“Jennifer was awesome! My dogs were very comfortable in her house and I loved the updates she provided while we were away! This was our first time using rover and Jennifer and it was a great experience overall, we will definitely use Jennifer’s service again!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“My girl tends to be very nervous and scared around new people and environments and she has never been left with anyone before so of course I was worried with how everything would go. Cyndi made my dog feel so at ease and sent me so many updates my girl was right at home within an hour. I was so happy! Bailey will be back soon!”
“Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!”
“Camille was awesome! She sent pictures everyday showing how Pepsi was doing, which I must say, he had a great time with her. She was super easy to work with, flexible and understanding. I strongly recommend Camille for her service. I’m confident that once you work with her, you will become a permanent customer to her. Thank you for your great service, Camille!”
“Sally was well cared for and had a great stay last weekend! My high energy lab had lots of play time and Elizabeth sent me many photos and updates. Highly recommend Elizabeth, thank you!!”
“Terry is a kind woman and knows her dogs! She takes care of rescue dogs, and our dogs Leo and Baby Girl, were fine when we picked them up. She walked them a lot, which is wonderful because I have a spinal condition which, prevents me from walking them as much as I would like to. She has a lovely daughter who helps her. She washed their crate blanket and pad cover before we picked them up. She is very responsible and goes the extra mile.”
“We had an excellent experience with Amy. Communication was clear, easy drop off and pick up and she sent lots of photos of our dog having a blast with her dogs. We will definitely use her again.”
“We LOVED Andreaa!! She was absolutely fantastic with our 9 month old lab puppy who boarded at her house for 7 days while we were on vacation. Andreaa was extremely communicative and sent videos, pictures and updates on our sweet pup everyday. Our puppy accidentally tore apart the dog bed in her crate one day and Andreaa went above and beyond to sew a patch on Ginger’s bed so we could still use it. I would definitely recommend Andreaa; she’s outstanding and our puppy was in great hands ?”
“I’m so happy Vanessa decided to sit with my girls. She loved on them as I would and that’s all I could ever ask for. The communication was awesome and I appreciated all the effort she put into making my mind at ease being away from my fur babies. Thank you so much, Vanessa. I’ll need to bring them to see you in between sittings.”
“Ashli is a wonderful person and pet sitter! She is so good with dogs and took great care of our dog, Zoey, like she was one of her own. Ashli also sent us so many sweet pictures and videos while we were away, which were so nice to receive. She also has a sweet dog, Fozzy, that Zoey got to hang with. We felt very safe and comforted knowing that Ashli was taking care of Zoey. We will definitely call her up again!”
“Elizabeth was kind enough to board Sam for me which was awesome because my dog could in and out at his leisure which is an ideal set up. She also kept in touch with me on how he was doing.”
“Highly recommend. Damacia took care of Teddy very well.. Teddy attached to her as a family member. She updated every day with his picture. Thanks Damacia 🥰”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.
“Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”
“Ashley and her partner were wonderful! This was our puppy’s first night away and they made both us and her feel immediately comfortable. They are knowledgeable about dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay. Even the kids were great and helped her get some energy out! Would absolutely book with them again.”
“We have used Ronda twice! Both times my dog was extremely well taken care of and spoiled! Really can’t stress enough how grateful for her flexibility and kindness. My dog fell in love with her immediately and I can tell she enjoys the bond. Recommend to anyone looking for someone who will really care for their fur baby.”
“Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!”

“Kelley was a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my cat while I was gone for almost a month. She communicated constantly, was very transparent about everything that was going on while I was on my trip, and made me feel very at peace. I highly recommend Kelley!”
“Katie is an amazing pet sitter! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with a meet-and-greet where we got to know her and could see how much she genuinely cares about pets. During her visits, she left detailed updates along with adorable photos, which made us feel reassured that our pets were in great hands. She was always quick to respond to any questions, which was such a comfort. Thank you, Katie, for your kindness and professionalism! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“cathy was completely understandable when it came to picking up my cats earlier than expected and rearranged the dates for me. she truly goes above and beyond !!!!”
