“Ariel and Damien did a great job taking care of our girl Penny. Penny had a sore come up a little before her stay and they had no problem with having to give her antibiotics. We also ended up having car trouble on our way home from our trip, and they couldn't have been nicer about having to add an extra day. We'll definitely be contacting them next time we need Penny boarded! Thank you guys!”

“This family was absolutely amazing! They treated my dog like it was their own! Their son was so sweet with him and cuddled with him every night. They sent me a ton of pictures every day, took my dog on walks, and made sure he was eating. I will definitely be using them again”

“First time with Mireya and i can’t say enough. I have been using Rover for a while and i can say that this is the first time, in many years, that i did not have to ask for a photo or how my little Blue was doing. She took small details very seriously, sent us updates EVERY DAY and kept us informed at all times. I do highly recommend Mireya for your pets’ needs. Outstanding service and i will definitely make future reservations with her. Don't think twice. You will not regret how personal she takes her job. BEST one so far! Thank you Mireya for your amazing job. Blessings.”

“Sophia & Kevin took such good care of our boy. We had some concerns about his anxiety but he was perfectly happy with them. They were super consistent with updates and photos/videos. He got to play with so many other dogs and truly had the time of his life! They put us at ease while we were on our very long and very long distance trip. We did not have to worry for a second that he was being loved on, played with, and treated like one of their pack. Thank you so so much for watching our buddy for us! 100/100 would absolutely board him with you both again and 1000% recommend them for anyone's pup!”

“Joshua was great at watching our cat, Lola for 2.5 weeks. We were very nervous, because Lola had never been left with a stranger before, and doesn't have the best attitude sometimes 😉 At the meet and greet, Joshua had his dog Brewster, who was very sweet and calm, but Lola was hissing and swiping every chance she had. Joshua had never watched a cat before but he was confident everything would be fine- and it was. Lola seemed to get very comfortable with Joshua very quickly. He was even able to pick her up, which we weren't expecting. Now that Lola is home, she seems very calm and has adjusted very well. I think a big part of this is because of Joshua's patience and kindness with her. We will definitely go with Joshua again if needed. Thanks so much!”

“Communication was perfect and works with your pets flaws in a very caring and understanding way. My boiz felt safe and came out of the boarding experience happy!”

“My dogs have a dog door and someone home pretty much all the time. They come and go out the door as they please and Cindy was able to provide a similar routine + her dogs = bonus friends! Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She is well equipped for the job and everything went smoothly. I I knew they were in good hands while I was away!”

“Mr. Richard and Mrs. Cheryl were awesome! I was so happy to have them taking care my dogs. They love my dogs and they updated everything about them when the dogs with them! I appriciate that and thank you so much!!!”

“Mike and Alice were fantastic with Tex! They sent pictures and videos daily along with updates on how our boy was doing during the duration of his stay. Tex looked like he really enjoyed himself! We'll definitely use Mike and Alice again!”

“I recently boarded my dog with Mrs. Loretta and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was friendly, professional, and took great care of my furry child. Mrs. Loretta also provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Mrs. Loretta for anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy boarding service.”

“My pups loved their stay with Michaella. She is very friendly and kept me updated on how they were doing with photos and was always quick to respond. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! :)”

“We recently used Steve and Randi to watch our Lab for five days while we went out of the country, and we are glad that we did. It was readily apparent upon meeting them that these were true dog people and that their own dog, Mika, was loved and well cared for. They welcomed our pup, who is by no means small and can be a handful, with open arms. Mika was thrilled to have a friend. Their home is very dog-friendly, both inside and out, with plenty of room in their fenced back yard for exploration. While we were away, we received daily updates and plenty of pictures. When our returning flight was delayed a day, Steve and Randi were very understanding and accommodating. This was our first experience using Rover pet sitters, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We'd definitely recommend Steve and Randi, and will use them again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Breanna if you're in search of someone to care for your pup. From the excitement he had when we pulled up, to him running out the car up to the gate. It’s evident how much he enjoys his time there. With the daily photos and updates about his activities, I don’t have to worry. It’s a peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well taken care of when I’m not around.”

