“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Miko had a great time with Desia. She was able to watch him last minute while we went to see family out of town. We received many pictures and videos with updates on our sweet baby which made us not stress as much about leaving him.”
“We received daily updates on our girls and they got along beautifully with Melissa’s two dogs. I cant say how much it was appreciated to be able to go away and not worry about our two girls while we were gone. Would definitely recommend and would use again. Ellie and Abby give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”
“Another wonderful stay for Yote! He went for walks, received lots of attention, and observed some wildlife. Daniel & Rachel were extremely accommodating with our 1am pickup time from a midnight plane arrival!”
“My dog is usually shy, easily scared, and slow to warm up to new people, so I was shocked at how quickly he bonded with Deanna during the meet and greet. We’ve used drop-in sitters before, but this was our first time trying boarding, and I immediately felt confident leaving him with her. Deanna introduced him to the other dogs in such a calm, skilled, and safe way, and her dogs were so gentle that my pup seemed to adjust much more easily than I expected. When I picked him up, he looked completely relaxed, as if we hadn’t been apart at all! Which made me so happy and relieved. I would absolutely book with Deanna again. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“My best friend Bernie… And energetic and very social beagle… spent a lovely six days with Zachary and his dogs. He was sad to go home, which made ME feel kind of bad but at least I know he had a good time! Zachary was an excellent communicator, and offered photos of Bernie during his stay. Large fenced yard.”
“Isabel was amazing. We left our 1 year Golden Retriever, Keely with her while we went to Europe for 10 days. We were updated almost daily with pictures and nice commentary. Keely seemed so well adjusted and happy when we picked her up it was like we never left. I would definitely recommend Isabel and she'll be my first contact when we go away again.”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Lorie is terrific! The dogs were well cared for and safe in her home and fenced yard. We felt welcomed upon arrival and the dogs were ready for us with their things packed for departure.”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“My dog had a great time with Jessica and her family. Jessica was quick to respond to messages and sent daily pictures. Our dog was well taken care of while we were away.”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Absolutely love Anita! Her joy is so contagious 💛 I always relax knowing my doggy is taken sooooo well care of by her & her family!! Always a perfect stay!!! Thanks as usual 😃😃😃”
“My dog, Bodhi, has been going to Susan for at least four years, several times a year. He gets so excited when we start driving toward Susan's house that he can barely contain himself. He is very fond of Susan's husband and always receives extra cuddles. Susan has cared for him when he's been on medication and needing extra attention. He always receives the best care. We also like that he socializes with other dogs, and we get cute pics. I highly recommend Susan.”

“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”
“True animal-loving and caring individual. Attention to detail, followed our excessive written instructions to the "T", and did extra work outside of requirements. We will definitely be hiring again.”
“Absolutely 10/10. I didn’t have the greatest experience with my last sitter from Rover, so I was really hoping this time around would be different and Deanna did not disappoint. She was prompt, friendly, and was able to check the things I asked about. One of my cats requires two medications and she successfully administered them. She also played with and gave treats out, which I know they love. I can tell they were well taken care of while I was away because they were happy and not screaming when I got back, and appreciate the attention she put towards them. Also sent very cute pictures each visit. Definitely recommend booking with her and will do so again if I need the services!”
“I was away in Europe for a month, and Hayley took care of my cat with her sitting sessions, putting my worries at ease. Her communication is amazing and she was always reachable. I highly recommend Hayley and would love to work with her again.”
“Tara has watched our cat twice now and does an incredible job. We got back to a happy and well-cared for cat who led us through the routine she did with Tara. Seems like they had a great time together while we were gone! We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful pet sitter. Tara is attentive, responsive, and caring. Would highly recommend!”
“Rebekah did a great job for us while we were on vacation. She kept us informed with photos and comments. I feel that our kitty was in great hands and would highly recommend Rebekah to anyone needing a pet sitter!!”
“So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!”
About: Northeast Ohio Native! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I understand that dogs need time outside, walks and plenty of attention to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand that cats have their own personalities they love their playtime, but they also appreciate their independence and quiet time. No matter their personality or routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll be right by their side, providing companionship and the care they deserve! All animal photos in my gallery are pets I have lived with or cared for within the past three years, except for Sasha the Giraffe I had the opportunity to feed while at the San Diego Zoo!
“Frank did a great job. Timothy seemed to get along really well with him (he can be shy with new people). Loved all the photos - being able to see how Timothy was getting on definitely made me feel better about being so far away. Thank you!”
“Great communication! ReAna took excellent care of my cat and my place and sent pictures each visit. I really appreciate the check-ins. Would definitely recommend ReAna to anyone as a cat sitter!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a Catahoula Leopard dog and an Australian Cattle dog. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 and love taking care of/ walking dogs. I am currently a college student on summer break so I have a completely free schedule. I am free to walk or pet sit any time! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who are well socialized. My dogs are 4 and 1 years old and are medium sized dogs.
About: Cats have been my contant companions since my childhood. I rescued my beloved Phoebe when she was 3 years old, I was so excited as a child because although we had mutiple kitties before her she was the first I got to claim fully mine! I shared 15 amazing years with her while I have cared for countless cats, from tiny rescues to my own current fur baby, Luna. I adore their quirky personalities, one minute they're cuddly, the next their plotting world domination starting with knocking something off that table. With years of experience, I'm confident I can provide the care, patience, and humor your kitty deserves that will fit their unique personality.
About: I adopted my cats from the same litter 3 years ago and I’ve been in love ever since. I would love to meet your cats and help you out in anyway I can. I can clean litter boxes, feed, and give lots of playtime!
About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.
About: I have cared for cats my entire life, and grew up in a family that loved cats. I currently have a sweet 19 year old who has been diabetic and needed insulin for the past 5 years, along with other medications. I also had a cat with chronic kidney disease that required fluid injections daily, along with many other medications. I am very comfortable administering medications as gently and calmly as possible. I have also had cats in the past that lived into their early 20’s. I genuinely adore cats and try to give them the best care possible. I know it’s stressful to leave your babies with someone new, but I can assure you that I will try to keep them calm and happy until you return.