“Liz was wonderful! Sent me tons of pics and really made me feel comfortable. She took great care of my 2 cats. She even was able to last minute watch them longer as I had a family emergency. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was wonderful! When the girls met her, they were really receptive and came right up to her. Lauren is communicative and attended to all of my request for house/cat sitting. She truly does love fur babies”
About: Hello! I’ve had a wonderful opportunity in life to meet many cats, whether they’re strays or family cats, and I’ve wanted to love and keep them all. I have had family cats all my life, having and taking care of three cats at once. I have experience with senior cats and kittens, and would love to meet yours. All cats will have their litter boxes cleaned daily, water and food bowls cleaned and filled, and all cats cuddled and loved. I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur baby!
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual personalities. Over the past year, I’ve regularly cat sat for neighbors in my apartment community, providing consistent, reliable care. I’m especially comfortable with shy or independent cats and take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and build trust. I pay close attention to routines and notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or mood. I’m detail-oriented with litter box care, feeding, and maintaining a clean environment. I also prioritize clear communication and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is well cared for.
“We had a great experience with Veronica, who helped us with cat and house sitting. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and given attention while we were away. We also appreciated that the house was well-kept when we returned. Communication was smooth throughout, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we look forward to reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Brandi is amazing! She watches my two cats whenever I'm out of town. She has helped me out with last minute plans on more than one occasion. Brandi is very reliable and I feel like she has really made a connection with my kitties!”
“This is the first time that I used Rover and I struck it rich with Elizabeth! She took great care of my kitty and sent daily notes and photos. I’ll definitely use Rover again and request Elizabeth.”
About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting for over 2 years now. I recently relocated to the Richmond area and joined Rover to continue sitting as my previous clients were through word of mouth. I have a background that includes caring for dogs of all sizes (dachshunds, corgis, aussies, doodles, terriers, dobermans, newfies). Growing up with dogs in my family, I have an innate understanding of their needs and affectionate nature. Contact me to discuss how I can cater to your pet’s specific needs! I work a full time job and do go into the office 3 days most weeks. This is why my availability is usually Friday to Monday. I will work with your pets needs to ensure they are well cared for and happy around both of our schedules. I’ve honed my skills in creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets by growing up with a dog always in the house and through my previous 2 years of pet & house sitting. Your pets welfare is my top priority, and to do this, I’ll need to know as much as possible about them before the job starts. This includes a meet and greet where we can both ask questions, and a mutual observation of interacting with your pet. I look forward to providing them with the love, care, and attention they deserve.
“Caitlin took wonderful care of my two diva felines. Food, water, letterbox, and was clear from the daily photos they got plenty of playtime, cuddles and treats. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs. I have taken care of multiple pets in a single home, with experience with both dogs and cats, and experience with reactive dogs and cats. I have been described as reliable and trustworthy. I will always make sure that your pets are treated with the utmost care and have all their needs met. I have a lot of flexibility this summer. I work a part-time job that only takes up ten hours of my week, providing me with plentiful flexibility to take care of your furry babies. I set up trust with animals by preferribly meeting them before I choose to take on a client. I make sure pets are fed twice a day, all the walks they need, I make sure pets are played with and recieve stimulation each day, along with giving them plenty of water refills and brushing as needed. I will filter clean the litter boxes of cats once a day and will replace litter as needed. I do not bring people over while I work and will clean up any messes made by the pets while I am taking care of them.
“Bianca took great care of our cats, dropping in to visit every day. They were happy and both mentally and physically healthy when we got home from an almost 3-week trip. We'll be long-term customers, for sure!”
“Mandy was fantastic! She was punctual, considerate, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire pet-sitting experience. I especially appreciated the regular photo updates, they were super helpful and gave me peace of mind while away. Our kitty was clearly well cared for, we will definitely use Mandy's services again. Highly recommend!”
“I would highly recommend Mark as your pet sitter. He was incredibly kind and attentive with our kitties and made sure they were well taken care of during our vacation! He was very communicative and kept us posted on any issues. I will be hiring Mark in the future and suggest you do the same!”

“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”
“Vannessa is very reliable and sweet! My puppy loves her. She sends pics/vids throughout the day. Its a bonus that she lives 5mins from me. Grateful to have found her as I wasn’t expecting to get Ace so soon. So thank you very much for all you do, it is more than appreciated!”
