“Bill & Mary did a super job in keeping our Toby happy! They sent us pictures everyday, which was very helpful in easing our minds about the care of our Toby. This is the 1st time we have ever used this service. Thankyou Bill and Mary, for doing such a great job in taking care of our Toby!”
“We needed to find last minute boarding and Scott was amazing! Ηe provided updates and photos of our dog! Highly recommend and will definitely be using him again for future vacations!”
“This is the first time that I’ve boarded my dog with positive results. In the past my dog would be sick from anxiety, separation, get kennel cough, etc. she did fantastic with Tina who kept us updated and sent pictures every day. I’ll definitely board with Tina in the future”
“Joe was phenomenal with our German Shepherd, Heidi. With this only being the second time we’ve had to leave Heidi alone, some separation anxiety was expected. However, Joe is very patient and attentive, making Heidi feel right at home during our trip out of state. She really warmed up to him and ended up following him everywhere! Joe made sure to provide us with pictures and updates throughout her stay to put our minds at ease while we were away. With all of her energy, the fenced in backyard and the friendly resident dog-in-charge, Duke, were also great to have. I would highly recommend Joe for your dog-sitting needs, big or small!”
“Deanna was patient with our 7 months puppy who needed extra love and attention! She kept us updated with pictures and images. Our puppy even bonded with her pack! They came home happy and well.”
“She took great care of our girl Sadie, she was great at sending updates and pictures, made our trip worry free. Sadie had a great time with Lauren and her dog Nala! Will definitely use Lauren again!”
“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Ashliegh was fantastic with our puppy. Couldn’t ask for better care and trust. She constantly sent us pictures and kept us update on how our puppy was doing. She is the best!”
“Elizabeth is great! My dog Calypso stayed with her for an extended weekend and Elizabeth updated me each day. Definitely will return😊Thanks again!”
“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Sally is nothing short of amazing. She has taken care of our two pit rescues over the holidays and each time she has done such a wonderful job. Our girls are polar opposite in the exercise department and she was able to tailor walks to both of them. She kept us informed on a regular basis and sent lots of picture updates. It is clear she is very experienced and truly passionate about animals. I would 1000% recommend Sally and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you!”
“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“Abby and Steve are rockstar pet sitters! Sylvie stayed with them for a week and was treated like family. Abby kept us in the loop the entire time with awesome daily photo updates of Sylvie and her new bestie, Winnie. Thank you both so much for giving us total peace of mind while we were away!”
“Joy deserves recognition. She did a superior job and she cared. These days that becomes a gem in a world of self entitled fools...she deserves credit. I will return with my lovable dog many times...Ty Joy!”
“From the moment we stepped into Cristi’s home, we could tell our pup felt comfortable and loved. Cristi sent frequent updates and photos through out the stay. She really went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was getting spoiled and loved on while we were away which is all we could’ve ever wanted! Will definitely be using Cristi everytime we need a dog sitter!!!!”
“Jamie cared for our dogs while we were out of town, and she is fantastic. She sent a ton of pictures so we could see what they were up to. It looks like she walked and played with our dogs the whole weekend. When we picked them up from her house, they were calm and happy. We will definitely ask Jamie to take care of our dogs again. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Jamie is truly wonderful!”
“Leslie was amazing. Treats our dogs like family. Gave extra attention when our puppy’s stomach was upset with his first day away, but they were so great about it. Dogs had a great weekend and so did we knowing they were in safe hands!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She was engaging, communicative and flexible. We felt extremely reassured throughout the process. We highly recommend her!”
“Shelby does a great job with our dog! She has come multiple times and always does a great job with him and communicates with us about him. Our dog has anxiety and Shelby does amazing with calming him and comforting him when we are gone.”
“She is great as always. Has always been available when we've needed her and makes both my cats happy when she arrives (you can tell by the pics she sends us daily). Highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs.

“This is the 3rd time we have hired Alicia to watch our furbabies while we were out of town. She always does a great job of taking care of all of their special needs. We worry less about them knowing we have someone reliable to check on them. We will continue to hire Alicia as long as she's available!”
About: I’ve had large dogs my whole life. From training a puppy to adopting a dog. Also taking care of healthy and pets who are sick or need some extra attention with medications or disabilities. I work full time as a nurse and am currently working on my masters. Taking care of your pets and walking them is a way I can relax and get outside. I ask that clients leave instructions on how exactly they want their pets cared for, and will follow those instructions exactly. Safety for your pet is my number one priority.
About: I have cared for my neighbors’ cats since I was a kid, along with my family’s own cats. I LOVE cats & adopted my own in college. I am patient with them, loving, reliable & respect specific cats’ needs. I just want to make them feel comfortable and loved!

“Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.”
“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”
“We recently had Tina watch our toy aussiedoodle Roo. I can happily say that Roo did well on her first day of daycare. Tina has a wonderful fenced in yard, a beautiful open concept home with lots of dog toys for their enjoyment. Tina is a very knowledgeable sitter and I will definitely use her again for future daycare visits and boarding.”
About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Kyla did an amazing job with Finn! He had a great time and came home worn out every day. Kyla communicates well and I love the updates she sends during the day. It reassuring our puppy is in safe hands and cared for during every stay with Kyla. We will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Jodi responded right away after I inquired last minute about a daycare stay so we could explore the area while passing through on a road trip. Our doggy was slowly introduced to the other dogs, who were all so friendly, and she immediately ran off to play. She sent me pictures throughout the day of all the fun our dog was having and she was so tired on the way home. If we’re ever in the area again, I’d bring our dog back in a heart beat!”
“Will and Bibiana are the best. They have treated my puppy Nella like their own. They have helped Nella and I beyond what I could have hoped. Would recommend to anyone for the best care! Thank you guys so much for all the help!!”
About: I have lived on a farm since I was born until college, and my parents still live on one. I love all animals and always willing to help out. I don’t mind if they are wild puppies or older dogs we will get though the walk or stay together! I only work 2 days a week, so my schedule is pretty open! I have a very large back yard not fenced in, but I can take out all dogs on a leash.I have one other dog that your dog can play with or we can play inside to make sure everyone stays safe! I plan on walking them throughout the neighborhood. If I go to a clients house whatever the clients wants me to do to best care for their dog I will.
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“This was an outstanding experience and we will gladly trust our dog (Miss Maya) with Jennifer and family in the future. We booked last minute but she was quick to respond and accommodate us. Throughout her stay, we received frequent updates — a lot of pictures and videos. Jennifer watched Miss Maya for us two days in a row while work on the house was being done. In the car ride out on the second day, Miss Maya was anxious (we’d bounced around to different locations for over a week). Once we got to Jennifer’s home, however, she immediately relaxed. She trotted up to the door, tail wagging, and was clearly pleased to be back for another day. Jennifer’s children were so gentle and kind with Miss Maya. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you for taking such good care of Miss Maya!”
“This is my first time using Rover and Ashliegh was great to work with. My dog had a great time playing with her kids and she sent updated pictures often (which I appreciated). Happy to have found her!”
About: Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home. I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.
About: Hi, I’m Ariel—a lifelong Ohio resident, entrepreneur, and proud dog mom of 10+ years. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day for dogs staying in my home or while caring for pets in their own home. Our home is shared with my sweet daughter and two friendly miniature dachshunds, creating a calm, family-oriented environment where many dogs quickly feel comfortable. Whether your pup is staying for doggy daycare, overnight boarding, or you’re looking for someone to care for your pets while staying in your home, I strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were part of my own family—with patience, affection, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I run my own business from home, so I’m able to build dog walks and visits into my day while still keeping a consistent schedule. It’s something I genuinely enjoy because it gets me outside and allows me to spend time caring for dogs throughout the week. I care for every pet with patience and attention to their individual needs. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. I also live on a quiet street, which makes walks calm and relaxed. I always follow the routines and preferences owners share with me, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise needs, or specific instructions for their pet’s comfort. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, helping my parents to take care of ours as a young teen. I adopted Charlie, my hound mix, and spent 12 incredible years with her. Hi! I am currently working from home, full time, and will be able to provide your dog with the best in home care, including lots of daytime walks! I am close to a park and am able to take your dog on long walks as well. I live a sweet community in Blacklick with lots of space for walks and play. I am close to an amazing park, great for long walks with the pups. I work from home and am able to love on your dog, all day long!

About: Growing up on a 5-acre farm, I've raised all types of animals from cats to dogs or even pigs and horses. I have experience with shepherd dogs, pugs and bulldogs, st. Bernards and rottweilers, elderly pets, puppies and kittens, nursing and pregnant mamas, and so on! I also have taken care of horses, dogs, cats, and ferrets when house-sitting. My schedule is very flexible. My job requires time out of the office multiple times a day and I can always check in for a potty break. My evenings and weekends are always clear and if something comes up, I always communicate and have a back up plan. When I am taking care of your pet in your home, I will prioritize your family’s specific needs and respect any rules you have in place.
About: I love my dog and 3 cats, but have room in my heart to love many more! Your pets will be healthy and safe in my care. Whether throwing a ball, playing with toys or just snuggling together, your pet will be loved! I work from home with a flexible schedule that can fit most needs. I live on the east side of Columbus and I can easily travel locally. I have a proven track record of being reliable and conscientious. I realize I am a guest in your home and respect your home and property. I will always lock up when I leave and ensure pets are safely inside.
“Elizabeth has cared for my dogs and cat many times over the years! She always goes above and beyond!!!! I highly recommend her! She is responsible.... caring and loves animals! She is 100 reliable!”
“Camryn was wonderful with our Old English Sheepdogs! Not many people can handle too extra large dogs at the same time, but it was like she had been doing it her entire life. My girls absolutely loved her, and you could see her love for them. Camryn also followed instructions well, and made sure that my girls got everything that they needed. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future! Thank you Camryn!”
About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.
“Kayla is great. She’s very responsive and gives lots of feedback after each visit. I have a newly adopted dog that has some behavior issues and I wanted someone with some experience and Kayla has been able to handle anything that comes up. The dogs know when she is supposed to come and are so excited when she shows up!”
“Rachel was great with Grace! Provided us with updates on how the walks went, whether or not she was eating while we were gone, and her overall mood. The pics of Grace she included in the card were great, too! Thank a ton!”
“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

