“Vivian L. and family did a fantastic job of taking care of our two chihuahuas while we were away on vacation for the week. We were provided unsolicited updates at multiple times throughout each day that they were in her care. We will definitely continue to use Vivian L. for any future dog sitting needs. We cannot provide a much stronger recommendation and reference to the excellent care provided. Vivian L. should be your first point of contact when needing a dog sitter.”
“Melissa is an angel! She is incredible with all dogs and so accommodating and kind, even with some very short notice help we needed. Our senior dog loved her and her yard, I cannot recommend her enough, we are so happy we have found her for future sitting.”
“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“My pups had so much fun! The pictures and videos put a smile on my face and put me at ease to know my dogs were having a great time at a new place. Milo found a new best friend ?. I'm sure my pups can't wait to visit again and get more cuddles! Thank you!”
“We took our two boys while traveling and they really enjoyed their time and I could tell they quickly warmed up to Michelle and her husband!!! My younger dog has anxiety and is nervous around men but he really bonded with them and seemed so relaxed!! They were happy when we arrived to pick them up but still went to get pets from them while chatting. She sent pictures every day and I could tell they really enjoyed their backyard every day which is their favorite place to be at home!! Their communication was great and I felt relaxed to have such a great sitter and I will definitely be using them again whenever we travel!!!”
“Gracie was well cared for by Carol. She is very experienced with dogs. Great fenced in backyard which was safe for a puppy to run around. I have a 6 month old puppy who is a ball of energy. I think she exhausted everyone 😊”
“Augusta was great! My dog is always happy to see her. I even had a flight cancelation and was late picking my dog up and Augusta was completely understanding and flexible.”
“Beatriz is the GOAT of dog sitters.She is fastidious in every area of pet care. Plus her house is immaculate and all the animals she cares for are happy campers. Pip and I are truly blessed and grateful to have found this amazing person. I just hope that he will want to come back home after being with Beatriz an original dog whisperer. Thank you for such loving care.”
“I recently left my 1 year old lab with Jordan for 2 weeks while I was out of the country for vacation. She texted me updates and photos during my time away. My dog was calm and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Jordan.”
“Sharon is the best! My Reggie is high-energy and used to lots of attention and activity, and Sharon made sure he got lots of play time, with toys and with other dogs. Sharon sent photos daily, with updates - it was a huge relief knowing that my Reggie was being taken care of so well. Thanks Sharon for treating Reggie with so much love - I know he can be a handful! 🐶”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Repeat customer!! Gary is so great with our senior pug. He goes above and beyond and has so much compassion. Being a senior pug he gets finicky with eating at times. Gary spoon feed him as we sometimes need to do at home and thought of other creative ways to hmget him to eat. Gary will treat your furbaby as if they are his own. We highly recommend Gary.”
“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Deanna was great and able to work with my 60-pound deaf puppy, and Maxwell loved having fellow dog friends to spend time with. Came back absolutely tuckered out.”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Took great care of our pup Jeter while I was away for business! Thankful for the outside time they made sure he had and of course making his stay feel just like being at home!”
“This was Winston’s second stay with Rebecca and he had a fabulous time! I got lots of updates and photos, and he looked happy and well cared for! We’ll certainly book with Rebecca again!”
“Brittany was great, she let me bring my dogs over before my scheduled date so the dogs would be a little more comfortable. She was great with the dogs and she responded quickly to any messages. I will be using her again in the future.”
“Another amazing stay with Beatriz and Hayden! Our little Ike loved every minute of his week with them being spoiled and loved on! They truly go above and beyond for anyone in their care! We can’t wait to book them again, they are truly the best of the best! Our sweet boy absolutely loves his time with them!”

