“Rosa was amazing! Mango loved her and her family. She sent photos and questions which I really appreciated. She was very accommodating picked Mango up and dropped her off. We love Rosa!”
“Lorraine is delightful! She has a nice space for dogs to socialize, play, and relax. We were in town briefly for an outdoor adventure, and our dog had a great time overnight while we could not be with her.”
“Absolutely PERFECT! Michaela is a gem. She provided daily updates and photos and even a video of Maggie playing with another dog. Maggie LOVES Michaela which makes me feel so comfortable and happy. If you are looking for an outstanding sitter for your pet, look no further.”
“Debbie and Phil have watched Zola numerous times and always treat her like their own! I never have to worry about her when she is with them. Their house and yard is an absolute retreat for Zola. Five stars all the way and highly recommend them!”
“Emily was very accommodating and friendly. My golden doodle had a great time spending the week with her. She sent daily updates to let me know how my girl was doing. She was willing to giver her medication daily and listened to any concerns or routines my pup has and react to them. Great experience! Will use again!”
“Deirdre has a very kind soul and it is apparent in the way that she treats her dogs & farm. Louise was happy as could be when we came and picked her up. How couldn’t she be happy? Deirdre has ample space to let her pups run around safely!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail! Big or small, scaley or fluffy, I love all animals and will give them the respect and care they need. 150lb newfy who wants head pats and to drool on me? Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.
“Thank you very much for caring for Oliver! His first boarding experience was great (happy pup = great experience). The communication was great and the pictures/videos helped us feel better too.”
“I was able to thoroughly relax and enjoy my own vacation knowing that Maggie was loved, well care for, and had other dogs to play with. I will definitely keep this service and Kristen M. in my contacts for all my future needs.”
“Marián was incredible with my puppy! Her dogs are so friendly and did so well with her. Marián provided an ample amount of exercise and enrichment for Luna. Her timing was flexible which i appreciated so much. Many updates and pictures were provided which put me at ease. I am already planning on booking her to watch my puppy again for my next vacation.”
“Our dog loved Lynnea! Lynnea was so attentive, considerate, and caring toward our baby girl. She can be very anxious and needy when being introduced to new environments. However, coupled with Lynnea’s own dog (who is so playful and cute) and her home being warm welcoming, our dog loved being there. We were updated with pictures throughout her whole stay. She loved all the snuggles and cuddles she was able to receive and was never alone. She came home nice and tired :) Sky looks forward to another visit!!”
“Another great experience with Crystal! Our kitties came home bright eyed and with shiny coats to tell us they had a grand time. We couldn't ask for more! Communication throughout their stay was daily and let us know how well the stay was progressing. We are thankful to have Crystal as a host for our cats!”
“Alex was Phenomenal with our sweet girl! We constantly got updates, pictures and videos of our baby girl having a blast. Georgie didn't want to leave when it was time to go haha. I 100% recommend Alex and we will for sure be using her services again.”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for our two high energy pups. We booked her over the holidays and she went above and beyond. She gave them all the care and affection they needed and was very open in her communication with us. Her dog Nio enjoyed the company of our dogs and was a great play mate for them. Based on how happy our dogs looked in the many photos she sent us, we would highly recommend Linda for your pet sitting needs.”
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“Stacy is amazing!! Our Zayde loves being with her and when you are on vacation and know that your furry baby is cared for like you would care for them it is such a relief.. We are so grateful for Stacy!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I’m around 10 years old. I myself have a yellow lab and a German shepherd along with 2 cats. I myself have personally trained both. I’m the person who is always out helping look for lost animals. Somehow lost animals also end up on my front porch looking for a way in. My son and I always stop to pet someone’s dog. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to animals. Currently home for the summer not working. Available 24/7. No vacation plans. Large fenced in yard. Love to take my lab for walks/swims if your dog likes water. I’m up with my animals at 6 am for feedings and outside time. I would wake up when they wake up to take to the bathroom and feed. I’m usually up with my own animals around 6 am. Lots of playtime and fetch. Snuggles and treats. Walks.
“Jill and Scott were great with my dog! They took pictures and sent me updates everyday. They even met my niece with Lasso to exchange him! Everything was so smooth and easy and we really appreciate it with just moving to town and having no one to care for our dog I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again”

