“Great sitter, sent daily updates and pictures, quick responses, and overall great communication. This was Maggie’s second stay with Heather and she seemed to have a great time. Highly recommended”
“Top tier stay! This was our first time EVER having to drop our Kenzie off and Megan made us feel so comfortable! I checked in constantly and she never made me feel like a bother! She loved on our fur baby just how she is loved on here at home! Megan will definitely be our forever go to person whenever we are in need! We appreciate you so much!”
“This was Cheatnut’s first time away from home and Kashawna made this experience amazing for him.. She took excellent care of him and gave updates and pics of how he was doing.. Very nice family and also very knowledgeable.. Thanks again and I will definitely use her in the future”
“Our pups thoroughly enjoyed their stay with Carrie and Kurt! Loved the pics we received from Carrie and are so thankful our sweet pups were so well taken care of! Thank you, Carrie and Kurt!!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Will definitely be recommending to anybody that needs a dog sitter, very responsive and is always sending updates on how our dog is doing! Makes you feel comfortable knowing your dogs in good hands!”
“Andrea was very helpful guiding me through the process of Rover. As a first time user, I wasn’t sure how everything worked and she explained everything completely. She welcomed my two fur babies into her home for a week while my husband and I were out of the country. I was a little hesitant since it was my first time leaving them with anyone, but she was very reassuring that they were in good hands. While away she messaged us with updates and pictures. Upon picking them up she told us how much she enjoyed watching them. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking.”
“Jen was great with my puppy Becca! Our 12 week old puppy can be lots of fun but also with lots of puppy nipping and high energy playing. I’m sure she required much more attention than a grown dog and Jen was great with it all. Great communication before and during the 3 day stay. She kept me up-to-date and sent lots of pics. I would highly recommend Jen and her family!”

“Dara was wonderful with our two cats while we were out for the week! Even our shy boy came out for treats and play time. We really appreciated all that she did while we were gone!”
“Jonathan is fantastic. He is our “go to” sitter for our elderly cats. The last time he sat for us was a last minute request; our grandson was born two weeks early and I had just come from a vet visit where my vet suggested I watch one of my two cats to make sure she continued to get better after receiving a shot. I was a wreck; we visited our daughter over Thanksgiving, and even though it was last minute and over a holiday, as always, Jonathan immediately responded “no problem; be happy to; been missing those two.” His pictures show how comfortable my cats feel with him and when we come home they welcome us rather than “destroy things” (any cat owner will understand). He also immediately responded to my panicked texts asking how they were doing. He is wonderful!! You will be very happy if you use him. Thank you Jonathan.”
“Lauren is incredible! In a moment’s notice, she watched my sweet baby with separation anxiety while we were touring the beautiful city of Greenville. I wish she could watch her every time I needed a sitter!”
“Anna was super kind and patient with our guys. They really warmed up to her when she met them! Definitely would recommend Anna to anyone needing their loved little ones to be taken care of!”
“James was excellent! He helped us last minute and jumped right in. My dogs love him. He sent pictures of them throughout the week and made sure to let us know how they were doing. Definitely plan to book again and would recommend to friends/family!!”
“Annie was awesome! We came home from our trip to happy cats, and the real time updates and pictures while we were gone was very reassuring. This was our first time leaving our fur babies in the care of someone other than family, I would definitely use Annie again”
“Ari is super sweet and our guys really liked her. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about them when we couldn’t be home to check in on them. I definitely would recommend Ari for anyone needing their pets looked after!”
“Carrie and Kurt do a great job caring for our cats and communicate really well. We always have peace of mind when we are out of town because of their help.”
About: As a certified cat care specialist, I take pride in understanding and catering to each feline's unique personality. I have experience fostering shy and anxious cats and know how to build trust with even the most timid ones. My time are tailored to your cat's needs, whether that's play, gentle brushing, or simply providing a calm, comforting presence. I am very detail-oriented and will follow your routine closely to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you're away.
“Macie provided six days of drop-in visits for my two cats this week. What a super sitter! She was very punctual, and when her schedule needed to vary at all, she let me know ahead of time. She had every characteristic you want to see and experience in an ideal sitter. She was reliable, conscientious, thorough, and highly communicative. She sent Rover report cards immediately following each visit and asked good questions when needed. She made sure to follow all instructions about food, water, and litter box care and did a great job relaying important details about each of these areas. I looked forward to her detailed reports three times a day, and she shared fantastic photos each time. I felt assured my cats were in great hands. Macie is an outstanding sitter, and it is easy to give her a high recommendation.”
“Cassy is absolutely amazing—responsible and caring. She took the best care of my baby cat and treated her like her own. I received detailed updates, photos, and messages every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would trust her again!”
About: I have a passion for cats! I’ve loved cats since I was just a little girl, and have always had at least one cat in my life growing up. I grew up pet sitting for neighbors and friends with cats. I have 2 cats of my own, and a neighbor cat who likes to come by for extra pets. I have volunteered at multiple shelters taking care of cats and even like to go on afternoon walks to visit my furry friends in the neighborhood. I am familiar with cat behaviors, food requirements, litter care, administering medications, etc.
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have extended experience with horses, goats, cows, dogs, and cats. I regularly watch a friend's cats when they are out of town. I can feed, bathe, administer oral or topical medicine, walk, and play with pets. I currently have 1 elderly dog that is docile and friendly. I am able to care for senior dogs and dogs with additional needs or medical needs as I have experience through my own as well as caring for others' animals. I am currently saving up for my unpaid internship in music therapy. I am extremely available. My only obligations are one class on Monday's and Friday's. All other times of the week I am looking forward to helping others care for their furry loved ones. My dog truly family. She allowed on furniture and supervised play in our open yard. She loves sunbathing and playing with toys. I can, and am used to, administering medicine on a schedule. I am a long distance runner so long walks and extended play time is no issue at all! The following is a look into our daily life. We begin the day with a walk before food and medicine. We play outside and sunbathe around noon. In the later afternoon we go on an extended walk/run followed by food and medicine. Before bed we always play with her and take her out before bed. At night she often needs to go out multiple times a night so I take her whenever I hear her cues.
About: I have had dogs all my life and volunteered at the humane society while in high school and college. Neighbors and families have relied on me in the past with their kids and pets. I work part time with kids and home by lunchtime for the rest of the day. I workout in the evenings when the sun is going down and pets are welcome to join! I have a caged tennis court in my neighborhood where I play fetch with my puppy. My puppy also loves the company of other dogs.
“We left our sweet kitty Elora with Angela and her family over Christmas. We were very grateful for her to accommodate her and bring her into her families celebration. Elora seemed to get along just fine with her and her animals and came home just as content as when we dropped her off. The only thing I would mention for anyone with chemical sensitives Elora did come home smelling like a lot of artificial fragrances as did everything we dropped her off with and needed a good bath (she was not pleased about that) as we are chemical sensitive. This has nothing to do with the quality of care, and the genuine heart of Angela and her family just something to be aware of for those who have chemical sensitivities to artificial fragrances which is why I have rated 4 stars.”

