“Ashley was exceptionally kind and attentive to my dog, my VAL felt at home, no stress and actually missed Ashley after leaving which says allot. I highly recommend her. There’s not enough stars above that represents my rating, 🙏.”
“Just a wonderful, conscientious, and caring family. They’re so loving and so communicative. We felt like our little guy was in such great hands and we really hope to engage with them in the future.”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Maria and family took incredible care of my young puppy while I was away for several days. They have a lovely home with fenced yard, and are clearly very loving and attentive. I enjoyed all the updates and pictures. Thank you!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Jessica! She sent pictures and videos while he was there so it was nice to see how he was doing while away. We also loved how there were other dogs around so there were plenty of fur friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!”
“Tucker was well adjusted when he got home, which is a good sign he was comfortable being away for us for 5 days. He also did better with dropping the ball after fetch so I think Jordan's training skills rubbed off on him too. :)”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Andrew and Karen took great care of our little lady. She seemed to have a great time with their dog, Finn, and got lots of love and attention. We also appreciated their prompt replies and pictures.”
“Becca was a joy to work with, and took excellent care of my sweet boy Gunner. He had an awesome time with her pets and kids. I think he barely realized we were gone for a week! Thanks Becca ?”
“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”
“Beatriz and her family are wonderful people who truly care about your pets. I was nervous about leaving my two yorkies who have some health issues and require twice daily medications. She took them on without a second thought. She sent me pictures and updates to help me feel at ease. When I came to get them, my dogs were relaxed/very comfortable there. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“I’d been searching for a sitter after moving back to the area and the search is over! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my Barry was having a great time with Carol and her pups and getting all the cuddles. Carol sent updates and cute pictures of him getting plenty of love. We look forward to having a reliable person who makes it easy to enjoy my time away!”
“My dog has separation anxiety and I was nervous about leaving her with someone who was not my family member. Sharon was amazing! My dog seemed comfortable, she sent frequent updates, and when I came to pick up my dog she seemed at ease and to be having a great time. I will definitely use Sharon in the future and recommend her!”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“Once again, Natasha and fam provided a safe, loving space for our Rottweiler Cricket. Natasha was proactive in her communication for drop off and pickup - which is always a breeze, and reached out to give updates on how Cricket was doing. Natasha is always very kind and understanding with us and Cricket, which goes a long way when juggling hectic, complex schedules and needs. We notice that Natasha gives the same care and attention to all the dogs in her care. It helps us feel reassured to know that Cricket will get everything she needs and all the love whenever she stays with Natasha and her family.”
“For my first time using Rover, I was very pleased with Augusta. She is very nice, calm and patient. I appreciated her good communication which gave me peace knowing my fur baby was in good hands.”
“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“Victoria was very accommodating went out of her way to make my beagle Hunter feel like one of the family. Sadly to the extent that he didn't want to come home :( She sent me pictures during his stay and when hunter chewed and tore his blanket she patched it back up for him. you could tell he enjoyed staying there and She gave me advise for him. I definitely will be having her sit my Hunter in the future. I recommend her highly..”
“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.”

Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.
“Becky was wonderful! Our kitties were very happy to see her each day and she communicated reports to us quickly. She was also so kind to bring our mail in while we were away. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.

I loved to grow trust and love with these animals. As well as finding furever homes!
“Jessica was great! She responded to every message very quickly and always kept me up to date. This was the first time I used Rover and had a wonderful experience with Jessica as my sitter. For every visit Jessica sent me pictures and let me know when she was going to arrive/leave my apartment. I highly recommend Jessica!”

