my entire life and have taken care of them since I can remember. I take care of family friends Dogs and Cats. I’ve house sitter for them and taken their dogs for walks for years. I love treating each pet with the same level of love they would get from their owners since they aren’t there. I do dog walking services around my neighborhood and enjoy being able to look out for our furry friends. I have been taking care of pets all my life. I am home for the summer from college and without a full time job I am able to be of pet care assistance at almost anytime. I believe that taking care of pets is a high priority in life and it deserves the same time and care as any other job. I believe that all pets deserve love and care the same way their owners would care for them. When an owner is not with the pet they deserve extra care to make them feel loved. I enjoy spending time with pets and giving them my time just as much as they may enjoy it. Pets are a major priority in my life and I think they deserve attention and care as much as we can give them.
About: I have owned two cats for 3 years now, one is an elderly cat who needed rehoming and another is a kitten that escaped a house fire and needed a new home. Between the grumpy old man and high energy kid, I can handle it all. I have also done informal pet sitting with cats of various needs!
About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends!

I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls! They are now 16 months and LOVE visiting with your animals. Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.
About: I grew up in a household full of animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors for as long as I have been old enough. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, a rabbit, chickens and numerous other small creatures who I have loved over the years. My profile picture is of my parent's golden doodle! I am currently a physical therapy student at Ithaca College who is spending the summer here in Ithaca and looking to dog walk/sit or pet sit! I am not planning on doing any boarding of animals because of my household's allergies but I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walking!
“Yazmeen follow all the directions I left and that dogs really like her. It was our first time having someone come to our house to check on the dogs and feed them instead of boarding. It went so smoothly we will definitely request her again. Thank you Yazmeen!”
“Max is wonderful. She looked after our three cats over the holiday break, and I came back to 3 happy, healthy cats, as well as an immaculately clean house. I had to change plans a couple of times, and Max was totally accommodating of my chaos! Communication was excellent, and Max is just generally a great person.”
“Bill and Emma were terrific caregivers over the course of 11 days. They provided very consistent care and attention for and to my older cat, along with many photos and daily notes 2x/day for his human. I would have them care for Benny again without hesitation.”

“My dog had a fabulous time at daycare with Mikia, her daughter and her dog Zara. I received some great photos (including some funny ones of the dogs wrestling) and felt comfortable knowing the dog was having a good time, socializing and burning off her adolescent energy while I was at work. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer was so easygoing and able to accommodate with little notice. My energetic puppy enjoyed playing with the other doggos. He was well taken care of, stayed all day, and slept well when we got home after a fun filled day. Will use again in the future.”
“I am working out of town and Caterina has been a god send for letting me take my puppy with me during the week. She is tucked away in the country with lots of walks and interactions with other doggy friends, which my girl loves. Highly recommend!”
About: I've cared for dogs of different sizes over the years and I love to cuddle, walk, and pamper pups. We have a fenced in back yard and I like to take long walks with dogs if they're up for it. We have a 4 year old boxer/hound mix who is sweet with people but not great with other dogs. We keep him away from guest dogs, there's lots of room in the house for each dog to have their own space and still get lots of love from me and the family. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I take breaks through the day to care for puppies, whether that's a quick potty break, fun walk, or play time with balls and toys. When boarding, I make sure pups get any meds they need, plenty of time outside, and snuggles on the couch (if they're the snuggling type). I know some dogs need longer or shorter walks, and I make adjustments based on what they need.
“Destiny was a gem! She took care of my puppy with only a few days notice. He was so happy and well cared for during his stay. I will definitely use her services again!”
About: I'm Ada. I've been taking care of dogs, children and seniors for about ten years. I really enjoy it. I have had jobs in which people relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets. I am also known to take the them to the dog park. I currently have open availablity and can fit pet care into my schedule at any time. I don't have any restrictions as of right now. I live in an apartment so I don't have a yard, however I do take pets to the dog park that I watch. They are free to be on the furniture and the bed. And I do not put them in cages or leave them alone.
