“We left our dog with Andrew for a month, and he was fantastic! He took great care of our pet and sent daily updates about his wellness. We're super happy with his service and would definitely recommend him for future pet care needs. Thanks, Andrew! 🙏🐶”
“Derek and Kristina were so kind. They helped me out last minute and it means a lot. This was Roxie first time being with anyone other than us and she was happy! I really appreciate them. Roxie looks forward to seeing them again soon!”
“Juan and his family were wonderful! They took excellent care of Sasuke. Right off the bat, when I first met him, I got a great first impression and Sasuke took kindly to him (which is always a plus)….He was warm and friendly and was great with my pup. He made us both feel comfortable. During Sasuke’s stay, Juan sent me photos of my baby having fun, which was really nice. Definitely booking again.”
“Judith was great! She had excellent communication and listened to the care my pup, Greg, needed and accommodated him! I know Greg was in great hands, which gave me peace of mind while he stayed at her house! Greg and her dog got along great during his stay as well! I would highly recommend!”
“Salene did an amazing job with our pup! This was her first time being away from home so we were a little nervous cause she can be a little crazy puppy! But Salene was very patient and it helped having her little doggies be friends with ours! She sent photos and updated every day and snuggled with our little one cause she loves the cuddles! Highly recommended and will be using her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful first experience with our dog Pepper. We received happy videos and pictures of our puppy every day which my kids appreciated so much. Donessa was so attentive to any questions we had. We will definitely be back!!”
“Maria was the sweetest! Super welcoming and helped us in a last second crunch. Elsa really enjoyed her time with Maria and her family. Maria kept me up to date with what Ms. Elsa was doing throughout the entire visit. I will for sure book with Maria and her family again!”
“Kathryn was great! First time booking with a Rover and it was a great experience! Willy was well loved and returned home exhausted from all of his fun playtime.”
“Leslie and Jonathon were wonderful! They sent me videos and pictures of Remi daily and took him on walks. And when my air bnb offered me an extra night, they were so easy to accommodate one more night!”
“Where do I even begin Charlotte had an amazing time at Alexandra’s home. She took such good care of her. She kept me updated daily with photos and updates on how Charlotte was doing. Charlotte also got along with her sweet dogs. She came back happy and tired which indicates to me she had a blast! Thanks Alexandra for everything! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Lisa took great care of Sully during our long trip this year of over 2 weeks! She sent us lots of photos and updates, and made sure that he was comfortable and safe during his stay.”
“TJs stay with Nicole was Awesome! I needed a dog sitter quickly. I searched for sitters within 2 day before my trip and Nicole responded very promptly. She sent me pics periodically through out the duration of TJs stay which we loved! Before the stay we did a meet and greet that allowed TJ to get a sense of where he would be and for me to see the house. I would highly recommend Nicole for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter that will treat your pet like her own!”
“Amazing experience with Sherri as she took good care of my dog and sent daily pics of her. She was wonderful in making my dog feel like a part of her family (my dog fell in love with Sherri’s little boy!!) and I would definitely recommend her service for everyone. I definitely will be returning to her again!!”
“Perfect! Here’s a version tailored for the Rover.com community—friendly, warm, and just the right tone for fellow pet parents: --- I’m so thankful I found Kelli on Rover! She took amazing care of my dog, Charlie, while I was on vacation. She sent me daily updates with the sweetest pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Charlie was having a blast and felt completely at home with her. I could relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend Kelli—she’s the best!”
“Our two girls had a wonderful time with Candie and her dog! She was so welcoming and opened her home to them, and they quickly made themselves right at home. In every photo and video, they looked like they were having a blast—playing, running around, and resting comfortably. We'll definitely be using Candie again for any future trips!”
“April took real good care of Simba. We enjoyed our trip without any worry and she has been sharing photos, videos and well being on a regular basis which gave us confidence that he is in good hands. She is very flexible during drop off and pickup. Really recommend her and her family.”
“Amanda seemed great with our dog! He was so happy he didn’t want to come home. Sounds like they did all kinds of things. We’re just boring mom and dad. He’s much better now and drinking water. Maybe he learned there. He’s never been a big water drinker, even in the hot summer! Thank you both for taking such good care of our “baby”. Stephanie Morgan”

