“Amazing as always! Communicates well, easy to schedule pick up and drop offs with. This was our second time using them and have a third on the books! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“Elaine and Steven took wonderful care of our hyper Goldendoodle, no easy assignment given his energy levels. He came back to us better behaved, calmer, and better socialized. Elaine and Steven also took time to update us with photos and reports of our dog’s state of being. They have a wonderful, large property, with lots of room for dogs to explore. Thanks to Elaine and Steven, our dog had a better vacation than we did. I cannot recommend Elaine and Steven more enthusiastically.”
“Wonderful dogsitter with a great backyard setup in Chesterfield! Dylan looked after our dog for a few days over Labor Day weekend. Our dog loved the fenced-in backyard (with stair/balcony overlook) and sleeping in the nice air-conditioned living space. Dylan provided daily pictures and updates which put us at ease while traveling. He’s rated highly with a good number of recurring customers for a good reason! Ill be seeking him out to watch our dog again next time we travel.”
“Kayce was wonderful! My good boy, Twix, needs a lot of play and attention. The boarding was only for three days, but I was still worried. Kayce made those worries vanish after the meet and greet. She was super understanding, very attentive, and gave Twix all the attention and care he needed. She was very thorough in going over what he needed and sent me regular updates on how he was doing. I can't recommend her more.”
“Abby was great! I appreciate that she took the time to meet my boy before his stay to ensure that all the 4 legged friends would be suitable together. I asked for lots of pictures and videos and she delivered. It's difficult being away from my boy so getting constant updates was a huge plus!”
“It is an oasis for any dog, plenty of attention, play, great yard, and large house. They have thought of everything and gave my shy dog the perfect place to be herself and blossom. Super nice communication too!”
“Kendra did amazing Niko!! She let us know how he did every single day with a detailed explanation which made me feel super comfortable. She kept my mind at ease. Will forever be going to Kendra ❤️”
“Damacia was excellent to work with. We met her a few days before we left on vacation. Very clean and well behaved other pups. Nice environment for our younger pup. She updated us through the time Maggie spent there and was great about meeting us to pick her up. We would highly recommend Damacia for your pet sitting needs!”
“Marvin was an amazing sitter for Kuna! He kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Kuna was well cared for and happy, and it was clear he was comfortable the entire time. I truly appreciated the communication and attention Marvin provided. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Miranda was so communicative with every step of the process. She kept me updated daily with McCoy's 9 day stay with her and her wonderful family. She even answered questions afterwards and I'll happily rebook with her next time I travel.”
“Julie took great care of my dog Dakota while I was gone. Dakota can have some separation anxiety at first, but Julie and her pups helped her feel comfortable and home during her stay. I would definitely use Julie again to watch Dakota. She retuned to me happy and healthy. Thank you Julie for taking such good care of my best girl!”
“Gulmira was so great with our shy girl Sophie! She sent plenty of updates and was very communicative, helping us feel very comfortable leaving Sophie there for the first time! It’s clear Sophie was loved so much while she was there too and she was also exercised very well, got plenty of walks and time to explore, and made some doggy friends along the way. We are so pleased with the stay and could not recommend Gulmira more! She’s definitely a great choice if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and is kind and patient with animals.”
“Absolutely great family taking care of Monty not just as my dog but as their own. Monty was such a happy boy when I picked him up. He says he wants to go back one day soon again. Such a beautiful family affair that made my travel so much easier knowing he s in such good hands including their super sweet and beautiful dog. Thank you so much”
“Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾”
“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”

