Personalized care for your dog or cat - Solon
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Solon
“When I saw the pictures of Susan and Kenny surrounded by all the fur babies, I knew they were special. Talking to them, meeting them, and having them sit with Peanut and CoCo proved they are. Think "Dog-Whispers." CoCo, my 10-month-old CavaPoo, is very much the Covid-puppy. She is still getting socialized with two and four-legged friends. After a bit of separation anxiety, she made new friends and had a great time from all accounts. I was very concerned about Peanut, my 12-year-old Chihuahua. She is very anxious around other dogs. She pretends to be fierce but is actually afraid after a bad encounter with another dog years ago. Susan and I spoke by phone before confirming their stay, and she eased any fear I had about leaving Peanut. Her knowledge and overall puppy wisdom were settling to my spirit. Susan and Kenny took excellent care of my two pups. They knew what each of them needed. They provided updates and pictures. I saw a picture with Peanut lying near another puppy, who was not CoCo, which spoke volumes. Susan provided me with helpful care information about my older pup when I picked up my girls. I can't recommend Susan and Kenny enough...only if they become too popular, they may not have room for future visits from Peanut and CoCo.”
“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.”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
About: I have tons of experience taking care of numerous dogs from when I babysat during high school and college years. I currently have a 10 year old bichon frise named Bentley, who is updated on all of his shots and am very knowledgeable in training, walking, feeding, health, and playing with dogs. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 4 and 6 year old and have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband Landon has had dogs all his life and would be around if any emergencies arise. I have a fenced in backyard, which is in a nice, suburban neighborhood with lots of sidewalks, grass, and amazing parks nearby for me to walk the dogs. I have a phenomenal veterinarian that is not too far or there are plenty of veterinarians in the area for emergencies, an animal hospital opened on weekends, and a pet store about 5 minutes away. If you want your dog to be well taken care of and have fun in a safe, friendly dog environment then chose me! I'm currently a stay at home mom with family support nearby so I'll have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups/cats! I will follow all rules provided by the client and make sure every pup/cat is well taken care of. If you need me to do another small chore, just let me know!
“Wendy was really great with our dog who is not quite 2 years old. Our dog has a few challenges (slight separation anxiety and some unexpected aggression) and Wendy was confident and willing to work with her. Wendy also kept me updated throughout our week with texts and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Karma is great!! She looked after our 50lb pup for two weeks and we could see from the photos and updates that our furbaby, Freya, was clearly having the time of her life! Even from the first meet and greet you can tell that Karma runs a tight ship. She is extremely capable, organized, and clearly knows what she’s doing with the pups in her care. We loved the attention Freya got, and the many many adorable pictures we got to see throughout her stay. Freya even learned some new skills and got to practice her manners. We will definitely be hiring Karma again the next time we go out of town! Thank you Karma! ?”
“Kathy was everything we could have hoped for in a dog-sitter - attentive, experienced, patient, reliable. Our pooch has physical disabilities which require additional time and effort. Kathy rose to the occasion with both professional and gentle acumen. Her work as a nurse certainly added to her skills. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur baby with her and to whole-heartedly recommend her to all.”
“Beth & Edward were fantastic! While on a much needed vacation for a week, they boarded Watson. They gave 2-3 updates a day with pics to keep my updated on how he was doing which put me at ease as this was my first time away from my boy! Highly recommend them and will be booking again in the future!”
“Tara and Peter are fantastic! They treated Zoey like the princess she is and sent me pictures and reports about her everyday. They are very loving and caring people with a wonderful, fully fenced backyard that is a puppy paradise. I'm sure Zoey will be seeing them again!”

“Susan is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I miss them just a little less because I know they are safe and having fun with Susan. We are so lucky to have found her! We love you, Susan! Be our Valentine. Can’t thank you enough!!!!”
“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie was awesome! She let me bring Ruby out to meet her and her husband before the stay. Ruby enjoyed her 2 dogs and stephanie even sent me pictures the whole stay!”
“Jason was great. I had to change my plans a couple times and he worked with me. Gave me updates on how the dog was doing. He sent me pics several times and put me at ease. Great experience!”

