“Savannah is the kindest soul and took care of our dog as if they were her own. She was quick to reply for updates and was attentive to Murphys active breed (walks & enrichment). Savanahh will be our go to while in Vermont!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”
“My dog LOVED them ! My dog is used to be around other dog and people but now it’s just me and her, to be back in an environment where there is a family and other dog, it was like a vacancy camp for her Also Pamela was really sharp, she sent me pictures, video and text to keep me updated I will definitively use her service again 😇”
“Thank you Linda. You were great with Toby. I could tell after 6 full days with you Your communication is always prompt and clear. Your photos update are perfect and appreciated. I would highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog. Thank you again Linda.”
About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux depuis ma jeunesse. Je suis toujours attentive à leurs besoin et je ne manque jamais un détail. Ce qui est ma grande force avec les animaux. Pendant quelques années j’ai travaillé dans le grand nord, j’ai fondé ma petite organization pour sauver des chiens nordiques à Kuujjuaq,Quebec. Je m’occupais de trouver des familles et de leurs donner des soins. Je sais m’adapter aux races diverses et leurs tempéraments qui sont toujours unique. I am a very passionnate and caring person with animals since I am a kid. I had all kind of animals in my life: dogs small and large, cats, parrots, budgies rabbits and fish. I have been rescuing homeless puppies and dogs while working in the arctic between 1999 and 2002. I understand dogs behavior and I know a lot about pet first aid and different diseases and symptoms. I have a very calming energy with pets, I understand them and make sure they are always comfortable. I live in the Montérégie area, about 35 min drive from Montreal . I have a detach house with a large yard as well and a finish basement for more space to play when there is bad weather:) There is a lot of space and I have access to great parks and hiking paths nearby at all time:) Je travaille de la maison à temps partiel, j’ai beaucoup de flexibilité et disponibilité. Je veux éventuellement seulement m’occuper d’animaux de compagnie dans le futur. J’ai une grande cour clôturée, il y a beaucoup d’espace pour jouer et aussi je suis tout près de nombreux parcs pour prendre de longues marches en toute sécurité. Mon travail étant flexible, je peux en tout temps me libérer pour accommoder les besoins de chaques chiens, repas, pause dehors, médicaments, je marche beaucoup, souvent je vais en voiture dans des endroits spécifiques pour plus de tranquilté. J’ai une cour gazonnée intime et sécurisée, beaucoup d’espace pour les jeux ou simplement prendre une sieste au soleil sur notre balcon. L’hiver je fais des petits sentiers dans la neige.
About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid-friendly if sitting happens in my home. Good with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once, and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children (I have two dog-loving kids under age 5). I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids) I've always loved my pets as members of the family! I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We don't currently have any pets in our home. Our dogs were allowed on the couch, bed, anywhere, and I was usually curled right up with them, but I of course plan to follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday and it gives me the flexibility to take breaks when needed to be present for your animals in your absence. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.
“I seldom leave my dog behind when traveling, but it was SO great knowing that he was safe and happy staying at Michele’s place. She sent pictures and daily updates so that I knew my pup was okay. It was also very clear that he got his far share of exercise, he slept all day!! Thanks again !!”
About: Hi! I'm Cinara! 👋 I’m an experienced caregiver with a deep love for animals. I have had the honor to care for pets across the lifespan having grown up with many furry, feathery-even scaley-companions. Its been a great joy as well to be a person who impacts animal lives via rescue/rehabilitation and, most recently through fostering at-risk cats. I feel confident in my ability to provide a therapeutic alliance built on patience and understanding with vulnerable animals. I have hands-on training experience and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands and routines in dogs and cats. I always tailor my visit with the specific needs of the pet, and of the caregiver. On walks- allowing an animal to engage each of their senses is the main goal of a walk, to me its all about enrichment. I let animals lead the way while also paying close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can better respond to their needs.I'm confident administering oral medications, managing specific diets, and maintaining steady routines to help minimize stress while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I build my schedule around giving animals the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’m flexible and committed to showing up consistently for the pets I care for. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to keep things comfortable and familiar for them. Let's talk! I take safety and comfort seriously. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I make sure your pet feels secure by keeping things consistent and calm. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and house rules. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority.
About: Ayant moi-même un pomsky avec beaucoup d’énergie, j’adore marcher avec elle plusieurs fois par jour. Je garde souvent les chiens de mes amis, et j’adore les chiens et la nature. J’ai un horaire flexible alors il me ferait plaisir d’aller faire marcher votre chien, avec ou sans mon chien dépendamment de ce que vous préférez :) Je peux venir à votre domicile pour venir promener votre chien, et même l’amener à la montagne si vous voulez. Nous pouvons se rencontrer au préalable pour planifier le tout :)

