“Jeannie and Roebert took care of Peanut like their own and always updated us with the tid bits from her daily routines. We loved their services and also the care they put into making sure that peanut is happy and content. We definitely recommend their services to any pet owner who are looking for a household settings with caring people around their pet. Highly recommended. ☺️”
“Graham Cracker was very relaxed and comfortable when we came to pick him up. She kept us up to date with photos. It was a great experience. We would definitely use her again!”
“Nadia is amazing! She is so flexible with having to make adjustments to the schedule and even goes out of her way to help with pick up/ drop off (which have been such a blessing with having a young baby). She communicates very well and provides picture updates during my dogs stay. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Charlie is the best sitter I have encountered on Rover. The set-up he has for the dogs allow great exercise, monitored socialization and tons of love. I have never had a bad experience with him and will continue to rebook with him for his services. He is extremely flexible and communicative throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“I was hesitant to leave my beagle with someone else while I went on a trip, but as soon as I met Emily and saw her home and yard, I knew it would be OK. It was more than OK! I never worried about Nelly and she clearly had a good time there.”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
About: I am currently doing Rover part-time, I’m also working 2 other part-time jobs, however, for one of them I get to choose my own schedule. If given enough notice (usually a week) I can take off the days you’d need from one of my jobs, and then just schedule my other around it! I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and caring for them! Ive taken 2 pre-vet classes and would love to have a job working with animals full-time, no matter the job! As of now, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work Thurs-Sun, never more than 8 hours + my other job I can pick my own schedule! I am free all other weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I prefer having the option to crate in case I need to go out for a bit, but I have taken care of pets who didn’t need one! Your pets are treated as my own when they are here, we take long walks around my apartment complex, I have treats for both cats and dogs, and many toys! Let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions so they can be as healthy and happy as possible
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Lejune was nothing but AMAZING with our new 5 week family puppy! I never used Rover and was recommended by a neighbor. After reading through reviews of other profiles, Lejune's stuck out the most to me. While my family and I were away I received endless pictures, videos, and updates on my Brady! He settled in very well and definitely liked like he was enjoying himself. I will be booking again, as well as using Lejune for training.”
“Jesse took great care of Buster and sent me several photo updates showing what a great time my boy was having! I’m grateful for Jesse’s flexibility with the last minute date change. Highly recommend.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Ruth and Agnes took such great care of my Mochi! They sent many pictures and updates of Mochi while I was away and I felt so at ease leaving her there. They were able to give her medicine with no issues as well. Mochi is very spoiled and particular at home and they were able to accommodate all my instructions for feeding and care. Mochi loves it there and gets so excited to go. I highly recommend booking Ruth for any pet care needs.”
“Our puppy, Lulu Belle, spent 4 days and 3 nights with Sandra last week and she absolutely loved it. Sandra has a large yard, with all kinds of outdoor furniture and platforms, for the dogs to enjoy climbing on, as they race each other around the property. We loved the photos and message updates, Sandra sent us throughout each of the days, from early morning to bedtime. We appreciated these regular updates showing our dog was safe and having fun.”
“Shaynna and her children took such good care of Teddy, yet again! Shaynna is so kind and amazing and she always takes care of Teddy’s needs perfectly. I have no worries when my baby boy is with her and her family and I’m beyond grateful for them! ❤️”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“I have an older min pin that hasn’t ever been away from me with someone she hasn’t known before. When I brought her over for a visit before the booking, I knew immediately my baby was going to be taken care of and would be safe. I got a bunch of pictures and videos of my baby girl and I could tell she was being taken care of as if it were me. I would recommend Min & Matt to family and friends, which says a ton about the way they took care of her.”
“Awesome and lovely dog loving family. Knight had a great time. I appreciate their flexibility and accommodations when I had a delayed travel flight departure, that affected my pick-up time.”