We will definitely use her services again in the future when we make more travel plans!”
About: I'm a newly stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for as many dogs as possible. I have owned dogs my entire life and could say I have upwards of 30+ years of animal care experience. I have even worked with other animals including horses, chickens & ducks, bunnies, goats. I currently own a senior golden retriever mix and a young golden retriever. However, stubborn breeds are not a problem for me as I did own a husky for 11 yrs. I am fully comfortable administrating medication as I spent 3+ years working as a vet tech prior to starting a family. Please feel free to message with any questions, I will be happy to talk to you to ease any concerns. I recently became a stay at home mom with 2 children in elementary school and one toddler at home so I have plenty of time. I'd love to spend my additional time playing with the dogs or going for walks. I have a fully fenced in yard (6ft tall), that was reinforced to contain a husky. The outside gates are padlocked shut at all times so no worries about one being left open. No dog leaves my house unless in the fence or on a leash.
About: It’s no mystery, I love cats! I was born and raised with cats so I know them like the back of my hand. I take pride in being a perfectionist, empathetic, and patient. From the snuggly cats to the cats who simply want their food bowl and to ignore me, I get it and I will always deliver consistent luxurious service to your feline family members. While you take care of you, let me treat your cat like the king or queen they are!
About: What makes me different is that I truly enjoy being around Cat’s and creating a calm, safe environment for them. My experience caring for family pets has taught me how important consistency, affection, and attentive care are for every type of animal.
“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”
“April checked in on my two cats while I was out of the country for a few weeks. She communicated promptly and clearly, kept me updated on how they were doing, and let me know about other potential issues in the home that she noticed while there.”

About: I'm from PR, and I've been a dog rescuer since 2011. I have tons of experience caring for animals and giving them the love and treatment that they deserve. I love what I do. I retire and moved to Pittsburgh on February, 2023. It makes me a perfect match for your doggy. I will treat them as if they were mine. NO cages. I have a fenced runner connected to the pets' room that allows them to safely go in and out whenever they want. You can bring their bed or any special toys. I foster rescued dogs from PR that came to Pittsburgh looking for a second chance of life, and the money earn through Rover is used to cover their health and traveling expenses. I work from home, and my office is in the room where they will spend their stay, so they will be with me most of the day, and they will be able to play with my own dogs under supervision. If they are potty trained and well behaved, they will have permission to access all the house. To be able to satisfy you pup's needs, I will ask you to write down your special instructions and promise I will follow them as written. You will receive a lot of daily pictures of your furry friends.
“Carol has been very responsive and has taken in our girl Georgie. Georgie is a little timid and backwards at first, but Carol made her feel right at home. Georgie took to her welcoming, home environment and settled right in. She gets along great with the other babies being baby/dog sat, and Carol is very good with her. We will be using Carol in 2025!”

