Highly-rated overnight sitters - Buda
“Yan is an EXCELLENT sitter. We are very pleased with her services. She provided photos with updates on how well the 2 Yorkies were doing while in her care. We are definitely going to use her services again.”
“The backyard gave Tucker lots of high quality play time and Desmond & Robyn were fantastic at sending me pictures of Tucker intermittently throughout the day. Next time I am in need of a sitter, Desmond & Robyn will definitely be my first choice. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia and her little grumble of Pugs welcomed our pup with open arms. He was treated like part of their family when he was there and I couldn't be happier. It's hard to leave your baby with someone you barely know, but Olivia is top notch and made us feel so comfortable. She and her husband are competent, confident and responsible dog owners who will love and treat your dog just like their own! Plus they have a grumble of Pugs to play with. What's better than that! Will book again 100%”
“Marcel was great! He and his two boys kept Gemma active, and super happy. He sent regular pictures and videos and she looked like she was having a ball. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Marcel!”
“I am so grateful for Morgan! She took great care of my dachshund for an entire week! She asked me how often I wanted to be updated and she continuously updated me to my request. My dog was on medication while she watched him and she would always update me with the time he took his medication (which I didn’t ask her to do) but it gave me peace of mind knowing he never missed a medication! She’s is a beautiful soul and your dog will be lucky to be loved by her while you’re away! ?”
“Awesome pet sitters and thank you for keeping me informed what’s going on while I was gone. I would definitely use this service again and now I see how my dogs really love you guys. May God bless and continue for you to prosper”
“Rachel was so comfortable and nurturing with my pup. She knows a lot about dogs and knew what to do with my little guy. He was well cared for there and got lots of snuggles. I felt comfortable leaving him there in her hands. She was great to work with.”
“Gail took such great care of my dog Charlie while I was away! I loved getting all the updates and photos, it made me feel so relaxed knowing he was happy and well cared for. And her backyard is a total dog paradise, he was living his best life! Would 100% book with her again.”
“River had a great stay. He’s a high-energy chocolate lab, and they handled him really well. We got consistent updates and photos without having to ask, which I appreciated. He looked comfortable the whole time and got plenty of playtime and walks. Communication was easy and they were flexible with timing and his collar setup. Everything felt really smooth. Already booked with them again.”
“Alyssa was amazing taking care of my dog. she showered her cleaned her bowls and updated me every chance she got. 100% recommend! she was very understanding when i picked up my dog a little late”
“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”
“My fiancé and I had to leave for a few days to Houston for her niece’s baptism. Lisa watched our dog, Scout, for us and she did an amazing job. Her dog and Scout got along very well. She has a nice/big backyard that he was able to play in! She made sure to send us updates/photos everyday while we were away, which was so thoughtful and made us feel good knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Lisa again for sitting!”
“Our dog was excited to check things out as soon as we arrived! We received nice updates and she came back with a full smile. We’ll definitely request Patches next time we travel!”
“Sarah is awesome! I contacted her when our normal sitter canceled just before we were about to drop our dog off and we were in a panic to find a sitter for the weekend, as we were on our way out of town. Sarah responded immediately and was so helpful in coordinating the drop off to make it as easy as possible. She is so sweet and our dog, Charlie, seemed to do very well with her. Thank you, Sarah, for stepping in a saving the day! We will definitely be using Sarah again!!!”
“Luliia was amazing with my toy poodle! She is my world so I made sure to look at reviews very carefully and she did not disappoint!! She sent me pics and videos of my baby everyday and Eevee looked like she had a blast and made new friends. I will definitely be booking with Luliia again. So happy we found someone who we could trust with our tiny 5 pound treasure.”
“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”
“Can’t say enough positive things about Lacey. She is a great communicator, always providing updates and pics, is a great caregiver and a true lover of dogs. My boy had a great time staying with her, made pots of new friends and was well taken care of and entertained during his stay. Would highly recommend to others and I will use her again in the future. Thanks Lacey!”