“Thank you so much to Shanea and family for caring for our Boy during a busy trip, and being so lovely and patient with a rapidly changing schedule. We would definitely book Shanea again anytime we are in town!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life from puppies to rescues! I've also been a grooming salon manager in Ithaca for 9 years. I've cared for many different breeds, ages, temperaments, and quirks all dogs have and I love them all the same. I have two dogs of my own Luke and Yoda. Luke is a 6 year old lab mix around 35 lbs. He is very loving and playful. Yoda is a 5 year old miniature fox terrier mix who has unlimited energy and is the sweetest snuggler. I am home all day with my baby and two dogs of my own so I can give the same care to some extra dogs! I treat every dog as if they are my own. I have lots of extra blankets to make sure they have there own space (i do recommend to bring some of there stuff like blankets, beds, and toys to make them more comfortable) and have extra room to separate them if they need to be alone. I will always make sure they are comfortable, happy, loved, and safe!
About: I have a small dog, an indoor piggy, and a caged bird. I have grown up with pets, and always make sure they are properly taken care of. I love all animals, and strive to provide them the best stay possible. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur babies! I enjoy walking in the morning and evening, and if your pup enjoys that they can tag along! The animals will be taken care of just as my own. My dog is spoiled, and loves to snuggle. She’s is not aggressive towards other dogs, she just prefers humans. The animals are allowed on furniture and allowed to sleep in bed with Charlie and myself; as my home is their home for the duration of their stay!
“Susan kept in touch with me on my dog's first day care try. My dog did not get along with the other dog, so she kept them separated until I could get there to pick my dog up. Susan was very patient with him and kept him company. The problem was my dog and I will contact her again for a solo stay.”
About: I've always had dogs & cats growing up. Recently, my husband & I rescued a puppy from North Carolina, named Mack. He is the light of our life. I love to be around dogs, and want to ensure they get the best care, whether that be walking or playing ball/fetch, or just snuggles. My goal of Rover is to be the home away from home for your fur babies. I want to ensure that you know/are reassured your fur babies are well loved, cared for, and looked after. I want to ensure that we form relationships, so that you have peace of mind I currently work full time about 20 minutes from my home, which allows me a greater radius to care for your loved one. I work M-F 8am-4pm (roughly), so I am available for any after work or weekend assistance. I have a fully fenced in yard for my dog to play in. We play ball multiple times throughout the day. He is up to date on his vaccines, and we ensure that he receives any care he might need. I am trained to notice any significant behaviors or concerns, and will address this ASAP.
About: Have over 10+ years. Having owned my own dogs. Ready to care for yours ! New to town here, excited to make new friends for my pup! I’m a Stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of the time. To dedicate to your pet. Love to walk in the neighborhood here too. We take walks, go for hikes, play outside in the fenced backyard. Or just relax in the living room and be couch potatoes. Or I can come to you and do the same.
“Chantal is a fabulous rover who always takes such sweet care of my puppy. He absolutely loves her and warmed up to her within minutes at our meet and greet. Chantal follows directions and provides great care with updates. Kind, intuitive, and nurturing she provided excellent care while my puppy recovered from a stomach bug. He gets excited every time we pull up to her home and happily awaits weekly visits. Great rover reliable and sincere, she completely turned our Rover experience around after a negative experience with a different Rover the first time we used the app. Repeat customer, we can always count on Chantal to offer amazing services.”

