Highly-rated overnight sitters - Alief
“We couldn’t be happier with Vicki! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well-cared for, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept us at ease. Vicki was not only reliable and professional but also truly compassionate, treating our furry family members as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur babies, look no further! Highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m very pleased with the service. I really appreciated that the sitter took the time to meet with me in advance and made my little one feel so special. The daily check-ins were such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend and will be using Rover again in the future!”
“Linda and Jo were amazing! They sent me pictures and updates every single day, always responded super quick, and were just so nice. Banks definitely seemed to like it at their house!”
“Mixie was great, she was kind, friendly, and took great care of our Charlie. She shared loads of photos and kept us in the loop of how Charlie was adjusting. Excited to bring Charlie back for another stay!!”
“Lily is absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my pug for two days, and I couldn't be happier with her service. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Lily sent me regular photo updates, which I really appreciated, as it kept my mind at peace knowing my little guy was doing great. Her communication was fantastic, she responded to all my messages super fast. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and provides top-notch care. My pug came home happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter! We'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Tiffany was amazing! This was our first time to leave our 12 year old dog in someone else’s home. I felt totally confident the minute I met Tiffany. Chloe was great when I picked her up! We will definitely use Tiffany again!”
“Alison truly treated Udi as if she was a part of her family. I appreciate that she did a meet/greet beforehand to learn Udi’s personality/routine. She sent updates every day that let me know Udi was behaving just as comfortably as she would with our family at home. I felt peace of mind knowing Udi was in kind and caring hands since this was the longest I had been without her. We can’t wait to book with Alison again!”
“Kimberly is fantastic! Super communicative, nice, knowledgeable and best of all has your pets best health and experience in mind. I’ve used her twice now and this last time was for an entire month. She sent pictures along with updates and I always felt Mattie was in good hands. Will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her.”
“We boarded our 3 doggies with Amy for 7 days, the longest we've ever spent without them. Amy was amazing! She shared updates throughout the day each day, including photos and videos. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own. We know they can be a handful or two, but Amy handled them with no problems. She was their vacation because she spoiled them lol We would most definitely trust her with our fur babies again.”
“Nikki was great with my dog, Asher! She was really attentive to his medical needs and made sure he was well taken care of the whole time. Her communication was also really good. She kept me updated and was easy to reach, which I really appreciated. She even sent me videos of some of his stay with her! (Normally I just get pics but she went ABOVE AND BEYOND) Overall it was such a smooth experience and I felt comfortable knowing Asher was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Deanna was AMAZING! I was very worried leaving my baby, but Deanna made me (and Ralph) feel so comfortable! She constantly sent updates and pictures without me even having to ask for them. She gave Ralph tons of attention and treated him like he was her own. She has a sweet, sweet dog, Hadley, that Ralph got along with great. Deanna is a wonderful dog person and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Andrea was AMAZING… she sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay. We were especially nervous since our dog is a diabetic and gets nervous but Harley seemed so comfortable at her house. Will definitely be booking with Andrea for all our vacas. Thank you for being such a great sitter !!!”
“Andrea was wonderful! She watched my two dogs for 6 nights, and took such good care of them that they came home so happy and exhausted. My dogs can sometimes be a handful together, but she did a great job! She sent lots of photos of them, and was always very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely ask Andrea to watch my dogs again in the future!”
“On the drive home, Legion told me that he had more fun here than at home. He got lots of attention and had plenty of friends to play with. Great experience and we will certainly go back.”
“Amanda was excellent in her care for Sandie, a senior dog. She clearly understood Sandie's needs. Amanda was thoughtful and diligently send photos daily of Sandie enjoying her stay. I can understand why Amanda gets repeat pups to care for...she is very kind and professional.”
“Mya treated my dog like her own. Zander is a bit spoiled, so he eats homemade wet food and she made sure that he stayed on his food routine. She sent lots of pictures, took him on walks, and even advised about a concern she had regarding his hydration. I’m already planning his next visit!”
“Our senior dog absolutely loves staying at Rowena’s place. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how well and how happy Mango was during his stay. Rowena kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It truly reassured us knowing our dog was being so well cared for. If you are looking for a dog sitter in Richmond area, she is the one!”
“I don’t think there is a better place in this world for my Tuppers. I will use Donna again. She took special care of my dog and that is exactly what this pup needs. Thank you Donna!”
