“I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!”
“Deb and Ralph did a fantastic job with our two! They really went above and beyond to include putting on our dog’s favorite music to help them through a thunderstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Kathryn was fabulous! She was attentive to our pup, sent lots of pics of a very happy pooch and was quick responding to my texts! We will definitely be booking with her again!🤗”
“Joe was absolutely INCREDIBLE with our boy Lucas! He had the best weekend! He even got his nails trimmed for him! He took Luke to the dog park to play multiple times and Lilibet was the BEST pal to Luke all weekend. They played, laid with each other and just had the best time. We can’t recommend Joe and Lilibet enough! Book now!”
“Our experience with Ashley was awesome! She was very responsive and on top of our booking. Ashley sent us a photo & note to keep us updated. We came back to a very happy pup, who was clearly delighted with her boarding experience. We would not hesitate to book with Ashley again.”
“Nicole did an amazing job with our 2 pups. Great communication and responded quickly to our request, even on short notice. She sent pics with updates, which I greatly appreciated!”
“Excellent care. It was a sudden drop off, my dog was very happy. He was very excited with whole family. I got pictures almost every 1-2 hours. I felt so comfortable. Thank you”
“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”
“We had some unexpected complications during our time and Haley handled them with so much graciousness! She was great at communicating and being accommodating. My dog was absolutely the most comfortable she has been with any sitter. We are grateful for the personal care our dog received with Haley!”
“Tiffanie was beyond amazing! Her kindness and love of animals was evident during our first "meet and greet." Leaving my anxious GSD was a concern, but Tiffanie's confident and compassionate manner easily quelled any fears. Tiffanie updated me daily with pics and provided daily walks in the park with my fur baby! Most noteworthy, however, was my pooch had reemerging symptoms appear of a recent medical condition and Tiffanie handled it compassionately and without complaint! She was a true blessing to both me and my pooch! I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Montana was great! This was my pups first time away from the family and she did amazing. Our dog requires medication with each feeding, and Montana kept her on track. For her time being away, I was amazed at how at ease she was when I picked her up. No doubt this was due to all the love and comfort she received. Montana provided updates and sent photos which put my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up were smooth and easy. Will definitely use again!”
“Danielle and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my messages and was able to watch my doggo on very short notice. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, choose her!”
“Alyssa and Sean are by far one of the best Rover sitters we've ever had! They helped us out in a pinch and cared for Crumpet like he was their own. We felt so at ease knowing he was in good hands. We appreciated and loved all the picture updates. We will definitely ask them if they can pet sit again when the need pops up.”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Stina, even though she was a pain and went on a bit of a hunger strike. She communicated regularly and in great detail, and always answered questions quickly. She went above and beyond in her care for Stina. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Jani and Jack gave our dog Piper and true vacation while we were on vacation! Not sure our pup wanted to come home. She was very well taken care of and loved just like at home. She made new friends with the two pups that live at the house. Lots of walks and treats. We were all so happy with the experience. Piper will be going back to Jani next time we need a sitter.”
“Jo is a wonderful dog sitter! She cared for our shy rescue Cavalier Maggie who has some PTSD tendencies due to being raised in a puppymill overbreeding environment. Within minutes of arriving, Maggie was going to Jo and getting petted. Jo is attentive and caring. Nice home and fenced yard area. Maggie was well cared for by Jo and Kayla. Received daily pics and updates too. Definitely will hire Jo again and highly recommend her!”
“Our Siberian Husky loved staying with Cory! He got lots of walks and play time, and settled right in once we dropped him off. I also appreciated Cory’s regular updates and responsiveness”
“Caitlynn did a wonderful job with our little westie. Our dog has Addison’s Disease and Caitlynn was very attentive and provided excellent care. She even took the time to do some research online about the disease which was a testament to the care she showed our little guy. Caitlynn took our dog to a park regularly, provided frequent updates, and cared for him as if he were her own dog. It’s an easy thing to say that we will use Caitlynn again.”
“Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!”

“Amber was simply amazing taking care of our cat, Dorian! We were away for a little over a month and this was our first time hiring a pet sitter, so it was very important to us to find the right match. We feel so fortunate in finding Amber through Rover.com! She went above and beyond - she was always polite, caring, and responsive to all my/our questions and concerns. Also, she took good care of our property while we were away by bringing in deliveries, tending to two houseplants, and staying for a generous amount of time on each visit. Dorian seems happy and healthy, which is such a relief given we were gone so long and she is a senior cat. We are very grateful to Amber for her loving care for our fur-baby. When the need arises, we will definitely hire Amber to care for Dorian again! Our area is lucky to have her!”