“Jennifer is by far my favorite sitter I’ve booked! She went above and beyond while taking care of my sweet dog Cooper while I was away for Christmas. I would recommend her to anyone :)”

I have also handled dogs from mild manner to dogs with bigger personalities. Schedules are set daily/weekly/monthly depending on the needs. I offer pet care, pee/exercise breaks to pet sitting so will work with each need that arises to best support the dog and their owners. I do not offer pet care in my home. I will gladly communicate with the owner to accommodate the needs of your pet while taking care of them for you.
“We were very happy to have Jaime take care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is always slow to warm up to strangers and Jaime clearly went out of her way to be friend. We really appreciated the photos and informative report.”
“I recently hired Jess to take care of my Tommy while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Jess was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. During our meet-and-greet, Jess took the time to understand my pet’s routine and needs, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, my Tommy was happy and well-cared for, which is the best indicator of a great pet sitter. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry family members!”

“Chelsea has been an absolute godsend for our family. She has been watching our dog, Mouse, for over a year at this point. She has made dog care simple and stress free. Her availability is excellent, her communication is great, and she has never turned down a request to watch our pup. My wife and I have crazy schedules for work, so Chelsea has been incredibly flexible and accommodating. Our dog loves her, and we will continue to utilize her services for as long as she offers them”
“Una persona muy amable, sonriente y atenta. Muy fácil la comunicación, la disponibilidad. Incluso nos vimos antes para ver si mi perro se entendía bien con ella y con su perro. Todo estuvo de maravilla.”
About: I have always been around dogs and other pets since I was a baby, and have always loved and cherished them. As an adult we have raised and taken care of three cats and dogs. While in the military for 10 years, I was responsible for taking care of many other pets, especially dogs, for other service members while they traveled or deployed. My dog Nigel and I tend to make fast friends with any other dogs we meet! I recently got out of the military, and moved back home to Vermont. I am currently not working, and will be working on online college courses from home for the foreseeable future. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule, and can make all the time necessary to keep any pets entertained and well taken care of! I have a very sweet four year old male English Cream Golden Retriever, named Nigel, who loves friends more than anything (other than treats) and will be my permanent doggie daycare assistant. We have a large 2.5 acre property that is partially fenced, with large yard space to run in, and wooded nature trails in the back for walks and lots of sniffs. We are also about 5 minutes away from a beautiful dog park and miles of nature trails that we try to go to every day.

“Even though Dolores is a timid dog, Jackie always makes her feel right at home! He always sends lots of photos and videos throughout the day and Dolores comes home happy :) as always, thanks Jackie!!”
“Michele is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. I have always felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. He gets lots of time outside and joins them on walks when appropriate. I recommend her highly to anyone looking!”
“Our 6 year old GSD, Flynn, has been with Chad since he was 4 months old. Up until a few months ago in a doggie day care, and now spending 2 days a week with him in a more 1:1 setting. Chad's calm, nurturing demeanor and unwavering patience and consistency with our often anxious and always energetic guy makes such a huge different for our family. Flynn's 2 days a week with Chad mean that he is a calmer, happier, less anxious dog at home. All of this being said, I think the biggest recommendation that we could give would be that whether it was at day care drop off or Chad pulling into our driveway for a visit, Flynn can never get to Chad fast enough. For us- that says it all!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a toddler. I currently have an almost 1-year old big goofy catahoula leopard/pitbull mix. I routinely dog sit for extended family and I have fostered for a local dog rescue. One of my favorite activities is taking a dog for a nice neighborhood walk or an active hike. If your dog comes here for a stay, they are treated as a member of the family. They’re welcome to lounge on the couch and we even love to bring them on outings with us if your dog would enjoy it. I’m a full time mom so I have a fairly flexible schedule for adding in dog walks. If your dog is ok with kiddos joining, I can be even more accommodating. I currently have a puppy who could accompany me on walks or drop-ins if you think your dog could benefit from seeing a play buddy. If not, I can do some quality 1:1 time with your pooch.

