About: I’ve been a pet sitter for more than 25 years. I specialize in senior care for dogs as well as young adults . My dogs are both rescues . I’m currently semi-retired and your pet is my priority. I am available holidays and weekend's. I have two small dogs, they are gentle and like other dogs. I have a fully fenced yard, and a doggie door leading to my backyard. I can crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
“Emily was awesome! She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages. I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog while on vacation with Emily. I'm very pleased and will use her for the future.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Angela and Rick taking care of Koda! I was a little nervous about leaving him for two weeks, especially since he can get stressed in daycare, but she made the whole experience so much easier for me! She kept me updated regularly, sent me lots of pictures, and it was clear that Koda was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of love and attention. She was incredibly caring and attentive, and treated Koda like he was her own. Seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust her with Koda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their dog!”
“Nicole and everyone did such a great job taking care of my dog and kitten! The kitten I literally found a week before I had to leave on my trip and she didn't mind taking him in too. I know my dog can be lots of work. She shared pictures every day which I absolutely love. I'll definitely be using her again! She also runs a daycare, so I'm glad my dog had plenty of friends to play with. Thanks again!”
“Excellent dog sitter! Ash was able to put our mind at ease as this was our 1st time using Rover. Her communication through calls/texts during our dog's stay was perfect. She gave us daily updates as to how are dog was doing along with pictures. We will definitely be using Ash's dog sitting services again in the future. She even gave our dog a jar of homemade treats to take home. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy and her family were amazing. They treated my girl like their own. My girl is very finicky with eating and she ate everyday while in her care. I received photos and updates everyday. Very very pleased and will use her again. Highly recommend.”
“Kimi is amazing!!!! She has a real special love for animals! I knew my “Bit” was in great hands! After picking her up, she has come back to me more loving and gentle! I give Kimi two thumbs up!!!! Thank You for loving and taking care of my little girl while I was away!”
“I was worried about leaving my dogs for the first time with someone else for an entire week while we were on vacation... that is until the morning I met Kristen and then I immediately felt at ease. She sent pictures of my fur babies every day and was fast at responding. We were extremely satisfied with Kristen. I highly recommend her and definitely plan on asking her to watch them in the future.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! Growing up with my grandparents, we’ve had 5 dogs and 3 cats at one time. I’m used to many different breeds from small dogs to larger dogs like a German Shepard Husky Mix. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed (Medium Size: 50 lb) dog! I’m not sure exactly what breed he is but is listed in my profile :) I am home full time, I have one dog that is my ESA and he goes outside when he wants to, has a morning and evening feeding schedule and I clip his nails & bathe him every other week. Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed. I have a mid-size fenced in backyard with turf grass, safe for pets to run around and play in. I have plenty of balls, toys, and bones for pets to chew, and plenty of treats!
“Lauren and her family are amazing! They truly love animals and my dog, Cooper, loves to go see them when we are traveling without him. I definitely know he is in great hands and being loved on.”
“Definitely recommend!!! You can tell that these are very pet-centric people who want to love and care for your baby while you’re away. Extremely kind and communicative. Quick and easy dropoff/pickup. 10/10!!! 🥰”
“My girl had a great time with Rebecca and Stan! They were great about communicating and sending me updates throughout my trip, I felt very comfortable with her being there and that she was in great hands! I would highly recommend them”

About: I'm a cat-person at heart. They make my heart feel full. Even the grumpy ones. My cat, Marv had hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease in his later years. I have plenty of experience administering his bi-daily medications as well as his measuring out his prescription food. Your cat(s) can expect the same love and care as if they were my own.

I highly recommend Mandy and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Super reliable and flexible! Willing to help with anything even at a moments notice. This was our first time using rover and we couldn't be more pleased with Ash being our sitter! She took care of our kittens and put our minds at ease while we traveled. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: We love cats around here. The sweet ones, the shy ones, and the ones who act like they own the place. I’ve spent years caring for kittens, seniors, and every personality in between. My 15-year-old daughter and I are a quiet, gentle team. We don’t just drop in and fill a bowl. We notice the little things, follow routines exactly, and give your cat space or snuggles depending on their mood that day. We know how particular cats can be, and we honestly love that about them. If you want someone who respects your cat’s rhythm, their favorite windowsill, and the very specific way they like things, that’s us.
About: Growing up I wanted to bring home every stray I saw and now, at the age of 27, I’m blessed to have been able to open my doors to 4 stray kittens, bringing my total to a whopping 7 cats. I suppose that may qualify me for a “crazy cat lady” title. I have experience with cats of all ages and temperaments, including behavioral issues and special needs kitties. One of my own is blind but has a big enough attitude to make up for it. I love spending one on one time with cats to really learn their funny little personalities, as they can all be so drastically different, and then tailor their care specifically towards each of them.
“I can always count on Virginia when it comes to helping out and taking care of Nexus! The pictures and videos I received while I was away made my heart feel so much better. Nexus loves spending time with Virginia and I know she is in great hands! Definitely will rebook when needed!! 10/10!!”
“Samantha and Max took great care of my brother’s cats while we were away. They are kind and caring pet people. We knew we were in good hands with them. Thank you again, Sam and Max!”

