“Lola seemed to really enjoy her stay with Tish. She had lots of sweet furry friends to hang out with while we were away. She came back to us calm and relaxed like she'd been at a spa. I highly recommend Tish as a sitter. She is clearly experienced with many different dog breeds and has a perfect demeanor for putting your pup at ease. You can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands.”
“Brandi is awesome! She took great care of my pup and sent really nice updates and photos each day. My pup seemed to fit in really well with her and her family and I felt confident that his needs were taken care of. Will definitely book again. Thanks Brandi!”
“Echo was fantastic! She was great with my puppy even tho he’s kind of crazy and energetic. she was great with communicating with me and was very respectful. will definitely be using her again!”
“Our dog loved staying with Rachel & her family!! So much so that he didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. 😂 Rachel was communicative and lovely and she took amazing care of our pup. We’re always a little anxious when we leave him, but it was clear from the many pictures and texts that he was well cared for, happy, and safe. We will absolutely be repeat clients.”
“Christina and her family are amazing! Phebs and I felt so comfortable right away, and I felt very reassured leaving my new dog there. She has separation anxiety, but they had the perfect environment for her, and she did fantastic! They have a great set up for whatever your dog needs, and I love the pictures and updates! I think she is almost sad to be home, she really had a great time there! I will definitely use them everytime I need to go out of town.”
“Great job. Very personable with us as well as good with the dogs. Everyone got along I clueing his dog Ginger and the other guest dog. Dogs made themselves at home in as well as outside the home. We will definitely use George again.”
“Joe was amazing with both of my dogs. He can handle my big german shepherd and my little pug. He provided pictures and updates throughout their boarding and had many activities for them to keep them entertained. He gave them their special diet and provided medication to my shepherd and they were happy and healthy on my return. I will be using Joe again whenever I need to board my dogs.”
“Alora was super great! My little old man had such a blast and is now pleasantly tired! She did well keeping me updated with lots of pictures! 10/10 Will be booking with her again!”
“I am very pleased with Megan and Chris, and their care of my girl, Dolly. I love the fact that Dolly was allowed on the couch and bed, just like at home. It was reassuring to see all the pictures and just how much fun she had during her two week stay, Having Poppy to play with was definitely a big plus, thank you. I will not hesitate to rebook with Megan and Chris.”
“Jamie was amazing while taking care of Luna! From the very beginning, she was incredibly welcoming and made Luna feel completely at home. She sent me daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jamie was also super responsive, answering all of my questions and keeping me informed the entire time. Luna looked so happy and comfortable—almost like she was on her own little vacation! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a caring and attentive caregiver for their pet.”
“She kept me up-to-date on my dogs! They did puzzles, went for walks and had a blast! Definitely recommend and would book again 🩷my babies were fast asleep the entire 4 hour drive back home!!”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”
“Pam and Adam were the perfect caretakers for our dog. Pam was great about communication and sent me pictures and updates daily. Our dog is a cuddly very people oriented dog and this was the perfect setting for her to get a lot of love while we were away.”
“Angela was a great host for our English Cocker Spaniel, Poppy! She is clearly an animal lover and loves on Poppy as if she were her own. Her communication was fantastic and sent us cute pics each day. So glad we found Angela!”
“Emily took such good care of our fur baby. We could see how happy he was in the daily photos she sent us. Great communication before and during our trip. When we had a last minute change in travel plans, Emily was very gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be asking her to care for Bear again.”
“Crystal is wonderful! She went above and beyond to answer any questions or worries I had. She was quick to respond when I asked how my pup was doing, and my dog came back exhausted. He had a blast playing with the other pups. I definitely recommend Crystal and her family to watch over your furry friend. Definitely going to be a returning customer.”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”

“We always hope Nicole is available when we need a sitter. She is always so sweet and patient with our shy kitties and helps with our TNR cats that we feed too.”