“Kaylee is so sweet and loving to all our dogs. She is super attentive to each one's individual needs, and extra caring of our senior pup with a brace on one of his paws. Due to a family emergency recently, we had to book last minute for a few days -- and they were very helpful, fitting us into their schedule immediately! We are lucky to have found such a great match, making us confident that our dogs are in great hands whenever they go on walks with Kaylee.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was young, I’ve had a genuine love for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to more exotic pets. I truly believe every animal deserves to be treated with patience, kindness, and proper care. I currently have two dogs of my own, one rescue and one I’ve raised since a puppy. They are a huge part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and understanding each animal’s unique needs and personality. As a pet caregiver, my goal is to provide the same level of love, attention, and quality care that I would want for my own pets. I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every animal I interact with, while giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. I currently work nights as a registered nurse, which gives me daytime availability throughout the week to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am available daily during daytime hours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Due to my work schedule and commute, I am generally unavailable after 5 PM and overnight, but I work 3 days per week which allows me 4 days to provide care. The days that I work each week do vary, so feel free to contact me for specifics. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and fully present during the time I spend caring for each pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets and being in your home, so I strive to provide dependable, respectful, and attentive care at all times. Because I have a dog at home who is not comfortable around other dogs, I currently focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in clients’ homes rather than boarding. I believe many pets are most comfortable in their own familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routine and feel secure while their owners are away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, personality, routines, and any safety concerns to ensure they receive personalized care. Whether it’s keeping dogs safely leashed on walks, monitoring behavior and comfort levels, or maintaining a clean and calm environment during visits, I aim to provide loving care and peace of mind for both pets and their owners.
“My dog spent very good time with Rachel. Rachel is the best dog walker I have ever met. She visited us before we leave and try to learn as much as possible about our dog. She kept us updated about Brownie’s status and always kept an eye on Brownie’s water bowl after every walk. I definitely will come back to Rachel again next time.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up with large breed dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and more so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to my home being filled with animals growing up, i have spent several years volunteering at my local cat shelter. I take pride in knowing im that person my friends and family can always count on to watch their beloved pet while away. Whether your pet needs long walks, active playtime, cuddles, a strict routine or calm companionship, I adapt to their individual needs as well as yours. Booking with me will include not only peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands but you can count on receiving TONS of pet updates, photos & videos while your away. With my entire heart, your pets will be treated like family with me! 💗 I am self employed and so my hours are extremely flexible. It allows me to build my schedule how i need and so i am able to accommodate as necessary. My home has no other pets so its a purfect oasis for your pet while you’re away. Or if youd prefer i come to your place, ill treat it like my own!

I love spending time with pets and can send you daily photos at their cutest moments :)
“My dogs loved McKayla and she took wonderful care of them. She was also very commutative and I appreciated the daily updates. Will absolutely be hiring her again and I highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Coleman! By day, I research global catastrophic risks but my most important job? Making sure your dog is taken care of as well as absolutely possible! I've spent 8 years walking, sitting, and caring for pets of every temperament — anxious rescues, high-energy huskies, suspicious cats who take three days to warm up to anyone. Animals have always been my reset button from heavy intellectual work, and I bring that same obsessive attention to detail to every pet in my care. As a Cornell researcher and lifelong animal lover, I treat your pet the way I'd want the world's most conscientious person to treat them — with patience, structure, genuine affection, and no shortcuts. Your dog can't interview their sitter. But you can. I'm an open book. My schedule is extremely flexible! From early morning walks to long weekend (or more!) long house stays, I can make most any schedule work for my clients! I treat the animals I watch with care, considerations, and importantly with plenty of affection. But I also recognize every animal is unique and requires an individual approach, so I strive to interact with any pets, new or old, familiar or not, big or small, with the care they deserve!
About: Hey! I'm Yazmeen. I've been petsitting for the last 8 years. I started with my sister and continued on my own. I have experience giving medication and with senior dogs as well as kittens. I love a long walk if the dog is up for it, and I'm always down to play and snuggle. Let me know if you're interested! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I I usually wake up early, so I don't mind an early walk or feeding schedule. I typically go to bed around 11pm-midnight, but I am happy to work around a pet's schedule, especially to accommodate any medications or weather. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so I always do a thorough clean before I leave a petsitting gig (including washing sheets, so you can go straight to bed!) I can also bring in mail and water plants if you give me a watering schedule.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities for a large portion of my life - from when I was a kid in Jersey until last year, when my sweet and challenging pit bull, Hudson passed away. The fourteen years I spent with him taught me everything I could possibly want to know about how to care for a dog. I love and miss him so. I'm not in a position to adopt a new dog of my own yet, but spending time with yours would be the next best thing! I have a part-time job at a local artist residency with flexible hours. I have my own car and am available for multiple services at various times each day of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a large dog crate, 2 dog beds, and plenty of toys. I'm an extremely trustworthy person and would treat any client's home with the utmost respect and care. I'm an active runner and would love to take your dog for hikes and walks with me.