About: At 31 years old, I’ve been caring for pets most of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, chickens, and open to all other animals. I currently have 3 of my own adorable fur babies—two sweet kitties and a large, loving pyranees boy. I’ve dealt with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Bulldogs are a-okay, as are any potentially sick animals or those that require a bit more care. I’m not afraid of a mess, and I’ll always put your animal’s safety and comfort first. My schedule is flexible and versatile so please consider me for your pet-care needs. :) Rates are negotiable per client needs and my availability. I work part time but have a pretty open schedule otherwise. Willing to work with you as long as communication is done in advance. Certain holidays and weekends are open for discussion. Pets will be cared for in client’s home only. I prefer houses with fenced yards, but am willing to take your pet(s) out if needed as long as a leash is provided.
About: I have owned pets my entire life and want to be able to spread the love by taking care of your fur babies. I currently have 2 playful cats at home, but have been a dog person all my life (until this year lol). I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, puppies kittens… whatever your pet needs! I have a full time job but am completely available on weekends to play with your pups and kittens. I am also available after 4pm on week days for occasional walks and drop ins. I have two playful cats at home who are very friendly. I have also owned dogs my entire life and know what it takes to care for them. Especially very energetic ones.
“She is hands down the best dog sitter that I’ve ever encountered, and I will definitely work with her again in the foreseeable future. She made me feel at ease with everything, and I didn’t have anything to worry about when it came to my animals’ safety and the security of my home. She’s very communicative and attentive when it came to the animals’ activity/progress. She is extremely awesome, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best dog sitter on the planet.”
About: Hello! My name is Andrew Bickford and I grew up owning and taking care of dogs over the years. I have been on Rover for a few years now and can’t wait to meet all of your dogs and care for them like my own. I previously had a dog walking business before and am probably one of the biggest dog people out there! I have more than 18 years of experience taking care of and loving on animals over the years. Don’t have time with work, school and other priorities to walk, feed or take care of your dogs/cats, then contact me to make things easier for you! Give me a call or book me and I can’t wait to take care of your animals! Thank you so much! I currently work from home during the day and will be there to take care of your pup or cat, feed them, go on walks, and make sure they stay safe while boarded or with me. Let me know your preferences on how often they eat and would like to go on walks and we will make it happen! I have a fenced backyard and no dogs or cats so I can prioritize your pets and make sure they have a fun experience! I can also crate them if needed as well.
About: Hi there! I’m Rebeccah, a proud dog mom to my sweet rescue pup, Charlotte Kate. Growing up, I was lucky to have a whole zoo of pets around me, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of dogsitting for so many wonderful families with all kinds of breeds, and I truly love each and every one of them! If you choose me as your sitter, I promise to treat your dog like my own—lots of love, attention, and care are guaranteed! I’m responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I know how much your furry friend means to you. I’ll send you plenty of updates and pictures so you’ll always know how your fur baby is doing and can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m so excited to meet you and your pup! Can’t wait to share some fun moments together! I work full time from home so I am here daily. They will be supervised and loved on! They will also be let out often. I will follow instructions given to me and will follow their routine. I am flexible and will care with the pets with lots of love!
“So thankful I found Rickey to look after my cats! Immediately trusted that they would be cared for properly. Love the picture and video updates! Allowed me to take a worry free vacation. Thanks Rickey!”

