Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lower Burrell
“Ashley was an awesome pet sitter for my two dogs. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos, and videos. The dogs had a truly wonderful time with her. It was a huge comfort to know they were being cared for so well while we were traveling.”
“Natasha was so good to our dog. He was walked daily and loved playing with her kids and her dog. I think he might of had as much fun as we did on our trip! I was nervous about using Rover for first time, but we wouleld definitely use Natasha again. She really took such good care of him and sent so many cute updates, it was fun to see the adventure he was having while we were away.”
“Our dog Taylor had another great weekend stay with Andrew and Karen! Andrew sent us lots of updates with photos and videos. Will be using them again soon for our week long vacation.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Our boys had a great time with Barb! Her experienced background helped ease my own apprehension about leaving them with anyone other than family. She understood all their quirks in no time! She sent photos and messages daily that helped us as well! Getting ready to book their next stay!”
“Jessica was a great communicator. She treated Murphy like he was her own. Jessica was very easy to coordinate pick up and drop off. Will definitely use again.”
“Sharon was awesome accommodating a last minute boarding for my corgi, Millie! Millie can definitely be a handful, but Sharon was totally unfazed. Millie loved her time here and had so much fun playing with the other dogs. Sharon was so sweet and helpful even when we were running late for pickup. Lots of video and photo updates helped keep me at ease and were beyond adorable. 5 stars and I would definitely book again!!”
“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.”
“Coralee is a perfect sitter. She and her family are kind, gentle and tremendous animal lovers. She is intuitive, asks all the right questions, and not only cares about your pet but also you as an owner. She is communicative with her updates and was ready to send a pic of Margot being adorable whenever the moment struck. I cannot wait for Margot's next stay at the Casa de Coralee! ♥️”
About: I’m a devoted dog lover offering safe, caring, and dependable boarding. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be loved, cuddled, and cared for like one of my own. I have experience with caring for bullies, mix breeds , and purebreds of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I recently completed the Certificate of Training for Pet First Aid & CPR through Pet Tech I have doggie clients that I walk however your dog will never be left alone for extended periods. If your dog requires more personalized attention I will be able to modify schedule to ensure your dog feels loved and safe. I genuinely love dogs and take pride in providing a safe, caring, and reliable place for them to stay. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet time, your dog will be cared for like one of my own. We have a large fenced in yard and the house is dog proof to ensure no safety concerns. Your pup will have a choice on where to sleep pending on preference….crate, dog bed or on a human bed. Experienced with administering medication. Daily photos and updates included! The boarding and/or daycare home will not have any other dogs. If your pup likes a canine friend then I can introduce Caesar, our English Bulldog , who lives a few houses down the street in our primary home.
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
“Beatriz always does an amazing job! She is so sweet and caring and my dog is always so happy when I come pick her up. I can tell she takes amazing care of the dogs in her care and my dog has even started getting excited when we pull up to her house. She is so responsive and always sends the cutest pictures and videos of my dog while I’m gone! She’s truly the best and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, she will treat your pet like her own!”
“Regina did an amazing job. Wheezie is high energy with separation anxiety. She sent me lots of pictures and when I picked her up I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. I have health problems and she was able to take her last minute and showed her the care I am very happy with. I need not look anywhere else from now on any time I need to board her we will go straight to Regina!”
“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.”
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’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I grew up with dogs and over the last 10+ years became a huge cat person as well, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and walks throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I currently have two cats, so I understand how important it is to trust someone treating your pets like family. I’m dependable, patient, active, and love spending time outdoors getting exercise with pets while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting in your home depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy getting my steps in and staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to while making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and supervised environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I do currently have two cats, so I ask that dogs staying with me are cat-friendly. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routine, follow feeding/walking instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I believe pets should feel safe, loved, and treated like family in any environment. I have a pet-friendly backyard space for supervised outdoor time, walks, and play. Since the yard is not fenced in, safety and supervision are always a priority.