“Ashli has been a blessing in disguise for us! We’re so glad to have found her on Rover! Our little dog Boba loooooooves playing with Ashli’s puppies Rocky and Fozzy. We had the best meet and greet experience we’ve had so far on Rover. Ashli and her puppers spent plenty of time with us and she even went to the extent of showing us her home and talked through how Boba would be situated. Ashli has been amazing at sending updates while we’re away and genuinely cares for Boba’s wellbeing. We’ve struck gold with finding friends for Boba and us and will continue to seek her help and services as long as possible! Thank you Ashli!!”
“Zadie enjoyed her day stay at Andreea's today. The shady back yard was a perfect exercise spot in this hot, muggy Richmond weather. Andreea let me know via message that Zadie wasn't so interested in her food, which she made up for when she returned home! Guess she was having too much fun interacting with Andreea's two pups to think about eating. Smooth booking, arrival and departure.”
“Eva is amazing! She took great care of my rambunctious puppy and even taught her some training tips. She sent photos and updates frequently and I know my puppy received the best care and love.”
About: 🐾 What Makes Me the Paw-fect Sitter! Every pet I care for gets treated like my own — spoiled with love, belly rubs, and plenty of playtime!

Because when you’re away, your pup deserves a sitter who’s not just responsible — but really loves what they do! 🐶💛 🐕 How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday life — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. My days are built around making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. 🌅 Morning: I start the day with walks, breakfast, and playtime for the pups in my care — a happy start sets the tone for everyone! 🕛 Daytime: I schedule check-ins, walks, or drop-in visits around each pet’s specific routine, keeping their day as normal and comfortable as possible. 🌙 Evening: I wind down with dinner, cuddles, and quiet time — making sure every pet feels loved and relaxed before bedtime. 📅 Weekly: I plan my week around my pet clients’ needs — balancing regular bookings, playdates, and time for my own pets so everyone gets the best care and attention.

“Parneet was sweet and assured me my puppy was in good hands. It was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous. At the end of the day I picked up a calm, tired and happy puppy. Perfect.”
“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!”

“Zaria is wonderful with dogs. My little ones tend to be shy and skittish with strangers but not with her. They were comfortable immediately. It was such a relief to know they would be happy with her. I HIGHLY recommend Zaria to take for your fur babies too!”
About: I have a large variety of experience with dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I have had a myriad of pet-sitting jobs—for friends, family, and strangers! I also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for years when was younger, so I can work with dogs and cats of all mannerisms and at all stages of their lives. I am completely comfortable medicating or attending to any special needs. I work remotely so I will be home to give your pet all the attention they may need any day of the week. Pet care fits very easily in my routine since I have 2 of my own! I live in a townhome and have a small fenced in yard that is good for potty breaks and some outdoor chilling, but there are also plenty of areas around me to walk the dogs. I have a 5-year-old 65 lb mixed breed dog named Baloo and a floofy orange cat named Bennett, so any dogs staying with me would need to be dog/cat friendly (or at least tolerating). If I come into your home, I am respectful of your space and able to follow instructions well.
“Katharine was so responsive and kind as I navigate a last minute work trip. Her house was obviously a pups heaven and I was so grateful that my dogs, Swoosh and Frankie, were able to stay with Katharine and Louie (x2) for a few hours. If we’re ever back in Richmond, Katharine will always be our first call!”

“Loren was great with my dog. She showed up every day she was scheduled for. I did deduct a star because one day she forgot to close my garage door on her way out and didn't notify me. She also came an hour and a half early one day without giving me a head's up. Overall she was still reliable and treated my dog with care.”
About: Hi I’m Corinne! I’ve loved animals since I was very young and took care of my dog since we adopted her in middle school. I began pet sitting in middle school and have taken care of a large range of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even a duck! Whether your pet needs long walks, quiet company, or extra pets, I’m down for the job! Additionally, I have spent over 100 hours volunteering at my local animal shelter during the summer and I’m continuing my animal knowledge as a Wildlife Conservation major at Virginia Tech. I am currently a student at Virginia Tech, but have lots of flexibility with my schedule especially in the evenings and weekends for pet care! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m reliable, communicative, and can always send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet in a capacity including accidents and litter boxes.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, growing up in a family that always had two dogs. As the eldest, I naturally took on a lot of the responsibility, feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up, helping with training, and of course giving plenty of love and playtime. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, always making sure to follow their instructions carefully so each pet feels comfortable and cared for just the way their family would want.😊 Working from home gives me the flexibility to be fully present for your pets throughout the day. I naturally take breaks often, which I love to spend playing, walking, or giving them attention so they feel happy and cared for. Since I can bring my work with me, I’m also able to stay in your home as long as needed; making sure your pets have company, comfort, and consistent care without ever feeling alone. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely so everything feels consistent for them. Since I work from home, I can spend plenty of time with your pets, giving them attention throughout the day. My goal is to treat them like family and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and never feel alone.
