“Margarita was AMAZING!! I have never left my pup with anyone and he is intimidated by bigger dogs as he doesn't have much exposure to others. When we got there she was so welcoming and we immediately felt at ease. She communicated with us daily with texts, pictures even videos!! We had a great vibe when we first came across her profile and she is definitely our permanent sitter! Thank you Margarita! Also, we loved Mimi :)”

“Robyn & Joshua were great! This was our first time booking with them and they took excellent care of both our dog and cat together. Their kids were very sweet to our pets and they provided lots of photos and daily updates. 100% would recommend!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for a week long vacation and a friend recommended Rover. Having never used Rover before, we were nervous about leaving our pup with a “stranger”. Lovanna was very understanding and even agreed to meet with us before finalizing the booking. She took great care of Ruby, picked her up from our house the day we left and when our flight home was pushed back she even brought her back home - which wasn’t the original plan. We are new to the area and really appreciated finding such a caring, understanding and flexible sitter on such short notice.”
“I like Nubia’s service because she treats my dog like her own. My dog is always excited to see Nubia when dropping her off. I like this service a lot because the detailed care she provides to my dog every time.”

“What Jessica a took care of all of our dogs are big German Shepherd, Rockweiler, and our two Chihuahuas. They were very happy to see us, but they looked very contented and well taken care of for our weekend away from home. I appreciate the fact that they were so well loved. This is the first time all three of them have bought it together at a residence and I’m so glad it worked out.”
“The communication was awesome. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs here. They were well taken care of and spoiled. I honestly don't think they wanted to leave. They were having a blast. Highly recommend and will book again! Thanks for everything!”

“Madelin was amazing! It was my dogs first time before around others and he seemed to take to them well! Madelin provided photos/vidoes everyday along with any updates. I love how communicative she was. She also helped out with the tear build up he gets sometimes without even being asked! I am so glad she was the sitter he has every had and I’ll definitely be back.”
“I want to gate keep but I won’t! Alexus was absolutely awesome with my doggies! I really appreciate her attentiveness to my fur babies, and I love the fact that she kept me informed of how my boys were doing during their stay. I will definitely be using Alexus again and again and again whenever I need Boarding for my boys and if she’s available, she’s definitely my first choice”
“This was my first time I used Rover. I had to go out of town for a few days. Prior to leaving my Dog Dusty with Min, I took him over so she could meet him. When I first met Min, she was warm and friendly. When I was leaving, she immediately got acquainted with my dog and took him outside and walked him. I felt comfortable and knew my dog would be in good hands. While I was away, Min kept me informed several times a day about his eating and potty time. She gave him his medication daily and sent me Videos of Dusty playing with other dogs. Min did a great job caring for my dog. I will definitely be using her services in the near future!”
“I loved how friendly Sian was and how relaxed myself and our dogs felt as soon as we walked in the door. This was our first stay and first time meeting Sian and her pup Travis. We will book with her again. One of my dogs never eats when momma is away, but he ate at Sian's house! They got lots of playtime and snuggles. Sian sent the right amount of photos and checkins so that we knew they were good but were not distracted during our vacation. She commuicated when one of our dogs threw up, which isn't unusual for his sensitive stomach.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Bella, Luna, and Charles. From the start, she was professional, attentive, and clearly cared deeply about my pets’ well-being—but what truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected situation. One of my cats had a mishap while I was away, and she went completely above and beyond. She handled everything with such care, patience, and compassion, keeping me informed while also taking the initiative to make sure my pets were comfortable, clean, and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone so capable and thoughtful was there. On top of that, Bella and Luna were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I returned, and Charles was in great spirits too. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made it effortless. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time I used Rover, and I was so nervous. The second Ella set foot in my house I felt at ease (which not an easy thing to do). I love the photos from every visit. Already booking my trip with Ella.”
“Ana was super responsive and reliable. She sent us pictures and gave us updates on any details worth noting. I will definitely book her again for future visits. My dogs loved the attention she gave them.”
“Bianca is wonderful - she does a great job with Patches and her medication. She is good at communicating. My mom loves her too. 🤗 (she lives with me but can’t do the rx)”
About: I have had and taken care of lots of cats! I absolutely love cats! I have worked at a groomers and have helped my aunt for many years at the animal clinic she worked at and the cats that she fosters!
