Highly-rated overnight sitters - Freeport
“Ashley gets 5+ stars! Highly Recommend. Our pup was so calm when we came to get her; we could tell She got lots of attention and love. Ashley was super easy to work with.”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“I trust no one else with my 1 year old baby boy, Brucey. He feels like he is home there, and Maria and Tony take the best care of him. I am able to travel With total peace of mind because of them. Thank you!!!”
“Coralee and her family took great care of Bear. Her dogs are very playful and friendly. It was so nice getting updates everyday and seeing how happy he was playing with them all day. I will definitely be calling Coralee next time we go out of town. I’m sure Bear will be very excited to go back!”
“Jessica was AMAZING and so sweet. She was very responsive and flexible coming up with a time for a meet and greet. She sent the funniest pictures of our pup while we were away and he had a blast. Safe to say he came back spoiled. I will for sure be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Thanks Devin &Tim you took great care of dasiy. She took awhile to come around but you hung in there we appreciate you and thank you. We will recommend you to all our Dog friends.”
“Laura made Willow feel right at home from the start! And Laura made us feel comfortable right from the start with all of the photos/texts she shared. Couldn't have been happier with Willow's care.”
“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“Our 8-yr old male Airedale sometimes has his own way of looking at things. We left him with Stacey, first time, and he did fine, even through a thunderstorm. They know what they are doing. Recommended sitters.”
“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.”
“Carol and her whole crew of pups are wonderful! She took to my two pups like they were her own! We could relax on our vacation knowing they were in the best hands. Thank you!!”
“Natasha and her family treated Tito like one of their own! Excellent communication daily & sends pictures! Tito needed attention and he definitely got it with Natasha!”
“Sharon is truly incredible! This was our 2 girls’ first time staying with Sharon. Our girls can sometimes be a bit timid at first but they acclimated so well and she made them feel right at home (even bringing out an extra rug so that our Charlotte wasn’t so nervous walking on hard wood floors)! Sharon is kind, thoughtful and puts animals (and humans) at complete ease :) I’m so grateful we found her and look forward to our girls’ next stay with her!”
“Patrick and Emily were fabulous! Zeke loved it there. They provided pics and updates and took very good care of our puppy while we were away! Highly recommended”
“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!”
“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.”
“We were so comfortable leaving Chimay with Erin. I hope Bob didn’t hover too much at drop off, he is less experienced at that and can get protective. We hope all went well while she was there, it looked like she fit in from the pictures.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.
About: I'm a newly stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for as many dogs as possible. I have owned dogs my entire life and could say I have upwards of 30+ years of animal care experience. I have even worked with other animals including horses, chickens & ducks, bunnies, goats. I currently own a senior golden retriever mix and a young golden retriever. However, stubborn breeds are not a problem for me as I did own a husky for 11 yrs. I am fully comfortable administrating medication as I spent 3+ years working as a vet tech prior to starting a family. Please feel free to message with any questions, I will be happy to talk to you to ease any concerns. I recently became a stay at home mom with 2 children in elementary school and one toddler at home so I have plenty of time. I'd love to spend my additional time playing with the dogs or going for walks. I have a fully fenced in yard (6ft tall), that was reinforced to contain a husky. The outside gates are padlocked shut at all times so no worries about one being left open. No dog leaves my house unless in the fence or on a leash.
“We used Melissa for a second time to go away over Labor Day weekend and again she did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She is so thoughtful towards our animals and makes an extra effort to keep us in communication throughout the experience. We will definitely use her services again in the future when we make more travel plans!”
“Lindsey was a great dog walker! We have two high energy dogs and she handled them with patience and care. She was always very responsive and sent good updates after each visit. Would definitely recommend her for pet care needs!”
About: What makes me different is that I truly enjoy being around Cat’s and creating a calm, safe environment for them. My experience caring for family pets has taught me how important consistency, affection, and attentive care are for every type of animal.