“My sweet girl Daisy is a paraplegic and requires extra care. Celeste took amazing care of her and made her feel at home. She sent pictures and updates everyday and made me feel comfortable being away from my girl. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup!”


“So very greatful to have found Tammy! She took great care of our dog, paid attention to details and cared for him as if he were her own!! Would highly recommend my friends and family to book with her for their animals to have a safe place to stay when needed. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Dawn was great with our pups! We did a meet and greet before we left for our trip and felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Our pups can be a handful sometimes, but Dawn was so good with them. We really appreciated the daily pics and updates while we were away on a trip. Would definitely recommend!”

“Tia is absolutely the best sitter hands down. Home very spacious for dogs to play, clean environment and she really loves our pets like they are her own. Tia sent multiple pictures and videos daily. I would definitely recommend tia hands down you wont find better care for your pet.”

“This was my first time using a boarding site and I'm glad I did!! Kristen was very nice and professional. The house was pet friendly and from the first meeting I knew she was the right pick. She was very attentive to my dog's special needs and the personal attention of sending updates was amazing. If you are ever in this area I highly recommend her.”

“This is my second time booking Tim, and just as before, he did a great job. Tim gave me regular updates, pics, and voluntarily went above and beyond the usual sitter expectations. My two cats are familiar with and fond of Tim -- I don't even know how he does that. I have no problem recommending Tim for anyone who needs peace of mind for their pets.”


“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”


“Michelle was amazing! She was thorough with her questions and even sent pics while she took care of our dog and cat! The house was as we left it and I’d hire her again without a second thought! She’s awesome and very trustworthy!”


“Bryanna was great with our Gordito! She was careful and patient with him and made sure all his needs were attended to. She was detail oriented with our specific requests. Would definitely get her again!”

“Kayla was easy to work with. Good communicator. Left the apartment clean and organized which is much appreciated after coming home from a long trip. Sent photos to keep us updated. Everything you could want in a house/pet sitter.”
About: I love caring for all dogs as if they were my own. I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as with friends dogs. I walk, bathe, take care of over night if that’s what your pet needs. I’m fully committed to making this my full time job. Every day I am available and willing to travel as far as 15miles for walks and check ins. Also for boarding, they can spend the night and have a great time with me and my beautiful border collie. I have a big fenced backyard with doggy door access. A crate if that’s what you prefer. My dog is very friendly and loves to play. If you want me to drop by your home and check in to feed, bathe, administer medicine, or just simply play time. If they need a walk as well.

“Where do I start on how wonderful Sheena is with my 3 dogs, Foxy, Houdini and Freddie! My dogs lover her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they have fun, do their business and the dogs are ready for bed with no muss or fuss! Sheena's photos each day are so good, she just captures them and how thrilled they are to be with her! I recommend Sheena highly and would give her 100 stars if I could. You will not be disappointed if Sheena is available to help you with your pups. Jo”


“Leana is great! Very communicative while we were away and kept us updated with pictures of the both the kitties which I really appreciated. Also, the house was definitely cleaner than how i left it which was so nice. I came home to happy cats and a clean house, which is pretty much the dream when you have to travel. I would absolutely trust Leana to care for our pets again and highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of family members pets mostly dogs but i do take care of the neighborhood stray cats whom i feed everyday when out i’m an currently working part time and usually have weekends off, sometimes my schedule is all over the place but i can communicate that always. I have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood is safe and a great place to walk your pup and my house is pet friendly too.

About: I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life, from a 6-year-old rescue to puppies I raised and trained myself. My dogs are housebroken and crate trained, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure and routines. I’ve also provided overnight care for large dogs with specific medication needs and frequent walk schedules, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of each dog’s personality. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my day around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m organized and punctual, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on time, especially when they’re used to a consistent routine. Since I provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets have fresh water and a calm environment before I leave. During overnight stays, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe while their owner is away.

About: I have cared for my daughters cats at times when she goes out of town. They eat at a certain time so I go over before 6pm and play with them and then feed them. Change and clean out their litter boxes. Make sure if they made a mess to clean it so she doesn't have to. I own 3 cats myself they are outside cats but they are well fed and water everyday.