“Kearsten is awesome! She has cared for our 2 kitties several times, and always makes things easy, reliable and worry-free! You can 100% count on Kearsten to take lovely care of your pets and home. Kearsten is always timely and communicative, and sends plenty of pics! Highly recommended!!! :)”
“We had a great experience with Katie when we were out of town for a week and she was stopping by the house 3x a day to look our three cats. We had no problems at all, she showed up when she said she would and sent enough updates to know everything was going well without overloading us. Next time we head on a trip, we will be happy to use her again.”
“Huntter is absolutely fantastic!!! He came over before the visit to walk through everything and meet the kitties. He is very smart and easy to talk to, and picked up on all of our routines and instructions very easily. When it came time for the trip, Huntter was incredibly punctual and communicative. He sent pics, took amazing care of our cats, and also some various other things our house needed while we were gone for a week. We came home to everything looking perfect, and most importantly, two very happy healthy kitties! We HIGHLY recommend Huntter and we are so thankful for the wonderful care for Peach and Ripple!”
About: I’ve had my own cat now for about 4 years and I am in love with every kitty I’ve ever met. Similar to my dog sitting experience, I have catsit for various neighbors and friends over the years and can handle them in any shape and form :)
“Cayla was great! She took great care of my very shy cat and even got him to warm up to her :) She was also so flexible with my unexpected change in travel plans. Highly recommend - thanks Cayla!”
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”
About: I offer extensive experience in feline care, rooted in a lifetime of raising cats and 12 years of dedicated ownership of a British Bombay. My background is anchored by a 10-year commitment to the Southern Pines Animal Shelter, where I specialized in comprehensive care for both kittens and adult cats. I am proficient in kennel management and clinical tasks, including the administration of vaccinations. This combination of long-term personal ownership and a decade of high-volume shelter experience has given me a deep understanding of feline health and behavior.
About: Full of life, experience in this new client stories about cats are non stopping. It’s beautiful and different than others, have feeling like human and breathe with love and respect plus affectionate is a must.
“This was our first experience with Hal for our cats Leo and Ruby. We were impressed with everything. His communication was great and the daily reports with pictures are excellent! Thank you so much Hal for taking care of Leo and Ruby!”
About: Since I was in elementary school, my family has had Great Danes. I believe that big dogs in particular are a testament to how much we are capable of loving our pets. Like most pets, they will fill something in your life that you didn’t know was missing, but they will also cost you blood, sweat and tears- and sometimes this is multiplied according to their size. Giant breeds have much shorter life spans, as some of us know, and this seems to only heighten the pet parent experience. Unfortunately, in 2021, our family had one of our Danes fall ill and pass away while being boarded at a local facility. She was only two years old and we were completely devastated. Since then, I’ve come to realize how incredibly important it is to leave your pets under the care of someone who will be entirely present with them, tend to all of their needs, and communicate as much as possible. I can ensure that I will be that person if you choose me to be your sitter. I have been pet-sitting on and off since 2019 but dedicated three years entirely to the profession after 2022. During those three years I gained experience with dog breeds ranging from every size and age- and even a few cats and kittens. Most recently, I have had a full time job and could not continue to pet-sit, but now I have time to return to it and am looking forward to bringing on new clients. In my profile you can find photos of my own dog- Columba. Him and his litter were brought to a shelter soon after they were born and I had the opportunity to care for them until they were old enough to be adopted out. Obviously I had to keep one :) At the same time, my family brought Indigo home. Since then she has had a litter of puppies of her own and that’s how we ended up with Lula, her daughter. They are mess. Lol. P.S. I am an artists and I’m here if you need a pet portrait too! At the moment my schedule is very open! Just reach out to me with some dates and I will let you know if they do or don't work for me :) I'll do whatever you or your pet requests! I'm very used to needy dogs as my Great Danes will bark or hit me with their giant paws if they are not getting enough attention. They also sometimes refuse to drink out of a bowl and will whine at the kitchen sink until it is turned on for them to drink from. At my home, we have an electric fence, but I tend to go outside with them. I also have lots of experience with walking dogs after living in Chicago, as well.
