“We had a great experience with Tatiana and would absolutely book with her again! She was incredibly easy to coordinate with from start to finish, which made travel planning so much less stressful. Our dog Shep seemed to really enjoy his stay and made new friends! We also especially appreciated Tatiana’s care and communication around a hot spot flare-up Shep was dealing with right before his stay. Tatiana kept us updated on how he was doing, including how he was handling his medication and whether she noticed any licking or itching, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her location is also super convenient to the airport (IAD), which was a huge plus for travel happening by plane. Thank you, Tatiana, for a great stay for Shep and wonderful experience for us dog parents!”
“Jill and her family made sure to keep our dog on his medication schedule and monitor his healing knee injury. It wasn’t an ideal time to go on vacation but Jill reassured me and explained to me that she had experience giving medication and that her home would be a safe environment. I came back to a happy dog that was moving better than when I had dropped him off.”
“Inji had a wonderful time at Ishita’s. We got constant updates and pictures. We were very well informed. It was our first experience with Rover and Ishita made the whole process very easy and friendly.”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
“As always Penny received the best care with Juli! She has a great set-up in her house and fenced in yard that is similar to what Penny is used to so she feels right at home.”
“We traveled from NY to MD. we needed someone take care of Franco then I found a great person! She has a huge yard that Franco enjoyed a lot with other dogs! Communication with her was fun and very quick so, I had never worried about him. If we go back there again I contact Sophia again! thank you so much!!”
“Karen clearly enjoys giving an attentive and supportive care to her furry charges. I know that Runi had a wonderful time during the two weeks I was traveling. I saw lots of pictures every day of him playing with other dogs, walking contentedly on outings, taking his meals and even sometimes sleeping. Indeed, I think Runi misses Karen and I know he will greet her cheerfully on his next stay”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Leslie is the ultimate dog host. Theo was loved from the moment he entered her home. Leslie gave Theo so much attention and took the time to get to know his habits and needs. The daily photos and videos and summary of activities allowed me to have a window into his time while I was away. I never had a moments worry. Theo received so much love - Leslie is the absolute best and Theo will be back!”
About: 30+ Years of Experience: Puppies to Seniors I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over three decades, caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how to read canine body language and cater to different life stages: Puppies: Patient with potty routines, basic manners, and high-energy play. Seniors: Gentle, attentive, and experienced with mobility support, low-impact routines, and administering oral or topical medications on a strict schedule. Work-From-Home Care & Supervision As a self-employed professional working full-time from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. Whether they need a mid-day bathroom break, a play session, or just someone present to keep them company while I work, I offer consistent supervision and a calm, reliable routine throughout the day. Pet-Friendly Home & Spacious Fenced Yard Our entire home is fully set up for dogs! We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. We also have one high-energy, super-friendly resident dog who loves meeting new friends and playing with our furry guests. If your dog prefers a buddy to burn off energy with, they’ll have a built-in playmate here. Active Walks & Nearby Trails I love staying active! Living right near several fantastic walking trails makes it easy to provide fresh air, structured exercise, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog's fitness level—whether that’s a lively stride on the trails or a relaxed sniff-walk around the neighborhood.
“Sri and Aparna were wonderful hosts to Cody. I had a last minute cancellation for coverage and they responded quickly. He enjoyed their fenced in yard and time with the family, including their cute dog. He got treats for entertaining them. Great experience.”
“I love having Xinyi watch my kitties! I especially love all the updates she gives about them. Puts my mind at ease they are in a safe and loving home while I’m on travel.”
“Valerie was great. She sent so many updates, pictures, and videos showing just how happy our dog was. He was so well taken care of and was having so much fun with Valerie’s dog we almost felt bad picking him up.”
“Lauren took such great care of my Teddy while I was out of town. Plenty of walks and play time, he looked so happy in every photo she sent (except for the ones he was peacefully snoozing in). I’d leave Teddy with her again anytime!”
“Thank you Johanna for taking such good care of our Rosie. She seems to really enjoyed yourself and to have bonded with you and your sons. We felt very leaving her with you and look forward to maybe getting to use you again. I would highly recommend you for doing such a good job! O”