“Pete and Alex were so wonderful! They took great care of our 6-month-old puppy Juniper. She got lots of exercise with them and came home happy and tired! We would absolutely book with them again!”
“I highly recommend Katie! Very easygoing and I felt comfortable leaving my Chewbear with her. She was flexible with my time period and I did not feel rushed. If I had more energy I would have done more. Katie was very responsive to my texts and I even got a "report card" letting me know more about his time there. So nice to have peace of mind for your animal with severe separation anxiety. She is a godsend. Would definitely let Chewy visit again. Thank you Katie!”
About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!
“Brittany is wonderful! We left our pup Molly with her for a day and couldn’t be happier! Molly came back happy, tired and had a great time with Brittany and her pets, she sent us updates with photos and videos! Next time we would definitely reach out again. Thank you so much!”
About: Depuis mon plus jeune âge, les animaux ont toujours fait partie de ma vie. J'ai grandi entouré de chiens et de chats, développant un profond amour et un respect pour eux. J'ai toujours pris soin d'eux avec dévouement et affection. En tant qu'adulte, cette passion n'a fait que croître. J'ai eu la chance de partager ma vie avec divers animaux, établissant avec chacun d'eux un lien unique et spécial. On m'appelle souvent "Docteur Dolittle", car j'ai une capacité particulière à comprendre leurs besoins et leurs émotions. Mon expérience m'a permis d'acquérir des compétences précieuses dans les soins aux animaux, et je m'efforce toujours d'offrir le meilleur environnement possible à mes compagnons à quatre pattes. Qu'il s'agisse de promenades, de jeux ou de soins médicaux, ma connexion avec eux est indéfectible et enrichissante. Les animaux sont non seulement des amis fidèles, mais aussi des enseignants qui m'inspirent chaque jour. Je travail de la maison. Je fais mon horaire personnel alors mon horaire est tres flexible. J'ai donc du temps dans le jours pour prendre soins de vos chers animaux J'ai une cours arrière clôturer avec des l'espace pour jouer ou explorer selon l'envie de l'animal. Je suis egalement une personne active alors j'adore aller me promener. Il y a un parc a chien a quelque mètres de la maison egalement si le maître me l'autorise. Je prend toujours le temps qu'il faut avec chaque animal. Peut importe le service qui met demandé.
About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was a child, so I understand their language and needs naturally. While I’m happy to care for dogs of all ages, I especially love spending time with senior dogs. I’m a fan of slow walks, gentle company, and making sure your pup feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. For me, pet care isn't just a job—it’s about treating your dog like a member of my own family, just as I’ve done since I was a kid. et care is my favorite way to transition from the workday to the weekend! I dedicate my weekday evenings after 5:00 PM to active walks and companionship, while my weekends are fully open for longer visits and quality time. Because I focus my care during these specific windows, your dog gets my undivided attention and a consistent routine they can look forward to. Whether at your place or mine, your dog will be treated like family. My home is perfectly set up for furry guests, featuring a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor sniffing and a large, open-concept basement where they can stretch out and play. With two animal-loving teenagers at home, there is never a shortage of attention or belly rubs! I love providing a lively yet supervised environment where dogs can feel truly at home and loved throughout their stay.

