“Great experience for my Dude! He was very well taken care of. She was mindful of his skin condition and even attempted to bath him even when she was not asked too. Pictures were great especially the one with cinderellas castle in the background. Thank you Monica and family.”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“Shantel pulled through for us on a last minute boarding. Kai seemed to enjoy her best life at Shantell's based on the pictures we got back. Great communication, would choose her again if we needed to.”
“Leila is a very good dog sitter she watched my 3 month old puppy for two days and i loved the fact that she sent me a lot of photos of my pup and i know it's more work to care for puppies my pup looked so happy and i was very comfortable with knowing that. Yes i will definitely use her services again. Thank you Leila.”
“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”
“I highly recommend Laurie for dog sitting! She took excellent care of my dog, showing great attention and affection. Laurie was reliable and responsible, and she kept me updated with photos and messages, making me feel at ease. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Thank you, Laurie, for your outstanding service!”
“Grateful for Maria for allowing me to have a worry-free vacation and caring for Cody like he is her own! Will definitely return. Thank you Maria for flexibility, updates, and the photos!”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Gwen took very good care for my little guy (Noel) as he had surgery days prior to his stay. Gwen made sure he took his medicine on time and sent me photos throughout his stay. He’ll look forward staying again next time we’re around. Thank you :)”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“We are so thrilled with Emily! With how nervous our dog is, he warmed up immediately to her and even started to come out of his shell so soon. Emily is very thoughtful and courteous with how much she updates us. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rochelle was AWESOME!!! Home away from Home, for MyMann!! Highly recommend her services....We left MyMann in her care for 4 days, we received daily photos and updates, very appreciated. Thank you for your love and care for MyMann!”
“Alexandra was great and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a long weekend. She has a beautiful property where she took our dog out for daily hikes. Great communication throughout her visit and we received regular photos. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon and her family took outstanding care of our aging JRT while we travelled. She was receptive to our list of suggestions and kept in communication during our trip, sending us photos of Daisy playing and continuing normal patterns which were an assurance that all was well. We wondered if Daisy missed us at all! We would highly recommend Sharon as an outstanding dog-sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, including my own Pekingese and my family members dogs. Every dog to me are babies no matter how big or small they are. They deserve the best care which I can give them. I adapt fast to any type of personality. Dogs just like humans have their own unique personalities. I’m currently back from college and I have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I currently am looking for a part-time job which still leaves me with a lot of time to look after your pups. I have one friendly Pekingese, who can keep your dog company if needed. I will always make sure to clean up after the pups. I will always leave your home the same way it was when I arrived
“Jennifer was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and went above and beyond to care for my cats while I was away. She gave detailed information and sent me pics, which was awesome! Even though the cats were hiding!”
“Gilian is FANTASTIC! She had an instant rapport with all 3 of our kitties and she also was able to administer a pill to our cat Bruno easily. She has been awesome with communication and followed all our instructions perfectly. A+!”
About: I've always wanted a cat of my own, but unfortunately my family is allergic. Even though I haven't been able to have one at home, I've always loved being around cats and have taken the time to learn how to properly care for them. I understand the importance of keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, respecting each cat's unique personality, and giving them attention on their own terms. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll give them plenty of affection (if they want it!), keep their routine consistent, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I know that every cat is different, and I'll always care for yours with the same patience, respect, and love I'd give my own if I were lucky enough to have one.
