“Adriana was fantastic! Her home is a perfect setup. She has multiple spaces for the dogs inside and out. She is also a very good communicator. Sent lots of pictures and video every day! My dog Rocky was cared for like he was her own. Thank you!”
“Glenn took fantastic care of our pups while we were away. It was reassuring to know that they were in good hands while we were out on vacation, would definitely recommend having him watch our fur babies in the future!”
“We have been a long time customer of Cheyenne and she treats our cockapoo Sander like her own, it’s his second home and he really loves going there. I’ve always been at ease knowing he is under her care and never had to worry about leaving him. He’s an only child so he also benefits from the socialization- she is truly an amazing pup mom/sitter”
“Samantha took such great care of our pups! She was friendly, super responsive and responsible! Our pups came home very content and seemed to have loved their stay with her family, we HIGHLY recommend!”
“They were wonderful with my new puppy Charlie. They sent me pictures and they treated him like one of their own. I felt comfortable leaving him with them.”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
“Anna is fabulous. My guy is a little stand offish with me people yet Anna won him over in no time at all. Provided cuddles, lots of play time and he even made some new friends. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough!”
“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“I cant say enough about Sairy. To see how much my dog loves her time there makes my Heart happy. She sends me videos and pictures keeping me engaged with her daily activities. She is forever Remy's keeper when I need her in the future. She luvs luvs luvs her Aunt Sairy. ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals and pets my whole life. From puppies to senior dogs, I love taking precious l puppers under my wing while they need it! I am a long time pet owner who is now a medical student. My schedule is flexible and my work/study allows me to have time to care for pets and give them the time they deserve. I have a safe environment where pets will be given attention and love along with their everyday needs like food, water, walks, and potty times!
“Hailey was the perfect sitter remedy for an unexpected cancellation from a previous sitter of mine. She provided constant updates on his well-being, along with pictures and videos. Seeing as Cooper is a special needs dog, and that he had a good time, is a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody that asked, and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Bryan was great. He and his wife are very nice and they were very kind to our two Small Munsterlander dogs. Very accommodating and willing to do whatever is needed. We did a quick meet / greet at the park prior to the drop off date. While they were with Bryan, he sent pictures and videos, they had great play time in his fenced yard and enjoyed the socializing with his other dogs. They were worn out when we picked them up! They had a great time. I would definitely recommend Bryan and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”

“My cat was very recently diagnosed with diabetes. I had to attend a family event out of town. Freya made it possible for me to leave him for a few days because she had all the knowledge and skills to care for Finn. Freya sent me photos of Finn every day and mentioned that he was doing well. I won't hesitate to call on Freya whenever I have to leave my cat in the future.”
“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”
“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
“I must admit having a total stranger come to my house while away made me nervous. I met Brooke prior to booking her and knew right away she would be perfect. I am extremely happy with her and pleased to know I can use her again. She even went above and beyond and brought in two heavy packages that got delivered that wasn’t supposed to come for another week. I highly recommend Brooke and plan on using her again.”
About: I’ve been a cat lover for years and have experience caring for my own cats as well as helping friends and family with their pets. I’m reliable, attentive to details, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure their cat receives the best possible care.
“I knew as soon as I met Samantha that my dog Millie was in good hands. Samantha is professional, kind and responsible. She sent me texts and a picture of Millie shortly after dropping her off to let me know that she was adjusting well. I would highly recommend Samantha for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years and have experience with breeds ranging from Siberian huskies to chihuahuas! I share a deep passion for animals and take pride in my care for all furbabies. I work full-time but my love for animals is my top priority! Eventually, I want to make pet-sitting and taking care of animals my full-time career! I have experience in crating dogs, feeding, administering topical and oral medications. We will set up a meet and greet prior to booking to make sure your pet(s) are comfortable with me!
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and personalized care I give to every pet. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppy care (including basic training and potty routines), senior pets who may need extra support or medication reminders, and cats of all temperaments—from shy and quiet to playful and curious. Whether it’s structured walks, enrichment play, calm companionship, or keeping a consistent routine, I tailor my care to what each pet needs most. My goal is to make your dogs and cats feel genuinely loved and to give you complete peace of mind. I currently work full time. I am available after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I will communicate if my schedule does change. When caring for pets—whether in my home or in yours—I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining a routine that helps them feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, medication (if needed), playtime, and cuddles just as you request. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also pay attention to behavior and energy changes to ensure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. No matter the location, my priority is creating a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where your pets feel cared for and understood.
“Hailey did a great job of taking care of our cat! We were able to schedule house sitting for the week on short notice. Cat's food and water was full, and the litterboxes were clean. House was in a great condition as well. We received timely and consistent updates and photos. Cat was in a good mood upon our return. Would recommend Hailey to others.”