“Communication was excellent. This was my first time using Rover for doggie daycare. There were multiple people on site who were helping care for the dogs during the day. My dog was able to play with other medium-sized dogs. She definitely got enough exercise, and she is a higher energy dog breed (Husky). They also sent me a picture of her playing with some other dogs. And, they have air conditioned space available indoors for hotter days. We had a good experience and I would recommend them!”

About: I work from home, so I’m here throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, company, and care. With over 20 years of professional animal care experience, dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I specialize in geriatric dogs and have experience with diabetic and special needs dogs, including insulin injections and medications. I’ve also been a dog mom to six dogs of my own, so I understand that dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family. When I leave my own dogs, I want pictures and I want to know how they’re really doing. You’ll get a message every day from your dog with a picture or two, because who doesn’t want to hear from their dog while they’re away? At the end of their stay, you’ll also get a full report on how everything went. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for like one of my own. I currently work from home, and have a flexible schedule.

About: My home is a dog-friendly, warm and inviting place where your special family member will be loved and cared for.

I work from home so our time and availability is flexible! I love to take frequent walk and play breaks. And I am always up for some cuddle time! My yard is shady for dogs of all sizes. The neighborhood is pet friendly with lots of walking. I previously managed a pet sitting business within our Virginia neighborhood and can provide references.

Would recommend!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and I really love all animals. I have cared for many different breeds, including two deaf dogs and one 3-legged dog. I am patient, reliable, and I am comfortable with all disabilities and needs. I am quick to understand what makes your dog comfortable. I have also fostered dogs while in college and have had experience with many puppies. My goal is to make sure that your dog feels comfortable and well taken care of while you’re away. I am completely free until I leave for school on August 9th! I have a part time job where I work some Sundays at the Farmers Market from 8am-1pm. I am extremely flexible. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. During drop-in visits, I ensure dogs receive regular exercise through walks and playtime, tailored to their energy levels and preferences.

