Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rockledge
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rockledge
“My dog was very reluctant to leave and that's how you know a caretaker has done a great job. Gabriela and her husband both are genuinely nice people who love dogs. What more could you hope for in a caretaker?”
“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”
“Jayla too great care of my Gizmo. This was my first experience using Rover and I booked Jayla last minute for a overnight stay for my 14 yr old Shih tzu and she immediately accepted the request and took great care of my senior dog while I was away . I was comfortable and felt at ease while I was away. Jayla also sent me a photo update and quickly responded when I messaged her to ask how my dog was doing . I hope to book Jayla for future stays.”
“We were incredibly lucky to find a friendly and responsible dog sitter who frequently sent me messages, photos, and videos to keep me updated on how our dog was doing. He had a wonderful time at her home; not only did he find a caring sitter, but he also got to play with canine companions from morning till night every day. Whenever he got tired, he would simply go right to sleep—eating well and sleeping soundly—making for a truly delightful spring break! A huge thank you to Jia for all the love and care!”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Kerry is absolutely amazing. My pup loved spending time with her - either cuddling on the couch or lounging in the back porch with her. We greatly appreciated her constant communication and the care taken while our pup was in her care.”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Todd did a wonderful job with Cooper! We so appreciated his availability for a last minute family emergency. Todd took Cooper for some nice long walks and he came back happy and tired, which is great for a lab! I recommend Todd and will definitely use his services again.”
“Once again Willie the tiny dog has had a successful stay with Jenn and her family and animals. Jenn also went above and beyond for me around pickup for which I am very grateful.”
“Yuiko was fabulous! Our dog needed some extra care and Yuiko was on top of it. She sent pictures and updates frequently, giving me peace of mind! I would absolutely book her again!”
“My dog Pinto can be challenging and this has kept me from getting weekends away where I cannot bring her. Despite Pinto's difficulty with other pets and being tough to walk, Maryori did an amazing job. She stayed in touch all weekend and sent beautiful pictures of her and Pinto out and about so that I felt reassured and able to enjoy my time away!”
“Snoopy had a wonderful time on his vacay with Janet! Janet spoiled him with plenty of walks during the day, lots of playtime and extra love! We knew he was having fun because Janet sent us pictures of him playing, having fun and even getting in a good afternoon nap which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation too. He can't wait for us to go on vacation again!”
“Our dog Dixie had a great time staying with Roseanna! Dixie had never stayed with anyone other than family before and Roseanna immediately made her comfortable. Roseanna sent pictures and updates while we were away so we were confident Dixie was happy and well cared for!”
“Mary was an incredible sitter. She shared daily updates, photos and videos so I was assured that my dog, Lyle, was not only being cared for, but being spoiled! Lyle got multiple daily walks, special treats, toys, and ample snuggles. I cannot recommend Mary and her husband enough! Can’t wait to rebook with them next time we need care for our sweet boy!”
“We had a great experience. Iggy, was very welcomed by the other dogs. Joseph did take pictures and some videos of Iggy. Very happy for his care. I can count on Joseph again the next time.”
“Lyly was very helpful and kind! I only needed her for a couple of hours and she was able to accommodate my last minute request to cat sit. She also offered to have my cat delivered back home to me which would have been super convenient. Definitely recommend!”
“Hoda was wonderful with our Akita. They were comfortable with each other from the start. Hoda was highly accommodating to our schedule. We are so happy to have found her. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Marilyn was absolutely amazing. Very kind and caring, sent photos and always responded to any text messages. She took great care of our cat. We chose Marilyn because she is a retired nurse and our cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. We would definitely use her again and refer her to her others in need of pet care. Thanks Marilyn!”
“We would have Jaclyn pet sit our cats any time. She is professional, courteous and responds quickly thru messages. We have 4 cats so that can be overwhelming but she made easy work of it all. Thank you again!”
“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“Keri did an excellent job making sure our cats were happy while we were away! She is kind, thorough, and very communicative, as well as great with animals. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Courtney sent daily updates and did her best to find my cat for a photo (not an easy feat!). I appreciated her cleaning up before I got home to help me cut down on the cleaning post travel.”
