“Zuri was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my fur baby for the 1st time, but I was updated with pictures and videos daily! Chanel had an awesome time and was a happy pup at the end of the visit! Thank you Zuri!”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”
“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
“Paige was great. She always sent pictures and stayed on top of things. Jax and Bella had a good time with Eddie and they are worn out! We will definitely use her again.”
“Sandy was great! My pup wasn’t feeling the best and Sandy did everything she could to make her comfortable. She really treated my girl the same way I would and I can always appreciate that. She was also great with sending pictures and communicating. Will for sure return to her.”
“I can't say enough good about Celene and her puppers! She is super knowledgeable and good with dogs! I can tell that my Charli really liked her! She was well taken care of and I will definitely use her again!”
“LaTonya was so easy going! And even provided a cage for my puppy to be in. I have a 6 month pit mix who has tons of energy she made sure he was able to get the energy out and was patient with him. I would definitely reach out to her again to keep Zeus I was stress free while having him in her care/”
“A big thank you to Cindie and family for Phoebe’s wonderful care while we were on vacation. She enjoyed her stay and we enjoyed peace of mind knowing she was receiving love and attention. Highly recommend Cindie.”

About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have a cat who has been my best friend for 12 years. I have lived with dogs and adore them! I know how to look out for signs of distress and keep the pet areas tidy. I work from home and am happy to do visits before noon and after 6pm. Please let me know if you need a time outside of that! I will follow your safety instructions for your home and be sure to open the door very slowly to ensure your pet doesn't run out of your home. Happy to help with bringing the mail in when I visit.
“Bosco always enjoys his time with Breanna and Clay. This was his first overnight and they kept us well informed on how he was doing. We'd have no problem boarding there again. Thanks!”
“Lillian and Jeremy are excellent sitters to my dog Smokey! They are always my number one choice everytime I leave town. My dog Smokey loves them and their two lovely dogs that are his friends now! They are excellent communicators and are very prompt with responding, and they also send me picture updates of my pet. I will continue to rebook with them!”

“Taylor was the best person to leave my babies with while I was away. I had Taylor booked for a majority of 2 weeks, the longest I havr been away from my babies. Taylor came and did a meet and greet and I was worried as Zuna can be hesitant meeting new people. Taylor reassured me everything would be great. Every update was amazing, detailed filled of their activities and amazing pictures. Taylor reached out when she had any questions and had wonderful communication. Taylor will make sure your pets have lots of cuddles and play. The cats felt very comfortable with her after just one day.”
“Kaity was wonderful!! She took great care of our sphynx kitten and sent lots of great photos. She was also so patient when we had some issues with the code to get her inside of the house! We will absolutely use her again!”
“Honestly, probably the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. Hannah is incredibly kind, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she watches. She went above and beyond for my cats, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter Paige! From the moment we met him, it was clear how much he genuinely loves animals. He took excellent care of both of our cats, including one who requires insulin injections twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly kind, keeping us updated and making sure our cats were happy and well cared for. We came home to two relaxed, well-loved kitties. We were so happy with the experience that we’ve already booked him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Allan did a great job taking care of my cats! I got pics every day, he played with them, and generally put my mind at ease while I was on vacation! I would recommend him!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of keeping their routines consistent, giving them attention on their terms, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Along with caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat for families for weeks at a time and have experience caring for multiple cats in a home. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and companionship. I also work at ProMedica Flower Hospital with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care and quality time with your cat. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Autumn was great while watching our two cats. She did all her check ins on time and sent us the best pictures and updates every time. Would highly recommend☺️”
About: I've taken care of dogs - small, large, puppy, and senior - since I was 15. I've always loved to help friends and family when they have to leave town. I enjoy playing with excited puppies as well as giving cuddles and pets to the chill seniors. I have experience with easy care as well as dogs who need medication. I have a full time job as well as a few side gigs, but when I have free time, I have a lot of it! I love to stay the night with pets to ensure they have what they need. Whether that be play, going outside, food, or just some love.
“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life and I currently have 3 cats; Olive, Theo and Addy. I look forward to getting to know your little buddies and forming a relationship that offers the fun and familiarity that matters so much when your people are away. I recently finished my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am doing some petsitting while I look for a permanent position. I will likely keep doing it in some capacity once I find one, just because I really enjoy meeting new furry friends :) I cannot offer boarding currently, however, I am happy to visit your pets in your home or take them out for a walk. I love to give pets the attention they deserve and form a new friendship with each creature I have the privilege of caring for.
“The best in town! Cynthia took amazing care of my two dogs when I was on vacation, she will always be my go to for dog care. Coco and quigley appreciate you and I think they might want me to leave again just to see you :) thank you so much for doing an amazing job and having great communication with me the entire time. Truly the best in the business no questions asked!!! Sincerely, Brandon Harper”
“Michelle was amazing with our two cats, both of whom needed extra medical attention and are pretty skittish with new people. They warmed up to Michelle in no time, and we felt such relief, knowing they were being so well taken care of at home. We would absolutely book with Michelle again in the future.”
“This was my first time using this site. I was nervous and unsure how everything would work. John'Asia came to meet me and my cat before my vacation. During my vacation she was on time. Bonded with my cat and really took care of my cat. I feel like my pet was in good hands. She sent me photos everyday and also wrote my cat's progress for that day. Next time I take a vacation I will definitely use John'Asia as the sitter for my pets.”
“it’s my 1st time using Rover for my 3 furr babies. i could say Patrick is dedicated. He was so reliable, flexible and trusted. I can now set longer vacation days because of Patrick, i know i can leave and have peace of mind for my furr babies will be well taken care of. I highly recommend Patrick. Thank you so much Patrick. Till next time. ?”
About: I come from a long line of cat ladies! My grandma instilled my love of cats. I've grown up with at least 2 cats in my home at all times, so as soon as I moved out on my own, I immediately got my own! I had my Marty for 14 years! Toward the end, there was a lot of administering medicine (pills and shots) so I am no stranger to taking special care. I miss him very much so I would love to meet and snuggle your cat(s)!
“Highly recommend Kayla! I have a 19 week puppy full of energy and Kayla surely gets all his energy out like requested. She doesn’t just let him out to go potty and sits around. She actually plays with him and makes sure he’s running around and spending all his puppy energy. I’m very happy with her services!!!! Used her twice already and will be rebooking for sure.”