“This was our doodles second stay. Communication was professional and timely. She took Chloe on multiple walks and was well cared for. We have already booked another week for our upcoming vacation.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for four years. Taking care of pets has been part of my daily routine for many years, and I’ve loved every second. I have 5 cats in my household and I take special care of every fur baby. I love feeding stray cats, even though I wish I could adopt every single one I come across with. I am knowledgeable in reading animal behavior and how to administer medications. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule. I would love to have them in my house but mine is already packed with cats and dogs. I have a calm energy that animals always seem to trust and come over to me. I love looking forward to working with you and provide the care your pet needs, they will be in trusting, loving hands.
“Kara did a great job caring for our 3 cats twice a day. She spent time playing with them and would send pictures and videos each day. She was prompt, easy to work with, communicative and cared about the cats. I highly recommend Kara.”

About: So the most recent cat me and my husband rescued was a stray from the outskirts of Texas which we named Gert. As for Mila I rescued her during 2021 in a McDonald’s near Highway 6 in which she was about to cross. Mila was my first cat and is now 5 years and 3 months old she is feisty but she accustomed herself properly with Gert (though it took A LOT of dedication and social distancing). As for Gert she came from out of no where, she is an orange tabby cat with a spontaneous amount of energy in which both surprised me and my husband as we were only used to Mimi’s crankiness. Overall I am a fan of felines and have prided myself in being blessed enough to take care of two now. The main key is to deep clean and maintain their litter, groom them at least once to two times a week depending whether or not they are mainly indoor or outdoor cats. Our girls are vaccinated and medicated so that is also my main concern when taking care of any animal in general. I hope that whomever needs the reassurance of keeping their babies safe and well maintained can consider us as a future candidate to take care of them!! ^__^
“Amelia was reliable, showed up as expected, sent pictures as requested. Mainly, she was loving to our dog. We were confident that our dog was very well taken care of for the week. We very highly recommend Amelia!”
“Emma has been hanging out with our corgi during the weekdays, making sure he gets his business done and can release some energy while I’m at work. She takes lots of pictures of every stage of the visit and types a detailed summary of their activities. She does a good job of redirecting him from mischief, as well. I always look forward to hearing what fun they had!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alief
“My dog had such a great time with Beatrice and her dogs! My dog was very anxious and shy upon arrival, but she made sure Buttercup felt welcomed in her home! She got to play and cuddle with the other pups and I look forward to working with her again in the future! ☺️”
“Lily did great with our Lucy! She sent a lot of pictures and even a video. We will definitely use her again and certainly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Coming up on a year of Junie going to Michael for regular daycare. Still wonderful! His pups are her best friends and she’s very excited to head out from home in the morning.”
“Our puppy had such a great time at daycare. He loved getting to play with the other dogs, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. Miranda and Paula are wonderful. They clearly care about the dogs and made sure our pup was happy and having fun. We really appreciated the great communication!”
About: I’ve personally cared for my puppy since he was just a baby, and I trained him myself using positive reinforcement techniques. This has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency and patience. On Rover, I know pet parents are trusting me with a member of their family—and I take that seriously. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pup needs playtime, structured walks, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and follow your care instructions closely. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I’m always nearby for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and anything else your pup might need. As a proud dog mom who raised and trained my own pup from 4 months old, I understand how much patience and care young dogs require. Whether your dog is full of energy, still learning, or just needs a little extra love, I’m here to support them like family. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family in a safe, loving, and secure environment. I live in a quiet space that’s perfect for anxious pups who need a calm and peaceful setting to feel at ease. I provide a clean, cozy area for your dog to relax and play, and I’m happy to share photos of the space ahead of time so you can feel confident about where your pup will be staying. For safety, I do not allow any strangers into my home during boarding or daycare. Since I work from home, your dog will always have supervision, consistent care, and plenty of love throughout the day.
“Gizmo love Ony!! Right away he was comfortable in her presence and in her home. She was quick to respond, sent updates, and photos of Gizmo enjoying his day at daycare. I will definitely book with her again for daycare and boarding. 5 Stars”
About: I genuinely care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each animal’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with both energetic young pets who need structure and play, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra comfort, and lots of reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, feeding schedules, and potty breaks, and I always make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. To make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable stay, I ask that owners please review a few guidelines: • Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs • Please provide food, leash, and any medications needed during the stay • Let me know about any behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special needs in advance • Pets should be house-trained or comfortable with a routine potty schedule My goal is to create a safe and happy environment for every dog that stays with me. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Your pet rarely won’t be left alone for long, and I can easily keep up with their normal routine. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves meeting new dogs, so your pup will always have a built-in playmate. He’s great with both big and small dogs, so pups of all sizes are welcome here. I have a whole open room just for your pup to relax, eat, and play filled with comfy beds, lots of toys, and even doggy pool days in the summer! Dogs are free to roam and explore 24/7, and I don’t gate them off from each other, so they can make friends and enjoy company whenever they like. I also have a large crate in the house for owners who prefer their pup to have one while I’m away. It’s rarely used (only if requested) so don’t worry, your dog won’t be confined unless that’s what you want. I stick to your pup’s routines and rules (feeding, potty breaks, medications) and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.