About: I’ve loved caring for cats since I was 8, starting with my grandmother’s cat. I’ve also raised my own kitten, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, cuddles, cleaning, and keeping cats comfortable, happy, and safe.

About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
About: I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to giant. Specifically dog sitting and drop in visits for family and friends. I have experience with dog walks as well which I enjoy since it is great exercise necessary to any dog. I’m currently a full time student that needs a job with flexible hours. I have classes four times a week but the remainder of week I have free time. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog buddy for your pet. I also have cameras outside on all sides of my home to ensure the safety of your pet. But I will be monitoring your pet because I’ll be outside with them for potty breaks. My pet is crate trained which I can utilize if necessary.

“This couple is so great with Luna and very professional when it comes to her care. Top tier worry free services for my dog during my busy season is so much appreciated!!”


“Super caring and attentive pet sitter. I took my puppy to her three days a week so I could go to work. I could not stand thinking about leaving him at home alone when he was only eight weeks old. Elisa took him outside every couple of hours. She made sure he was loved and comfortable and did not have to cry it out. He is now 10 weeks old and strong enough to be on his own at home when I go to work but my doggie became good friends with her doggy and enjoys playing with other little doggies that come in for doggy daycare. So I’m going to continue bringing him to Elisa for as long as I possibly can. He lights up and gets so excited to see her when I drop him off. I know he is in good hands”

About: Yup, I was that kid who dressed her puppy in doll clothes, I promise not to do that unless you want me to. Happy Tails I’m flexible with my hours. I'm that person who brings home every stray. So….My husband wants us to have less animals so this way I have time to love on yours. I have a fence for dogs to play and do there business. We prefer to crate the dogs at night if at all possible when your baby stays with us. When I come to the door I hope your pet will be happy to see a friendly face.
“Kristen was an excellent dog sitter! She and her family were very kind enough to allow me to tour their home where my dog would be staying. I am very impressed with how responsive she was in our communications. Also, I appreciated the photo updates of how my dog was doing! Will definitely be visiting again in the near future.”

“She cares just like family. She takes such good care of Quatro 💞. He loves going to her home. It’s clean and tidy which is very important to me. It brings me peace that I know that Quatro is being taken care of in such an excellent manner.”

“Jack had so much fun with Becky & her pup! He played all day and came home exhausted. She was super flexible with timing to drop off and pick up, and very communicative. We received several updates and pics throughout the day! Will definitely be our go-to in the future!”

“Mr. Jeffrey has taking care of our pup a couple of times now and he is always super respectful and nice. He always answers our messages right away and when we pick up our dog we always find him happy and well taken cared of. We will definitely keep using his services in the near future and recommend him 100%”

About: I've helped care for animals for the past 15 years. In the past I have volunteered animal shelters caring for animals and absolutely loved it. I'm currently not working and will have plenty of time to care for your pups! Anytime I am not available, my husband may be able to help fill in. Just get with us to verify scheduling! We have two cats and they are so spoiled! We would love to make a puppy an addition to our family but have not been able to do so yet! In the meantime, I would love to help you care for your puppy. Care includes, feeding, watering, play-time, going for walks, and any other care at your request!
“Cindy is so great to work with! She made both Archie and I feel comfortable right away. Her home is well fenced and dog friendly. I think Archie knew right away that she is a dog lover. :) We will definitely be returning. PS: She sent me an adorable photo of my pup enjoying his play day.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From participating in 4-H as a kid to working as a veterinary technician and rescuing pets for years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I provide compassionate, dependable care—including extra patience, comfort, and attention for senior pets who need a little more love. I work from home Monday through Friday and have weekends off, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and round-the-clock care every day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. My friendly, well-socialized fur baby loves making new friends and enjoys the company of other pets. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated for meals, bedtime, or when unattended, I’m happy to accommodate their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Thank you so much Nereyda. So happy that Bo gets to stay with you when we come to San Antonio. I know he feels right at home and he’s so well taken care of. Super grateful as always!”

