Personalized care for your dog or cat - Schwertner

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Schwertner
“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”

“Oh my goodness, where do I even start! Not only did Ashley take exceptional care of my Stormie Lou, she kept me updated with pictures, text and even gave storm a cute little bandanna to go home in. She was very responsive and respectful of my asks and wishes. She made Stormie feel like an extension of her own family. It let me feel a weight off my shoulders that my fur baby was in the best hands possible. Will ONLY be doing business with Ashley.”

“Shane was excellent! He communicated with us and shared an update with a photo or video with us daily! He worked with us to find a solution for drop off. We highly recommend Shane and will use his services again in the future. Thank you!!”

“Andrew is an excellent pet sitter. He keeps me updated throughout the day with videos and pictures. I also like that he only accepts one booking at a time so I didn't have to worry about my boys not getting along with other cats. Will book again!”

“Monse took great care of my puppy! I loved all of the photo updates that I received! My puppy looked so happy in all of them! Thank you for taking care Remi, It was less stressful being away knowing she was in good hands!”

“Kristina did a great job communicating and sending a lot of pictures! Tokyo seemed to have a great time with her pups. I will be booking again with her in the future!”

“Highly recommend Bart and Radha for your fur baby. They took excellent care of our dog and gave frequent updates with pictures and videos of what he is up to. Our dog returned home well rested and happy. They accommodate all your request sand make sure to give you dog a at home feel.”


“Cathrin and her family took great care of our high-energy Frenchie girl. She communicated frequently, and provided plenty of picture updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend!”

“Kelly was very communicative when she took care of my pup. She sent photos on my pups happenings throughout the day. First time using Rover since moving to the area and Kelly did amazing with Heather. It was obvious Heather felt at home with Kelly and her family.”

“Lynn and family loved on my out of practice/un-social girl and she came home actually wanting more interaction with more pups! We’re a fan and she’ll be a regular to come and enjoy some time away from home and have some interaction with other pups and humans to enjoy her need for socialization. Thank you for letting her warm up to the thought of being part of another pack for the week!”

“Elisa suggested a meet and greet before confirming booking which we appreciated getting to meet her and her sweet daughter who adored Tucker. Elisa did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures to us during Tucker’s stay with her. It helped give us peace of mind while out of town. I will definitely be booking again.”

“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She recently watched my mini schnauzer, Mimi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Courtney genuinely loves animals and would treat Mimi like her own. While staying with Courtney, Mimi was truly spoiled — she got to sleep in their bed, snuggle on the furniture, and was cared for like a member of the family. Courtney kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Mimi up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone I can fully trust to care for my girl. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care for your pet like family, Courtney is the one. Mimi and I are so grateful to have found her!”

“Brittny took great care of our girl, Heidi, during her stay. She was very communicative and shared pictures of our pup several times throughout the day. She even had an extra room with a doggie bed so our pup had her ‘own room’ for her stay. 😃 Highly recommend and we will happily board our pup with Brittny the next time our trip dates and her availability align!😊”

“Natalee is great. She took care of my dogs on short notice and treated them like her own. I appreciated the updates from her and how responsive she is concerning individual dog care institutions. Highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Tom and Jimmye Sue are absolutley awesome! As empty nesters, our little dog has become a very large part of our lives and we were looking for a very special place to leave him when we travel. Tom and Jimmye Sue have provided a loving and caring home for our Sully, we highly recommend them for dog boarding and sitting!!!”

“Jormary is wonderful! As a repeat client, I continue to trust her with Max and Ruby. She is reliable, communicative, and always provides excellent care during her drop-in visits. I’m grateful for attentiveness and kindness towards Max and Ruby, highly recommend her services. 🐾😊”

“I can't say enough good things about having Joshua as our cat's pet sitter while we were away on vacation. He's very professional, prompt, communicative, and gave our boy lots of attention during his check-ins. We enjoyed reading through his entertaining Rover cards each day too!”