“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing taking care of Max! From the very beginning, she was attentive, kind, and incredibly responsible. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Max felt comfortable, happy, and truly cared for—something that means everything to me. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m beyond grateful for her care and would 100% trust her again. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for someone reliable, loving, and professional”

Cat caregivers near you - Buda
“Ariel did SUCH a great job while I was away. She made sure that my cats were happy and well taken care of. There was even a situation that happened with my apartment complex and getting in to see the animals and she above and beyond everything with a smile. Highly recommended!”
“Whitney was fantastic! She was reliable and was friendly with my cat, Fritz. She also took on a last minute booking when my flight was delayed and I couldn't get home in time. Would definitely recommend and will book with her again!”
“Rebekah is the best! I’ve worked with her a couple of times now and she makes me feel so at ease about leaving my cats at home while I travel. She sends lots of pictures and updates and I came home to my apartment even nicer than I left it! I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Juliana was so great with both of my kitties (even my shy gal loved her!) All the pictures and the rover cards were awesome. She gave each cat lots of attention and I loved seeing her updates come through. I would absolutely recommend Juliana!”
“Suzanne was amazing with Goose while I was away on a trip for the weekend. Great communication and even better service for a spoiled 11 yr old pitty! Highly recommend Suzanne for any of your pets needs.”
“Christian was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties with her. She took pictures every time she dropped in and even though one of my cats was too scared to come out, it felt nice knowing that someone was still checking on him and feeding them both. She even scooped out the litter box while she was here! I will use her again for sure.”
“Awesome pet sitter! Takes time to play/interact with my cat, and she sends the best pictures and notes. She also recognizes and respects my cat’s cues, which is a big thing I look for in a pet sitter.”
“Tracy was great at watching out two cats! I reached out to her due to her profile being more cat forward than most sitters on Rover being more dog focused. We recently adopted a new shelter baby that we had to keep separated from our long term 13 year old cat due to them fighting and stalking each other so we already had our hands full before leaving town that we had to hand off to Tracy. She handled both cats with such care taking the time to give each of them the attention they needed and giving extra love to our new cat after realizing that he really needed it. She even made an emergency visit due to him knocking his cat tree into his litter box, which was so appreciated! I'd definitely hire Tracy again for our cats needs next time we're out of town and fingers crossed they're both together and friends by then! :)”
“Whit took such great care of our cat, Purrky! He showered him with so much love, attention, playtime, and treats, and carefully followed all the instructions we left. Whit also kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos from every visit, which we really appreciated. It honestly gave us so much peace of mind knowing Purrky was in such good hands. Highly recommend Whit as a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! ✅”
“Michelle was wonderful with our little scaredy cat, Ninja. She actually was able to get some photos of her and saw her a few times. Usually the sitters never see her. Ninja was much calmer when we got home than previous trips. Knowing that Michelle is watching our furbaby really helped us relax on our trip. We will certainly use her again!!”
“Julie is a top notch cat sitter! In addition to giving my cats the love and play that they need, Julie sends me updates and pictures with every visit, which makes being a way much less stressful. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Buda
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“Shristi & Nabin were great with Max! Patient, flexible, soft spoken, Also great communicators, they send plenty of photos and respond quickly. Would definitely recommend and would book again!”
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“Yan was a great Dogsitter for my Theo. Yan sent several photos throughout the day and I could tell Theo was enjoying his stay and play dates with the other dogs. I definitely will use her servíces again, if she’ll have us back. ☺️”
“Savannah and Gabriel are great with my puppy Peaches!! They are attentive to her needs and provide me with photos/updates during the day. She also comes home tired after playing with their doggie!! They’re the best!!”
About: Hi, my name is Kalena. I've been providing dedicated and loving pet care for the past ten years. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—they’re truly the best part of my life. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Luck, to cancer, and more recently, my 1-year-old cat, Mio, to heart failure. These losses deepened my passion and commitment to being a voice and source of comfort for animals in need. I'm currently pursuing my master’s degree at Texas State University and looking for a side job to help support my education. You can find me on Rover, where I proudly hold a 5.0 rating for my compassionate and reliable pet care services. I've worked with a range of young puppies and kittens to older dogs and cats. I've volunteered at a dog rescue center (Four Legged Ranch) multiple times. I've also worked with a breeder and I've helped clean the crates, pick up poop, feed them and more. My clients and their pet are my number one priority and I can only hope they are satisfied with my service. My goal of my service is to always treat your pets like they are my own and make sure they go back to you happy and healthy. Trust and communication are also the key to my service, so I will provide you with a thorough details and pictures/videos. I am currently pursuing masters at Texas State University, so my schedule is flexible, except Mondays and Wednesdays. I have classes from 11am-2:20pm. I also have internship for 4 hours from Monday through Thursday from 3:30pm-7:30pm. On Mondays & Wednesdays, I will stop by my home in between my class and internship to let the dogs out and give them attention before leaving. Other than that, I am home full time. I will care for your furbaby as if they are mine. They will get undivided attention and love. I will always make sure your furbaby goes back to you happy and healthy.
