“Scott and Amanda are fantastic with Lily. I always feel comfortable entrusting them with my girl. She plays super hard so she sleeps for a day when she gets home. Happy girl = happy Mom. Thanks for taking care of my baby.”
“We just picked our dog Rudy up from spending the weekend with Stephanie and Max. It was obvious he had a great time and was well taken care of! Highly recommend!!”
“Teona and Louelyn were wonderful to out 1 year old Bassett Hound. We just moved to the area and had a wedding all the way in New York. I spent a few days researching the right sitter on Rover and struck gold with Teona and Louelyn! They have a clean home with plenty of space for your dog to roam and also a fenced in backyard. Teona sent pictures and daily updates and even gave my dog a bath! When I picked her up she was very happy. We will book with them again!”
“Lyra and Scott and their family totally loved on our little Sassafras. We are so appreciative of their care and all the pictures and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. Will use them again! ?”
“Paul and Terri were absolutely amazing! They offered great communication, gave extra care and attention to our allergy pup, sent pictures throughout the day, and were flexible with drop-off/pick-up timing as we traveled out of state. They have more than enough outdoor space for pups to play safely. They were attentive to our pups needs, limiting outdoor time when too hot. I could tell by the pictures shared that our pup was happy and comfortable while in their care. Thank You Guys!!”
“Ciara and her family were amazing! They treated our fur babies like her own and her littles just loved our girls. We felt very at ease dropping them off and picking them up and were very thankful for all the sweet pictures throughout their stay. Thank you Ciara!”
“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Ryan, Stephanie, and the whole family were absolutely great to work with. Our Doodle stayed with them for several days, and had an absolute blast playing with them and their dogs. They have such a great house and yard for the dogs to play in, and our little buddy had the best time running around with their pack!”
“They took great care of our older dog. We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Plenty of updates and we were able to relax and enjoy family vacation time knowing he was being well loved and cared for.”
“Love Ms. Crystal. Elsa did so good for her. Side sent plenty pictures to keep me informed and I couldn’t be more thankful to know my baby was in great hands. Thank you again. Will be using her services again in the future.”
“We chose Omaira and Isaac to pet sit after a trialing a professional boarding facility where we quickly realized our dogs wouldn't get the love and individual care we want them to have. We absolutely made the right decision, our boys have come home happy, clean and having been totally spoiled! Omaira and Isaac were kind, professional and responsive and we will definitely take Peanut and Chester back to stay with them again.”
“This was our puppy’s first visit to Gretchen, and I can’t adequately express how wonderful she was with him. She made him feel comfortable, and she sent us regular images of him as he relaxed on the couch. Thank you so much, Gretchen, for loving our little guy for the weekend!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Jared was wonderful caring for Bazooka! He sent me pictures everyday so I was able to see what they were up to. Bazooka looked like he was very comfortable throughout his visit; which says a lot about the environment he was in, as cats tend to be skittish in new places. I would absolutely recommend booking Jared.”
“Allie is very calm and happy. Just what I want when she comes home. She was treated so very well. Would definitely trust Bryan and his family and use their services again in the future”

About: I have had cats my entire life and have extensive experience caring for them through all stages of life. Growing up with cats taught me the importance of understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. In my adult life, I have had two cats of my own. One of them I raised from a kitten and cared for throughout his entire life until he was 13 years old. This experience gave me firsthand knowledge of kitten care, adult cat care, and the special attention and support senior cats need as they age. I am comfortable with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications when needed, and providing companionship while respecting each cat's unique temperament. Having lived with and cared for cats my whole life, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them.
About: I am open to caring for any and all pets. As someone who currently has 3 Great Pyrenees, an Austrian Kelpie puppy, and other pets, I am experienced in all areas and types.

