“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.”
“Nicholas and Emily did a great job! They were responsive and accommodating of my schedule, and sent adorable picture updates every day which helped me feel at ease while I was away! Molly came home happy and very sleepy, I can tell she had a great trip! I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“We were really nervous to leave Walter with just anyone, but when we found Bill our minds were put at ease. He sent us pictures everyday and text to let us know how he was doing. He also has the perfect yard for the dogs to run around and play. We would definitely recommend him! ? You will be very happy with his care!”
“Kelsey is absolutely amazing. My dog Lilly loves going there. She shows a ton of love and affection and plays with the dogs. She also sends lots of pictures. I have used her a few times now and I highly recommend her. Just don’t steal her when I need her, lol 🤣”
“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.”
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“This AMAZING family took care of our dog while we were on vacation. We had plenty of updates and photos. I was honestly surprised Bella wanted to leave! We will be using their services every time we need a sitter. Thank you so much for loving and caring for Bella!”
“We’ve never left our dog with anyone outside the family, but I’m pretty convinced that Ellie felt like Rachel and Jeff WERE family after a week there. There are no words for how grateful we are for their excellent care! She was happy, comfortable, and loved on (I know from the pictures!), and I’m not sure she actually wanted to come back home! I sort of hate to so highly recommend Rachel and Jeff in case they get too booked up to watch Ellie again, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. We drove more than an hour to them, and after this experience, I’d have driven six. They were wonderful with Ellie but even more lovely as people. I wish I could give more than five stars, because they deserve it!”
“Megan and Jay took wonderful care of Loki! He clearly had a great time with plenty of walks and lots of backyard play. They kept me updated with great communication and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Dianne is an excellent and took care of our Zeus for 17 days. Both Shiba Inu’s had a good time. I would like to come back to her on our next visit and would recommend her!!”
“We highly recommend Sally as a pet sitter! For short visits or longer visits she is great to provide the highest level dog care! She communicates clearly and quickly and has v keen dog sense. I love having her care for my pets!”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“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!❤️”
“Liliana did an amazing job taking care of our 9 year old dog! She kept us updated with how Molly was doing and sent us daily photos. We will definitely be booking again with her in the future!”
“Loni is absolutely amazing! It's clear she has a genuine love for animals, and she took exceptional care of our fur baby while we were away. Her communication was top-notch—frequent updates and plenty of adorable pictures kept us completely at ease. I wouldn’t be surprised if our pup was a little sad to leave her care! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind and a happy pet.”

“Samantha took great care of my two cats and always kept me updated on how they were doing. You can tell she truly loves animals, even my nervous cat was comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Regan has been a life saver with our two girls. She is thorough in her reports and wonderful to our kitties. Will miss her greatly when we move out of the country. Can we take her with us?!”
“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.”
“We were so lucky to find Carol, she is very timely on visits and took great care of our senior 16 year old cat. Her friendliness and experience with animals was much appreciated. She’s a keeper.”
“Emma was very helpful with a last minute request for drop in visits for our parrot. We appreciated her responsiveness and understanding of caring for an exotic animal. She went out of her way to help with a meet and greet and being flexible on the trip dates. We would happily hire and refer her to other pet owners.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a little girl! From caring for my own 4 cats to friends and neighbors, I am a reliable care provider. Having cats of my own now, along with 5 new kittens, I am able to take care of cats from a wide age range.
“Carina took great care of my sweet kitty, who needs medication morning and night. I felt very relieved to have someone who could manage that while I was out of town. Definitely recommend.”
“Arianna impressed me from the start with her great communication before booking. She stayed overnight with my mom's two 14-year-old cats. I came home to two happy cats and a clean house. Thank you so much, Arianna!”
“Kaylyn was so helpful! My shy kitty loved her! And she was taken good care of! When I got home, she was clean and happy. This is the first time I travel for over a week, and I was so nervous about it. I was so lucky to find Kaylyn. She made it so much easier!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.

