Personalized care for your dog or cat - Youngstown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Youngstown
About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.

“Renae was wonderful with Jack! Reluctantly, my partner and I had to have him boarded for Thanksgiving and he was given such good care. He's pretty new for us and was eased into some social time with kids and other dogs, giving us more confidence for him to be around our families and in large group settings. She updated me periodically which put me at ease. I can vouch for her kindness and quality of care. Book Renae!”
“Vivian loves dogs! Our Daisy had a wonderful time staying with her. Vivian's whole family was loving on our dog and even slept on the bed with them. I received 4-5 pictures every day of Daisy from Vivian. Vivian was quick to respond to my texts and we set up a meet and greet very quickly. Once I met Vivian I knew she would be great. Thank you Vivian for loving and taking such good care of our dog and I would definitely hire you again to watch our Daisy.”

“Beatriz exceeded all of my expectations. She sent me “pupdates” of my dog throughout the duration of his stay with her which provided me the best reassurance that he was in excellent hands. I definitely will be reaching out to her again next time I am out of town and need doggy boarding!?”

“This was our very first Rover booking and it couldn’t have been better! Allison was absolutely fabulous taking care of Lil Cat! She took pictures and was very communicative while we were on vacation. She also spent time with him & now they are the best of buddies! We will definitely book her again!”
About: Growing up my family HATED cats… (not me) therefore my dad never allowed us to get one. ALL of my friends had cats growing up and I just LOVED THEM. Currently I spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s parents cats. I have experience administering meds as well!
“Renae was outstanding. This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn't have went better. She was always on time and offered to do other things in the house. She sent us pictures and updates about the dog. The most important thing is that she was wonderful with our dog. You can not go wrong with hiring Renae to watch your pups. She is first class. A+”
About: I've been taking care of cats and cat sitting since I was about 13, for neighbors, friends, and family. Additionally, my family has three cats of our own! Their names are Onyx, Mabel, and Casper. They are all rescue cats as well. I feed them, change their litter, and play with them every day.
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and know that every cat is different. Some are social and playful, while others prefer a quiet space and a slower approach. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and sticking to your cat’s normal routine. Whether your cat wants attention or simply someone they can feel safe around, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, cared for, and treated like one of my own while you’re away.
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: I've taken care of cats, moody and sociable, ever since I was a little girl. I have experience caring for senior cats and administering medication with my childhood cat, Jellybean who lived to be 20. I now care for my own cat, Dakota, who I have had since I was 10 years old. I have frequently been asked to drop-in on my friends' and neighbors' cats when they are away. I have no problem cleaning up hairballs and litter!
About: While I have never cared for another families cat, i have had cats my whole life. Throughout my 20 years of living, I have had over 40 cats. Living on a farm gave me a lot of experience with both outdoor and indoor cats!
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Alexandria to take care of our cat, Midnight, for a week while we were out of town. Alexandria stayed at our house to keep Midnight company and to take care of feeding, litter box cleaning and quality play time. She kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Midnight seemed comfortable and happy around Alexandria from day one. She also took care of various household chores such as garbage collection and bringing in mail and packages. After getting home, not only was Midnight in top shape, but also the house! I highly recommend Alexandria to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy petsitter, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats in my household my entire life. I have trained puppies all the way to providing extra love and TLC to senior dogs and cats. I have 2 cats and one Pitbull mix at home :) My Pitbull mix is reactive who has improved by leaps and bounds due to my training--I am very familiar with reading a dog's body language and reacting accordingly. I work part time as a First Responder at the local EMS agency and am recently starting school to further my career. I have a very flexible schedule and I will bring patience, fun and lots of love to your furbabies! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for one year at a local vet clinic--I am comfortable with medication administration and have experience with recognizing medical conditions in our fur babies as well. Medication and injections are free of charge! I will provide you with updates and pictures at each visit unless specified otherwise so just let know! :) My intent is make you, the pet parent., feel at ease with me coming into your home and caring for your pets. Whatever is instructed by the pet parents will be completed. Guaranteed routine feeding and watering to be done at every visit. Any mess made from your pet will be cleaned and taken care of during the time I am taking care of them. I am not responsible for any destructive behavior from the pet that causes destructive damage to the home or property. PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT offer continuous care as I do need to leave to care of my own family since my husband is an over the road truck driver. Thank you for understanding. My house-sitting rate includes me conducting 30-45 minute drop ins every 6-8 hours. If extra time is needed, just let me know and I will try to accommodate as best as I can; an additional fee or an increase fee may be applied.
About: I had a few cats when I was a kid. While most of my experience is with dogs, my mom owns three cats and I have taken care of them while she has gone on vacation many times! I am a genuine animal lover and I adore cats just as much as dogs.
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs off all types all my life. Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs/pets from rabbits, dogs,cats, Guinea pigs, to caring and spending time with the family horses.