About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
“Вот перевод в дружелюбной форме для отзыва на английском: --- I’m so glad I reached out to her for help. She communicated with me every step of the way, showed real care and passion for what she does, and paid attention to the little things I didn’t even think to mention. I honestly couldn’t imagine better service. Not only did she keep my cat great company — which I’m so thankful for — but she even noticed how I take care of the trash and did the same, rinsing out the cat food cans before tossing them. I never asked for that, and it really touched me to see such thoughtfulness. I highly recommend her. If I ever need help again, I won’t even look around — I’ll go straight to Jennifer.”

“Rosabella was great with Loki. She definitely became his friend. She was consistent in her visits time and very thorough. She spent a lot of time giving him attention and love. I highly recommend her!”
“Hardy did a great job looking after my kitties after my usual sitter was traveling. He showed up on time and was great at communicating. I got daily updates on my kitties and everyone was happy and healthy when I returned. Happy to have Hardy housesit again, I had complete peace of mind!”
“Jillian was great! She made sure our 2 kitties were well taken care of! Our kitties were given lots of love and played with everyday! Very easy communication and she took great pics of the cats!”
“Julie was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She sent updates with every visit and made it a point to spend some time with him making sure he was comfortable with a new person in his space. Highly recommend”

About: I provide dog walking and pet sitting services based in Jenkintown and surrounding areas. I have years of pet care experience and aim to provide professional, reliable, and flexible pet care with a focus on safety and compassion. Currently, I am only available for walks and visits on weekends and weeknights between 7-10pm. Would also love to provide care for your cats while you're our of town! I always do a meet and greet before starting services so keep that in mind, I cannot accommodate last minute requests. Growing up in rural Southern Maryland, Lauren has had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to ducks, lizards, and rabbits. Living in the Greater Philadelphia area in the past 17 years, they have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and have been walking and sitting professionally for years, and is no stranger to the urban and suburban environment. Lauren enjoys working with all breeds and personality of pups, large and small, old or young. Pet care used to be my full time job, but now I am only available for nights and weekends with advance notice. If house sitting is needed I will only be available to accommodate early morning (before 7am) and evening walks, in addition to overnight care. The type of visit and your dog's needs will determine what happens during the visit or walk, but overall I aim for fun, exercise, and connection with your pet, with a focus on safety and compassion. A walk typically moves quickly outside after leashing up to enjoy our stroll and to potty. After the walk I'll make sure they have water or any food and treats they might require. Hopefully we have time for some belly scritches and tug too.
“Christina was amazing! We’d hire her again or recommend to anyone. She was very diligent and thoughtful in her updates after each visit which was much appreciated. She also came by before we left town to meet the cats and do a walk-thru of their routine. Overall great experience while we were away!”
“I originally met Haley for a July trip and actually needed her last minute the next day in June. She was communicative, friendly, and great with my pets. I have more then cats and dogs and she was great with my ferrets and rabbits. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Ally watched our kitty for us when my husband and I went on a longer vacation and she was so kind and Raja (our cat) loved her! Which is saying something because he normally HATES new people and is very anxious. But he adjusted very quickly and warmed up to her. She’s very sweet and communicates very well and we will most definitely be rebooking with her at some point!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rockledge
“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”
“Xinhao was amazing. He fit us in last minute while we were traveling. Super responsive with messaging and I loved how he sent us picture updates during the day. If we are ever traveling through the Philly area again we will deff use him.”
“Excellent sitter. Responsive and communicates well. Large backyard. Clean and safe house. Has a super sweet dog that played well with my dogs. Would book again without a second thought.”
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
“Mary sent many photos and updates during my dog’s daycare stay with her. It looks like he had a great time with nice little adventures! I would book Mary as a sitter again, easy!”
About: Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home. Our dog passed away and we are currently dog less. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications. In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.
“Veronica took great care of our puppy Bonnie! She was very thoughtful of how she introduced Bonnie to her dogs to make sure they’d get along great. Veronica was so flexible when we needed to pick up Bonnie later than expected, which was so appreciated!”
“We are repeat clients with Douglas. Our gal Pebbles gets so excited when we pull up to his house, she has a great time there, which you can see in her smile in the pictures he sends. Always feel at ease knowing she's in good hands.”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”
“We had a last minute booking with Joseph for a funeral that was out of town for us. From the beginning, Joseph was super accommodating and sent videos and pictures throughout his whole stay. Onyx had the time of his life. He was sleep within 5 minutes of us driving home. We will ABSOLUTELY book again with Joseph next time we’re in Philly.”