About: I have 4 cats and one of which is feral. I have found and re-homes a cat found in my street to get it safe and well taken care of. All care needed and wanted I have been able to support through the years. I have volunteered through a cat shelter for cats with special needs and feral/barn cats. I loved to grow trust and love with these animals. As well as finding furever homes!
“Crystal has been our pet sitter for more than a year. She cares for our slightly difficult cat and our freshwater and saltwater fish. She gives our cat lots of kind attention. She observes our cat's health and can medicate her as needed. Crystal gives clear updates with each visit. She arrives for each visit as scheduled and responds quickly to each message. Our pets, our home, and even our plants are in perfect order when we return home. Crystal is an excellent pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!
“Manda is great! She kept our dog in the past and just finished doing drop-in visits for our cats. She clearly loves animals and treats them as her own! She sent great photos and kept us well-informed. I highly recommend her!”
About: It’s no mystery, I love cats! I was born and raised with cats so I know them like the back of my hand. I take pride in being a perfectionist, empathetic, and patient. From the snuggly cats to the cats who simply want their food bowl and to ignore me, I get it and I will always deliver consistent luxurious service to your feline family members. While you take care of you, let me treat your cat like the king or queen they are!
About: Does your dog prefer to be in its own environment? Then allow me to spoil your pup while you're away! You might be thinking to yourself 'Well why should I pick this girl to watch my dog?' Let me tell you why! .... I bake homemade dog treats and love to run/walk with a loveable dog by my side! And snuggling up with a pup is probably one of the best feelings ever! I have an 8 year old cockapoo at home who is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself! I love to meet other dogs and spend time with them so I'm hoping I get to meet yours soon! I am a part time student (taking online classes) and I work part time as a florist so my schedule is pretty open to take care of your 'furry child' while you are away! For the last couple of years I have been watching my parents pets while they go on vacation along with friends animals. I am just looking to broaden my horizons by using Rover! I also feel as though having someone come to your house to care for your dog/cat is a lot less stressful for your pet and you have someone who is able to bring the mail in, water any plants, make sure the trash cans are taken to the curb, and just to make sure the house is still standing! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with at least one dog always in the house. When I moved out one of the first things I did was buy a puppy. He means the world to me and I would pretty much do anything for my cockapoo, Ramsay. And yes, he is named after Gordon Ramsay! My experience administering medication Yes, I am quite comfortable with administering medications. My pup takes allergy medicine and puts up quite a little fight so it does not scare me.
“Jessica was great! She responded to every message very quickly and always kept me up to date. This was the first time I used Rover and had a wonderful experience with Jessica as my sitter. For every visit Jessica sent me pictures and let me know when she was going to arrive/leave my apartment. I highly recommend Jessica!”
About: I have had dogs and cats forever! I was the neighbor pet watcher for many years! I would rather hang with animals than people always! I work full time during the week but my weekends are always free. Spending my weekend watching or walking dogs is better than doing nothing I have a cat that i spoil to no end and giving livings too even if he wants nothing to do with me. I would spoils and give your dog all the lovings
About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 30 years now! From puppies to senior animals, I have lots of experience. With potty training, leash training, and even nursing and caring for sick and elderly pets I am available every day and I currently have my own pets ( 4 cats and 2 dogs) My pets ( and animals) in general are my first priority each day, I can “ relax” when I know my fur babies are taken care of. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable. I love all animals and make sure they are properly fed, groomed, and cared for in the very best way. All animals deserve exceptional treatment!!!
About: I have had my own cat for many years. I also have worked at a cat shelter and have seen every type of little (or big) feline with all the attitudes. I understand there little behaviors, need for space and companionship even if that's just spending some time in the same space.