I am very flexible with accommodations so please reach out if you have any questions. I do not offer overnight in home care at the moment due to all of my pets at home but will gladly stay at your home with your pet. I can send pictures and videos of your pet to you and don't mind cameras in the home so you can drop in any time and see your fur and/or scaly baby.
“Thank you so much for helping with our two cats! Lily and Phillip were very attentive and thorough and made sure to keep us updated on how our cats were doing throughout the week. Highly recommend !”
“Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!”
“Sarah takes your pets’ well-being seriously, as well as your instructions for caring for them. She was prompt and responsive, and always kept us in the loop with detailed visit notes and great pictures. Our Taro Bun is very sweet but has some special care instructions and Sarah handled everything well, with no issues. Absolutely recommend her for conscientious pet sitting!”
“Kellee is a great communicator, friendly, and professional. This was our first time using Kellee and will not hesitate to book again with her. Big kudos for her with patience. I had a heck of a time using Rover from my end. She was so sweet while I figured it all. She worked with me to ensure I got scheduled how we needed.”
“Ashton was awesome. She is very personable and easy to communicate with. We got notes and pictures from her daily. Our one cat hid most of the time, but she found him or monitored food. The other two decided that she is the best thing ever! While we were gone, we had a tree come down at thw top of our very long driveway. Ashton willingly walked in from the top and took care of them. Will absolutely have her back again.”

“Ellie G. is a great communicator with photo updates. The daycare day went well and Annie O was introduced to Ellie’s chickens and I’m sure she wanted to get a little closer but Ellie was great keeping Annie away from them. Annie also met Ellie’s dog and it appears that they both made a new friend. The day was a success.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with them, cared for and dog sat for over 15 years while being a nannny. I've had two dogs of my own as well. My family and I have recently lost our beloved pup and are desiring to spend time with yours to get all the dog snuggles and love we can! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. We are home daily and most weekends. We love for your sweet pup to hang with us during the day or stay with us during a vacation or long weekend away. We do not have a fenced in yard but have 2 acres of property that we would leash your dog and take for walks around the property. We had a dog in the past that had medication needs and special food needs so I accustomed to caring for dogs with special needs. We are also a couch/furniture friendly family if that is something that is important to you. We do have small children but both are use to dogs and love them! We also do not have a pet of our right currently and so your dog would definitely be the center of our attention.
“Victor and Abigail were awesome and took extra steps to make sure our anxious pup had a great time. They sent us videos and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. After his first day in daycare, my dog was very excited to return on the following days. He seemed to really like the folks who took care of him and was nice and tired once I picked him up. Staying with these folks was definitely a mini vacation for my dog!”
“My husband and I were in town on vacation with our dog and she was having separation anxiety when we would leave her alone. So we booked with Sandra & she did awesome. Thank you so much for making our date night relaxing and not worrying about Kona. I would highly recommend Sandra. She was very nice and welcoming into her home and the neighborhood was nice. Thank you again!”
About: We were pet owners for over 17 years for our own fur babies. We cared for them from the time they were outrunning their own feet, all the way through old age. Our family will love on all ages of pets while you are away! Our family has a flexible schedule throughout the week. We have some daytime or evening activities but are generally home. We can accommodate pet care in our home or in areas around our home as part of our weekly routine. Let us know what you need and I'm sure we can accommodate. We can visit your home at various times so your pets can stay in the comfort of their own home. If they come to our place, we will integrate them into our routines and give them plenty of attention. Send us a message and we'll see what we can do!
“Lyra & Scott made our three days at Colonial Williamsburg completely worry-free! They took great care of her and she came back to our camper tired and happy.”
“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Jared! He is always very flexible with scheduling, which I truly appreciate, and he consistently sends photos throughout the day that give me peace of mind. Bella absolutely loves going there—especially the trips to the park to play and burn off energy. She also adores children, so she gets extra excited on days when she can spend time with his daughter. It’s clear she feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Lynn is very nice and kept me updated. Every so often she sent me pictures of Annie and their outings. Very communicative. I love that. We will definitely use Lynn again and will recommend her to friends. All in all it was a great day for Annie.”
“Our Kona's Day Care is coming along quite nicely with Maggie and her family. He is getting to know her children and small dog. We look forward to leaving Kona with Maggie for a few nights later this month. We think it is a good fit and that he will be happy which is very important to us. Thank you Maggie for taking good care of our boy. Mike and Kay Chase”
About: I am a dog lover who has a mini Bernedoodle. I have had senior dogs and dogs with extensive medical needs. I am able to administer meds in any way shape or form and have done the off leash K9 training with two of my own dogs now, so am aware of some basic commands. My husband and I both work from home full time. We have a great back yard for your pet to run around in with our sweet boy Winston. I have one sweet young dog who would love an occasional dog visitor and playmate. I will treat your pet just like I do, which one may define as a bit on the spoiled side!