My goal is to provide a loving, attentive experience that keeps your dog happy and relaxed.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. As a longtime equestrian, I gained valuable experience caring for horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in handling animals with different temperaments. In addition to caring for horses, I’ve lived with and cared for two cats over the past two years and have experience looking after multiple dogs and puppies. Last year, I house sat for a family with a very energetic dog, making sure they got plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship while their owners were away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important routines are, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions if needed, and any special requests to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, or quiet companionship, my goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. Since I already care for my own cats every day, pet care is a regular part of my life, and I love spending time with animals whenever I can. I’m committed to being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to follow their normal schedule for meals, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions from their owners. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while making sure their home is respected and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so they receive personalized care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ashley Downs
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I’d first discovered them as a young child, it never mattered the type or size, I’ve always been drawn to them. I grew up in the PNW where I spent many years in 4-H, showing horses and participating in our local county fair. Last year we took the leap and moved to South Carolina with our 2 senior dogs, 4 cats, and bearded dragon, and have been loving how beautiful it is. Since our move, we have acquired 3 more cats that were picked up as strays, bringing our total to a whopping 7 cats! I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels of dogs, as well as behavioral issues. One of senior dogs struggles with reactivity while on leash, and I make it a point to make sure he is always comfortable and safe while out. I also specialize in pets with special needs who may require a little extra attention and care. One of the kittens we took in is completely blind, amongst other things, and had required daily medication at times. She also suffers from behavioral issues which is why I’m so adamant on being patient with animals. They are learning every day, just as we are. If given the opportunity, I promise to treat your animals as I do my own, with love and grace. I’ve been blessed enough to have a very open schedule and can pretty much fit any time a pet may need into my day. Whether it be weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and have reliable transportation. The safety and comfort of your pets are my top priority and I plan to treat them the way I treat my own. I’m very mindful of securing doors and fences to insure your babies are safe and secure where they are supposed to be. I speak to all animals the way I would speak to a friend because I believe, while they may not be able to understand all the words, they can understand tone and intention.
“Jayda is dependable, has great communication, and treats Hank like her own. I trust her completely with taking care of him. He's always so happy to see her. I highly recommend her and am so thankful for her.”
About: I have experience with all sizes of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Great Pyrenees as well as both indoor and outdoor cats. I also have experience with different temperaments, such as fearful, hyper, or dominant animals. I am a stay-at-home mom with a newborn, so my schedule is very flexible and I would love the chance to play with your fur babies! I make sure your fur babies are comfortable and all their needs are met, as well as taking care when entering your home to ensure any escape attempts are unsuccessful!
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had pets in my household. At one point, I lived in a home with 12 dogs and 2 cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets, different personalities, and different breeds. I currently have a 2-year-old Standard Poodle of my own who is very loved and well cared for. I am also a mom of three, a nursing student, and a business owner, so I am responsible, organized, dependable, and used to managing a busy schedule. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I make my own work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet walks, drop-ins, and sittings into my routine. I’m also currently in nursing school, so I only work part-time. This allows me to plan my schedule around both school and pet care, making sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. For the Safety, Trust & Environment section, you could put: I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your pet like one of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of their space and make sure everything is secure before I leave.
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
About: I’ve grown up with pets ever since i was born! I currently have two cats and one dog that i love so deeply! I can take dogs out for walks or play with them outside and entertain the cats or simply just stay with them while they relax. I’m currently in Anderson for college and would love to take care of your animal! I have availability throughout the weekdays and selective availability on the weekends! My pets at my house are cared for so deeply and I promise to care for yours just the same! I would ensure safety all the time when walking or watching your animal(s).
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for labs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work every Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend, which gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am also the co-founder of a rescue and have experience with the care of the dogs in our rescue. I also have 4 dogs of my own. I am currently retired , so my schedule is flexible. I can spend time with your pet to play, take for a walk, or just hang out with. I’m also available to feed your pet if needed. I have experience with a variety of different dogs, and am able to handle large or small dogs. I love to bond with them to earn their trust.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life! My current pet, Gus, is a pomeranian-bichon. Im experienced in dog sitting and training. Fun fact, i’ve also had fancy mice before! I’d love to ease your mind and give your babies the care they need when you’re unable to. I am working Part-Time, so on days that I work, i can be available before 10, and after 7:30. On days when I’m off, I can do anytime! I have a fenced in yard that accommodates my 3 dogs here at home. We also take care of several strays in the neighborhood that have a little sanctuary on the front porch.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a home with dogs sparked a lifelong love for pets, and for the past five years, I’ve been a proud dog parent to my own fur baby. I began dog and cat sitting about six years ago and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m also comfortable caring for animals with special medical needs, including administering insulin to a cat with diabetes and managing feeding routines for a dog with megaesophagus. I truly love what I do and treat every pet as if they were my own—providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Clemson and have certain days during the week where I am free for most of the day and all day Sundays! I like to create a calm safe environment where every pet is treated like my own. But also love playing fetch in my big fenced in back yard and have a very friendly dog who loves everyone that would love a play date! Keeping a consistent routine is also a key aspect to a good environment!
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I’ve had multiple dogs and have provided pet sitting services for countless dogs and cats over the years. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. The most I’ve cared for at one time is two dogs and two cats, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets while ensuring each one receives the care and attention they deserve. I genuinely love animals and have the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pets while you’re away. Over the next few months, I’ll be out of school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean environment, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have had pets all my life and always wanted to be a professional with animals when I grew up. As life goes, I took a different path and had a family! I've worked at two different animal clinics beginning in 2007 so I do have some medical knowledge, at least enough to know when there is an issue. Having worked at the vet clinic for the past year that I also take my own animals to, I have a personal and friendly relationship with all the doctors, assistants, and techs! If the need arises to have to take your pet to the vet, they would be in amazing hands, and just a short drive away from my home! In addition, I have a small zoo at my home! :) All caged animals, except for my 3 dogs who are kennel/house trained and very social and friendly! They would be the only animals that your pet would encounter. Your baby would have such a fun time with my family which includes 3 young boys who also love animals! At the end of their stay, I also offer a bath and basic grooming for an additional fee, if you choose. I use a dog grooming table, and dog grooming tools. I'm looking forward to caring for your furry friend!! I am now a stay at home mom, so I have the availability to be with and care for your pet consistently (barring possible errands that need to be done)! All my kids are in school, so during the day my animals and yours would be my primary focus! In the evening, my kids are a big help with our own dogs, leaving me available to put more focus on your pet! The neighborhood I live in is side walked, and so dog friendly that some of the neighbors have a group dog walk! In my home, my pet areas are clean, well tended, and esthetically pleasing. My dogs are fed twice a day, each in their own little spot, they are up to date on vaccines, parasite tested negative, and receive flea/tick/heartworm prevention monthly. If your pet needs medications administered, I have experience with this from working at animal hospitals and you can rest assured they will be administered properly. Finally, your fur baby will be able to run around and get some exercise in my large fenced-in lot with my 3 dogs and buckets of water available on these hot days!
About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I typically work a few days out of the week and 4-6 hour shifts! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.
About: I adore all animals. Since I was a child animals have felt safe and protected around me. It's a special and pure love that we as humans don't always deserve! I'm a reliable, caring and trustworthy animal lover with a flexible schedule. I will always do my best to make your fur baby my priority! I treat animals as if they're children. They get the same love, care and patience that you would give a child. Even moreso, actually. Trust and respect are vital in a human and animal relationship.
About: I love animals, especially dogs. I've taken care of dogs for friends and family for over 20 years. I am a fur mama to 2 yorkie's. One of them is a diabetic and requires daily shots. I can take care of any special needs that your pets require. I'm great with all dogs, they're my favorite kind of people.. I work full time Monday-Thursday 8-5. I'm available after 5 and then anything Fri-Sunday. I can run to your home to walk on my lunch if its in the Greenville or Simpsonville area. I will do what the owner needs me to do: walk on leash, stay in fence yard, crate in kennel. My two yorkies are trained. One walks on leash while other one stays by my side when outside.