I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time to care for your pet, keep your pet safe when you need it the most!

Love to go walking on a daily basis and if it applies to your pet spend time at local dog parks!
“We have been using Beatriz & Hayden for almost three years. They have cared for all three of our dogs; each who had/have their own special needs or quirks. Beatriz & Hayden have graciously accommodated all of their needs with much love and kindness. Our boys love(d) going there and I always felt comfortable leaving them with these extremely capable sitters. They send great photos and updates during a visit and I was always able to get in touch with them in a very timely manner and always felt respected and acknowledged when communicating with them. These are only some of the reasons why we will continue to drive the extra distance just to book them as our pet sitters!”

Animals deserve all the love possible. I currently do not work so I have all the time to give any dog attention and love. I can help with potty training and other simple things. And will keep your dog company and make sure they are not alone I have a yard it’s not fenced but I do have a puppy who would keep your dogs company and they will have a playmate because he’s super friendly and playful.

I have 30 years experience in pet care and my husband's family owns the only pet Cemetery in Westmoreland County. It's been in business for over 50 years. Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet. And we could review the pet care needs and routine. My specialty is dogs with PTSD/behavior issues. I'm not afraid of aggressive or high maintenance dogs. Working with animals is my greatest passion. Currently available Tuesday-Saturday days, evenings and weekends. Works part time as a dog bather, working to become a dog groomer. Love spending my time w pets.