“Kimberly was amazing with my doggy! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated which gave me so much peace of mind! :) Zoey was happy and well cared for 🤍”
About: I’m a shelter volunteer & have been fostering and volunteering for 4 years. I have worked with all kinds of dogs & behaviors.

I have 2 personal dogs & a foster dog — all are very chill & mind their own business. I work remotely so I will be home during the day. I am flexible and love to have snuggle & outside breaks throughout the day 🥰. I am committed to having a safe and playful environment for all pups :) I am experienced in dog behavior/body language and know when things need to be diffused. I am able to host reactive dogs who cannot see other dogs as well. I have experience in reactivity/dog aggression.

“My husband got a new job so we needed to put out boy in daycare for a week. Noel was kind enough to take him pretty early and he was very accommodating with our schedule which changed throughout the week. Our dog jumped out of the car and ran to Noel when we arrived which tells me that he loved being there! We received pictures and updates which were much appreciated and our guy was happy as a clam when we picked him up. We will definitely use Noel again and we're grateful to have him so close!”
“Hi, yesterday I brought my baby to a day care in Claudia’s house. Claudia is super nice, very professional, she has experience with dogs, her house is clean and comfortable. Thanks you Claudia to be nice and lovely with my Fiona. We will come back next week.”
About: Hi, I am Krithika! bring the mix of experience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every pet I care for! I’ve fostered dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from playful, high-energy puppies to shy or adjusting pups who just need a little extra patience and reassurance. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe and happy. I also have a dental and healthcare background, which means I’m familiar with basic pet first aid and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’m naturally observant, so I notice the little things and make sure your pet is always well cared for. I love helping my neighbors with training their dogs, so I’m happy to reinforce good habits, practice basic commands, and support routines you already have in place. Whether it’s guiding a young puppy or making sure an older dog feels comfortable and relaxed, I’m all about creating a positive, loving environment. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of care, attention, and affection! 🐾 I am currently working from home and have a pretty chill schedule. I build my schedule around making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I am used to planning my day with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and checkins, so your pet will always have structure and consistency. Since I have fostered dogs and regularly help neighbors with their pets, I am comfortable adjusting my routine to fit different energy levels and needs, whether that means active playtime for a puppy or a slower, more relaxed pace for a calmer dog. I also make time for training reinforcement, enrichment activities, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I live an apartment with great space. My dog, Tisha is allowed on our furnitures and beds. She used to sleep in her crate but we recently made the switch to let her sleep on her bed in our room.

About: I've been dog sitting and walking since 2018, caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and needs—including senior dogs, disabled dogs, and pups with allergies. I love getting to know each dog's personality, quirks, and routine so they feel comfortable while their people are away. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants a buddy to hang out with, they'll get plenty of love, attention, and care from Auntie. 🐾 Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have the flexibility to work around your pet's needs. Walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, belly rubs, couch cuddles, snack reminders (for the humans too 😅)—I'm here for it. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible so they're happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before care begins. Whether they're a senior pup, need medication, have allergies, or just need a little extra patience, they'll be cared for like family.

About: I've been taking care of pets ever since I was a kid. I grew up with both cats and dogs and my parent always had us clean up after them feed them and walk them as needed.. I'm currently working in the gig economy as I build up my own business so never really going to have a difficult time meeting my clients needs My primary focus will be on the pets needs Keeping an eye on them much like you would an 8 year old. Situational awareness is Paramount when walking your dogs making sure you're not crossing any major roads or going into any traffic instead going to parks and things of that nature.
About: I’ve always had dogs ever since I was young. With all my siblings dogs, we have 9 in the family and they typically call me for walks or dog sitting. We have dogs ranging from Maltese to Rot/boxer mix. I work from home and outside my front door is a small park but have surrounding parks around the neighborhood close by. With my dog, I took work breaks as walks. It’s Texas so my assumptions the pets are inside, I have a small fence yard but access to a park in front of my house.
