“We were very happy with the care that Jennifer gave to our dog. This was our first experience leaving our dog so we were nervous but Jennifer made us feel comfortable and sent pictures each day. Jennifer is very experienced and well trained in dealing with different types of dogs.”
“Ciara was terrific with our little guy. I was so nervous leaving him for the first time. And she did everything in her power to make sure I knew he was taken care of. As a pet mama (small business owner) who goes on frequent trips, she really is amazing!”
“Kingsley had a fantastic stay at Matt's place. Matt updated us often with photos and details of his attitude and comportment, and it was clear our dog was having fun. He seemed to get a good mix of play and rest time and we knew he was in good hands. We'll definitely be back!”
“Cyndi was very considerate. I loved the way she treated my little guy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent me updates frequently and I had a peace of mind while my fur baby with her. Thank you Cyndi. I appreciate your love and care for Oreo.”
“Peyton was available to board our dog last minute and did a wonderful job. Our dog can be anxious when she’s away from home and Peyton took great care of her and provided lots of updates and photos which put us at ease knowing she was safe and having fun.”
“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”
“1000+ stars for Jay! She’s absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving my 1 year old pup since adopting her in January, and I couldn’t have chosen someone better than Jay. I was worried about how she might behave due to her separation anxiety, but Jay was so welcoming and sweet that Coco felt as though she had been home all time. Jay kept me updated with pictures, videos and texts of Coco. Truly amazed with the level of care Coco received in her week long stay with Jay. Coco was even sad to leave! I will definitely continue to use Jay’s boarding services. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“We contacted Kelsi at the last minute to ask if she could watch our dog and she responded immediately with a yes. She asked if there was anything our dog could not have which was very thoughtful. As soon as we got to her house, our dog immediately loved her and started playing with her dog. She sent us pics to show us how much fun she was having. Our dog played so hard, she was exhausted when we picked her up the next day. She has slept all day which means she had a fun time. Definitely will be using again.”
“Susan is not only a wonderful sitter, she loves pets like as if they were her own! Susan has been sitting my 2 long haired cats since March when I had an unexpected death in the family. I could not find anyone to sit for my 2 cats with such short notice, I was in a pinch. Susan came to my rescue and responded quickly! I'm till this day very grateful to her! When I came back from my trip and picked my cats up from her, I had a hard time getting them back in their carrier! They didn't want to leave! I was so happy that my cats felt comfortable with Susan. I didn't mind them not wanting to leave and giving me a run around her house for half an hour trying to get them in their carrier. Susan is loving, caring and very knowledgeable about cats and she has given me pointers on challenges I have had with my cats, so she is not just a person that watches your pets. I'm very happy I found Susan, she is wonderful and my cats love her! I highly recommend her services!”
“Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.”
“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”
“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”
“My pooch was very well cared for with Susan! She has a sweet dog herself that was great play companion. Appreciated daily pics to keep me updated of how she was doing!”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!”
“Stacey and her dogs made my dog feel very comfortable and took great care of her! Her communication was prompt. Will reach out to Stacey again for sitting needs.”
“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”
“Amy was friendly and professional. Our dog was well-loved and cared for during his stay. She sent us cute pictures of our dog throughout the week. We will definitely book with Amy again!”
“Panda had a great time with Jennifer and her family. We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent, which showed how well Panda was being cared for. We’re very happy with the experience and hope to have Panda stay there again!”