About: My name is Jordan Harris and I am an animal lover hoping to be able to make a difference in you and your pets life! I have worked with animals in my daily career for the last 10 years, beginning as a kennel technician in a large boarding facility, working in doggy daycare, grooming, and basic obedience dog training. I was promoted to General Manager in 2017 and in 2021 I left my job at the boarding facility to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. I currently am a Clinic Office Manager at a veterinary clinic where we care for cats, dogs, and exotic pets. After working in boarding for so many years, I understand that not all pets do well in a boarding facility. I am hoping to offer families and their pets the peace of mind and comfort for your pet however I can, in your home. I currently work full time, 4 days a week. I am free on the weekends and would be more than happy to discuss my weekly availability. 🙂 I do have a 5 year old daughter that may come along from time to time; however only if necessary. If your pet doesn’t do well with children please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I am comfortable dispensing medication/strict diets, and handling dogs with special needs such as behavioral, medical, etc. Tell me how your pet prefers their attention and exercise and we will do it their way!

About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 23 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!

“Bill & Mary did a super job in keeping our Toby happy! They sent us pictures everyday, which was very helpful in easing our minds about the care of our Toby. This is the 1st time we have ever used this service. Thankyou Bill and Mary, for doing such a great job in taking care of our Toby!”
“Joe was phenomenal with our German Shepherd, Heidi. With this only being the second time we’ve had to leave Heidi alone, some separation anxiety was expected. However, Joe is very patient and attentive, making Heidi feel right at home during our trip out of state. She really warmed up to him and ended up following him everywhere! Joe made sure to provide us with pictures and updates throughout her stay to put our minds at ease while we were away. With all of her energy, the fenced in backyard and the friendly resident dog-in-charge, Duke, were also great to have. I would highly recommend Joe for your dog-sitting needs, big or small!”
“She took great care of our girl Sadie, she was great at sending updates and pictures, made our trip worry free. Sadie had a great time with Lauren and her dog Nala! Will definitely use Lauren again!”
“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Ashliegh was fantastic with our puppy. Couldn’t ask for better care and trust. She constantly sent us pictures and kept us update on how our puppy was doing. She is the best!”
“Elizabeth is great! My dog Calypso stayed with her for an extended weekend and Elizabeth updated me each day. Definitely will return😊Thanks again!”
“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Sally is nothing short of amazing. She has taken care of our two pit rescues over the holidays and each time she has done such a wonderful job. Our girls are polar opposite in the exercise department and she was able to tailor walks to both of them. She kept us informed on a regular basis and sent lots of picture updates. It is clear she is very experienced and truly passionate about animals. I would 1000% recommend Sally and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you!”
“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“Abby and Steve are rockstar pet sitters! Sylvie stayed with them for a week and was treated like family. Abby kept us in the loop the entire time with awesome daily photo updates of Sylvie and her new bestie, Winnie. Thank you both so much for giving us total peace of mind while we were away!”
“Joy deserves recognition. She did a superior job and she cared. These days that becomes a gem in a world of self entitled fools...she deserves credit. I will return with my lovable dog many times...Ty Joy!”
“Jamie cared for our dogs while we were out of town, and she is fantastic. She sent a ton of pictures so we could see what they were up to. It looks like she walked and played with our dogs the whole weekend. When we picked them up from her house, they were calm and happy. We will definitely ask Jamie to take care of our dogs again. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Jamie is truly wonderful!”
“Leslie was amazing. Treats our dogs like family. Gave extra attention when our puppy’s stomach was upset with his first day away, but they were so great about it. Dogs had a great weekend and so did we knowing they were in safe hands!”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”
“John, Shannon and their family took such good care of my pup while I was in vacation. They sent pictures and videos all throughout which was so nice. Crew was in such good hands. I could just tell how much fun he had while he was there. This family made it so much easier on me to leave my dog for a week and im so thankful to them and the love they showed my baby Crew.”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. She allowed extra time for pickup when our flight got in late. She kept us updated and sent pictures of Blue throughout his stay. I will definitely book with Amy again!”
“Kyla was awesome! She was flexible and watched our dog even though we booked it last minute. She took good care of our senior dog and was really nice to work with. We will be using her again in the future for sure!”
“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”