“Isobel was amazing! I’m so grateful that she was able to stop by and feed my cats as well as take care of the litter, especially during the holiday. Thank you so much!!”
“Susan does a fantastic job with my cat! Looks after other little things in the house just to make it wonderful to come home and make my cat's life a little better too. He's not mad at me for leaving anymore.”
“She has pet sat for us several times and every time she has gone above and beyond. This past trip we were gone internationally and never had one concern because I knew Abigail had it under control!!”
“Amber was incredible with my cat, Gus! She stayed with him while I was gone for a few days and sent me pictures every day! I would 100% have her stay with him again, in fact, I even referred her to my family. So that should tell you something!!”
About: I was a puppy raiser for The Seeing-Eye between 2005 and 2016. My family raised 6 puppies starting at 8 weeks old, so I am well-versed in both puppy care and training. As puppy raisers it is our job to socialize our puppies to new environments and teach them basic obedience and manners as they will need to be well-behaved in public for their future blind partner. I also formerly worked at the family dog training school. I've lived with primarily German Shepherds, as well as a pitbull and collie. Though I have met and understand a wide variety of dog breeds. My animal experience doesn't stop at dogs & cats, either! I've personally owned or cared for rats, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, freshwater fish, snakes, lizards and even horses! I currently have a retail job with random hours so my schedules will vary week by week. I do typically have Wednesdays off of work, though. I have a fenced yard at home and can bring many of my own supplies if needed. I have spare leashes, toys, bowls, anything you might need.
About: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.
About: I’ve had and loved animals my whole life and have experience watching all sorts of animals in all shapes age and size. My hope is for both pets and parents to be so comfortable with me that being separated is stressfree ! I currently work roughly 9am -3:30 pm M-F. I am available to feed or let whoever out during lunch as well! Weekends I’m free all day !! I’m unable to bring animals into my home but am happy to visit and hangout with them in their homes!! If desired I’m always able to go for local walks/hikes or fetch depending on exercise needs!
About: Hello, My name is Cristian! I love working with and providing care for animals. 🐕🐈🐒🐐🐖🐹🦜🐢🐍🐟 I am learning to house train unfocused puppies, using positive reinforcement and kennel training. To teach commands to an overly energetic and reluctant learner can be an ongoing process though.🐶🐶 I'm able to send picture updates of your pets if you'd like. 🤳 I am hoping to train my own dog to become a guide dog and socialization with other dogs/animals is important for this training. I'm willing to run or jog with them, to help rid pets of excess energy and keep them docile while inside.🏃♂️ I can bring my dog along for play dates and socialization training if allowed, or even just take them for leisurely walks around the neighborhood every couple hours.🏘 I can do drop by visits, pick them up to take them to the park if your animal is okay with car rides, or just stay at the house. 🏍 I prefer to minimize kennel time as much as possible. Animals shouldn't be caged. 😺 A kennel/crate should only be safe retreat for your pet to relax and feel comfortable in their own space. If you are interested in any of these services feel free to contact me via text or email.😁 Open availability currently, doing this full-time and enjoying it. Would have plenty of time, patience, and energy for energetic, timid, injured, or special need animals. I've a backyard, a quiet neighborhood, large dog park behind the neighborhood, and plenty of walking trails nearby. Including most locals are very friendly towards people and animals.

“Catie was phenomenal with my two pups who absolutely adore her! She came twice a day to check on them while I was on vacation and spoiled them while I was away. I highly recommend her as a sitter if you want and need someone to care for your fur babies. She is the BEST!”
“Matthew did a great job pet sitting my 2 cats! He really went the extra mile. He fed my cats, cleaned up their bowls, watered my plants, checked the water level in my ornamental fountain, kept me posted about my cats, and even alerted me about a power outage. It really gave me piece of mind knowing he was looking after my cats and keeping an eye on things.”

“My puppy Juicy loves staying with Jeannie! She is so caring and goes above and beyond :). It’s very comforting to know I can drop her off and trust that she will be well taken care of. Puppies can be a lot! —But she is a total pro. Thanks Jeannie and family!”

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with dogs through both training and in-home boarding. My background as a professional dog trainer means I understand canine behavior on a deeper level, allowing me to provide structured, safe, and low-stress care for every dog in my home. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs—from young puppies to more challenging cases—and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and meeting each dog where they’re at. Whether your dog needs structure, confidence building, or just a calm and reliable environment, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Dogs in my care are part of a structured, trainer-managed environment. During the day, they are integrated into my routine and pack, allowing for appropriate socialization and calm coexistence. With board & train dogs on-site, I maintain a high level of supervision and structure to ensure safety and balance for every dog. All dogs are crated at night to promote rest and maintain a secure environment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With over 5 years of professional dog training and boarding experience, I’m very intentional about how dogs are introduced, managed, and supervised in my home. Dogs are never left unsupervised together, and all interactions are based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience reading body language and preventing issues before they arise, creating a calm and controlled environment. At night, all dogs are safely crated to ensure proper rest and security. My goal is to provide a space where your dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for at all times.
“Dulce loves Lejune!!!! I know she is in good hands and always has fun! I always appreciate how communicative and prompt she is.