“Rebecca showed up twice a day as we discussed, put out food and water for my suspicious of strangers cat, Sophie. Sophie prefers not to interact with new people without me. No issues came up. Rebecca responded to any questions I had while I was on my trip. I would like the app better without the push noitification lag I experienced when Rebecca visited.”
“Hailey was so wonderful! She provided daily updates and did a great job caring for my cats while I was gone during the week. I knew they were in great hands😊I would definitely rebook with Hailey again in the future!”
“Abby Jo was available and willing to help on a short notice and my cat Mario loved her! She was very communicative during her drop in with pictures, updates, and concerns. I look forward to her help in the future!!”
“Amanda was responsive and took multiple pictures each visit. She also did not mind last minute changes in regards to feeding my fish, key drop -off, etc, and could be reached with questions, concerns and updates by phone easily. When I did not respond to the pictures she was sending she even reached out to my personal contact to make sure I was getting them after a couple of days. Will definitely recommend and will be using in the future if available”
“Heather was wonderful with my cats! She provided excellent updates and pictures. She made sure that one cat always got to play with her favorite toy. My other cat is very shy. In the past, the sitters haven’t been able to get her to come out at all, and Heather had her feeling comfortable after a couple of days! We will always try to use her when we travel.”
“Ashlyn was great. She came 4x a week for 5-6 weeks when I was out of state. She stayed and played with my cat for a bit and didn't just feed, clean, and run. I will 100% use her again.”
“Absolutely wonderful and reliable !! Went out of his way to care for my birds and cat while I was away . Went the extra mile and used his own timer so my birds would have their lights on during the day. A really great guy !!”
“Rachel took great care of all 4 of my cats! She spent time with them and gave Jake his meds, no problem. She's got a great attitude and attention to detail. I'd definitely use her again.”
“Claire was great! She was on time for the check ins and took care of Lil Cat as if he were her own. She took photos and provided feedback and she also took the time to give him the ice he loves so much in his water! We would definitely have her in our home again taking care of Lil Cat!”
“Mallory is excellent! She keeps in touch, I know exactly what is going on which is exactly how I like it :) She takes care of everything- sometimes better than I could. It is nice knowing when you leave your pets they are in very capable hands, Mallory is that person for sure.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!

About: Growing up, my family relied on me to care for our dogs, cats, and hamsters. I now live in my own home with 4 cat babies. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for several neighbors. I'm experienced at dog and cat walking, bathing, feeding, and medicine-giving. During the week I work as a full time engineer and cat mom. On the weekends, I have plenty of free time to hang out, play in the yard, or go for walks with your pet. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages (1 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 6yrs). They are friendly and well-adapted to other dogs and cats. They often have playdates with my parent's 16 year old cat and 7 month old kitten. Each of my cats are vaccinated, neutered, and love making new friends! In your home, I will accommodate any requests you may have. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pet above all else.
About: Animals have been a passion of mine my entire life! I have owned and loved cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10. I would love to show that same love to your babies, too! I am available to do in-house stays, walking, play dates, and much more! I work full-time, but work from home so that makes it easy for me to care for your furry friend. My weekends are usually filled with playing with my puppies, but I would love to make time for your pets to join us for walks or play dates! I have a fenced in yard and an open floor plan home that allows for plenty of room to play, rain or shine. I live on a quiet street that makes walking your pet a breeze. All doors remain shut in my home to ensure no nosy pups can get in to things that they should not. I am big on taking pictures and can keep you updated on the status of your pet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your pet in my care!
About: I am an experienced animal foster "mom" (dogs and cats), and an animal shelter volunteer. Working at the shelter has given me a wide range of experience including but not limited to: pets with special needs, behavioral issues and seniors . I will cater to your pets needs and have wonderful flexibility during the day for walks and care! I love animals and people which makes this the perfect position for me! I love the outdoors, hiking, walking and exploring the beauty of nature. I know pet first aid and CPR, experience administering medicine in liquid, pill, and even inhalers(my kitty has asthma)! Let me give your pet the royal treatment in your absence! I have a flexible work schedule, and WFH for your housesitting needs. Tax season can be very busy for me so advance requests are best. I have 2 dogs of my own, a large yard and I enjoy staying active outside. I always have a first aid kit, headlamp and well suited pet transportation vehicle. I'm involved in the community in many different ways so maybe we already know eachother or have mutual friends/colleagues!
“I brought my two fur babies to Pittsburgh, PA to be with me while I attended my class reunion. I found Ms. Carol on Rover. Immediately when I saw her face I knew she was the one I could trust my babies with. Ms. Carol, I’m so pleased to have met you. My babies were safe, looked after as if they were hers, attended to when needed, but most importantly, welcomed into her home by her fur babies.”