“Kashawana is excellent with Attie. Attie can’t wait to get out of the car when she realizes where she is. Kashawana is super accommodating and helped me out on short notice!”
“Hayley and her husband were lifesavers for me today. I had to start a job and only had about twenty minutes to find someone. They were ready and willing. My baby girl had such a great day that she was asleep before we got to their stop sign! ??. I would definitely use them again.”

About: I am passionate about providing peace of mind to pet owners knowing they can leave their fur babies in the comfort of their own home, or mine, to be cared for while they are away, rather than a stressful boarding facility. I have experience with a large variety of pets and am very comfortable with the differences animals can have. From the shy guys who need a little patience, to the seniors who need a little extra tlc, to the puppies still learning their manners❤️ I currently work part time as a caregiver and have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy providing quality pet care for clients needing daily walks or vacation care. I pride myself on caring for others pets the same way I care for my own. Quality care, trust and reliability are of the utmost importance to me.

“Tara was great. She was waiting for Pickles at drop off and walked her several times. Frequent updates during the day were greatly appreciated. Waiting at pickup time made going home transition easy. Highly recommend Tara. She anticipates what owners want and delivers. An awesome sitter.”
“Anna was great taking care of our dog Mila, she informed us how it was going and even though it was Mila's first experience and she was nervous, Anna knew how to handle the situation. I definitely recommend Anna.”

About: I am passionate about providing excellent pet care and ensuring that every animal feels safe, healthy, and loved. I have experience caring for pets by feeding them, maintaining clean living spaces, providing exercise, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs, making their comfort and well-being my top priority.

