“Paige and her family were AMAZING!!! Gracie (my pup) and i did a meet and greet prior to booking and from that moment i knew she was going to be in great hands. Paige sent adorable pics everyday and went above and beyond by with all the love and playtime, even added an egg to Gracie’s supper (something i mentioned i do at home but to keep things simple for Paige, i didn’t bring any). Upon pick up, Gracie was excited to see me but not over anxious to leave, this told me she was in amazing, loving hands all weekend. ❤️”
“Excellent my experience, first time using this app, worried that everything is fine with my dog, but Corey and Lauren gave me peace of mind, sending me photos and videos every day, very grateful to them”
“Krysten and her family were so great with my dog! Her kiddos even played fetch with my dog and kept her busy. I really appreciated her picture, and even video while I was away. My dog is somewhat timid but as soon as Krysten opened her door my dog was off and felt welcomed in for her stay, thank you!!”
“Our two pugs must have had a wonderful time because they came home calm and tired! :) Jayne was communicated well and was patient with all our questions! The rest of the family is welcoming and treated Walter and Ruby very well! We will definitely be asking them again!”
“Anna provided good care for my 2 dogs. She kept us updated with pictures and their feeding at regular intervals. She is very timely with her communications - be it questions from us or proactive updates on her end. We will definitely consider her for future needs.”
“Mikayla was so kind when I had a family emergency and needed to leave town in a hurry. My puppy had a great time (she's told me all about it) and the family was really nice. ❤️”
“Christina was wonderful! Our dog is older and a rescue so new people/places can bother her but she settled right in at Christina’s home and did great. Christina showered her with attention & love. She was flexible with drop-off & pick-up times which was helpful. This was our first Rover experience - we will certainly use the service again & hopefully Christina will be available as she would be our first choice!”
“Highly recommend Melissa. Her replies are quick, within moments, she cared for Addie for the day and I returned to a very calm happy pup. It was cute when we arrived her mini Aussie ran out to greet my dog and was very sweet and put us both at ease quickly. Will book again.”
“Nichole and her sons Jackson and William were awesome!! Buddy loved them.. they sent pictures and videos of them playing and napping and running in their huge yard several times throughout the 2 1/2 wks watching him! He was treated so well we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home 😜 We were so grateful for the great care! They are a great family with a great home! Thanx so much!”
“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”
“Jessie had the best time!! Amber sent updated photos on a routine basis, let me know how Jesse was doing, and was great at responding. She and her husband are super great! 10/10 will be using again. :)”
“Ana was always quick at communicating a very flexible with our crazy work schedule! We appreciated her so much! Our dog seemed so happy and healthy after we got her after an extended time away!”
“Larysa was so kind, patient, attentive to my pet. She and her husband are both caring people, have a clean, calm home, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog. I will book again with her.”
“Michelle and her family have been a godsend to our family. Not only have their family been wonderful to work with, our dog gets treated just like family while there. Her son has even formed a special bond with our dog. I highly recommend her and we won't ever look back at doing the typical dog kennels again!”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there again.”
“Excellent experience. We were nervous about leaving our baby and Annette made it easy and cared well for him while we were gone. Definitely will be asking her to take him again if we need service in the future.”
“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”