“I’m so glad I found Christene for my dogs! They hadn’t ever been to a doggy day care or boarding before so I was worried how they do. They came home happy and tuckered out! She has a fenced yard and a doggy room (converted from the former garage) that’s awesome for the pups. Thanks Christene!”
“Ashton is fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Bumi, and sent me plenty of photo and video updates while I was at work. Her communication was quick and she was able to look after Bumi twice on very short notice over a holiday weekend! He had a great time with her dog as well, and I know Bumi is always well taken care of when he's with her.”
About: We’re a dog-loving family with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. We have two dogs of our own: a senior Lab/hound mix and a middle-aged Great Dane. We’re comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to older dogs who prefer a slower pace, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routines, feeding schedule, and house rules. We both work hybrid schedules, so someone is home with the dogs most of the time. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks throughout the day and plenty of attention and interaction. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need more activity as well as those who are content to relax and hang out with us. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and play. Our fence is approximately 3 feet high and made of hog wire, so we’re best suited for dogs who aren’t jumpers or determined escape artists. Our own dogs respect the boundary. We also have a dog-loving 4-year-old, so dogs must be comfortable and safe around children. Our dogs are friendly and accustomed to sharing their space with other dogs. At night, visiting dogs sleep downstairs on their own dog bed or one of our designated “dog couches.” Crate-trained dogs are welcome to use their crate if that is what makes them most comfortable.
About: I am a lover of all animals. I currently have 4 goats, 10 pot bellied pigs, 5 cats. and 3 dogs and almost all of my pets are rescues. Your babies will get great care and attention when I visit or stay over. I will respect and abide by any rules you personally have regarding that. I work my full time job from home so your pet will get 24-hour care as well as lots of love and attention if over night stays are needed. I love going on walks with pets, and guarantee I can tire them out, even the most energetic of them by playing ball or any other thing they like. Plenty of time for play and walks. I can administer oral or injectable meds if needed. I know I am the perfect person to love and care for your pet while you are away. You can have the peace of mind knowing they are loved and cared for as if they were part of our family. I have spent my entire life around animals! My mother raised and bred Dobermans for many years and we took in rescue dogs as fosters. I also grew up around horses and other farm animals. I am comfortable with any breed so long as they are pet and people friendly. Since I personally have owned and currently own animals, I really understand the value of making them part of the family, not just a "pet" I look forward to hearing from you! I work full ti.e from home. Whereever there is wifi i can work which gives me lots of flexibility. I am able schedule around my calls easily. I spend time outside playing when applicable and allow for plenty of cuddle time. I often send pics so you will always see and know that your baby is doing fine.

I live in a quiet apartment complex with not a lot of traffic, but lots of walking trails and a dog park that my dog Koda enjoys!
About: I’ve been watching both cats and dogs for friends and neighbors for a few years now, and now that I have more flexibility in my schedule I would love to provide my services to others! I work fully remotely and have a ton of flexibility to take care of your pets! If i’m not on vacation, i’m usually free to help :) I live in an apartment with my two-year-old chihuahua mix, Archie! Plenty of opportunities to run around the fenced dog area or ride over to a trail or park for more activity.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of personal and others’ pets from an early age. I’ve worked in a nature center taking care of wild animals, including birds of prey.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, and my love for pets has only grown over the years. As an adult, I worked at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I have also adopted and cared for three dogs of my own throughout every stage of their lives, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. This experience has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing the love and comfort pets need to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention due to age or special needs, I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide your pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your furry family member enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I can tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced backyard with a 5-foot chain-link fence, providing a safe and secure space for your pet to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I do not have neighbors directly adjacent to my yard, so there is minimal concern about pets being distracted or stressed by animals on the other side of the fence. I am a lifelong animal lover and currently share my home with a senior dog, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, and a young cat who has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old as well. Having cared for pets through every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention—I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I personally allow my pets on the furniture, but I fully respect each owner's preferences. If your pet has specific rules, routines, feeding schedules, medication needs, or restrictions, just let me know and I will be happy to follow them to ensure consistency and comfort during their stay. I believe communication is important, so I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and messages while your pet is in my care, giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well loved.
“I recently used Larrissa to walk my dogs , and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the first interaction, it was clear they were professional and passionate about pets. **Communication:** They were very responsive to my inquiries and took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and routines. Even assisted me with using this app for the first. **Reliability:** My dog walker was always on time and even provided updates and pictures during walks, which made me feel reassured. **Care for My Dog:** My puppy dog, Banks is still getting to everything, but Larrissa handled him wonderfully. He came back happy and tired after the walk. I am watching the dogs now just snoozing on the cameras. **Flexibility:** They offered flexible scheduling options, accommodating my last-minute changes wit. Overall, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend”