“I will definitely be using Alexandra again and again! She took so much care to ensure my dog was taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures each day that made me smile and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. She took my dog for nice long walks each day, and played with her and gave her lots of love. Very grateful that I found Alexandra - she's the best.”
About: I’ve taken care of and had my own dogs and cats for over 20 years. My current dogs are 2 and 9 so I have a wide range of recent experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’m a therapist in training currently so I’m very pro communication and I’m happy to set expectations with you early and keep lines of communication open throughout my time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible especially over the summer, I’m currently studying for my PhD and can pop over for a walk, a feeding, a bathroom break, or just a visit. Especially this summer without classes I can work with you and your schedule. I have two dogs and a cat myself. I think I love them probably more than anything else in this world. In our home we love and respect our pets making sure they feel comfortable and confident and safe. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in back yard, our dogs are walked 2x per day and have bones and lick mats several times per week. I think mutual respect between us and pets is incredibly important and I always want them to live a life as full as possible.
About: I’ve been an animal lover ever since I was younger. I grew up with cats which is where my love for animals began. The independence of cats but also the big role they play in a family is what makes them amazing. They each have their own personality which I enjoy seeing come out. When I moved back home I lived in a house with no animals which is what got me into fostering. I fostered a dog for a year. By the time that year mark hit I decided he was meant to be with me, so now I’m a proud dog mom. I couldn’t imagine living in a home without a pet. I have experience with administering medicine, training and dog introductions. I love to bring dogs on adventures outside. My dog is trained off leash and prefers that when in an area where it is allowed. I am currently a bartender. This means I work late hours, normally from 4:30-9pm. Please note that night time walks would not happen until 9:00-9:30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays-Saturdays. I am looking for both long-term set schedules and anything in between. I have a yard that my dogs love to just hang out and smell all the smells. We also love adventuring on local trails in the area.
About: Dog obedience training certified and in love with all types of animals from dogs to cats and small animals. I highly enjoy walking dogs and spending time with your furry friends. I like to get as much information about your fur babies to provide the best care and fun that can possibly be granted. I train with lots of positive energy, confidence, and reinforcement to push your pets to learn and be the best companions they can be. Dogs enjoy my positive outlook on life and seem to instantly connect with me which allows me to train and walk/care for them in the best ways. I love my work with dogs and I hope to see you and walk, train, and care for your furry pals soon.

“Savannah is the kindest soul and took care of our dog as if they were her own. She was quick to reply for updates and was attentive to Murphys active breed (walks & enrichment). Savanahh will be our go to while in Vermont!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”
“My dog LOVED them ! My dog is used to be around other dog and people but now it’s just me and her, to be back in an environment where there is a family and other dog, it was like a vacancy camp for her Also Pamela was really sharp, she sent me pictures, video and text to keep me updated I will definitively use her service again 😇”
“Thank you Linda. You were great with Toby. I could tell after 6 full days with you Your communication is always prompt and clear. Your photos update are perfect and appreciated. I would highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog. Thank you again Linda.”
About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid-friendly if sitting happens in my home. Good with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once, and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children (I have two dog-loving kids under age 5). I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids) I've always loved my pets as members of the family! I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We don't currently have any pets in our home. Our dogs were allowed on the couch, bed, anywhere, and I was usually curled right up with them, but I of course plan to follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday and it gives me the flexibility to take breaks when needed to be present for your animals in your absence. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.
“I seldom leave my dog behind when traveling, but it was SO great knowing that he was safe and happy staying at Michele’s place. She sent pictures and daily updates so that I knew my pup was okay. It was also very clear that he got his far share of exercise, he slept all day!! Thanks again !!”
About: Hi! I'm Cinara! 👋 I’m an experienced caregiver with a deep love for animals. I have had the honor to care for pets across the lifespan having grown up with many furry, feathery-even scaley-companions. Its been a great joy as well to be a person who impacts animal lives via rescue/rehabilitation and, most recently through fostering at-risk cats. I feel confident in my ability to provide a therapeutic alliance built on patience and understanding with vulnerable animals. I have hands-on training experience and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands and routines in dogs and cats. I always tailor my visit with the specific needs of the pet, and of the caregiver. On walks- allowing an animal to engage each of their senses is the main goal of a walk, to me its all about enrichment. I let animals lead the way while also paying close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can better respond to their needs.I'm confident administering oral medications, managing specific diets, and maintaining steady routines to help minimize stress while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I build my schedule around giving animals the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’m flexible and committed to showing up consistently for the pets I care for. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to keep things comfortable and familiar for them. Let's talk! I take safety and comfort seriously. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I make sure your pet feels secure by keeping things consistent and calm. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and house rules. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority.
“Brittany is the very definition of an animal lover. Her and her family treated our furry family member as one of her own and was extremely accommodating, attentive and responsive. Would recommend!”
“Johnny and Katie were absolutely fabulous with our two dogs! They truly loved having our two and sent updates and pictures twice a day. We would defintely have them watch our pups again!”
“First time using rover and Pete and Alex were awesome! Pete and Alex are so sweet and took great care of Billie. I’m sure Billie loved the huge yard and comfy home as well as their playful pup Hank:) Will definitely have Billie stay there again in the future!”