“Allison was wonderful! Our very loving, yet very quirky animals, absolutely loved her. She checked in and out, sent multiple pictures of all the animals playing and had zero issues. We will definitely be using Allison for all our upcoming trips and we appreciate all her help! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sarah was incredible. Our cat is a little shy and dumb and Sarah got her to come out and even got some cuddles (with a little convincing with treats of course). It was great to know that our cat was getting some love while we are out of town!😁”
“Suzanna did a wonderful job taking care of Otis and Alfi! She noticed some blood in one of the cat’s stools and told me about it right away. She also handled a power outage which tripped the security alarm very responsibly. Thank you Suzanna!!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our cat. She made it a priority to get to know her and become “friends”… Stephanie is also very reliable, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to make sure your pet is well taken care if while you’re away ☺️”
About: While I’m newer to cat sitting, I have experience caring for a cat and made sure they felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I understand that every cat has their own personality—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm and quiet environment. I’m very patient and gentle, and I always take the time to let cats warm up to me at their own pace. I can handle feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing a stress-free environment while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your cat feels comfortable, and cared for, while also keeping you updated so you have peace of mind!
“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!”
“Once again, Brandon has kept our kitties happy while we’re away. He sent great photos and thorough reports. And it was extra hot, so he even watered our outdoor plants a couple times. We feel so lucky to have found such a great pet sitter!”
“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”
About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.
“Katlyn was amazing! Sebastian enjoyed her time with her. Her notes were very detailed and consistent with each visit. I loved the pictures of my cat as well! I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also owned and cared for goats and rabbits and raised them from birth. I am an animal lover with 2 dogs currently I can do morning walks during the week until 1 pm. I can also do any time on the weekends typically with advanced notice. I will have night time availability during summer I will care for clients pets as if they were my own and work to earn their trust and make them comfortable.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lower Burrell
“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!”
“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.”
“My puppy had a great experience at doggy daycare with Maria and Tony. The communication was great throughout the day and I felt confident Samson was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Sophie was fantastic and Eva seemed happy when I went to pick her up. I would be very comfortable leaving Eva in Sophie's care again if needed. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet girl!”

“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
About: Hi! I’m Jessica — your bubbly, animal-obsessed, tail-wagging, purr-loving pet sitter! 🐾💕 Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without a little purring soundtrack in the background. Over the years, I’ve also fostered cats and kittens, helping them grow, socialize, and find their forever homes. From playful little ones to shy rescues who just need patience and love — I’ve been there, and I adore every minute of it. I’m also a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, so I fully understand how important routine, structure, playtime, and snuggles are. Whether your dog loves long walks, backyard zoomies, or couch cuddles, I’m happy to match their energy. With over 8 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling special diets, and giving extra TLC to senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own — because that’s exactly how I’d want mine cared for. And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! I also have experience caring for chickens — feeding, watering, collecting eggs, monitoring health, and keeping coops tidy. I genuinely enjoy working with them and understand the importance of consistent, attentive care for backyard flocks. Animals bring so much joy to my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job — it’s something that truly fills my heart. I’m reliable, attentive, and full of love to give. Your pets will be safe, happy, and showered with affection while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) family! 🐶🐱🐔💛 When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family — because that’s exactly what they deserve! Expect regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in great hands. Comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and maintaining routines exactly as you prefer. Consistency is key! Above all, your pet will receive patience, affection, and individualized attention. Whether they’re high-energy or shy and sweet, I meet them where they are. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you!

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.
About: I am the current owner of an 10 week old Rough Collie and a two year old Dalmatian Lab mix. Our fur babies are just as important as our human one! My family also has solid experience with senior pets. I have had many and varied pets over the years: cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, birds and have loved them all! I will love your baby just like my very own! Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to care for your non human babies! I look forward to meeting each and every one! If you talk with any of my family and friends they know how crazy I am about my fur babies and your fur babies will too! I look forward to meet you in person! Sincerely, I am a full time stay at home caregiver for my dad who is partially paralyzed. I am able to always be available to your pets in my home. I am able to let your dogs run free in my fenced-in and private back yard and I can walk them daily or more around my pet friendly neighborhood.
“Beau had a great time with Joe. He is a 2 yo 100 lb mastiff-Dane puppy who likes to romp around. Joe was happy to accommodate him and provide him with activities and supervised play with the other pups he had visiting. Joe is not intimidated by big puppies in the least. Beau returned home happy and tired! I feel comfortable having Beau stay for an extended stay with Joe and his family.”
About: I’ve owned, trained, and taken care of dogs for 26 years. I’ve had a Dachshund, Beagles, Rottweiler, and have fostered - and trained - a German Shepard, two Pit bulls, Husky, and currently a Penkingese. The German Shepard came to me from a friend who was rescuing him but couldn’t train him properly so I spent almost 2 months with him - trained him how to walk properly on a leash, stop nipping, and to become a follower rather then a pack leader. I then returned him to my friend (who I can give contact info so you can ask directly) who still has him to this day. My Rottweiler was the first dog that I had living on my own and within a month she was potty and crate trained, I trained her to walk properly OFF the leash, and even trained her to only sit in one specific spot in the car (passenger side backseat). She unfortunately passed away before my kids were born and it wasn’t fair to adopt dogs with the zero free time babies give you. My kids are now older and since I work from home, I’m excited to have dogs back around. Everyone (including dogs) that enters my home is treated like family. I’m a very hands on parent and that translates to all levels of care - whether it’s a pet or kid. I personally walk twice a day (typically by myself) so your dogs will be engaged and exercised. If you have any questions, feel free to ask - I’m very big on transparency. I work full time from home but own my own business. Due to this, I don’t have a fixed schedule or designated breaks or lunches, I can start and stop whenever I want or need to. Your dogs will never be interrupting or waiting on me for whatever they might need. I have a home with a good sized yard. Since I’m home 99.9% of the time, there really is no need to crate (unless for whatever reason you require that for sleeping or some other situation). They can sleep with me and sit on furniture (again unless you don’t want that due to the rules in your home and those rules will be followed and respected here). I’m home throughout the entire day as I work from home. He/she will be engaged & never alone while here. We also have a young dog who is sweet with all. We have long leashes and a fairly private yard, are frequently outside and would never leave them unattended. We treat all those who enter just as family.
“Maureen & her family were so wonderful! It was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they exceeded any expectations! They were so friendly and really accommodating at the last minute. They made my dog Bear feel right at home, and you can tell they are passionate dog people so they’ll make you and your pup feel comfortable too! Maureen sent me pictures throughout the day, took Bear for walks, and gave him so much love. I’ll definitely use them again in the future when something comes up and I need a sitter!”

