“Jeanne was so great with our pup. We were anxious about leaving him because he is still so young — but Jeanne put our minds at ease. She is a natural with dogs, sent plenty of updates and knew just what to expect from a puppy. I can’t help but think he loved being able to socialize with other dogs too... when he came home he was wiped out!! We are already rebooked for some doggy day care days! Thanks Jeanne!”
“Sunny had an absolute blast and they were so communicative and sent me updates and photos throughout his weekend stay. They made sure to be careful during feedings of the other dogs as Sunny has a poultry allergy. They are definitely recommended by me to any dog lover as they treated him as their own while he was with them.”
“It’s been a number of years since we have asked a non-family member to take care of the pups, so we were thrilled to find Emanuel who welcomed Tilley and Houdini into his home and treated them like family.”
“Yoko and her husband are exceptionally sweet and welcoming. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated—it was clear he was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely care, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Johanny took wonderful care of my 2 dogs in her home when I went out of town! Her indoor and outdoor spaces are set up with them in mind. Plus she is so pleasant to work with. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Definitely recommend!”
“Brooke and Jeremy were excellent hosts! It was nice receiving updates and pictures during our dogs stay and by the looks of it he had a great time! We would highly recommend them and would certainly use again!”
“Reshma & Kangan take care of my cavapoo, as if she were their own dog. Walks twice a day and invitations to the couch. Lots of pictures too. Rosa has been there many times and loves it. It gives me such peace of mind that when we do go somewhere the dog can't, they are there or her.”
“Missy is the best! I averaged about four photos every morning and then again later in the day that she sent to me. My very active Boston terrier had an absolute blast! Thank you, thank you thank you!”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
“So patient and kind with Oona. She was so well cared for during her stay and I received many pictures and videos while I was away! Was a joy to book with and would book with again! Thank you Equasia!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Tiffany was great with our two dogs. This was the first time I have used Rover, and was a little nervous as one of our dogs is a rescue dog and gets scared easily. Tiffany communicated timely and sent photos of how they were doing. She is an excellent dog sitter and will use her again!”
“Our Cavapoo Rosa had the best time at Tracy's. She loved playing with Tracy's children and the whole family was just so nice. I don't think Rosa really wanted to come home! Tracy sent me updates and photos at regular intervals so I had no worries.”
“Christian did a great job taking care of Coco and Rusty. The drop off process went very smoothly. Christian sent us pictures and short video clips of the dogs. This made us feel more comfortable that the dogs were having a good time while we were on vacation. It was amazing how well the dogs behaved around Christian. He is the Dog Whisperer. Christian will share some of his tricks and tips if you ask him. Christian had everything ready when we arrived to pick up Coco and Rusty. We will definitely leave our dogs with Christian on our next vacation!”
“Nicole took great care of our Lucky during boarding at her home. From the videos and photos she sent, it was clear Lucky was having a great time. When our initial stash of canned food started running out, Nicole even went out shopping to get more. Excellent communication and a truly wonderful sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Timothy did a great job with my young pointer Clover. Clover and his dog got along great and were actually able to tire clover out! Timothy was responsive and sent lots of pictures.”
“My puppy had another awesome visit with Carol. She is a great sitter who treats my puppy like her own and keeps me updated with pictures and reports. I can go away with peace of mind knowing my puppy is in good hands. Carol is a blessing.”
“David is very awesome, had a great time with my dog and my dog had a great time with him, plus he is an amazing photographer. The pictures he took and sent to me from his stay are truly beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful memories.”
“George did such a good job watching Milo! He was attentive to him being comfortable and communicated with me multiple times a day! I could tell Milo was taken care of very well! Would use him again!!”

