“Abigail did a great job with our pup! Our dog can be anxious when we're away, but Abigail kept working with her and made sure she was taken care of. We'll definitely use her services again!”
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“Sally is great! My three year-old pup got walks each day and Sally sent updates with pictures during his two-day stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he loved being there and really liked Sally. He had such a good time and was so exhausted that he was out like a light when we got home. I highly recommend Sally as a sitter.”

“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Gary and Heather were amazing with our Corgi, Riley! I could tell by the daily pictures they sent that she was comfortable and loved while in their care. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Zach is an amazing sitter! I was nervous about finding a sitter for my dog Riley since he can be very anxious but Zach made him feel right at home. Riley loved him so much to the point he was giving Zach tons of face kisses, which he rarely does with people he doesn’t know well. Zach also gave me lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend using Zach as a sitter!”
“Megan and Jay took wonderful care of Loki! He clearly had a great time with plenty of walks and lots of backyard play. They kept me updated with great communication and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”

Rocky had a great time playing with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed. It was clear that he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I would definitely book with Tyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Lorie’s home is full of love for the dogs she cares for. Her extensive experience shows, and she provided a caring stay for our anxious rescue pooch. We hope to use Lorie again in the future!”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”
About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.
About: Hi, I’m VJ. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own: a 6-year-old female Bernese Mountain Dog and a medium male Goldendoodle. Both are gentle, submissive, and friendly with other dogs. My Bernese especially has a sweet “mama bear” personality and is very nurturing around other pets. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and comfortable. Pets are allowed on the furniture, and I want visiting dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while they are here. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little road noise, and there is a large community park close by where I can take dogs for walks, fresh air, and playtime based on their comfort level and your instructions. I’m best suited for dogs who are potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and not destructive in the home. I like to keep a peaceful environment, so I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, my dogs, and the space. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules you share. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you feel connected while you are away. Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, and respect in a safe home environment. I work from home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and supervision. I can give dogs plenty of attention and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Your dog will be cared for like part of the family in a calm, dog-friendly home. I have two sweet, submissive dogs who are used to being around other pets. My Bernese has a gentle “mama bear” personality, and my Goldendoodle loves to play fetch. I have an invisible fence for my own dogs, but I do not rely on it for visiting pets. Guest dogs are supervised outdoors and taken out on leash unless we discuss and agree on a safe routine together. I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I also like to follow each dog’s normal feeding, potty, walk, playtime, and sleep routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and cared for while you are away.

“Heather did a fantastic job taking care of Tito. She even handled an ant issue for us while we were out of town. She is reliable and my top person to watch our pets.”
“Emily you are absolutely amazing and appreciated! We have such unique kitties and you take such great care of them in our absence. I cannot say enough great things about you and the care and love you give our little furs! Thank you!!! I’d recommend you to any and everyone and would leave even more stars if I could!”
About: I’ll make sure they get an opportunity to enjoy themselves when you’re not available, and I’ll make sure their needs are met. You book me, you can trust your pet is taken care of. Flexible schedule. Available weekends upon special request. M-F, 9am to 10am, 12pm to 1pm, 4pm to 5pm are only times available as of right now I have a fenced yard, and two crates available. I prefer to understand the animal and client’s normal routine and proactively plan a meet and greet so the animal becomes familiar with me before further interactions.
“We are so happy with Genevieve and are so glad to find her! She is dependable, calming to our anxious maltese, and very attention to detail. We can tell she loves what she does. Will be booking her again!”
“Grace is the best! Our cat can be quite difficult and she was amazing with him! She took great care of him and I was never worried about him during our trip like I usually am. We will definitely hire her again!”
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Marlyn and she is great! Our two cats love her and she is very communicative and willing go the extra mile for our cats! We will continue to book with her!”
“Carina took great care of my sweet kitty, who needs medication morning and night. I felt very relieved to have someone who could manage that while I was out of town. Definitely recommend.”
“Andi was amazing! Very enthusiastic. We have 3 cats and one is usually very shy. She usually only comes out once guests have left. The first day she came out to meet Andi and bonded with her right away. Andi was very attentive and gave us great updates. It gave us less anxiety leaving our furry friends because we received such detailed notes each day. We will definitely be booking with Andi again.”
“Chris did another fine job for us. He did all we asked and more. We got detailed reports from him. He showed up at fairly consistent times. Though it must be hard on our cat to have us leave, it sounded like he did his best to shower some love on our little girl. I believe he has a real heart for cats. Thanks Chris!”

