“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!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Sally you are the best with care of my pups! They are eager to enter your home, and clearly enjoyed your company and social time! They come back tired, loving your yard and in great health. Thank you so much! JO”
“Loni did great with my boy! He is always a nervous wreck when I leave.... Loni did great in making sure to give him some space and give a comfortable environment. She had great communication throughout the day as well. Even sent a few pics, which was nice! Highly recommended!”
“Leslie is a very caring pet sitter (and person). Her love of dogs is evident and a great attribute for a pet sitter. This was our first time staying with Leslie and we have already booked another stay. I feel fortunate to have found Leslie and feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
“Our pup’s one week stay with John and Shannon was excellent. They provided lots of outdoor time and walks for our very active dog, and provided daily updates. Highly recommended.”
“I have left my elderly (but active) dog with Will and Bibiana twice so far for week-long trips, and he really seems to love it there! They’re very accommodating and send daily updates/pictures. They have a nice outdoor area for him, as well as lots of areas for him to lounge inside. They also took him on walks. Their home seems very clean too. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Watched my anxiety riddled dog for a week with no problems! I received updates throughout the week and Abigail was very organized in helping make sure my dog has everything he needed to have a good visit. He was also sound asleep when I brought him home within 5 minutes from all the playtime. Definitely recommend and I will use again myself!”
“Bill & Mary were super accommodating with our schedule & arrangements from meet & greet to drop-off & pickup. We haven't left our 2 fur babies with a sitter for a couple yrs now & were nervous to leave them for 8 days in a new home. After meeting with Bill & Mary, we knew our dogs would be in the best of hands! It made for a nice family vacation to know they were well taken care of. They shared pictures/updates during the stay & upon return you could just tell our pups had nothing short of a great time. Highly recommend & will use Bill & Mary for upcoming stays!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“Angela was great. This was our first time using this app and she was amazing. Very communicative, sent pictures and updates and even gave Frosty a bath. I would recommend and definitely return to Angela again. Frosty loved it!!”
“My dog had a great time at Nicholas & Emily's and I appreciate receiving several pictures and updates every day of his stay. Would definitely recommend their services.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Kelly and Bandit were so great with Jasper!!! Kelly provided great updates and lots of pictures. She was so easy to work with and very accommodating! Definitely recommend Kelly for your pup!”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Rita and Brian are caring, highly competent dog lovers. My Emmie absolutely loves them, and I always feel 100% comfortable leaving her in their care. An added bonus is how they have worked to help Emmie overcome her reluctance to trust other dogs. I'm very grateful!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Scott was so wonderful with my kitty, Chester. He took such good care of him! I received daily pictures and updates. He was also very communicative and worked with me on a little later pick up time. Thank you Scott!!”