“Olivia is absolutely fantastic! We have some pretty skittish and shy kitties and they took to her like nobody else. We got daily notifications, photos, and even a few videos. We'll definitely choose Olivia in the future if we need a cat sitter again.”
“a wonderful sitter with a great amount of care put into her work! followed care instructions perfectly. would leave my baby in her care again! good picture updates and detailed notes were left for every visit.”
About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.
“I'm a newbie here on Rover, so I was nervous to try it out. Jessica made the whole experience amazing! She was clear with details and communication, shared photos every day of my babies, and gave them so much love and attention while I was traveling. Thanks, Jessica! I'll definitely book again. :)”
“Magdalen did a great job with our 9 week old kitten! It was our kitten's first time home without us, and Magdalen helped us all feel less anxious. She sent us multiple updates and pictures, and did a great job with kitten enrichment! We will definitely book her again!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with extensive experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and needs. For six years, I fostered dogs ranging from tiny puppies to senior and special-needs dogs, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments and care requirements. I also volunteered with the Humane Society for five years, including three years on the Board of Directors, which strengthened my commitment to animal welfare. At home, I currently have three dogs—a small, medium, and giant breed (English Mastiff!)—so I’m comfortable with everything from gentle companions to big, energetic pups. Your dog will be cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’ve structured my schedule specifically to be available for lunchtime drop-ins and walks during the week. This allows me to give dogs a reliable midday break when their owners can’t make it home. I also keep my weekends fully open, so I can provide flexible care, extra visits, or longer walks as needed. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life, and I’m happy to build my routine around giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow your routine as closely as possible to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get fresh water, a potty break, and any feeding or medications they need. I take the time to give them attention, playtime, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and safe while you’re away. I’m careful to respect your home, follow all instructions you provide, and keep things clean and tidy. I also send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide calm, consistent care that helps your pet feel secure in their familiar environment.
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! They were reliable, kind, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: I live with two goofy boys, Rusty and Dusty! While I didn't grow up with cats, they've taught me so much about caring for different personalities. I've also cat sat for friends and family, and I love making sure every cat feels safe, loved, fed, and entertained while you're away!
About: I’m a calm, nurturing, and reliable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up with pets and currently have both a cat and a dog, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust!
About: I haven't had many cats in my own home, but volunteering at the Humane Society has taught me a lot about caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I understand that cats can take time to warm up, and I’m happy to let them come to me on their own terms. I’ll make sure your cat receives plenty of attention, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and care that follows their normal routine.
About: I have been in the dog business for 5 years now. I started out working at a boarding training and daycare facility. Then continue to live up there and became manager. I am CGC certified in dog training and behavior. I have two labs of my own that I love. I also am small animal pet CPR certified. I don’t have any issues with pets who need special care. With the being meds or and other issues. I grew up with 5 dogs in the house ranging from. A Yorkipoo to a beagle to a lab. I have trained and cared for multiple breeds and behaviors. I see pets as part of the family and will go above and beyond for all our furry four legged friends.

“Oliver loved being at Lauren and Corey’s house. They took great care of him and made our first experience with Rover wonderful. We will definitely be contacting them again when we need care for him in the future.”
“Anna and her family are great! We used her daycare services while we had some work being done at our house and she was super flexible when we needed to adjust days last minute. Anna takes such good care of our pup, I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi everyone - I was a mom to older English Bulldogs who have recently passed and understand the need for a sitter at times. I used to use a dog sitter myself during the day and understand how hard it can be to get home sometimes! Now that my doggos are no longer with me, I would love to help you out. I work from home so can accept daycare or overnight boarding at my place. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced in backyard for all of the potty breaks and I can also bring them on short walks if requested. I live in a zero-entry, one-level home with no steps which is great for pets with bad joints.
“What a phenomenal first experience with Rover & Christina! She was kind, welcoming, very understanding and genuine! She has a beautiful fenced in yard and my boy had a blast. She sent pictures and updates. Hopefully she and her daughter will be available the next time we're in town. Excellent job!!”
“Ana did a great job watching our pup while we were visiting from out of town. She was understanding and responsive to our dog who was upset and needy due travel and changing environments. We hope to be back soon!”
About: Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm so happy to be here! I have 15 years of experience caring for and walking my own dogs, and sitting for friends and family. I know the importance of getting some exercise in for your fur friend, and how challenging it can be to find the time some days! So I am here to help, let me take care of that task for you! I enjoy walking and being outdoors and I'd love to have your pup accompany me! I also own my own home with a fully fenced in backyard, and I work full time from home, so if you need boarding or daycare services, my home would be great for you! I have two pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs, so if you are ok with that, we'd love to care for and keep your pup with us, too! I work from home full time, so it’s easy to attend to my pups (and yours!) during the workday. I can make a lunch hour walk or drop work easily. And afternoons and evenings are pretty open! I have a fully fenced in yard and I am able to let my dogs out as often as they need, and they would be perfect companions for your pups when staying here as well
About: I work remotely so I’m home most of the day☺️ This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day! My husband and I are both dog lovers and have a dog of our own, Carter, a 9 y.o. black lab/blue heeler mix. She’s very friendly, easygoing, and gets along great with other dogs🐶 We don’t have kids, so our home is calm and quiet, and the dogs get lots of attention🥰 They’re welcome on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home, and we have a large fenced yard where they can safely run and play. We also live in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for regular walks! I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and do my BEST to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here🥰 Feel free to reach out with any questions about availability or how boarding/daycare works, I’m always happy to help!☺️ Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs lots of attention🥰 Walks and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine I only take up to 2 dogs per day to keep things calm, comfortable, and low-stress for everyone. I treat every dog like family and work from home, so they get plenty of attention and supervision! My home is clean, pet-friendly, with a large fenced yard for safe playtime, and I always follow each dog’s routine to help them feel at ease🙂