Cat caregivers near you - Solon
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so pleased with the services Emily provided! My cats were so well taken care of. Emily totally understood their needs and personalities and how to bring them comfort during her visits! I would love to book her again (and so would my cats!)”
“Lorene did a great job taking care of my cat. She was very kind and patient, and took the time to play with my cat and help her slowly get familiar and comfortable with her. I really appreciate her care!”
“Carlin is the best! She has watched my three cats twice now, the most recent time being last week when our family was on a cruise. She gives updates a takes photos every time she comes over to care for the cats. One of my cats is very anxious and scared of people and Carlin tried very hard to make her comfortable with her. I really appreciated that. She also medicated my one male cat without any problems. She was also nice enough to bring in our mail and packages as well as roll our trash bins to the end of the driveway on trash day while we were gone. I would definitely use her again!”
“Marcus does a wonderful job with our 3 kitties! They warm up to him faster than most other people they meet. He is quick to respond and took great care of our kitties, including one with diabetes. I will use Marcus for all my pet sitting needs!”
“Lauren took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town! She is reliable and very easy to communicate with, and clearly an animal lover. We’d love for her to take care of them again in the future!”
“Halie is an exceptional person and sitter!! We are so appreciative of her kindness to our 4 rescue cats. They all loved her and that’s saying a lot as one of our babies is super duper skittish. Cat moms and dads- totally book with Halie! So grateful for her and so happy to have the peace of mind that comes with complete trust of your fur babies when you go out of town!! 10/10!! Thank you so much Halie!!!!”

“Susan & Kenny are amazing! They are so kind and loving. Our dog had the best play day with all his new friends. We highly recommend them and can’t wait to bring our boy back to them.”
“Bandit continues to have so much with karma. Recently he was attacked at another persons house and we were nervous how he would be with dogs again after but karma eased our anxiety and let us know that he was totally safe in her care and that he is still totally fine with dogs. Would highly recommend her and her skills to anyone!”
About: Hi! I’m Maria, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’ve dedicated years of my life to. I have over 10 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I understand that every pet deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them. My partner and I work together as a team, which means your pets receive twice the attention, care, and reliability. Having two experienced animal lovers allows us to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent, dependable care for your pets, whether you’re away for the day or an extended vacation. I offer: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • House Sitting • Overnight Boarding • Puppy Care • Senior Dog Care • Medication Administration (if needed) • Lots of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and exercise! I’ve cared for everything from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds, including dogs with anxiety, high energy, special routines, and unique personalities.

When your pet stays with us or we care for them in your home, they’re treated like family. We stick to their normal routine as closely as possible because we know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, we adjust our care to what makes your pet happiest. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with a member of your family. That’s why communication is one of our top priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Our goal isn’t just to watch your pet. We want to become someone both you and your furry family member can trust for years to come.

We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 One of us works full time, however the other stays at home and focuses on animals and etc. We’re always able to be flexible and accommodate everyone’s needs We always make sure to meet prior to bookings and if needed or wanted to I do like to send pictures and videos of your fur babies while in my care. I know everyone misses their little babies.

About: Since being retired, I have plenty of time to help dog owners. I’m available to board, sit or walk your dog. Whatever I can do to help. I’m retired so I have the time. It helps pass the time. I lost my fur baby a few years ago after having him for 12 years. I have a fenced in yard and no current animals so each of the animals will have my undivided attention. I can gladly take care of them.

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️
“Austin watched Bentley on such short notice while we were in town for a short visit and it was the best decision of the weekend! He took such great care of our big dog and had our minds at ease the whole day. Sent plenty of updates and photos. I highly recommend Austin to anyone in need of doggy day care. Thank you again!”
“Brandon is terrific! He is a dog and human whisperer alike, putting us and our dog at ease. Cleo was able to relax and join the pack allowing us to breathe a sigh of relief. We will be using his boarding services again for sure.”
About: Hi, I'm Daniel! I'm excited to care for your dog. I offer boarding, and house sitting, and I tailor every stay to your pet's normal routine. That means feeding on their schedule, daily walks (the longer the better!), plenty of playtime and cuddles, potty breaks as needed, and photo updates so you always know how they're doing. I've cared for dogs my whole life, from raising my childhood dogs as puppies through their senior years to most recently caring for my shelter boy for eight years until I said goodbye to him. In his later years he had heart issues, so I have hands-on experience giving both oral medication and topical treatments, and I'm comfortable watching over senior dogs who need extra attention. Nothing brought me more joy than the time I spent with him, and I'll treat your dog with that same love and care. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog is never alone for long stretches. I have a large private yard for play and a walkable neighborhood with sidewalks for daily strolls. I'll stick to their routine so they feel secure the whole time. Because I work from home and make my own schedule, pet care fits naturally into my whole day rather than being squeezed around it. I take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and potty trips, and there’s almost always someone around to offer attention and companionship. My flexible schedule means we can stick to your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give extra care when a pet needs it. I follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest so they feel secure. In our home they’ll enjoy a private yard, a walkable neighborhood, and constant company. I never take dogs out without a leash and collar, and unless otherwise told, I'll make sure to keep your dog away from others.
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.