“Hailey took great care of our dog Mumford! He's a senior with some health issues, so we're always nervous about leaving him with someone new. She met with us before his stay, and even provided pick up and drop off to and from our home. I got pictures every day of him cuddling in her bed! He looked like he felt right at home! I'm sure he's looking forward to seeing her again soon; we've booked her to help with some daily walks. I feel very happy knowing that we can go out of town and have someone we trust to take care of him.”
“Annie was awsome, I had an emergency and needed a dog sitter in less that 24 hours. Annie responded to my e mail in approximately 20 minutes and took my Bella with very little notice. Thank you Annie you are the best.”
“Glenn was great! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times, as well as last minute scheduling changes. His responses were very fast and he also provided ample pictures of my little guy during his stay.”
“Mera was wonderful with our 5-mo-old puppy (Briar)! She was very responsive and accommodating during the initial meet-and-greet and booking process, and she sent frequent photos and videos of Briar playing with Mera's dogs throughout the day. She followed our care instructions and was happy to work with our schedule. Thanks, Mera!”
About: I have a Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from Michigan State University and previously work as a Receptionist for a Veterinary Hospital as I am familiar with companion animal health and nutrition, as well as first aid. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own that I enjoy staying active with through hiking and teaching her new tricks. I also own a horse and occasionally take care of the horses that are kept in the barn with him by feeding, turning in, blanketing, and cleaning stalls for them. I also enjoy cooking, writing, and lounging around watching Netflix. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats of many different breeds and personalities from Rottweilers to Shitzu's. From Persians to domestic shorthairs. I have experience with exotics that range from chameleons to rabbits as well. You name it, I’ve probably cared for it! I currently work remote Monday-Friday. Dog walking and pet care would be a great way to break up the mundane part of the week and allow me to get out more. Although I have an unfenced yard for my Australian Shepherd, all dogs will be kept on a leash for potty breaks. They will also get a walk on my lunch break and plenty of toys to play with. If in your home I am sure to spend time with them and make sure they are secure and receive very little disruption to their normal routine.

I do house some fully vetted rescue and resident kitties that are all friendly with my dog guests. I have cared for animals my whole life. While your dog is in my care I will also provide basic obedience and puppy training/socialization. I am well known in my local area rescue community and can provide numerous personal references. I attended a technical school and received a certificate in animal science. I recently attended a pet first aid class. **About my home/services** All Doggie Guests Must be Dog, People, and kid friendly. I host Doggie Daycare in my home daily and it’s very important all dogs are friendly with other dogs. Due to the fact that Cats do reside in my home I request an honest heads up for house guests that are not cat friendly so I can ensure a safe environment for my cats in advance, my cats have been socialized with small and large dogs and are very friendly and trusting of dogs. Cats are allowed to free roam with all dog guests during their stay unless advance plans are made. I am home all day. Your pet will not be left alone during daycare hours and never longer then a shopping / grocery trip while boarding. I have a securely fenced in yard that is very well maintained and also gates throughout the house to prevent accidental escaping when doors are opened.