“Frances was fantastic! She kept us in the loop about how our beloved puppy was doing all day while in daycare. We appreciate the amount of activity she initiated, and the fact that her dogs made great friends to help calm our dog. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Although new to official pet sitting, I’ve owned and taken care of dogs most of my adult life. I’m a retired yoga teacher with a very playful 9 month old Frenchton. I have lots of time and patience to take care of your pooch. I’m retired so I control my own schedule. I’m available 2-3 days a week. We are pet parents to a lovable Frenchton pup, so it will be important to communicate to make sure our furries are compatible. I have a large fenced in yard with a dog door and a wide open floor plan for the dogs to play inside. I will only ever take on one pet at a time so the only compatibility issues will revolve around matching up with our goofy 9 month old Frenchton.
“Anthony took amazing care of my dog He is super friendly and sent us pics and updates as requested. The place was super clean with play area inside. Also nice and secure clean yard. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”
“Marcel was an amazing sitter for my dog, Dakota! He was extremely communicative throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. He took her on the longest walk she could’ve dreamed of and made sure she was completely comfortable in his home. His house is the perfect setup for doggy day care or even an overnight stay—spacious, calm, and pet-friendly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be returning to him!”
“Danielle was great with my senior Maltipoo. She did provide me with text messages and pictures of how Bela was doing. She was very reassuring that Bela would be fine. I felt very comfortable with her and her fur baby Jasmine who by the way was very calm and polite with Bela their new house guest. I will definitely continue to book with Danielle when she is available. Love the fact that she works out of her home, which is extremely clean, has a fenced big yard and when you walk into her home it has a warm welcoming feel. She only takes in one client at a time and this is what I wanted so my baby wouldn't be overwhelmed by too many other pets around. Oh, and a big plus is there are no children in her home. Thanks again Danielle for being there when we needed you.”
“Andrea & Jimmy have been awesome to work with! They’re super reliable, flexible, and always take great care of my pup. I use them regularly and always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey was great!! She dog sat my crazy energetic puppy and every night my dog came home and went right to bed. My dog was so excited when we pulled up to her house for the second time! Kelsey sent videos and updates which I loved. Would highly recommend and will for sure use her again (:”
“Super friendly ! I can tell how much they loved my sweet boy, I was honestly so nervous about leaving him. But Fernando and his wife were so kind and reassuring, even Ballas seemed to love them. :) Absolutely will be considering them again if I need another day care day!”
“Thorough, accommodating and a good instinct for animals, Nanda was great for keeping our two heeler mixes company with her while we worked over three long days. Great with both our puppy and seven-year-old, she's a relief to have as an option to watch the dogs.”

About: I grew up with dogs, and always had a love for dogs. I don’t have dogs currently at home because I believe in helping others with their dogs and I’m trying to figure out what kind of dog I will adopt later on. I currently am self-employed so my schedule is flexible. Usually have errands but it takes less than a few hours. I make sure dogs are first priority though. My house is spacious- no dangerous edges for dogs to run into. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can roam. I also believe in keeping my house clutterfree so dogs cannot get into things. Take them on walks if required as well.