“Tabby managed to earn the trust of my normally skittish, formerly feral cat, which to me, was HUGE! She was an excellent caretaker and communicator. She also did a great job as our house sitter!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job with my 2 cats. She played with them a lot, which they absolutely loved. She also made sure they were appropriately fed and cleaned their litter box daily even though I told her she didn’t need to. She communicated well and send a lot of pictures and videos. It was reassuring to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will definitely be hiring Stephanie again.”
“Jeanne suffered a mobility reducing injury the night before her drop-ins started with my cats. She swiftly secured backup coverage via her daughter, who did a wonderful job. I would've been in quite the predicament without the seamless transition she provided.”
“From the first meet and greet Amanda was the sweetest! I knew I could trust her with our home and kitties. Her report cards were very detailed and pictures were much appreciated. We haven’t been home just yet but I am sure everything will be amazing. I would recommend her for your vacation needs!!! THANK YOU AMANDA! We will def be rebooking when needed!”
“Denise was very great to work with - spent a nice time each day with our two cats and rabbit, and sent photo updates. Glad they had someone to visit them while we were away. Thank you again Denise!”
“Rachel is absolutely fabulous. She took care of our two young female cats while we went to the beach - I think they had as much fun with Rachel as we had on vacation! They were well cared for, played with, their needs were more than met and we had great piece of mind. Highly recommend!!”
“Grace was so easy to communicate with, always on time, and so great with our cats. She sent pictures and updates everyday. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel comfortable knowing our cats were well taken care of. We absolutely want to book her again!”
“Tetiana was personable, gentle, proficient with her tasks having well cared for Bibbs' physical needs and managed to convince my cat to be present every day to supervise and pose for photos.”
“Jaydin was wonderful. She took the time to let all four of our cats feel comfortable. She also took care of our turtles and fish. She sent pics every day so we knew everything was ok. Definitely recommend!!!!”

About: I've been taking care of cats since I was 13. We rescued some kittens around that time followed by raising our first of 4 litters of kitties as well as fostering, more rescues, and adopting. We found dozens of little kitties their forever homes!
“We've been so lucky to have found Brenna! Our fur babies genuinely light up when they see her, which tells us everything we need to know. It's such a relief to leave our pets in the hands of someone we truly trust — she treats them so special. If you're searching for someone special to care for your furry family members, we couldn't recommend Brenna more wholeheartedly. She's truly one of a kind! 🐾”

“michael had great communication with me all day! was super understanding of behavior issues with my dog as she was out of daycare for a while and her behavior as a rescue dog. will absolutely continue services with them in the future”
“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”

About: I have been a dedicated dog dad for over 4 years. While I have experience managing a multiple dog household, I currently only have my resident German Shepherd at home during sittings. He is a "big baby" super friendly, well-socialized, and great at making guest dogs feel welcome. I live to make these 4 legged animals smile, you can be sure your pup will have a good time when I’m around! As a dedicated dog owner for over four years, I offer a safe and structured 'home away from home' for your pup. My household is perfectly set up for socialization, featuring my friendly, 'big baby' German Shepherd who loves making new friends. To ensure a calm and focused environment, my other resident dogs stay off site during bookings, allowing me to prioritize your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s managing high-energy play, providing gentle senior care, or maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, I provide your dog with a reliable routine filled with backyard fun, mental enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by an experienced handler who treats every guest like family! When a doggo stays with me, they aren't just a "guest" they become apart of the family. My goal is to keep their home routine so they don't feel the stress of your absence.
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”
About: Love love love what I do, working with pets is just a plus to life✨♥️ I remember as a young girl growing up in New York City watching walkers walk many dogs at one time and thought, I want to be that when I grow up✨🌈 I have worked with pets for over 6 years now and I enjoy every minute of it! Currently I have Gracie a gray Tabby and Butters a chiweenie and I had a Rat Terrier for over twelve years but sadly my Miki boy has passed. The most fulfilling time of my life✨🐕♥️👩🏻🦱 Hope I can offer you value and long term quality serves. Working with animals is so rewarding. I can’t wait to start, thank you! I am available mostly every mornings and evenings 7am till 10pm on Sunday through Wednesday. Only 7am-Noon in the morning on Thursday Friday and Saturday. I care for pets at owner home.