About: Hi! I currently have a boxer/shiba Inu and a rescue puppy. My boxer/shiba went through an intensive training program where I was taught how to train a dog as well so I’m great with dogs. I love dogs (maybe more than people lol) and whenever there’s a dog around me my heart melts and I just want to play with them and take care of all the pups!! I am currently a teacher and work Monday-Friday. I walk and/ or feed the pets I’m worked with before work and then again after work as well as play time. In the weekends I’m home all day long as well as in the summer months. I care for all animals as if they were my own. All animal get attention, scheduled meals, and exercise. I also have gates to separate animals if necessary.
“Mary was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Yesterday she took care of our dogs all day during our wedding. She checked in on them three times and even delivered our dogs to our wedding venue so our brother could walk our dogs down the aisle during the ceremony. She hung out for the wedding, and then delivered them back to our hotel. She was so pleasant, followed every recommendation and request we made, and our dogs were so well cared for! She even went above and beyond walking the dogs for a long time before and after the wedding! If we lived locally in Newport News we would DEFINITELY us her again. I highly recommend her and her services!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.

I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I adore all breeds, ages, and sizes. I'm very attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I currently work at a dog pet resort, so I have plenty of experiences with all sorts of dogs. I currently work part time, and am available pretty often! My scheduling is flexible, and I'm very transparent about my availabilities. I prefer to work daylight hours, but thats not a hard rule for me. I've been interacting with dogs of various temperments for a long time, so I'm practiced at providing a safe environment for your dogs. I'm very respectful of any safety rules you may have, and will never cut corners when it comes to the well-being of your pup.
About: What most sets us apart is the level of care we give and how flexible our schedules are. Your dog will likely never be alone. They will also receive organic free range egg and meat snacks as a topper for their kibble, and if they are not at risk for eating chickens, they will have a large 2 acre fenced area to explore and run. If they do want to eat chickens, they will still receive two daily forest walk or runs and be free in the smaller pen or on a line. DIVERSE EXPERIENCE We have experience with all kinds of dogs, all ages and temperaments. We will ensure the puppies get proper potty training and are on a proper schedule (can be exactly as you specify). We can also help your dog to not jump up, not pull on the leash, and he'll with basic training like recall, sit, stay. We have cared for many an elderly dog helping them be as comfortable as possible. I was able to help a grieving dog, who did not want to do much of anything, to enjoy running through the woods and playing again. We also have safely had a blind dog in our care as well. I have been around dogs all my life, and I know how to help timid dogs relax, when to give them space and when they need me to simply love on them. For example, we had one dog who would run away from you, but when we finally set him on the couch and pet him he just about melted into a snuggly ball! TRAINING & PHILOSOPHIES I am often learning more about dog psychology and training methods. I only support dominance hierarchies to the extent that it helps the dog. If a dog believes they must be in control because they don’t have a good leader, they will be more stressed out. This is unfair to the dog. I will never be unnecessarily rough with your pet though and I use positive reinforcement first. I have used this experience with success on friends’ and acquaintances’ dogs, as well as my own. My dog sits for over a minute until I tell him to Come. I see each animal as a unique soul who is here to experience and learn. I will be patient with your pet, kind but firm, and we will have loads of fun! FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES I can accommodate many schedules, including crate training. I can bring the crate along if we will be gone longer than a half hour visiting the neighboring farm. I can ensure your pet is kept to whatever feeding and potty schedules they are comfortable with, especially with potty training puppies. I have one dog: a whippet mix. I let him in and out as he chooses, and have a couple acres for him to run and play on. I am currently working on the perimeter fence also. Scoop and I often play fetch. I love going for runs and walks and would happily bring your pup along, depending on his or her energy level. I have a healthy understanding of how to keep a healthy leash contact with the dog, and if need be, I am quite strong if I need to keep the dog from running. I like to use incredibly long leashes if the dog is a flight risk but doesn't pull too hard so they have room to explore.
About: I’ve worked in pet care professionally for 9 years, 4 of those years being spent in veterinary medicine. I approach pet care in ways that makes the pets most comfortable and value building relationships with the pets as much as I do my clients. I have an academic background in public health and am currently pursuing higher education with the end goal of earning a DVM. I am currently working full time at an animal hospital in Newport News, making my schedule more limited than it used to be for my pet sitting clients. My schedule is more workable for households located in Deltaville, Topping, Gloucester, Glouster Point, Hayes and Yorktown. Morning and evening visits are possible all days of the week, mid day / afternoon visits are currently limited to weekends. Please reach out to ask about scheduling possibilities! Early AM (before 7:30AM) and evening (after 6pm) visits available all week. Afternoon / mid day visits are dependent on location and day, but open every weekend. I do not let dogs off-leash in non-fenced in areas or in spaces with dogs unfamiliar to yours. I require all dogs and cats to be updated on their rabies vaccines. I will not take an unaltered dog outside of his or her home, this is for the safety and wellbeing of your dog. If your dog struggles with behavioral issues and has a history of aggression, please include this in your message so I can help you decide the best options for your pet when it comes to meeting a new pet sitter. If your dog struggles with severe anxiety (this is very common!) please include some of the best anxiety-reducing practices for your dog (ex. favorite blanket, hiding spots, calming treats / jackets) in their care instructions so that they can have the best time possible without their favorite human.