“Mary Lou is great with my cat Blondie, I always leave feeling confident that she is in good hands. I have a high maintenance cat and she meets every need! I definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.
About: My name is Luke Smith and I am 20 years old. I’ve been helping take care of pets for friends and family as long as I can remember. I have grown up around animals my whole life and consider them a big part of the family. We have 2 dogs, 1 pitbull/catahoula and 1 Mastiff, 2 cats, 3 parakeets, and a snake. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing, or just giving love and attention to my animals, I have always enjoyed taking care of them. I will strive to protect, care for, and make sure your animals feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same! Personal opinion but EVERY dog is very different and what works with one may not with the next !
“Did a fantastic job of taking care of our cat. She is a little more needy due to medical issues and Cheyenne stepped up to the plate and took care of what she needed. Our cat bonded with Cheyenne quickly and we will definitely ask her back again! Highly recommend Cheyenne”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities since I was 10 from playful kittens to shy or senior cats that need extra patience. At home, I make sure my own cats are well fed, groomed, and loved every day, I have 4. One of them is on campus with me . I also volunteer with the SMU feral cat community, where I help feed, monitor, and care for stray and outdoor cats on campus. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their cats while they’re away, knowing I’m attentive, gentle, and experienced in reading feline behavior.

“Great host! Prompt communication and feedback. Even though it was a short few hours stay, Selena shared multiple updates throughout. And most importantly, Mylo seems had good time with new friends. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have 2 dogs, 2 cats. And several fosters through the year. So I run a small pack here. I am very experienced with managing multiple pets at a time. I work from home. A cat sleeps on my desk. And one or two dogs will sleep under it. I work from home. I begin the day by feeding the pack. Followed by vacuuming the mountains of fur. Followed by some morning calls. Then a walk if the weather is nice. And another one in the evening. Then move on to dinner, and bed time. Dogs usually sleep on or near the bed depending on the dog. The cats will do their cat thing. When a new pet comes into the home for boarding, I keep a close eye on things. I make sure to give them some time to decompress alone if needed. And then I introduce them to the pack. I keep a close eye on food and toys as they can sometimes lead to arguments. If I step out I may lock them up. Until I am comfortable that they will be ok unsupervised.
About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.
“I was so nervous using Rover, but Lisa and David were amazing! My dog and I had the best experience! I loved getting photos, videos, and updates during his stay. He came home tired each day. They're yard is HUGE! Perfect for my energetic 1 year old husky mix! He got all the love and attention he needed throughout the day. I highly recommend booking with Lisa and David. I'll be using their service again very soon.”
“I had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Jojo, in Titi’s care for two days, and she was absolutely wonderful! Titi was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure Jojo was happy and well looked after. She sent me updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Jojo was in great hands. Jojo seemed to have had a blast and came home tired and content. Highly recommend Titi for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog caregiver.”
“We needed last minute care for Charlie and so glad we found Chery and family. She was so accommodating. Charlie was comfortable with her and she sent updates. Thank you so much!”
“Mika did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. No hesitation in recommending 100%. She's very kind and has a gentle demeanor. She provides frequent updates and offer great communication.”
“I booked daycare for my puppy. Kenzie sent me frequent photo and video updates, which gave me peace of mind. I asked her to help my puppy develop social skills, and she did her best to make that happen. I’d love to ask her again. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, Ive had the pleasure of taking care of dogs since the age of 13 yrs old. I'm a mom of 2 children and 2 fur babies who are highly loved within our home. We hope to see your fur baby around!

“Always takes the best care of Dallas. I swear she never wants to leave Kathryns house. She literally pulls back on her leash to go back. Thats when you know your pup was well cared for and loved. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Sri! As a dog mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I know the little things that make dogs feel safe and happy — from keeping their routine consistent to giving them plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m patient with shy pups, gentle with seniors, and full of energy for playful ones. Whether it’s a quick drop‑in or an overnight stay, I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. As a dog mom, I’m used to planning my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need, whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or just sitting together for comfort. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to fit in — it’s part of my normal routine, and I truly enjoy it. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, comfortable space to relax, fresh water at all times, and a routine that matches what they’re used to. I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime & nap time throughout the day. I keep a close eye on their behavior and needs, and I’m always ready to adjust to make them feel happy and secure. We live in a house with a huge backyard where the dogs can play.
“Gülay and Baris made my anxious little pup feel comfortable and happy. He had a great day with them evidenced by the photos and video they shared. Very communicative sitters who made the whole process easy! Will definitely book again.”