“Charlie was great. He was quick to greet us & my dogs immediately trusted him. They have a large home w a huge yard. We will definitely be going back to Charlie next time we're in town.”
About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well.

I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.

About: Hi! My name is April. After growing up around dogs, my husband and I decided to get our first dog-a Hurricane Katrina rescue-as soon as we got married! Having a love for dogs evolved into a partnership with a local rescue in which I've volunteered for transport, adoption home visits, adoption follow up, and fostering. 3 dogs later-I enjoy walking the dogs around the farm, car rides(with drive thrus for pup treats of course!), and cuddling on the couch(our dogs know how to nap!). My friends know that my house is the "dog house" and that their dogs are welcome to come have fun and hang out too! I tend to be the "go to" friend when someone needs a pet sitter:) I specialize in special needs and geriatric care.

“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
About: Hey! I have worked with animals for over 10 years. From sitting to fostering. I currently live on 2+ acres with a fenced in area and an non fenced area for unlimited play and run time. I am a full time student that is home all day, my schedule is very flexible. I am also available around holidays as well to help out when needed. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, a part of my family. I have multiple places within my home and outside of my home to create a safe place for your pet if they need down time, play or love.
About: Need to board your fur baby before travel or place them in doggy/kitty daycare? I can help! As a pet owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find a good, safe place to leave my babies. That's why you can be rest assured that your doggy or kitty will be happy, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will love them and treat them and just like their own. Your fur babies will have a large space indoors to play and snuggle. They will have an even larger outdoor, fenced-in space to run and play as they wish. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home, so I am available all day to care for your pets, walk them and be there for them. They will feel right at home! I like to follow the schedule that the client has set for their pets at home so that pets can feel a sense of continuity in their new environment. I customize my care depending on each pet and their unique needs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life* I am available for early morning or evening walks and drop-ins during the week. I am available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday unless I have a family or social event. However, I am always open to working around my schedule and offering as much flexibility as I can - just shoot me a message! We have a large back porch and yard with a fenced area for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!
“We are so incredibly grateful for the care Kathryn provides our babies. She is punctual and reliable and enables us to go to work without stressing over how our babies are doing at home. The pictures are like the cherry on top! 🥰”
About: I've dog sat for all of my friends and family. I have trained puppies and do great with senor care. I can give medications, bathe, groom, play and walk your furry friends. My family's zoo consists of 2 horses, 2 dogs (was 3), 2 inside cats, and 4 barn cats. I'm disabled but pet care I can do. So my availability is wide open. Anytime day or night. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs who will make your dog feel right at home. They love playing with other dogs. My male isn't fixed yet. I love all animals and caring for them brings me so much joy.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and truly think of them as family! I got my first dog at 5 years old and it was my job to take care of him everyday, give him baths,etc. I started watching other peoples animals when I was 14. I have done stop by walks/potty breaks since the very beginning and overnight stays since I was 18. I have experience with insulin shots, and other forms of medications. Pets are family members too, and they should be well taken care of! While you are away they will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I have a full time job working as a realtor, so your furry best friend will have a constant companion staying with them! I work mainly off my laptop unless I have showings set up, so your best friend will get all the cuddles, and love they can possibly get! While I personally do not offer in house boarding- I do have people I can refer you to who are absolutely wonderful, and who my parents trust their fur babies with! . Ask me for their info! I work full time as a real estate agent, so most of my time in doing work from my laptop! There are occasional showings and meetings that I will attend, but they are not long- few hours at the max. Because of my flexible schedule I can make your fur babies feel loved and comfortable while you are gone! I do not currently accept home services in my own home. We have a cat who does not do well with other animals as she gets scared very easily. So, at this time, no home boarding will be offered. This will be updated if anything changes.
About: I grew up always having a pet in my childhood home, cats and dogs, and have much experience taking care of my own and others pets. In high school my main way of earning money was taking care of my aunts 2 German shepherds on a daily basis after school. Since then I have pet sat countless friends and families fur babies. I have been a pet mom since I was 18 (12 years) and now have 4 of my own, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am also a (human) mom of a 1 year old girl. I have cared for 160 lb Rottweilers to 2 week old kittens to horses, chickens and goats. I have been told I am naturally nurturing and I have always found caring for animals to come easily and to be extremely enjoyable. I consider myself very experienced with all sorts of animal needs. I am strong advocate of animal rights and treat animals with the same respect I would a person. Outside of Rover I have been a self employed small business owner in the service industry since 2019. I pride myself in my customer service and communication skills. I am always very responsible and reliable because my livelihood depends on it. If you book with me you will be very pleased with my laid back yet capable attitude. I fully believe in my ability to give you and your furbabies excellent service :) I work part time an I am available for dog/cat sitting on Monday’s and Tuesdays during the day. During the week I am the sole caregiver of my 1 year old daughter and she will be with me while taking care of your pets. She has been exposed to our animals since birth and has learned how to interact with our dogs and cats. She is gentle and kind to animals. Child friendly dogs and cats are a must. My home sits on a 1/2 acre and I have a fenced in yard. My pets have free range of my home apart from our bedrooms which stay closed while we are not in them. I do have the option to keep my pets separated from yours if that’s preferred or needed.
About: Hi! My name is April. After growing up around dogs, my husband and I decided to get our first dog-a Hurricane Katrina rescue-as soon as we got married! Having a love for dogs evolved into a partnership with a local rescue in which I've volunteered for transport, adoption home visits, adoption follow up, and fostering. 3 dogs later-I enjoy walking the dogs around the farm, car rides(with drive thrus for pup treats of course!), and cuddling on the couch(our dogs know how to nap!). My friends know that my house is the "dog house" and that their dogs are welcome to come have fun and hang out too! I tend to be the "go to" friend when someone needs a pet sitter:) I specialize in special needs and geriatric care.
About: In my opinion, animals are the best thing in the world! Especially when they become pets. I am a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but I have always had other passions. One passion would definitely be my love for animals and nature! When I am not at the hospital I would love to get to know you and your family pet! I love all animals so much ... I got allergy weekly/biweekly shots (2 in each arm) to prove it!! I am super interested in caring for your family pet and making them feel like you never left home! I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc! I am skilled at taking care of many different animals. I currently own a dachshund and a Bichon poo. My dogs are my world!! If you want someone who will treat your pet like family I am your girl! I work night shift so I am available most days and some night to help out when needed! Feel free to contact me!