“Teona and Louelyn were wonderful to out 1 year old Bassett Hound. We just moved to the area and had a wedding all the way in New York. I spent a few days researching the right sitter on Rover and struck gold with Teona and Louelyn! They have a clean home with plenty of space for your dog to roam and also a fenced in backyard. Teona sent pictures and daily updates and even gave my dog a bath! When I picked her up she was very happy. We will book with them again!”

“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Ryan, Stephanie, and the whole family were absolutely great to work with. Our Doodle stayed with them for several days, and had an absolute blast playing with them and their dogs. They have such a great house and yard for the dogs to play in, and our little buddy had the best time running around with their pack!”
“Love Ms. Crystal. Elsa did so good for her. Side sent plenty pictures to keep me informed and I couldn’t be more thankful to know my baby was in great hands. Thank you again. Will be using her services again in the future.”
“We chose Omaira and Isaac to pet sit after a trialing a professional boarding facility where we quickly realized our dogs wouldn't get the love and individual care we want them to have. We absolutely made the right decision, our boys have come home happy, clean and having been totally spoiled! Omaira and Isaac were kind, professional and responsive and we will definitely take Peanut and Chester back to stay with them again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Jared was wonderful caring for Bazooka! He sent me pictures everyday so I was able to see what they were up to. Bazooka looked like he was very comfortable throughout his visit; which says a lot about the environment he was in, as cats tend to be skittish in new places. I would absolutely recommend booking Jared.”
“Allie is very calm and happy. Just what I want when she comes home. She was treated so very well. Would definitely trust Bryan and his family and use their services again in the future”
“We Had the pleasure of using Britanny to watch over our sweet millie and it was a great experience. Britanny made sure she kept us in the loop and put all of our worries to rest with updates,pics, Etc. Being that it was our first time ever using a sitter, she made our stay away from millie extremely pleasant. Thank you again Brittany. I would highly recommend.”

“Sandra and her family are great! Both of our dogs instantly felt comfortable with them and so did we. We found Sandra to be patient and kind to our boys and had no doubt they were in goods hands while we were away. She checked in with us often to let us know how they were doing. Great job Sandra!”