“Sydney was great with our cat, he was happy and well cared for while we were away. Also good communication during visits so we knew he was doing well. Happy to recommend her to anyone!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”

“Amazing experience!! Needed last minute doggie daycare while I was away at a baby shower for 4-5 hours which was longer than I wanted to leave my 8 week old Winston in a kennel. Rachel was available and able to help. So blessed and thankful to be able to do what I needed to do without worrying about him. He had fun, she fed him when he got hungry, and he slept until I got back. She sent updated pics too which eased my mind he was in great hands! What a blessing and lifesaver she is. Will definitely be using her service again.”
“I’ve used Joseph a few times now, and he’s been amazing every time. My puppy has so much fun and always comes home tired (in the best way). Joseph is reliable, caring, and someone I fully trust with my dog.”
“George and his family took excellent care of my dog, Fennec. I got regular updates and a couple of photos, so I never worried. My nervous boy, Fenn, settled in easily with George and the kids. I will definitely take Fenn there again. I highly recommend!”
“If you’re looking for a sitter who will truly go above and beyond, Justin is the one. I have a 3 year old Lab with endless amounts of energy and Justin handles him better than I could have ever hoped for. Every time our dog goes with Justin it turns into an epic adventures with tons of exercise and stimulation. The best part about it is that Justin constantly updates and sends us pictures. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Dominique was wonderful! Our sitter fell through at the last minute and she took great care of our boy for the day with updates throughout! Would leave him with her again for daycare! 😊”

“Lucky has stayed with Angela for "Doggy Daycare" the past several weeks. Angela does a great job taking care of Lucky! Lucky enjoys playing with their sweet dog Lucy and the rest of the family. Each day, Lucky is excited to be dropped off at Angela's. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends, family, and neighbors animals my whole life! Dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals I take care of quite often. I have extensive knowledge regarding care for all species, their diets, their behavior, medical care and more. I have a deep love for making pets feel safe and happy, and avoiding stress for them as much as possible and I can work with whatever behavioral needs they may have. I work at an animal shelter as well, and I’m currently in school to become a veterinary technician. With these resources I am very knowledgeable in every aspect of animal care and am equipped with my resources and training to ensure safety and comfortably with and from your animal. Animal care is every part of my life and what I want to devote my life to. I’m working at an animal shelter part time for the summer, so I can fit in morning feeds and be there all afternoon and night for your animals! The safety of animals is my top concern. At my current job at the shelter I’m well informed on safety protocols for all animals, especially reactive or scared dogs. I’m very comfortable and knowledgeable in this care. And that goes for any species. I have two cats and two reptiles at home, and I take every precaution for feeding and interacting between all of them to avoid any tension or stress on my animals. I will be sure to do that for your pets as well!
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring her to care for my furry friends and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep love and respect for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with my dogs. I was able to enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind, knowing that my dogs were in great hands. When I returned, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I can't recommend Sonja and Yolanda highly enough - if you're looking for responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters, look no further!”
About: As a deeply empathetic and compassionate mental health professional, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet sitting services that cater to the emotional and physical well-being of your pets. With a Doctorate degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling with internship training in animal-assisted modalities, I bring a unique blend of expert care and emotional insight to my role. Throughout my post-graduate internship, I gained invaluable experience working with therapy animals to assist children and adults, enhancing their emotional and social well-being. This role not only deepened my expertise in animal behavior and welfare but also reinforced my natural inclinations for empathy and understanding, allowing me to connect with animals in a profound and meaningful way. In my professional pet sitting services, I apply these traits by ensuring each pet receives nurturing attention, recognizing their individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I strive to create a comforting and stimulating environment, where your pets feel understood, cared for, and safe. I am prepared for both short-term and long-term assignments, passionately committed to offering your pets a loving and attentive experience. I work remotely and have a moderately flexible schedule with a few set tasks throughout. Depending on location and need, I can be somewhat flexible. I prioritize creating a nurturing and safe environment whether at my home or a client's home. I leverage my background in psychology and animal-assisted therapy to understand and cater to the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. This includes maintaining a structured routine with regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep pets active and engaged. I also provide constant companionship and emotional support, ensuring that pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their temporary environment. My approach is flexible and adaptable, designed to meet the specific requirements of each pet and the preferences of their owners.