“Lissa provided top notch service and made me feel very comfortable trusting her in my home with my kitties. This was my first Rover experience, and I will definitely use the service again. Hopefully Lissa will be available!”
“Marcia was great with communicating before during and after she took care of our sweet cat. She took lots of photos and told us what was happening every day. We're already planning on using her services again on our next trip!”
About: I have two cats who are part of my family: Copita, who is 7 years old, and Lucas, who is 5. I'm usually attentive and understanding regarding their space and their moments of madness. I've been working officially as a cat sitter in my country for a year now, so I know their basic care needs and any complex needs they might have.
“Yekaterina is awesome! Friendly, responsive, communicative and especially kind and caring to our elderly girl, Mamie. We really appreciate Kat and hope we can work with her regularly. The next time we might decide to a weekend trip instead of only a day away and we can rest assured that our girl will be well cared for! Kat is A+!”
“Skylar was great! We had last minute changes and he was so flexible. He got on well with my cat who is notoriously shy. We will absolutely use him again! Thank you so much!”
“Abigail was wonderful checking on my cat daily and very responsive. She spent time and took great care of her. It was my first time using Rover and will definitely request Abigail in the future!”
“Sarina was the perfect person to care for my two cats. She was attentive, caring and took a lot of pictures, which showed me how comfortable Chuck and Steve were with her. She also wrote a detailed log with each visit to let me know how the cats were doing and that even if they started out a little shy, they got more and more confident as the visits went on. I know that my furbabies weren't lacking for attention with Sarina! Will definitely rebook in future.”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of my cat, Mya, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was kind, professional, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about animals. The biggest compliment I can give is that my cat, who is normally very shy and doesn’t trust many people, became comfortable with Jennifer. That meant a lot to me and showed how patient and caring she was. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!”
“Cassidy took great care of my cats while I was away! She followed all care instructions, gave them their medication, kept the litterbox clean and the water dish full, and showered them with attention. She also sent good reports with photos after each visit.”
“Alexandra did a great job watching my cat who has pica! She was timely and followed the provided care instructions and shared pictures and updates every visit. She also let us know about the power outage and gave us updates so we could be sure our cat was doing okay during it. Nahla clearly enjoyed spending time with Alexandra, we will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“I was worried that my kitty wouldn't eat enought while I was on vacation because he has kidney disease and is very picky. Heather made the extra effort necessary to get him to eat. She also sent lots of pictures and expressed affection for my sweet kitty. I feel better about leaving him knowing that he will at least get a little love while I am gone.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have years of experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and giving your cat the attention they need while you’re away. I understand that every cat is different and always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: In my experience, cats are much more comfortable in their own homes, with visits from a caretaker person. I have had cats and been around cats all my life. I understand cats and won’t push them to be friendly if that’s not the cat’s personality. Kittens are another matter entirely. Please know that if they are destructive or high-energy, that is going to be a problem.
“Jillian did drop in visits for our two cats while we were away for about ten days. The cats were alive and well when we returned. She was very responsive to any of my questions/concerns and understanding of the novel length instructions I left. Thanks Jillian!”
“Cameron was great! She did a meet and greet with us which made us both feel more comfortable and then had no issues taking care of our cat. She’s also very communicative and responds quickly!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my calm, patient, and gentle approach to each dog. I pay close attention to their body language, needs, and comfort. I'm especially good with puppies who need gentle guidance and basic training, as well as with older dogs who require more leisurely walks, extra care, and a loving, comforting presence. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with the same kindness, respect, and affection I would want for my own. I recently moved and have free time since I have online classes during the week on alternate schedules, so I have time to play with your little ones and shower them with warmth and attention. Within my family, three of them are a furry friend named Balu who is 7 years old, a cat named Copito who is 6 years old, and a kitten named Lucas who is 5 years old. I am used to taking care of them and keeping them under constant supervision, not only in their diet but also in their physical and emotional well-being.

About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, keep pets in a safe and clean environment, and provide lots of love and attention. I will treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit.
About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.
“I had a great experience! Kaylyn and Naman accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of my dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“Highly recommend Kiran. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and got along. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made us so happy to see how at home our pup had made herself, and how welcomed she was into their home. I’m so happy to have had Penny cared by Kiran and will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years, and I truly love what I do! I’ve cared for playful puppies, laid-back adults, and sweet senior pets, making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I aim to make every pet feel relaxed and loved while their humans are gone. I am available most times Monday through Friday and can accommodate Saturday and/or Sunday and holidays with at least a weeks advance notice. I currently have a medium sized doodle and follow a routine of 2-3 walks per day, 1-2 potty and play breaks. I have a big yard with a long leash. Additionally I have a small portion of the yard that is fenced in for playtime. Dogs are allowed in my living room area.