About: Please note that Rover retains a 20% service fee from each booking, so my rates are set to remain fair while still reflecting the level of care and attention I provide. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet, and I take great pride in the quality of care I deliver. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles—since a young age. Over the years, family members and friends have consistently trusted me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets, which has helped me build a strong foundation in reliable and compassionate animal care. I do have two young daughters, ages 4 and 3. They are very well-behaved around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful—such as not pulling on tails or ears. I also work from home as a nail technician and run a small coffee/food business, which allows me to be present throughout the day. Because of this, your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime. I’m very flexible and happy to work with you to accommodate scheduling needs, including times and dates. I offer a variety of toys and a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and play. I also provide high-quality treats, including 100% beef or chicken options, as well as organic peanut butter cookies made specifically for dogs.

Take your pet on walks and make sure they are given plenty of attention and love during their stay in our home.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening.

I really appreciate his patience and care, and I would definitely recommend him!”


About: Hi there, my name’s Trinity! I’ve lived with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and the gerbils that I researched months for before presenting my findings to my parents (they caved). Before earning my BA in Psychology, I studied animal science at TTU for two years in hopes to become a veterinarian. While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities. In fact, it gives me more time to listen to music in the car! I have an acre of land with a fenced in backyard with plenty of open space for your favorite child to run around. Our community is in a quiet country neighborhood, perfect for low-risk dog-walking.

My approach is depending on whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. In My Home Provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. Follow feeding schedules and dietary needs. Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Supervise interactions with other pets (if any). Maintain a clean and comfortable space for them. In a Client’s Home Follow the owner’s routine to keep the pet comfortable. Feed, water, and administer any necessary medication. Take dogs for walks and provide playtime. Clean up after them (litter boxes, accidents, etc.). Provide companionship to reduce stress from their owner’s absence. Send updates and pictures to the owner.
About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
About: I am willing to learn from your animal baby, I've also taken care of puppies, my old dog had a whole litter of 6 and we had a home birth. I've also cared for multiple litters of kittens. I know basics of training, however I am not a dog trainer! Just a loving being, hoping to connect with you and your dog or cat to best help them while you do your thing 🩷🦋 thank you for the opportunity Personally, I work full time at a Montessori inspired school and go to school so weekdays are not usually open for me. However, on weekends, I have more availability to look out for your furr babies while also doing community outreach. Eventually, I would like to work from home or find more space for this work as I transition to different work. I am willing to do drop INS after 6pm on certain days and vacation time I care for my animals with lots of love, usually I try to take the time to be with them since working full time you don't always get to. They are my babies and I want them all to feel like I am there for them 🩷. I usually clean their litter boxes, feed and cuddle when I get home 🩷 as for other animals around me that have come and gone, I am grateful for the unconditional love they have shown me and I to them 🩷
About: I’ve taken care of family members pets mostly dogs but i do take care of the neighborhood stray cats whom i feed everyday when out i’m an currently working part time and usually have weekends off, sometimes my schedule is all over the place but i can communicate that always. I have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood is safe and a great place to walk your pup and my house is pet friendly too.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to giant. Specifically dog sitting and drop in visits for family and friends. I have experience with dog walks as well which I enjoy since it is great exercise necessary to any dog. I’m currently a full time student that needs a job with flexible hours. I have classes four times a week but the remainder of week I have free time. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog buddy for your pet. I also have cameras outside on all sides of my home to ensure the safety of your pet. But I will be monitoring your pet because I’ll be outside with them for potty breaks. My pet is crate trained which I can utilize if necessary.

“Ariel and Damien did a great job taking care of our girl Penny. Penny had a sore come up a little before her stay and they had no problem with having to give her antibiotics. We also ended up having car trouble on our way home from our trip, and they couldn't have been nicer about having to add an extra day. We'll definitely be contacting them next time we need Penny boarded! Thank you guys!”

“Isabel was fantastic. Sent videos and photos early and often. Gave us a report on how Kassel was doing each day and overall at the end of her stay. We will definitely be back again in the future!”

“Sophia & Kevin took such good care of our boy. We had some concerns about his anxiety but he was perfectly happy with them. They were super consistent with updates and photos/videos. He got to play with so many other dogs and truly had the time of his life! They put us at ease while we were on our very long and very long distance trip. We did not have to worry for a second that he was being loved on, played with, and treated like one of their pack. Thank you so so much for watching our buddy for us! 100/100 would absolutely board him with you both again and 1000% recommend them for anyone's pup!”