About: I started caring for dogs by the age of 13. Since then, I have been a reliable and safe pet sitter. I have grown up and taken care of larger dogs, which is where most of my experience has come from. I have cared for little and medium-sized dogs. I love quality time with the animals. Pet-sitting isn't just about letting them out and feeding them; it's about quality time. All dogs have a unique personality, and I love learning about who they are. That way, even when you're away, they are not alone. Every other day, I am out of school at 11:30, on the other days I am out at 3:25. I get up before school and go to the gym, which can easily be substituted for watching and caring for a pet. I work part-time, usually 2-3 shifts a week from 4:30-10:30 pm. That being said, I have plenty of time in the in-between of other activities to spend time with the animals. I work and live my best life with a schedule, so its no hassle to add in a furry animal in the mix! In the client's home, I will make sure all doors and fences are locked before and after my time over at the place. Lights will be off unless told otherwise. It will only be me in your home with your pets for safety purposes. All rules and directions will be followed, and I am not hesitant to reach out and ask questions because your pet's well-being and safety is important to me.
“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”
About: I am incredibly passionate about caring for animals and it brings me great joy and peace to be around them. I have been around pets since I was little and have worked with them all throughout my life, including walking, house sitting, and volunteer work at kennels. I am currently a Virginia Tech student on summer break, so this summer is the most flexible time for me to work! My services in Richmond will become unavailable by late August when I return to school. I have two adorable dogs in my home, a labradoodle and an australian shepherd. They get plenty of love and attention from me, including baths, brushing, and lots of walks! My australian shepherd is nearing the end of his life, so my family and I are doing our best to take care of him and give him the extra attention he needs.
About: Hey there! I'm Alyn and I absolutely LOVE spending my free time with pets!! I adore both cats and dogs and have over 10 years of experience caring for many pet personalities. With my own pets, I've cared for senior pets, dogs with special medical needs, reactive dogs (my current baby), anxious cats, and playful puppies. I've also worked at an animal shelter, where | provided care, walks, and enrichment to the dogs there. I learned so much about dog/cat body language, care, health, training, and even went on to teach this to children at their educational summer camps! I'd love to be your dog's best friend and make sure they have a safe and amazing time with me while you're away! I currently have ample availability to take on new clients and provide consistent services! I'd love to help with dog walks, drop-ins, and any other care that you need! Typically the earliest I start is 9am and the latest around 8-9pm. Need a bit earlier/later? Reach out! I'd love to work with you! The safety of your pets is of outmost importance to me and I pride myself in providing a safe and appropriate environment at all times. When in a client's home, I'm always sure to be mindful and adhere to the instructions agreed on prior. Rest assured your pets will be treated just as they are when you're there...well, perhaps a bit more spoiled: P
About: I’ve lived with dogs almost my entire life, from my birth, to this day. We’ve had 3 dogs total, and we have one currently. We had a Corgi named Laika (RIP), we had a Beagle named Maddie (RIP), and currently, we have a Foxhound mix that was a rescue that was just a few months old living in some hoarders house after she died or was evicted. She was born and lived in hoarder’s house until around 2023, when my dad decided to rescue her. Her name is Penny (Penelope is her full name and Pepperoni was her name with the litter ( named after pizza toppings, and many of her litter live close to us) She is the best dog in the world, and is very cute and full of play. She is a bit rowdy but in general a great dog to handle with. In general, I understand that each dog is different from others and will react differently to other dogs, humans and animals. I will make sure your dog is happy and safe! Should I need to cede care, custody, or control of a pet to anyone else during the service period (should Never happen) I will hand them over to my dad. Mark I am a college student at Reynolds community college, so I do receive work. However, on Monday’s and Wednesdays I am free after 3:30 to 5:30 pm, and on Thursdays I am free from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm and from 3:30pm to 5:30 pm. Other than that, I will let you know if I need to cancel if I have school work or something comes up! When I’m walking a dog, I make sure they feel safe and cared for. I pay attention to their pace and energy level, let them enjoy their time outside, and never rush the walk. My goal is for them to get good exercise and come home happy, tired and comfortable! I do carry dog bags.