About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I am 32 years old. I have always had a strong love and passion for animals of all species starting at a young age. I have worked in several animal shelters and have worked as a veterinary technician, as well as being a certified dog groomer. Animals will always and forever be my passion. In the past I have owned fish, dogs, cats, and a variety of reptiles and pocket pets. As of now I have 2 cats and 1 dog! Your fur babies are my top priority while you are away, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they are spoiled and in the best hands! Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.

“Such amazing care and flexibility with my schedule. Frankie is also only 10 weeks old, but Maria and her family were very welcoming and caring for his puppy needs. I’m truly grateful for finding them!”

About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats and some Horses for as long as I can remember. I am the person who seeks out the family pet to hang out with instead of the adults :) I raised cocker spaniels in California for a few years. (2 litters) Both my Cocker Spaniels lived to 17 years old! I now have an 11 year old Golden who is the love of my life, I have been giving him CBD for 4 years, and he still acts like a teenager. My mini Golden is a Rescue. She has really come a long way in the 2 years that I have had her. She is the queen of the house now. I love ever minute of it. I am currently not working and would love to just pet sit for a living instead of seeking anything else. I live in Hernando Beach and can either visit your home, or stay at your home. Or I can bring your fur baby to my home. I have two golden retrievers. I can even set up your pet in the lower level (where I would also stay) if your fur baby needs to be away from my two. I have a fenced yard, multiple dog doors, and we love walks! Also lots of beds and couches to snuggle up on! We live on the water and the pups can stick there paws in the water if they would like.
“Carol has been very responsive and has taken in our girl Georgie. Georgie is a little timid and backwards at first, but Carol made her feel right at home. Georgie took to her welcoming, home environment and settled right in. She gets along great with the other babies being baby/dog sat, and Carol is very good with her. We will be using Carol in 2025!”
“Evan and Courtney took great care of our dog when she was with them for a day. Our dog spent the day running around with Murphy and came home tired and ready to nap 😃 we highly recommend them for anyone seeking pet care services!”
“Adrienne is awesome and straight up THE BEST! She is super dedicated, very professional, and easy/very reliable regarding communication. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I have zero hesitation leaving my Lily with her.”
“Millie stayed with Greg a few time days now. Some were full days some were half days! He was great about sending pics and taking care of Millie. They did 2 walks every time. He was very accommodating with my hours of need. I would highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats. I can’t walk past a dog on the street without asking politely to pet them! Two years ago I rescued my dog, Stanley, who is a 24 lb terrier mix. He was abused and took a very long time to warm up, but after a lot of patience and love he’s now thriving and the best boy. I learned a lot with Stanley and feel equipped to work with shyer dogs. Stanley also likes hanging out with other dogs and would enjoy some company around the house! I currently work from home full time, so my availability is flexible. Stanley and I would be happy to have you hang out with us at my place (I’d recommend a meet and greet first). Or, I could stay at your place with your pet if that’s better for them, as long as I can have access to the WiFi so I can work. I live close to a nature trail that I take Stanley on daily, and we’re very familiar with the neighborhood. I can take frequent walk breaks and crate your pet if needed.
About: I'm from PR, and I've been a dog rescuer since 2011. I have tons of experience caring for animals and giving them the love and treatment that they deserve. I love what I do. I retire and moved to Pittsburgh on February, 2023. It makes me a perfect match for your doggy. I will treat them as if they were mine. NO cages. I have a fenced runner connected to the pets' room that allows them to safely go in and out whenever they want. You can bring their bed or any special toys. I foster rescued dogs from PR that came to Pittsburgh looking for a second chance of life, and the money earn through Rover is used to cover their health and traveling expenses. I work from home, and my office is in the room where they will spend their stay, so they will be with me most of the day, and they will be able to play with my own dogs under supervision. If they are potty trained and well behaved, they will have permission to access all the house. To be able to satisfy you pup's needs, I will ask you to write down your special instructions and promise I will follow them as written. You will receive a lot of daily pictures of your furry friends.