About: I’ve always loved caring for pets and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and careful with feeding, walking, playtime, and routines. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get the care, affection, and attention they need. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m reliable, flexible, and able to plan my day around each pet’s needs. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets comfortable while their owner is away. I always focus on safety, comfort, and trust. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets in a clean and calm environment, and make sure they are supervised, secure, and cared for with patience and kindness.
About: From mushing dogs to house sitting for neighbors/friends while caring for their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, breeds, and ages. I have always had dogs of my own so pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. Walks, snacks, playtime, dinner together. My dogs are my family. Very pet friendly household. Fenced in back yard. Lots of treats and toys. Plenty of dog beds and couch space. Rooms to separate if need be. Extra food bowls, leashes, collars, harnesses, & more.
About: I don't have much experience with dog care. My family briefly had a dog or two when we lived in Trinidad and Tobago for about 2 years. And my oldest brother briefly lived with a Husky. I've been surrounded by cats most of my life since I was about 15 years old and now I'm 42 years old. I plan on being the sole pet caregiver in my household for your pet(s) and I will treat your pet or dog like an extended part of the family. Whatever rules you wish for me to follow with your pet or dog I will follow and respect them. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pet or dog with love and care. I'm currently a part-time home health aide or caregiver for my Autistic 14 year old son which takes place at our home. I have a family of 5 including three kids and I'm looking for a way to make extra income. We live with 4 cats who spend most of their time outdoors. We have a fenced up yard with plenty of room for your pet(s) to roam around in and play.
About: I've been professionally caring for pets for over four years through my home-based pet sitting business, Yech's Pet Haven. I am also a licensed boarding facility, giving pet parents added peace of mind that their dogs are staying in a safe and compliant environment. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines or medications. I have experience safely managing multiple dogs, supervising playtime, and making sure every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. Growing up surrounded by animals, including dogs, horses, and goats, has given me a lifelong understanding of animal behavior and care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Since I run a home-based boarding facility, I am able to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day. I keep my boarding numbers small so each pet receives personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. My schedule is built around making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. As a licensed boarding facility, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and responsible pet care. I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and separate pets during meals, rest time, or whenever needed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and individual preferences, so they feel right at home.

Overall I am here to love all of your fur babies ! I own 2 mini australian shepards, a german shepherd, and 3 cats! I’m always out and about with them! It’s their world, I’m just living in it!

About: Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! I myself have 2 cats and 1 dog. I currently reside with my mother in a 4 bedroom house. My mother owns 5 cats, 1 small dog, and a ferret. All are friendly. Keep in mind if youd want care in my home. :) As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins "My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. Detailed Check-ins: I will let you know when they nap, eat, and do their business
“The sweetest person I've met and my pup loves he so much couldn't ask for a better person to watch him when I wasn't able to. Very attentive when feeding and walking him at the times needed. Will definitely use her again when needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little and I even watched my puppy grow into a senior dog! I have owned 5 dogs in my entire life all different shape and size:) medium small big! I love them all:) I’m available any day, i absolutely love working with animals. When im not working I’m taking care of my fur babies and I love doing that. I’m very good with noticing body language with animals, and when they need food/water. I understand animals need time to get to trust someone! Some don’t but it’s okay lol:>

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life starting with a family pet grooming business. Beyond that I’ve cared for family and friends dogs as needed. My two most common pups I take care of are a golden doodle and cattle dog mix. I work from home full time, which means I can do early morning (done by 8:30 am), lunch time (approx 11-1) and evening visits (after 5:30 pm). On weekends I’m available more time slots. If you’re unsure if I can fit your needs just ask! I have experience doing feeding, potty breaks on a leash, as well as in fenced in yards. The more detail/instructions you provide on care needed the better I can provide that. I am and will continue to be respectful of your dog and your property. If you have any specific questions please let me know.
About: I have always enjoyed taking care of dogs. After recently adopting one, I am even more excited to take care of other dogs. Have experience with senior dogs and medication administration. Will ensure that your puppy has the best time! My schedule alternates based on the month, so I can time my pet care accordingly. I prefer having the pets over at my place but happy to sit at yours as well. I am usually never out of the house for more than 4 hours at a time. I have one medium sized lab mix who absolutely loves other dogs and provides lots of entertainment. I live in an apartment with quick access to two large dog parks so outside play time is guaranteed

Although I love all animals my current residence only allows cats.
“Toni is awesome. On our first meet you would tell how caring she was and patient. We have a senior dog who needs special care and right away we knew Toni was the perfect fit. Our old lady is very receptive to her and Toni has gone above and beyond to give her the time and attention she needs.”
About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I've housetrained three of my own [all of which are happily old man living around the country], enjoy long walks on the through parks and giving belly rubs that last eternity. I also, surprisingly enough, do not mind giving dogs their bathes in between grooming visits [if they get those pampering spa days to themselves, of course]. Brushing, playing fetch, and of course - tug of war reign supreme. But so does chilling on the couch watching the Puppy-Bowl or dog show with a fuzzy little space heater wedged between me and the arm of the couch. If I were to be reincarnated, I would definitely choose a dog. They just have the life. **I do work full time\ in Plains, PA from 6:30am - 3:30pm. I have to go home and rescue my senior dog from his crate for a bit of a stretch and dinner before I really do anything else Monday - Friday. But I am available on the weekend! I play Dungeons and Dragons on Friday and Saturday nights!** I work during the week, and I play dungeons and dragons on the weekends. But I am more than happy to do some drop-ins or walks during the day on Saturdays and Sundays to let you have more out and about time! Drop-in visits and walks rely on a good relationship between visitor (me) and the animal that is being walked or visited. They get easier over time, and everyone loves making new friends!