“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!”
“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.”
“Clark had the best the day with Sally! I am so happy I am able to leave my boy with her. She clearly made him feel right at home as he went right to play. What I love the most is that the safety I feel she is giving him and the comfort of his own home. She is offering her place so your dog still feels at home while they are away, and that feels really special. It takes a good person to be able to pull that off.”
“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!”
“Zach did such a phenomenal job looking after my girl Winnie! He let her play with his dogs, he helped with her training, and he was always really happy and provided good advice for my pup!”
“Yoniray and family have been great with my dog, a little Havanese. She took pictures and sent them through rover. I can tell he was given a lot of love during the stay!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi! You can call me Rose (: I’m that person who lights up whenever a dog walks into a room. More than likely, I will pet or talk to your dog before I start a conversation with you...I’ve always had dogs in my household growing up. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years which sparked my love for dogs. I have also fostered a few dogs during COVID. No matter the breed, size, age, color, I will spoil and love your dog to my fullest potential. I’m always trying to find new ways to entertain dogs wether it’s by walking, playing with a garden hose, zoomies in the backyard, whatever I can do to make sure your dog is having the time of their life while you’re away. I work from home so I am home all day during the week! I do run errands during the week but am only gone for an hour or so at a time. While I work from home, I will mainly be in my office space but will always be checking in on your doggo. I hope they would be comfortable enough to join me in my office while I work! I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks. If your dog requires or is more comfortable in a crate, I can comfortably fit one in my home as well.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and both small and large farm animals my entire life, and I’ve been fortunate to work in the veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I’ve gained extensive experience, including skills like inserting IVs, setting up fluid pumps, and administering subcutaneous, oral, and intramuscular medications in both hospital and home settings. I’ve assisted in numerous routine and emergency surgeries and procedures, providing care for animals with a wide variety of ailments. Some of the conditions include caring for diabetics, seizures, kidney disease, liver disease, URis, UTis, hyperthyroidism, ocular issues, skin issues/allergies, foreign body surgeries, fractures, ACL surgeries, obstructions, and poisonings. I love walking and caring for animals weather that mean playing with them or spoon feeding them back to health. Additionally I have also had the privilege of caring for a wide range of animals, from large and small farm animals to dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes—from energetic puppies to loving senior dogs. I've also cared for both senior cats and playful kittens, gaining valuable experience with each stage of life Please let me know what you need, and I will do everything I can to ensure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.

“Although Rose took very good care of my dog, followed up with pictures and questions, her address is a to cryptic. Her address is a general location to hundreds of apartments. Although I understand the need for privacy and security, she could state to meet her near the mini dog park 100 yards North of the Starbucks and Village Market.”
“Connie is fantastic. Tater is at her house 3 days a week. He doesn’t want to leave when I come to pick him up. He is loved and well cared for. Totally trust Connie with my Tater.”
About: Hi, I’m VJ. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own: a 6-year-old female Bernese Mountain Dog and a medium male Goldendoodle. Both are gentle, submissive, and friendly with other dogs. My Bernese especially has a sweet “mama bear” personality and is very nurturing around other pets. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and comfortable. Pets are allowed on the furniture, and I want visiting dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while they are here. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little road noise, and there is a large community park close by where I can take dogs for walks, fresh air, and playtime based on their comfort level and your instructions. I’m best suited for dogs who are potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and not destructive in the home. I like to keep a peaceful environment, so I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, my dogs, and the space. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules you share. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you feel connected while you are away. Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, and respect in a safe home environment. I work from home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and supervision. I can give dogs plenty of attention and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Your dog will be cared for like part of the family in a calm, dog-friendly home. I have two sweet, submissive dogs who are used to being around other pets. My Bernese has a gentle “mama bear” personality, and my Goldendoodle loves to play fetch. I have an invisible fence for my own dogs, but I do not rely on it for visiting pets. Guest dogs are supervised outdoors and taken out on leash unless we discuss and agree on a safe routine together. I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I also like to follow each dog’s normal feeding, potty, walk, playtime, and sleep routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and cared for while you are away.

“Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️”
About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Since caring for animals is something I genuinely love, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! House sitting and overnight stays are available on a case by case basis depending on each pet’s needs, routine, and care requirements. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care while making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.
About: I have had experience in dog sitting my friends’ dogs in the past. Now I want to do it more and give our dog more friends to play with also! Everybody wins! I can be available on weekdays in the afternoon , and weekends after 10 AM for dog sitting. I can walk dog every 2-4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard with my friendly husky named Zangy and Maltipoo named Nimbus in the house. Lots of space for dogs to play and plenty of treats.
About: I have had a dog or cat, male & female, most of my life in both urban, suburban, and rural settings. Comfortable with all breeds and needs. I’m not afraid of the dirty work and am not lazy. I will accomodate your needs and follow your instructions verbatim. I will treat your pet as my own. I have a flexible schedule that varies from week to week but I know well in advance what that will be and can control it with adequate notice. I’m gainfully employed already, but recent life changes have left me with additional free time and a need for supplemental income. I truly love animals (just check my Instagram feed...) and can handle anything. I will ensure your furbaby is treated with the same care/love that you would provide he or she.
“Fantastic service with dog walking. Communication was clear and timely. She really helped us out with a short notice request. So helpful & we truly appreciate it. We would recommend her for any dog walking services. Thank you. :) Our dog Thanks you too 🐾”
About: I’ve cared for my Standard Poodle since 2018 and pet sat a senior Yorkshire Terrier for over a week for a local family. I am open to walking, feeding, maintaining medication schedules, and home pet sitting! I work between 10am-4pm, so I have plenty of time to walk, play, and feed your pet around those hours. I am available to walk and/or pet sit at your home any day, just reach out! I will treat your pet as my own and follow your care instructions to the best of my ability. I am comfortable with free roaming or crated pets at night, and I believe in building in daily time for structured and unstructured play. This includes going on leashed walks around the neighborhood or nature hike paths, and playing games such as fetch the ball, pet puzzles, and other toys. We will create a care plan together and I will send updates with photos throughout the day.
“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!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life—to me, they’re more than pets, they’re family, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same dedication. Recently moved to Sunbury 😊 I grew up with a classic black lab named Midnight who put up with all my childhood nonsense (including but not limited to Halloween costumes and getting pulled around in a wagon for fun) - she was the pinnacle of family dogs for 14 years before we lost her to cancer. Eventually we got an American Eskimo of which I named Sage and was allowed to help train with guidance. She was loving when she wanted to be loved and learned tricks like fetching the newspaper from the end of the driveway (when that was a thing). Sage was always my buddy in middle school and high school, she filled my days with countless memories for 13 years before we had to let her go also to cancer. My family now has a tiny, sassy American Eskimo which you’ll see in pictures but in 2020 I began to look for a dog I wanted to add as the first member of my family. As soon as I saw this mini Australian Shepard I knew she was the one. She was adventurous, loving, energetic and is my absolute ride or die ❤️ I cannot picture my life without her. Throughout high school and college I volunteered at the local shelter to feed, bath or walk dogs. I had a family member who also did and sometimes we would foster dogs together if we could make it happen with work I grew up with chickens, ducks and dogs and was usually the girl to care for neighbors animals when they needed. Animals have and always will be apart of my life and family. I’m fairly flexible! I work as a contractor and just moved to Sunbury so I’m f open throughout the day and open to weekends or last minute drop ins if needed. I am happy to care for your dog or cat however you need. Every animal is different with a different personality so I’m happy to do a meet and greet so you can walk me through specifics! I have a 6 year old mini Australian Shepard that I cannot imagine my life without. She plays stick several times a day with me or goes on walks/hikes/whatever adventures. When I do my workouts in the morning I pay the treadmill treat tax and every night she gets night snacks usually in the form of a greenie. So no request is too ridiculous!