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
About: Hello! My name is John’Asia. As you may see by viewing my photos, I have a huge heart for fur babies. It all started when I volunteered at a local animal shelter in my hometown. I fell in love with the idea of taking care of the pups/kittens there. That’s when I decided to start my own business in the pet care industry! This is not just a business this is my passion/dream job! I do not have any pets of my own, therefore I treat all of the furbabies as my very own under my care. I am here to provide you the best service for your family member. I am trustworthy, energetic, reliable and prompt. I am very excited to meet everyone’s pets! I am really hoping to attract repeat and long term fur besties. Also, I will require a meet and greet with me. Thank you! I am a full time pet care provider. My schedule is open from 9AM - 8PM Monday - Saturday for walks & visits. 24hrs/7days a week for housesitting & boarding. Don’t worry, your fur baby is in great hands. I will be sure to send you daily photos of your fur baby for your comfort. Drop Ins & Walks: I love the excitement of fur babies when I come in because they know it’s play/snack time when they see me lol! Also, if you need me to feed or clean up a possible accident, that’s not a problem! Boarding: I treat all pups as my own while under my care. Your pup will go everywhere (Bike Rides, dog park, summer events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! Your pup will feel like he/she is on vacation as well!! Did you see the new play area & boarding area I created. Check out my photos!!!!!! Lol they will have a great time & it will show in the daily pictures! **Disclaminer the back yard park & playhouse are no longer effective due to me moving into an apartment** Housesitting: Same as boarding but in the comfort of their home! Your pup will go everywhere (dog park, dog events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! & Ofcourse they can sleep in the bed with me!! Lol Bike Rides: If you would like to book a bike ride, please request through walk or visit! -Best Pawjama Pawties In Town!!
“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Emily was awesome to deal with. Very friendly, great communication and flexible with time. My dog really enjoyed his time with her and will be going back next time we’re in town!”
“Comer & Joan put our minds at ease when they babysit our pups. They treat them like we treat them.- like family. They are very attentive to the needs of our dogs and their safety. But we have a dog that is very skittish and they are so patient with him if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies looking no further Comer & Joan they are the perfect people”
About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and safe, supervised play time. I follow feeding instructions exactly, keep water fresh, and maintain clean food and water bowls. I also watch for behavior or appetite changes and communicate anything important right away. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I take time to build trust so dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether a dog is high-energy or laid-back, I adjust my approach to match their personality. As an active duty Army service member and lifelong dog owner since age 15, I bring reliability, structure, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Follow him on IG: GrimMboy_pdC I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless! I provide a safe, structured, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like family. Pets in my care are allowed to comfortably roam the home and are not kept in a crate all day. I have an American Bully in the home who is friendly and fully up to date on all vaccinations. All dogs are kept on leash during outdoor time for safety. I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.
About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.