About: Hello there! I'm Razelle, your local dog walker reporting for duty! I'm here to make sure your pup gets the best care possible. I currently do remote work and have found plenty of dedicated time to do something I really enjoy on the side. As a certified Rover pro, I provide all sorts of services. From dog walking to house sitting and drop-in visits. But what sets me apart from the rest of the sitters is my passion for your dog’s well-being. I've had countless reviews on Rover and other platforms commenting that I treat their dog as my own. If you have training regimes or a set schedule, you can count on me to get it done! I also incorporate basic obedience training during our walks [if requested]. I teach simple commands like "Heel," "Look," and "Sit" to keep your pup focused and obedient, even in the face of distractions. This can be important when facing unexpected encounters! FRIENDLINESS WITH OTHERS REQUIRED: Safety is a top priority for me, as I understand that your dog's well-being is of the utmost importance to you. For this reason, I am unable to care for dogs with a history of attacking other dogs or humans. Furthermore, if your dog exhibits any aggressive behavior during a visit, I will be unable to continue caring for them in the future. This policy ensures the safety of all dogs and humans in my care and allows me to provide the best possible service to you and your furry companion. WALKING SUPPLIES? To ensure that your dog's walk is safe and enjoyable, please make sure that your pup has a well-fitted collar or harness, and that you have poop bags and a leash at the ready. While shoes are not required, I recommend them for added safety and comfort during your dog's adventure. Thank you for helping me provide the best possible care for your pup! Disclaimer: Ensuring that your dog's collar or harness is well-fitted is crucial to their safety during walks. If I determine that the collar or harness cannot be properly adjusted to fit your dog securely, I will be unable to walk your furry friend, as this increases the risk of your dog getting loose and running away. Please be mindful of the fit of your dog's collar or harness before scheduling a walk to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your pup. SCHEDULE? Monday-Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Weekends: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change according to the sunrise/sunset* --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: *WILL YOU SEND UPDATES OF MY DOGS?* You betcha! At the end of every walk or stay, I'll send you a detailed report on how your furry friend fared. You can expect to see all the commands we used during our walk, the exciting experiences your pup had, and of course, plenty of adorable photos from our time together. Who knows, you might even find yourself printing out the report and hanging it up on your fridge for all to see! *I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY DOG BEFORE, WILL HE OR SHE BE OKAY?* It is natural for some dogs to experience separation anxiety when being cared for by someone new. As a professional dog walker, I do my utmost to ensure that each dog feels comfortable and at ease with plenty of interaction and attention. It is not uncommon for new surroundings to disrupt a dog's digestive system, resulting in loose stools. However, there is no cause for alarm as this is a normal reaction to a change in routine. Typically, after 1-2 visits, the dog's digestive system will adjust, and any issues will resolve. It is important to note that the level of reaction varies depending on the dog's unique personality and temperament. *WHAT IF MY DOG IS SPECIAL NEEDS?* I am able to care for nearly ALL special needs dogs! 1) Allergies: Please let me know of any beforehand! 2) Medicine: info must be written on a note alongside food, with dosage, etc. (non-medical injections such as insulin is okay. In the state of Virginia, medical/complex injections require specific qualifications/certifications, which I do not have.) 3) Diapers are okay 4) Blind or Deaf? I’ve cared for several blind/deaf dogs and they’re always great! 5) Paralyzed: I have experience with a pitbull who was paralyzed from the waste down due to an incident. I kept up with physical therapy, indoor accidents, cleaning/caring, hand feeding. 5) Something Else? Let me know *HOW WILL MY DOGS BE CARED FOR?* When caring for your pup during visits and stays, their personality is my top priority. I will adjust my activity level according to their specific needs to ensure their safety and comfort. In the case of inclement weather or unfortunate situations that may cause your pup to get dirty, rest assured that I will have a towel or wipes readily available to clean them up. You can trust that I will provide the utmost care for your furry friend. Disclaimer: Please note that dogs can learn from their canine companions during visits. However, I cannot be held responsible for any habits that your dog may pick up from other dogs. Additionally, I cannot be held liable if your dog decides to consume unusual debris or objects during our visit. It is essential to keep a close eye on your dog and guarantee their safety at all times. *GROOMING?* Although I don't do grooming myself, I don't mind picking up and dropping your dog off at your preferred groomer/grooming salon for $10 each way. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any injuries/damages/harm the grooming salon may cause to your dog. Please make sure that this is a groomer/salon that you TRUST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT MY DOG Meet Suki, my adorable 3 year old Blue Merle Border Collie! She's sweet as honey and loves everyone, including cats, dogs, and humans of all ages. I can't guarantee she won't lick you to death, but hey, that's just her way of saying hello! I'm pretty strict when it comes to Suki's diet and exercise routine. She gets fed twice a day with a slow feeder to avoid any mishaps, and I make sure to keep her brain active with mentally stimulating games when we're not out and about. Speaking of which, we hit the dog park 3-5 times a week and go on hikes and runs at the lake. Suki's a ball of energy and loves playing fetch, so be prepared to throw that ball a few times! Now, let me be honest with you. It's highly unlikely, but on occasion, Suki might come along for a walk or a drop-in visit and hang out in my car. Don't worry, she's super chill and won't leave any fur behind. But if you're not cool with it, just let me know, and I'll make sure she stays home, catching up on her favorite TV shows or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you want to chat about your pet concerns and their needs. Again, I am home mostly all of the day. Anything else you would want to tell me I would love to hear! Monday: 6 AM - 11 PM Tuesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Wednesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Thursday: 6 AM - 11 PM Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Saturday: 6 AM - 11 PM Sunday: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change depending on the sunrise/sunset* UNAVAILABLE DATES: August 11th, 17th, 2024 September 13th-15th, 2024 December [PENDING] As a professional pet sitter, I am willing to do some serious acrobatics to keep your home spick and span, even if your furry friend decides to have a little accident. Let me know what your preferences are, and I'll do my best to accommodate them!
“Our puppy had an amazing day at Joy’s home. In all of the pictures I was sent, she had the biggest smile running around with Joy’s sweet dogs in the yard. I would Absolutely recommend booking Joy!”
About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I work from home so I am fully available during the week and the weekends and I’m flexible with any schedule that my customers need. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly French bulldog to give your pet some company and I can create your dog any time if needed.
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I currently live with and help care for three dogs (ages 1, 3, and 12), so I’m very familiar with managing different needs! I work part-time hours, so my time is pretty open overall. My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.