About: I've grown up around cats of all kinds: house cats, feral, barn cats, you name it. I've even raised two litters of bottle babies. My cats are named Manson and Salem. Manson has been with me for over 10 years and is the other half of my soul (sorry to my husband). Salem is a certified daddy's girl and is still a little feral. Weather your feline wants unlimited chin scratches or zero eye contact with a 10 foot social distance, im happy to be there for them!
About: I have had pets all my life! Cats and dogs! I currently have two labs. I am comfortable of taking care of dogs of any age or size. One of my dogs is currently on medication so I’m comfortable with giving dogs medication if needed! I work a full time job and have my two girls to take care of. I would be able to take care of your pets before and after work or on the weekends if I have availability! I will not be taking care of pets in my home at this time due to having two dogs of my own. Sorry for the inconvenience.
About: I have a special place in my heart for cats as both of my cat babies were off the street stray rescue kittens that I have nursed back to health. I have a Russian blue and an orange one! I can do whatever cat care is needed and know how to get along with some feisty cats.🐈 ❤️
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I have a special place in my heart for cats as I have five rescues of my own. I have experience with skittish and friendly cats as well as cats with dietary needs, daily oral medication needs, cats with no teeth, Megacolon, and Deaf cats. I also cannot smell due to having Covid years ago so litter box cleaning isn’t an issue for me.
“Marián has been so great with Charlie. She is timely, sends updates, and makes sure everything is the way it was left. I appreciate her services and will be using her again! 10/10 experience!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life !

“I can't recommend Megan highly enough, she's incredibly reliable and trustworthy! My two fur babies, normally very wary of strangers, absolutely love her. She sent thoughtful daily updates and photos while we were away, and replied to messages super quickly! Thank you, Megan, I'm so relieved to have found someone I can truly trust with my fur babies!”
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
“I can’t thank Beth enough for taking such wonderful care of my two cats. I was able to truly enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in the best hands. She kept me regularly updated and always reassured me that they were doing well. I’m so grateful for her care and attention.”
“Emili was great with Onyx and kept us updated and sent photos. We were comfortable with how she interacted with Onxy from the first meeting (especially since Onyx normally shys away from strangers). We would highly recommend Emili and will definitely be using her again!”
“We were so happy to have Jasmine! We were gone for the holidays and she made sure to keep our cats very happy while we were away. With lots of photos each day and the little updates she sent, we felt very secure in being away from the house. She did a great job :)”
“Diana was wonderful with Lola Cat. She was so attentive, showed up at the scheduled times and stayed in constant communication with me throughout my time away, which I appreciated very much. Lola really warmed up to her quickly and I can tell that she liked her. That made me happy. Would definitely book again. (Thanks, Diana!)”
About: I have been taking care of cats for over 20 years. I’m great at clipping claws, cleaning and showing love ! I have 2 cats of my own who even have their own cat room with auto litter box, water fountain and cats toys galore.
About: I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions. We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs. I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).
“Britt was amazing and stayed in contact the whole trip. Provided plenty of pictures and updates to assure us the little ones were safe. She followed all instructions and did more than asked to make our return easier. We will definitely be using her again for future trips knowing we found a trustworthy sitter.”

“I feel so blessed to have found Rosa on Rover. She was so good with my 6-lb shitzu mix, Fiona. She sent me videos, updates, agreed to do a video call while I was on vacation and I have never seen Fiona so happy. She had her own vacation with Rosa and her family. I will certainly reach out to her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and professional pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Rosa!!!”
“I was very nervous leaving my new puppy for an entire day, but had no other choice. I found Lorraine on Rover.com. She was so very sweet to Bella, and I felt confident that Bella would have a great time spending the day with her and her husband. I know she treated Bella as if she was her own and loved her the way I do. I will definitely use Lorraine again and have no reservations in recommending her to others.”
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I was a child. I put only three years of experience because that’s when I turned 18. I have dealt with small dogs, big dogs, medium dogs, cats, and other kinds of furry and non-furry pets. I am here to give your four legged animals love and attention and their parents the support they need. I am currently working full-time 3 PM to 1 AM. I am always off Monday and Thursday and have a random third day off. That may seem like a tight schedule now but that is subject to change soon and I’m looking forward to meeting every one of your loved furry babies! I have a very large yard, although unfenced, but I do have two different leads hooked up outside. I do have a large size crate, if needed and wanted. My mom lives with us and she has two dogs, one big and old, one small and young who are both well-behaved and socialized for other dogs. We are also able to keep them away from your loved ones if preferred.

“I was overjoyed to hear that Emily was still available to sit my pups given the state of our world with the COVID-19 Pandemic! While working remotely has its advantages and disadvantages, one of which covers both: pets at home surrounding you when working, a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, by Emily's willingness to watch my dogs for a doggie day care and play date with her dogs gave me the needed relief from them and the necessary exercise for them. It worked out perfectly! While following CDC's guideline of 6-feet apart, not entering her home, and neither of us ill, I feel the day was a great asset to my remaining sane through this challenging landscape we all find ourselves in. Thanks, again, Emily! My pups love visiting and I love visiting your menagerie, too!!”