“Best sitter of all I have had. She followed instructions to perfection, constantly updated me and let me know if there were any issues with the cats. If you are going out of town this is who you should hire. I won’t be booking anyone else 🙂”
“Kelsey is an awesome pet sitter! She had great communication and shared lots of pictures of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I came home to 2 happy cats and have already booked Kelsey to help me again!”
About: I have been around cats for over 28 years and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Growing up and living with cats throughout my life has taught me how to understand feline behavior, provide a calm and safe environment, and recognize their individual needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong experience has made me dependable, attentive, and passionate about providing loving care for every cat I look after.
“Darnell is the absolute best. Has been great with my cat and sends tons of photos, including pictures of litter, food, and water so you feel extra reassured your pet is well taken care of.”
“Kayce has been an amazing! She is the most prompt sitter! She immediately responds and goes above and beyond with communication. She sends updates and gives detailed responses. She took my request to watch my 3 cats on short notice and during the holidays. She was even willing to check on the cats more often because she thought it would make them more comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Kayce enough.”
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”
“Peyton was Great!! She made time to stop by in advance tomake sure me and Bentley were comfortable with her. It nice to walk her through the steps needed. She was very accommodating and super sweet. Very good communication and no issues. Bentley loved her and we'll definitely use Peyton again in the future.”
About: Hello: I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs, developed through years of personal experience as a dedicated pet owner since childhood. Growing up with pets instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness to animal well-being. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I am also a nurse, which strengthens my ability to provide informed, detail-oriented, and safety-focused care. I am deeply committed to caring for dogs both holistically and medically, taking a balanced approach that supports their physical health, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life. I value preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural wellness practices, while fully understanding the importance of routine veterinary care, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring. My healthcare background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition, administer care responsibly, and prioritize safety at all times. I take pride in providing patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, ensuring every dog feels safe, healthy, and genuinely loved. I hope you & your fur baby are doing well. I am available Mondays- Sundays for drop in visits. I’m available Mondays-Sundays for boarding at my home. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every aspect of pet care, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and builds trust with both pets and their families. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly as given. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, monitor behavior and health closely, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly and responsibly. I am experienced in both holistic and medical care, including administering medications as directed, monitoring health changes, supporting proper nutrition, and providing gentle, natural wellness practices when appropriate. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: As a lifelong cat lover and the current proud owner of two indoor cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep your feline friends happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Cats can be sensitive to change, and my experience allows me to respect their boundaries while ensuring they get the care they need, whether they are social or independent. I am highly adept at the essential, hands-on aspects of cat care, including scooping litter, cleaning up unexpected messes, and successfully administering oral pills or other medications without causing extra stress. I am available for daily drop-in visits to refresh food and water, clean the litter box, and provide plenty of play and affection so you can travel with total peace of mind.
About: I currently own a 2YO cat whom Ive learned so much from. Knowing their needs and wants has become number one priority to me so they can live the best life they well deserve. I am experienced with showing love, care and compassion.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!
About: I’ve been in the veterinary field for 3 years and I’m going to school to be a technician! I love helping animals and their owners. I’m currently working full time but can come over during lunch breaks and play with your animals or even go for a walk or play fetch! I can stay at your house or do walks a few times and day as well as feeding and giving medication if needed. I like playing with animals and making sure they’re having as much fun as possible while you’re away!
“Brandie was so phenomenal with our boys that we booked her again. And for a second time, she did an excellent job giving our cats attention, making sure they were fed, and healthy. She’s also very kind, responsive, and so good with animals. Thanks again!”
“We are so happy to have found Haily! She provided marvelous care of our 3 cats and special needs dog, going over and above what we requested. We received photos, videos and updates daily. She is a true professional and we will definitely be using Haily again!”

“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”
“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”
“It was my first time using the Rover app and first time for my puppy in a sitter. Kayce and her family was amazing!!! They take good care of Max while me and my kid's are away. Max had a blast during his stay, able to socialized with other dogs and kid's. I would definitely use Kayce again in the future. I would highly recommend her.”
“Griff loves G! She gives him lots of attention, affection, and always makes him feel part of the family. Griff really appreciates the sniffing adventures she plans for him. Thanks G for providing my pup with great care and love!”
“Adam and Beau is a match made in heaven! Beau apparently played it cool during his visit; he had “checked out” Adam’s home on our initial visit and settled in pretty easily during his longer stay.”
“Our doggies had a very fun day! I’m so glad they were in such good hands and I loved all the pictures throughout the day. It was the best first time experience for daycare for the dogs and us as well. Happy dogs happy life.”
“Absolutely phenomenal. I really think my pup became part of the home. Every morning I dropped him off, he took off running to see Christopher. For a pup with some separation anxiety to be EXCITED to leave me, you just know he was taken care of. Definitely recommend”
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”

About: Lifelong Pet Lover with Years of Experience Hi, I’ve been around pets my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I started walking and feeding my family dogs at just 7 years old, twice a day, making sure they had plenty of playtime and fresh air in our grassy yard. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with potty training and establishing healthy routines for any breed. Since I was 15, I’ve also cared for cats, both my family’s and my friends’. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they stay off surfaces where they might break or damage anything, all while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or responsible in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday drop-in, or overnight stay, I’m available and committed to working around your needs. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked, they’ll have my full attention and care. Comfortable, Spacious, and Pet-Friendly Home Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a large backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and relax. While the yard is not fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and secure. If you use training tools like an e-collar and provide them, I’m happy to use them responsibly and only according to your guidance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like family.

“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”
“Jeanette was great! She was able to accommodate Romeo in a very short time frame, and had to wake up early for the drop off. She kept me updated and Romeo loved her! Overall great experience.”

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!
About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.
About: Very loving and passionate about fur babies! We own a personal farm whom we take love and compassion to care for them! I have experience with home pets along with outside pets. i am a very active women who can keep up with any active pet. Looking forward to meeting new lovely fur babies! Available during the day, Monday through Friday. Can do some evenings and will also be available weekends depending on times client want the service done. Prefer to care in clients home, although could do at my house. We do own some land where they could roam while potty but as stated before, prefer to go in clients home.
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.