“Analise is great at communication, follows instructions perfectly, and makes our cat feel very relaxed and special. I'm so glad she made time for us again. Thank you!”
“Hailey comes and checks on my 5 year old Lab a couple times a week. She always gives a good recap of the visit and enforces the manners I want from my dog. I will definitely keep rebooking with her!”
“Mary visited our cat for 2 days this past weekend and did a fantastic job updating us on how he was doing and on sending pictures! We had been very worried about leaving our cat home alone while he had feline influenza but Mary took great care of him and reassured us as his health improved each day. She was a blessing to our family and we will definitely hire her again in the future!!”
“Ashley is great! This was our first time leaving our kitten for a short weekend. She was patient and flexible with him, even when he was stubborn about where he wanted to eat. Thank you!”
About: I've always loved animals, from my first guinea pig at age 11 I was hooked! I have dog and cat sat in my neighborhood, and made friends with as many pets as I could. I'm not afraid to have fun with any dog big or small, and I'm more than open to bathing and grooming as well. I am also experienced in giving medication to pets who need it, mostly with pills but I've also learned how to do on skin treatment as well. I have taken care of everything ranging from snails and fish to birds and reptiles. I'm very passionate about giving all animals the affection and playtime they deserve. I would love to give your pets love and attention while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will be able to stop by any time, and take care of anything your pets need! I have experience keeping pets separate when need be as well as encouraging socializing! Whatever your needs are I can provide plenty of play and love!
“An excellent experience across the board: scheduling, reliability, friendliness, and most importantly Hannah made friends with one of my cats who never lets strangers approach her. I highly recommend her services.”
“Chloe took great care of our big, energetic labs. She provided regular updates and handled everything the dogs could throw at her. Terrific sitter and we will gladly have her back!”
“She was amazing. Tiggy loved her and she took such good care of her. And she took care of me by sending pictures and an update with each message!! Thank you so much.❣️❣️❣️”

“Another great week with Dana! Oakley loves playing with Red and her nephew. Oakley is also being socialized with cats which is a huge plus. Oakley is always happy to be dropped off and tired from all the fun when I pick him up.”
About: Lifelong dog owner with decades of experience caring for dogs both big and small. I work from home and am able to provide constant care and plenty of exercise. Boarders or daycare get at least 3 walks/day, dozens of photos, and lots of love of course! I provide toys, bowls, a dog bed, treats, poop bags and a backup leash. A tired dog is a good dog :) feel free to bring your pet’s crate if you’d like! I grew up with border collies and labs, then rescued my own dogs in adulthood. One of my rescues was a very sick 3-month old puppy that I raised, so I am well-versed with puppy care. I do not currently have pets living in the home, so your dogs will have the run of the place! I own my own home on a quiet circle street. My yard is an expansive quarter acre of grass with access to miles of mowed walking paths off my backyard. When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on a “Welcome Walk” to get acquainted in neutral outdoor space. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! I work from home, so I am flexible for drop-ins, last-minute needs, or regular walks, and can give your dog consistent companionship…and some fun of course! Rain or shine, I am happy to take them out. I provide a treats (if allowed), a dog bed, bowls, toys and backup leash (but I prefer you bring the leash your dog is familiar with!). Please feel free to bring a crate if you’d like to crate your dog! When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on “Welcome Walk” where we get acquainted in the great outdoors. This allows me to build our bond in neutral space with plenty of positive stimulation for the dogs. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I have used the clicker training method in the past, and do not believe in any form of domineering or physical correction. Your dog will have a stable experience here!

“We dropped Oliver off while we stopped and explored Staunton on a road trip, Sam was super flexible and kind. I felt comfortable leaving him there and would 100% book again if we’re in the area!”
“We were so excited to have Jack with Arie and Leigh as one of our first tries with day care as they are so experienced with dogs in general but especially labs. All went very well, great communication and what a wonderful family and property for Jack to play and even had a furry friend! Will plan to use them again and very much recommend.”
“Madison took great care of my skittish fearful rescue beagle! Her dog was also great company for mine. I’m so happy to have found a great sitter. We’ll be booking again with Madison soon!”
“Margaret was the perfect sitter for our little dog, Hattie. From the moment that we arrived to drop off Hattie, Margaret met us with a warm smile and put us right at ease that Hattie will be well taken care of. Margaret updated us with pictures over the afternoon, and when we came to pick up, Hattie was was in a great, happy mood. We have no complaints with the experience, and would gladly leave Hattie with Margaret again.”