About: Although this account is under my name, this is a team effort with my wife. We’re a young, energetic couple who have all the time and patience your pup deserves. A fully fenced yard out back provides a great place for playtime, and there’s always a spot on the couch to hang out with us. We have raised rates due to high demand going into the summer. If you’re a returning client, please reach out and if there are any issues with cost, we can work something out. I work a 9-to-5 schedule from home and I tend to spend a lot of my free time there as well. My wife is also home most of the day, so we have plenty of time throughout the week to give your dog the attention they need! My fully fenced yard, quiet house and neighborhood are perfect for dogs who are looking to relax on their vacation, but I have plenty of energy to walk and play with them too. Your dog will be hosted by our Bernedoodle, Finn, who loves making new friends.
“I was definitely a nervous new mom dropping Rosie off with someone I just met but Jordan was kind, patient, and thorough. She is also extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Rosie had the best day on her farm!”
About: Growing up family and friends of the family always gave me the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they may needed. I grew up with having pets of my own as well. I always had a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman. Along with dogs and cats I always kept fish, and a reptile of sorts. I enjoy the science behind pet keeping along with the companionship. If trusted with your pet I can promise they will be loved as if they were my own, because that’s what they deserve! I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.
About: I've had a strong passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family relied on me to care for our dogs, cats, and hamsters. I now live in my own home with 4 cat children. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for several neighbors. I am very experienced at dog and cat walking, bathing, feeding, and medicine-giving. During the week I work as a full time engineer and cat mom. On the weekends, I have plenty of free time to hang out, play in the yard, or go for walks with your pet. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages (1 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 6yrs). They are friendly and well-adapted to other dogs and cats. They often have playdates with my parent's 16 year old cat and 7 month old kitten. Each of my cats are vaccinated, neutered, and love making new friends! In your home, I will accommodate any requests you may have. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pet above all else.
“Maria and her husband were awesome! Very nice, very easy to work with, and extremely respectful. Got some great photos. There yard was nice and clean and it was clear my pup had some fun!!”
“Laura was wonderful with our puppy! She was super communicative and provided a clean, warm, and safe space for our dog for the day. Our young puppy was well supervised, had plenty of bathroom breaks, opportunities for rest and exercise, and lots of great enrichment thanks to Laura's unique household set-up. I feel very fortunate to have found Laura as a great option to send my dog and have already booked several more dates.”
“Steve was a big help so we could have peace of mind that Maive was being well cared for while we where visiting In the east Pittsburgh area. Big fenced in yard! We had to change the drop off time and Steve always quick to respond, would definitely use his dog sitting services again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I grew up with dogs and over the last 10+ years became a huge cat person as well, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and walks throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I currently have two cats, so I understand how important it is to trust someone treating your pets like family. I’m dependable, patient, active, and love spending time outdoors getting exercise with pets while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting in your home depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy getting my steps in and staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to while making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and supervised environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I do currently have two cats, so I ask that dogs staying with me are cat-friendly. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routine, follow feeding/walking instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I believe pets should feel safe, loved, and treated like family in any environment. I have a pet-friendly backyard space for supervised outdoor time, walks, and play. Since the yard is not fenced in, safety and supervision are always a priority.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats. I can’t walk past a dog on the street without asking politely to pet them! Two years ago I rescued my dog, Stanley, who is a 24 lb terrier mix. He was abused and took a very long time to warm up, but after a lot of patience and love he’s now thriving and the best boy. I learned a lot with Stanley and feel equipped to work with shyer dogs. Stanley also likes hanging out with other dogs and would enjoy some company around the house! I currently work from home full time, so my availability is flexible. Stanley and I would be happy to have you hang out with us at my place (I’d recommend a meet and greet first). Or, I could stay at your place with your pet if that’s better for them, as long as I can have access to the WiFi so I can work. I live close to a nature trail that I take Stanley on daily, and we’re very familiar with the neighborhood. I can take frequent walk breaks and crate your pet if needed.
“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
“Sophie was fantastic and Eva seemed happy when I went to pick her up. I would be very comfortable leaving Eva in Sophie's care again if needed. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet girl!”

About: I grew up always surrounded by pets. I have consistently had family dogs since I was 6! I have been dog sitting for family and friends since 9-10 yrs old! I am currently a nursing student. Most of my free time is in the evening or on weekends, but I can make overnight dog sitting work! I am comfortable with walking dogs with or with out leashes. I am also an athlete/runner so I can also take dogs on runs if high energy!
About: I have extensive pet experience, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my life. Currently, I'm raising two shepherds and three cats. I've trained my own pets and have also helped family members with training. Additionally, I've provided care for pets while their owners are on vacation, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need. My hands-on experience with various breeds makes me well-equipped to care for your furry friends! I work as a family-based therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with animals, whether it’s walking, caring for, playing with, or training them. My job provides me the opportunity to balance my professional responsibilities with my passion for animals, ensuring that I can give your pets the attention and care they deserve. In terms of safety, trust, and environment, I prioritize creating a secure and comfortable space for pets in my home or my clients' homes. For in-home care, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe area for pets to play and explore. I also use room separators to ensure that pets remain in designated areas, and I have kennels available if needed for their comfort and security. I come prepared with my own leashes and have prior experience handling various situations to ensure the pets' safety. This allows me to guide pets effectively and manage any potential challenges that may arise. My focus is always on creating a trustworthy environment where pets feel at ease while receiving the care they need.

About: I've had a dog every year of my life until last year. I've raised puppies and then watched them grow old and had to say goodbye. I loved every minute, but cant say goodbye again. I do take care of my kids dogs. We are blessed to have a little Frenchie and a Bernese to care for from time to time.I am retired since September, and cant think of a better way to spend my time than playing with and caring for Pups! I am recently retired and no longer have a dog of my own as she passed last Christmas. Finding myself with alot of extra time, I know that caring for Pups would be a happy solution. As we no longer have a dog of our own, we do keep our kids dogs alot. We have a huge yard and stay with the dogs when they are outside. One is a Frenchie and the other a Bernese.