“Steve was a big help so we could have peace of mind that Maive was being well cared for while we where visiting In the east Pittsburgh area. Big fenced in yard! We had to change the drop off time and Steve always quick to respond, would definitely use his dog sitting services again.”
“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”
“We are so happy to have found such a great companion for our senior dog Meela. Tyler agreed to watch Meela last minute and kept us informed the entire time. Our elder girl simply likes to hang out with humans, and eat treats in her retirement age. It’s hard to find sitters that won’t leave leave her alone due to her high anxiety. All she needed was a friend, and we are glad to have found one in Tyler.”

The outside gates are padlocked shut at all times so no worries about one being left open. No dog leaves my house unless in the fence or on a leash.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.

About: I have extensive pet experience, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my life. Currently, I'm raising two shepherds and three cats. I've trained my own pets and have also helped family members with training. Additionally, I've provided care for pets while their owners are on vacation, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need. My hands-on experience with various breeds makes me well-equipped to care for your furry friends! I work as a family-based therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with animals, whether it’s walking, caring for, playing with, or training them. My job provides me the opportunity to balance my professional responsibilities with my passion for animals, ensuring that I can give your pets the attention and care they deserve. In terms of safety, trust, and environment, I prioritize creating a secure and comfortable space for pets in my home or my clients' homes. For in-home care, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe area for pets to play and explore. I also use room separators to ensure that pets remain in designated areas, and I have kennels available if needed for their comfort and security. I come prepared with my own leashes and have prior experience handling various situations to ensure the pets' safety. This allows me to guide pets effectively and manage any potential challenges that may arise. My focus is always on creating a trustworthy environment where pets feel at ease while receiving the care they need.
About: I have grown up with many dogs, little and big. From taking them walks, cleaning the poop, and even just snuggles. I have a dog now who is just 4 yrs old. I love training her to do new tricks as she grows. (She can give hugs!) I worked at a Doggy/Cat boarding/Day care and loved spending time with them to build trust. I love helping the dogs and cats meet their needs and care as if they are my own until their own family will again. I am able to work through anytime on the week days. Start at 7am-9pm on the weekends. I can adapt to times and planning, even on short notice (shortest as a day before). I am able to work through handing dogs at your house as you want/need. Even cleaning through cages, vacuum, pick up poop, straight up toys. At the same time, your pet will be loved, fed/hydrated, play through the day, and all needs and/or wants.
About: I’ve pet-sat for all sorts of breeds and ages. I enjoy being active with furry friends! Animals are a passion of mine. I am flexible with what kind of care and attention is needed to suit your pet’s needs. I am a college student with breaks before, during, and after my classes. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I would love to spend my free time with furballs! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I do well with dogs on leashes. I know how to handle dogs around other animals as well. I am also able to give medicine to pets.
About: Hi there! My name is Melissa, and I have never met a fur baby that didn't take to me quickly. Our little family includes quite a few very friendly, well behaved, and super spoiled fur (and a few non fur) kids. Our 'mini zoo' as we call it, is home to our 2 dogs, Benji (Shichon) and Cheza (white German Shepherd); 2 rabbits Khaleesi (lion head), Jack (Russian dwarf); multiple aquariums, 2 whites tree frogs Mel and Gibson; an axolotl named Niko; three cats Kira, Lilly, and our "foster fail" 2 yr old Salem! (Phew, i told you it a zoo! Haha) Any time new dogs are at our home, we keep the cats in a separate closed off part of the house, so don't worry if cats make your fur baby a little excited. Our home is filled with lots of love, treats, and toys (more than likely one or two will make it's way home with you haha) I have had dogs my entire life. I spent 7 years volunteering at our local animal shelter walking and training dogs before they found their forever homes. Working with dogs of every size, from all walks of life, has prepared me for pretty much anything I could encounter. Even though being a full time wife, brand new mom, and mini zookeeper keeps me very busy; I am still left with a lot of love in my heart for all living creatures. So now that my mini hiatus for maternity leave is over, it's time to get back into spending as much time with 'all the dogs (or cats, bunnies, chickens, birds, ect)' as I possibly can. Whether that is done by walking, stopping to visit them while they are home alone, having a fun doggy daytime party in my home, or having them stay for a slumber party, I am totally