About: I have always had a cat in my household and was blessed to work in an animal shelter with cats of all spiciness. I have experience in giving medicine, cleaning ears, trimming nails, as well as the typical litter box cleaning and socialization. I have a talent of bringing scared kitties out of their shells and building their trust on their terms.
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾
“Shannon is reliable and highly communicative. Our cat is very anxious and not always on her best behavior. Shannon is a gem and deals with anything that may come her way. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and currently care for my special needs cat, who needs extra attention, patience, and medical support. I understand the boundaries many cats require and know that some simply need a little extra TLC while you’re away. I’m comfortable providing daily care, including administering oral medication and helping with shots if needed. I’m calm, confident, and fully prepared to give your cat the routine care and respect they deserve. Thanks so much for considering me! I’d love to help your cat feel safe and cared for in your absence.
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all temperaments and types for my entire life. Pet-care is something I take seriously and seriously enjoy! We don’t deserve our animals, so they deserve the best! I’m working part-time from 4am-12pm so my daily schedule is pretty open! I’m comfortable house-sitting if needed or just checking in and caring for your pets, whatever they need! I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats and i’m very open to your requirements or instructions! I try my hardest to make sure they are comfortable, cared-for, and not stressed by my presence.
About: I have four male rescue cats myself. I have had cats growing up and work with them in the shelter often. Comfortable with and have experience in medication administration and senior care. Knowledgeable of cat behavior.
“Chloe was absolutely wonderful with the cat crew, they adored her! Lily willingly took her medicine. Tommy and Mitchell let her brush them. They really enjoyed her visits, I can tell bc they didn’t get up to some mischief while I was away. I appreciate her putting out treats and even using the puzzles ones for Tommy which he loves. I came back to a house in good order and happy cats. It was obvious that she cleaned the boxes regularly as instructed and any messes they may have made. It was my first time away from them for a week since the pandemic and I was very nervous for them. Chloe’s visits reassured them and her thorough reports reassured me. I will definitely rebook Chloe for future travel!”
“Always can count on Steven! My cats have been sick and he is compassionate and patient. So grateful to have his understanding and to know they were well cared for during our trip.”
“Jazmine did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. It’s a long time for me to be away, but I had total peace of mind knowing that Jazmine was spending time with my cat and looking after the house! She sent great updates, was very responsive, was flexible when I requested her to do another drop in after some travel delays, and I came home to a tidy apartment! Your pets and home are in great hands with Jazmine!”
“Did an amazing job with our two trouble makers. They definitely loved Farrah so much. Felt so comfortable with how happy they were. Definitely going to be my sitter from now on.”
“Katy did a fantastic job, and I was able to enjoy and relax on my vacation knowing she was taking good care of Esme. I will book her again in the future. Super sweet person!”

“We’ve had Peyton care for our horses, cats and dogs for years, long before she joined River. Never had a problem and she’s always provided a secure, loving caring and healthy environment for our pets and animals. She adores animals, and is very knowledgeable in their care and training.”
About: I have taken care of multiple 8 week old pups & 8+ y/o ones as well. I would say I am trained all over the pup spectrum. My jobs are flexible & I normally can be available Monday-Sunday for all your pet sitter needs! So taking care of your pets will not be a problem. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs & routines, whether in my home or the client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation with the help of 3 dogs who I share a home with. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, & any specific care instructions. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.
About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.
“Storm had a wonderful time with Ciara (and Fitz and Dolly.) Communication was outstanding and we really appreciated Ciara's preparedness as well! She clearly loves animals and was able to provide a fun environment for all her guests!”
“Jasmine was great with our little puppy Bear! We had something come up last minute and she was available to take care of him at her house. Jasmine sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and Bear came home a happy sleepy pup! Will definitely be using Jasmine’s services again in the future!”
“Teela is amazing! She is very responsive and communicated with us every step of the way and eased our minds about leaving our fur baby in good hands. Loved getting updates and pics and being able to see our pup having a great time. Thank you Teela, look forward to more visits!!”
“Susan and Josh were such great hosts for June! Lots of outdoor space, and other dogs to hang out with. I would recommend this home to any pet and will use again if we’re in the area!”
About: I've loved dogs for the longest time and ever since I've had my own, you quickly realize they are more than a pet, they are family. My dog and I will treat your dog just like family during their visit. I succeeded well in training my dog on my own from house training, to off leash, to playing hide and seek, and I understand the important component of upholding and instilling any of your training while you're not present. As of June 30th, I no longer work remotely, but work very close to home. I still will have plenty of time to give your pup comfort and attention throughout the day. I am available most weekdays and weekends, but may become more limited depending on the season. I have 1 dog, a small Yorkshire Terrier who is known as Mr. President because he loves to greet and befriend each pet or person he sees, no matter the size. He is super friendly and playful and would love to be a great friend and playmate with your pup. I can easily crate your dog if needed with one you provide or with one of my own crates or expandale play pens. My yard is open, but there is plenty of space for fun. I enjoy long walks, so if your pup needs to get in multiple miles, I can make that happen. I have a multi level townhome. Dogs are allowed anywhere in the home except for the kitchen. If your dog loves the outdoors, i have a small deck and a small enclosed front balcony they can hang on. There are plenty of toys and puzzles, but you are of course welcome to provide their favorite toy.
“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”
“My dogs really enjoyed their stay with Nadia...they came home and passed out from exhaustion so I know they had fun! Nadia has a nice fenced in yard for the dogs to play, and screens other dogs well to ensure that there is no doggy drama. I will definitely be using her as a sitter again soon!”
“Kelsi and her family were wonderful hosts to Fin! They were adaptable as I needed a last minute pet sit for a couple of hours. Fin loved hanging at their house and he was super comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with Kelsi again!”
About: Hello! I am looking to assist with care of your furry friends!! -Combined pet experience of 30+ years, all ages particularly seniors as well! I worked for veterinary services specializing in boarding care for 8 years through out schooling -Will ensure your home is left in the condition received with minimal housekeeping (will take trash out and clean up any pet accidents they may have due to medical conditions. Additional requests can be discussed with or without additional pricing) -Our commitment is to ensure your pets safety, emotionally and physically as if they are our own -Regular updates will be provided streamlining communication -I choose Rover over other traditional “2nd jobs”, because I want to enjoy the work we do! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I have a full-time job, however, remotely!! This allows one person at all times to care for your pets, during most hours! My personal break(s) will be scheduled based on both client and provider agreed upon schedules. For example: after evening pet care, there will be a 2-4 hour provider break for dinner and family time before returning for overnight care. Home has pvc wood vinyl for easy mess clean up. The yard is flat and fully fenced in. Warmer weather will have plastic kiddo pools for dogs to cool off. If your dog weighs more than 85 pounds, I require dogs to be leashed trained and/or with a “no pull” dog harness for the safety of your pet and care taker. Meaning, dogs that continually pull excessively while on leash, will either receive short potty breaks, or only “fenced-in” activities. This will be agreed upon at initial encounter. We understand the need to burn off energy! We want to keep everyone safe while we strive to keep the routine as close to yours as much as possible.
“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”
“Katie did an amazing job with our puppy Bear! She made him feel so welcome and safe and her sweet Louie is an angel - wore bear out! Katie was so easy to work with and gets an A++ for communication! Bear will definitely go back to Katie Camp!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little and have always been the designated pet-sitter in my neighborhood. I have watched puppies as well as elderly dogs, and am equipped to take care of their individual needs and routines! I am currently working part time and have a very flexible and open schedule. I have an active lifestyle and prefer to take multiple walks per day and will happily bring some furry company along! I also wake up early so I can make sure your pets are fed and taken care of within their normal routines. I have my own car that I am able to take over to clients’ homes to watch their pets at any times. And my own backyard is fenced and ready for boarding dogs. I have a small dachshund/yorkie mix that is very social and two sweet black cats that love company as well.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life! I currently have a 3 year old and 3 month old labrador retriever. I am comfortable with dogs/cats of all ages and sizes. I currently work 3 days a week, so I am pretty flexible! I know my schedule well in advance. My days off are open and I can change hours around as needed. I have a 3 month old puppy who is still learning. I am comfortable reinforcing any training your pet may be learning. I want to make sure your pet feels loved and safe during my time caring for them!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.