“Emily was awesome! She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages. I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog while on vacation with Emily. I'm very pleased and will use her for the future.”
“Nicole and everyone did such a great job taking care of my dog and kitten! The kitten I literally found a week before I had to leave on my trip and she didn't mind taking him in too. I know my dog can be lots of work. She shared pictures every day which I absolutely love. I'll definitely be using her again! She also runs a daycare, so I'm glad my dog had plenty of friends to play with. Thanks again!”
“Kimi is amazing!!!! She has a real special love for animals! I knew my “Bit” was in great hands! After picking her up, she has come back to me more loving and gentle! I give Kimi two thumbs up!!!! Thank You for loving and taking care of my little girl while I was away!”
“I was worried about leaving my dogs for the first time with someone else for an entire week while we were on vacation... that is until the morning I met Kristen and then I immediately felt at ease. She sent pictures of my fur babies every day and was fast at responding. We were extremely satisfied with Kristen. I highly recommend her and definitely plan on asking her to watch them in the future.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! Growing up with my grandparents, we’ve had 5 dogs and 3 cats at one time. I’m used to many different breeds from small dogs to larger dogs like a German Shepard Husky Mix. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed (Medium Size: 50 lb) dog! I’m not sure exactly what breed he is but is listed in my profile :) I am home full time, I have one dog that is my ESA and he goes outside when he wants to, has a morning and evening feeding schedule and I clip his nails & bathe him every other week. Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed. I have a mid-size fenced in backyard with turf grass, safe for pets to run around and play in. I have plenty of balls, toys, and bones for pets to chew, and plenty of treats!
“Lauren and her family are amazing! They truly love animals and my dog, Cooper, loves to go see them when we are traveling without him. I definitely know he is in great hands and being loved on.”
“Definitely recommend!!! You can tell that these are very pet-centric people who want to love and care for your baby while you’re away. Extremely kind and communicative. Quick and easy dropoff/pickup. 10/10!!! 🥰”
“Landon and Addie were great with our dog, Clover! Drop off and pick up were quick and easy and he kept us updated on how she was doing and sent photos throughout her stay. We have already recommended them to local friends and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Matthew and Heidi are great. We had some anxiety about leaving our dog with someone new for our long 16-day trip. They answered all our concerns and questions. Their house has a fenced backyard, and our pup enjoyed playing with their daughter. We will definitely use them for future trips.”
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Jennifer took great care of Storm for an overnight stay. It was his first time and also it was a very last minute request and she was wonderful. She sent pictures and kept me up to date.”
“Kelly did an outstanding job taking care of Emma during my trip. It was my dog’s first time away from home and Kelly’s care and great communication made her stay a positive experience for both of us. I definitely recommend her.”