“Faith is amazing. When ever we need a last minute sitter she's available. Our Nala girl gets so excited when she comes to visit and walk her. Definitely would recommend to book her ❤️”
“We recently had the pleasure of employing Adeline to walk our beloved dogs, Benny and Mia. We are absolutely thrilled with the level of service she provided. Adeline's friendliness is immediately apparent. From the get-go, Adeline was incredibly responsive, promptly answering any queries. Her communication skills are indeed top-notch. It appeared Benny and Mia were extremely content with their walk and returned home exhausted, a sure sign of a successful walk full of fun and exercise. Furthermore, Adeline managed to capture these delightful moments with fantastic photos. In the future, we will not hesitate to use Adeline's services again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for years—everything from energetic puppies to senior pets. I’m attentive, patient, and love creating a safe, loving environment where every pet feels at home. Walks, cuddles, and routines are all part of my day! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I start and end my days with dog walks, playtime, and feeding schedules. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and love throughout the day. Weekends are perfect for longer walks, hikes, or cuddle time on the couch! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely—from feeding schedules to medication needs. I use secure leashes, double-check gates and doors, and keep constant supervision during walks or playtime. I build trust through patience, calm energy, and plenty of positive attention so every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease.
“Professional and kind. Took amazing care of my senior dog while I was away. It was a last minute booking and she accommodated my request. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: As a veterinary technician and future vet student, I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, personalities, and medical needs — from healthy, energetic pets to sick or senior animals needing extra attention and patience. I grew up around animals and have raised my own dog since my first years of college, so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether it’s walks, medications, monitoring behavior, or simply giving them love and comfort, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, but I’m off every Tuesday and on the weekends as well! Weekends are way more flexible for me as I can fit in more time with pets. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether that means sitting outside with them while they potty in the backyard, taking them on walks, sticking to specific feeding or medication schedules, or simply giving them company and affection, I’m happy to adapt to what your pet is used to. Every animal is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.
About: I have been dog/cat sitting with Rover since 2022 and I enjoy every bit of it! I also have experience taking care of ferrets, chickens, and hamsters. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work from home with a lot of flexibility to care for other pets as well as my own. I enjoy going on walks and lounging/playing outside in my backyard. I have a fenced yard and a very sweet/playful dog. I am rarely outside of my home for more than 4 hours at a time.
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!

“Kalena did a fantastic job with my two pups! They didn’t get to meet Kalena before we booked, and Kalena took the time to let them warm up before their walk. They clung to Kalena right away and the pictures were adorable! Thank you so much - I highly recommend!”
About: Since I was 7, I cared for my own emotional support rescue dog who was an adorable chihuahua rat terrier mix! Growing up with pets while managing anxiety allowed me to direct my focus on them when I was struggling, which created a deeper passion and care for all animals. I'm a very empathetic and honest person, which created a frequent habit of caring for the pets of friends & family while they were on vacation. A funny anecdote to share, my family actually unanimously decided to fly to Las Vegas to buy an RV, solely for the ability to bring our cats & dogs on our travels! I've seen 4 of my own pets into seniority (my cats both lived to their 20s & 2 dog to late teens), so I'm well versed in geriatric (elderly/senior) care and know how much patience & love our older fur friends need, as well as how messy and tricky it can get. I've grown up with a family who cares so deeply for their animals that they're very much seen as our family members, and due to this, we've seldom let our dogs be cared for even by people we're close to. My number one priority is to establish a sense of trust with both you and your pet, in whatever ways bring you the most ease. I adore all animals - I've even done wildlife rehabilitation too! I'm very open and encouraging to meet-and-greets before care is established to make sure your dog or cat is happy with me, as well as hear about any preferences your pet may have and establish trust with the owners. I'm working on getting my certification in school, so currently my schedule is very flexible and I can move things around to work with your schedule really well! I'll be available most weekdays after 2pm & I can do weekends as well, though occasionally I spend them hiking :). For the summer months (typically worst in July + August here in Texas), I'd like to note I intend to be very aware of the warm days to watch for heatstroke & bring additional water with me. The temperature of the sidewalk can easily be enough to cause pain to paws, especially on sunny days, so when the temperature and weather gets dodgy I may contact you about it beforehand to ensure your pup never suffers! I'd love to do a free meet & greet before further care is established in order to build a sense of trust and acceptance with both your pet, and you. I want to ensure your dog or cat feels accepting of me before I spend time with them, I'm eager to learn any specific preferences or behaviors specific to your pet, and I'd love to hear what puts your mind at ease when allowing another person to care for such a beloved companion - such as photo updates or frequent text updates from me. I take extreme care to not let any escape artists sneak through doors, and I cross the sidewalk to avoid other dogs or people to keep your pet safe. I'll walk at your dog's pace and stay attentive to make sure they're enjoying it. If I'm visiting your home, all will be left exactly as I found it. If it's a rainy and muddy day, I'll do my best to keep your place clean from your pet. I won't give your pet treats without explicit permission in case of dietary restrictions, but I'll tell them all about how good & adorable they are!