“Ayden took such great care of my cat while I was away, can’t recommend his services enough! He came over for a meet and greet, and I could immediately tell he would get on well with my cat! I have a very playful, routine-obsessed orange tabby and Ayden made sure he knew where all the favorite toys were. He even got slow blinks during the meet and greet. While I was away, Ayden wrote such great visit updates! He took his time earning my cat’s trust and by the end of the week they were best buds. If you’re looking for a sitter who will truly get to know your pets routine, likes, dislikes, quirks, Ayden is your guy! I’ll absolutely have him watch my cat in the future. Thanks so much for taking care of my boy! I didn’t worry once while I was gone!”


“I received regular notifications and pictures of my two cats during their feedings. I was glad to see that my Siamese cat was happy to see her and her children. I have one older cat that is grumpy and she was able to work with her by respecting her boundaries. Joanna did some light clean-up for me. I will use her again.”

About: Hey! I’m Jess, and dogs basically run my life (in the best way). 🐶💛 I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, including big, small, purebreds, mutts, puppies, seniors, even diabetic or epileptic pups. I work at a boarding and daycare facility, and I even get to hang out with K9s in training, so I know how to handle high-energy, smart, and sometimes stubborn dogs. Feeding, bathing, cleaning up messes, exercising, monitoring behavior. I do it all, and I do it with love! I’m all about communication. I’ll send pics, updates, and cute texts so you know your pup is happy, safe, and having a blast. I’m trained in pet CPR, first aid, and know all the warning signs to look out for. While I don’t bring dogs to my home, I’ll work with them wherever they’re comfortable. I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love making each dog feel like the goodest boy or girl in the world. I work part-time shifts (3.5–6.5 hours), so I schedule visits and walks around my job. Dogs get consistent attention, play, and exercise while you’re away. I care for pets in their own space so they feel comfortable and stress-free; feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention. I follow your instructions and adapt to each dog’s personality.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Schwertner

