“Tina was a wonderful sitter with my senior dogs. She kept me posted throughout the trip by sending pictures and text. It was so nice to be able to relax on our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. Definitely will use Tina again.”
“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. Our dog was treated like family as was evidenced by the photos each day. Definitely recommend!”
“Fantastic!! This was our first experience with using Rover. We could not be happier with the wonderful family that took care of my Enzo while we went away for several days. Hannah and her family took Enzo in as a family member. She kept me informed and sent pictures and videos of him living a good life with her family. Hannah was fabulous!”
“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Scott did a great job with taking care of our dog-very attentive, loving, and he sends pictures to reassure us of her good time there. Answers texts quickly, and our dog loves it there!”
“Naaya had a wonderful time with Joe and I'm very happy about having had Naaya with him. He's kind and very responsive and made sure Naaya was well taken care of and kept us posted via regular texts. Would highly recommend Joe.”
“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“I had the good fortune of finding Deanna! She has established a safe and dog friendly haven that caters to the enjoyment of many breeds. Deanna goes above and beyond to understand the preferences and needs of your fur baby, ensuring a caring experience. I not only recommend but will use her services again.”
“Sally allows us to have a worry free vacation. She always provides wonderful pictures of our boys playing and having fun. She is also in constant communication and responds promptly.”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“Ashleigh was exceptionally caring and looked after Teddy like he was one of her own! Very good communication and I will definitely be sending my friends and family her way.”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Did a test night with Zeus as he can be a bit dramatic and needy due to separation anxiety. Abigail and her husband did a great job keeping him calm and he ate more food than he normally would away from home. I got updates from Abigail on how he was doing and excited to use them again for an upcoming trip!”

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
“Bethani is such a treasure! She bonded so well with our Bean and is such a reliable professional when it comes to his care when we are gone. She is very detailed in her reports, too. It means so much to have her help when we can’t be home! Thank you, Bethani!”
About: I have cared for my neighbors’ cats since I was a kid, along with my family’s own cats. I LOVE cats & adopted my own in college. I am patient with them, loving, reliable & respect specific cats’ needs. I just want to make them feel comfortable and loved!
“This is the 3rd time we have hired Alicia to watch our furbabies while we were out of town. She always does a great job of taking care of all of their special needs. We worry less about them knowing we have someone reliable to check on them. We will continue to hire Alicia as long as she's available!”
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Britton was wonderful! She took great care of the animals, and went the extra mile to make our timid cat comfortable. Her communication was fantastic as well, I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had multiple cats growing up, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. My family used to call me the “cat whisperer” because even the shy or standoffish ones would eventually curl up in my lap. I have a natural connection with cats and a calm, gentle energy that helps them feel safe and understood. Whether your cat is playful, independent, or just wants a cozy companion while you’re away, I’ll give them the love and attention they’re used to—on their terms, of course! I always take the time to get to know each cat’s personality and routine, so they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I grew up with cats, and they were all very special to me. I currently own a black kitty named Moonlight, who has brought me much joy for the last six years. In owning cats, I have no fear of cleaning litter, giving them their preferred scratches, and providing medication.
“Vanessa was a fantastic sitter for our cats. They greatly enjoyed her visits, and she kept us well-informed with excellent communication. I'm very grateful to have found her through this app.”
About: Taking care of animals is just something I love to do, your animals will be in good hands with me. Taken out, fed and given water anytime they need it. I would love to know some things your animals like so I can make sure they don’t feel lonely while you are gone. The last thing I want is your animal to feel lonely or abandoned while you are out. I can adjust my prices to whatever you need. Need to pay less that’s alright I can work with you on that. Taking care of animals is just something I love. Any animal at all, cats,birds,dogs, bunnies or guinea pigs. Anything at all I would love to take care of them ! Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to come play with your pups. Im so excited to meet your pups :) I will be letting them out, making sure they get there food and water at the appropriate time & lots and lots of playtime. If you have anything special you want me to do just let me know !

Perfect for high energy dogs - Utica
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“My two dogs and I have had great experiences with Tina, she takes excellent care of them. The first few daycare visits were only my dog who has high anxiety and separation issues. During these trips I received regular messages from Tina and would speak to her at the end and felt very comfortable with how the dog was doing there. My dogs seems to enjoy going to Tina’s for day care and gets excited when we arrive at her home. I recently decided to try bringing my second who is older for day care, he has some health issues that limit his mobility and he is mostly blind. Tina went out of her way to accommodate his needs and kept me updated on how he was doing during his stay. I felt comforted by how much care she has shown both of my dogs, how willing she has been to communicate with us about their stays, and how much she talks to us about them when we pick them up and drop them off.”
About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉
About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.
About: I have lived on a farm since I was born until college, and my parents still live on one. I love all animals and always willing to help out. I don’t mind if they are wild puppies or older dogs we will get though the walk or stay together! I only work 2 days a week, so my schedule is pretty open! I have a very large back yard not fenced in, but I can take out all dogs on a leash.I have one other dog that your dog can play with or we can play inside to make sure everyone stays safe! I plan on walking them throughout the neighborhood. If I go to a clients house whatever the clients wants me to do to best care for their dog I will.
“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”