About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have a 2 year old cat named Milo. I’ve helped friends and family watching their pets while out of town for over 10 years. I am currently working part-time, so I can be flexible with your schedule. Please contact me for more details. I am frequently available 9 AM - 5 PM M-F, and most weekends too. I will follow your instructions to the best of my ability and give frequent photo and text updates! I have experienced many different personalities and will make sure you come home to a happy buddy!
About: Update June 1, 2026. I have taken a part-time job and right now I can only accept cat drop in requests . Unfortunately I can’t commit to dog walking because of this part-time job unless it’s on the weekend. I am answering as a pet owner. I am hoping to start working as a pet sitter/dog walker soon. As a kid we had birds and hamsters, then graduated to cats when I was about 14. As a young adult I usually had up to 4 cats at the same time. When my kids were in high school, my husband introduced me to dogs by re-homing a dog named Lucy. We still have her. I had never had dogs before but I am so glad I did not say NO to hubby at the time. We have 2 dogs now but no cats. I do miss having cats and hope to again some day. I left my job of 34 years and would love to do something I have been wanting to do for a long time but never got around to. I am happy to care for cats too! At my house we have invisible fence to keep the dogs from leaving the yard, though our younger dog needs to be on a long lead because he is so excitable and cannot always be trusted to stay in the yard. We also have invisible fence inside to keep both dogs out of the kitchen.
About: I live in an apartment at Kent State and am back and forth from Solon in the summer! My dog at my parents home is very reactive and we have been with many trainers to calm him down. I have much experience with dogs like him and learned from trainers. I have sat for various owners over the last few years and always enjoy keeping animals company! I am a college student! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a nice outside area. I have a very open schedule and would be open to helping anyone out at any time! I always make sure to have the pet's water and food stalked up and clean up the surrounding areas for the owner. I always make sure to leave the space looking better than when I arrived. I cannot house pets at my home due to my reactive animal but I am 100% willing to come to you!
About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for several years and have grown very comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, playing outside, providing companionship, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply giving extra attention and affection, I'm happy to adapt to each pet's unique needs. As an active college athlete, I have plenty of energy for long walks and playtime, but I'm also patient and attentive with dogs who prefer a calmer environment. My goal is always to provide reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care is something I take seriously, and I have a schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and flexibility. I work part-time as a lifeguard, which gives me the ability to take breaks throughout the day to check on pets, take dogs for walks, provide potty breaks, feed pets, or attend to any other needs they may have. In addition, I am generally available during mornings, evenings, and overnight hours, allowing me to spend quality time with pets and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs an active companion, a consistent routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I have the time and dedication to provide reliable, attentive care. My experience caring for pets comes from raising my own two rescue dogs. When my family first brought them home, they were nervous, hesitant around people, and not always easy to handle. Like many rescue animals, they needed time, patience, and consistency before they felt comfortable in their new environment. Over the years, I have helped them build confidence through daily routines, training, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Watching them grow from uncertain rescue dogs into friendly, affectionate companions has taught me a great deal about animal care. It showed me that every pet has a unique personality and that building trust often takes patience and understanding. Today, caring for my dogs is a regular part of my life. I feed them a combination of wet and dry food twice a day, take them on walks throughout the day whenever my schedule allows, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they need to stay happy and healthy. One of my dogs also experiences seasonal allergies and requires medication during certain times of the year, so I am comfortable following care instructions and administering medications when needed. Because of these experiences, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else's pet. Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, young or old, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable environment where they feel secure, cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently Unemployed. I have a lot of time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !
About: I’ve provided care for animals since I was a young child. Successfully completed a basic dog training course at Alaska SPCA in 2016. My skill ranges from walks to grooming, I’ve got you covered! Currently, I’m working full-time with free availability Sunday through Tuesday! I will require at least a three day notice before the date of booking. Please message me for any questions you may have! I have a balcony and plenty of space for your fur baby to lounge and play. Currently my roommate is an agreeable cat. Chai is pleasant and tolerable to other cats and small dogs.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. When a couple of years ago we lost our senior family dog, I started volunteering with a local rescue and have fostered 20+ puppies over the past few years. Fostering has given me experience with everything from energetic, playful pups to post-surgery care—things like baths, basic grooming, medications (even injections), vet pickups, and lots of patience and love. I also help neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I truly just love being around dogs—and getting outside for walks is a bonus for me too! I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins during the week. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, or multiple visits if needed. I’m also happy to stick to your dogs’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and check-ins, I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs secure on leash, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own.
About: I’ve been walking and watching dogs since I could ride my bike around my hometown by myself. My family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers have always been able to rely on me to provide their pups with long walk or runs, feedings, baths (when needed), and endless cuddles (if consented to by said pup). I work full-time in Chagrin Falls; however, with a high-energy dog of my own, my free time is usually spent with him outside hiking or playing fetch in parks and on trails in the area. At this time I’m not offering boarding services. My apartment only allows for my service dog (PSA) to be with me there, unfortunately. But I’m more than happy to come house sit! As long as my pup Strider is welcome.