“It was a pleasure working with Shannon during her first visit to our home to walk our dog. Her communication was excellent, she responded to my booking request and to my texts quickly and set my mind at ease that she would take good care of our dog and she did. I also really appreciated her summary of the visit and photos. I look forward to her next visit.”

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I love all breeds. I enjoy getting dogs to play and do tricks for treats. My family and I enjoy making your pet family. Sleeping cuddling and lots of attention is what they get while here. Most dogs don't want to leave when they come. I have several repeat dogs and they get out of the car and run to the house. Where they have an abundance of toys bones and beds to relax on. I believe the dog should be on your schedule so I do my best with that. Huge yard provides safe exercise time. Sunbathing an added bonus. I will even bathe your pup upon request. So don't stress and let me take care of the rest. I currently do this part time. Around working as a waitress part time.

About: I have had pets in my life since I was 6. Ever since then I have had at least one pet in my life at all times. As of now I have 6 pets at home. From big dogs to little dogs i’ve walked them, played with them, and have had fun with them. I love getting to know a dog and playing on their level or age ability. Pet care would fit in great with my schedule. I’m a tennis coach in the mornings, looking to reduce my hours on court to get a little more out of my last summer break. I’m extremely flexible and mostly available after 12 noon or slightly after then. In a clients home I would ensure the pet has the essentials they need. I would make sure to not touch anything that is not mine and make sure the pet has some company and is being looked after!
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd who can be very anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable.