About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Sat-Tues 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m empathetic and know when I need a break, so do they!
“We love Kayla! She treats our cats as if they are her own. She spends quality time with them and leaves us detailed notes and lots of pictures. She took the initiative to leave a second bowl of water. It gives us peace of mind to travel knowing that our cats are in Kayla’s care.”
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I offer drop-in visits and house sitting for cats, which means your kitty gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable: home. I’ll be honest, I’m primarily a dog person, but I have a genuine soft spot for cats and I’ve been around them my whole life. I know that every cat is completely different. Some want to be your best friend the second you walk in, and some need you to earn it. I read the room, respect their boundaries, and never force interaction, but I’m always ready with playtime and attention if they’re into it. I have a healthcare background and a graduate degree in nutrition, so detailed care instructions, medications, special diets, and specific routines are things I take seriously and follow to the letter. Your cat’s needs won’t get glossed over. For drop-ins I make sure food, water, litter, and any medications are handled, and I always stick around long enough to make sure they’re doing well before I leave. For house sitting, your home and your cat both get my full, unhurried attention. Expect photo updates so you can see for yourself that your independent little creature is thriving.
About: I didn’t grow up around cats, but I’ve always loved them and enjoy being around them whenever I get the chance. I’m patient, caring, and happy to give cats attention, playtime, and a calm environment while you’re away. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, litter box cleaning, and following any specific care instructions to make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable.
“William and his wife are such kind and caring people. They really understand animals and their unique patterns and habits. My cat, Basil, is an interesting and funny cat with odd quirks and they made him feel so comfortable! I would absolutely recommend their home to anyone who wants their pet to be treated with special care!”
About: I had two dogs growing up and now I have one 4 year old dog who I have been taken care of since 8th grade. I also occasionally take care of my neighbors dogs and cats. In August, I will be attending college on a track scholarship, and I will need to train a lot over the summer so this will allow me to fit in my training along with making some money before I go to college. My dog that I take care of now has tons of toys to play with, water bowl is constantly filled and is fed 2-3 times a day as required.
“Allison is a phenomenal sitter to my 3 cats! She was communicative throughout the whole process and very personable. Allison provided detailed updates and was very sweet in cleaning up after my cat when one had a couple of accidents. I returned home to happy furbabies. I highly recommend Allison and will book her again in thy future!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little tot. From cats to dogs, I do it all. When leaving your pet with me I will make sure to take top tier care of your baby. As I know how nerve racking it can be to leave them when you’re away. I will send updates daily to give you a peace of mind that they are in good spirits. Look forward to meeting your fur baby. <3 My day to day schedule is very flexible so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). Whether you need someone full or part time. When caring for pets in your home I love written instructions, but can easily adapt if there are none. If wet outside I will let them out to go to the bathroom then dry their fur before letting them enter the home.
About: I have a genuine love for caring for cats and have been around them from a young age. Over the years, I have taken in and cared for cats of different personalities and needs, which has given me a strong understanding of their behavior and routines. I have no allergies to cats and am comfortable providing daily care, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making both cats and their owners feel comfortable and secure.
“This was our first experience working with a pet sitter who wasn’t a family member stopping by while we are away. Janine was great with our fur babies and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. She even checked in after her last visit to make sure we were on schedule to make it back home as planned. I also appreciate the tips and info for doggie products as well as more practical ways to improve our daily routine with our fur babies. We definitely hope to continue to work with her in the future!”

“Shelby is fantastic! I have had my dog Ollie the Border Collie go to doggy daycare multiple times. Each time, she has worked with my crazy work schedule to make sure Ollie was loved on, played with, and taken care of. I think my pup likes her more than he likes me! 🙈😅 If you are in the Terrell area then there’s no one better at helping you with your pets than Shelby.”