About: I’ve taken care and nurtured dogs for a decade. I have became knowledgeable in animal behavior and will accommodate the environment to their needs. I will prioritize them 100% when they are in my care. I can dog walk in the mornings and evenings on weekdays. :) Im working from home so i will have plenty of time to be attentive to your cat/dog needs. I love playing with cats and dogs making sure their enrichment is met. I have availability morning and evenings on weekdays. If needed to board I can keep your pet in a separated area. As well have a fenced yard so there is no guarantee that they’ll run away.
“This is my first time utilizing Rover. I highly recommend Brianna. I told her my situation. She is very nice, compassionate, and very good with dogs. She sent me pictures of her and Maxwell while walking. Will be rebooking with her for future appointments.”
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Erika and while I’ve never been in professional pet care, I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals - such as dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Caring for my own pets over the years have taught me how to adjust to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means lots of playtime, a slow walk, or extra cuddles and patience. Moreover, I have 2 years of being a Behavior Technician, which has given me a strong understanding of behavior and how to use positive reinforcement effectively. This experience transitions seamlessly into working with dogs that need that consistency, rapport building, and support. Whether you need someone to help your puppy burn off energy or give your senior dog the gentle care it deserves, I’m here to help. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and respect I give my own. HABLO ESPAÑOL :)! I currently work a full-time remote position and my schedule is incredible flexible. I make my own schedule and can fit morning or midday walks 3 times a week. And daily, I can allocate my afternoons to pet walking. My weekends are completely free and will be focusing on taking new clients all day. I live in a 1-story house with a large backyard. If pet sitting is necessary, your dog will have a place to stay in the living room and a large backyard to play in. The area where I live is safe and my house has camera around the premise that allows me to monitor them if they want to spend more time outside sun bathing. I also have a camera inside for when I need to step out and run an errand, they will also be monitored. My house is also 5 min away from a park that loops a .5 mile walk therefore they’ll be guaranteed a good walk.
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to pitbulls to Great Danes. My father is an owner of 4 cats which I also have experience taking care of. One of his former cats was disabled with feline AIDS so I also have experience handling and administering oral medication. I’ve even worked in an emergency vet hospital as a scribe and know how to identify signs of illness and where to take them should something go wrong (knock on wood). My whole life I have been a lover of all animals and I do my best to stay educated on animal safety and body language. I mainly take freelance jobs so I can take jobs any time between the hours of 11am and 10pm with some exceptions if necessary for overnight bookings. I do not take in pets in my own home as I live in an apartment and other dogs and owners can be unpredictable. I can take your dog on walks, feed them, and cuddle or play with them or let them rest in their own space! Let me know their quirks and I will work with them as best I can!

I’ve fostered dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from playful, high-energy puppies to shy or adjusting pups who just need a little extra patience and reassurance. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe and happy. I also have a dental and healthcare background, which means I’m familiar with basic pet first aid and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’m naturally observant, so I notice the little things and make sure your pet is always well cared for. I love helping my neighbors with training their dogs, so I’m happy to reinforce good habits, practice basic commands, and support routines you already have in place. Whether it’s guiding a young puppy or making sure an older dog feels comfortable and relaxed, I’m all about creating a positive, loving environment. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of care, attention, and affection! 🐾 I am currently working from home and have a pretty chill schedule. I build my schedule around making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I am used to planning my day with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and checkins, so your pet will always have structure and consistency. Since I have fostered dogs and regularly help neighbors with their pets, I am comfortable adjusting my routine to fit different energy levels and needs, whether that means active playtime for a puppy or a slower, more relaxed pace for a calmer dog. I also make time for training reinforcement, enrichment activities, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I live an apartment with great space. My dog, Tisha is allowed on our furnitures and beds. She used to sleep in her crate but we recently made the switch to let her sleep on her bed in our room.
“María is super sweet and caring! I booked her last minute because I was running a fever. I was falling asleep yet heard her talking to nala so sweet and nicely to get nala into her leash. Nala came back in the happiest and brightest mood. Will definitely book again with Maria! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had experience with all animals big and small. From house sitting to managing a pet kennel at my previous job, I strive to connect with owners and their pets to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime, whether it be for walks, short potty breaks, or longer hours. I’m able to stay and play at your house or bring your pet to mine. I have two sweet doodles, three cats, and lots of land for pets that need to run. I understand that each animals needs are different and I would be able to provide a hype or chill environment depending on those needs.
About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I work from home and only run a few errands on the weekend for a few hours, so my availability is endless. I am also open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.