“Graham Cracker was very relaxed and comfortable when we came to pick him up. She kept us up to date with photos. It was a great experience. We would definitely use her again!”
“Nadia is amazing! She is so flexible with having to make adjustments to the schedule and even goes out of her way to help with pick up/ drop off (which have been such a blessing with having a young baby). She communicates very well and provides picture updates during my dogs stay. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Charlie is the best sitter I have encountered on Rover. The set-up he has for the dogs allow great exercise, monitored socialization and tons of love. I have never had a bad experience with him and will continue to rebook with him for his services. He is extremely flexible and communicative throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“I was hesitant to leave my beagle with someone else while I went on a trip, but as soon as I met Emily and saw her home and yard, I knew it would be OK. It was more than OK! I never worried about Nelly and she clearly had a good time there.”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Jesse took great care of Buster and sent me several photo updates showing what a great time my boy was having! I’m grateful for Jesse’s flexibility with the last minute date change. Highly recommend.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Our puppy, Lulu Belle, spent 4 days and 3 nights with Sandra last week and she absolutely loved it. Sandra has a large yard, with all kinds of outdoor furniture and platforms, for the dogs to enjoy climbing on, as they race each other around the property. We loved the photos and message updates, Sandra sent us throughout each of the days, from early morning to bedtime. We appreciated these regular updates showing our dog was safe and having fun.”
“Shaynna and her children took such good care of Teddy, yet again! Shaynna is so kind and amazing and she always takes care of Teddy’s needs perfectly. I have no worries when my baby boy is with her and her family and I’m beyond grateful for them! ❤️”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“I am so very pleased with Cheryl and her furry family. Cheryl was very meticulous about assessing my dogs needs and care right from the start. My dog is quite skidish about new dogs, new environments and new people. This was no challenge for Cheryl. She was able to ease my dogs insecurities right away and allowed her 2 dogs time to meet our little girl on her terms and very cautiously. Cheryl was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and communicated with me throughout the entire stay with updates and photos. She also provided my dog with medications for her skin and gave us great feedback on how I may be able to better care for her allergies. Cheryl is a very responsible dog owner and it certainly carries into her ability to care for my dog as well. My dog was happy and stress free while in Cheryl's care and I will definitely be using her again! If you're looking for a caretaker that will provide top notch care and treat your furry companion with the love and respect they deserve, then look no further and reach out to Cheryl.”

“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