About: I’ve loved and had pets my whole life! I have always had a hard time finding someone to help watch my own cats, so I figure I can help others that feel the same way! We currently have two kitties, Zoe Nugget and GirlCat (and yes, that’s her real name lol) . It’s been so fun to watch them interact with our daughter as she growsl. I swear she learned how to crawl by wanting to follow them around the house! Kitties are all so different and have special needs and personalities. Let me know how I can best help take care of your babes!! Meow! I was also foster mom for years to several dogs of all different breeds and ages! That experience made me understand why dogs are truly man's best friend and I quickly became a "foster failure" after adopting a deaf pitbull pup stole my heart forever! I even taught him sign language! Not having dogs now just gives me more time to help love on your pups! Let me know how I can provide them the best care for their specific needs! Woof woof! Update!!! Buddy, our two year old poodle, basically fell in our laps from God himself!! He was being mistreated and our friends were fostering him, but already had two large dogs and a toddler. I didn’t have any rover jobs booked at the time, so I offered to help watch him and we instantly fell in love! He’s the most gentle, sweet and calm dog I have EVER met! We just adopted him in the middle of February!! He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids! We’ve had no issues watching other rover pups and kitties since he joined the family!! I take pride in the fact that I do this job the way I would want someone to do it for me if I was going out of town or in need of a sitter! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your fur babes! I’m currently a stay at home mama, so I can be flexible to help take care of your pups and kitties whenever works best for their schedules! I can feed, give meds, brush, play and give all the pets and cuddles! I will treat them like they’re my own and follow any and all directions!
“My dogs love coming to Ashley’s! They feel so loved and cared for whenever they come to her for daycare. I feel so comfortable leaving them to her knowing they are taken care of like they’re their own babies. Ashley is always professional and flexible to my dogs’ needs. Love that they are so comfortable with her and her kids.”
“Sandra sent us great pics throughout the day. He had friends to play with and socialize. He got his medicine and was fed during his stay. He was in good spirits when we picked up.”
“I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the professional dog-sitting services provided by Iovanna B. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I was impressed by the level of care and attention they received. Iovanna's communication was prompt and informative, putting my mind at ease while I was away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals were evident throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Iovanna B's doggie sitting service to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”

“Namita was an awesome host for my fur babies. Provided plenty of picture updates every few hrs. Namita and her husband were very cooperative during the whole process. My dogs came home very happy. I didn't have to worry abt them even for a minute. I would surely recommend Namita to other pet parents. I surely would like to request Namita for future bookings. Thank you Namita.”
“We left our 1 year old super hyper lab with Nubia and it was an amazing experience! She made us feel at ease the whole time by sending us pictures and videos of how he was doing.

About: I love pets. I have owned a dog my whole life. On top of owning a dog I also would dog sit for neighbors in my neighborhood. I start dog sitting around the age of 12. I have dog sat puppies who needed to go out a lot as well as play with them a lot to get energy out. I also have watched elderly dogs. I have no problem cleaning up dog messes that can happen in the house. I have dealt with a wide variety of dog fluid due to my own dog. I am one who will get there hands dirty. I also love playing with pets and getting on the floor to get their energy out. I have a dog of my own. I make sure to get her outside multiple times a day as well as getting a walk in once a day. During the week I take my dog to the dog park to get interactions with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom who has a very flexible schedule. I have experience with excited dogs who love seeing new people or just getting out to walk. I make sure when walking dogs to give them time to explore while still keeping them safe. When walking if other people or dogs walk past i make sure the dog I am walking is by my side opposite of those walking past for safety.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do and I also have an old senior citizen grandpa named Hercules🐕. Don’t worry he sleeps all day and is impressed by food and food only! 😂 ✅I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you're away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.

I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your furry friends on YOUR schedule. You can count on me to dedicate my full attention to your beloved pets. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away, even with their quirks. Need me to sing your dog a song to get them to eat? You got it! Your cat needs to snuggle with their favorite toy to fall asleep? Say no more!
About: I have over 30 years of personal experience and 7 years of professional pet sitter experience in the Dallas surrounding area. Returning clients. Reliable and caring I currently work from home full time but my schedule still remains flexible enough for me to care for your pet through out the day. I have a fenced back yard and an open floor plan for your pet to be able to roam and play. I have the ability to crate if needed and several leashes to walk your pet in the neighborhood. I have 2 dogs of my own are very friendly with other pets so your animal will have someone to keep him or her company. I come stacked with goodies and treats and a toy box full of toys!