“Regan was amazing! She was great at communicating and super reliable. She did awesome with our cat Fiona and sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. We will definitely be reaching back out for help in the future. Thanks so much Regan!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Westerville
About: I feel that they have such a beautiful and special connection with their owners, which for me is something wonderful and I know how difficult it is to leave it with someone else, but with me your pets will be in good hands. With my fur baby your baby will have a good game time! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to attend to your fur baby needs. I am available for booking on weekdays and weekends at any time I have a patio with a roof where they can play all day and spend their energy, I also have everything your baby needs like food and water bolw, bed and a cage if need it
“What a fabulous experience with Zach! He spent time with our virtual meet and greet making minor adjustments to assure Coleman’s safety and my comfort. He understands how much pets mean as family members and works hard to accommodate. His place is set up to care for pups in separate areas if necessary. Lots of photos and video throughout the stay. I highly recommend him.”
“I had something come up last minute and needed somewhere to take my boy for the day, and Ariana was able to accommodate us on short notice. He’s very anxious and doesn’t typically thrive in new environments and she took such good care of him and communicated all throughout day!”
“Sally was so great with my pup Marge. I have a really hard time finding people I trust with her, as she is a bit reactive and can be a little mischevious ? Marge was so excited to go back to her house, and Sally kept me informed with updates all throughout the day that brightened my work day. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Fantastic experience, very communicative and flexible, sent great pictures of my dog and even a video of her having a great time! Safe neighborhood and clean home, with a fun backyard for the dogs to play in. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”

About: In addition to growing up with both dogs and cats of my own, I have been caring for pets through Rover for nearly 8 years now and I know exactly how much work goes into taking care of man's best friend! Whether you have an energetic puppy, a special needs senior, or family felines, I am here to help! I'm WFH full-time and am able to offer boarding and doggy daycare for small breeds only (under 15lbs due to weight restrictions at my apartment, house-trained, and not prone to loud barking or urine marking), but since I have two cats with limited space, I require a meet and greet in my home prior to booking. While I do offer house sitting and drop-in visits, I have a diabetic cat that requires insulin injections 8am & 8pm which does mean I have to stay pretty local for overnight & prefer no more than 5 nights (also if you have a diabetic cat too, I got you!). House sitting rates includes staying in your home around the clock, aside from my twice a day trips home and any errands or other drop-ins I might have. If 30-60 min drop ins are too short for your fur baby's needs, please select house sitting option and I will work with you to stay in the home as much as you need even if overnights aren't necessary :) When first meeting clients I like to do a thorough walk-through of everything there is to know about their pup's feeding and walking schedule as well as about the home (alarms, spare keys, guest room etc.) that way I have less questions for the owner while they are away and can confidently jump into the dog's regular routine without any hiccups.
About: Hi! You can call me Rose (: I’m that person who lights up whenever a dog walks into a room. More than likely, I will pet or talk to your dog before I start a conversation with you...I’ve always had dogs in my household growing up. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years which sparked my love for dogs. I have also fostered a few dogs during COVID. No matter the breed, size, age, color, I will spoil and love your dog to my fullest potential. I’m always trying to find new ways to entertain dogs wether it’s by walking, playing with a garden hose, zoomies in the backyard, whatever I can do to make sure your dog is having the time of their life while you’re away. I work from home so I am home all day during the week! I do run errands during the week but am only gone for an hour or so at a time. While I work from home, I will mainly be in my office space but will always be checking in on your doggo. I hope they would be comfortable enough to join me in my office while I work! I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks. If your dog requires or is more comfortable in a crate, I can comfortably fit one in my home as well.
About: Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home. I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.
About: I have had a dog growing up ever since I was a little girl. I have always puppy sat for past neighbors and family members and treat them as my own! I love dogs, always have and now have my own Bernese mountain dog and chocolate lab! Very available and flexible with time to help care for your fur babies! I can provide as many potty breaks as needed- also have a dog park within our apartment neighborhood! As always I will treat any home I enter with the greatest respect and caution and will welcome mine to any dog I dog sit!
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”

“Katherine took great care of my pup. She took her on a long walk and even to a stream. I really appreciate the attention and care she provided. Thank you, Katherine!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. My life has revolved around caring for my own dogs. I have one senior dog & he'd like to make new friends. I work full time from home. I lost my female in February. I have a senior lab mix who would like company & i would like more interaction with dogs. My husband works part time from home. We have a nice yard for play time. I have a senior lab mix & he was trained on an underground fence . The yard is partially fenced in. It's a great space for play time
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”
About: Have volunteered for Bird of Prey in SC which entailed cleaning the cages, feeding, PR for visitors. Have had corn snakes, hamsters, ferrets, rats, geiko. If you have a shy pet, my services are tailored to YOUR pet’s personality. Retired, therefore I have a flexible schedule for all types of pets. Will accept long term set schedule or shorter - whatever meets your needs. I will watch your pet in its own non-smoking, home environment. Tell me how you want things done and I’ll follow directions. Providing exceptional care is my pleasure.
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”

“Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽”
“Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️”
“Elizabeth has cared for my dogs and cat many times over the years! She always goes above and beyond!!!! I highly recommend her! She is responsible.... caring and loves animals! She is 100 reliable!”