“Sophia was wonderful. I was in town for a week for work and needed someone to walk my dog during the days. She met us at the hotel the evening that we checked in to give my pup a chance to get used to her. She came each day, was very responsive, took great care of the dog, and sent plenty of updates about each walk.”
About: I've had various pets my entire life and been pet sitting/walking for over 25 years! I have experience with any species from hamsters, lizards, and bunnies, to cats and dogs, as well as livestock! My family raises and competes with oxen in the Northeast, and until recently moving south I cared for large animals (horses, cattle, goats, etc) as a side gig as well. There isn't an animal out there that I'm unwilling to work with! I love to care for and work with dogs. I'm happy to do regularly scheduled walks/hikes, or help out as needed. I don't have any official training certification but I do have a background in behavior analysis that has proven helpful when working with and training pets and farm animals. I'm available weekdays mostly during the day but have plenty of flexibility overall. Also available most weekends! Message me with your needs and I can check my schedule for availability. I have a German Shepherd and a Staffordshire Terrier. Although they love to play, due to their size and intensity of play, I'm not doing any care in my home at this time. If I establish a relationship with a client and know their pet well enough to know if it's a good fit, we can discuss the possibility of care in my home. I am willing to do care for small animals in cages in my home (hamster, bearded dragon, etc) In a client's home, I will follow whatever individual preferences they have!
About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.
About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.
About: I am a dog lover!! I have always had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember. I've had experience with many different breeds and know that they are all different but all of them give you many reasons to love them. I believe that dogs are not just pets but also members of your family. I've raised and trained dogs from pekingnese to bully breeds. This is a perfect experience to enjoy many breeds and introduce my child to many breeds and continue to fulfill my love for dogs while encouraging hers. I look forward to being your pets best friend while you're away. I can ensure you that they will love their time with me and you will be sorry free.
About: I walk an Jog everyday. I love dogs a puppies and cats! I also have 3 pet rabbits so if you have a rabbit I can take care of it as well. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats. 2 of my dogs are pure breed German shepherds and 1 is a Golden Shepherd so I’m not scared of big dogs!! I can do any drop in visit for cats or dogs or walks I’m a stay at home mom. My time is pretty free daily. I’m available for any drop in visit or daily walks. I also did Certified nursing my junior year of high school at a vocational school. I will follow all care instructions for the clients house and everything they tell me for the care of the pets they have so they know it’s right.
“Emma was punctual was super friendly and patient with Jax who decided that he did not want to walk lol! She was also flexible and accommodating to make the best of the visit. I will definitely book services again.”

“Amazing as always! Communicates well, easy to schedule pick up and drop offs with. This was our second time using them and have a third on the books! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“Elaine and Steven took wonderful care of our hyper Goldendoodle, no easy assignment given his energy levels. He came back to us better behaved, calmer, and better socialized. Elaine and Steven also took time to update us with photos and reports of our dog’s state of being. They have a wonderful, large property, with lots of room for dogs to explore. Thanks to Elaine and Steven, our dog had a better vacation than we did. I cannot recommend Elaine and Steven more enthusiastically.”
“Wonderful dogsitter with a great backyard setup in Chesterfield! Dylan looked after our dog for a few days over Labor Day weekend. Our dog loved the fenced-in backyard (with stair/balcony overlook) and sleeping in the nice air-conditioned living space. Dylan provided daily pictures and updates which put us at ease while traveling. He’s rated highly with a good number of recurring customers for a good reason! Ill be seeking him out to watch our dog again next time we travel.”
“Kayce was wonderful! My good boy, Twix, needs a lot of play and attention. The boarding was only for three days, but I was still worried. Kayce made those worries vanish after the meet and greet. She was super understanding, very attentive, and gave Twix all the attention and care he needed. She was very thorough in going over what he needed and sent me regular updates on how he was doing. I can't recommend her more.”
“Abby was great! I appreciate that she took the time to meet my boy before his stay to ensure that all the 4 legged friends would be suitable together. I asked for lots of pictures and videos and she delivered. It's difficult being away from my boy so getting constant updates was a huge plus!”
“It is an oasis for any dog, plenty of attention, play, great yard, and large house. They have thought of everything and gave my shy dog the perfect place to be herself and blossom. Super nice communication too!”
“Marvin was an amazing sitter for Kuna! He kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Kuna was well cared for and happy, and it was clear he was comfortable the entire time. I truly appreciated the communication and attention Marvin provided. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Miranda was so communicative with every step of the process. She kept me updated daily with McCoy's 9 day stay with her and her wonderful family. She even answered questions afterwards and I'll happily rebook with her next time I travel.”
“Julie took great care of my dog Dakota while I was gone. Dakota can have some separation anxiety at first, but Julie and her pups helped her feel comfortable and home during her stay. I would definitely use Julie again to watch Dakota. She retuned to me happy and healthy. Thank you Julie for taking such good care of my best girl!”
“Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾”
“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”
“Cassandre and her family always treat our dogs so well. She provides updates and photos during their stay and they always come home happy. We highly recommend Cassandre!”
“Christina and her family were amazing with our skittish girl. She communicated every day with status updates and I felt her compassion in every message. She put our minds at ease which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the vacation. Will book her again for future boarding stays.”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