“Monica was amazing! She was so flexible with us and our two cats. She housed them for a night and then when we couldn't have them at our hotel took them back in for 4 days without question. They returned to us happy and healthy! She has a great space and sent us pictures of our boys where they would settle for the evening. Monica was also very responsive immediately if we had questions and with pick up drop off times. Definitely recommend!”
“Jenna communicates so well! Inga is a rescue who had a rough 2 years as a pup. It has taken Inga 14 years of TLC from us to get to where she is - lovable and sweet. Jenna is experienced and knows how to approach Inga and win her over her affection. Kudos to Jenna❣️”
About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years. The first job I ever had was going to people’s homes and walking their pups for an hour, checking food and water bowls as well as litter boxes, or even staying the night there. For the past 15 years, since I was 15 years old, I’ve cared for almost every species of house pet you can think of, in just about every way that the owners needed.
“Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend”
“Melissa and Angel were great with Meeka , she sent me pictures and videos through the weekend. Meeka looked very happy and relaxed at their house. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone”
About: I've volunteered at AWSOM Animal Shelter walking dogs & caring for cats. I've walked & taken care of dogs for friends and neighbors. Personally, I have 3 cats and a dog! I have a flexible schedule. I am available days & nights as well as on short notice. My Rover calendar is updated frequently, so booking availability is accurate! I have experience taking care of puppies and dogs that require close supervision. I can stay with pets when necessary, or drop by for visits & care throughout the day depending on your and your pet's needs.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!
“Zeus loved his stay. I enjoy receiving multiple pictures of my fur baby during his boarding. Abner went out of his way to pick up Zeus, for which I appreciated, and reduced some of my pre travel stress. I will be using him again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals in general since a young age, with my grandpa running a small farm. I’ve grown up around breeds like German Shepherds, and have always taken care of friends’ dogs while they were in vacation. I learned a lot from my fiancé, who ran a successful dog walking business in New York City Give yourself peace of mind, your dog is in safe, loving, caring hands. I’m currently working from home with a special schedule which I take advantage of as it frees up a lot of time during the day. Pet care fits into it quite easily, as I have a daily routine I follow which includes dog walks, time with the dogs outside and of course feedings (and tending medicine when needed). I have a home situated on a quiet, secluded private lot that backs up onto a river with several trails within a short walking distance. The yard is secluded, well shaded and has ample space. I take care to be active with the dogs, so I usually toss frisbees or play fetch several times a day to keep them content. I walk my dogs twice around the neighborhood. Besides home, I have a number of dog-friendly trails and parks both in East Stroudsburg and nearby where I bring the dogs for some quality time outside. This includes hiking on trails and in the mountains, bringing the dogs to rivers or lakes, I mix it up each week depending on the weather conditions. Any time I go on an outdoor adventure, I make sure I have the owner’s consent. Their dogs will always be hydrated and have a snack. I only ask that if your dog has specific dietary needs or is taking medication, that you provide me with the necessary information and schedule. I have two modes of transport for dogs, both of which offer plenty of space, safety and comfort for the dogs while en route.
“Kimberly was awesome! She communicated with us everyday and always made sure to send several photos during her visits. It was a pleasure to work with her and we would absolutely work with her again.”