“I had never hired a dog walker until I met Joshna and her family. Before our 1st scheduled walk they came by for a quick meet and greet which was very nice and really took the time to get to know our fur baby. I now book them on a regular basis and I can’t express enough how great they are!! I’d definitely recommend them to friends and fam!”

“Awesome dog walker! I’ve used her twice so far and my dogs seem to really enjoy her company. She’s quick to respond, great communication, and very pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, dog trained, and truly recognize that bond owners have & how important it is to make sure i can make both dog parents and dog comfortable with me. ☺️ I am a stay at home mom to my daughter so we have plenty of time to love your babies! We love new experiences and we both LOVE dogs! ☺️ Making sure they trust me and i give them their space if needed. Feeding, cuddles, walks & playtime are what we love for! In either home, they will always get the same amount of affection that we give our own. I truly have a special place in my heart for dogs so whatever is needed, will be done. ☺️
About: I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love, I can’t imagine life without dogs. Every dog deserves to feel valued, and if I can give your pup a little extra love than they already receive from you, I’d be honored! Pet care is part of my daily routine with my pups already—feeding, walking, playing, and cuddling. It brings structure, joy, and a sense of responsibility to my week. I take caring for my own pets and others very seriously—I make sure they receive enough quality time, food, walking, playing, and attention. I want them to feel safe, happy, and loved whether in my home or a client’s.
About: I have had all kinds of fur babies my whole life, in my 20 years i’ve have more than 10 animals i’ve taken care of. I’m in love with all animals and think they deserve the world. I work part time as a CNA in a nursing home, so I will pick up “shifts” with your babies whenever I am not at the nursing home. Spending time playing with your fur babies will be high on my priority list. The ability to build trust with you and your animals before being alone with them would be very useful as well
About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to giving every dog the same love, patience, and understanding I give my own. Before moving here, I was a foster mom for dogs in Puerto Rico and a proud member of OICA (Organization for the Welfare of Animals). During that time, I cared for dogs of all kinds — from shy rescues learning to trust again to energetic pups eager to explore the world. That experience taught me how to read their personalities, ease their fears, and make them feel safe and loved. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care and know how to provide comfort and gentle support for older pups who need a slower pace. My own dog, Channel, is a joyful, friendly companion who loves meeting new friends and helps visiting dogs feel right at home. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my family. I provide reliable, attentive care and always make sure each dog gets the affection, playtime, and structure they need. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry loved one feels safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. 🐾💛 As a retired animal lover, I’m fortunate to have the time and flexibility to dedicate my days to caring for pets. My schedule revolves around making sure the animals I look after are happy, comfortable, and well cared for — never the other way around. Because I’m home most of the day, I can provide plenty of personal attention, consistent routines, and companionship. Morning walks, playtime in the yard, and quiet cuddle moments are a regular part of my day. I also enjoy keeping a calm, peaceful environment that helps pets feel relaxed and at ease, especially those who might be anxious or adjusting to a new space. Being retired also means I’m never rushed — I can take the time each pet deserves. Whether it’s giving a senior dog extra care, keeping up with an energetic pup, or spending quality time with a cat who loves company, pet care isn’t just part of my day — it’s what brings joy and purpose to it. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet in my home with love, patience, and attention, just as I would my own. Animals are never just guests — they become part of the family while they’re here. My home has a nice yard fenced yard with a covered patio, perfect for playtime, lounging, or a little sunbathing for dogs who enjoy soaking up the sun. I always keep a close eye on them to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Inside, pets stay with me at all times — they’re never left alone or kept apart. Whether we’re relaxing in the living room, playing, or simply enjoying quiet time together, they’ll always have company and care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and right at home from the moment they arrive. 🐾❤️
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the dependable, loving care I bring to every pet I meet. I grew up showing livestock, so being around animals, from dogs and cats to livestock, has always been second nature to me. That upbringing taught me responsibility, patience, and how to tune into what animals need, even when they can't say it out loud. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, whether it's helping with puppy training, giving extra love to senior dogs, or just making sure your pup sticks to their routine while you're away. I'm also super communicative and always happy to send updates and photos. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like family, with tons of love, respect, and tail-wagging fun. I am a graduate from Texas A&M and I have free time on weekends to walk, feed, and check up on dogs. I am not allowed to have any animals at my house so this gives me the chance to give all of my love that I have for animals and help someone that is needing a sitter. Growing up I was around my dogs everyday. I went on walks with them, played and trained them and even took them to get pup cups. I would give pets my undivided attention when I am taking care of them and will treat them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats and have experience training both. I have walked dogs for friends and have experience training dogs in basic training and agility. I also have owned cats for most of my life. I am currently a teacher working full time and part time side hustles so i’m looking for a job that allows flexibility. This job offers me the opportunity to create a custom daily and weekly schedules. I will care for pets as if they were my own and treat any clients home as if were my own. I hope to leave the impression that a house is left in better shape than it was and that the pet is well taken care of.
About: I have two large breed dogs, and I can train dogs to do basic commands. I have taken care of animals ranging from rabbits and goats to horses. I have much experience with senior cats. I have cared for a cat for 17 years who was blind, and I just had to put down my 15 yr old cat due to thyroid issues for which I gave her meds twice a day. I have also bottle fed baby animals and had to assist one of my dogs when she had a litter of 11 puppies, which I cared for on my own. My only job right now is caring for my two dogs and my cat! So I have plenty of time to pet sit and or walk pets. I will care for the pets in my client's home according to their exact specifications. I can't bring other animals into my home as I already have 3 pets.
About: I love animals and I have a dog myself. I will take care of your animal like if they were my own. I am looking to help I work from home so I can manage my work with this new side hustle. I have a passion for animals and I have a passion to help people. I have a dog who is my best bud we do everything together and I will watch over your dog like if they were my own