I have the ability to be able to stay home with my family and my pets and care for them during the day and night making sure no one is ever alone ❤️ Currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old and 2 year old twins!

Lots of room for playing outside in the safety of not having to worry about your pets roaming off. We have a crate available for dogs who need it and are crate trained. Of course only if the owner request will they be in it.

“Jessica was so great! She was very accommodating to me needing to drop Noodle off super early in the morning and sent me pictures & updates throughout the day. Highly recommend & will definitely use again! :)”
About: Although this account is under my name, this is a team effort with my wife. We’re a young, energetic couple who have all the time and patience your pup deserves. A fully fenced yard out back provides a great place for playtime, and there’s always a spot on the couch to hang out with us. We have raised rates due to high demand going into the summer. If you’re a returning client, please reach out and if there are any issues with cost, we can work something out. I work a 9-to-5 schedule from home and I tend to spend a lot of my free time there as well. My wife is also home most of the day, so we have plenty of time throughout the week to give your dog the attention they need! My fully fenced yard, quiet house and neighborhood are perfect for dogs who are looking to relax on their vacation, but I have plenty of energy to walk and play with them too. Your dog will be hosted by our Bernedoodle, Finn, who loves making new friends.
“Beatriz was amazing!!! She was so willing to help us in a bind for a last minute booking and we are so glad we met her! We have 2 chihuahua mixes; one is very anxious and can be a handful sometimes. He is quite fearful of new people, animals, and places. Within minutes of us dropping the dogs off, Beatriz texted me photos of both dogs playing in a pack with others and even snuggling up with her soaking up the attention! It was amazing. She is so patient and kind. Truly someone we would certainly trust with our dogs again!”
About: I was raised around animals, including horses and a beagle kennel. Then, I had a sweet chihuahua for 13 years that I raised and trained from a puppy. I really do love all animals, and timid cats usually take a liking to me. I’m currently working part time, so pet care fits in to my daily schedule very well. I’m flexible with availability and commute, and read care instructions carefully. I have a two story house with a unfenced backyard that I can watch small to medium sized pets. When going to client’s home, I follow care instructions very closely and provide lots of love and attention for the fur babies.
About: I'm a social worker, and very easy going, I make sure to work around your schedule and needs so you feel completely comfortable as I watch your pets. I’m always around the area since I typically only go on vacation once a year. I work overnights but throughout the week my husband works from home as well so someone is always around to care for your dog. My schedule changes so i'm typically easy to accommodate whatever you may need. I have 3 dogs of my own, and have owned dogs all of my life. I treat my dogs and others dogs like my own family. I'll love, pet, cuddle, snuggle, and play with your dog as much as you would even if you're gone.

I make sure to take a lot of pictures so you know your pup or cat is taken care of and you don't have to worry about a thing while you are gone.
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
About: I provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether caring for energetic puppies, adult pets, or senior animals who need extra attention, I focus on providing reliable, loving care and keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I stay organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow each pet’s schedule and provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. When caring for pets, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are well cared for while they are away.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I helped my parents raise 2 puppies and now I've raised my own! I know basic training skills to the extent of what the internet has taught me, but when it comes to the care of dogs, I have a full lifetime's experience. I work full time, however I love animals and am more than happy to drop in, or even walk after. I am also capable of being home full time if there is a boarding request If you ask me to take your baby for a few days in my home, with your permission I’d be more then happy to take them on a nice long walk or hike too! I have a dog of my own, an Aussiedoodle who loves everyone and everything. So just keep that in mind when booking with me!

I know how hard it is to find a reliable pet sitter and that's why I provide this service. I understand the needs of small and medium dogs . Small and medium dogs have different needs than large dogs. I love all dogs but I specialize in smaller dogs. I also get the worry of leaving your pet in someone else’s care.

“Vivian and her family have been helping take care of our little pup, Ebby, for a little less than 3 months now and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is so reliable, loves Ebby like she’s her own, and updates us daily with pictures and videos during their walks. We could not work full time and give our energetic puppy the attention she needs without her help. Thank you for all that you do!”
About: My own shy dog has opened my eyes about the need for fear-free care. I have spent a lot of time learning about behavior and strategies to help keep dogs happy and safe.