“Vivian and her family have been helping take care of our little pup, Ebby, for a little less than 3 months now and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is so reliable, loves Ebby like she’s her own, and updates us daily with pictures and videos during their walks. We could not work full time and give our energetic puppy the attention she needs without her help. Thank you for all that you do!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a youngster. They have always made my heart happy! Family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets whether it was dog sitting, walking, or just dropping by they have always known their fur babies were in good hands with me! I currently work part time as a Medical Assistant which leaves lots of room for me to do what I love- spend time with dogs. If your dog prefers a furry companion- I have a very well socialized pup of my own who loves to play and go for walks. I am a lover of the outdoors myself so long walks are just as much as a bonus for me as they are for your pup. If your dog prefers to lounge around I can handle that as well!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!
About: I believe our pets deserve the best care especially in times where pet moms/dads have to provide and take care of themselves, that’s where I come in to help focus on your pet and give them the same energy you would, so you can think about you! Patience, perfectionism, calmness, consideration, these are all things I take pride in. I am a very loving, gentle care taker (who loves to burn some energy off too through play!) I will focus on making sure your pets every need is met while going above and beyond to ensure they feel emotionally happy, safe, and respected by me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day, any time! I have reliable transportation and am available last minute if you need me I always start with a clean & sanitary space by ensuring food bowls, water bowls, beds blankets etc are all sanitary. Enrichment activities, brain stimulation, exercise, massages, cooking homemade dog/cat food, outfits/shoes for heat/cold protection, etc.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I've been pet sitting for over 15 years. I routinely watch my friends and family's pets. I have also had pets of my own, including dogs and cats. I have summers off and am very flexible with schedules. During the year I am free most days but can also work around with any schedule. I have experience with crate training. I also have experience using dog diapers on unspayed dogs. I am flexible and adaptive to whatever your wishes may be!
About: Hi there! My name is Melissa, and I have never met a fur baby that didn't take to me quickly. Our little family includes quite a few very friendly, well behaved, and super spoiled fur (and a few non fur) kids. Our 'mini zoo' as we call it, is home to our 2 dogs, Benji (Shichon) and Cheza (white German Shepherd); 2 rabbits Khaleesi (lion head), Jack (Russian dwarf); multiple aquariums, 2 whites tree frogs Mel and Gibson; an axolotl named Niko; three cats Kira, Lilly, and our "foster fail" 2 yr old Salem! (Phew, i told you it a zoo! Haha) Any time new dogs are at our home, we keep the cats in a separate closed off part of the house, so don't worry if cats make your fur baby a little excited. Our home is filled with lots of love, treats, and toys (more than likely one or two will make it's way home with you haha) I have had dogs my entire life. I spent 7 years volunteering at our local animal shelter walking and training dogs before they found their forever homes. Working with dogs of every size, from all walks of life, has prepared me for pretty much anything I could encounter. Even though being a full time wife, brand new mom, and mini zookeeper keeps me very busy; I am still left with a lot of love in my heart for all living creatures. So now that my mini hiatus for maternity leave is over, it's time to get back into spending as much time with 'all the dogs (or cats, bunnies, chickens, birds, ect)' as I possibly can. Whether that is done by walking, stopping to visit them while they are home alone, having a fun doggy daytime party in my home, or having them stay for a slumber party, I am totally game. I have been walking on the side though another service for quite some time. I am proud of my 5 star rating, and owner compliments about my extra caring nature, trustworthiness, and reliability. Among my family, friends, and colleges, I am known to be extremely reliable, trustworthy, and happy to do whatever I can to make someone else's life easier. My goal is to continue to do that for you, and give you a piece of mind to know that your pets are in the best of hands. I am, and have always been the go-to person for all of my family & friends when they need someone to take care of their fur family. I am often told that they admire how much I love their pets as my own... which pretty much means I spoil them all with immense amounts of love, but I just can't help it! But I promise that I can guarantee I will do the same for yours. I am currently a full time wife and new mom, so I am home full time! My husband also works from home, and is usually available to give me a hand when he needs a mental health break throughout his work day. And what's a better mental health break than spending time with dogs? In our opinion, nothing! We already are caring for our own, so a couple more are just a bonus. So this means that your pets will have constant love, and plenty of opportunities to exercise. In my home we have 3/4 acre of land. Our yard is partially fenced for the time being (will be fully fenced in this fall). All visitors to our home have access to our enclosed porch for some relaxation and sunning. For potty breaks and outside exercise a high grade durable yard lead is available, but not used with escape artists, or small dog breeds. Dogs are never left unattended outside at any time. Escape artists, extra strong doggos, and small breed dogs will be leashed and additional precautions will be discussed in advance with you.
“You did a great job with Seamus today! I prepared a portable water bag with one Greenie's capsule-size soft peanut butter pill pockets, broken up into small edible bites in a closed container for my Yorkie! (Too much gives him soft stools.). kmc”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach—treating every pet like my own, with dedicated attention, consistent communication, and a deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs and personality. I work from home all week and have a pretty short working schedule. I have lots of time at home to make sure each pet has the best care they need while the owner is out. Been doing it for so long and it's the best job ever! I have a fenced yard with lots of space, i live in a home in a mixed suburban neighborhood and there's lots of walking space around the block, dog park 5 min away and great space at home (no kids, just my wife)
About: I have 6 years of experience with dogs. From doggy daycare, Kennels, and veterinary clinics I have all the experience your furry friend would need! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, medications and so much more! I will care for your dogs like my own. I currently work part time at a kennel I've been at for 3 years now. I can do Monday-Friday evening as of right now. I do Walks mainly but also drop ins and daycares. I do not do overnight stays or in home stays. I do not care for pets in my home but I would be happy to do whatever needs done with your furry friend. A walk? Ball time? You name it and I'll be happy to do it!