About: I grew up in a household full of animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors for as long as I have been old enough. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, a rabbit, chickens and numerous other small creatures who I have loved over the years. My profile picture is of my parent's golden doodle! I am currently a physical therapy student at Ithaca College who is spending the summer here in Ithaca and looking to dog walk/sit or pet sit! I am not planning on doing any boarding of animals because of my household's allergies but I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walking!
About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends! I am available all day on Tuesday and Wednesdays as well as Thursday to Monday before 4pm. I can walk in the mornings and afternoons. I am also able to do overnights if needed. I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls! They are now 16 months and LOVE visiting with your animals. Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.
“Katherine was super communicative, professional, and our dogs loved spending time with her! She has amazing experience and background that make her such a trustworthy and great option for any pup care. Highly recommend!”

While in your home I provide mental and physical stimulation for your animals along with attentive care. I own my own home in the country where your pets will be taken care of. There is a lot of land for long dog walks in nature and for play. No other pets, traffic, people or circumstances will bother yours at my house. :)

“Alex took such great care of my dog! He provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved.”
About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.
“I am fully comfortable leaving Marley with Andrea. During her stay, Marley had some stomach issues, and Andrea kept me updated the entire time. Sometimes after staying with a sitter, Marley can be a bit clingy. You would not know I was gone with how relaxed she was when I returned. I highly recommend Andrea!”
“I was nervous leaving my puppy with someone for the first time, but was quickly put at ease. Destiny sent updates and photos, and made him feel right at home. Will definitely be using Destiny again!”
“Rose was great and very easy to deal with. She took great care of our Griff and he loved playing ball and was tired out. I would definetely reccommend her. Very friendly and appreciative and loves animals.”
“Steve and Patty were great, I highly recommend them!! Steve took the time out to listen to my dogs needs and even gave me some wonderful advice on some behavioral issues, my Roxy had a wonderful time! Steve and Patty cared about my dog as if she was their own ❤️”
“Claudia took great care of my Hank! She sent lots of pictures and updates and went above and beyond to care for my senior dog in giving him his medication, taking him on walks, and giving him treats. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Kathy and Tim took care of Bodie over Thanksgiving week and our pooch had a great stay! We received daily updates and photos and we could tell he felt quite at home. Their dog, Bailey, is well-mannered and friendly to people and other dogs - not a concern at all for Bodie (who's a bit picky about other dogs). We are THRILLED we found a very comfortable and caring home-away-from-home for Bodie and already have plans to bring him back next month. Thank you!!”
“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Super grateful I found Ray to dog-sit for Maya! I really did feel like she was on doggy-vacation with all the activities they did. My dog is very active so I am really glad to find someone who will keep up with her energy and take her on lots of fun hikes and swims. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“As always, our boys Richard and Philip had an incredible time staying with Robert and Eileen! They got lots of exercise in the big fenced yard, despite the tundra-like conditions, and we got detailed updates every day with cute photos and videos. Richard even learned to fetch! Robert and Eileen are gems, and I would leave them a 10 star review if I had the option!”
“Susan took great care of our little dog! She was very loving and sent pictures regularly. She is also very responsive to texts and calls. I would definitely book her services again.”
“My pup had the absolute best time staying with Mikia! I could tell he missed her when I took him home. Mikia provided a ton of photo updates of my dog just having a blast, and as a bonus the photos are great and ones that I'll keep forever. HIGHLY recommend, super cozy family environment with an outdoor space and a super friendly dog of their own. Will definitely book again.”
“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Ziggy had a fantastic time spending the weekend with Jessica & fam. We’ll definitely turn to them first next time we need to find care for our pup. They were extremely communicative and we loved getting the photo and video updates throughout the weekend.”