I work from home with some flexibility, so I can provide limited lunchtime-midday if requested. Complete availability on weekends. I use harnesses with a safety strap to a collar for my own reactive/escape artist dog. We walk only in safe environments, where the dog feels comfortable. I recognize when a dog feels stressed or uncomfortable, and aim to keep every experience positive.

About: Hi! Some things you might like to know about me: I’m a wife, I love animals (obviously) the outdoors, gardening, reading, history and I’m a nurse who graduated from Saint Vincent college - I could be a great fit for you and your pet! I’ve had many growing up: dogs, cats, goats, chickens and bunnies. I’m very comfortable with caring for animals and have experience with all different kinds from my own pets, friends, and animal shelter volunteering. I’m also open to watch and care for any other types of pets that might not fit the category of cat or dog! Message me so we can discuss! As a nurse, I only work 3 days per week! Typically one time or “on occasion” jobs work best, and attending 2x daily might not be possible if it’s on a day that i work and my 3 days that I work vary from week to week. However, please reach out anyways to see if this could be a perfect fit! I’d love to see what i could do. I’m a very responsible and organized person, so I could safely play with your dog(s) or cat(s) in your home or around the neighborhood. Being a nurse has made me much more aware and attentive of needs such as fresh water availability, food, safety and happiness for both people and animals!
About: Hi! I’ve had my own dog for the past 8 years and have been caring for and watching dogs since middle school. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting outside for walks, staying active, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re my own—with lots of attention, patience, love, and care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having company, I’m excited to give them a safe, fun, and caring experience while you’re away! 🐾 As a part-time worker and college student home for the summer, pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. As a college athlete, I love staying active and spending time outside, so getting to care for animals and go on walks is something I genuinely enjoy.

About: As a nurse new to semiretirement, I am looking for some new furry friends to spend some time with. As a former dog momma to a golden retriever mix and a cockapoo, I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and phases of life. I am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs who may need medication or a little extra attention. I also have a 1 year old golden doodle grand puppy that I help take care of when needed. I would love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member. For me, dogs bring a unique kind of joy you just can’t find anywhere else. I am semiretired and have a lot of flexibility with my current schedule. I am available most days of the week between 9am and 3pm. When coming to see your pet or walk them, please let me know of any specific or special requests. I will follow your routine as instructed.
About: I started caring for animals at age 4 when I began riding and working at a barn with 25 horses. At age 14, I began my first job at a pet grooming and boarding facility. At 19, I began pet sitting for families on my summers home from college. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I enjoy spending my time with them. I have cared for animals of all ages, so I am equipped with the knowledge to handle seniors, babies, and everyone in between. I have also cared for animals of all sizes, so I am able to handle animals from hamsters to horses. I have had years of experience administering medicine both orally and through injection. My experience allows me to notice details that keep animals safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a part time job working with kids. I am at that job from 8:30am-1:30pm Monday-Friday. In the evening, I go to the gym for an hour or two. I am a homebody, so if I’m not at work or in the gym, I will be spending all my time with your pet, giving them the attention and love that they deserve. I love spending time outside, so I try to take pets on walks or have them run around outside with me when I can. If our time cannot be spent outside, playtime is brought inside. We play until one of us needs to take a breather (usually the pet wins). During the evening, generally I spend quality time cuddling with pets while watching a movie or doing some schoolwork. I like taking pictures with pets to send to owners so they know their fur baby is well taken care of and happy.
“Amber arrived right on time and Sam took to her immediately. She listened carefully while I gave her all the little details of the behavior to expect while walking him around the neighborhood. Amber sent pictures during his walk. Sam showed no signs of being anxious to get back in the house when they returned which was a good sign he had a positive time exploring. All in all a perfect choice for us.”
About: I have experience in puppy obedience training and leash training, oral medication administration, experience handling dogs of all ages and sizes, especially with caring for stubborn dogs. Also I am very familiar with taking care of pups with anxiety or different fears. I am a full time student at Boston University, but have long breaks throughout my day where I could care for nearby pets in need of attention or walks, meaning lunchtime check ins or walks work particularly well with my schedule. I am happy to follow any preferences you have for pet care, including crating your dog (I have extensive experience crate training an unruly giant schnauzer puppy), leash preferences, and feeding schedules. I typically bring water bowls and extra water for my dogs on walks to keep them feeling their best and treats to keep them engaged (treat type depending on what your dog typically eats).
About: I spent my life growing up in a household full of animals. From large dogs to small dogs, to kittens & cats, I will love & care for your furry family member as if they were my own. I also have experience in walking small & large dogs, as well as our fur-legged friends who may not have much experience on a leash! I currently work remotely from my home full-time. I am available to step away during the day and take your animal for potty breaks. If there were to be an emergency, I can do my best to show up for that as well! I currently do not offer the service of house-sitting in my own home… for your pets comfort and my own pets! If an emergency were to pop-up, or we establish a relation as pet-owner/pet, I would be happy to reconsider this on a case-to-case basis.
About: I have experience taking care of big dogs, small dogs, big cats, small cats, chickens, lizards, rabbits, and fish. I have experience looking after pets of friends and family while they're out of the house for the past 5 years. I have a great deal of patience in training and caring for animals. I'm currently available on weekends, with Fridays most preferred. I work fulltime Monday through Thursday so at the moment those days are going to remain unavailable. I believe respect for animals, owners, and their environment to be super important. I adhere to any rules and guidelines when entering a client's home and I work to provide my client's pet with my utmost attention and full energy. I am down for taking pets on walks, playing with them till they wear themselves out, feeding and cleaning up after them, and anything else they might need.
About: I have experience working with very energetic to slower more relaxed dogs/cats. I have an older beagle as well as a younger pit/lab mix at home. Starting in high school I would sit for family and friends, then in 2022 started working for Rover. I have experience giving medication and daily supplements as well as making sure your dog/cat gets plenty of playtime and attention. I’m currently working full-time, most of the time working 7-3 but in the winter working 4a-12p. After work I will be able to spend the rest of the evening/night with your dog/cat as well as the weekend. I will be able to give potty brakes, specific feeding schedule, play time, over night stays, or whatever your dog/cat needs to feel comfortable while you are away.