“Ashley was exceptionally kind and attentive to my dog, my VAL felt at home, no stress and actually missed Ashley after leaving which says allot. I highly recommend her. There’s not enough stars above that represents my rating, 🙏.”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Tucker was well adjusted when he got home, which is a good sign he was comfortable being away for us for 5 days. He also did better with dropping the ball after fetch so I think Jordan's training skills rubbed off on him too. :)”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Andrew and Karen took great care of our little lady. She seemed to have a great time with their dog, Finn, and got lots of love and attention. We also appreciated their prompt replies and pictures.”
“Becca was a joy to work with, and took excellent care of my sweet boy Gunner. He had an awesome time with her pets and kids. I think he barely realized we were gone for a week! Thanks Becca ?”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“Once again, Natasha and fam provided a safe, loving space for our Rottweiler Cricket. Natasha was proactive in her communication for drop off and pickup - which is always a breeze, and reached out to give updates on how Cricket was doing. Natasha is always very kind and understanding with us and Cricket, which goes a long way when juggling hectic, complex schedules and needs. We notice that Natasha gives the same care and attention to all the dogs in her care. It helps us feel reassured to know that Cricket will get everything she needs and all the love whenever she stays with Natasha and her family.”
“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“Victoria was very accommodating went out of her way to make my beagle Hunter feel like one of the family. Sadly to the extent that he didn't want to come home :( She sent me pictures during his stay and when hunter chewed and tore his blanket she patched it back up for him. you could tell he enjoyed staying there and She gave me advise for him. I definitely will be having her sit my Hunter in the future. I recommend her highly..”
“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.”
“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I could tell he was having a great time and was well loved and cared for. Nancy and Butch are lovely people and I highly recommend their services!!”
“Stacey took great care of my dog! She watched her for a month while I had surgery. She sent pics and videos that helped to put my mind at ease knowing my dog was not only well cared for but happy, too! Highly recommend!”
“I was very pleased with the care that Pepper Jack received in Barbs care. The pictures we received while on vacation of pepper having a wonderful time made all the difference in the world to me so that I could enjoy my vacation worry free. I will definitely use Barb again to care for Pepper Jack in the future.”
“Emily and Patrick and of course Eli were wonderful with my little guy! So warm and welcoming during the meet and greet and very easy going with lots of picture and video updates! I felt at ease knowing my pup was loved on and cared for while I was out of town and would highly recommend them for anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
“Thanks Devin &Tim you took great care of dasiy. She took awhile to come around but you hung in there we appreciate you and thank you. We will recommend you to all our Dog friends.”