“Cassie was amazing!! This was Tilly's first pet sitter experience and Cassie made everything great!! Highly recommend Cassie!! She will be my go to if I ever need a pet sitter again!! 10 STARS!!!!”
“Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.”
About: I am 24, I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals since I was a baby and have grown up with 20+ dog breeds, I’ve raised and trained Puppies with my mom for years. I have a huge heart for all animals and don’t have any allergies, I do have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 ball python and a decent sized backyard. I give all animals plenty of love, attention and playtime, there is forest and field parks around me so if your dog is good on a leash I can take them there to run around and play, my neighborhood is quiet and calm all the time other than dogs barking few times throughout the day, they will love it here. I’m an animal nerd and know how to care for almost any animal including reptiles, amphibians and bugs! I currently have no job due to my agoraphobia making it very hard to work and have a steady income, I am available all day every day unless I have plans I have a fenced in yard but live in a small house, all of my animals are people and pet friendly so they will not show any aggression towards you or your pets
About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.
About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!
About: I've taken care of several dogs throughout my life cleaning family pet dogs we've had neighbors dogs dogs in the neighborhood.

“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
About: I grew up with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens, etc.) so I have always been around animals. I have done dog sitting before for the past 2 years. I grew up with 2-3 dogs in the home at all times. I just got into training my dog we have at home so I have some experience training dogs but not a lot. I have experience with all ages of dogs, I love all the ages!! Since I’m currently in college online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, potty breaks and I’m home often, so pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare, boarding, walks, feeding, playtime, and general care based on your pet’s needs. I make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I am responsible, attentive, and always make sure each pet is supervised and cared for properly. I also understand how important trust is, so I provide regular photo and message updates to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. We currently have one dog in the home, we are fostering her but might keep her to adopt. She is a 2 year old, husky/german shepard mix! She loves to play and have fun. LIVE ON BASE!! If you can’t get on, we can schedule a time that works for both of us to meet for pick up/drop off!

“Camryn is a wonderful pet sitter for our doggo and two cats. She really seems to love animals and it shows in her interactions and how she prioritizes their needs in her busy life. We were very happy with her active communication and felt much better leaving town knowing that our pets were in her care. Would not hesitate to recommend her services to others!”
About: My name is Jordan Harris and I am an animal lover hoping to be able to make a difference in you and your pets life! I have worked with animals in my daily career for the last 10 years, beginning as a kennel technician in a large boarding facility, working in doggy daycare, grooming, and basic obedience dog training. I was promoted to General Manager in 2017 and in 2021 I left my job at the boarding facility to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. I currently am a Clinic Office Manager at a veterinary clinic where we care for cats, dogs, and exotic pets. After working in boarding for so many years, I understand that not all pets do well in a boarding facility. I am hoping to offer families and their pets the peace of mind and comfort for your pet however I can, in your home. I currently work full time, 4 days a week. I am free on the weekends and would be more than happy to discuss my weekly availability. 🙂 I do have a 5 year old daughter that may come along from time to time; however only if necessary. If your pet doesn’t do well with children please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I am comfortable dispensing medication/strict diets, and handling dogs with special needs such as behavioral, medical, etc. Tell me how your pet prefers their attention and exercise and we will do it their way!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.
“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and been around others’ as well. I am also a cat owner to a 10 month old kitten. I have experience working in a vet clinic and am starting the CVM program at The Ohio State University in the fall. Currently, I am a college student on summer break with relatively free days. I am also working a part time job, but hours are very flexible. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in their own home, maintaining their normal routines to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, keep the environment clean and secure, and prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication with the owner at all times.
About: I own a husky, american terrier mix, and a cat. I often care for family member pets as well. Whether they are big, small, feline, or canine, I have been around them all and understand how unique each animal can be. I have an open schedule so I can spend as much time with your pet as you like. I am available on weekends for drop-ins, or walks. I understand that each pet and their home deserve the utmost respect. Your needs as well as your pet's are very important to me which is why I will see every request is met.
About: (My boyfriend’s little sister is 11 and heading into middle school, during this summer break she wants to earn some money so I agreed to let her tag along with me and care for pets. She has a huge heart for all kinds of animals and has a golden retriever of her own she loves to take on walks) Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet lover who enjoys working with both dogs and cats equally. I grew up with multiple pets, including having three dogs at once, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have experience caring for a dog with cancer, including giving medication and providing extra attention and comfort. Because of that, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and trust are when it comes to pet care—especially for animals that may need a little extra support. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, from small to large, as well as puppies and kittens. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing with them. One of my favorite things is seeing their personalities come out, from their funny habits to their curiosity about everything around them. I currently have an orange cat named Poseidon, so I’m very familiar with daily care routines and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m always reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule because I currently do not have a job, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I am able to give the pet constant attention, regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and any additional care they may need. Since my schedule is flexible, I can quickly respond to the pet’s needs and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and comfort levels to make sure they feel secure and at ease at all times. I always follow any specific instructions closely, keep a clean and pet-friendly space, and take extra care with things like doors, leashes, and feeding routines to ensure safety. I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, allowing them to warm up at their own pace and building trust naturally. My goal is to make your pet feel just as comfortable and cared for with me as they do with you.

