“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.”
“I can confidently give Coralee my utmost recommendation as an outstanding caretaker. Coralee and her family were absolutely incredible throughout the boarding process. They took our dog, Duke, in over the holidays as another member of their family. Coralee was responsive and sent updates which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing Duke was happy. We will absolutely be booking with Coralee in the future, and I will be recommending her to our friends and family!”

“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Breanna was so wonderful watching my pup, Kira, for the weekend! They went on walks, met other dog friends, and got doggy ice cream. She was thorough about asking if Kira had allergies and how she reacted to other dogs beforehand, which was much appreciated! I will absolutely go with Breanna again next time Kira needs to be watched over a weekend!”
“Krista and her dog, Griffin, were the perfect hosts for my two Malt-Shih 2 y.o. pups. As with any siblings they have very different personalities, one outgoing but the other, very anxious. Krista, with her calm demeanor, won him over in no time, assisted by Griffin (a large dog whose size would normally trigger fear) mirrored his owner's gentle personality. I will definitely request Krista and Griffin in the future.”
“I wish 10 stars was an option.....Tia and her family were amazing with Georgia and Sammi. I highly highly recommend them to anyone else needing boarding. She took extra steps to make sure our dogs were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of the whole time. The entire Dramble family was great! Thank you Tia!! We will be back :)”
“Freya had a great time staying with Ellyn and her family! She felt right at home, and loved running around in the yard and Frick Park. Ellyn was very responsive and helpful when our flight was delayed, and Freya had to stay a bit longer than planned. Thank you!”
“Victoria was wonderful! We had a meet and greet before our trip it really helped me feel good about being able to leave my dog. Victoria sent videos twice a day it was great. Thank you Victoria!”

“Justin was just fabulous with my corgi terrier mix Monty! He is communicative and conscientious and just a super nice person. He sent wonderful pics and informative and helpful updates. I felt completely comfortable leaving Monty with Justin and cannot recommend him highly enough. Five stars!”
“Jessica is amazing! From the second we met with Jessica we knew Bella was going to be so happy. Bella played with the other dogs like they were best friends. Jessica has a wonderful environment for dog sitting. I was so stressed out about leaving Bella for over a week, but after the first visit, I knew this was where Bella needed to be. Thank you Jessica P. for making my vacation a worry free one!”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
“Denise is awesome! She is kind, communicative, and thoughtful, and provides a friendly and healthy environment for pups. Was great about sending updates and photos daily so I got to see how happy my dog was in her care. We’d love to book with Denise again.”

“Tiffany is awesome! She did drop-in visits with our cat Marshall while my husband and I went out of town for a trip. He warmed up to her right away. She is very communicative and super quick to respond. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be re-booking in the future!”
“Sari took such great care of my two cats while I was away! She was very communicative and I was not worried at all knowing my kitties were in great hands. Highly recommend Sari and I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Regan was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease while I traveled for a conference. I have a sick cat, and she was not only understanding, but also communicative and flexible in taking care of him. She also sent tons of photos. I would have her help again in a heartbeat!”
“Cloey is awesome! She took great care of my cats and followed all of my detailed instructions. She provided pictures of the cats and a good summary on what was going on while I was out!”
“Meghan did a great job. She was outstanding at communicating. She sent pictures and comments daily. Sometimes twice daily. I could not have had a better person taking care of my four black cats. It was particularly important since one of them, Lena a 16-year-old had recently gone blind. It was critical that she receive her medications to help her have any chance to recover her vision. Megan’s daily reports and pictures of Lena clearly showed the progress as Lena had started to regain her vision. I would gladly use Meghan again.”
“Yasmeen is adaptable and considerate when unexpected issues pop up. It's hard to leave your furry friend behind, but knowing they're in such good hands makes it a little easier. I cannot thank her enough for the care she shows for my scaredy cat.”
“Cam took such excellent care of my kitties! Great, thorough, timely, and hilarious updates. My cats were so chill when I got home, I seriously think they were like, wait a minute, where’s Cam, what are you doing here?? Gilly has a new best friend, and even Petunia, my cat with a shall we say ‘difficult’ personality, was warming up. I’d hire Cam again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've stopped in and taken care of several cats over the years - refilled food and water, emptied their litter box, played with their toys, supplied ample scritches. I love cats and their silly personalities, and though I don't personally have a feline friend, many of my friends and family members do, so I'm very comfortable with their mannerisms and needs for care.
“Ashley did a great job taking care of my cat! I really appreciated the thorough summaries of what they did and the multiple pictures. She also cleaned up some puke without me asking, which I very much appreciated!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and don’t want to imagine a day without a fuzzy creature around! I am responsible, loving, and nurturing to animals I stay mostly around the area I live, so am available to be around when your pet needs it. I will make sure they have adequate attention and care! I have a yard (not fenced) and live in a very nice walking neighborhood close to plenty of parks and beautiful sights that animals can enjoy
“Any took great care of our three little kitties. She sent photos every day, and I could tell that the cats really loved her. We recommend Amy, and we will call on her again!”
“Great experience having Heather watching my cats. She provided great reports and photos of her visits. Responded quickly and communicated well. Definitely recommend her as a cat sitter.”
“Erin’s house is paradise for cats! I was so impressed with all the amenities she has for pets despite not currently having any of her own in the home. My cat was comfortable with her and her boyfriend Paul right away, and she sent lots of photos. As a former coworker of Erin’s, I know she is responsible, communicative, and fun. I would absolutely use her for pet sitting again.”
“Anne was great! She took care of my spicy boy and his shy brother. Was able to give medications with no problems. She was very understanding of their needs and communicated very well!”
About: I’ve owned cats on and off my whole life. I really appreciate their personalities and quirks. As an adult, I’ve cat sat for pets with varying medical needs, including topical and oral meds. I’m available for meet ups before formal sitting to help build trust. I simply require 1 day’s notice for anything 9-5 to coordinate transport. 😊
“Clytie was amazing with my cat Khalesi. Especially the regular updates with pictures was the best part of her cat sitting. Recommend her 100% to any cat and dog owners. She will treat your pet like her own! -M. Haris”