“Ana is very kind and flexible with her schedule. She was able to watch my puppy last minute and he had the best time. He always comes back tired from all the fun! He loves playing with her dog Pluto and she is very easy to get ahold of. I always trust my puppy to have a great time. Super thankful to have found someone near me who provides a safe and fun place for my puppy to be during the day.”
“My pup had a great day hanging out all day and is totally pooped. Shows how much fun he had at Staci’s! Highly recommend and her pup Cooper is also such a sweetheart. Can’t wait to send my pup over again!”
“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
About: （Price is for dogs, cats have discount) I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs for over 8 years. From small cutie to big buddy (100lb+). I live in a house with a unfenced yard, so there are plenty of space for our furry friends. I’m working remotely at home. So my schedule is pretty flexible. I can bring them out on morning and noon for a small walk. And can walk them longer after work. I live in a house with a yard( not fenced). I have two cats and a dog. My dog loves play with other dogs. Also cats and dogs can be isolated.

About: I have always had dogs in my life from family dogs to favorite neighborhood dogs.

I am committed to bringing the same patience and attention to every pup I care for. I am experienced with separation anxiety and know the importance of being sure your dog feels safe and secure while you are out. I have the summers off so am able to care for dogs throughout the week and weekend. During the school year I am available on weekends and some holidays.

“Skylar is so awesome with our Paddy! We haven't had a dog walker since we got Paddy in March 2020, so he is super nervous when someone comes in the house--even more so when we're not there. Skylar has been so patient and gentle with him. Highly recommend!!!”
“Marti is always so wonderful with our dog Hemi! She is very responsive with walking requests when sent. She is flexible with timing and will always make herself available for your doggo. Further, Hemi loves her and at the end of their walk Marti even spends time with our cat giving her AND Hemi both treats and pets.”
“Vinnie was very thorough by coming over the day before to prepare for the walk for the first time and fully knew what to do with Olive. Will definitely rebook!”

“Lissa has been really helpful and kind!! She took great care of our puppy with her heart. She always keeps us updated every time she comes to walk and feed our puppy. I would work with her again in the future if we need such services!!”
“Amazing dog walker! She was reliable, professional, and took great care of my dogs. They absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would hire her again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”
About: I have had several dogs but do not currently have any pets. I have had to give medicine to dogs and lots of experience with puppy “accidents”. I’m a teacher, so during summer and breaks I have lots of free time. I have two boys, both of whom love animals. They would love to have a pet visit our home. I can only house-sit when I don’t have my children with me, but can board an animal anytime. Important to note that during the school year my Friday availability is evening only. I have a fenced yard. At my home, I can almost guarantee your dog or cat would get to sleep in a child’s bed and be loved like family. At your home, I would respect any rules you have set.
About: Hello! I am a student at the University of South Wales doing my bachelor's in Wildlife Ecology Conservation. Im looking for petsitting/dog walking work while Im here through september. Im an aspiring veterinarian and have cared for anything domestic like dogs, cats, birds, or rabbits and exotics like hedgehogs, lions, and elephants. Please let me know if you need any animal care this summer! Im affordable and flexible ❤️🐶🐘 Im currently on school break and taking summer online classes. I love high energy dogs to join me on local hikes and long walks or low energy dogs to keep me company on the couch or while I work on my online classes. Im flexible! How I manage your pet depends on their personality. If theyre a cuddle bug theyll be right there with me all the time, but if they prefer their own space I'll keep them company from the other room
“Skyler was wonderful with my dog, Cooper! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates during the visit, and made sure he got his evening medication. Cooper seemed really comfortable with her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated her communication and the great care she took of him. I would absolutely book with Skyler again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a teacher who is looking forward to working with pets! I have had my own dog for 10+ years and have taken care of other dogs as well! Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am also an active dog sitter who lives near Algonkian Park! During the academic school year my availability is a little different, but my summer schedule is very flexible. I love spending time with my own dog and will take her out during various parts of the day if the weather allows. I firmly believe that pets are such important members of the family and giving them all the care and love is priority! When I care for pets, I make sure they are fed, taken outside on their daily walks and have some fun! When going on a walk, I make sure to carry a water, portable water bowl, bags and treats. I also check the temperature and make sure the heat index has not surpassed the recommended temperature for walking dogs. When feeding pets, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule and the amount recommended by their owner. I also check with the dog owner, if the pets have any allergies, medication or other health concerns. I ensure a safe, loving and welcoming space for each pet. My summer days are super flexible. I am also open to do super early walks, or late check-ins for dogs. My schedule during the day is open. I’m also available to housesit during the weekends. I try to update my calendar every two weeks. I treat any pet as my own pet. I ensure that they are comfortable, that they are fed, that they are also having fun and they feel safe. I know changes can sometimes cause pets to become anxious, and I want to ensure that while their human goes on trips, or is away, they are feeling like they are taken care of and feel safe!