My goal is to provide dependable care for both your pet and your home, while making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.
“Keith did an amazing job! He communicated very well with me while watching my baby. He has the same dog breed as mines ( a mini schnauzer) and he walked them together which I think was really sweet since i mentioned I felt like my puppy needed more contact with other dogs. I will definitely be booking again ❤️”

“We were very happy with the care that Jennifer gave to our dog. This was our first experience leaving our dog so we were nervous but Jennifer made us feel comfortable and sent pictures each day. Jennifer is very experienced and well trained in dealing with different types of dogs.”
“Ciara was terrific with our little guy. I was so nervous leaving him for the first time. And she did everything in her power to make sure I knew he was taken care of. As a pet mama (small business owner) who goes on frequent trips, she really is amazing!”
“Kingsley had a fantastic stay at Matt's place. Matt updated us often with photos and details of his attitude and comportment, and it was clear our dog was having fun. He seemed to get a good mix of play and rest time and we knew he was in good hands. We'll definitely be back!”
“Cyndi was very considerate. I loved the way she treated my little guy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent me updates frequently and I had a peace of mind while my fur baby with her. Thank you Cyndi. I appreciate your love and care for Oreo.”
“Peyton was available to board our dog last minute and did a wonderful job. Our dog can be anxious when she’s away from home and Peyton took great care of her and provided lots of updates and photos which put us at ease knowing she was safe and having fun.”
“We contacted Kelsi at the last minute to ask if she could watch our dog and she responded immediately with a yes. She asked if there was anything our dog could not have which was very thoughtful. As soon as we got to her house, our dog immediately loved her and started playing with her dog. She sent us pics to show us how much fun she was having. Our dog played so hard, she was exhausted when we picked her up the next day. She has slept all day which means she had a fun time. Definitely will be using again.”
“Susan is not only a wonderful sitter, she loves pets like as if they were her own! Susan has been sitting my 2 long haired cats since March when I had an unexpected death in the family. I could not find anyone to sit for my 2 cats with such short notice, I was in a pinch. Susan came to my rescue and responded quickly! I'm till this day very grateful to her! When I came back from my trip and picked my cats up from her, I had a hard time getting them back in their carrier! They didn't want to leave! I was so happy that my cats felt comfortable with Susan. I didn't mind them not wanting to leave and giving me a run around her house for half an hour trying to get them in their carrier. Susan is loving, caring and very knowledgeable about cats and she has given me pointers on challenges I have had with my cats, so she is not just a person that watches your pets. I'm very happy I found Susan, she is wonderful and my cats love her! I highly recommend her services!”
“Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.”
“My pooch was very well cared for with Susan! She has a sweet dog herself that was great play companion. Appreciated daily pics to keep me updated of how she was doing!”
“Stacey and her dogs made my dog feel very comfortable and took great care of her! Her communication was prompt. Will reach out to Stacey again for sitting needs.”
“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”
“Panda had a great time with Jennifer and her family. We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent, which showed how well Panda was being cared for. We’re very happy with the experience and hope to have Panda stay there again!”
“Aaren and Jordan are absolutely amazing, phenomenal pet sitters! From the moment I left Arya in their care, I knew she was in loving and patient hands. They treated her like family, and that meant everything to me while I was away. Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾”
“Nicole, Austyn and Tank are literally the best!! This is my third/fourth time leaving my baby dog with Nicole for a long stay… just knowing that everything is fine while out of the country is one of the best feelings!”
“This is our second time leaving our two babies with Sheri, and she is amazing! Very communicative and she and her kids were so great with our dogs. Trust her and her kids with our babies and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Miguel and his wife were absolutely incredible! From the moment I connected with them, I could tell how genuinely kind, warm, and caring they are. My flight was delayed by four hours, and without hesitation they adjusted their schedule to accommodate me, which meant more than I can express. This was my very first time ever leaving my puppy alone, so I was naturally anxious and emotional, but they completely put my heart at ease. They sent frequent updates, photos, and sweet messages about how my puppy was doing, allowing me to truly relax and enjoy a peaceful, worry-free vacation. It was so comforting to see how loved, safe, and happy my pup was in their care — they truly treat the dogs as if they were their own. I am beyond grateful for the patience, flexibility, and genuine love they showed, and I trust them wholeheartedly. I will absolutely be using them again and highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💕”
“They took great care of our large dog and followed extra care precautions he needed. We were never worried as we got a picture daily with an update. Thanks again and we will use you again soon!!”
“Jonathan watch my golden Kobi for a weekend. He was responsive and flexible with my drop-off/pick-up times. He sent videos of kobi playing with the other pups and I knew he was in good hands! I recommend Jonathan and would leave kobi under his care again! Thank you! :)”