“Juan and his family were wonderful! They took excellent care of Sasuke. Right off the bat, when I first met him, I got a great first impression and Sasuke took kindly to him (which is always a plus)….He was warm and friendly and was great with my pup. He made us both feel comfortable. During Sasuke’s stay, Juan sent me photos of my baby having fun, which was really nice. Definitely booking again.”

“Lisa took great care of Sully during our long trip this year of over 2 weeks! She sent us lots of photos and updates, and made sure that he was comfortable and safe during his stay.”
“TJs stay with Nicole was Awesome! I needed a dog sitter quickly. I searched for sitters within 2 day before my trip and Nicole responded very promptly. She sent me pics periodically through out the duration of TJs stay which we loved! Before the stay we did a meet and greet that allowed TJ to get a sense of where he would be and for me to see the house. I would highly recommend Nicole for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter that will treat your pet like her own!”
“Amazing experience with Sherri as she took good care of my dog and sent daily pics of her.

I definitely will be returning to her again!!”
“Perfect! Here’s a version tailored for the Rover.com community—friendly, warm, and just the right tone for fellow pet parents: --- I’m so thankful I found Kelli on Rover! She took amazing care of my dog, Charlie, while I was on vacation. She sent me daily updates with the sweetest pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Charlie was having a blast and felt completely at home with her. I could relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend Kelli—she’s the best!”
“Amanda seemed great with our dog! He was so happy he didn’t want to come home. Sounds like they did all kinds of things. We’re just boring mom and dad. He’s much better now and drinking water. Maybe he learned there. He’s never been a big water drinker, even in the hot summer! Thank you both for taking such good care of our “baby”. Stephanie Morgan”

Her family is also very friendly, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely leave my pets with her again and would highly recommend her for both dog sitting and boarding.”
“Keri was extremely accommodating and professional during scheduling and throughout our fur baby’s stay. You can tell she knows her K9s and really loves them all.