With multiple cats of our own, we understand the unique needs of feline companions. Our spacious and comfortable accommodations ensure that your pets feel right at home. We offer personalized care, playtime, and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy and entertained. Trust us to treat your pets like family!

I treat them as if they are my own. They have a large space to explore and run around in. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I have absolutely no problem taking them out on a leash to go potty or even a park.
“I was nervous leaving Minnie for the first time with what is essentially a stranger but we are strangers no more! Minnie had a blast and loves her new friends. Thank you!”

I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Carrie was amazing! She was super quick to respond and so nice. She provided updates and pictures of my puppy, Ruby, throughout the day. Ruby loved running around Carrie’s yard and playing with her two dogs. She definitely had a great day staying with Carrie.”

About: We have taken care of many dogs before in our fenced backyard in Sylvania Township. We are home full time 5 days a week and love to spoil our doggies. Days that we are at work, our doggies are let out during the day and played with. We are great with our 4 legged friends, love to walk them and are not afraid of dog hairs on our couch. We have two Golden's, a cat who is very social and one daughter. We send pictures daily! My husband and I both work full time, however my husband is in office only two days. Every other day, we are always home. The days that we both are at work, I come home to let our dogs out and play. We also have cameras in our homes where we check in on our dogs when watching others. We have two loving and playful doggies in our home. We also have one cat who is very comfortable around dogs. Our backyard is fenced and we live in a safe neighborhood.

I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
About: Hello Hello Hello! My name is Rue. I am an office dweller with an affinity for dogs. My crew consists of an 8-year-old bully who, like his mother, is a lover of dogs of all sizes and ages. My muffin, a 5-year-old patterdale terrier, who has never met a mouse she couldn’t catch. Lastly, My Pup, a 9-month old shepherd mix who hates to see me relaxing lol. Professionally, I have worked with Animals on and off since my undergrad days. I started out years ago working as a kennel hand at a shelter while home from college on summer break. After that I just couldn’t let it go. More recently, I was employed as a dog walker for a pet care company in Chicago where I also cared for cats and rabbits. After that, I became a certified explosive detection K9 handler. Since then, I have worked in City run animal Shelters caring for all types of animals. I am the person who shows up at the party and ends up hanging out with the dog. In case you were wondering, I also have experience administering meds and vaccinations. I am experienced in all avenues of pet care, especially fun! Whether you have a laid-back baby who enjoys a slow scenic walk or a super charged machine who has some pep in its step, your pet will be well taken care of and will return home ready for a nap. Im currently working full time and making a career transition to dog training. I will be walking dogs mostly in the evenings during the week and all day on the weekends! I treat all pets as if they were my own. They are living creatures who deserve respect. I always lead with that sentiment when handling any animal. With that being said, I don't let my personal beliefs get in the way of the services I am rendering. The client's wishes come first when handling their pet. Tool usage, feeding schedules, etc will all be at the guidance of the client.
About: Hi! My name is Jayden and my Partner Lisa and I are excited to care for your pup like they’re part of our family. Lisa works from home and I work a hybrid schedule, so there will almost always be someone home with your dog to give them attention, supervision, and plenty of love throughout the day. I also have 2-year-old twins who absolutely love dogs and are used to being around them. We always make sure interactions are gentle, safe, and fun for everyone. We have a 1-year-old King Charles Spaniel named Redford who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around to play with. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, we live in a great neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. Your pup will get at least two long walks every day, plus as many potty breaks as they need. We love getting outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with us! I am completely free on the weekends. Happy to do drop in visits or walks. I am also free during the evenings and during lunch hours on Wednesday and Friday. Let me know what schedule will work well for your pet. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I will make sure to give them the love and attention that they need and carefully look over your instructions to make sure they are properly cared for.