“Leila was amazing, this was the first time Ash had been away from us since we got him last year. He was nervous and made a mess at Leila's, she was so kind about it! We are working on his anxiety and she made it much easier for us to leave him for the day. We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: My name is Monica. I have taken care of pets for over 29 years. I currently have 3 cats both neutered. One is a senior 15 yrs old, then there is 7 yrs and 1 yr. They keep to themselves. Over the years many dogs and cats have came and went each showing their individuality. Each pet has a need which will be met according to your standards. If you book me for a Board or even a day stay I promise to have you and your furry friend 100% satisfied. I can also walk them,and do drop bys. Your pet will always have someone around in my home(if they like children). It can be hard to find someone as trustworthy as it is for me. They are just as much children and finding the right person takes time. I'm willing to show I am trustworthy And will treat them as my own. I have 3 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax. Due to health I can only take dogs up to 18 lbs.

“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
“Seb took excellent care of our dog. We were in the area for our son's wedding and wanted a safe and fun place for our dog. Seb went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful and responsive prior to our dog's stay. He took excellent care of our baby while we were away. She had lots of activity and friendly dogs to play with. The pictures Seb sent during her stay kept my mind at ease. I highly recommend Seb. He is excellent with dogs and a genuinely kind and lovely person.”
“Maria is amazing loving person . She took great care of our baby. She was letting us know every few minutes how’s our baby doing . Our baby is going back to spend another day with miss Maria. Would recommend this place to everyone who ever visiting camel beach or surrounding area.loved her service.”
About: Taking care of animals is my calling! They love me and I love them. I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since a young age. I have worked in the dog grooming business training to hopefully own my own dog hotel in the near future! I also have worked at boarding facilities for dogs/cats. I have found that I truly love anything that provides a better space for animal boarding/care. I’m excited to have expanded my experience in dog sitting/walking! I will be offering grooming to the pups I dog sit/walk so feel free to ask about getting a bath/groom! Currently I work full time at a veterinary facility/grooming facility. I can provide my services so long as the dates are available on my schedule! :) Each pet would be cared for differently according to their needs. Lots of love will be given to each dog I sit/walk, if allowed a few treats and toys for good behavior, and safety for the dogs and myself will be the main priority.
About: Since pre-teen, I grew up with dogs mostly as my parents had several dogs in the house. I love to care for dogs and make sure they’re happy and loved. Before Rover, I’ve walked and looked after neighbors’ dogs and owners have confided in me to care for them while they are away (i.e., family vacations, business trips, etc…). Currently my job is fully remote and I can mainly dog-sit during the day on a weekly basis. During the weekends, I can board, house sit and help in any way that I can with advance notice. My apartment is pet friendly and it is safe environment for dogs of any type. Apartment has easy dog access and Center City neighborhood is very safe. I live in between Rittenhouse Square Park and Washington Square park (~5mins walk).

“Alexandra was an amazing dog sitter! She was communicative and responsible, and kept mme constantly updated! It was my first time using Rover, and was really nervous in general, but Alexandra handled it all wih well elegance and grace. She’s the best! Ragnar came back happy and loved! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sophie and Finn seemed to do well and were calm and not stressed. And that’s really amazing for Sophie with a new person. Enjoyed meeting Jahada & her fiancé both are nice, friendly people. We definitely want to leave the dogs with them the next time we’re in the area.”
“Awesome!!! Dasher made a new best friend! On our second day, he was wagging his tail and super excited as we drove up her driveway. He had a second home. She kept in touch with me throughout the two days, and sent me the cutest pictures of him. He truly loves her. We were able to enjoy our time at Wolf Lodge without any worries about our baby. Thank you!!! xoxo”
“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”
“We had a great experience with Rochelle! She was so nice and sent many videos of our girl throughout the day! Our mind was at ease know she was comfortable with her daycare!”
“My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the care Joann and Angelina provided for Minnie! From the moment we met, I knew my Minnie would be in good hands. She sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel so reassured. My Minnie came back home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Joann’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really showed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you for treating Minnie like family! She misses Remi already !!!!”
About: I have been in pet care since I 2019 starting with my own puppy. Since then I have worked in professional pet care in education and training through Petco and local businesses. I am dedicated to providing the best and personalized care to your fur baby. I know how important trusting someone to watch over your pet is. I myself have three dogs, two cats, one bird, one spider, five frogs, and one house full of beautiful chaos and love. I want to be the person to put your mind at ease while you are away. During my time with your animals, I will treat them as they are my own with kindness and respect. I will be honored to help care for your little (or big) pet babies! I want this to be my full time job as much as possible. I have my internship (animal care at a local AZA certified zoo) Monday and Friday, but am otherwise free. I have a two story duplex with a fenced in yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I love being outdoors and can even offer hikes after getting to know your dogs a little more. I thrive on attention to detail and can even do medication administration and body examinations.
“Wow! I can not say enough good things about Katie, Francesco and their pet-sitting! They took the best care of our pups, and our dogs came back nice and tired from having such a great time! I would highly recommend!”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m organized and flexible, which allows me to stay consistent with each pet’s schedule and needs.

I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. In my client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment by following their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep the home clean and secure while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I make sure pets get regular potty breaks, exercise, affection, and supervision throughout the day so they feel cared for and stress-free while their owners are away. Details of my home are it is 2300 sq ft, plenty of space for playtime or to stretch the paws, and 26 private acres of peaceful woodlands trails.
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals, but predominantly dogs and cats. I’ve nannied for years and cared for family pets with love. Dogs and cats are really God’s gift to humans! I work from home and I can also take my laptop with me anywhere in a pinch, and I know I also will have plenty of breaks through the day to care for the pups or cats! I live in an apartment where animas are welcome on the cozy sofa for lots of snuggles. Walks and dog park could be a good option or just potty trips outside and relaxing indoors with some walks in between. And play!