About: Taking care of animals is just something I love to do, your animals will be in good hands with me. Taken out, fed and given water anytime they need it. I would love to know some things your animals like so I can make sure they don’t feel lonely while you are gone. The last thing I want is your animal to feel lonely or abandoned while you are out. I can adjust my prices to whatever you need. Need to pay less that’s alright I can work with you on that. Taking care of animals is just something I love. Any animal at all, cats,birds,dogs, bunnies or guinea pigs. Anything at all I would love to take care of them ! Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to come play with your pups. Im so excited to meet your pups :) I will be letting them out, making sure they get there food and water at the appropriate time & lots and lots of playtime. If you have anything special you want me to do just let me know !
About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.
About: I genuinely love caring for animals—it’s something I truly enjoy! With 3 years of experience, I’ve provided dependable, compassionate care for both dogs and cats of all ages. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekends, which are fully open for walks. On weekdays, I’m available after 5:30 PM for special cases or evening care. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that meets their needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I closely follow any instructions provided by the owner. I also give regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away.

“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. Our dog was treated like family as was evidenced by the photos each day. Definitely recommend!”
“Fantastic!! This was our first experience with using Rover. We could not be happier with the wonderful family that took care of my Enzo while we went away for several days. Hannah and her family took Enzo in as a family member. She kept me informed and sent pictures and videos of him living a good life with her family. Hannah was fabulous!”
“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Naaya had a wonderful time with Joe and I'm very happy about having had Naaya with him. He's kind and very responsive and made sure Naaya was well taken care of and kept us posted via regular texts. Would highly recommend Joe.”
“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“Sally allows us to have a worry free vacation. She always provides wonderful pictures of our boys playing and having fun. She is also in constant communication and responds promptly.”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“Ashleigh was exceptionally caring and looked after Teddy like he was one of her own! Very good communication and I will definitely be sending my friends and family her way.”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Did a test night with Zeus as he can be a bit dramatic and needy due to separation anxiety. Abigail and her husband did a great job keeping him calm and he ate more food than he normally would away from home. I got updates from Abigail on how he was doing and excited to use them again for an upcoming trip!”
“My miniature Goldendoodle was in great spirits after her 7-day stay. I got plenty of updates. No issues were noted with her care. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Our dog really enjoyed his stay with Jamie!! Jamie provided our dog with loads of walks, attention, sent photos, and hugs. We will definitely be booking with Jamie again.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kelly! I booked her to watch my dog, Rex, while I was away on a week-long work trip, and she was the obvious choice from the start. We met for a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable, and it was immediately clear that Kelly is a true dog lover. Rex and her dog, Bandit, hit it off right away, which made the transition so much easier. Since this was Rex’s first time away from home since we rescued him, I was naturally a bit nervous. However, Kelly put me completely at ease by sending plenty of pictures and updates—usually twice a day. Rex ended up having a few accidents, which was a surprise to both of us, but Kelly was incredibly sweet and accommodating about it. We were able to agree on a plan together, and she handled the situation with so much grace. If you are looking for a sitter who will care for your dog like they are her own, Kelly is it. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. Rex and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We've been looking for someone just like Kyla to care for our dog, Hazel. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures, but what sealed it for us was when Hazel showed us how much she liked Kyla when we picked her up from Kyla's care. Dogs don't fake emotion. Hazel likes Kyla, and so do we.”
“Osa felt so comfortable staying with Taylor a second time, she is so wonderful! Also always so quick to respond to messages, sent adorable pictures, and so flexible and on time with pick ups and drop offs!”