About: I've taken care of my cats since I was 10. When I typically pet sit my dogs, I will always watch my cats too. My roommate also has a cat who I adore and take care of when she's in class/home for the weekend.
“Marilyn did drop-in visits for my senior kitty while I was out of town for a wedding, and she did a great job! My cat is like 100yrs old, lol, so she has some health problems and requires oral medications. Have you ever given a stubborn, geriatric cat pills? It's not easy, but Marlyn got it done! She also asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet and was very thorough in wanting to know everything possible about how to take care of my cat. Marlyn is kind, caring, and follows directions well. I appreciate all that she did, and I would have her back anytime.”
“Our dog Hank had a great drop in visit with Josh! He won’t stop asking when he’ll see his new friend again. Josh was great! His communication is stellar and he spent some good quality time with our boy.”
About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover offering reliable drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and reptiles. As the proud owner of a dachshund, a corgi, and a bearded dragon, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a potty break and playtime, your cat needs company and care while you're away, or your reptile needs feeding and habitat checks, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. You can count on me for attentive care, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you can travel with peace of mind.
About: I have a cat of my own whom I adore, so I understand the special care and attention cats need. I’m experienced in feeding, playing with and providing a calm, loving environment to keep your feline friends comfortable and happy while you’re away.
“Our cat loved Carol. We appreciated her adherance to our kitty's dietary needs and her willingness to pick up our mail for us, too. She provided timely communication and photos as well.”
“Leaving a cat at home for a week isn't fun for any pet owner, but I knew my little guy was in great hands which made it so much easier! He was extremely well taken care of, and Carina went above and beyond taking care of him and the home. Highly recommend her for long duration cat sitting, Carina is extremely reliable and gives terrific updates.”
About: Growing up with rescues and shelter dogs, ranging from 20-100lbs, I’ve always had a love for dogs. No matter what experience or pasts they have come from, I was always quick to form a bond with each pet my family and I have. Whether you are looking for someone to care for a senior dog needing a bit more patience and attention to medical needs, or an active and alert, playtime companion…you’ve found it with me! I have cared for family pets needing a special diet, set schedule and daily walks—to friends, coworkers and outside referrals for overnight stays or check in’s, and my favorite- walks! I believe that exercise is the best medicine and not to worry if your dog has certain triggers or lacks some leash manners. I can tailor walks to what your dog needs and enjoys. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I currently work in the office on a hybrid schedule 3x per week, so I have some flexibility during the week with times I can check in, and evenings are easy to schedule. My weekends are almost always available! In my home, I have a Pit/husky mix. However over the 8 years of being my own dog parent, I have hosted German shepards, Belgian malinois, hounds, and other pitbull mixes. I know how to administer medications and apply topical ointments if needed. I also understand if your pet(s) need certain accommodations or requests like avoiding other dogs on walks, and certain things he or she likes or doesn’t like.
About: I welcomed my first cat into my family 25 years ago. You can feel comfortable to leave your loved pet with me. I’m happy to clean litter boxes, feed and water, play with, pet, or just cuddle with your kitty.
“This is the first time I had Shirine come out and watch my two fur babies. She came over for a meet and greet prior to her watching the cats. She was very easy to talk to about all my concerns regarding my two cats and their anxiety issues. I felt at ease once I met her in person. While I was gone Shirine checked in to give me updates via texts on Cooper and CeCe and even sent pictures a few times so I could see how they were doing. When I came home the cats were fine and the house was as I left it. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!”
About: I grew up with a cat, so I’ve been around feline care from a young age, and I’ve continued spending time with friends’ cats over the years. Through that, I’ve gotten comfortable with different personalities, from affectionate cats who love attention to more independent or shy ones who need space. I understand the importance of respecting a cat’s boundaries and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m attentive to feeding routines, playtime, and keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I also pay close attention to behavior so I can make sure your cat is comfortable and doing well while you’re away. I take the time to let cats warm up to me naturally and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Galena
“Fantastic experience! Upper dare care provided on short notice. Our puppy was worn out after a day of play. Very pleased with the care Anna (Xi) provided. Very conscientious, asked all the questions to make sure our puppy’s experience was maximized. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon was great! She communicated with us well and gave us updates on how our puppy was doing. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and our puppy loved her.”
About: I feel that they have such a beautiful and special connection with their owners, which for me is something wonderful and I know how difficult it is to leave it with someone else, but with me your pets will be in good hands. With my fur baby your baby will have a good game time! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to attend to your fur baby needs. I am available for booking on weekdays and weekends at any time I have a patio with a roof where they can play all day and spend their energy, I also have everything your baby needs like food and water bolw, bed and a cage if need it
“What a fabulous experience with Zach! He spent time with our virtual meet and greet making minor adjustments to assure Coleman’s safety and my comfort. He understands how much pets mean as family members and works hard to accommodate. His place is set up to care for pups in separate areas if necessary. Lots of photos and video throughout the stay. I highly recommend him.”