“Joshua was great at watching our cat, Lola for 2.5 weeks. We were very nervous, because Lola had never been left with a stranger before, and doesn't have the best attitude sometimes 😉 At the meet and greet, Joshua had his dog Brewster, who was very sweet and calm, but Lola was hissing and swiping every chance she had. Joshua had never watched a cat before but he was confident everything would be fine- and it was. Lola seemed to get very comfortable with Joshua very quickly. He was even able to pick her up, which we weren't expecting. Now that Lola is home, she seems very calm and has adjusted very well. I think a big part of this is because of Joshua's patience and kindness with her. We will definitely go with Joshua again if needed. Thanks so much!”

“Communication was perfect and works with your pets flaws in a very caring and understanding way. My boiz felt safe and came out of the boarding experience happy!”

“My dogs have a dog door and someone home pretty much all the time. They come and go out the door as they please and Cindy was able to provide a similar routine + her dogs = bonus friends! Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She is well equipped for the job and everything went smoothly. I I knew they were in good hands while I was away!”

“Mike and Alice were fantastic with Tex! They sent pictures and videos daily along with updates on how our boy was doing during the duration of his stay. Tex looked like he really enjoyed himself! We'll definitely use Mike and Alice again!”

“I recently boarded my dog with Mrs. Loretta and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was friendly, professional, and took great care of my furry child. Mrs. Loretta also provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Mrs. Loretta for anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy boarding service.”

“My pups loved their stay with Michaella. She is very friendly and kept me updated on how they were doing with photos and was always quick to respond. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! :)”

“We recently used Steve and Randi to watch our Lab for five days while we went out of the country, and we are glad that we did. It was readily apparent upon meeting them that these were true dog people and that their own dog, Mika, was loved and well cared for. They welcomed our pup, who is by no means small and can be a handful, with open arms. Mika was thrilled to have a friend. Their home is very dog-friendly, both inside and out, with plenty of room in their fenced back yard for exploration. While we were away, we received daily updates and plenty of pictures. When our returning flight was delayed a day, Steve and Randi were very understanding and accommodating. This was our first experience using Rover pet sitters, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We'd definitely recommend Steve and Randi, and will use them again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Breanna if you're in search of someone to care for your pup. From the excitement he had when we pulled up, to him running out the car up to the gate. It’s evident how much he enjoys his time there. With the daily photos and updates about his activities, I don’t have to worry. It’s a peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well taken care of when I’m not around.”

“Pamela was amazing! She updated us super frequently and responded fast, she was very accommodating. My dog loved her, we will definitely be booking again. 100/10 highly recommend!”
“Angela and Sam. You two are so amazing and we are so blessed to have found you! You took care of Toby and Rocky as though they were your own!!. We loved all the pictures you sent which reassured us that our boys were being cared for!! They truly loved it there, we almost think they didn't want to come home!!!! :-) They met a lot of new friends and we will definitely be booking you again real soon. I would highly recommend you all to anyone!! Again thanks for being so amazing and caring for our boys!!”

“Cassie did a awesome job keeping me updated and lots of pictures. My dog Lena had a great time meeting and playing with her new friends. I thought she would be sad and all clingy on me when I got back from my trip. She was happy when she saw me but then acted like I never left So she obviously was telling me she had a great time!! Thanks you Cassie”


“So very greatful to have found Tammy! She took great care of our dog, paid attention to details and cared for him as if he were her own!! Would highly recommend my friends and family to book with her for their animals to have a safe place to stay when needed. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Dawn was great with our pups! We did a meet and greet before we left for our trip and felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Our pups can be a handful sometimes, but Dawn was so good with them. We really appreciated the daily pics and updates while we were away on a trip. Would definitely recommend!”

“Rachel was AMAZING. From the beginning she was professional and compassionate. She communicated consistently with me at all times and sent tons of photos and videos of Lesley while I was away. She was accommodating of Lesley needs and ensured her safety and comfort throughout the entire visit. Would highly recommend Rachel!”