About: Animals have been a passion of mine my entire life! I have owned and loved cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10. I would love to show that same love to your babies, too! I am available to do in-house stays, walking, play dates, and much more! I work full-time, but work from home so that makes it easy for me to care for your furry friend. My weekends are usually filled with playing with my puppies, but I would love to make time for your pets to join us for walks or play dates! I have a fenced in yard and an open floor plan home that allows for plenty of room to play, rain or shine. I live on a quiet street that makes walking your pet a breeze. All doors remain shut in my home to ensure no nosy pups can get in to things that they should not. I am big on taking pictures and can keep you updated on the status of your pet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your pet in my care!
About: I live in Scottdale but I’m very familiar with ALL surrounding areas. I’m a homemaker, so I’m available practically any time to come offer care to your furry (or not so furry!) loved ones! Currently we have a very hyper 32lb female Siberian Husky & a spunky 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained. I recently lost my female German Shepherd; & a year prior my male Siberian Husky. My male Siberian was epileptic so I’m experienced in offering meds and know that having them on hand & on time IS A MUST for things of this nature! My shepherd was very elderly & required extra love & care also. *I offer basic kitty care. (Also if you don’t mind if I bring my sister along she is EXCEPTIONAL with cats more so than I am. I cannot host cats in my home due to the prey drive of my husky, sometimes she’s ok with them, other times not. But I or my sister & I both will come to you! (I pay my sister personally out of my own pocket, no extra fee for you!). *I’ll do feedings for lizards as I have had a few bearded dragon myself as well so I’m knowledgeable here also. (But under no circumstances ask me to care for your snake!) *I offer walks, playtime, feeding & water breaks, treat time, medication administration all in my standard fee. Anything else, just ask! I’m very flexible & willing to work out most things if we can come to an agreement suitable for both sides. Can’t wait to meet the furry parts of your family.🐾 Pretty much available whenever. I can usually work out something that’s suitable if I am not. Reach out with any questions! We can almost always work out an agreement. No fence but my yard is safe, multiple leashes, 2 porches, in a friendly community for walks. Small home but very lovable and friendly and cozy. My dogs are crate trained but good with other dogs, socialized, UTD on shots, but my girls are not spayed so I prefer altered males only at this time.
About: I’m a full-time professional with three years of experience teaching manners at Humane Animal Rescue, and I’m excited to welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs into my home for boarding. My approach combines safety, structure, and enrichment so your dog feels secure, happy, and fulfilled during their stay. My home is set up with safety in mind—hazards are kept out of reach, and visiting pets are supervised closely every day. I have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and while there are a few steps, I make sure each dog’s needs are accommodated. We have a securely gated setup in our dining room where dogs can be separated for rest time throughout the day as needed, or simply to decompress if they want their own space! Rotating between my own dog and yours in this accommodated space will be a part of our routine if your dog needs more personalized attention, but only if needed. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet with my own well-socialized pit bull mix and cat. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and sets the tone for a stress-free visit. I also honor your preferred training methods and routines while adding daily mental and physical enrichment—sniff walks, puzzle toys, and engagement games—to keep your pup’s mind and body happy. Whether your dog thrives on quiet companionship or loves a more active, engaging schedule, I’ll make sure they feel cared for like family. I currently am a full time working professional with a hybrid schedule. I work two days in office and my husband works from home daily. Your pet will always be attended to and cared for like our own. I understand the importance of peace of mind when trusting your pet with another person. Extra attention and care is always taken to ensure pet safety, whether this be around open doors, while on walks, or any other particular needs they have.
About: I just like being around puppies. Especially the smaller ones. I don't have any special skills and definitely not a professional. But I'm a responsible person and so you can trust me with your puppy. No cats though. I work one one week and one week off. On my off weeks I don't really do anything (yet). Filling the void. Free throughout the day during off weeks and not a single second during work week. I can walk your puppy, feed your puppy, ensure that it has company, play around with it, watch for signs of the puppy needing additional care.
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.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and have cared for them myself since I was 10 years old. My dog of 14 years recently passed away and I've decided to sign up for Rover to get my puppy fix keeping other dogs company while their owners are at work, traveling etc. I work from home full time, have a large fenced in yard and can give your dog(s) the love and attention they deserve! I currently work from home full time so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available from any time in the morning until whenever needed in the evening. I can take breaks as needed to walk your pups in addition to letting them run around in our fenced-in yard as much as they please! I have a large fenced-in yard where I can play with them and be fully-attentive or let them relax on their own outside if preferred and acceptable to you. Our home is air conditioned/heated and comfortable to your pets while you are working/away.
“Our dog took to Kim and Dave instantly ( which never happens). They took excellent care of her, and sent several photos. And you could tell that she was very relaxed and comfortable in their company. I highly recommend Kim. Thanks again.”
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.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I helped my parents raise 2 puppies and now I've raised my own! I know basic training skills to the extent of what the internet has taught me, but when it comes to the care of dogs, I have a full lifetime's experience. I work full time, however I love animals and am more than happy to drop in, or even walk after. I am also capable of being home full time if there is a boarding request If you ask me to take your baby for a few days in my home, with your permission I’d be more then happy to take them on a nice long walk or hike too! I have a dog of my own, an Aussiedoodle who loves everyone and everything. So just keep that in mind when booking with me!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Youngstown