About: Hi!☺️🐾 My name is Katie and I have been a professional dog-walker, dog-nanny, cat-nanny & house-sitter for the past 9 years. My intention is to provide the most excellent pet-care and house-sitting experience for all my families! I work primarily around the Trexlertown- greater Lehigh Valley area. My sister and I share the responsibility of taking care of a 14 year-old rescue Papillon, Wembley and my time with him the past 5 years has completely changed the level of detail in the pet-care I provide.♥️ Caring for a senior pup with several scheduled medications has given me so much structure and sense of urgency around timing and planning- I love Wembley more than anything in the entire world and I know others feel the same way about their fur-babies. My goal is to provide the level of care I would want for Wembley. I am experienced with specialized animal care and strict schedule requirements. The pets that I’ve watched (including my own) have had restricted dietary needs, feeding time windows, scheduled medications, and as-needed emergency medication precautions, so I am comfortable with high maintenance and senior pets. ♥️ 🐾 I am currently available for day time dog-walking, dog-nannying, and house-sitting bookings. As of June-July 2026 I am very booked out and working an evening job so I have limited availability but as of August 2026 I will have much more open availability. Please reach out if you are interested in future vacation days (reach out as early as you can!) or seeking a regular dog-walker/ dog-sitter throughout the week. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! ☺️🐾♥️ I am open weekdays- with the exception of a couple other dogs that I walk around lunchtime :) Let me know what days/times you are interested in! I love playing with dogs like I’m one of them- I make fake growls and ruffs when we’re fighting with a chew toy. I also love talking to the cats and dogs when I’m doing things around the house- just to keep them mentally occupied, I’ll ask them questions like they could answer me. & I lovelovelove walks so I try to go out and walk with them as frequently as we can ✨
About: I’m familiar with almost every breed, and have been training them since I was 10 years old. My last dog was a therapy dog I took into nursing homes, but his time has past. :( I have all my time to spend with your pets. I am available weekends too, very flexible schedule. Will walk daily and play with them depending on age etc. I have a fenced in yard with no other pets. I am looking for a dog for myself to adopt and turn into a therapy dog, so I don’t mind training or corrective actions if wanted/ needed. I don’t like crates, but that’s me, and will respect your wishes. If at your house, you make the rules and I follow them, willing to FaceTime etc. whatever you need.
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Melinda — Your Dog’s New Best Friend! 🐾 If you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you: I love dogs more than people… and I’m not shy about it!

“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”
About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well-being first 🐾😊.

“Tetiana was extremely responsive when we needed a last minute dog walker for our pup Luna. She came right away for a meet and greet and had a great rapport with Luna. We will definitely be using Tetiana for future walks with Luna!”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep commitment to animal welfare. Having been raised around dogs and actively training them since I was young, I understand that every pet has a unique "language." As a long-time foster and volunteer for multiple rescues, I am experienced with dogs from all backgrounds, including those who may be nervous, shy, or need a little extra patience. I specialize in the two ends of the spectrum—the high-energy needs and foundational training of puppies, and the gentle, attentive medical/mobility care required for seniors. I am confident and capable of handling "extra-large" personalities. I know how to maintain control on walks and provide the structure that larger breeds need to feel secure. As a teacher, my life runs on a well-organized schedule, which is perfect for dogs who thrive on routine. During the school year, I am out the door early but back home by mid-afternoon, ensuring your pet has plenty of evening attention, long walks, and backyard play. Because I’m home during all major school holidays and the summer months, I can offer extended care and more frequent potty breaks during those times. Your pet will benefit from a structured environment where feedings, walks, and 'quiet time' happen like clockwork. I don't just 'watch' pets; I welcome them into my family. In my home, your dog will have my own friendly fur babies for companionship and socialization. We treat every guest with the same love and attention we give our own. Whether they are lounging around the house or playing in the fully fenced in yard, your pet will be part of our daily rhythm. I believe pets are happiest when they feel they belong, so they’ll have full access to a comfortable, supervised environment where they can feel right at home.