“Therry was great with my dog Vinny!! He really seemed to love her and she was very reliable with sending me pictures and updates of him throughout. I will definitely be trusting Therry with Vinny in the future”

I can give dogs plenty of attention and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Your dog will be cared for like part of the family in a calm, dog-friendly home. I have two sweet, submissive dogs who are used to being around other pets. My Bernese has a gentle “mama bear” personality, and my Goldendoodle loves to play fetch. I have an invisible fence for my own dogs, but I do not rely on it for visiting pets. Guest dogs are supervised outdoors and taken out on leash unless we discuss and agree on a safe routine together. I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I also like to follow each dog’s normal feeding, potty, walk, playtime, and sleep routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and cared for while you are away.
About: My 16yo Dachshund-mix has been in my family since her puppy years, and in her old age I wanted to maximize her health-span/quality of life. I walk her every day, make her food, and keep her strong with the occasional wrestling match. (: I have quite a wide range of availability, only working part time for the time being. I'm always hitting parks around me so your dog is in for some adventure! My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park to burn some energy in and possibly socialize. If your dog likes to run in the range of 2+ miles, I'm always looking for a jogging buddy. (:
About: I am great with animals, your pet would love their stay with me! Small or big, kind or feisty, I will win their hearts and love them! My attention will always go to your pet(s). They have a huge space to run around in the backyard, and lots of space in our house. I always have time for animals and many cute cuddles! I provide high-quality and customized boarding and daycare. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of space in our house. I have 2 very close parks with big fields and many different trails. All dogs love walking there!!! I will take only 1 client at a time, but I can take care of 2 dogs. I am very flexible if you need to make any adjustments! I don't have any pets, so your dog(s) will get all the attention. Your furry friend will be treated like our family during his/her stay. Your dog can expect daily walks and lots of playtime. Our guest will receive plenty of affection and will be treated with love and respect by all the members of my family. I'm available after 3 pm on weekdays and full time available on weekends. If you think your dog can be okay for up to 7 hours while I'm at work, you are welcome to bring them. For boarding a meet and greet is required for new clients. We have no other pets so they'd receive all the attention. Feel free to bring their toys and treats, we'll be sure to use them!

“Abigail did a great job with our pup! Our dog can be anxious when we're away, but Abigail kept working with her and made sure she was taken care of. We'll definitely use her services again!”
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“Sally is great! My three year-old pup got walks each day and Sally sent updates with pictures during his two-day stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he loved being there and really liked Sally. He had such a good time and was so exhausted that he was out like a light when we got home. I highly recommend Sally as a sitter.”

Zach also gave me lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend using Zach as a sitter!”

About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.
About: Hi, I’m VJ. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own: a 6-year-old female Bernese Mountain Dog and a medium male Goldendoodle. Both are gentle, submissive, and friendly with other dogs. My Bernese especially has a sweet “mama bear” personality and is very nurturing around other pets. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and comfortable. Pets are allowed on the furniture, and I want visiting dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while they are here. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little road noise, and there is a large community park close by where I can take dogs for walks, fresh air, and playtime based on their comfort level and your instructions. I’m best suited for dogs who are potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and not destructive in the home. I like to keep a peaceful environment, so I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, my dogs, and the space. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules you share. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you feel connected while you are away. Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, and respect in a safe home environment.

“This was Maddox’s first stay with Nicholas and Emily and it went very well. He went on daily walks and had a playmate with their own dog. They sent daily pictures and updates that were much appreciated. I would definitely have Maddox stay with them again.”
“Allison is wonderful! She was very communicative before and during Oz’s stay and was serious about understanding his routines and habits. We felt great knowing he was getting her full attention for walks, snuggles, and care! Highly recommend!!”
“My dog had an awesome time with Karl and came back happy and tired out. Karl is very responsive, sent us daily updates, and was flexible when our travel plans changed last minute. We've already booked again with him for our next vacation!”
“Amazing once again! Their entire family shows so much love to Frankie. She always comes home better behaved and happy as can be! Loni goes above and beyond and I know Frankie’s in the best hands possible.”
“I can’t say enough about Mar!!! She made me feel like I was leaving my Queen with a family member. Her care and concern being the first time Queen was with her was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and my dog got along with her and other dogs she cared for. I will definitely be booking again and will refer to others. Thank you so much Mar!!”
“We had a great experience with Ashley Communication was excellent throughout, and they were very patient and attentive with our dog. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We're very happy with the service and would definitely recommend!”
“Ann is clearly a dog lover. She and my Pudgie were a perfect match. She took her on walks, let her nap on the couch, and sent me daily updates with photos. Hoping she can keep Pudgie again.”