About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
About: Being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to have someone takecare of your fur babies while you're away. Someone who can shower them with attention, care and love. With over a decade's experience I'm trusted by families to provide a safe, loving and dependable care for pets of all ages. I am currently at home full time and hence have ample time to cater to these babies. Over night stays, day care or custom schedules available to fit your pet's needs. I have a friendly dog who can keep your fur baby company. We'll go out for walks, explore the neighborhood and do much more apart from just the regular potty breaks. They'll always be under supervision.

“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.”
“Nicholas and Emily did a great job! They were responsive and accommodating of my schedule, and sent adorable picture updates every day which helped me feel at ease while I was away! Molly came home happy and very sleepy, I can tell she had a great trip! I would absolutely book with them again.”
“We were really nervous to leave Walter with just anyone, but when we found Bill our minds were put at ease. He sent us pictures everyday and text to let us know how he was doing. He also has the perfect yard for the dogs to run around and play. We would definitely recommend him! ? You will be very happy with his care!”
“Kelsey is absolutely amazing. My dog Lilly loves going there. She shows a ton of love and affection and plays with the dogs. She also sends lots of pictures. I have used her a few times now and I highly recommend her. Just don’t steal her when I need her, lol 🤣”
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“This AMAZING family took care of our dog while we were on vacation. We had plenty of updates and photos. I was honestly surprised Bella wanted to leave! We will be using their services every time we need a sitter. Thank you so much for loving and caring for Bella!”
“We’ve never left our dog with anyone outside the family, but I’m pretty convinced that Ellie felt like Rachel and Jeff WERE family after a week there. There are no words for how grateful we are for their excellent care! She was happy, comfortable, and loved on (I know from the pictures!), and I’m not sure she actually wanted to come back home! I sort of hate to so highly recommend Rachel and Jeff in case they get too booked up to watch Ellie again, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. We drove more than an hour to them, and after this experience, I’d have driven six. They were wonderful with Ellie but even more lovely as people. I wish I could give more than five stars, because they deserve it!”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Megan and Jay took wonderful care of Loki! He clearly had a great time with plenty of walks and lots of backyard play. They kept me updated with great communication and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”
“Nicole made me feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with a meet and greet, and then later after drop-off, sending pictures immediately after we left of our Jack settling in with her dog. I felt so relieved and could enjoy our vacation! She checked in and sent pics regularly. Our highly active Jack was well exercised and crashed out when he got home! I will definitely use Nicole again!”
“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!”
“Mary is consummate professional. She sent me videos and photos of my Lady interactions with other pets in her home. it is a pleasure working with working with Mary. I know my Lady is in good hands.”
“We highly recommend Sally as a pet sitter! For short visits or longer visits she is great to provide the highest level dog care! She communicates clearly and quickly and has v keen dog sense. I love having her care for my pets!”
“Rachel is a very caring sitter. Our two dogs were very nervous with their first time away from us and had multiple accidents, and she handled it kindly. She’s an awesome option and an avid pet lover.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Just can’t say enough good about Allison. She was exceptionally great with photos and communication during my five day trip. I always knew my Sheltie was safe and happy. Allison is both professional and kind, and I will absolutely continue to have her as my go-to dog sitter.”
“Loni is absolutely amazing! It's clear she has a genuine love for animals, and she took exceptional care of our fur baby while we were away. Her communication was top-notch—frequent updates and plenty of adorable pictures kept us completely at ease. I wouldn’t be surprised if our pup was a little sad to leave her care! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind and a happy pet.”
“Rayann helped us out in a pinch which allowed us to go on our vacation. She is very responsive and communicated with my other sitter for a handoff, as my other sitter had to go out of town. I appreciated her being willing to coordinate and be flexible. Thank you Rayann!”