About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walks, feeding, and playtime. As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
“My dog takes a long time to warm up to men, hates peanut butter, and isn’t food motivated. Within the first 5 minutes of our meet and greet my dog was eating peanut butter treats out of his hand and happily getting all the scratches. I have no idea how he did it but my dog instantly loved him. When it came time for the booking my dog jumped out of the car and ran straight for his door with out waiting for me. I got a ton of photos and my dog was very relaxed in all of them. I highly recommend Joshua.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my entire life! Growing up, we always had multiple dogs in our home. We had a big family with our fur babies! Your fur babe will be in amazing hands with me 🫶 I’m currently at home full time and ready to watch your babies anytime you need. I’m flexible and adjustable to your needs! Im the person who will stop and ask to pet your dog. 😄 I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for the fur babes to run around. I have a boxer who loves to play with other dogs and will keep your fur baby burning lots of energy.
About: We have raised 3 different dogs together. Two of those furr babies required medical care and special diets, so we are always very attentive and careful with all pets needs! We recently lost our precious boy River, due to his liver disease and we miss his presence tremendously. So having other pets over truly helps keep us going and having a boost of morale. With that being said, we will give your pet 100% of our attention at all times. You can trust your pet will be supervised and cared for all day. At least one of us is always home to supervise when we are dog sitting so your pet is never alone. We have a small dog park at our complex for some outdoor fun time, and can provide daily walks as well to ensure they get more exercise! We have made our home safe for your dog keeping certain things out of reach. I can update you regularly with picture updates as well!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for quite a while! It started with trick training which turned into completely 6 months at a dog training school and earning a certificate in canine training and behavioral specialist. I am confident in handling and caring for the most difficult pups! From nervous and anxious dogs to high energy working dogs, I am willing to create a safe and effective boarding/care experience for them. My whole life revolves around my dogs so your pups will be loved and cared for during their stay. I have a schedule that allows me to fit any pet care needs. My dogs get tons of outside times, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day so whatever plan your pup needs we can accommodate! I am flexible on creating a system that works best for you pets. I can house dogs that are not good in crates and well as dogs that need to be crated. I have pet cameras throughout the home so I can keep watch at all times! We can come up with a system that works best for you pets! Whether that be multiple walks per day or a special feeding plan!
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience at a professional boarding facility caring for over 20 dogs at once, I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after someone’s beloved pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know how hard it is to trust just anyone with your fur baby. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience for your pet, giving you peace of mind while they enjoy tail-wagging adventures. I am a full time student and taking the summer off. I am basically free for the summer to help out if you are not feeling well, working late, or last minute walks. I am currently only available for dog walks. The care will need to be taken place at the pet owners home. Due to my apartments restrictions.
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
About: I've been a dog mom to multiple pups over the years. Plenty of time spoiling them and taking them out on adventures. Sadie and I love hiking and kayaking, or just strolling through the neighborhood. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, so I can easily adjust it to your needs. This leaves plenty of room to hang with my sweet dog and hopefully yours as well. I have a fenced yard and a sweet shorkie that would love play time with your sweet dog. I can keep them separated or allow them to play depending on your comfort level.
About: I have grown up on a farm with a bunch of animals, so I know how to take care of a variety! I am currently a legal assistant working from home, and I am looking to make extra money. My schedule is fairly free, so I have time to pick up some extra activities. I live in a house with a backyard. I am a very active person and don’t mind taking frequent walks/runs. Fur babies deserve love as much as humans and I will make sure that happens :) Having my own dog, I know the important stuff of being attentive and patient. I work from home, so I always have time for attention. My dog is my best friend and has traveled the country with me. It is not always easy to leave them behind, so I understand the importance of knowing they’re cared for when finding a pet sitter. Know they will be in good hands here and happy to provide all the updates! My remote position allows for attentive care. Most days I am home all day except for my morning and evening walks. So, they will have around the clock care! I treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own, so they will be well cared for with plenty of attention. It will be their own fun vacation!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t live without them. My specialty is caring for senior (7+yrs old) dogs but I love all ages. I’m currently retired and very flexible with scheduling. I have volunteered regularly at a senior dog sanctuary for 4 years to onboard and train new volunteers. I have a fenced yard and only one small dog friendly Yorkie in residence. I used to work for a Christian ministry so very trustworthy.
About: We’re moving mid-June into our new home (officially homeowners, yay!), so because I don’t know when we’ll be settled, my availability is a little up in the air. We will be moving to East Georgetown (by Jonah), about a 15-minute drive from Taylor and a 10-minute drive from Hutto. We hope to still care for your pups after our transition into the new home. Lifelong dog owner with a decade of dog sitting and fostering experience, providing loving, reliable care while treating every pup like family in a safe, comfortable home. While you’re away, my dogs and I will make your pup feel comfortable with lots of love and play! I started out watching family members’ dogs as a teenager, then gradually began caring for my husband’s coworkers’ pups and others as word spread. Along the way, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy seeing new dogs interact with mine and how happy they are having friends around. It’s something I look forward to, and I am so excited to do it more often. My own pet’s care is part of my everyday life. I’m home all day with my own dogs, so your pup will always have company, attention, and lots of love. Caring for them is my full time job, which means I have all the time in the world to focus on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play along with a doggy door for easy access, plus two friendly dogs who love having new companions around. I keep a close eye on all pups during playtime to make sure everyone is comfortable and getting along. I stick to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and rest, and I’m happy to crate them if that’s part of their normal schedule. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and right at home the entire time they’re with me.
“They were very flexible to watch our dog on a Sunday and flexible with tie time. They made our dog feel comfortable with them and followed instructions on feeding and potty breaks. We would use them again when in town.”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of Bentley and sent some awesome photos of Bentley!! He looked so happy and came home exhausted so I know he had an awesome time! Thank you so much for watching our pup while we were out! I recommend her and will definitely book again next time we are in the area!!”