“Suzanna is actually what we were looking for! She is so sweet and our Josie LOVES her. We know that when we’re unable to be home because of work, we can count on Suzanna to come take care of our little girl ❤️”
About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.
About: I've been pet sitting for over 15 years. I routinely watch my friends and family's pets. I have also had pets of my own, including dogs and cats. I have summers off and am very flexible with schedules. During the year I am free most days but can also work around with any schedule. I have experience with crate training. I also have experience using dog diapers on unspayed dogs. I am flexible and adaptive to whatever your wishes may be!

“Raquelle was awesome, she responds very quickly and is super flexible, she was able to fit me in same day and at very weird hours due to my schedule. This was the first time using rover, or any dog walking service for that matter, and she made me feel very comfortable to leave my pup with her. She also sends tons of photos and updates.”
“Had a last minute same day request for our 6 month old puppy Zari! Rebecca responded immediately and was able to accommodate the drop in/walk visit! Communication was excellent. We will be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Kita was Chico (14 yrs old) and Rusty’s (4 yrs old) first dog walker. Our boys are quite the handful and Kita handled them like a pro! She was always on time, kind, and attentive to the boys and their unique needs. They quickly attached to her and her great energy. We will be using her services again. Book her - your animals deserve it.”

About: I have had three younger siblings with also having three different sized dogs as I grew up at the same time as I would babysit them, and it was harder to watch my siblings than the dogs lol. I currently have a 6:30-3:30 am job in McKees Rocks and only 25 minutes from home in Oakmont! I love dogs and have had all sizes of dogs throughout my life! I’m looking for the dog companionship and something else to do on my nights and weekend off that are filled with loving pets! I would love to have my own dog but my building is a little strict with sizing on Pets, so this is the best I can do for now! I would care for them by their rules and perhaps a itemized schedule and or list of things they love to do, things to avoid and also make sure to be around the dog constantly and give numerous amounts of attention and care while away from their owners
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 and I have taken increased responsibility over those years: feeding them, walking them, and watching them while my parents are out of town. I’ve dealt with training puppies: like walking on the leash, teaching simple tricks, and house training them. I’ve taken care of one dog through her end-of-life: including giving medicine, and dealing with bleeding and bladder control issues. I’m open seven days a week during normal day time hours. I’m willing to walk dogs or visit them in home. I have my own transportation if needed. I would walk the dogs in their neighbourhood or a local park. I’m willing to visit the home to play or help train the dog.
About: I love walking, playing, & watching all sorts of dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house since I was a little girl. Dogs are my best friends! I currently work as a nurse so my schedule moves around a bit. Typically I am only working about 3 days a week! Any of my 4 days off I can be available! My home is friendly & welcoming to all different dogs. I do have a fenced in yard, & a dog who gets along great with others!
“You did a great job with Seamus today! I prepared a portable water bag with one Greenie's capsule-size soft peanut butter pill pockets, broken up into small edible bites in a closed container for my Yorkie! (Too much gives him soft stools.). kmc”
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!
About: I believe our pets deserve the best care especially in times where pet moms/dads have to provide and take care of themselves, that’s where I come in to help focus on your pet and give them the same energy you would, so you can think about you! Patience, perfectionism, calmness, consideration, these are all things I take pride in. I am a very loving, gentle care taker (who loves to burn some energy off too through play!) I will focus on making sure your pets every need is met while going above and beyond to ensure they feel emotionally happy, safe, and respected by me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day, any time! I have reliable transportation and am available last minute if you need me I always start with a clean & sanitary space by ensuring food bowls, water bowls, beds blankets etc are all sanitary. Enrichment activities, brain stimulation, exercise, massages, cooking homemade dog/cat food, outfits/shoes for heat/cold protection, etc.
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.

“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.”
“Coralee is a perfect sitter. She and her family are kind, gentle and tremendous animal lovers. She is intuitive, asks all the right questions, and not only cares about your pet but also you as an owner. She is communicative with her updates and was ready to send a pic of Margot being adorable whenever the moment struck. I cannot wait for Margot's next stay at the Casa de Coralee! ♥️”

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.”

Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”