“Jill was amazing! Delilah had so much fun with her and her fur babies, Riley and Kalliope. Very responsive and received lots of photos of Delilah enjoying her time there. Would recommend Jill for anyone needing someone to care for their fur babies, as they will be cared for like her own.”
“We love Erin and her dog Charlie! Erin had a good size yard that they both run like crazy in chasing each other. Erin always sends me updates through the day to let me know how our girl is doing!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful caring for our pup. She watched our boy for the day and I never had any doubt that he would not be well taken care of. Melissa is a great communicator and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and a dog lover.”

About: I have cared for animals for over 10 years on my own, which included letting them out taking them on walks, feeding them cleaning up outside bathing them. I also volunteer at shelters to help care for their animals. I have an extra few hours in my day, which allows me to have time to care for others when needed because I know how difficult it is to find a sitter while going away I would care for them just as I do my own with love respect and I would follow their routine and what they do for their pet so they feel comfortable while they are gone

“Marian was very willing to provide her dog walking services on such a short notice after I had a previous plan backfire on me. While I couldn't meet her beforehand, we put in a plan for her to get my keys so she can meet Bandit and take him for walks. She was very professional and from what I can tell, Bandit enjoyed his time with her and the walks. Highly recommend Marian and will definitely be using her for future needs!”

“Diana has been so wonderful with my anxious pup. Laila has warmed up to her new human friend quicker than she does with most new people. She also gives her her medicine which is a huge relief. I am a nightshift nurse so my schedule is super bizarre but she is always quick to respond to any requests I ask which is helpful for planning purposes. Thanks Diana! Xoxo”

When summer rolls around I am free almost any time on weekdays! I may be able to fit some pets in on the weekends as well. I have two dogs of my own, so I am always careful with keeping things out of reach, making sure all doors/gates are secure, and that your pup is happy and healthy!

Bonus: my husky loves making new friends, and I also share his funny adventures on social media for fellow pet lovers to enjoy! I dedicate quality time to every pet and treat pet care seriously—whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or dog boarding.

Communication is very important to me, and I always keep pet parents updated and informed.

I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will make sure they receive lots of exercise, love, and care, along with regular photo updates.
About: I’ve shown a love for all animals by taking care of my childhood dog and also my neighbors and friends dogs since I was 15. I would come home from school and all I could think about was taking my dog for a walk. Feeding them their meals was the highlight of my day, just to see them as happy as they were. I have 2 cats now and they are my literal children. I work full time, but with the mornings and evenings open I can walk and/or check in. I’m the kind of person that if you need someone to watch your pets on a dime, I’ll be there! I will not be having pets in my home (apartment complex) but when I am at a clients house, the pets comfort is my upmost priority. I would rather the pet get to know me a bit before any services. That is the pet’s home and I am a new human. I’d be afraid too!
About: I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions. We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs. I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).
About: I've had several dogs growing up into adulthood. I currently am employed as an EMT full-time 2 days a week, and a dog dad. My job allows me to see various dog behaviors, and how to deal with animals when they are stressed or in distress. As an animal lover myself, I know how hard it is to leave your loved one behind while away. I am trustworthy, respectful, and responsible; with credible references. I am currently looking to sit/walk during my off-time which happens to be about 5 days out of the week. I would be available anytime: morning, noon, or night. I have a larger dog named Bear. His name speaks for itself! He is 100 pounds of pure love for anything he sees. Bear is special and will give your pet space if need be. His previous best friend was a 6 pound Chihuahua! I have a small backyard if need be, but usually I will walk around town with a bag for cleanup.
About: I am in school to become a dog trainer. I’d love to have more experience working with dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I also work at Camp 4 Paws in Kunkletown PA and I’ve had experience working in other kennels prior! I am currently doing online school and working full time, my hours are 1-9pm every mon-fri. If I have enough notice I can take off if need be but I can also help before or after work and on weekends! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love taking care of them! I currently have 2 cats, a pug, a Cava-Tsu, and 3 Sarplaniacs (large mountain dogs). I am a full-time college student who studies online and have lots of flexibility! I’ve pet sat for both dogs and cats many times and willing to give out any references if requested, just send me a message if you’re in need of a sitter! I’m currently a full time online college student so I have a very flexible schedule, I’m available weekdays and weekends! I take same day appointments and accept one day cancellation notices. I follow any notes or instructions about your pet to a tee in order to ensure they are well taken care of. I’m willing to take them on walks several times a day, let them out for bathroom breaks every few hours, and brush them if needed. I can also take them to my house if needed!