About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 49 years old with a 5 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.

“Carrie and Kurt are awesome to work with! They are timely, conscientious, and the dogs and cat are always happy to see them. They are very willing to work with our schedules and are flexible if things change. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!”
About: I am passionate about providing peace of mind to pet owners knowing they can leave their fur babies in the comfort of their own home, or mine, to be cared for while they are away, rather than a stressful boarding facility. I have experience with a large variety of pets and am very comfortable with the differences animals can have. From the shy guys who need a little patience, to the seniors who need a little extra tlc, to the puppies still learning their manners❤️ I currently work part time as a caregiver and have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy providing quality pet care for clients needing daily walks or vacation care. I pride myself on caring for others pets the same way I care for my own. Quality care, trust and reliability are of the utmost importance to me.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from small breeds to large, so I’m comfortable caring for pups of all sizes and personalities.

Again, my work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can find times throughout the day/week/weekend that work the best for you! In my home I have an extremely friendly and energetic 11 month old black lab, who would love to be your dog’s play mate. I also have a size large crate available if that is something your dog requires. Normally, my dog and I go out for 3 or 4 30ish minute walks a day, accompanied by lots of fetch and tug, and on weekends love going on longer hikes!

“This was Cheatnut’s first time away from home and Kashawna made this experience amazing for him.. She took excellent care of him and gave updates and pics of how he was doing.. Very nice family and also very knowledgeable.. Thanks again and I will definitely use her in the future”
“Jen was great with my puppy Becca! Our 12 week old puppy can be lots of fun but also with lots of puppy nipping and high energy playing. I’m sure she required much more attention than a grown dog and Jen was great with it all. Great communication before and during the 3 day stay. She kept me up-to-date and sent lots of pics. I would highly recommend Jen and her family!”

“You know your dog is happy with your sitter when you go the next time and he pulls on his leash to get into her house! We are so happy with Shawna’s care of Rufus while we were away. Also we were very thankful she noticed a hotspot under his armpit and got him well on the way to recovery before we returned. Rufus will definitely be back! 😊”
“Mishael was amazing--so welcoming & accommodating--which was a blessing bc our dog was stinky! We tried to get her bathed & groomed but Kotie wouldn't have it, & we needed to get out of town on short notice. Very thankful for Mishael!”
“I’m very happy with the care Rufo received. It was my first time leaving him with sitters, and they made me feel completely at ease. They kept me updated with photos and videos, and I could tell Rufo was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Our bernedoodle loved staying with Sierra! She has a large fenced yard for dogs to run and play in. Izzy was sad when she came back home and did not have any children to play with anymore. We knew Izzy was in good hands while we were away!”