“Gill was able to do a meet-and-greet with us and walk Poppy on short notice! It is reassuring knowing that our puppy was able to have great care right off the get-go. Gill sent us pictures and gave us a descriptive update on how the walk went while we weren't home. We appreciate her love for animals and the thoroughness of care!”
“This is the first time I've used an online service to walk my dogs and I was definitely nervous. We have two rotties and needed to make sure they would be walked safely and the walker could match their energy. They are not aggressive but are big dogs that can easily drag you if you are not in control of the walk. Ashley came for a meet and greet and from the way she handled the very first interaction we knew she was the right fit for our dogs. We were out of town and getting pictures of the dogs while out on the walk was really comforting. I loved seeing their faces as they enjoyed their time out with Ashley. I absolutely recommend her and will be booking her again!”

About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years. The first job I ever had was going to people’s homes and walking their pups for an hour, checking food and water bowls as well as litter boxes, or even staying the night there.

Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!

Let me know if you have any sensitivities/ prefer certain cleaning products. Look Forward to meeting you & your pets and learning about their needs. I make sure to feed the pets based on what their owner has prescribed and follow the routine! I also try to provide the dogs as much exercise as I can - if this is suggested -- so they get exercise and get to run around outside. For cats, I always clean the litterbox 2x a day - and spend time with them playing or cuddling. Dogs get loads of cuddles, scritches, and backmassages too. If you have cats that are part time outdoor cats and also indoor cats -- I will only let the cats out, while I am at the house 100% of the time and supervising them, as I want to ensure that your pets are safe.

About: I have helped take care of numerous types of animals. I help local animal shelters and local animal rehabilitation centers in and around the Poconos! I am currently available any day of the week! My calender is always up to date for you to see if we are a good match 🤗 I can crate, walk, feed, and love any animal that needs it. I have had all kinds of pets growing up so I'm not shy about giving animals the attention and love they deserve.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Monica has been a life saver for me and my baby. She has a good, flexible schedule and she's always very professional. My rascal enjoys going on walks with her. 10/10 recommend”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the combination of genuine love for animals, reliability, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with special medical or behavioral needs. I go beyond basic pet care by offering extra services like daily walk routines, photo and video updates, and even basic training reinforcement when requested. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives my clients peace of mind knowing their pets are in safe, capable hands. I’m known for being flexible, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations—qualities that help dogs feel secure and happy in my care. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I work part-time and choose my days on and off, I work at Kidspeace as a mental health technician! I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate with yours! I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care for pets both in my own home and in the homes of others. When caring for animals in my home, I ensure they have a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that mirrors the routine they’re used to—complete with regular feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I respect their space and closely follow all instructions regarding the pet’s care, including diet, medication, and behavior needs. I aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while keeping the home neat and secure. I also provide consistent updates, including photos and messages, to keep owners reassured while they’re away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and the highest level of care.
About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:

“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“Shantel pulled through for us on a last minute boarding. Kai seemed to enjoy her best life at Shantell's based on the pictures we got back. Great communication, would choose her again if we needed to.”
“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”

“Mario always enjoys his time with Marleny and her family. Other dogs he is able to play with and fenced yard to run around. He welcomed himself right in this past weekend at drop off. We will keep using Marleny to care for our pup.”
“We left our boy with Cristel for 4 nights when we had to go out of town. She kept us updated with photos and videos at different times throughout the days to make sure we knew he was being taken care of. Baxter seemed relaxed and content when we picked him up. Would be glad to use Cristel again. Thank you!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Roosevelt took great care of my foster dog, Spaghetti, who has separation anxiety! He was communicative and easy to coordinate with, and sent cute pictures of their walks!”
“Kim was incredibly concerned about my dog, Laila. I neglected to inform her about my dog’s open wound, and she kindly offered to take her to my veterinarian. That’s the kind of caring and attentive caregiver I look for, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great caregiver.”
“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”
“Mushroom had the best time with Jack and Joanne. He loved to run and play with their one dog who matched his energy. I know he had a good time because when I got him home he was exhausted. Thank you Nevi! Oh, and Jack and Joanne😂”