About: I have tons of experience taking care of numerous dogs from when I babysat during high school and college years. I currently have a 10 year old bichon frise named Bentley, who is updated on all of his shots and am very knowledgeable in training, walking, feeding, health, and playing with dogs. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 4 and 6 year old and have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband Landon has had dogs all his life and would be around if any emergencies arise. I have a fenced in backyard, which is in a nice, suburban neighborhood with lots of sidewalks, grass, and amazing parks nearby for me to walk the dogs. I have a phenomenal veterinarian that is not too far or there are plenty of veterinarians in the area for emergencies, an animal hospital opened on weekends, and a pet store about 5 minutes away. If you want your dog to be well taken care of and have fun in a safe, friendly dog environment then chose me! I'm currently a stay at home mom with family support nearby so I'll have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups/cats! I will follow all rules provided by the client and make sure every pup/cat is well taken care of. If you need me to do another small chore, just let me know!
“Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!”

“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Karma is great!! She looked after our 50lb pup for two weeks and we could see from the photos and updates that our furbaby, Freya, was clearly having the time of her life! Even from the first meet and greet you can tell that Karma runs a tight ship. She is extremely capable, organized, and clearly knows what she’s doing with the pups in her care. We loved the attention Freya got, and the many many adorable pictures we got to see throughout her stay. Freya even learned some new skills and got to practice her manners. We will definitely be hiring Karma again the next time we go out of town! Thank you Karma! ?”
“Tara and Peter are fantastic! They treated Zoey like the princess she is and sent me pictures and reports about her everyday. They are very loving and caring people with a wonderful, fully fenced backyard that is a puppy paradise. I'm sure Zoey will be seeing them again!”

“Our puppy of 9 months really enjoyed staying with Alayna & Adam! In fact, it seemed he made himself right at home with their 2 much larger dogs. Great photos and a great time! Communication was excellent! Looking forward to our next stay!”
“Very kind, understanding and accommodating. He will absolutely be our go to person to care for Jasper. If you want to breathe easy and know your dog is being cared for and having fun, Ben is who you want watching your dog. I loved seeing pictures of Jasper making new friends or just relaxing super close to Ben. Jasper is a very close snuggler and it was nice to see he could snuggle and be in his happy spot.”
“Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our dog Zippy while we were away! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Zippy looked happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. 🐾 We really appreciated how reliable and kind Kelsey was throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We’d absolutely trust her with Zippy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter on Rover! 😊”
“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.”

“I was very comfortable with leaving Mellow with Angi. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date on how he was adjusting to new surroundings. I definitely recommend her services.”
“Austin provided outstanding care and attention to our Golden Retriever, Oakleigh, while we were on vacation last week. Daily pictures and texts showed she was comfortable and right at home with his family and 2 dogs. When we had flight changes due to bad weather, Austin was responsive and incredibly accommodating keeping her an additional night. Oakleigh came home happy and tired from all the ball chasing, which is saying a lot for a Golden. This was our first stay and definitely won't be our last. I would recommend Austin without hesitation.”
“Angela was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. Angela followed all of our instructions perfectly, including feeding instructions and walks. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”
“Thank you Brittany for caring for our girl while we were on vacation.She was so relaxed and calm when we returned gave us piece of mind to see the picture of her relaxing with your family. "The Fleshman Family "”