About: I have 8 years of professional experience working with a world champion Cavalier breeder doing grooming, dog sitting, helping prep and work through puppy season, training and administering medicine. I have a pet of my own and I have a deep love and care for dogs so whoever I am entrusted with I will give the utmost love to! I work full time right now but am looking to make the transition to do dog walking. I currently work till 1pm and am free till 6pm most days. I have a young dog so there is lots of ball throwing, running in the yard, tug-of-war and frisbee happening at my house. I do great with dogs who need lots of intention and love or dogs who just want to play ball, I will follow all care instructions provided and give just as much attention to your pet as if it were my own. I have a high amount of training with a professional breeder and have administered medication to pets, given IV drips, all puppy care from birth and up, done dog training and helped with physical therapy, grooming, trimming and more.
About: I have a senior dog so he needs to be let out more often and I have to make sure he eats his food. I also have an aggressive dog but he loves our family and really dislikes other people so I have dealt with aggressive and sometimes timid dogs. I work at a restaurant but only 3-4 times a week so I am free whenever I am needed. I love dogs and animals I care for them like they are my own and give them lots of love so they don’t miss their owners to much when they are gone I make sure to do everything that I am told to do by the owners and also do it at the times that I am told to do it
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I live with four dogs, so I understand better than most what different personalities, energy levels, and quirks look like and I meet every pet exactly where they are. I have a background in healthcare and just finished my graduate degree in nutrition, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I take animal wellness seriously. I’m completely comfortable with medications, special feeding schedules, dietary needs, or any specific instructions you leave, following care protocols is genuinely second nature to me. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I know how much peace of mind matters when you hand your pet off to someone. My goal is always to send you home (or to work, or on your trip) feeling totally at ease. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy and personality, not just a checkbox. Drop-ins are never rushed; I stay, I play, I make sure your pet feels loved. House sitting means your home and your pet both get my full attention and care. Expect photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently in a flexible period between positions, so I have a lot of availability right now, including weekends and most weekdays. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with regular clients and their pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your needs are recurring or ongoing! Since I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I’m coming to your pet in their own space, which I think is one of the best things for an animal’s comfort and routine. I treat every client’s home with complete respect and care. I’m experienced with following detailed instructions, administering medications, and handling pets of varying temperaments. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, their routine stays intact, and you get someone with a healthcare background making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away.
About: I had two dogs growing up and now I have one 4 year old dog who I have been taken care of since 8th grade. I also occasionally take care of my neighbors dogs and cats. In August, I will be attending college on a track scholarship, and I will need to train a lot over the summer so this will allow me to fit in my training along with making some money before I go to college. My dog that I take care of now has tons of toys to play with, water bowl is constantly filled and is fed 2-3 times a day as required.
“Alexis is just great! She is punctual, conscientious and my dog just loves her. Unfortunately I have had to cancel the walks. Hopefully we can re-start after the New Year.”
About: I have a deep love for animals and will ensure that your pets enjoy their stay!! 😁 It is an honor to serve you and to look after your pets. I am at home full time during the week so I am flexible to give the quality care and devotion that pets deserve. Feel free to ask about my schedule I have a nice fenced backyard and plenty of room indoors. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. There are parks close by as well.
About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Sat-Tues 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m empathetic and know when I need a break, so do they!
About: Growing up my family always helped shelter and rehome lost pets of all ages and types, I love animals and understand the importance of comfort that a pet needs to be in a strangers care. I enjoy gig work while I take care of my own pack at home. I do work delivery jobs and enjoy a good drive to work I like for pet areas to be clean and tidy for easy access and care. I love long stimulating walks with the pups and some toy time or practicing basic obedience commands in my time with them for mental stimulation.
About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.