“Yan is an EXCELLENT sitter. We are very pleased with her services. She provided photos with updates on how well the 2 Yorkies were doing while in her care. We are definitely going to use her services again.”
“The backyard gave Tucker lots of high quality play time and Desmond & Robyn were fantastic at sending me pictures of Tucker intermittently throughout the day. Next time I am in need of a sitter, Desmond & Robyn will definitely be my first choice. Highly recommend!”
“Marcel was great! He and his two boys kept Gemma active, and super happy. He sent regular pictures and videos and she looked like she was having a ball. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Marcel!”
“I am so grateful for Morgan! She took great care of my dachshund for an entire week! She asked me how often I wanted to be updated and she continuously updated me to my request. My dog was on medication while she watched him and she would always update me with the time he took his medication (which I didn’t ask her to do) but it gave me peace of mind knowing he never missed a medication! She’s is a beautiful soul and your dog will be lucky to be loved by her while you’re away! ?”
“Rachel was so comfortable and nurturing with my pup. She knows a lot about dogs and knew what to do with my little guy. He was well cared for there and got lots of snuggles. I felt comfortable leaving him there in her hands. She was great to work with.”
“Gail took such great care of my dog Charlie while I was away! I loved getting all the updates and photos, it made me feel so relaxed knowing he was happy and well cared for. And her backyard is a total dog paradise, he was living his best life! Would 100% book with her again.”
“Floyd and Romie loved staying at Amanda’s! I got lots of photo updates while I was away, and Amanda did a great job at giving one of my dogs her daily medicine. Would definitely recommend Amanda if you need a dog sitter!”
“River had a great stay. He’s a high-energy chocolate lab, and they handled him really well. We got consistent updates and photos without having to ask, which I appreciated. He looked comfortable the whole time and got plenty of playtime and walks. Communication was easy and they were flexible with timing and his collar setup. Everything felt really smooth. Already booked with them again.”
“Angie was amazing to our boy Finn. They really loved him while we were on an extended trip. Angie was great at sending pictures of Finn and he really settled in with their family. We would definitely stay with Angie and her family again, and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”
“My fiancé and I had to leave for a few days to Houston for her niece’s baptism. Lisa watched our dog, Scout, for us and she did an amazing job. Her dog and Scout got along very well. She has a nice/big backyard that he was able to play in! She made sure to send us updates/photos everyday while we were away, which was so thoughtful and made us feel good knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Lisa again for sitting!”

“Luliia was amazing with my toy poodle! She is my world so I made sure to look at reviews very carefully and she did not disappoint!! She sent me pics and videos of my baby everyday and Eevee looked like she had a blast and made new friends. I will definitely be booking with Luliia again. So happy we found someone who we could trust with our tiny 5 pound treasure.”
“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”
“Can’t say enough positive things about Lacey. She is a great communicator, always providing updates and pics, is a great caregiver and a true lover of dogs. My boy had a great time staying with her, made pots of new friends and was well taken care of and entertained during his stay. Would highly recommend to others and I will use her again in the future. Thanks Lacey!”
“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”
“Brian was an incredible sitter to Winnie when I was out of the country for two weeks. He provided consistent updates and I could tell that Winnie was having a great time. It’s hard to find sitters you can trust but Brian is one of those sitters. I Would 100% recommend Brian to anyone and I look forward time having Winnie stay with him again.”
“Grace & Allen went above & beyond to make sure our boy Buster had an amazing time with them and that we felt confident & secure that we left him in good hands. They asked lots of questions to make sure he was taken care of the exact same way he is at home and seemed very knowledgeable and passionate. Buster loved playing with their sweet dogs and they sent us tons of adorable pictures throughout his stay as well as a goodie bag with treats in it when we picked him up :) Fantastic people (and dogs), Buster is already asking to go back again!”