“Roseanne’s home was calm and peaceful - exactly what my little old man needed. She and her boys gave him lots of snuggles and hugs, but best of all - he got his first ever time swimming in the pool - he loved it!! (And I loved the video). What a wonderful day he had.”
“Yuiko is a terrific pet sitter! She gave me Milo’s update very often. This was so helpful for me have peaceful mind as this was my first experience with Yuiko.”
“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”
“Lyly was totally cool with me leaving storm with her all day, I’m a current student and I also work , on my first visit I forgot my leash and she gave me a better one .Lylys service is such a good help I encourage you to book.”
About: Hi! I grew up with cats and dogs, and had small animals during college (much to my dorm RA's chagrin LOL) - a hamster, gerbil, snake, and a rat. Currently my daughter and I have four wonderful cats, including an orange female that keeps us on our toes 😁, and a Betta fish. With friends and family, I am surrounded by dogs - from Chihuahua to Greyhound - and I love them all! I often pet sit and walk a variety of pawsome pups 🐾 ❤️. I'm comfortable with any type of pet (feline, canine, reptile, bird, small mammals, etc.) and would be honored to care for yours. Let's face it, pets can be better than people, and they deserve to be treated with the unconditional love they show us!! 😊 I am self-employed, and have ultimate flexibility to care for your pets on your schedule, day or night! I am available for one-off arrangements, when you are traveling, or on-going regular care. I'm especially happy to spend as much time as needed with your fur babies, to ensure they are well-loved and enriched while you are away! In my own home, I can care for caged animals, such as small mammals, reptiles, birds, or fish. They would be kept in a closed room that is off limits to our cats. For your cats and dogs, I happy to come to your home and spend as much time as needed feeding, cleaning, playing, walking, etc. In addition, if the fit is right, I am happy to welcome your dog into my home during the day for doggie daycare.
“John D. helped us last minute and it was perfect. He seemed to really care for our August. He sent pictures and updates and communicated well. Auggy seemed to really enjoy the day he had. Will definitely book again!”

“Brian is great with our 2 beagles, although Callie is still warming up to him, it’s nice to see how he gets her to trust him more and more each visit. He’s patient and waits for her to come to him and he is always pleasant and talks and treats the dogs gently.”
“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”
“Courtney is a great dog “person”! She met with me and my new puppy to get to know her to make sure it would be a good fit, and was very good with her and with flexibility on what options I needed for walking and feeding! She is also a great “people person”! She sent me photos and updates every day so I could keep track of what was going on while I was at work. Courtney’s the best and all two legged and four legged creatures are lucky to have her!! 😊”
“Milissa was great! she was pleasant and friendly. Good line of communication and followed instructions as we discussed. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11, and that's when I also started working on a ranch. Until about 2019 I took care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Animals are a very important part of my life and I'm very good at taking care of them. Taking care of pets is a full-time job, but it's one that I've enjoyed my entire life. I take care of animals in some way everyday and everywhere I've gone. Everything in my house is pet proof and I have hardwood floors just in case there are any accidents. There are gated off and inaccessible areas that the cats can get into but the dogs can't. Everybody has a space. I also have a fenced in yard for them to explore. I live in a very nice neighborhood as well, so it's a safe area to walk the dogs.
“What would I ever do without Marilyn’s commitment and dedication to my beloved pet. If you find a Rover Champion make sure to appreciate them. Thanks Rover for finding this gem.”
“Our pup Emmy greatly enjoys her walks with Jillian! She is great with our rescue and very responsive in communication. Also gives helpful updates on how Emmy did. Will definitely book again!”
“Keri was so wonderful with our dog, Scout. She had great communication and provided us with so many photos so we could be comfortable Scout was in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”
About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I've cared for animals most of my life and have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs gave me a strong foundation in feeding, exercise, grooming, and basic care. I also worked on a farm for about three years, caring for a variety of animals and developing strong handling skills and attention to their needs. Additionally, I nannied for families with dogs, assisting with walking, feeding, playtime, and daily care, and provided house-sitting services that included ensuring dogs remained safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners were away. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and am committed to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. As a college student on summer break working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins into my day. Because my work schedule is limited, I am often available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent care that fits both your pet’s needs and your schedule. I provide care for pets exclusively in their own home, where they are most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. Whether I’m taking your pet for walks, bringing them to the park, transporting them to appointments, or caring for them while you’re away, their safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules, and I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Alyssa is amazing with my boy “Gunner” and she’s great with communication and time schedule. I’m new to the app and was very nervous to use it but I was in need of someone for my dog. She was able to meet up and introduce herself to myself and my dog, prior to using her services and she really made us feel comfortable about it all. I will definitely use her services again!”