“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“We took our two boys while traveling and they really enjoyed their time and I could tell they quickly warmed up to Michelle and her husband!!! My younger dog has anxiety and is nervous around men but he really bonded with them and seemed so relaxed!! They were happy when we arrived to pick them up but still went to get pets from them while chatting. She sent pictures every day and I could tell they really enjoyed their backyard every day which is their favorite place to be at home!! Their communication was great and I felt relaxed to have such a great sitter and I will definitely be using them again whenever we travel!!!”
“I recently left my 1 year old lab with Jordan for 2 weeks while I was out of the country for vacation. She texted me updates and photos during my time away. My dog was calm and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Jordan.”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Repeat customer!! Gary is so great with our senior pug. He goes above and beyond and has so much compassion. Being a senior pug he gets finicky with eating at times. Gary spoon feed him as we sometimes need to do at home and thought of other creative ways to hmget him to eat. Gary will treat your furbaby as if they are his own. We highly recommend Gary.”
“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Deanna was great and able to work with my 60-pound deaf puppy, and Maxwell loved having fellow dog friends to spend time with. Came back absolutely tuckered out.”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Took great care of our pup Jeter while I was away for business! Thankful for the outside time they made sure he had and of course making his stay feel just like being at home!”
“This was Winston’s second stay with Rebecca and he had a fabulous time! I got lots of updates and photos, and he looked happy and well cared for! We’ll certainly book with Rebecca again!”
“Brittany was great, she let me bring my dogs over before my scheduled date so the dogs would be a little more comfortable. She was great with the dogs and she responded quickly to any messages. I will be using her again in the future.”
“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”
“Whiticker was so well taken care of during is 5 day stay with Nelia and Brett. He had so much fun and we enjoyed seeing his smile in the photos/videos! He came home happy and tired which was perfect!”

I will cater to your pets needs and have wonderful flexibility during the day for walks and care! I love animals and people which makes this the perfect position for me!

I'm involved in the community in many different ways so maybe we already know eachother or have mutual friends/colleagues!
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