About: Professionalism and effective communication will set me apart from others on the site. Of course, I love dogs and cats, but I also enjoy people and take great pride in being dependable, someone you can trust. If you choose to work with me it will be a great experience for your K-9 and for you too! I will be available for boarding on weekends, and available early mornings and evenings, 7 days a week. Under special circumstances I may be able to expand my availability for boarding to weekdays, but only after building rapport for an agreeable period of time. Kindness and patience are the hallmarks of the care I will provide to the pets under my supervision. I am a loving father of three kids. I was a classroom teacher for 20 years. I grew up with pets. My respect and affection for animals is genuine. Most importantly, I do not think that I know better than you concerning the care of your beloved pet. My attention and the care I provide will align with your wishes and expectations.
“Mikayla was amazing with RJ. She communicated very well about the happenings with RJ. The daily pictures helped ease my mind that he really was on. Not that I ever had a doubt, but RJ does have an opinion of his own and will let you know all about it. Each day, he came home very tuckered out.”
“Josie was exceptional. Her communication was outstanding and her compassion was just as great. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, which really shows how much she cares for others' fur babies. I recieved lots of candid, sweet photos too. I could tell Honey was in good hands and truly enjoyed her time away. Josie paid close attention to routines and details, and was so attentive to Honey while she was in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better last-minute sitter. She not only made me feel secure in my decision but also made Honey feel safe and at home. I'm sure she'll sleep hard tonight after today's adventures. I have nothing but good things to say about Josie and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🩷”
“Shayla did a great job with Copper! My dog is very timid and anxious with new places & people, and she was very patient with him and understanding. She sent updated and pics of him throughout the day to update me on how he was doing!”
“We had a great experience! Melissa watched our dog for a few hours, and everything went smoothly. Communication was easy, she was friendly and reliable, and our dog was well cared for.”
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for most of my life. I currently do not have a dog in the home, so I can focus full-time on your furry family members. I have a lot of experience with pit blends, as well as small dogs. I work freelance from home, and currently have plenty of time to spend giving scritches and going out to play. I am also a runner, and would love to take any dogs with me who love to run. We have a fenced in yard, and a dog room in our basement for naps. We also have a couch in the main living area that's just for dogs, but they are also welcome to sit on our couch or in our recliner chair. We live very close to the bike trail and several parks, and walking distance to the downtown dog park. I also have a dog-safe car for trips to Spencer or Family Dog Park or special trips to The Splash Bark.
“Emily and her pups were amazing sitters for our boy Sonoma today! We were nervous about leaving him with someone for the first time but after chatting with Emily and meeting her and her 2 dogs for a few minutes the day before the planned sitting…we were totally confident that he was in good hands. Emily is such a kind hearted person with a genuine love for dogs and it shows in her care for her own. Sonoma immediately warmed up to her and the 3 puppies were able to have a great time together. She was considerate of our routine/habits and sent pictures all day long, which we were so thankful to have! Sonoma didn’t want to leave Emily’s house and even sat in protest on her porch. We would absolutely love/plan to use Emily again and would recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic care in Paradise!”

About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently going to be doing rover full time so I'll always have availability for your pets. Also I'm almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.
“Lauren was an absolute lifesaver. She accepted my booking on very short notice and was at my house within 15 minutes, which I truly appreciated more than I can say. She was prompt, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands, especially in a last minute situation. I highly recommend her!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, building trusted relationships through reliability, patience, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
About: Hi, my name is Ana! I don't think there has ever been a time in my life when I haven't had dogs, which is why I truly believe your pet deserves to be cared for like they are part of the family. I have two dogs of my own, Ziggy and Porky, who love dogs of all sizes and even cats! They are always ready to make a new friend and have some fun. If your pet is older, more independent, or simply isn't interested in playing with other dogs, that's completely okay! Ziggy and Porky are great about giving dogs their space when they need it. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while still getting the exercise, attention, and activity that's appropriate for them. My goal is for your pet to feel at home, have fun, and receive the same patience and care I would want for my own dogs. Im currently available, so I’ll be able to take care of your dog or dogs. I do have two dogs of my own Ziggy and porky, both are friendly with everyone. Ziggy, porky, and I frequently go on walks to different parks. We travel quite frequently and are always checking different areas out. If you have a preferred area we go that’s ok!

For day care, I keep a close eye on playtime so everyone's safe and having fun!

Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I always make sure to follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any special needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed when needed, and make sure doors and gates are always properly closed. I also believe communication is very important, so I am happy to send updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they are away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since the age of 10. Family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs for short and long periods of time. I work a part time job while taking college classes at USD. I still find time in my day to play with and care for the animals I’m trusted with. I have a crate for dogs or a comfy bed for them to sleep on. I don’t have a fenced yard but do have a long chain dogs can use on the side of the house.
About: Hey! I’m Jada, all my life i’ve always been surrounded by animals 🐶 Taking the best care of pets is something i strive each day to accomplish! I’m very familiar with dogs & cats of all ages! In 2024 I began working in the dog training industry and have come to learn many interesting skills, some of those include; how to effectively communicate with animals, properly read body language, and build a connection with any pet! Currently, i’m working part time as an accredited dog trainer at Petsmart! I’ve been at this establishment, building my credibility and skills, for 2+ years! Properly reading a pets body language is something i’ve always been good at! Making sure to always respect a pets boundaries is very important in terms of building a successful, positive, and welcoming relationship between the pet and I. As a dog trainer, i acknowledge the important of mental stimulation, and physical stimulation that all dogs require in order to live a happy and healthy life, I also understand that life can be busy! Making it hard to find those little in - between moments to give your pet that little extra loving you know they need! That’s where I step in…and lend a paw 🐾😉!

“Paige and her family were AMAZING!!! Gracie (my pup) and i did a meet and greet prior to booking and from that moment i knew she was going to be in great hands. Paige sent adorable pics everyday and went above and beyond by with all the love and playtime, even added an egg to Gracie’s supper (something i mentioned i do at home but to keep things simple for Paige, i didn’t bring any). Upon pick up, Gracie was excited to see me but not over anxious to leave, this told me she was in amazing, loving hands all weekend. ❤️”
“Excellent my experience, first time using this app, worried that everything is fine with my dog, but Corey and Lauren gave me peace of mind, sending me photos and videos every day, very grateful to them”
“Krysten and her family were so great with my dog! Her kiddos even played fetch with my dog and kept her busy. I really appreciated her picture, and even video while I was away. My dog is somewhat timid but as soon as Krysten opened her door my dog was off and felt welcomed in for her stay, thank you!!”
“Anna provided good care for my 2 dogs. She kept us updated with pictures and their feeding at regular intervals. She is very timely with her communications - be it questions from us or proactive updates on her end. We will definitely consider her for future needs.”
“Mikayla was so kind when I had a family emergency and needed to leave town in a hurry. My puppy had a great time (she's told me all about it) and the family was really nice. ❤️”
“Christina was wonderful! Our dog is older and a rescue so new people/places can bother her but she settled right in at Christina’s home and did great. Christina showered her with attention & love. She was flexible with drop-off & pick-up times which was helpful. This was our first Rover experience - we will certainly use the service again & hopefully Christina will be available as she would be our first choice!”
“Nichole and her sons Jackson and William were awesome!! Buddy loved them.. they sent pictures and videos of them playing and napping and running in their huge yard several times throughout the 2 1/2 wks watching him! He was treated so well we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home 😜 We were so grateful for the great care! They are a great family with a great home! Thanx so much!”
“Jessie had the best time!! Amber sent updated photos on a routine basis, let me know how Jesse was doing, and was great at responding. She and her husband are super great! 10/10 will be using again. :)”

“Larysa was so kind, patient, attentive to my pet. She and her husband are both caring people, have a clean, calm home, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog. I will book again with her.”
“Michelle and her family have been a godsend to our family. Not only have their family been wonderful to work with, our dog gets treated just like family while there. Her son has even formed a special bond with our dog. I highly recommend her and we won't ever look back at doing the typical dog kennels again!”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there again.”
“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”
“Josie watched our dog for four days while we were gone on vacation. She was in communication with us throughout our trip. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. From the pics we received, our dog looked like she had a lot of fun playing and relaxing too. She has been sleeping since we got her home.😊 I would book Josie again.”
“My 2 pups stayed with Rachel while my family and I relocated from Arizona. She was a wonderful sitter, sent tons of pics and videos, and was very flexible when times were weird or we extended by a day. Def use her again!”
“We are SO happy with the care Marnie/Jeffery & family gave to our Luna! They went above and beyond for our girl and kept us updated as they watched her! We couldn’t be happier and will definitely bring our girl back to them! This was our first time using Rover and we could be happier with the care Luna got and how affordable!! THANK YOU!”
“I booked Justin last minute and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we connected, he was super responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. My dog immediately felt comfortable, and I got regular updates (with the cutest photos!) that gave me total peace of mind. It’s clear Justin truly loves animals and takes his work seriously. When we got home, my pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel beyond lucky to have found such a fantastic sitter on short notice. Highly, highly recommend – will definitely book again!”
“Alexis is super sweet! Karl absolutely loved his time at their house! He played with their dog and was having the time of his life! I will absolutely book with them again!”