“We had a great experience with Tatiana and would absolutely book with her again! She was incredibly easy to coordinate with from start to finish, which made travel planning so much less stressful. Our dog Shep seemed to really enjoy his stay and made new friends! We also especially appreciated Tatiana’s care and communication around a hot spot flare-up Shep was dealing with right before his stay. Tatiana kept us updated on how he was doing, including how he was handling his medication and whether she noticed any licking or itching, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her location is also super convenient to the airport (IAD), which was a huge plus for travel happening by plane. Thank you, Tatiana, for a great stay for Shep and wonderful experience for us dog parents!”
“Jill and her family made sure to keep our dog on his medication schedule and monitor his healing knee injury. It wasn’t an ideal time to go on vacation but Jill reassured me and explained to me that she had experience giving medication and that her home would be a safe environment. I came back to a happy dog that was moving better than when I had dropped him off.”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
“As always Penny received the best care with Juli! She has a great set-up in her house and fenced in yard that is similar to what Penny is used to so she feels right at home.”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
About: 30+ Years of Experience: Puppies to Seniors I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over three decades, caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how to read canine body language and cater to different life stages: Puppies: Patient with potty routines, basic manners, and high-energy play. Seniors: Gentle, attentive, and experienced with mobility support, low-impact routines, and administering oral or topical medications on a strict schedule. Work-From-Home Care & Supervision As a self-employed professional working full-time from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. Whether they need a mid-day bathroom break, a play session, or just someone present to keep them company while I work, I offer consistent supervision and a calm, reliable routine throughout the day. Pet-Friendly Home & Spacious Fenced Yard Our entire home is fully set up for dogs! We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. We also have one high-energy, super-friendly resident dog who loves meeting new friends and playing with our furry guests. If your dog prefers a buddy to burn off energy with, they’ll have a built-in playmate here. Active Walks & Nearby Trails I love staying active! Living right near several fantastic walking trails makes it easy to provide fresh air, structured exercise, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog's fitness level—whether that’s a lively stride on the trails or a relaxed sniff-walk around the neighborhood.
“I love having Xinyi watch my kitties! I especially love all the updates she gives about them. Puts my mind at ease they are in a safe and loving home while I’m on travel.”
“Valerie was great. She sent so many updates, pictures, and videos showing just how happy our dog was. He was so well taken care of and was having so much fun with Valerie’s dog we almost felt bad picking him up.”
“Lauren took such great care of my Teddy while I was out of town. Plenty of walks and play time, he looked so happy in every photo she sent (except for the ones he was peacefully snoozing in). I’d leave Teddy with her again anytime!”
“Thank you Johanna for taking such good care of our Rosie. She seems to really enjoyed yourself and to have bonded with you and your sons. We felt very leaving her with you and look forward to maybe getting to use you again. I would highly recommend you for doing such a good job! O”
“Sujan went above and beyond to take excellent care of my Paco boy! I love that he believes in a fresh diet. Paco seemed very content when I picked him up, and Sujan kept me informed daily on his care. I will always book with Sujan in the future.”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“I can't say enough great things about Lauren and her family! She's very caring and communicative, keeping us updated when our pup was suffering a bit of an upset stomach and taking care of him like he was her own.”
“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter. She kept careful, complete records noting how many walks our 2 Cavapoos had each day and their feeling schedule. She sent a wonderful collage of photos every day we were gone, with an accompanying commentary about their hilarious behavior! She was the PERFECT sitter for our highly active pups and you could tell they were so happy to be with her - you could almost see the smiles on their faces in the photos. She is clearly a dog-lover and will provide your pet with a happy, safe, and loving environment for their entire stay. We will never use a commercial boarding service again and have already booked another stay with the most wonderful dog sitter ever. We highly recommend Elizabeth for all your pet-sitting needs!”
“We love having Susanna take care of Ruby! She’s kind, prompt, and makes sure our pup is taken care of when we need a drop in or have to spend a night away. Thank you Susanna!”