“Jani and Paul are amazing sitters for my dog, Lucky! 🐾 I always pick him up from their home and he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. They’re so reliable and thorough and always fill out his report card right away, so I know exactly how his stay went. I really appreciate the care and attention they give him. Highly recommend!”

“We truly appreciate Brandy! We booked very last minute with brandy. Being on vacation we brought our epileptic pup and he wasn’t coping well in a new place being alone. So we downloaded this app for the first time and booked with her while we went out. She responded when I checked on him, and sent me pictures of him while he was with her. We are even booked an extra day with her while we were here because he did so well in her care! Thank you Brandy !!”
“Came from out of town for a wedding and found out last minute that our dog could not attend. Cory responded immediately to our last minute request for doggy day care. If not for Cory we would have missed the wedding. He was very friendly and took wonderful care of our Harley, who is very high energy. Cory put my nerves at ease with updates and pics throughout the day. I highly recommend Cory for your pet care needs. Thank you again Cory!”
“Amy was wonderful with my Mads. She provided her with plenty of exercise and cuddling. She sent me lots of photos and videos which was wonderful to have. Very much recommend.”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since birth and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm happy to care for your dog's general wellbeing, as well as to spoil them in your absence! I am a work-from-home High School teacher, so I am available 24/7 to spoil your dog! We have an invisible fence and an extra receiver for those who prefer their dog can run around. If you prefer, I can also leash your dog for backyard adventures. We love hiking and neighborhood walks, which I can schedule for your pet, per your preferences. I have 2 dogs, who can be separated from yours, as needed. I have .5 acres, surrounded by an invisible fence with an extra receiver, but can also leash your dog, if you prefer. Leashes are used on all walks and a doggie seat belt will be used in the event that we need to travel by car.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.

About: My approach matches the energy of the animal and meets them on a level they’re ready for. I have specifically spent most of my time taking care of and learning more about cats. I’ve had animals my entire life, and have petsat for several years now! Safety and trust with your animal is my primary concern. Animals are integral to my life and always have been. I wake up and go to bed with my cat, and the dogs fits into my every day. Whether I’m physically there or thinking of them, their health and happiness means the most to me. Currently, my schedule is very open, especially during the weekdays! I listen to what they’re telling me. I focus on safety, patience, and trust in building a relationship, and I’m happy to start that at whatever distance or level they want to.
About: Hello! My name is Hailey, and I am looking forward to serving you and your fuzzy family members! I am a lifelong pet lover, growing up with at least one dog in my family home at all times. I have experience dog sitting (both in-home and drop-in) over a number of years. I have cared for many breeds ranging from French bulldogs to golden retrievers to mutts. I have experience caring for dogs of varying temperaments and training levels, as well as puppies, aging dogs, and dogs with chronic illnesses. I am patient and attuned to the needs of every dog I interact with ensuring that I respect their boundaries and make them as comfortable as possible. Lastly, I will shower them in attention and love! I am currently working part-time on a very flexible schedule, enabling me to complete drop-in visits throughout the day. I am available throughout the week, including on weekends. I have had dogs that both need to be leashed and that are able to be let outside off of a leash. I am able to crate pets if needed. I ensure that water is available at all times and that food is provided per the owners designated feeding schedule. Most importantly, I am willing and able to provide care as the owner would for their own pet.
“Amber is so attentive to Jasmine’s needs and her calm demeanor is perfect for this rescue dog. Jasmine loves Amber’s dog, Cosmo, so it is double fun for her when Amber comes for a walk.”
“Ripley underwent some big life changes recently. right after i started up a new job with a long commute, she lost her best (dog) buddy, who she was used to spending her days with. all of this meant Ripley was going to be spending 12+ hour days all alone. But then we met Dana, our Rover dog-walker! Now Ripley gets 30-minute adventures 2-3x a week, complete with photo updates and little synopsis of what went down on the walk. Getting the Rover notification, “Ripley’s been picked up for her walk!” is the highlight of my day. She’s in amazing hands, and I’m one grateful, teary-eyed dog mom. This looks and sounds like a Rover ad, but i’m not getting paid for it. I do highly highly recommend Dana - she is in Staunton. If you’re thinking, “my dog isn’t easy- she can’t be walked by just anyone” - that is exactly what i thought. Dana brings her husband on walks, and he can help manage the strength of a giant breed, (Ripley weighs over 100lbs) Also, if you think that your dog is too skittish to be walked by anyone other than you, I thought the same thing. Dana and her husband weren’t afraid of Ripley’s initial reaction to them. They stuck around for about an hour to wait for her to calm down and they gained her trust. They even introduced Ripley to their kids.”