About: Hey! My name is Gia, and I am a college student spending my summer dedicated to your pup! From German shepherds to beagles, rambunctious to shy, I have cared for, walked, and become best friends with them all! I would love to become your dog's loyal walker or sitter :-) I will be working part-time in May, so I will have more than enough time to see my new friends! I take long walks daily, so if your pup needs a walk during the day while you are at work, I am your person! My sister has a rambunctious Australian Shepherd at my house who is the sweetest, but isn't the best with other dogs. I would love to care for your part at your house, though! Whether it be just a check-in or a full day play date, I will make sure he or she is taken care of.
About: I have work in kennels before that do daycare and boarding previously and have done great taking care of the dogs. I am very understanding to dog's feelings and attitudes. I am very active and am able to go on long walks with pups. I adore all dogs and will do my best to make sure they are well taken care of while you are busy! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time in my days to take care of your pets. I am available from 9am-5pm during the weekdays. I will more than happily take my time and ensure your pet gets all the attention they want. I am extremely willing for walks and playing with your pups or hanging out with your cat, give them a brushing, and checking their food and water.
About: I’ve been around pets all my life. From the moment I was born we had cats and my family members had dogs. My cousin trains dogs and has been for 3 years, she gets them as little puppies and I am always around them. I walk dogs frequently and am around them frequently! I help a lot of people dog sit! I would like to get some extra cash and exercise while I am at school! I have an easy schedule this semester and would love to walk a dog or care for a pet. I’ve dog sitted many times before. Everytime I make sure I take them on walks, make sure they pee/poop, and feed them properly, but you can’t forget to love on them!! At home I love on my pets a lot, feed them, and change their litter box.
About: I've been a dog/cat owner since childhood. Animals love me because they know I love them! I'm that girl who's on the floor playing with your dog at the party :). Shy cats tend to walk right up to me. My husband and I have 2 daughters (Ages 10&5). We have one doggy (Alita - rescue, mixed breed - Age 11, one cat (Whiskey - Rescue, Long Haired Queen - Age 8), & a tortoise named Shelly (of course). We have lived in Greensburg most of our lives. We've always owned and loved animals, and have often cared for family pets as well. I'm new to Rover but a seasoned pet owner, sitter and lover! I'm an entrepreneur & I make my own schedule. My weekdays are wide open. I have 2 small kids, so afternoons after 3pm and evenings are fuller for me. I'm happy to accept a few clients per weekend as well. I'm happy to visit your animals for potty breaks, walks, and playtime. At this time, I won't be inviting animals into my home, but I hope to in the future!
About: I’m Emily! A little about me: I love to run, lift, paint, and read. I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Speech Pathology and Audiology who’s home for the summer! I've been a pet owner myself for about 5 years now. My family currently has three cats and has had a dog and another cat in the past. Within the last seven years I have dog and cat sat for a lot of my extended family and friends. I'm currently on the hunt for a part-time job for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after and care for pets. I also have my own car and am hanging out with friends a lot, so I am always around. I am very diligent with making sure doors and windows are shut and locked to ensure that your pets do not go in or out (if they're indoor pets/ not on a leash) as I have to do that with my own pets! I also realize as it grows hotter, animals become dehydrated and hot as well, and I am careful to make sure water bowls are filled, and there is water during walks as well.
“Kassidy came for a "meeting and greet" with our dog Beanie and was obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. She had some very good advice for training Beanie also. Definitely 5 stars!”
About: Hello I have always had a dog within the household that I have lived. We were raised with little dogs (shih-tzu, mini schnauzers, cocker spaniels).and when I moved out of my parents house; I have 2 dogs, one is an English bulldogge that I swear, she is a sassy toddler (she is 5). She is spoiled. She has been through several training courses. The other one is a rescue mixed blue heeler who is so affectionate. Both of them have individual traits that are cute in their own way. They have their own area called "The Woof Nook." The thing that sets me apart from other people is that I will love your dog as if it were my own. The dog will get whatever you want and I will go the extra mile for your dog. I am an energetic person who values kindness above all else. I have experience with training dogs as I had to train my dogs to do tricks together and seperately. I work 4 days per week full time as a mental health therapist/addictions counselor. I have 3 days off and feel that I could be utilizing my time more effectively. What better way to do that then to spend time with dogs and getting exercise! My dogs go for daily walks and sometimes I take them on hikes (if the weather permits). They also receive baths after a hike. My pups get treats if they listen and are well behaved. Sometimes just because they are cute. I will walk your pup on a short or long walk, depending on your preference. I will also talk to your pup and give praise.
About: I started training dogs at a very young age, and decided to make it into a career a few years ago. I specialize in fearful and reactive dogs, the overlooked and misunderstood. I have open availability Saturday through Tuesday! Even on the other days I am working, I’m always working with dogs. We can always work around work schedules If your dog is up for it- I will include your dog in my daily life as if they’re part of the family. If they prefer a place to be calm by themselves, I have a few runs to offer for that as well. I also do in home training, as well as meeting up at dog friendly locations depending on the need of the dog.
“Nami has never gotten used to a stranger so fast in her life. Corrin made both of us comfortable at our meet and greet. Usually Nami is very skeptical. She even let Corrin touch her ears and her feet after she felt confident enough. Extremely excited for our next meet and greet!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—whether your cat is shy, energetic, or senior, I adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also patient and attentive, which helps when caring for nervous cats or those who need extra time to warm up. I have experience with administering basic medications, maintaining strict routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health early on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a SAHW—I prioritize it just like any other responsibility. I plan my schedule to ensure I’m available for consistent visits, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening. I’m very mindful of keeping pets on their normal routine, so I build my day around their feeding, playtime, and care needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether in my home or my client’s home. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely—feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure the space stays clean and your cat feels comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and a clean setup. I always prioritize safety, hygiene, and clear communication, and I send regular updates with photos.