“Adrienne is amazing! She sent us frequently updates on how Yogi was doing. Yogi got his walks, ate his food and had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to bring him back!”
“Valerie was terrific! She treated our little Hattie like her own and provided routine updates with pictures. We've already scheduled our next Doggy Day Care!”
“Lucas, his dog Luna, and their whole family are wonderful! This was Walter’s first Rover experience and he had an amazing time! His seven month old self has never been so tired!!”
“Justin takes amazing care of Finn, and Finn gets along so well with Justin's corgi, Watson. We also get tons of great updates about how Finn's day is going, and it's clear he always has a great time. Thanks again!”
“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”
“Christy made our trip to Pittsburgh to see a ball game super easy and stress free. Met us at the door for pick up and drop off and sent happy pictures along the way. Our puppy had a great time playing and chilling out. Great experience.”
“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued Labrador early prior to the covid year. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I relocated to Pittsburgh from Boston for my medical training this year. I thrive on a schedule and can work if we plan the days well in advance together. I will be open to taking care of your pet as needed and happy to coordinate a schedule for walks/boarding at my house with you. My partner and I are trustworthy, active, and organized, and we genuinely care about making your dog feel safe and loved while you're away from home. 🐾 I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.
“Nova had a great time at doggy daycare with Matthew and his two pups! We loved getting updates and pictures throughout the day, and how easy it is to communicate with Matthew. Our dog is usually nervous in new settings but she didn't even look back and settled in right away when we dropped her off. Thanks for making her feel at home!”
“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they have always been cherished and treated as members of my family. Also have experience looking after my neighbors’ pets while they have been away. I just love dogs so much so it’s not even a chore for me! I work from home 5 days a week, so my schedule is very flexible for afternoon walks or drop ins! Weekend afternoons are also usually good. At my parents home we would always have a fenced in yard and usually keep the dogs on a leash of some sort outside (we have a long one for the yard so they can still run around) For younger dogs we always crate when we’re not around until they are trained!
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.
About: I brought our two cats, Chili and Lok-Lok, all the way from China, but I grew up with dogs in my family and love both. I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends’ dogs and I heard about this app so I thought it might be fun to give it a try. Whenever I get called on to dog-sit for my friend here in Pittsburgh I like to go to the dog parks near the South Side river or jog along with them, rain or snow, and socialize with other dogs. Looking forward to meeting yours! I’m a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh so summer and winter breaks are relatively free, and usually I’m only “working” 2-3 half days per week. I have to do a lot of reading and thinking so getting out of the house is a good way to take a break and process. I have a fenced yard where I do some gardening and let our cats out every day to chase bugs and birds. My friends have stayed over with their dogs and I just move the cats to the second floor and keep them there while the dogs take the first and the yard.
About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer — one of the highest-energy breeds out there — so if your dog goes a mile a minute, I'm more than ready for it!! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.
“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”