About: Hello fellow doggie owner! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pet. I have been around doggies since I was three and my first one was a gorgeous doberman that was my play mate at that early age. I communicate with them using my empathy, learned doggie training lessons and leadership skills (even power breeds). We currently own a thirteen-year old Korean Jindo female called Luna. She was dumped on a park when she was a puppy and we rescued her literally from the street. She is a healthy happy senior doggie and loves to have other pups over for fun time! Our house sits on half-an acre of green lush areas with over a dozen trees that our doggie friends just love. Thank you for considering my services and I can't wait to welcome your doggie at my home! 🙏🏽💖 - Nelly C. I work part-time at home with a very flexible schedule, that allows me to take walks with Luna and enjoy our neighborhood. My daughter Maxine is also a doggie fan too! Our house sits on half-an acre of green lush areas with over a dozen trees that our doggie friends just love. Our neighborhood is super doggie friendly as most of the homes in our area have pets (even horses). Serenada is a really cute well-kept neighborhood north of downtown Georgetown and it is very well known for the homes lots being very spacious and filled with trees. Gorgeous lawns too for doggie's bathroom necessities! 💖 I am a business owner that has a flexible schedule which allows me to play with and take care of our furry guests. On the weekends, my family and I enjoy outdoors and to relax. I have a fenced half an acre back yard. Our neighbors have doggies too so they do not complain if we have doggies playing in our back yard. We also have a doggie plastic pool for summer splashes.
“We took our two boys for a day outing, as we are leaving them with Candi for a week while we are out of town here in a couple weeks and wanted to make sure they were familiar with her and her place before we leave them for that long. They had a blast…I know because they were pooped when they got home! We are looking forward to knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of for our future trip and I know they will be excited to go back! Candi was also VERY responsive to my messages, which I highly appreciate! Definitely the best doggie resort!”

He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
About: Since I was a young girl, I have always been fascinated by animals—particularly dogs. I begged my parents to get me my first pet—Jasper, a rescued Labrador retriever—at age 7. Taking care of Jasper was my main focus as well the odd assortment of fish and hamsters we had. When Jasper passed, and I graduated high school, my next door neighbor had a litter of golden retriever puppies. I was ready to have another animal, and that’s when Kensie came into my life. Kensie was my soul dog, and she passed away two years ago. We did everything together—going to dog parks around town, Zilker park, and even red bud (before the algae), and going to dog-friendly establishments in Austin. She was my best friend. Unfortunately, her last few months on earth were extremely challenging. I was up with her three to four times a night (sometimes more), administering multiple medications, and helping her stand/walk. When the time came to say goodbye, I could barely make the decision to let her go. I miss her so much, but because of my current living situation, don’t have the opportunity to get another dog. That’s where Rover comes in. I love animals, and am extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet. This will give me my ‘fix’ and also be a productive side hustle for me. It will be an honor to walk//watch your pet. I will give the very care and concern I gave my own pets. Not only have I had my own pets, but I have experience with a variety of breeds—including catahoulas and boxers. As mentioned above, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and administering medication. I’m currently in a transition phase in my life, and am looking for something productive and rewarding. I have pretty much limitless availability to cater to whatever your dog may need. At the moment, I can’t accept any dogs into my home, but if given the opportunity to stay at a client’s house, I would follow all instructions given while simultaneously respecting the space and showering your dog with love and attention.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my entire life. I have taken care of dogs for a while as well. I am very reliable and love to see animals happy, so I try to give them the best experience possible. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare, I am available for drop in’s in the morning and afternoon. Otherwise I’m fully available in the afternoons. I have plenty of time on my hands to make sure your pet has a great time! I have a spacious house with a big backyard for your pup to run and play. I have a 4 year old pitbull who loves meeting new friends and zooming around!
About: I worked at a dog daycare for a few years, and have my own dog that I take care of! Anything from groom, to watching over I can do it! I have my own dog at home that I care of daily, along with a cat that I've added into the mix of daily life, before that I worked at Tayrus Academy for a few years and learned a lot from them I have a fenced in yard with a pit dane mix she's weary around people but loves dogs super playful and really sweet to be around!
About: I started fostering dogs with different rescue organizations 22 years ago. I have taken care of all different breeds, sizes, and behaviors. I have a passion for animals and seeing that their needs are met. I am a teacher so I am off daily by 4:30 pm and home on the weekends. I am also off all summer and spend most of my time at home. I have a nice sized fenced back yard with a doggy door for pets to come and go as they want. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood.
About: Hey! I’m Jess, and dogs basically run my life (in the best way). 🐶💛 I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, including big, small, purebreds, mutts, puppies, seniors, even diabetic or epileptic pups. I work at a boarding and daycare facility, and I even get to hang out with K9s in training, so I know how to handle high-energy, smart, and sometimes stubborn dogs. Feeding, bathing, cleaning up messes, exercising, monitoring behavior. I do it all, and I do it with love! I’m all about communication. I’ll send pics, updates, and cute texts so you know your pup is happy, safe, and having a blast. I’m trained in pet CPR, first aid, and know all the warning signs to look out for. While I don’t bring dogs to my home, I’ll work with them wherever they’re comfortable. I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love making each dog feel like the goodest boy or girl in the world. I work part-time shifts (3.5–6.5 hours), so I schedule visits and walks around my job. Dogs get consistent attention, play, and exercise while you’re away. I care for pets in their own space so they feel comfortable and stress-free; feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention. I follow your instructions and adapt to each dog’s personality.