“Would definitely be a repeat customer of Tatiana’s! She menu was accommodating, friendly, great location, and better yet our dog loved her and her sweet dog, Kairo!”
“I cannot express how pleased I am with Ann, Bruno, and Reagan!! I feel so lucky to have found them. My dog typically takes a little to warm up to new people, but she feels so comfortable in their home. She loves going there and I feel so at ease when I drop her off. They are extremely accommodating with my schedule, send updates throughout the day, and love my dog like she is their own!! They are so so great, but don’t book with them so their calendar stays open for us!! 😊”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and treat as a priority in my schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day.

About: I've always had a passion for caring for animals & have had them in my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior animals with special needs. I volunteered for several years at a local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for cats and walking/training dogs. Having had an elderly dog myself, I know how to handle the specific needs of older pets too - managing mobility issues, administering medications, & ensuring they are comfortable and well cared for. I know just how hard it can be to have someone new care for your pet, so I prioritize communication. I'm happy to always send pics + regular updates to give you peace of mind & help you feel connected! Having a cat that needs fairly specific care, I'm committed to knowing & following your pet's specific care. If they need an active schedule with lots of walks and playtime or gentle care due to age or health concerns, I'll ensure they get the best attention possible. My goal is to make sure you & your pet are happy & comfortable while I’m watching them, so I always treat every animal as if they were my own fur baby. I have a very flexible work schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it's regular check-ins or walks/feeding. I’m able to ensure they get all the attention, exercise, & care they need :) As an attentive animal lover - whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime - I pay close attention & follow your pets usual routine. I take safety seriously - securing doors, gates, and following any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for in their own familiar environment!

About: I’ve had my dog, Teddy, since I was about 7, and he’s a big bundle of fur. I’ve taken care of various cats/dogs for friends, neighbors, and family throughout the years. If your dog requires extra exercise, I am a college athlete who is happy to go on runs with them, as well as taking them to parks, etc. for extra playtime. If you have any specific requests, feel free to ask! During the summer, I’m free most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. I often have practice in the evenings, but other than that, I’m mostly free I’m happy to chill all day with you pets or exercise them multiple times a day depending on what they need. I have a dog and a cat myself (I live with my parents so taking care of them at the same time isn’t a concern), and know how to give animals LOTS of attention :)

About: To address the gap in pet care; I stopped using Rover after I had my son in 2017. I started up again when he was a little older then moved to Mexico in 2019 and was there when I had my daughter. When I moved back to the states I kept them in school in Mexico and the daily drive to and from Tijuana. Made it so I wasn't comfortable taking in pets as I wouldnt be able to provide the care I strive for. I am now homeschooling them so no more daily crossings into Tijuana and after losing one of my own beloved pets have made my way back to Rover, now in 2023. I grew up with dogs from Pitbulls to Jacks, I currently own a Lab mix, a Boxer and cats. I have also had cats for those mixed family homes and am comfortable providing medication to pets if needed. I have a little GPS device. It's meant to find my phone buy I have used it on my dog for outings and will more than happily use it for your pooch for extra protection. I received my dog training certificate from Animal Behavior College and have continued learning through continued education, shadowing, and real life experience. I treat your fur babies as my own and am constantly expanding my knowledge of dogs. You can bet your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule and homeschool my 3 and 5 year olds. I have the liberty to provide those constant outings, cuddling and loving for your pets. I ensure the safety of pets in my care with baby/pet gates and a brand new latch on my back gate. I always walking on leash and never off. I do have an etended 30 ft. lead and harness as well as a stake for playing fetch out in open areas. I do try to keep to as close a schedule with your pet as they have at home.