I live in a spacious home with my mom, featuring a large fenced yard for pets to play safely. My friendly but shy miniature Dachshund enjoys company once he warms up.

“My dog was very reluctant to leave and that's how you know a caretaker has done a great job. Gabriela and her husband both are genuinely nice people who love dogs. What more could you hope for in a caretaker?”
“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”
“Jayla too great care of my Gizmo. This was my first experience using Rover and I booked Jayla last minute for a overnight stay for my 14 yr old Shih tzu and she immediately accepted the request and took great care of my senior dog while I was away . I was comfortable and felt at ease while I was away. Jayla also sent me a photo update and quickly responded when I messaged her to ask how my dog was doing . I hope to book Jayla for future stays.”
“We were incredibly lucky to find a friendly and responsible dog sitter who frequently sent me messages, photos, and videos to keep me updated on how our dog was doing. He had a wonderful time at her home; not only did he find a caring sitter, but he also got to play with canine companions from morning till night every day. Whenever he got tired, he would simply go right to sleep—eating well and sleeping soundly—making for a truly delightful spring break! A huge thank you to Jia for all the love and care!”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Kerry is absolutely amazing. My pup loved spending time with her - either cuddling on the couch or lounging in the back porch with her. We greatly appreciated her constant communication and the care taken while our pup was in her care.”
“Todd did a wonderful job with Cooper! We so appreciated his availability for a last minute family emergency. Todd took Cooper for some nice long walks and he came back happy and tired, which is great for a lab! I recommend Todd and will definitely use his services again.”
“We had a great experience. Iggy, was very welcomed by the other dogs. Joseph did take pictures and some videos of Iggy. Very happy for his care. I can count on Joseph again the next time.”
“Lyly was very helpful and kind! I only needed her for a couple of hours and she was able to accommodate my last minute request to cat sit. She also offered to have my cat delivered back home to me which would have been super convenient. Definitely recommend!”
“Hoda was wonderful with our Akita. They were comfortable with each other from the start. Hoda was highly accommodating to our schedule. We are so happy to have found her. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“My first time leaving Maui with anyone but family, and my longest trip away from him! Every worry I had about that was put at ease right away. Jacob took great care of him and I couldn’t be happier.”
“Ceara was awesome with Hercules! I could tell he was very happy and had a great time during his stay. It’s hard for me to leave him with anyone ever since he’s been diagnosed with epilepsy, but I found myself not worrying too much about him while I was away. Ceara provided daily updates and sent pictures everyday during his stay with her. I highly recommend Ceara to take care of your pups!”
“Cindy took exceptional care of our fur baby! She was happy and eating normally from day 1. Cindy provided many pictures and videos to keep us happy and we could tell Beda was having a great vacation of her own! We highly recommend Cindy!”
“Katherine was AMAZING! I had a relatively last-minute boarding request (and am already a bit nervous about boarding my girl Millie), but Katherine responded quickly and we scheduled a quick meet and greet within a couple of days. And she was the absolute best! She kept me updated with lots of pictures and was incredibly responsive during my entire trip. I could not possibly recommend her more highly.”
“Hardy was an exceptional caretaker for our boy, Teddy P. This was my first time leaving him while going on vacation. I received pictures and videos daily. I am astounded that he blended so well with other dogs. When I picked him up he wasn’t anxious. He’s relaxed and happy. He will definitely return soon. Thank you, Hardy for your expertise, kindness and care. Welcome to the family! ♥️”
“iris was great. It was our first time using Rover and was a great first experience for us. Brisket came back happy and based on the pictures we were sent look like he had so much fun. Thank you again!”
“KC absolutely loved her time with Lizzy! She really enjoyed the yard and her go to spot, the couch. KC felt right at home with Lizzy! We got plenty of updates during her stay and will 100% comfortable leaving her here in the future!”