In 2023 I shadowed a Vet Doctor and Vet Tech at a clinic for two weeks, where I was able to witness and learn about various surgeries and basic health checkups. I assisted the team with care for both cats and dogs. I was Pet First Aid and CPR certified for 3 years. I am currently working a flexible schedule and have much time to dedicate to pet sitting and helping out some pet parents! I keep my calendar on my profile updated. I am very attentive to dogs needs. I will make sure your pet receives the attention and care that it requires. I am willing to crate the dog if needed. I will make sure they are active and have fun, while being safe. I can assure kindness and patience will be showed your pet. I can work in a variety of environments, and alongside other pets.
About: I have a Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from Michigan State University and previously work as a Receptionist for a Veterinary Hospital as I am familiar with companion animal health and nutrition, as well as first aid. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own that I enjoy staying active with through hiking and teaching her new tricks. I also own a horse and occasionally take care of the horses that are kept in the barn with him by feeding, turning in, blanketing, and cleaning stalls for them. I also enjoy cooking, writing, and lounging around watching Netflix. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats of many different breeds and personalities from Rottweilers to Shitzu's. From Persians to domestic shorthairs. I have experience with exotics that range from chameleons to rabbits as well. You name it, I’ve probably cared for it! I currently work remote Monday-Friday. Dog walking and pet care would be a great way to break up the mundane part of the week and allow me to get out more. Although I have an unfenced yard for my Australian Shepherd, all dogs will be kept on a leash for potty breaks. They will also get a walk on my lunch break and plenty of toys to play with. If in your home I am sure to spend time with them and make sure they are secure and receive very little disruption to their normal routine.

“Adriana was fantastic! Her home is a perfect setup. She has multiple spaces for the dogs inside and out. She is also a very good communicator. Sent lots of pictures and video every day! My dog Rocky was cared for like he was her own. Thank you!”
“We have been a long time customer of Cheyenne and she treats our cockapoo Sander like her own, it’s his second home and he really loves going there. I’ve always been at ease knowing he is under her care and never had to worry about leaving him. He’s an only child so he also benefits from the socialization- she is truly an amazing pup mom/sitter”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
“Anna is fabulous. My guy is a little stand offish with me people yet Anna won him over in no time at all. Provided cuddles, lots of play time and he even made some new friends. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“I cant say enough about Sairy. To see how much my dog loves her time there makes my Heart happy. She sends me videos and pictures keeping me engaged with her daily activities. She is forever Remy's keeper when I need her in the future. She luvs luvs luvs her Aunt Sairy. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Hailey was the perfect sitter remedy for an unexpected cancellation from a previous sitter of mine. She provided constant updates on his well-being, along with pictures and videos. Seeing as Cooper is a special needs dog, and that he had a good time, is a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody that asked, and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Bryan was great. He and his wife are very nice and they were very kind to our two Small Munsterlander dogs. Very accommodating and willing to do whatever is needed. We did a quick meet / greet at the park prior to the drop off date. While they were with Bryan, he sent pictures and videos, they had great play time in his fenced yard and enjoyed the socializing with his other dogs. They were worn out when we picked them up! They had a great time. I would definitely recommend Bryan and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Kaitlyn has taken care of Archie before, but never for this length of time (1 week). She is always so good with him and he loves going to see her. She is very flexible and accommodating to changes in schedule, etc. which is very helpful.”
“Right from the start, Kerri was so great to us. She came over to meet our dog beforehand and sent us messages with pictures while we were away. She really put us at ease, and we appreciate that so much. We recommend her 100%.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Jazzy he has such anxiety when I leave him somewhere but with the daily reports and pictures from Jennifer he did fantastic for the days that I left him in her care I would definitely hire her to take Jazzy in her home again”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and a lifesaver. She was able to take care of my Minks(cat) for several days after she was recently fixed. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Minks was perfectly comfortable in her home and she took excellent care of her.”