About: Hello! My name is Kim, I am 26 years old and have a steady job at Ulta Beauty with a pretty set schedule working full time. I started working for Rover in April of 2017 because I absolutely love dogs and have a passion for them! :) I have been a dog owner for as long as I can remember and love hanging out with all kinds of pups! I love them all and they absolutely have my heart! I have experience with all different sizes, shapes, and personalities of dogs and love every pup equally! I've handled dogs as large as Great Danes and as small as chihuahuas! Unfortunately I am unavailable at the moment for bringing dogs to my own home, my pup is older and I am unwilling to board her or keep her locked up for long periods of time. Thank you for understanding. I have trained and dog-sat dogs as well for many years and treat every dog as though they are my own! I love to send many photos and updates of your babies to you so it feels like you're there with us even when you're away! I can't wait to meet your pups! Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have! I work full time with Ulta Beauty and I absolutely love it! I can work some pretty crazy hours but always a 8 hour shift! I am open to any needs of your fur babies! If you let me know what they are and we can work it out together!
About: I am an avid animal lover. I specialize in high energy dogs. I have been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life. I have my own dog who i adore. My dog is very high energy and also has to take medication everyday. I trained my dog to sit, lay down, down, stay and leave it. Your animal will be treated like family. I currently work from home and have my own hours. I like to take my dog for walks and go to the dog park. I am flexible. I have a friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. She loves going to the dog park. I would love to take your dog for walks all the time.
About: Since I was in elementary school, my family has had Great Danes. I believe that big dogs in particular are a testament to how much we are capable of loving our pets. Like most pets, they will fill something in your life that you didn’t know was missing, but they will also cost you blood, sweat and tears- and sometimes this is multiplied according to their size. Giant breeds have much shorter life spans, as some of us know, and this seems to only heighten the pet parent experience. Unfortunately, in 2021, our family had one of our Danes fall ill and pass away while being boarded at a local facility. She was only two years old and we were completely devastated. Since then, I’ve come to realize how incredibly important it is to leave your pets under the care of someone who will be entirely present with them, tend to all of their needs, and communicate as much as possible. I can ensure that I will be that person if you choose me to be your sitter. I have been pet-sitting on and off since 2019 but dedicated three years entirely to the profession after 2022. During those three years I gained experience with dog breeds ranging from every size and age- and even a few cats and kittens. Most recently, I have had a full time job and could not continue to pet-sit, but now I have time to return to it and am looking forward to bringing on new clients. In my profile you can find photos of my own dog- Columba. Him and his litter were brought to a shelter soon after they were born and I had the opportunity to care for them until they were old enough to be adopted out. Obviously I had to keep one :) At the same time, my family brought Indigo home. Since then she has had a litter of puppies of her own and that’s how we ended up with Lula, her daughter. They are mess. Lol. P.S. I am an artists and I’m here if you need a pet portrait too! At the moment my schedule is very open! Just reach out to me with some dates and I will let you know if they do or don't work for me :) I'll do whatever you or your pet requests! I'm very used to needy dogs as my Great Danes will bark or hit me with their giant paws if they are not getting enough attention. They also sometimes refuse to drink out of a bowl and will whine at the kitchen sink until it is turned on for them to drink from. At my home, we have an electric fence, but I tend to go outside with them. I also have lots of experience with walking dogs after living in Chicago, as well.
“Hal took the time to really understand my dog's needs. He was always professional and very easy to work with. He sent me updates every time he walked Charleigh, and let me know when she was having an off day, which is very important to me as a senior dog owner. Charleigh also loved him!! I highly recommend Hal for taking care of your pet.”