“Thank you Mariah for caring for my two pups! I have a senior and a reactive dog that both require great patience and care. I am also fairly particular with who I trust caring for my dogs; however, Mariah was wonderful and made the pups comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I’m Anjel. I have had dogs my entire life of all sizes and breeds and most definitely a dog person (Don’t worry cats, I love you too). I understand the hardships of raising a well-rounded pup and I’m here to help! Patience is always key with any pet. Besides having dogs my entire life, I also previously worked at a Doggie Daycare & boarding facility and have house sitting/pet sitting clients that have been with me from the start of my pet sitting career starting 18 years ago. I enjoy all puppies whether they are large or small, young or old. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and do not turn away any breed. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, insulin (as well as testing before meals), and preparing meals for EPI dogs. I look forward to connecting with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!

I have open availability on the weekends and flexibility during the week. I currently work in Allegheny county right off of Rt. 51 so I am able to travel to all areas with ease. I am typically scheduled 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday but experience cancellations throughout the week where I’m typically home before 4pm. Leaving my morning availability open, possibility for mid day potty breaks when I experience cancellations, and my afternoon/evening open for walks, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting duties. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I like to stick to the pet’s routine to avoid any changes in their typical schedule. I take extra precautions when it comes to open doors, ensuring they are correctly and safely in their crate when applicable, and accompanying them when outside for potty breaks. Safety is my number one priority as I know it would be devastating if any accidents were to happen and I am proactive in covering all the bases to ensure that they do not.

About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.

“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”

About: I have taken care of animals on my own for over 4 years. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats and one dog who I love very much. All my pets are really spoiled, in my home they come first they are my children. I would love to watch dogs and act as if they are my own. My dog is currently a puppy and he hyper and loves to play. He is extremely friendly. I can help with basic training like sit, paw, down, up. All my experience with animals has come from having many on my own. So I self taught myself. Animals deserve all the love possible. I currently do not work so I have all the time to give any dog attention and love. I can help with potty training and other simple things. And will keep your dog company and make sure they are not alone I have a yard it’s not fenced but I do have a puppy who would keep your dogs company and they will have a playmate because he’s super friendly and playful.
“Ashlyn was great! She made the the dropoff so easy, and we had no issues. She was great with sending pictures, and eased my worries big time. This was the first time we've left our little guy in someone else's care, and I was very nervous, but she did a fantastic job walking lots and taking care of him. We would definitely have her watch him again 😁✋”
“My special needs dog Gerald seemed to really enjoy his time with Michelle! The photos she sent always showed that he was cuddled up next to her, comfortable as can be. Thank you Michelle!”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“My 2 dogs had a great time during their stay with Gary. One of the dogs has special needs and he provided excellent care. I know they’ll be looking forward to returning again soon!”
“Our pups are treated like family by Coralee! She administers medications and supplements for our pup with with extra needs. She always goes above and beyond to communicate with us on a daily basis, with pictures, which we so appreciate over a busy holiday week! I cannot recommend Coralee and her family enough to care for your pups.”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