About: I have been around a bunch of different dogs throughout life. I have raised two puppies and took great care of a senior dog. I walk my dogs everyday. I have availability throughout the week. I have an open schedule so I am can be available most days of the week and weekends as well My two dogs play in the backyard that is fenced in. I always keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe outside.
“Elizabeth is reliable, friendly, punctual, and professional, and my stubborn dog took to her immediately. She brings a lot of positive energy and love with her, and I know my pup is in good hands with her. Looking forward to continuing to have her walk him on a weekly basis!”
“Timothy is excellent with Lily. We went away for the weekend and it looks like she had a blast on her mini vacation with Tim. Thank you Timothy for being the best sitter for Lily.”
About: I grew up with 2 dogs, one of which had special needs. I now own 4 cats and have helped raise a service dog in training. Animals are truly my passion, and I give my all to treat animals with all of the love, care, and respect they deserve. I’m a night shift nurse which leaves my days open for pets! Also, as a cat owner, I always make sure to leave time in my routine to be with my pets. I have experience in training dogs and have worked with animals who pose more challenges in the past. I leave everything the way I found it in other people’s homes.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old, and have been pet-sitting since I was 14. I love all animals, but my heart melts for every dog I see! There is no dog I don't love on sight! I am not working any other full-time job at the moment, so I can spend plenty of time with your pet. I will most likely spend several hours at a time with your furry friend, taking breaks throughout the day for food and errands. Overnights can be arranged upon request. As I have two dogs in my own home, I would be caring for your pet in yours. I will leave your home neat and tidy, and will happily clean up after your pets while there. I will also send you pictures of your animals throughout my time with them, to let you know that they are sage and happy.
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, but started taking care of dogs around the time I was 12 and moreso with cats around 13. We adopted a dog when I was 12 and I fed her, walked her, bathed her, taught her tricks, played with her, we'd even cuddle! We fostered a dog from a hoarder and had another dog after the loss of the last one and I continued to repeat the cycle with this big crazy whippersnapper! Where I was working part-time just closed for the season, so I have plenty of free time for playing with your pups and kitties!!! When I'm not in school, I'll be taking care of my pets and helping my mom out with them around the house, she does Rover too and recommended I get on it. For drop ins, I like to meet the pet first and learn about their likes and dislikes and where to find all of their things. I like to ask questions on how to make sure they feel most comfortable with a new person and try to follow that advice to make sure they feel their best. For walks, I like to get an idea of where they like to walk and any behaviors I can expect while walking them before we head out on our adventure!
About: I have had pets since childhood and currently own a two-year-old German Shepherd who is both affectionate and energetic. Caring for her has given me hands-on experience in handling, training, and providing attentive care for large dogs. I am passionate about working with dogs and would be delighted to provide the same level of care and attention to yours. I currently work during the day; however, I maintain a flexible remote schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care needs, including walks and outdoor breaks, at various times throughout the day. This flexibility enables me to support pet owners with more demanding or less adaptable schedules. I have fenced in yard and plenty of space for play time! I also have a patio where pets can relax out of the sun
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.
About: I’ve grown up with animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, horses) and I’ve been a pet owner the majority of my life! I’m known to most family and friends as the “animal whisperer” as I have a unique ability in communicating, observing, and creating a deep connection with animal friends. My calm demeanor will put your furry friend at ease! I have also dedicated my time to local animal shelters to provide love, care and attention to cats and dogs in need of homes. I’m a deeply empathetic and compassionate individual who has a special way with making our furry friends feel safe, comfortable, loved and cared for! I’m also a mother to 12 year old twin boys and a Mini Golden-doodle named Daisy! I’m currently working part-time as an actress and have a lot of flexibility to schedule house visits, daily walks and play sessions with your pups! Safety is number one for me when it comes to your furry friend. If a yard is not fenced in, I would make sure your pet is properly harnessed and leashed before we leave the house for an outdoor walk/play session.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs. I’ve helped puppy raise for seeing eye dog training in the past. I have also helped watch puppies from fresh litter to elderly dogs. I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. I typically working Monday, Wednesdays and Thursdays/Fridays in the mornings, so I will be available by the afternoon. In my home, my cats roam freely except for certain rooms which we keep the doors closed at all times. I have kenneled dogs for overnight and leaving the house. I can also put up gates to close off certain areas.
About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have two dogs and for the past 9 years I have volunteered at an animal rescue weekly. Providing care, walking feeding and playing with dogs while they awaited a forever home. I am a stay at home Mom who's children are working and in college. I would like to fill my week days doing what I enjoy. I will handle any dog in my care like they are my own. Their safety is very important to me. My goal is to give your dog some exercise and play so when you return they only need some love from you.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and taken care of others pets for years. I can walk, feed, play, administer medications, have experience with injection medications with dogs, cats and even reptiles. I have some experience in training with my own animals. I work part time managing a cat themed winery, I have plenty of time around that to take care of your pup or kitty. I absolutely love animals, mine are my world (They run my house!) I can easily fit yours into my schedule and give them all the love and attention they need when you are away. I am really good at following instructions, I can do everything you require for your fur baby. In your home I can ensure it stays clean and they are always taken care of instead of locked up and lonely when you can’t be with them. They’ll be safely entertained and you can even get regular updates on how they are if you’d like!