“Ne’Vaeh is amazing!! Mike loves her and we are so grateful to have someone like her to take care of him while we’re at work. If you’re looking for someone who will make sure your pet is taken care of and happy, book with her!”

“Lola seemed to really enjoy her stay with Tish. She had lots of sweet furry friends to hang out with while we were away. She came back to us calm and relaxed like she'd been at a spa. I highly recommend Tish as a sitter. She is clearly experienced with many different dog breeds and has a perfect demeanor for putting your pup at ease. You can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands.”
“Echo was fantastic! She was great with my puppy even tho he’s kind of crazy and energetic. she was great with communicating with me and was very respectful. will definitely be using her again!”
“Our dog loved staying with Rachel & her family!! So much so that he didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. 😂 Rachel was communicative and lovely and she took amazing care of our pup. We’re always a little anxious when we leave him, but it was clear from the many pictures and texts that he was well cared for, happy, and safe. We will absolutely be repeat clients.”
“Christina and her family are amazing! Phebs and I felt so comfortable right away, and I felt very reassured leaving my new dog there. She has separation anxiety, but they had the perfect environment for her, and she did fantastic! They have a great set up for whatever your dog needs, and I love the pictures and updates! I think she is almost sad to be home, she really had a great time there! I will definitely use them everytime I need to go out of town.”
“Great job. Very personable with us as well as good with the dogs. Everyone got along I clueing his dog Ginger and the other guest dog. Dogs made themselves at home in as well as outside the home. We will definitely use George again.”
“Joe was amazing with both of my dogs. He can handle my big german shepherd and my little pug. He provided pictures and updates throughout their boarding and had many activities for them to keep them entertained. He gave them their special diet and provided medication to my shepherd and they were happy and healthy on my return. I will be using Joe again whenever I need to board my dogs.”
“I am very pleased with Megan and Chris, and their care of my girl, Dolly. I love the fact that Dolly was allowed on the couch and bed, just like at home. It was reassuring to see all the pictures and just how much fun she had during her two week stay, Having Poppy to play with was definitely a big plus, thank you. I will not hesitate to rebook with Megan and Chris.”
“Jamie was amazing while taking care of Luna! From the very beginning, she was incredibly welcoming and made Luna feel completely at home. She sent me daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jamie was also super responsive, answering all of my questions and keeping me informed the entire time. Luna looked so happy and comfortable—almost like she was on her own little vacation! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a caring and attentive caregiver for their pet.”
“She kept me up-to-date on my dogs! They did puzzles, went for walks and had a blast! Definitely recommend and would book again 🩷my babies were fast asleep the entire 4 hour drive back home!!”
“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Angela is a supersitter! She was so kind and caring with our dogs and really went the extra mile, throwing frisbee to our Aussie and loving on our cavapoo! She is a genuine animal liver who treats your pets like her own! We will definitely rebook. Thanks, Angela!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Dominique and her family welcomed our two dogs with open and loving arms. The dogs clearly had a great time. Great communication. Lots of photos and lots of walks. We really appreciate it!”
“This was my first time with Brittany. I think she did a terrific job with Dixie. Dixie was safe, fed and came back home happy. I will definitely use Brittany again in the future 🩷🐶 I can tell she loves dogs 🐕 ❤️”
“We had an excellent experience boarding with Jaxen! She was extremely flexible with us on drop off due to unforeseen circumstances. She has a very nice kennel house that was clean and spacious for the dogs and a large yard for them to run around in throughout the day! She sent us pictures of Ranger playing and he had a big smile on his face, so I’m sure he enjoyed his stay. Thank you!!”
“Katie rocks! She took the best care of our two fur babies, one senior and one rambunctious two year old. She has a great set up with a big fenced in yard, and a friendly pup of her own who played so well with both of our dogs who have opposite play styles. We highly recommend her, and would love to book with her again!”