About: I have had a dog growing up ever since I was a little girl. I have always puppy sat for past neighbors and family members and treat them as my own! I love dogs, always have and now have my own Bernese mountain dog and chocolate lab! Very available and flexible with time to help care for your fur babies! I can provide as many potty breaks as needed- also have a dog park within our apartment neighborhood! As always I will treat any home I enter with the greatest respect and caution and will welcome mine to any dog I dog sit!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys caring for dogs like they’re part of the family! I grew up with three cats and later had a Beagle, Pippin, who was with us for 14 sweet years. For the past 5 years, we’ve regularly hosted dogs in our home, and we love the joy and energy they bring to our daily life! I work part-time and my husband works from home, so someone is almost always here. This allows us to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and flexibility for your dog’s needs and routine. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, or just relaxing, we’re happy to match their pace. I especially enjoy daily walks and quiet time on the deck with our dog guests, where they can safely take in all the sights and sounds. We generally only watch one pup at a time so they will enjoy exclusive love and attention while they’re here! We have a large backyard that backs up to a bike path—perfect for walks and outdoor time. Our neighborhood is very safe, dog-friendly, and located close to a park. We also have three responsible teenage boys who love helping play with and care for the dogs, so your pup will get lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re here. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and keep you informed so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I currently work part-time and my husband works from home so we are very flexible and available to take excellent care of your pup! Your dog will be cared for in a safe, welcoming, and engaging home environment! We have a large backyard that provides plenty of space to roam, play, and relax, all while being set in a peaceful area that backs up to a bike path we frequently enjoy for walks. Our home is in a very safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with easy access to a nearby park, giving your pup even more opportunities for fresh air and exercise in a secure setting. Inside, your dog will be surrounded by lots of love and attention—our three responsible teenage boys truly enjoy spending time playing with and caring for dogs, adding to the warm, family-oriented atmosphere. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be in a secure, active, and caring environment where their safety, comfort, and happiness are always a top priority!
“WOW! Such a wonderful experience with Kristine!! She was able to help me out LAST MINUTE with my pup! She was SO kind and amazing! She sent updates and pictures that gave me so much comfort! My dog had the best time with her, her family, and her pups! I think my dog would’ve stayed another couple days if it was up to her! I would recommend Kristine’s services 100 times over if I could!!😊♥️🐾”
“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 grew up with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens, etc.) so I have always been around animals. I have done dog sitting before for the past 2 years. I grew up with 2-3 dogs in the home at all times. I just got into training my dog we have at home so I have some experience training dogs but not a lot. I have experience with all ages of dogs, I love all the ages!! Since I’m currently in college online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, potty breaks and I’m home often, so pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare, boarding, walks, feeding, playtime, and general care based on your pet’s needs. I make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I am responsible, attentive, and always make sure each pet is supervised and cared for properly. I also understand how important trust is, so I provide regular photo and message updates to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. We currently have one dog in the home, we are fostering her but might keep her to adopt. She is a 2 year old, husky/german shepard mix! She loves to play and have fun. LIVE ON BASE!! If you can’t get on, we can schedule a time that works for both of us to meet for pick up/drop off!
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.
“We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!”
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”
About: I've pet sit for many friends and family including walking, feeding, playing, and more! I care for all animals and love giving snuggles as well as lots of pets! I work part time at the outlet mall a few days a week and get out around 8:30 but I am mostly free around that! I have one crazy doberman at home and have pet sit shy dogs as well as very playful! I care for all of them equally and will cater to any needs your baby might need.
About: I have 3 kids, 8, 6 and 9 month old. We had a mini goldendoodle, she passed away sept 2021 :( So, this helps fill our hearts until we decide we want to add another to our family 🥰 We have had so much fun meeting new people and pups!! My kids absolutely enjoy walking and sitting the dogs with me! I work full time as a Kroger manager. I write my own scheudle so I'm very flexible with days and times I can walk or dog sit. I have a huge fenced in yard and live close to the dam & dog park. I'm willing to travel if close to my area! My husband and i work opposite shifts,, so someone is always here with your dog. I'm available weekends! We are a very active family and would love to add your dog to our routines. I ha e a fenced in yard. We currently do not have any animals, we always do meet and greets to make sure any dog we keep are trustworthy and not aggressive.
About: In addition to growing up with both dogs and cats of my own, I have been caring for pets through Rover for nearly 8 years now and I know exactly how much work goes into taking care of man's best friend! Whether you have an energetic puppy, a special needs senior, or family felines, I am here to help! I'm WFH full-time and am able to offer boarding and doggy daycare for small breeds only (under 15lbs due to weight restrictions at my apartment, house-trained, and not prone to loud barking or urine marking), but since I have two cats with limited space, I require a meet and greet in my home prior to booking. While I do offer house sitting and drop-in visits, I have a diabetic cat that requires insulin injections 8am & 8pm which does mean I have to stay pretty local for overnight & prefer no more than 5 nights (also if you have a diabetic cat too, I got you!). House sitting rates includes staying in your home around the clock, aside from my twice a day trips home and any errands or other drop-ins I might have. If 30-60 min drop ins are too short for your fur baby's needs, please select house sitting option and I will work with you to stay in the home as much as you need even if overnights aren't necessary :) When first meeting clients I like to do a thorough walk-through of everything there is to know about their pup's feeding and walking schedule as well as about the home (alarms, spare keys, guest room etc.) that way I have less questions for the owner while they are away and can confidently jump into the dog's regular routine without any hiccups.
“Georgia was well taken care of by Yoniray and family. It was our first time using Rover, but Yoniray made us feel at easy with updates and pictures throughout the day. I would recommend Yoniray to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog.”
“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.”
“Katherine took great care of my pup. She took her on a long walk and even to a stream. I really appreciate the attention and care she provided. Thank you, Katherine!”