About: I've been a pet owner since I was two years old and played a major role in taking care of my family dogs and guinea pig! I've had my own dog, a cattle dog mix, for the last 5+ years. I've educated myself on training techniques and skills for stimulating dogs physically and mentally in order to keep up with her! I have experience looking after friends' and families' cats and dogs, and I'm a self-appointed playground monitor at my local dog park. I'm excited to meet your furry family member and give them some love and care while you're away. I'm currently applying for engineering / academic jobs after earning my degree, so other than caring for my own dog, my days are wide open. I have a fenced-in backyard and a playful dog who is great with dogs of all sizes. I've got food puzzles, Bully Make and Benebone chew toys, and a ChuckIt tennis ball thrower. My dog is crate-trained so I'm happy to follow your lead on your pets' needs.
“Thanks so much for walking Turtle! Even in cold weather, Tiffany made sure Turtle got his exercise and bathroom break! Very grateful and will reach out again!”
“Ava was great with my pup! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took her on a nice walk. I really appreciated the prompt photo updates and communication throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Ava again and would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”
“Great communication, punctual, sweet with my dog, productive walks (poop & pee everytime!) and provides good updates ! And helps with last minute bookings when she can. Big fan of Abigayle!”
“David was excellent. He walked Wilson every morning for a week and has great communication and timelines. I was not personally there, but I heard that Wilson was incredibly excited to hit the woods with David every morning. David also provided detailed accounts of their walks and included pictures which was much appreciated. I highly recommend David!!”
“Absolutely awesome with my dog Bodhi! Highly recommend you trust Therese with your best buddy. Outstanding communicator, trustworthy , dependable and reliable. My dog LOVES it when she comes to play! 🐾”

About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve.

“Sid has been walking our 100 lbs. Doberman for a couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. We were hesitant at first for someone to access our home while we were at work, but Sid very quickly made us feel comfortable. Sid has always been punctual, professional, great with our dobie and overall exceeded our expectations; highly recommend booking.”
About: I have grown up caring big and small dogs of neighbors, friends, and family and will always let your dog take the lead when getting to know me. I am a very active person and love being able to give your furry friends their exercise with long walks, playing outside, or even runs! I will diligently follow any instructions/guidelines you set for me and will be sure to send thorough feedback and pictures for each visit. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule varies a bit throughout the week. I will always be communicative about times I’m available to ensure your pets receive the best care.

Important aspects of care, like diet, medication, and more will be followed accurately to ensure the health and safety of your pet.
“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”
About: Hi! I’m currently focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m not offering boarding at the moment. I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I started taking care of pets for family friends about five years ago when I was living in Boston, and since then I’ve gained experience with dogs at different stages of their lives. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while staying with me. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their dog is in good hands, so I always do my best to provide attentive and thoughtful care. I usually work best with calm dogs who are comfortable relaxing on their own. For boarding, dogs should be able to stay home alone for a few hours and should not have severe separation anxiety. I’m more experienced with smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) and enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel at home. I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Please feel free to reach out and tell me more about your pup — I’d love to meet them! I currently work 30 hours per week. I’m an early person so I’m happy to take pets to early walks! I am happy to walk your dog 3 times a day. Please chat with me! To ensure I can continue providing the highest standard of care to my clients, I have made the decision to limit my service to take care of one dog at a time I make sure I understand the needs from pet parents. Initially, I would ask pet parent to answer a list of questions I found helpful to know. For example, what’s the daily walking/sleeping/exercise/wasting routine. I will also take pictures/videos through out the day, and send them daily to keep parents updated through the boarding period.
About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.
“Amy is just *wonderful.*! Prompt, kind, knowledgeable, and great with my Millie. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is walking and checking in on my dog when I am away and my partner is working long hours. Really grateful.”
About: I cared for my family’s dog for the better part of ten years. I have walked and cared for many families' and friends' dogs and am especially adept at handling high-energy pups. I can provide vigorous walks, if needed, or more relaxed jaunts for older dogs. I am very attuned to dogs' needs and will provide prompt and frequent bathroom breaks, play breaks, or training sessions, as requested and/or needed. I work part time and have flexible hours, so I can be available to take care of your pets at most times of the day if you book far enough in advance. I can pet-sit every night of the week. I am careful to provide a level of care that is curated to the individual needs of each pet. Every pet has different needs and preferences, and it is essential to build trust with a pet to ensure their well-being and safety. I am extremely patient with pets and capable of gently handling pets of all energy levels, sizes, and dispositions.
“We did recurring, multiple times per week, walks with Zoe for a months-long period. She was very communicative, responding promptly to messages when we had changes in our schedule. She wrote detailed, thoughtful descriptions of the walks and always let us know if she brought in a package, refilled our dog's water bowl, gave him a treat, or other similar updates. We would absolutely recommend Zoe!”