“Taylor did an AMAZING job with Kobe! She was available last minute for his walks and was able to assist with caring for him. Her communication was great! I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi to all! My name is Amby, and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been dog-sitting for about 2 years now, and have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I have experience with administering medications, picking up dogs from daycare, staying overnight, assisting dogs with physical needs, and dog walking/drop-ins. I also used to be a day-foster at Operation Kindness, where I got my wonderful dog, Huey! I would love to have the privilege to meet your fur baby. Please message me if you have any questions- my schedule is flexible. My schedule is fairly flexible, as I work at a school during the year and am currently off for the summer! Please message me if you have any questions or concerns. I care for your pets by ensuring every walk is a structured, personalized adventure tailored to your pet's breed and needs. For example, high-energy breeds may prefer a jog to a local park, while calmer breeds may prefer a small trot around the block. Focused on safety and reliability, I watch your pets very closely to ensure they don't grow too tired, and I provide detailed updates and photos after every session!

“We received regular updates, photos, and reassurance, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”
“Margarita was AMAZING!! I have never left my pup with anyone and he is intimidated by bigger dogs as he doesn't have much exposure to others. When we got there she was so welcoming and we immediately felt at ease. She communicated with us daily with texts, pictures even videos!! We had a great vibe when we first came across her profile and she is definitely our permanent sitter! Thank you Margarita! Also, we loved Mimi :)”
“We have used Kayla twice now and will now be a forever home for our dog and cat when we leave town. I have no worries when I drop them off and I know they are happy and cared for until I return. I see them in pics daily with updates which I love. So glad we found our forever home away from home!!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for a week long vacation and a friend recommended Rover. Having never used Rover before, we were nervous about leaving our pup with a “stranger”. Lovanna was very understanding and even agreed to meet with us before finalizing the booking. She took great care of Ruby, picked her up from our house the day we left and when our flight home was pushed back she even brought her back home - which wasn’t the original plan. We are new to the area and really appreciated finding such a caring, understanding and flexible sitter on such short notice.”
“I like Nubia’s service because she treats my dog like her own. My dog is always excited to see Nubia when dropping her off. I like this service a lot because the detailed care she provides to my dog every time.”
“I loved the daily updates and videos. She was soo sweet and kind. I knew yoshi was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again. Yoshi was sooo happy upon pick up❤️❤️”
“What Jessica a took care of all of our dogs are big German Shepherd, Rockweiler, and our two Chihuahuas. They were very happy to see us, but they looked very contented and well taken care of for our weekend away from home. I appreciate the fact that they were so well loved. This is the first time all three of them have bought it together at a residence and I’m so glad it worked out.”
“The communication was awesome. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs here. They were well taken care of and spoiled. I honestly don't think they wanted to leave. They were having a blast. Highly recommend and will book again! Thanks for everything!”
“Aeden was wonderful with our girl Kona! He is a great communicator and Kona seemed happy to be there! We are already scheduled to leave Kona and our other dog with Aeden and know they will be well cared for!”
“I loved how friendly Sian was and how relaxed myself and our dogs felt as soon as we walked in the door. This was our first stay and first time meeting Sian and her pup Travis. We will book with her again. One of my dogs never eats when momma is away, but he ate at Sian's house! They got lots of playtime and snuggles. Sian sent the right amount of photos and checkins so that we knew they were good but were not distracted during our vacation. She commuicated when one of our dogs threw up, which isn't unusual for his sensitive stomach.”
“Denise is wonderful. Made our pet feel right at home. Made her a sweatshirt- due to the cold weather and gave her a blanket to cuddle with to keep warm. She will definitely be my go to person for future boarding needs.”
“Paige and her husband took the best care of our boy! They were always quick to respond, took the utmost care in making sure they had all of the necessary information and resources for our pup’s stay, and best of all our pup had so much fun during his stay with them. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
“Jason has been wonderful with Ollie. This is our 2nd time booking with him. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to board their dogs. It is really hard to find a person you trust your dog with and I can say I plan to book with Jason all my upcoming trips when I am out of town”
“Doloris and her husband took such great care of our dog. We are so thankful to them for all the pictures and video updates during her stay. You can tell that they truly care about taking care of animals. We will definitely use them again! Thank you for the peace of mind knowing our Xollie was in good hands while we were on vacation!”
“From drop-off to pick up it was an all around great experience. Eric and his son provided top notch care for our doggy. Coco had plenty of space to run and play in his back yard. We appreciated the pictures he sent us while we were away and felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. We will definitely use his services in the future and will highly recommend to friends and family.”