“Elizabeth is a wonderful pet sitter...the other day storms came in suddenly and she provided his medication in a correct timely caring way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER to be trusted in all situations with your fur babies.”
“Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽”

About: My 14yo Dachshund-mix has been in my family since her puppy years, and in her old age I wanted to maximize her health-span/quality of life.

They'll always be under supervision.
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I work from home so I can prioritize your pets needs around the clock. My schedule can work seamlessly with puppies or small dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. At home, I care for my own dog like family. I have a Frenchie who I absolutely adore, and her daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and visits to the park so she can stay active and social. She’s very friendly, gentle, and loves being around other dogs, so she’s a great example of the calm, positive environment I aim to provide for any pets in my care

“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”

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!”

“Our pup’s one week stay with John and Shannon was excellent. They provided lots of outdoor time and walks for our very active dog, and provided daily updates. Highly recommended.”
“I have left my elderly (but active) dog with Will and Bibiana twice so far for week-long trips, and he really seems to love it there! They’re very accommodating and send daily updates/pictures. They have a nice outdoor area for him, as well as lots of areas for him to lounge inside. They also took him on walks. Their home seems very clean too. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Watched my anxiety riddled dog for a week with no problems! I received updates throughout the week and Abigail was very organized in helping make sure my dog has everything he needed to have a good visit. He was also sound asleep when I brought him home within 5 minutes from all the playtime. Definitely recommend and I will use again myself!”
“Bill & Mary were super accommodating with our schedule & arrangements from meet & greet to drop-off & pickup. We haven't left our 2 fur babies with a sitter for a couple yrs now & were nervous to leave them for 8 days in a new home. After meeting with Bill & Mary, we knew our dogs would be in the best of hands! It made for a nice family vacation to know they were well taken care of. They shared pictures/updates during the stay & upon return you could just tell our pups had nothing short of a great time. Highly recommend & will use Bill & Mary for upcoming stays!”
“My dog had a great time at Nicholas & Emily's and I appreciate receiving several pictures and updates every day of his stay. Would definitely recommend their services.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Kelly and Bandit were so great with Jasper!!! Kelly provided great updates and lots of pictures. She was so easy to work with and very accommodating! Definitely recommend Kelly for your pup!”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”
“Angela was a 100 out of 10! I don’t even think our dog wanted to come home after spending the week with her and her lovely family. We received great photos and updates on our girl daily which made it really easy to enjoy our vacation. As an extremely particular couple, with no children, Lux is the center of our universe and felt completely at ease while she was with Angela. We’ve found someone who we can completely trust and there is no greater feeling than being able to truly relax and know the most important price of your heart is being cared for. Thank you Angela and family!!! Lux misses you already!”
“Megan was fantastic with our doodle, Luna. She was attentive, kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the stay, and made sure Luna was happy and comfortable. We could tell Luna enjoyed her time with her. Highly recommend Megan!”
“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”
“Joe is our regular sitter for our senior dog when we go out of town. Leaving our dog shamu used to be stressful because of his separation anxiety, but Joe and him have formed a bond and now traveling is stress free for both shammy and us. He enjoys his stays with Joe and Duke so it is like he is getting a vacation too!”
“Max was in very capable hands! He was able to socialize with some other dogs, which was a new experience for him. Karl made him very comfortable. Best boarding experience, yet! Thanks!”
“Liwei was absolutely incredible! She sent frequent updates and clearly took amazing care of our two dogs. Both our pups have anxiety but Liwei and her daughter made sure they knew all the things our dogs needed to feel safe and comfortable for their week stay. We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.”