We will absolutely be booking with Coralee in the future, and I will be recommending her to our friends and family!”
“Adrienne does an amazing job with Finn! She kept us updated with the absolute cutest pictures and videos of him playing with Phoebe and snuggling on their couch. When we got home, he was so snoozy after having a great few days playing with his buddies. Thanks again for taking great care of our little guy.”
“Breanna was so wonderful watching my pup, Kira, for the weekend! They went on walks, met other dog friends, and got doggy ice cream. She was thorough about asking if Kira had allergies and how she reacted to other dogs beforehand, which was much appreciated! I will absolutely go with Breanna again next time Kira needs to be watched over a weekend!”
“Krista and her dog, Griffin, were the perfect hosts for my two Malt-Shih 2 y.o. pups. As with any siblings they have very different personalities, one outgoing but the other, very anxious. Krista, with her calm demeanor, won him over in no time, assisted by Griffin (a large dog whose size would normally trigger fear) mirrored his owner's gentle personality. I will definitely request Krista and Griffin in the future.”
“Freya had a great time staying with Ellyn and her family! She felt right at home, and loved running around in the yard and Frick Park. Ellyn was very responsive and helpful when our flight was delayed, and Freya had to stay a bit longer than planned. Thank you!”
“Victoria was wonderful! We had a meet and greet before our trip it really helped me feel good about being able to leave my dog. Victoria sent videos twice a day it was great. Thank you Victoria!”
“Our boys loved staying with Brad! We got pictures every day and updates frequently and Brad was very easy to get in touch with! They had such a good time, we will absolutely be sending them back in the future!”
“Justin was just fabulous with my corgi terrier mix Monty! He is communicative and conscientious and just a super nice person. He sent wonderful pics and informative and helpful updates. I felt completely comfortable leaving Monty with Justin and cannot recommend him highly enough. Five stars!”
“Tyler was great with my dog Riley! She immediately took to his house and yard, as well as Tyler himself. He was flexible in terms of scheduling a meet-and-greet that was kinda last minute and was professional. He also provided plenty of photo updates of Riley throughout the stay. Overall, I would definitely use Tyler again for dog sitting.”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Coco is so happy to have friends at Amy's . Amy is such a great sitter. We never worry about her and she is always good when we pick her up. I highly recommend Amy for a safe, reliable sitter.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've cared for and babysat pets for friends, family, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable, compassionate care. My experience includes caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, as well as independent cats and affectionate lap cats alike. I understand that some pets warm up quickly while others need time to build trust, and I always let them set the pace. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you're away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in reliable hands. I work full time out of the home, but can be available to board animals overnight on weekdays for (1) night with a pick up by 7:30 AM the following day and can board or house-visit over the weekend (Drop off Friday after 4PM thru Sundays-pick up by 5 pm Sunday). I can do house visits any week day after 4 PM. I have a fenced in backyard and a very walkable, safe neighborhood. My home is a pet's paradise with lots of comfy couches and plenty of space to run and play, and windows for clocking in for Neighborhood Watch :) I don't mind animals sleeping with me, if they want to! Otherwise, plenty of places for furry ones to nap and snooze whenever they choose.
“Nelia and family once again were the best. Cashmere had a complex feeding and medication regimen to handle. I was out of the country and felt so relieved she was being cared for and loved.”
“Patrick and Emily were fabulous! Zeke loved it there. They provided pics and updates and took very good care of our puppy while we were away! Highly recommended”
“Adam did a great job caring for my dog. He provided them with a lot of exercise, followed special instructions exactly, and also sent frequent updates and photos.”