“Thank you much for your services, Mary!!? For going above and beyond what was asked!!! Hopefully you will not mind taking care of Jordi!!!!? He was a handful but he was also in great hands!!!! Thanks again!!!!”
About: I have done pet sitting for many years, I have worked with multiple different types of animals many times. I love animals, can handle stressful situations, and know how to make responsable decisions regarding your home and beloved animals. I also will communicate effectively and be timely in my care of your pet. I work a job that has a flexible schedule, I do not have any prior commitments on weekends and any pet sitting jobs I book will become top priority. Pets should be treated with just as much respect as any person. Introducing yourself, acting calm and kindly, and also reading body cues and signs to make sure they remain comfortable at all times.

“Very fortunate to have Hannah taking care of my little fur ball. Was a little nervous trusting someone but she was fantastic in the transition process. Very appreciative of the prompt replies to all my questions and concerns.”
About: As a child, my family had 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a parakeet. Throughout the years of my childhood, the amount of dogs and cats would go up and down with natural fluctuation from age. During middle school, my family began adding horses to the mix of the family. From middle school into high school, I participated weekly in rodeo competitions with my family and friends. When I was in high school, the parakeet passed from old age. The summer before my freshman year in high school we started acquiring more animals than just the horses we rode, and the pets we took care of. I actively worked with my older sister as she showed sheep, rabbits, and chickens in high school FFA. Throughout my higher education experience I have continued to own cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I have lived with and befriended people who own a variety of reptiles such as pythons, scorpions, lizards, and others. The farm has less types of animals occupying now due to natural causes, but I still maintain a strong love for all spirits out in the pasture and home. I have worked many years at various animal focused businesses such as Tractor Supply and PetCo where I have assisted people with understanding their animal(s) needs and taking care of a multitude of different animals, too. I have pretty flexible availability to administer animal care throughout the week. Easily available between 8AM - 8PM. Can provide care outside of those hours, but within reason and will gladly work with clients and animals as needed. I love to spend time with animals in my care. I am not a drop in and drop out person. I will spend at least the amount of time you request, if not more, with your pet(s) to provide attention, love, exercise, and meet their needs. I am an active participant during outside potty/play time and prefer to follow all rules already in place by family. You will receive a detailed note of all that occurs as well as multiple photos of your animal throughout my stay, unless otherwise specified by yourself.
About: I've grown up with animals my entire life beginning with Mr. Blue the Himalayan Cat and Kahlua the Black Lab and all of the animals I've loved, worked with, and now become mama to in my adult life. I feel most at ease when I am around animals and consider it an honor to have the opportunity to love them as my own. Regardless of whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stint. I can most often be found at home. Between kids, fur babies (both mine and others’) I stay pretty busy. I have a Golden Retriever who just turned 7 (though you’d never know he wasn’t still a pup) to play with and keep your baby company. There's space in my home to separate if anyone needs a break and I can easily crate if needed or desired. *Crating is for safety and comfort only, I do not use crating as as discipline. I work from home so there is plenty of room in my schedule for playtime, walks, pet-friendly outings and adventures, cuddles, feeds and/or any other specialized care your friend might require. I have an unfenced yard so any outside play will be leashed or in an enclosure. For additional safety, I keep a few dog crates on hand. They are available for pups that are crate trained, in case I need to separate, or even personal preference! Dogs are den animals so when used correctly, some of them (like ours!) love having a cozy space to relax. *Please note, I never use crates as “punishment” in our home, nor do I believe in or practice discipline of animals. I care for and love every animal the way I’d want my sweet boy loved and cared for.
About: My family has had pets all my life, and I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13. I have experience with pets with special health needs as well as those with busy grooming schedules. I adore both cats and dogs and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m a grad student from Virginia with a love for animals! Most of my classes finish in the afternoon, so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I am confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, and am more than happy to follow any special instructions you need me to. I can easily crate your pets as well give them medicine and stick to feeding schedules. I also love to spend time with your pets outside by going on walks and playing in the yard.
“Jaime was wonderful with Sophie and a pleasure to work with! She found a way to make things work that had at first looked like they might be a stumbling block logistically, and she made Sophie’s walk fun despite the great heat. We all look forward to our next adventures with Jaime!”