“Kelli has been watching my Australian Shepard for nearly a month now on a weekly basis for doggie daycare. She does a wonderful job playing, walking, and caring for my Ruby. She manages Rubys high energy and chaotic personality. Kelli is a great experienced sitter and I would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I insist on a meet and greet to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family. I do not board pit bulls (or pit mixes), German Shepherds, Rottweilers it any aggressive dogs for my safety as well as my pup. I am retired. I never leave your pups alone. If I need to run to the store, my husband is here with the pups. When the pups are outside, I'm outside work them. I have a large fenced in back yard and a standard poodle that would love to play with your pup/pups and keep them company. She loves having new playmates.
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“April took wonderful care of Hank today during his daycare stay. He is snoring as we speak from all of his fun sniffing in the yard and working on a puzzle toy. Her large fenced in yard is any dog’s dream!! We received lots of pictures and were laughing at his many doggy yoga poses. I am an anxious dog mom and I was able to relax today while away. April was wonderful with her communication and really put me at ease during our meet and greet! We would highly recommend her!”
About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
About: It’s simple. I just love dogs. I love my dog. I’ve had dogs all my life. I like to walk dogs just plain and simple. I have a friendly dog now and walk it and let it outside and take care of it. He’s part of my family and fixed. I have a fenced in yard and pay a lot of attention to the animals needs.

About: Being around dogs is second nature to me, my family has always had furbabies. I treat every animal with compassion. A gentle hand can go a long way. I love dogs and have a great ability to handle them with kindness. I can handle little to big dogs, my own dog is 100lbs. I currently do not have a job that requires me to leave my home for extended hours, so I am able to give all my time to your furbaby. I usually always have my phone on me and can respond quickly. I am currently not working outside of the home and can devote all my hours to your pet. I will incorporate walks and enrichment to keep your pet engaged. I have a fenced in yard, a special insert in my car for hiking if your dog would like a hike. There is a nice trail 5mins from my house. I live in a safe neighborhood and can walk your dog for as long as needed from their normal routines.
About: From the time I was 3 years old, I've had 4 cats and 2 dogs! I have looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and love them like my own. I have experience walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with cats and dogs. I am very good at teaching puppies new tricks! I also have experience administering both oral and injected medication to both dogs and cats. Let me love on your pet today! I’m currently a Stay At Home Mom to an 15 month old, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you’re away! I’m always home and ready to help. My home has an unfenced yard, but with your permission, I could take them to the dog park to run and play off the leash!
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for more than five years and understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I’m home most of the time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. What sets me apart is the home environment I provide. I have a friendly, well-socialized host dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs, helping visiting pups feel comfortable and included. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and low-stress experience where dogs can play, relax, and feel like part of the family. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they enjoy active play, social interaction, or a quieter environment. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Being a school teacher has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to create a safe, positive environment—qualities that I bring to caring for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a virtual teacher, I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, playtime with my friendly host dog, and plenty of opportunities to relax indoors. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and included. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra playtime, and one-on-one attention Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a safe, welcoming home environment with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for play, rest, and companionship. Because I work from home, I am able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I take the time to understand each dog's personality and needs, helping them feel comfortable and cared for while away from home. My goal is to create a positive experience where dogs feel safe, happy, and part of the family.