game. I have been walking on the side though another service for quite some time. I am proud of my 5 star rating, and owner compliments about my extra caring nature, trustworthiness, and reliability. Among my family, friends, and colleges, I am known to be extremely reliable, trustworthy, and happy to do whatever I can to make someone else's life easier. My goal is to continue to do that for you, and give you a piece of mind to know that your pets are in the best of hands. I am, and have always been the go-to person for all of my family & friends when they need someone to take care of their fur family. I am often told that they admire how much I love their pets as my own... which pretty much means I spoil them all with immense amounts of love, but I just can't help it! But I promise that I can guarantee I will do the same for yours. I am currently a full time wife and new mom, so I am home full time! My husband also works from home, and is usually available to give me a hand when he needs a mental health break throughout his work day. And what's a better mental health break than spending time with dogs? In our opinion, nothing! We already are caring for our own, so a couple more are just a bonus. So this means that your pets will have constant love, and plenty of opportunities to exercise. In my home we have 3/4 acre of land. Our yard is partially fenced for the time being (will be fully fenced in this fall). All visitors to our home have access to our enclosed porch for some relaxation and sunning. For potty breaks and outside exercise a high grade durable yard lead is available, but not used with escape artists, or small dog breeds. Dogs are never left unattended outside at any time. Escape artists, extra strong doggos, and small breed dogs will be leashed and additional precautions will be discussed in advance with you.
About: Having grown up with several dogs, I've developed a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of their needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience looking after and walking other people's dogs and pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I've always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time outdoors, making dog walking the perfect way for me to combine both passions. I am dependable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every dog receives the exercise, care, and affection they deserve. As a recent college graduate, I have full availability this summer before starting my first teaching position in the fall, making me a reliable and flexible option for your pet care needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine when caring for them in and out of a client's home. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, and any specific preferences or restrictions. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I strive to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. During walks, I ensure dogs are safely leashed, hydrated when needed, and given appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and individual needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a youngster. They have always made my heart happy! Family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets whether it was dog sitting, walking, or just dropping by they have always known their fur babies were in good hands with me! I currently work part time as a Medical Assistant which leaves lots of room for me to do what I love- spend time with dogs. If your dog prefers a furry companion- I have a very well socialized pup of my own who loves to play and go for walks. I am a lover of the outdoors myself so long walks are just as much as a bonus for me as they are for your pup. If your dog prefers to lounge around I can handle that as well!

Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.

“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Coralee and her family took great care of Bear. Her dogs are very playful and friendly. It was so nice getting updates everyday and seeing how happy he was playing with them all day. I will definitely be calling Coralee next time we go out of town. I’m sure Bear will be very excited to go back!”

“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“Our 8-yr old male Airedale sometimes has his own way of looking at things. We left him with Stacey, first time, and he did fine, even through a thunderstorm. They know what they are doing. Recommended sitters.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“We were so comfortable leaving Chimay with Erin. I hope Bob didn’t hover too much at drop off, he is less experienced at that and can get protective. We hope all went well while she was there, it looked like she fit in from the pictures.”
“Jordan was exceptional with our pup! She is an expert in the field and provides high quality care. She provided regular updates with pictures during the booking. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Meliisa and her family are amazing !!! They took such great care of Balto !! Balto became part of the family while he was there and enjoyed all the things he does at home :). Highly recommend Meliisa !!”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.”
“This is a genuinely wonderful, kind family. My pups have been on short and long stays with them. The communication is excellent. Nelia asked questions to make sure the pups felt safe and at home and sent lots of pictures. It gives me comfort knowing the pups are in good hands. I highly recommend!”