About: I went to school for 2 years to become a veterinary assistant, work 4 days a week and love what I do and enjoy being around animals in my spare time :) I enjoy drawing and painting in my free time and consider myself a care free individual. I have a dog of my own, a 7 year old beagle mix named Jaxx. Very outgoing and loves to play but what do you expect with a pup? Besides painting and working I enjoy watching my favorite show (Greys Anatomy or The Office) and laying back listening to music. I hope this answers most of your questions about me and I hope you take the chance to message me about taking care of your pet :) you won’t regret it! LoveHas4Paws :) I am mostly flexible with my job to fit your needs of pet sitting aside from starting school in December one day a week mostly. I come to the clients home to make the fur baby feel less stressed and relaxed since they are in their own home and give them all the love (and treats) lol
About: With over 50 years of pet ownership and caretaking experience as a foster through Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond, I would treat your furry friends as my own. I’ve had both dogs and cats and am comfortable administering medications and working with pets of all ages. As a retiree with no pets of my own at the moment, it’d be a great joy to take care of yours. I’m fully retired so I have plenty of time available to devote to the care and well-being of your pets. I’m happy to do scheduled drop-in visits during the day or overnights if needed throughout Augusta County. As a former foster parent, I have worked with dogs of varying comfort levels and special needs. I would take care of your pets with the same level of care and support as my own. I’m just as happy to go on a nice walk as I am to be a couch potato - whatever your pet needs, I’m here for them.
“Destiny did very well with my boys and was patient with Marco since he needs some extra TLC due to his past. She has always been punctual and good about giving me updates and keeping me informed. My boys will see her again. She's great!”

“I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!”
“Deb and Ralph did a fantastic job with our two! They really went above and beyond to include putting on our dog’s favorite music to help them through a thunderstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Joe was absolutely INCREDIBLE with our boy Lucas! He had the best weekend! He even got his nails trimmed for him! He took Luke to the dog park to play multiple times and Lilibet was the BEST pal to Luke all weekend. They played, laid with each other and just had the best time. We can’t recommend Joe and Lilibet enough! Book now!”
“Nicole did an amazing job with our 2 pups. Great communication and responded quickly to our request, even on short notice. She sent pics with updates, which I greatly appreciated!”
“Excellent care. It was a sudden drop off, my dog was very happy. He was very excited with whole family. I got pictures almost every 1-2 hours. I felt so comfortable. Thank you”
“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”
“We had some unexpected complications during our time and Haley handled them with so much graciousness! She was great at communicating and being accommodating. My dog was absolutely the most comfortable she has been with any sitter. We are grateful for the personal care our dog received with Haley!”
“Tiffanie was beyond amazing! Her kindness and love of animals was evident during our first "meet and greet." Leaving my anxious GSD was a concern, but Tiffanie's confident and compassionate manner easily quelled any fears. Tiffanie updated me daily with pics and provided daily walks in the park with my fur baby! Most noteworthy, however, was my pooch had reemerging symptoms appear of a recent medical condition and Tiffanie handled it compassionately and without complaint! She was a true blessing to both me and my pooch! I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Montana was great! This was my pups first time away from the family and she did amazing. Our dog requires medication with each feeding, and Montana kept her on track. For her time being away, I was amazed at how at ease she was when I picked her up. No doubt this was due to all the love and comfort she received. Montana provided updates and sent photos which put my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up were smooth and easy. Will definitely use again!”
“Danielle and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my messages and was able to watch my doggo on very short notice. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, choose her!”
“Alyssa and Sean are by far one of the best Rover sitters we've ever had! They helped us out in a pinch and cared for Crumpet like he was their own. We felt so at ease knowing he was in good hands. We appreciated and loved all the picture updates. We will definitely ask them if they can pet sit again when the need pops up.”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Stina, even though she was a pain and went on a bit of a hunger strike. She communicated regularly and in great detail, and always answered questions quickly. She went above and beyond in her care for Stina. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Our Siberian Husky loved staying with Cory! He got lots of walks and play time, and settled right in once we dropped him off. I also appreciated Cory’s regular updates and responsiveness”
“Caitlynn did a wonderful job with our little westie. Our dog has Addison’s Disease and Caitlynn was very attentive and provided excellent care. She even took the time to do some research online about the disease which was a testament to the care she showed our little guy. Caitlynn took our dog to a park regularly, provided frequent updates, and cared for him as if he were her own dog. It’s an easy thing to say that we will use Caitlynn again.”
“Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!”
“Highly recommend Brandy and her family they are Great! It’s an awesome feeling to know that my fur babies are being taken care of and loved while I am away. Brandy sends pictures and chats to let me know that my fur babies are having fun too. Thanks Brandy for everything!”
“Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”