I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.
About: Dogs have been my best friends all my life- they give more than take. I have had mutts and labs thru the years and love taking the time to give back to them the love and attention they deserve. I have been trained in training my pups/dogs to sit, heel, stay, fetch, leave it, etc. I have had rescues and adore their ever giving love and thanks. I love the privilege in helping others care for their furry family. Update- I am back in OH and available for drop-ins on weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to contact me regarding your schedule- thank you! I always verify with owners their pets' physical and safety needs, inside and out. I love playing ball, walking around the yard or in the neighborhood or parks if near- giving dogs the time to investigate their environment- running, smelling, socializing and down right having fun- sun or shine, hot or cold weather- we'll have fun.
About: With over 9 years in the pet loving industry as both a groomer and assistant manager of boarding/daycare/grooming facility, I am the purrrrfect sitter/walker for your 4 legged love bug. I worked at artemis emergency veterinary hospital and am certified in pet CPR/first aid, with 8 years under my belt as a pet groomer. I worked full time at a open play dog daycare (dogtopia) in this area for a year so I may know your fur baby already. I am highly skilled in dog behavior and training techniques.

I have Trip the three legged wonder dog as my personal pet/snuggle bunny but I have lots more love to give so I can't wait to meet you and your furr baby and am excited about the opportunity to build a relationship with you both! I have a flexible schedule weekly. As long as you’ve communicated what you need in advance I’m able to work around most schedules. I know my critters are used to our daily routine, so I would try to adhere to the daily schedule you’ve created with your fur babies to keep them comfortable. My care for your pets will be based off of your requests and what your typical day would look like with them so I don’t confuse their schedule.

“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Miko had a great time with Desia. She was able to watch him last minute while we went to see family out of town. We received many pictures and videos with updates on our sweet baby which made us not stress as much about leaving him.”
“We received daily updates on our girls and they got along beautifully with Melissa’s two dogs. I cant say how much it was appreciated to be able to go away and not worry about our two girls while we were gone. Would definitely recommend and would use again. Ellie and Abby give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”
“Another wonderful stay for Yote! He went for walks, received lots of attention, and observed some wildlife. Daniel & Rachel were extremely accommodating with our 1am pickup time from a midnight plane arrival!”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“My best friend Bernie… And energetic and very social beagle… spent a lovely six days with Zachary and his dogs. He was sad to go home, which made ME feel kind of bad but at least I know he had a good time! Zachary was an excellent communicator, and offered photos of Bernie during his stay. Large fenced yard.”
“Isabel was amazing. We left our 1 year Golden Retriever, Keely with her while we went to Europe for 10 days. We were updated almost daily with pictures and nice commentary. Keely seemed so well adjusted and happy when we picked her up it was like we never left. I would definitely recommend Isabel and she'll be my first contact when we go away again.”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“My dog had a great time with Jessica and her family. Jessica was quick to respond to messages and sent daily pictures. Our dog was well taken care of while we were away.”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
About: Being around dogs is second nature to me, my family has always had furbabies. I treat every animal with compassion. A gentle hand can go a long way. I love dogs and have a great ability to handle them with kindness. I can handle little to big dogs, my own dog is 100lbs. I currently do not have a job that requires me to leave my home for extended hours, so I am able to give all my time to your furbaby. I usually always have my phone on me and can respond quickly. I am currently not working outside of the home and can devote all my hours to your pet. I will incorporate walks and enrichment to keep your pet engaged. I have a fenced in yard, a special insert in my car for hiking if your dog would like a hike. There is a nice trail 5mins from my house. I live in a safe neighborhood and can walk your dog for as long as needed from their normal routines.
“Susan took excellent care of our Penny and sent daily updates and photos. We were very lucky to find a dog sitter who would provide the extra care and attention that our older dog needs.”
“10/10 highly recommend and will def use again!! My dogs were so comfortable and content while I was away. She sends pics and updates. Overall great experience! Her backyard alone is any dogs dream 💕”
“Hard to miss how much Nathan and Jenna love dogs. And how could dogs not love them in return? They have the most amazing set up for a play area for the many dogs they welcome to their back yard. They kept me updated with photos and videos of our Petey as he enjoyed romping with other pups in the back yard and found just the right spot on Jenna's lap to cozy up. Thank you Nathan and Jenna for allowing Petey to join the fun at your home.”
“Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!”
“Gail is a wonderful care taker for your pet! This past weekend was the first time I have been away from my rescue pup and Gail was phenomenal with her AND me! I received regular updates and pictures. Gail has so much experience and I was comfortable with her right away! I will definitely be a repeat client! Thank you Gail’ ?”