About: Hello my name is Camila or cami I would like to share a bit of my experience with the animals I have/had taken care of throughout my years of living. Starting off strong I have only ever rescued/homed/adopted all of my animals including smaller critters such as rodents, birds, frogs, and reptiles. I also have experience in walking dogs for families and friends this being dogs that are big as a Labrador and small as a Yorkie. My first interaction with rescuing an animal was when I was 5 with my first dog Bouncie. She was a poodle/shnauzer mix and we found her in an abandoned apartment’s back patio that was locked. Seeing her limped right leg we immediately took her to a clinic and we neutered, chipped, bathed, and took her to get her vaccines as well as getting her medicated. She lived for a very long 14 years and unfortunately had to be put down after two failing attempts of removing a tumor in her stomach that was the size of a tennis ball. Though heartbreaking it made me understand and motivated my care for animals not just dogs but also any defenseless critter. Present time I now have two dogs, Corey who just turned 5 this year and Joy who will be turning 14 and two cats, Gert who is a 1 year and Mila who also turned 5 this year. Overall I take the care and love for animals very seriously as they are just like children they need attention and plenty of love as well as care. I hope to be considered as someone who can be trusted with their babies when and if needed! I am always on my feet with our animals even with my husband. I make sure to walk our dogs for at least 30-45 minutes twice to three times in the day depending on what our schedule is looking like. Feeding proper amounts of food and following diet restrictions since one of our pups is having tummy troubles and is taking medication. This is an everyday routine that both me and my husband do and enjoy doing. When going into a clients home and needing to feed, walk, or simply play I make sure to follow instructions without disrupting the actual house of the individual. Respecting the place is the main key and making sure to not invade but also communicating with the client. There can definitely be moments where something might be confusing so becoming approachable is important to establish proper care for the clients pets. As for the care I provide for my pets it’s the same minus being in someone else’s home. The type of care and respect I give to my animals in my home is the exact same care and respect I would want anyone I am not close with to give to my home and pets.This means maintaining and cleaning the main areas where they play, eat, sleep, and do their business.

“Lily is absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my pug for two days, and I couldn't be happier with her service. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Lily sent me regular photo updates, which I really appreciated, as it kept my mind at peace knowing my little guy was doing great. Her communication was fantastic, she responded to all my messages super fast. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and provides top-notch care. My pug came home happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter! We'll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Alison truly treated Udi as if she was a part of her family. I appreciate that she did a meet/greet beforehand to learn Udi’s personality/routine.

(Normally I just get pics but she went ABOVE AND BEYOND) Overall it was such a smooth experience and I felt comfortable knowing Asher was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been working with animas for over ten years. I’m a dog professional and am well versed in dog behavior. I do rescue work on the side as well. I work 30 hours a week, but am able to come home for lunch daily. I go in very early and come home early so I get plenty of time caring for your pets. I have a very secure fenced in yard and super friendly pups that love company and love to play with new friends and we have cameras out doors with motion detection. I focus on animal safety.
“Kristina was great with our girl. She sent at least two or three pictures every day. I could tell Missy was happy when her tail was raised high in every picture. We don’t go out of town often, but Kristina made leaving Missy a bit easier knowing she’d be playing and happy.”
“Charlie LOVED his time there. He came home like he never left. I missed him, but knowing he was getting plenty of love, care, playtime and relaxation helped a lot. Liron was great with communicating, answering questions and understanding. I have a ton of pictures thanks to her proactive communication and kindness. I am so glad Charlie also got to socialize with other well behaved dogs while he was there. Honestly this place is a dogs’ paradise. He will definitely be back. 😌☺️”
“Iridian was super attentive with my rescue. She made sure to do everything to keep Huey’s routine, and loved him like he was their’s. I truly appreciate her and her family for choosing to love and care for Huey. She updated me on everything, and sent plenty of photos throughout the day. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Kelly took care of our dog while we were out of town and she was FANTASTIC! She provided us with daily photos and quick updates which we loved receiving. Our pup had a wonderful time playing with all the new friends she made at Kelly's house :) Kelly was also very flexible as our travel plans kept changing due to flight issues and delays and she was so accommodating and friendly and absolutely okay with all the unexpected changes to our ability to pick up. We are so thankful to have found her and recommend her to everyone. Thank you Kelly!!!”
“Joanna and Brian are so kind and did a great job boarding my energetic puppy. They sent pictures every day - even with comments. My dog was happy and healthy when I picked him up, and I am confident that he had a good time. I highly recommend these excellent pet sitters.”