About: Pet Care Experience: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, and creating a calm, safe environment. What Sets Me Apart: I treat every pet like my own, offering personalized care, consistent communication, and lots of affection. My ability to handle different temperaments, provide loving, general care, and support older pets with mobility or comfort needs helps me stand out as a reliable, thoughtful sitter. I am a college student on summer break so my schedule is as available as it can be! I am super flexible and want to help out if I can! I am very friendly with dogs and have a way with being trusted easily. I have never been mean or harmful, always friendly and encouraging.
About: I absolutely am obsessed with dogs and they will get my undivided attention while in my care. I cant wait to meet them all. I have dog sat for friends and family since I was in middle school and have owned dogs my entire life. My fenced in yard will provide plenty of space to play and they will be allowed to sleep on the bed with me and chill on the couch to relax throughout the day. We will go for walks and chase squirrels. I have experience with just about every dog breed and understand every dog is special in it's own way. It's all about tending to that particular dogs needs and making him or her feel comfortable at all times while in my care.

“Zuri was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my fur baby for the 1st time, but I was updated with pictures and videos daily! Chanel had an awesome time and was a happy pup at the end of the visit! Thank you Zuri!”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”
“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
“Paige was great. She always sent pictures and stayed on top of things. Jax and Bella had a good time with Eddie and they are worn out! We will definitely use her again.”
“Sandy was great! My pup wasn’t feeling the best and Sandy did everything she could to make her comfortable. She really treated my girl the same way I would and I can always appreciate that. She was also great with sending pictures and communicating. Will for sure return to her.”
“I can't say enough good about Celene and her puppers! She is super knowledgeable and good with dogs! I can tell that my Charli really liked her! She was well taken care of and I will definitely use her again!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have a cat who has been my best friend for 12 years. I have lived with dogs and adore them! I know how to look out for signs of distress and keep the pet areas tidy. I work from home and am happy to do visits before noon and after 6pm. Please let me know if you need a time outside of that! I will follow your safety instructions for your home and be sure to open the door very slowly to ensure your pet doesn't run out of your home. Happy to help with bringing the mail in when I visit.
“Bosco always enjoys his time with Breanna and Clay. This was his first overnight and they kept us well informed on how he was doing. We'd have no problem boarding there again. Thanks!”
“Lillian and Jeremy are excellent sitters to my dog Smokey! They are always my number one choice everytime I leave town. My dog Smokey loves them and their two lovely dogs that are his friends now! They are excellent communicators and are very prompt with responding, and they also send me picture updates of my pet. I will continue to rebook with them!”
“Kristin was very accommodating, as we had to make last minute arrangements. Rylee enjoyed her time with Kristin. Kristin kept us informed of Rylee's stay. We will be using Kristin again.”
“Zemo loves his stays with Edgar & friends! He always comes back tired from all the play time. Edgar is fast to respond, and friendly at pickup and drop-off. Anything I bring with Zemo is always neatly packed back into the bag it was brought in. Zemo himself seems well-cared for and happy at pickup, and looks calm and happy in any photos sent during the stay.”
“Kristie took great care of Louis! She made sure to send photo and video updates to me throughout the day which helped to reassure me he was in great care. I really appreciate how she accepted us as clients even though we needed last minute booking! Will definitely be a returning client 😊🙏🏼”
“Logan and Ellie are amazing people. We left our dogs with them and couldn’t be happier. They took such great care of them and kept us updated the whole time, sending us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely book with them again.”
“If you’re fortunate enough to have the opportunity for Aunt Janelle to watch your pups, you absolutely should! She took our athletic, high energy dog on walks, played fetch, and spoiled him rotten with love and cuddles!! She sent photos and videos of Cody having a great time throughout his stay. It was easy to enjoy my trip knowing that Janelle was taking such great care of our fur son. I could go on for days about how she’s the best choice to watch your pup-from start to finish. She cares about the safety of every dog she watches and doesn’t accept pets that she doesn’t trust. Thank you so much for taking in our big baby boy and treating him like your own!!!”