“Jeanne was so great with our pup. We were anxious about leaving him because he is still so young — but Jeanne put our minds at ease. She is a natural with dogs, sent plenty of updates and knew just what to expect from a puppy. I can’t help but think he loved being able to socialize with other dogs too... when he came home he was wiped out!! We are already rebooked for some doggy day care days! Thanks Jeanne!”
“Sunny had an absolute blast and they were so communicative and sent me updates and photos throughout his weekend stay. They made sure to be careful during feedings of the other dogs as Sunny has a poultry allergy. They are definitely recommended by me to any dog lover as they treated him as their own while he was with them.”
“It’s been a number of years since we have asked a non-family member to take care of the pups, so we were thrilled to find Emanuel who welcomed Tilley and Houdini into his home and treated them like family.”
“Yoko and her husband are exceptionally sweet and welcoming. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated—it was clear he was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely care, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Johanny took wonderful care of my 2 dogs in her home when I went out of town! Her indoor and outdoor spaces are set up with them in mind. Plus she is so pleasant to work with. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Definitely recommend!”
“Brooke and Jeremy were excellent hosts! It was nice receiving updates and pictures during our dogs stay and by the looks of it he had a great time! We would highly recommend them and would certainly use again!”
“Missy is the best! I averaged about four photos every morning and then again later in the day that she sent to me. My very active Boston terrier had an absolute blast! Thank you, thank you thank you!”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Christian did a great job taking care of Coco and Rusty. The drop off process went very smoothly. Christian sent us pictures and short video clips of the dogs. This made us feel more comfortable that the dogs were having a good time while we were on vacation. It was amazing how well the dogs behaved around Christian. He is the Dog Whisperer. Christian will share some of his tricks and tips if you ask him. Christian had everything ready when we arrived to pick up Coco and Rusty. We will definitely leave our dogs with Christian on our next vacation!”
“Timothy did a great job with my young pointer Clover. Clover and his dog got along great and were actually able to tire clover out! Timothy was responsive and sent lots of pictures.”
“My puppy had another awesome visit with Carol. She is a great sitter who treats my puppy like her own and keeps me updated with pictures and reports. I can go away with peace of mind knowing my puppy is in good hands. Carol is a blessing.”
“David is very awesome, had a great time with my dog and my dog had a great time with him, plus he is an amazing photographer. The pictures he took and sent to me from his stay are truly beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful memories.”
“George did such a good job watching Milo! He was attentive to him being comfortable and communicated with me multiple times a day! I could tell Milo was taken care of very well! Would use him again!!”
“Isabella takes such wonderful care of Jax. She is a very sweet peron and very responsive. He always seems so happy when I drop him off and pick him up. He loves her dog. They play alot. I'm grateful to not have to worry when I am away.”
“Karen was fantastic with our two dogs! After driving across country the pups were stressed! Is was very clear from the consistent updates that Karen helped them to relax. Karen was also very understanding about my changing schedule. I highly recommend Karen and her services!!!”
“Gino had the best time!! He went for walks and snuggled. I will use Lori again!! She sent so many great pictures and always sent updates on how Gino was doing. Great experience!!!!”
“Scott loves dog and my dog had a great time with him. What attracted my attention at the beginning was Scott’s long term experience of taking care of dogs and turned a rescued dog into a therapy dog. During meet and greet, Scott was transparent and he told me his life stories particularly with dogs by showing many pictures. He missed his last dog Jack very much. He also patiently learned my dog’s behavior in order to make my dog being less stressful and comfortable during boarding. He was willing to make changes to accommodate my dog’s behavior and he prepared well before I dropped off my dog. He updated me at least once a day with multiple pictures. I could see my dog was happy, playful and tired. When I picked up my dog, Scott reviewed details with me what happened during my dog’s stay. I highly recommend Scott being your dog sitter. Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Maria and David were amazing host. Our dog Shaani had an amazing time. They provided us with frequent updates and took care of all our dogs scheduling need. We will def be using them again in future. Highly recommend”