“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”

“Jennifer was awesome! My dogs were very comfortable in her house and I loved the updates she provided while we were away! This was our first time using rover and Jennifer and it was a great experience overall, we will definitely use Jennifer’s service again!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“My girl tends to be very nervous and scared around new people and environments and she has never been left with anyone before so of course I was worried with how everything would go. Cyndi made my dog feel so at ease and sent me so many updates my girl was right at home within an hour. I was so happy! Bailey will be back soon!”
“Camille was awesome! She sent pictures everyday showing how Pepsi was doing, which I must say, he had a great time with her. She was super easy to work with, flexible and understanding. I strongly recommend Camille for her service. I’m confident that once you work with her, you will become a permanent customer to her. Thank you for your great service, Camille!”
“Sally was well cared for and had a great stay last weekend! My high energy lab had lots of play time and Elizabeth sent me many photos and updates. Highly recommend Elizabeth, thank you!!”
“Terry is a kind woman and knows her dogs! She takes care of rescue dogs, and our dogs Leo and Baby Girl, were fine when we picked them up. She walked them a lot, which is wonderful because I have a spinal condition which, prevents me from walking them as much as I would like to. She has a lovely daughter who helps her. She washed their crate blanket and pad cover before we picked them up. She is very responsible and goes the extra mile.”
“We LOVED Andreaa!! She was absolutely fantastic with our 9 month old lab puppy who boarded at her house for 7 days while we were on vacation. Andreaa was extremely communicative and sent videos, pictures and updates on our sweet pup everyday. Our puppy accidentally tore apart the dog bed in her crate one day and Andreaa went above and beyond to sew a patch on Ginger’s bed so we could still use it. I would definitely recommend Andreaa; she’s outstanding and our puppy was in great hands ?”
“Elizabeth was kind enough to board Sam for me which was awesome because my dog could in and out at his leisure which is an ideal set up. She also kept in touch with me on how he was doing.”
“Ashley and her partner were wonderful! This was our puppy’s first night away and they made both us and her feel immediately comfortable. They are knowledgeable about dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay. Even the kids were great and helped her get some energy out! Would absolutely book with them again.”
“Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!”
“Susan and her husband are great sitters. My dog can be a bit anxious and she loved being there. The have a big space, they are experienced dog sitters, and they send fantastic pictures.”
“Second time using Dawn. Jackson was super excited for his visit. She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates and pics on how his visit was going. Would definitely recommend.”
“THANKS ROVER FOR YOUR HELP!!! Riley was great! My Sheba Inu, Pickles really liked her! Riley sent me pictures of Pickles & I think she was smiling☺️ I have never left Pickles with anybody B4 & she’s definitely a mama‘s girl! Riley assured me they would have fun& I could tell Pickles definitely did! Plus she picked up and delivered Pickles form home & that made everything much easier! I would definitely use Riley again!”
“Super appreciate Alexandra! She took great care of our cat while we were away. Would 100% trust my animals with her again. Could tell how loved my cat was during the time we were gone! Received lots of updates.”
“Laura is great with my dog Banksy. He arrives and leaves with a smile. I always know he is safe with her and he enjoys the freedom to play in her backyard and pal around with her dog. She is always very affectionate towards him. We love Laura!”
“I would 100% ask for Travis and Christy to watch my dogs again. They watched them for over a week and I could immediately tell that they were being well cared for and cared about. They sent picture updates and messages to fill us in and were always quick with communication. They also have a wonderful backyard that the dogs loved. You won’t regret having Travis and Christy watch your pups!”
“Nathan did a phenomenal job with our dog Moose. He was attentive, patient, and met us for a meet and greet which helped out a ton. He was very easy to work with, flexible, and thorough. We would definitely book a stay with Nathan again.”
“Grace took such good care of Macy for a long weekend! I got picture updates throughout her stay and she looked very happy the whole time. Looked like lots of walks and playtime”