“Kelly was very communicative when she took care of my pup. She sent photos on my pups happenings throughout the day. First time using Rover since moving to the area and Kelly did amazing with Heather. It was obvious Heather felt at home with Kelly and her family.”

“Lynn and family loved on my out of practice/un-social girl and she came home actually wanting more interaction with more pups! We’re a fan and she’ll be a regular to come and enjoy some time away from home and have some interaction with other pups and humans to enjoy her need for socialization. Thank you for letting her warm up to the thought of being part of another pack for the week!”

“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She recently watched my mini schnauzer, Mimi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Courtney genuinely loves animals and would treat Mimi like her own. While staying with Courtney, Mimi was truly spoiled — she got to sleep in their bed, snuggle on the furniture, and was cared for like a member of the family. Courtney kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Mimi up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone I can fully trust to care for my girl. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care for your pet like family, Courtney is the one. Mimi and I are so grateful to have found her!”

“Brittny took great care of our girl, Heidi, during her stay. She was very communicative and shared pictures of our pup several times throughout the day. She even had an extra room with a doggie bed so our pup had her ‘own room’ for her stay. 😃 Highly recommend and we will happily board our pup with Brittny the next time our trip dates and her availability align!😊”

“Natalee is great. She took care of my dogs on short notice and treated them like her own. I appreciated the updates from her and how responsive she is concerning individual dog care institutions. Highly recommend her to anyone.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Jeff and Jirapun taking care of our dog, Miley. They kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Miley was well cared for and very comfortable with them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Miley. We truly appreciate your kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely look forward to leaving Miley with you again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Mina & Antony were very attentive to our pups! They took them both on regular walks and kept us very up to date with their days! We would definitely book with them again in the future :)”

“Josh is great! Sends daily updates with lots of pictures. I never had to worry about Nilla & Coosa while gone to Utah this past week. Especially not having cell service during the day. I knew my girls were being well taken care of. Josh is my go-to sitter when I need to leave my girls for overnight stays!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my entire life! Growing up, we always had multiple dogs in our home. We had a big family with our fur babies! Your fur babe will be in amazing hands with me 🫶 I’m currently at home full time and ready to watch your babies anytime you need. I’m flexible and adjustable to your needs! Im the person who will stop and ask to pet your dog. 😄 I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for the fur babes to run around. I have a boxer who loves to play with other dogs and will keep your fur baby burning lots of energy.
“Absolutely loved working with Chad! He was really patient and took such special care of my sweet boy. I got tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease my mind. I also appreciated getting to do a meet and greet beforehand so I could see where my dog would be staying. It made a huge difference. I’d definitely recommend Chad if your dog has separation anxiety or doesn’t do well in crates. He doesn’t take on too many overnighters at once, so I knew my dog wouldn’t just be a number. Great experience all around!”

“My baby girl has major separation anxiety, but the minute we pull up to Susan's house she jumps right out and is super excited to see her. I do enjoy traveling a lot and I never have to worry when she's visiting Miss Susan's house!!!”