“Lorraine is delightful! She has a nice space for dogs to socialize, play, and relax. We were in town briefly for an outdoor adventure, and our dog had a great time overnight while we could not be with her.”
“Absolutely PERFECT! Michaela is a gem. She provided daily updates and photos and even a video of Maggie playing with another dog. Maggie LOVES Michaela which makes me feel so comfortable and happy. If you are looking for an outstanding sitter for your pet, look no further.”
“Emily was very accommodating and friendly. My golden doodle had a great time spending the week with her. She sent daily updates to let me know how my girl was doing. She was willing to giver her medication daily and listened to any concerns or routines my pup has and react to them. Great experience! Will use again!”
“Deirdre has a very kind soul and it is apparent in the way that she treats her dogs & farm. Louise was happy as could be when we came and picked her up. How couldn’t she be happy? Deirdre has ample space to let her pups run around safely!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail! Big or small, scaley or fluffy, I love all animals and will give them the respect and care they need. 150lb newfy who wants head pats and to drool on me? Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.
“Thank you very much for caring for Oliver! His first boarding experience was great (happy pup = great experience). The communication was great and the pictures/videos helped us feel better too.”
“I was able to thoroughly relax and enjoy my own vacation knowing that Maggie was loved, well care for, and had other dogs to play with. I will definitely keep this service and Kristen M. in my contacts for all my future needs.”
“Marián was incredible with my puppy! Her dogs are so friendly and did so well with her. Marián provided an ample amount of exercise and enrichment for Luna. Her timing was flexible which i appreciated so much. Many updates and pictures were provided which put me at ease. I am already planning on booking her to watch my puppy again for my next vacation.”
“Our dog loved Lynnea! Lynnea was so attentive, considerate, and caring toward our baby girl. She can be very anxious and needy when being introduced to new environments. However, coupled with Lynnea’s own dog (who is so playful and cute) and her home being warm welcoming, our dog loved being there. We were updated with pictures throughout her whole stay. She loved all the snuggles and cuddles she was able to receive and was never alone. She came home nice and tired :) Sky looks forward to another visit!!”
“Another great experience with Crystal! Our kitties came home bright eyed and with shiny coats to tell us they had a grand time. We couldn't ask for more! Communication throughout their stay was daily and let us know how well the stay was progressing. We are thankful to have Crystal as a host for our cats!”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for our two high energy pups. We booked her over the holidays and she went above and beyond. She gave them all the care and affection they needed and was very open in her communication with us. Her dog Nio enjoyed the company of our dogs and was a great play mate for them. Based on how happy our dogs looked in the many photos she sent us, we would highly recommend Linda for your pet sitting needs.”
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“Stacy is amazing!! Our Zayde loves being with her and when you are on vacation and know that your furry baby is cared for like you would care for them it is such a relief.. We are so grateful for Stacy!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I’m around 10 years old. I myself have a yellow lab and a German shepherd along with 2 cats. I myself have personally trained both. I’m the person who is always out helping look for lost animals. Somehow lost animals also end up on my front porch looking for a way in. My son and I always stop to pet someone’s dog. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to animals. Currently home for the summer not working. Available 24/7. No vacation plans. Large fenced in yard. Love to take my lab for walks/swims if your dog likes water. I’m up with my animals at 6 am for feedings and outside time. I would wake up when they wake up to take to the bathroom and feed. I’m usually up with my own animals around 6 am. Lots of playtime and fetch. Snuggles and treats. Walks.
“Jill and Scott were great with my dog! They took pictures and sent me updates everyday. They even met my niece with Lasso to exchange him! Everything was so smooth and easy and we really appreciate it with just moving to town and having no one to care for our dog I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again”
“Daniel and his kids were awesome with Charlie. He was able to meet with some accommodations that were required for the drop off. He took Charlie around and kept us updated throughout the stay. I recommend and will book again.”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our furbabies! We appreciate the updates and pictures and knowing that they're safe so we could be away on our trip. I'm so glad that we found you and we will definitely be back! Thank you....thank you....thank you!”
“Celestia and Ryan were absolutely great. They accommodated my last-minute trip and boarded my dog Rocky for two nights and three days. They sent me pictures and videos, which ease my worries. Rocky had the best time. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much Celestia and Ryan.”
